Feel-Good Story

My fiancé's junior colleague went around the hospital every day calling herself "the best girl". When a patient with acute appendicitis was admitted, she mistakenly prescribed laxatives instead of proper treatment. The patient nearly went into shock and died. After the hospital was reported by the patient's family, she simply smiled and said, "I don't even need a supervising doctor to prescribe medication anymore. I'm such a good girl!" On another occasion, she failed to order routine pre-op blood work for a surgical patient. During the procedure, a visiting senior surgeon was exposed and later contracted HIV. She actually puffed out her chest and said, "Even if everyone had to stay up all night helping me save the doctor, I'm still the best girl!" I protested more than once and urged my fiancé to dismiss her. He refused every time. He brushed it off with a laugh, saying "this good girl" just needed time and experience. Then, a prominent patient was transferred from a military hospital for surgery. She secretly tampered with the medical records, switching the pathology findings from the left lung to the right. She even revised the surgical plan, recommending removal of the patient's completely healthy right lung. Luckily, I caught the mistake in time, restored the correct pathology report, and performed the surgery successfully. After the patient recovered, he asked for our team to be recognized. To my disbelief, Elena Bakers ran to my fiancé in tears. "I wrote the entire report by myself! All by myself! I'm the best little girl! "Why do you always take credit away from me? It took so much courage for this little girl to be brave just once! "You're all horrible!" Elena stormed out of the hospital and was struck and killed by a car on the spot. My fiancé did not say a word. However, on the very day I was appointed hospital director, he produced falsified evidence accusing me of altering records and causing multiple medical accidents to advance my career. I was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. As the verdict was delivered, he looked at me with unmistakable satisfaction. "You'll never make up for what you owe Elena. Not in this lifetime." When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Elena altered the surgical plan.

Chapter 1

"I did it! I put together the case and the surgery plan all by myself, and it's awesome!"

Elena Bakers hugged the surgery plan, made a fist, and cheered for herself.

I shivered without meaning to.

In my previous life, I caught Elena messing with the surgery plan.

She got the patient's sick left lung mixed up with the right lung.

I was the one who found the mistake and fixed the plan in time, saving the patient's life.

It was only after the operation that we discovered the patient had been transferred from a military medical facility and was someone of considerable importance.

After the patient recovered, he asked for our team to be recognized.

When I got a job offer from a big hospital, Elena told Liam Chapman that I took credit for her work.

She left the hospital angry, and then a car hit her.

Liam did not say anything when he heard she died.

However, when I became the head of the hospital, he made up lies that I cheated and caused lots of medical mistakes.

He got me thrown in jail, and I was sentenced to death.

I could still recall his angry face in my mind.

I had to clench my fists to keep my anger from showing.

Fine. In this life, I would give Elena, the innocent little girl she claimed to be, a chance to grow up.

"The surgery's all set, Mr. Hoffman. Don't worry, the patient will get better for sure."

Liam reassured the patient's family with all his heart.

Elena peeked out, holding the surgery plan, and hopped out from behind the nurse's desk.

"Liam!

"Look, I made this surgery plan all by myself. Make sure you use it later, okay?"

She had turned her nice white coat into something tight and silly.

It was covered in shiny clips that jingled like a Christmas tree when she moved.

It looked really strange.

Chapter 2
The family member turned to look and frowned, "Doctors dress like this now?"When Liam's face turned red, I could not stifle a giggle.After all, I had told her so many times before to dress differently.However, Liam told me not to worry, saying that young people loved trendy stuff.According to him, I was the one who could not keep up with fashion.However, who would dress trendy in a hospital of all places?I walked up, pretending to speak for Elena, "Mr. Hoffman, Elena is the heart of our team. She's got her own way of doing things, but she's really good at her job."If you don't believe me, let her show you the surgery plan she made."Liam looked at her proudly, nodding a lot, "That's right, Mr. Hoffman, I trained Elena myself. She's performed so many major surgeries."Elena gave him a playful punch, "I've told you, stop saying you're my nanny in public! This little girl is all grown up now!"Her over-the-top act made the family member frown even more.She handed over t

We did not say anything else.Liam got ready for the surgery, and I was all set to see what would happen next.As I remembered from before, Elena messed up when it came to the most important thing during the surgery.Liam asked Elena for something, "11 blade, please."However, Elena gave him a 10 blade instead."What's this? This isn't the one I need." Liam, who was always so chill, looked upset for the first time.Elena made a face like she was sorry, "Remember yesterday? I used one to cut an orange, the one you had when you stayed late. You forgot?"That scalpel wasn't as good as this one, so I thought it'd be easier to use this one for the surgery."It was just crazy.The family watching got super mad and started yelling over the speaker, "She used a scalpel to cut oranges?! What kind of doctor does that?!"Get her out of the surgery room, now!"I allowed everyone hear the yelling, and Liam, sweating a bit, tried to calm them down,"Don't worry, it's just a small thing!

If he was going to take such a big risk for Elena, I was not going to stick my neck out any longer.Liam made a cut, and something went terribly wrong. The patient's healthy right lung was removed. Blood started gushing from where the lung had been, and I squinted, trying to figure out what had happened. I thought Liam must have been so nervous that he had accidentally cut a major artery.Liam was freaking out. He yelled, "Elena, stop the bleeding, quick!"The blood had already drenched the whole surgery bed. Elena let out a loud scream. Instead of grabbing something to stop the bleeding, she leaned in and started blowing on the wound."I'll blow on it to make it feel better," she said.Liam's mouth fell open in shock. He pulled her back and quickly worked to stop the bleeding."Liam, did I do something wrong? When you got hurt and were bleeding, blowing on it made it better, right?" Elena's eyes filled with tears. She felt so upset.In the monitoring room, the patient's family

"I saw that his lips were dry, so I thought I'd moisten them a bit, and I pulled out the thing in his mouth."Hearing that, Liam's eyes grew wide with anger, and he could barely get the words out."Elena! How could you be so careless? That was connected to the ventilator!"When a patient is under anesthesia, they can't breathe by themselves. Taking out the breathing tube can be deadly!"Liam dashed to the operating table and started giving the patient CPR. Elena was right behind him, tears streaming down her face. "Liam, why are you so mean to me? The doctor was here for the last surgery, and you just left. No one told me I couldn't do these things!"Do you have any idea how scared I was to step up to that operating table? I almost fainted at the sight of blood, and instead of comforting me, you yelled at me!"If calling Elena's earlier actions foolish was an understatement, then unplugging the patient's breathing tube was downright senseless. I even started to wonder if she di

"What do you mean you threw it away?! Where?!" he shouted, "You heard it was a good organ, so why on earth would you throw it out?!"He started rummaging through the trash, but it was too late. The lung was no good anymore.Liam was at his wit's end, desperate to make a call for a lung transplant for the patient. However, to his surprise, the patient's family had already stormed the hospital director's office. "We saw everything that happened in the operating room! Now, get someone to treat my grandpa and get him out!" they demanded. "Your doctors have no ethics and are playing with people’s lives. If my grandpa remains under their care, he might not make it through the day!" The uproar from the upset family grew louder, forcing the director to step into the operating room and send Liam out to deal with the situation.The moment Liam left the operating room, a family member slapped him. "Do you have any idea who my grandpa is? He's a war hero from '43!" the family member yelled,

Elena's face went white, and she started to stammer as she made frantic excuses."I was just helping Liam out, I wasn't the one doing the surgery. What's this got to do with me?"You shouldn't be after me, you should be after—"I was bracing myself for a real showdown.However, then, out of nowhere, Elena ducked behind Liam and pointed right at me, "It's Claire! She could've done the surgery, but she just stood there, not helping. She left the patient there to die!"And when the patient started bleeding a lot, she didn't even try to help. It's all her fault!"If you're going to arrest someone, take her! She's the one, not me!"After Elena pointed the finger at me, Liam, who had been out of it, suddenly piped up and accused me too, "Yeah! It's all Claire's fault!"She kept telling me to look at where the problem was during the surgery. She knew the plan was wrong from the start."She must've messed with something. We got dragged into this mess because of her!"I almost laughed

I put my phone away and grabbed her hand tightly. Then, after a quick slap, I said, "This is for Sir Hoffman! You don't have any respect or what it takes to be a doctor. You shouldn't be in a hospital. I've called the cops and they'll make sure you get what you deserve!" Twenty minutes later, the police showed up. James spoke with them for a while and told them who the patient was. After they finished up their work, they took Elena away.Watching Elena being led away, Liam let out a big sigh of relief and felt lucky, "Claire, we're so lucky you found out what she was up to or Elena would have really messed things up for us today!"I told her a million times not to do something so terrible, but she just didn't care!"Poor Sir Hoffman had to go through all this trouble." Liam sounded so heartfelt it was almost convincing. I stared at him and asked, "Are you really telling me you're not to blame?"Didn't everyone see the messages? I told Elena not to do it, but she didn't listen t

"Liam, your heart is so cold!"The police officer could tell Liam was feeling guilty and moved in to look for evidence."Please hand over your phone for a routine check."Liam kept his phone in his pocket and would not give it up."Officer, she's lost her mind. How can you listen to all the crazy stuff she’s saying?"There's nothing wrong with my phone, you have to believe me!"When Liam would not cooperate, the officer pressed him down and made him give up the phone.The tech people checked, which soon showed that everything I said was true.Liam's messages were all about working with the hospital director to make accidents happen and get money from the insurance.The evidence was solid, and they arrested the hospital director too.I felt a huge wave of relief.In my previous life, I found out after I was sent to jail that Liam was the one who hurt our baby."Claire, you silly girl, you probably don't even know, right? You can't have kids because of me!"I put something i

I called for a quick meeting and, using what I remembered from before, I made a new plan for Sir Hoffman's surgery.In my previous life, it was Elena who got upset when I changed the surgery plan.Liam, wanting to get back at me, abandoned the scalpel and made me perform the surgery all by myself. Therefore, I knew about Sir Hoffman's illness better than anyone."Sir Hoffman's right lung was taken out. Now, we need to make sure we only remove the sick part of the left lung and keep the healthy part."I think we can carefully remove the sick tissue!"In the meeting room, all the other doctors agreed with my plan.Sir Hoffman was rushed into the surgery room.Before I picked up the scalpel, I breathed in deeply.This time, I was going to change my destiny!I followed the surgery plan, and after three hours, I had successfully removed Sir Hoffman's sick tissue.We saved as much of the healthy lung as we could."We did it! Dr. Hawkins, you're incredible!""Go tell his family th
