If Lin Aixi had transferred to Tu Ya's hospital that night, willing to take some risks and accept Zhou Can's suggestion, his daughter might have had a chance.
Lin Jinzhi, although part of the healthcare system, was not a doctor and was completely unaware of the severity of the disease's progression.
Many chronic diseases, if treated late, can be fatal.
Take stomach cancer, for instance. The difference of one day can mean the difference between Stage II and Stage III. This is why when doctors suspect a malignancy, they go to great lengths to arrange a bed, admit the patient quickly, and conduct various checks as soon as possible.
Sometimes, they even start medication before the test results come out.
This is truly a compassionate act.
To doctors, treating one more patient or one less patient almost makes no difference.
