Chapter 459: Leave the Choice to the Patient



Ye Qingtao calmly took the old lady's pulse, then stood up and walked out.

Shi Jinhang knew that she had something to say, so he immediately followed her out.

Ye Qingtao came to the edge of the corridor and looked at Shi Jinhang with a serious expression.

"The tumor in your mother's brain has pressed on the retinal nerves and has now caused blindness."

Ye Qingtao briefly explained the old lady's condition, and Shi Jinhang came back to his senses from his shock.

"Doctor Ye, are you saying that my mother is blind? But she could still see yesterday."

"Your mother is not completely blind now, but the things in her eyes cannot form images. She can only see a shadow, not the actual human figure."

"This is also the real reason why she was able to find me before but didn't know who I was."

Ye Qingtao briefly explained the old lady's situation, and Shi Jinhang gradually came back to his senses from his shock.

"What can I do now to save my mother's life?"

"We must perform surgery immediately. And because the old lady is old and needs a craniotomy, I have to remind you that the risk of surgery is very high. Even with my medical skills, there is only a 50% chance of success."

Ye Qingtao likes to make sure things are clear before treating a patient.

She never exaggerates and always speaks the truth.

There is nothing she can do if the patient's family cannot accept it.

After all, she is just a doctor and cannot guarantee a 100% cure rate.

What she was sure of was that as long as she took the surgery, she would do her best to get the treatment.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate. As for what the outcome will be, she feels that as long as she has tried her best, she will have a clear conscience.

Besides, no one else would dare to perform this operation on the old lady.

After all, the patients are too old and the success rate of the operation is too low. Most people are very careful about their reputation and dare not take the risk.

Some people simply don't dare to take action for fear of getting into trouble.

The reason why Shi Jinhang has been looking for a famous doctor is actually because this operation is too dangerous and no one dares to do it even if they have money.

This is why it has been delayed until now. Otherwise, if he had the financial resources, he would have solved this problem long ago and would not have waited until now.

"Is the success rate only 50%? Is there any other way besides surgery?"

Shi Jinhang's voice was trembling when he spoke. The last time he felt so desperate and helpless was probably when he just started his business.

At that time, I was tricked by someone and all my initial capital was swallowed up. I almost couldn't survive.

Later, with his tenacious perseverance, he learned from his previous lessons, started over again with difficulty, and worked hard step by step to where he is today, which led to his current success.

"If surgery is not an option, acupuncture is the only option."

"Acupuncture treatment takes a long time to take effect. It can only suppress the condition in the first year, and the situation will only improve slightly after a year."

"If you are young, I recommend this method. After all, you can handle it and you are not afraid of pain."

"But it's different for the elderly. Their physical constitution is very poor and their health is very bad. They may die within a year."

"So the current situation is that there is no other way except surgery. As for what to do specifically, you should make the decision yourself."

Ye Qingtao shut up after saying this.

She doesn't like to persuade people. She always explains the situation and then gives the other party the right to choose.

This way, she won't have to bear any consequences later.

Everyone is an independent individual. She can only give suggestions but cannot interfere forcefully.

Unless she was 100% sure about this matter, she would rather not have the operation than get herself into trouble.

Shi Jinhang was silent for a long time and couldn't make a decision.

"Doctor Ye, please wait outside for a moment. I will go and discuss this with my mother. I still hope to respect her opinion on this matter."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll sit here for a while."

Ye Qingtao found a chair and sat down. She closed her eyes and began to rest.

As a pregnant woman, she has taken such a long time to get here by car and must be very tired now.

Ye Qingtao didn’t know what Shi Jinhang had said to his mother, nor did she care about the communication between them.

She only knew that no matter what choice Shi Jinhang made, it would be beneficial to her.

Because he needed her help in any way, Ye Qingtao could achieve her goal.

Half an hour later, Ye Qingtao had become a little impatient when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

"Doctor Ye, my mother said she wants to see you and talk to you. Could you please come over?"

Ye Qingtao stood up and walked inside slowly.

The old lady on the hospital bed still maintained her previous posture, with her blank eyes open, looking in the direction she came in.

"Doctor, you said my disease has a 50% cure rate? Is this true or false?"

"Of course it's true. I've performed heart surgeries on friends with even lower cure rates."

Ye Qingtao briefly talked about Ouyang He's situation.

"The final result is that my friend's operation was very successful and now he is like a normal person."

"But I want to emphasize again that I will try my best to perform the surgery, but I am not sure whether I can complete it successfully."

"If grandma trusts me, I can arrange the surgery tomorrow morning. If grandma doesn't trust me, I can leave now."

Ye Qingtao always speaks and acts in a straightforward manner, without any hesitation.

Even when facing the elderly, she always speaks her mind.

The old lady fell into deep thought just like Shi Jinhang.

Ye Qingtao knew that giving the choice back to her and her son would be a very difficult decision for them.

This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, it concerns a human life.

If he made the wrong decision, Shi Jinhang would lose his mother and the old lady would lose her own life.

That's why she was reluctant to speak because she was too afraid of death and was extremely cautious in her heart, which made her so hesitant.

The old lady gets a headache whenever she thinks about a problem seriously.

She kept overturning her own conclusions, sometimes wanting to have the surgery and sometimes not wanting to do it.

As she was struggling like this, she soon began to feel severe pain in her head.

"Ah! My head hurts! My head hurts!"

The old lady coughed violently and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

As soon as Ye Qingtao saw this situation, she knew that things were going to be bad.

The old lady's brain tumor was stimulated again because of excessive thinking, and her condition worsened further.

Ye Qingtao originally thought that based on previous experience, there would be no problem in having the surgery tomorrow morning.

Now seeing the old lady like this, she knew that the surgery had to be done earlier.

If the person is not put on the operating table tonight, the old lady will become a corpse tomorrow!
