Chapter 9

Author: Brave Veteran
A person's will to survive played a crucial role in their hope of recovery. This was especially true for patients approaching the final stages of their disease. Both their physical and psychological states would undergo tremendous changes.

"This matter was indeed your fault," Camilla slowly said. "But people aren't machines. Everyone makes mistakes. The hospital has enough equipment and plenty of staff. Even if the patient ended up in a sudden critical condition, there would have been enough ti

    Over at the lab in Hope Hospital, Jeremy was eyeing the report with a puzzled expression. "It's only a 36% match?"But he merely glanced over it briefly without dwelling on it. Kidneys had a very short preservation period. Slight changes in the condition during transportation, along with differences in testing equipment, could easily cause this kind of discrepancy. It was not a glaring red flag.He was about to put away the report when he caught the signature at the bottom of the report, and it made him pause."Simon Atwood?"That was the doctor on duty in the emergency room today. He was the one who performed the emergency surgery for the patient with early-stage lung cancer.While any attending physician had the authority to check on the lab and conduct the tests, the surgery for the patient had ended at around the same time the kidney was tested for compatibility. How did Simon manage to do both?Before Jeremy could ponder any further, a lab technician handed him another repor

    Charlotte blinked. Was Jeremy comforting her?Her eyes became even more watery, and she couldn't help clutching his coat even more tightly.She suddenly remembered how Jeremy had always been very encouraging, both in her studies and throughout her internship.Yesterday was the first time he'd raised his voice at her.Fortunately, he had returned to his usual self today, and Charlotte felt a strange sense of relief, like she'd regained something she thought she'd lost.She couldn't help but recall what she had said to Zachary in his hospital room earlier this morning.Glancing at the nurses' station, she confirmed that the other nurse had completed the paperwork, leaving Jeremy's debit cards on the counter.Charlotte turned to the side, her cheeks bright red as she said, "Since you comforted me today, I'll… begrudgingly allow you to continue being my brother-in-law. But you're not allowed to scold me again. Otherwise, I'll have Zachary be my brother-in-law instead!"Hearing that

    Jeremy looked around. They were near the nurses' station, and there was no one else around at the moment.Only then did he lower his head and ask, "How much money do you have right now?"The man froze for a moment before saying bleakly, "I already gave all my money to the hospital. I asked around to see if I could borrow some money just now, but I only managed to gather 20 thousand."Jeremy nodded. He took out two debit cards from his pocket and handed them to the nurse who had followed him the entire way.One was for the account where his salary was deposited. The other belonged to his mother and contained the compensation he received from selling his research findings."Swipe them first. Same arrangement as usual."The "usual arrangement" referred to processing a delayed transaction and breaking the hospital regulations by issuing the medication in advance. The nurse had done that many times before.Jeremy looked at the man."I'll apply for medical assistance funding on your

    "I'm sorry, but the targeted medication is a little different," Charlotte explained. "Every vial is precious. If we release it without payment every time we feel sorry for someone, and patients refuse to pay afterward, the hospital has to bear the financial losses. Soon, it won't have the money to operate properly—"The man suddenly kicked the wall. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Charlotte. "A life is at stake right now, and you're fucking lecturing me about financial losses?"While his wife was lying on the operating table, he had to listen to a nurse talk about money and preventing financial losses for the hospital.Fully enraged, he stuck one of his burly arms out and grabbed Charlotte by the collar."Bring me the damn drug now!"He raised his other fist, as if he were about to swing it at her any second now.Charlotte was completely frozen in fear. Her back was flat against the wall, and her face was drained of all color. Her forehead was covered in sweat. When she s

    Angela was never one to trust numbers and data printed on a piece of paper. Countless companies had approached her, seeking a business deal, and she didn't turn any of them down right off the bat.She'd ignored her family's objections and spent half her fortune establishing various charitable foundations to present herself to the relevant authorities, all in a bid to secure this project. She'd done it to prove that if the project was given to her, it would truly be implemented and used for the benefit of ordinary people.As for the remaining half of her fortune, she'd used it to establish connections and curry favors.In the end, she'd succeeded. At this moment, she held the key to the government-funded medical equipment project.Just the approval rights, subsidies for medical equipment sales, and procurement alone were enough for her to recover her investment. Besides that, there were plenty of other privileges that came with it.All the companies involved in related industries n

    If the kidney was indeed highly compatible with him, Zachary didn't mind going through with the transplant now.Soon, he received a few documents."A 48% compatibility match?"The number made him frown. He'd majored in medicine during his studies abroad. While he'd never been particularly focused on his education, he knew a thing or two about his condition.A minimum of 40% compatibility was sufficient to proceed with a kidney transplant, so a 48% match would be deemed suitable for him.However, that younger half-sister of his, with whom he shared a father, was an 80% match with him. How could a 48% match compete with that?Zachary immediately typed out a message. "If the hospital runs another compatibility test for the kidney and me later, change the matching rate to under 40%."There was always a margin of error in organ compatibility testing. Different equipment could lead to different readings, and even the transportation process could affect the organ. Such discrepancies we
