Zhou Lei's temper flared when he heard this question. How dare a little girl ask him such a question?
“Princess, I have my own plan to deal with this. Please make way for me.”
Su Ruojin disregarded all of that and asked again, "How do you plan to treat this mother and child? What are the chances of saving them?"
It wasn't that she was being aggressive or looking down on Zhou Lei, but time was of the essence. If Zhou Lei wasn't sure, it would be a waste of time, and if they delayed any longer, the person would truly be beyond saving.
Zhou Lei flicked his sleeve. "If the princess does not trust me, I can step aside and let the princess treat me. How about that?"
"Then please leave!" Su Ruojin said directly, not caring about anything else.
To save the mother and child, a cesarean section is the only option, but even then, the child's survival is uncertain.
After all, we don't have the incubators and gastric tubes that we have in later generations.
Fortunately, the baby is already over eight months old and almost full term, so the development of various bodily functions will be relatively better.
She couldn't guarantee the baby would survive, but she was certain she could save the mother.
Zhou Lei was stunned. He didn't expect Su Ruojin to kick him out. He was the divine doctor of Yuncheng, and no one had ever treated him like this before!
That blond brat is ridiculous!
"Princess, do you know who I am? If I am gone, who will save her?"
"Miss, the medicine box is here." At this moment, Yanluo also came in carrying the medicine box.
Su Ruojin and Zhao Jingning came by carriage. Since the assassination attempt on them in Yuncheng, Su Ruojin has been extremely cautious and has prepared a medicine kit in the carriage in case of emergency.
She was glad she made that decision; otherwise, the lack of tools would have delayed the rescue.
"Dr. Zhou, what are your chances of saving her?" Su Ruojin looked directly into Zhou Lei's eyes and asked again.
Zhou Lei was taken aback. What were his chances?
He had nothing; in his eyes, the woman in labor was practically a dead person.
But he certainly couldn't show weakness in front of the Crown Prince and Lord Zhang.
"Patients' conditions can change in an unpredictable way, and everything has to wait until treatment begins. Which doctor can guarantee that they can definitely cure a patient?"
Zhou Lei started going in circles.
Su Ruojin looked at Master Li and said, "I am 70% confident that I can save your wife, but I am only 50% confident that I can save the child. Now you have to choose: do you choose me or do you choose Doctor Zhou to treat the child?"
Master Li was stunned. He hadn't expected this little girl to know medicine. Naturally, he was willing to trust Doctor Zhou.
But Master Li wasn't stupid. When the little maid asked Doctor Zhou how confident he was, Doctor Zhou didn't dare to answer directly. Yet this little maid was able to say that she was 70% confident of saving the lady.
Seeing that Master Li was still hesitating, Su Ruojin became anxious and her voice became stern, "If you hesitate any longer, even a god can't save you!"
Zhou Lei's competitive spirit surged instantly; he couldn't let Su Ruojin steal his thunder.
His original plan was to treat the patient halfway through, then hand the rest over to Su Ruojin to finish, so that if the person died, he could blame it on Su Ruojin.
But what if he doesn't participate at all?
The patient would rather choose a young, blonde girl than him; that would be a slap in the face to this self-proclaimed miracle doctor.
“Master Li, have you thought this through? This concerns the lives of your wife and children. If you make the wrong choice, there will be no chance to regret it!” Zhou Lei said coldly.
"Dr. Zhou, how confident are you in saving my wife and the child in her womb?" Master Li asked Su Ruojin the same question.
Zhou Lei cursed her inwardly as an idiot. Su Ruojin had already said that there was a 70% chance of saving the adult and a 50% chance of saving the child.
He needed to suppress Su Ruojin, and at least say that he could save the adults 80% and the children 60%.
Such a high probability meant that the adult could definitely be saved, but he really wasn't sure, so he dared not agree.
