Chapter 1260: Chapter 496: Evil Mother-in-law, Level 6 Grasping Technique (Part 2)

The old lady scolded her daughter-in-law with more authority than the Empress Dowager.

"If we can’t ensure the child’s safety, I don’t agree to any surgery. Doesn’t your hospital have any older doctors?"

The old lady was full of distrust towards Zhou Can.

Director Zhuang inviting Zhou Can for a consultation instinctively made the old lady think of Director Zhuang as another ’so-called expert’ and an incompetent doctor.

"Old lady, the child’s face is already turning purple, and if we delay three more minutes, there might be no point in trying to save him. Right now, we doctors are doing everything we can to save him. If you family members don’t trust us and refuse to cooperate, there’s really nothing we can do."

Even if Zhou Can found the old lady unpleasant, he could only treat her politely.

He truly didn’t dare to scold the family members.

"You, you... Are you threatening our family? Do you believe I’ll report you immediately? My cousin’s husband is an official, with just one call, I can get you dismissed!"

The old lady was like an angered hornet.

She pointed at Zhou Can and cursed vehemently.

The patient’s father remained silent the entire time, seemingly very respectful and a bit fearful of his mother.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao..."

The infant’s mother suddenly cried out heart-wrenchingly.

Zhou Can noticed that the child’s limbs were stiffly extending, a sign of impending death.

Suffocation death is far more painful than imagined.

The infant’s face and entire body had already turned purple.

A clear signal of severe hypoxia.

The nurse had already filled out the consent form and handed it to Zhou Can.

"Here’s the consent form. My suggestion is to sign and pay immediately. Every second’s delay significantly increases the risk of the patient’s death."

Zhou Can, encountering such a venomous old lady, found himself with no temper left.

"I’m the child’s mother. Can I sign?"

"Of course, parents are the primary guardians of a child and have the right to make this decision."

Zhou Can nodded.

The infant’s mother quickly signed, wiped away her tears, and handed the consent form to the nurse.

"Doctor, nurse, I’m begging you. Please save my son without hesitation. If anything happens to my son, I’ll take full responsibility, I won’t blame you."

The infant’s mother seemed like a different person.

She was no longer just crying, pleading, and speaking nicely to her mother-in-law submissively but became decisive and bold.

There was even a brave aura about her, as if she’d risk everything to save her son.

Women might be weak, but mothers become strong.

When her son’s life was in great danger, and her mother-in-law was still being unreasonable, she exploded at this critical moment.

Enduring has its limits, once reached, there’s no need to endure anymore.

Zhou Can immediately rushed with the nurse, carrying the child to the endoscopy room. Director Zhuang followed as well.

"You can’t take my grandson away, I won’t allow it, no one can take him!"

The old lady viciously jumped and blocked the door.

"You wretched jinx, malicious woman, you’re not qualified to make decisions for my grandson..." The old lady cursed her daughter-in-law frantically once more.

The seemingly frail daughter-in-law rushed forward and grabbed the old lady’s hair, dragging her forcefully aside.

"Doctor, hurry and save my son. If this old hag dares stop you from saving him, I’m prepared to risk my life!"

Hearing the daughter-in-law’s words, Zhou Can felt a deep satisfaction.

This poor woman should have stood up and resisted long ago.

...

In the endoscopy room, while attaching the life-monitoring sensors to the infant, Zhou Can quickly prepared to perform a laryngoscopy and remove the foreign object.

Director Zhuang observed from the side, assisting him.

Mainly helping to coordinate various aspects.

For example, previously contacting the endoscopy room to quickly prepare, etc.

Zhou Can began to carefully insert the laryngoscope deep into the patient’s mouth.

"What’s the oxygen saturation now?"

"76!"

"Increase oxygen flow through the nasal cannula."

Zhou Can performed the laryngoscopy on the infant while directing others.

This ability to command the entire operation had been honed in Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Some cardiothoracic surgeries are far grander than this.

Requiring coordination in every aspect, various resuscitations, surgeries, medication, blood transfusions, etc.

"I see the foreign object lodged in the trachea!"

Zhou Can was keenly aware that every second counted, leaving him with at most one or two minutes to save the child.

"Can you remove it?"

"I’ll try my best! Report the oxygen saturation!"

"74!"

It had dropped by two points.

Normally, when oxygen saturation falls below 95%, the body shows clear signs of hypoxia.

He knew very well that there was not much time left for the rescue.

The first attempt to pull the foreign object out via the endoscope’s channel failed.

The second try also failed.

Sweat trickled down Zhou Can’s forehead, but he dared not ask the nurse to wipe it. For now, every second mattered to the infant’s life.

"Okay, I’ve clamped it!"

After multiple failures, he finally found a suitable clamping point and successfully clamped the peanut.

[Grasping technique experience points +1, Reward for completing a high-difficulty grasp: Experience Points +1000.]

Even though he received such a generous reward, he dared not get distracted.

He didn’t even pay attention to it.

Holding his breath, it felt like even his heartbeat had momentarily stopped.

He carefully pulled it out.

"Snap!"

A small piece broke off.

Only managed to extract a small fragment of the peanut.

The rescue process is always this thrilling, with all sorts of potential mishaps.

"What’s the oxygen saturation?"

"68!"

Zhou Can took a deep breath, his mind and vision solely focused on the peanut lodged in the trachea.

He attempted once again to clamp the peanut.
