RedNovelChapter 127 Chapter 127: Casey, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Khloe had clearly been overconfident. There was no way Murray's surgery should be in their hands. Not only would Khloe be unable to finish the bet, but she had also offended Orion. There was no way she'd stay at Zhecrora University.
She had it coming! "Dr. Ruiz, I stand behind Khloe. You have to trust her. She's a true prodigy in medicine, and I'm confident she can make a real difference in Mr. Sampson's condition." Daryl, who had entered the ward behind Khloe, spoke up with authority. A respected veteran in her field, she had the clout to be here and wasted no tdefending Khloe when she saw what was happening.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOrion's brow furrowed as he shot Daryl an annoyed glare, reprimanding her sharply. "Professor Hewitt, you've completely lost it, falling for this naive girl's tricks. If you say she has a gift for pharmaceuticals, I'll take your word for it. But pharmaceuticals and surgery are two entirely different things. She has no business treating Mr. Sampson. This surgery is far beyond her abilities. That's enough. Security! Get her out of here." Just then, the heart monitor blared an alarm, and Murray's heart rate sharply dropped on the screen.
One of the PhD students rushed to the bedside, his face pale as he checked Murray's vitals. "Something's wrong! Mr. Sampson's heartbeat is erratic, and he's not responding." Orion's jaw tightened as he stepped forward. "Start emergency treatment. Administer oxygen-" Before he could finish, Khloe's calm voice cut through the chaos. "Begin oxygen therapy, administer a D52:24 intravenously, and prepare the ECMO machine to stabilize his vitals." Her unexpected confidence made Orion pause.
Did she actually know something about medicine? Stay connected through galŋovlsEven so, curing Murray was a whole different story.
The PhD student hesitated, his gaze bouncing nervously between Khloe and Orion. "Professor, what should we do now?" Orion's lips pressed into a thin line before he nodded firmly. "Do as she said." Khloe's plan was sound, and Murray's life was on the line. He wasn't so stubborn as to delay Murray's treatment. The PhD student sprang into action, and Orion rolled up his sleeves to assist. The room was tense with the hum of machinery and hurried footsteps.
Despite their combined efforts, the monitor's readings continued to nosedive.
A fine sheen of sweat formed on Orion's brow. His mind raced as he tried to think of a solution.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Khloe's voice rang out again, slicing through the tension. “Does Mr. Sampson suffer from rheumatism? His symptoms suggest rheumatic heart disease. Did he have a valve replacement surgery recently? The post-op antibiotics weren't administered for more than a week, correct?" Orion stiffened. Indeed, Murray hadn't responded well to the antibiotics, so they had stopped the treatment after a week post-operation.
The PhD student also froze in shock.
This information was highly confidential, protected by layers of privacy regulations. How could Khloe possibly know about it? Orion's piercing gaze locked onto her. "What made you say that?"
Khloe met his gaze, her expression unwavering. "The issue lies with the antibiotics. Look at Mr. Sampson's fingertips they're marred with dark spots, which are clear signs of a bacterial infection. In a word, his treatment is failing. You need to switch to vancomycin immediately."
Every doctor in the room, including Orion, fell into stunned Silence as the weight of Khloe's observation sank in.
