Chapter 132 Chapter 132: A flicker of jealousy and disdain flashed across Casey's face.
This was merely a tumor excision-something she had mastered in textbooks and practice sessions. Her earlier misstep had been nothing more than a fluke, she told herself. Her gaze flicked toward the observation room, and the memory of their wager ignited a fresh wave of anger within her.
No way was she going to let Khloe hog all the credit.
"I'll take over from here and remove the tumor from the blood vessels myself! Step aside!" Casey announced, her voice brimming with self-assurance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKhloe shot her a sidelong glance and responded coolly, "Start by excising a portion of the tumor first." Khloe's plan was for Casey to begin by removing a section of the tumor, allowing her to familiarize herself with its intricacies before tackling the blood vessels.
After all, if she handled the entire procedure alone, it would take too long, and Murray didn't have that kind of time.
While Khloe was known for her decisiveness and toughness, in the operating room, her innate compassion as a doctor always took precedence.
There was no room for levity when it cto life-or-death situations.
She concentrated on excising the tumor, carefully placing each removed section into the surgical tray.
But just then, Casey made a move that left everyone stunned and gasping in disbelief.
The blood vessels had almost entirely separated.
Casey's scalpel cut away a sizable tumor near the heart, tossing it into a nearby tray. Discover more at galWithout warning, the monitor began to beep urgently, the blood pressure dropped, and the heart's rhythm beca steady, lifeless line.
Casey's face drained of color, her complexion turning ashen. In that split second, every heart in the room skipped a beat. Daryl's breath caught in disbelief.
"This is disastrous! The tumor was already pressing on Mr. Sampson's weak heart. A minor misstep with the blood vessels causes a dangerous imbalance in blood pressure. Now the heart is dead!" "Such a tragedy! The tumor was nearly removed entirely. Under normal conditions, Casey's procedure would've worked, but who could have known Mr. Sampson's heart was so fragile that even the slightest trauma could cause it to fail!" "The only option now is an immediate heart transplant, but with the tumor still partially intact and the heart already stopped, this surgery is a lost cause. Mr. Sampson has no chance." The professors shook their heads in resignation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOrion's lips twisted into a cruel smile. Just as he had anticipated, this surgery was a complete failure. Khloe, that reckless fool, was about to becthe object of ridicule, her reputation ruined.
Panic set in as Casey realized the magnitude of her mistake. But she quickly refocused, determined not to take responsibility for the blunder. Instead, she aimed to place the blon Khloe. "Khloe, how could you have cut the tumor like that? Why leave blood vessels still attached? Is this how you help? Did you sabotage this on purpose because of the bet? Look what you've done! Mr. Sampson's life is on the line now!"
Witnessing Casey's reckless actions.
and her audacity to accuse her, Khloe narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning heneyes, En.
as cold and sharp as an ice-cold pool.
"Casey, the facts are all there in the operating room. There are om surveillance videos that can easily be reviewed. Do you think the Wance videos professors and experts here are blind to what's happening?"
In that instant, Casey was so unnerved by Khloe's piercing stare that she was at a loss for words, her lips quivering in silence. "Step aside, Casey. I'll finish this surgery on my own!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
