"I'm going to withdraw it now."
Indeed, the woman had some savings; hundreds of thousands in her account were available for immediate withdrawal.
...
Half an hour later, the woman had paid a surgical fee of 120,000 yuan.
With the funds in place, Dr. Ou called Wu Baihe, who was in the middle of a major surgery that would take at least six to eight hours.
With no other choice, they had to turn to Director Wen.
After some communication, Director Wen finally agreed to perform an emergency interventional surgery on the patient.
On one hand, the condition was indeed critical; on the other hand, the interventional surgery usually took less time.
In uncomplicated cases, the surgery typically only needed one to two hours to complete.
The next steps were straightforward: arrange for the anesthesiologist to come for a pre-surgery talk, have the anesthetic consent form signed. Dr. Ou took care of getting the surgical consent form signed by the family.
