A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 125
That afternoon, Dave visited Joseph's office."Dr. Hart, give it to me straight. What's the real situation with Mr. Ernest Ashmore?""I won't comment on what other specialists are capable of, but at my end, all I can do is keep him alive through conservative treatment."If you want a more optimistic outcome or a chance at recovery, he needs to be transferred to Croma Hospital. They have the best resources and at least a chance worth gambling on."So, who's pressuring you? The family? The hospital administration, or your superior?" Joseph asked."All of them, though most of it is coming from the state authorities…""An administrative order? That's basically throwing us at the deep end! If they're really making those demands, Walt and the others can handle it. It shouldn't be on us.""Joseph, it's just the two of us here right now. You need to level with me. Stop dodging the question."Feeling anxious, Dave quickly humbled himself to get on Joseph's good side."I can keep him br

The next day, Joseph arrived at the hospital to find Dave already there, which surprised him a little. "Did you hear about what happened to Bill, Joseph? The guy who transferred out of our department?""Yeah, a few professors and students from the university called me last night and told me Bill got arrested at home. I don't know the details, though. You probably know more about it, right?"Joseph didn't really want to discuss it since it was none of his business."I asked someone I know in the legal system earlier. And they did reveal a few details to me without compromising their principles. Apparently, when Bill went out drinking last weekend, he brought a woman from a nightclub home."Last night, that woman went to the police and accused him of assaulting her. She had some pretty solid evidence, too, so they arrested him. I never took him for that kind of guy.""At the end of the day, all of us are just regular people."Joseph did not bring up Bill again. After talking about

The ICU department wasn't just treating one patient. Everyone admitted there had one foot in the grave. Throughout the day, Joseph was either discussing treatment plans with other doctors or personally rushing into emergency rescues.By the time he got off work, it was already 8:00 pm. The moment he walked through the front door, he noticed Cora's scowl; it was clearly directed at him.Joseph asked, "Did I do something?""Of course! What's wrong with your classmate, Bill? He has been going around telling people that your wife is a nightclub hostess," Cora snapped."Bill? What did he say? How did you hear about it?" Joseph questioned."Bill is spreading word of that hospital dorm incident across your alumni chat and our daughters' parent groups. He's even hired people to smear you online. It's relentless! Has he lost his mind?" Cora was displeased.Joseph understood the situation at once. It had been barely a day, yet Bill was already launching an all-out assault. How much did the

The patient Joseph had been called in to save was none other than Ernest. Early in the morning, Ernest's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. The doctors on duty had no choice but to contact Joseph and the others.By the time Joseph arrived at the hospital, Walt and the rest had just gotten there as well. There was no time for small talk. Everyone headed straight into the treatment.They worked until dawn. It was only then that Ernest's condition stabilized. Walt let out a long breath of relief. He ordered breakfast for the staff and asked to speak with Joseph privately.Walt began, "Joseph, you've seen the situation for yourself. Just now, you performed the surgery, but I signed it off. Regardless of the outcome, the patient's family won't hold you responsible.""I don't have confidence in the outcome. Performing surgery would practically be pushing the patient toward death. You wouldn't dare perform it yourself either," Joseph replied.Walt muttered, "I believe you can

Joseph really wanted to walk over and slap Cora across the face for cheating on him. He suppressed the impulse. If all he wanted was revenge against her, he would have exposed her long ago."The reason Walt is still at Jenton University Hospital is that your family pulled strings to protect him, right?" Joseph asked after washing his hands."Yes, that outcome serves everyone's interests. Joe, if you would just listen to me and think about what's best for this family, Walt would step down eventually," admitted Cora. She was hoping to work with Joseph based on mutual interests."Me and the Lowell family? You guys don't need an outsider like me. Tell Frank to transfer Ernest to Croma Hospital as soon as possible. Keeping him at Jenton University Hospital is pointless. They don't have the resources to treat him," Joseph stated.Cora asked, "You can't save him either?"Joseph answered, "No."Cora said, "Maybe it isn't that you can't. Maybe it's that you won't.""I've already made my

When Joseph arrived home and learned that Cora hadn't returned, he didn't comment on it. Instead, he went straight to the study and continued working on his doctoral thesis.Over the next few days, Joseph headed to the sanatorium to treat Ethan, staying there for most of the day before returning home at night.After the first phase of the acupuncture and medication treatment was completed, Ethan's condition showed obvious improvement. His test results reflected major progress as well.Joseph couldn't cure acute leukemia, but he could strengthen Ethan's body and improve the latter's overall physical condition. Joseph could give Ethan a much better chance to fight the illness.Once the treatment ended, Ethan paid Joseph a substantial consultation fee before returning to Croma.That weekend, Joseph went fishing by the river to clear his mind. Several days had passed without seeing Cora, and he had no desire to see her either. Through Ella, he learned that she had been staying at her
