"Dr. Xu, please discuss with them. We can't wait any longer. If oxygen starvation causes brain damage, even if the patient survives, they'll be in agony," Liu Banxia urged anxiously, seeing Xu Guosheng still hesitating.
"Alright, let's take a gamble. If there's a problem, I'll shoulder the blame with you." Saying this, Xu Guosheng walked into the ICU.
Liu Banxia slumped to the ground. This is the only chance, he thought, even though I'm not fully confident.
The bronchoscopy had revealed the only abnormality. Even the slightest relief could buy the patient more time, he reasoned.
Qing Kewa and Liang Xiaolin arrived then, looking quite calm as they had taken the elevator. They spotted Liu Banxia slouched against the wall.
The sight startled them. The patient's condition must have worsened, they thought. Otherwise, Liu Banxia wouldn't look so dispirited.
"Don't overthink it. We've done our best," Liang Xiaolin consoled, crouching beside Liu Banxia.
