Episode 5: Minru is hospitalized with cancer

Patient Lu Zhiguo was returned to the hospital by ambulance. Chen Hui, He Tong and Yuan Ye did not participate in Lu Zhiguo's surgery.The three of them followed Dean Pan to Mengmeng and handed Mengmeng the letter that Luo Haitao had given to Chen Hui before the operation.They told Mengmeng that this letter was a suicide note left by Luo Haitao.Mengmeng took the suicide note with trembling hands and cried while reading it.In the letter, Luo Haitao expressed his willingness to voluntarily donate his liver and thanked Mengmeng for giving him the courage.After Mengmeng read the suicide note, she understood the choice made by Luo Haitao.

Holding her newborn daughter in her arms, Mengmeng followed Dean Pan and everyone to the newly awakened Luo Chenyu.Mengmeng introduced the daughter in her arms to Luo Chenyu, and asked Chen Hui to read aloud the suicide note left by Luo Haitao to Luo Chenyu and his daughter.Upon hearing the contents of the suicide note, everyone present could not help but shed tears, and deeply felt the deep love of a father for his children.Mengmeng eventually dropped the accusation against the hospital.

The hospital determined that Luo Haitao's death was not caused by He Tong's intubation error, but everyone is still unable to determine the exact cause of death.At this time, Chen Hui suddenly thought that the operation time was too long, and Luo Haitao might have formed a thrombus in the veins of his lower limbs. The thrombus fell off and reached the lungs with the blood flow, causing an embolism, which eventually led to his death after ineffective rescue.Although this possibility is very small, everyone realized after listening that they had ignored this situation.

Director Liu personally assisted a patient in transferring from the oncology department to the surgery department, which caused widespread discussion in the hospital.This patient is Director Liu's first girlfriend Li Minru.Director Liu went to the ward to visit Li Minru. Li Minru was worried about the failure of the operation and asked Director Liu to help take care of his funeral after his unfortunate death.Director Liu comforted Li Minru and said that he and Director Ma would do their best to treat Li Minru.Director Ma witnessed the conversation between the two and felt mixed. He stood silently outside the door for a while and then left.

Director Liu returned to the surgical office and asked Bai Chun about the arrangements for Li Minru's surgery.When he learned that the informed consent form for Li Minru's family members for surgery had not yet been signed, Director Liu immediately picked up the consent form and prepared to sign it.Upon seeing this, Dr. Wang quickly grabbed the consent form and said that Director Liu could not sign it, and asked Chen Hui to explain to Director Liu the signing regulations for the patient's family members.After hearing this, Director Liu seemed a little irritable and walked to his seat to sit down.Dr. Wang followed closely and reminded Director Liu that Li Minru had broken up with him and left China for many years, hoping that Director Liu could let go of the past.Director Liu firmly stated that Li Minru had no relatives in China, but she found him directly after returning to China, and he should be responsible for ensuring that she successfully completed the operation.Dr. Wang looked at Director Liu helplessly and mentioned that when Li Minru broke up and left China, it was Director Ma who stayed with Director Liu.Dr. Wang excitedly emphasized that Director Liu now has a family of his own and needs to consider Director Ma's feelings and must not sign the consent form.Dr. Wang asked Director Liu to think carefully before leaving Director Liu's office on his own.When he reached the door, Director Liu stopped Dr. Wang and informed everyone of a meeting to discuss Li Minru's surgical plan.After Dr. Wang informed everyone, they heard the conversation between the two outside Director Liu's office, and no one was surprised.

During the surgical meeting, based on the patient's wishes, Director Liu and Bai Chun recommended a conservative radical mastectomy for breast cancer without total removal of the breast.Everyone understood that this was what Director Liu meant. Although they believed that total resection should be used, no one raised any objection.Only Chen Hui clearly expressed his opposition and suggested that total resection should be carried out.Dr. Wang kept telling Chen Hui that Director Liu's plan was appropriate, but Chen Hui did not understand the world and insisted on his own opinions.It happened that at this time, Director Ma came to the conference room and expressed that he wanted to observe the meeting.Bai Chun told Director Ma about the planned conservative treatment plan, but Director Ma raised the same questions as Chen Hui.Everyone had different expressions when they heard this, and they didn't dare to answer.Chen Hui directly stated that everyone disagreed with this plan and believed that a complete operation should be carried out.Everyone made excuses to explain, but Chen Hui directly exposed everyone's tacit understanding in front of Director Ma and revealed all the private discussions.Director Ma understood clearly and kept smiling, praising everyone for learning from Director Liu and deeply understanding the patients' psychological emotions and needs.Then, Director Ma asked about the informed consent form of Li Minru’s family.After learning that no one had signed yet, Director Ma said that Director Liu and himself were both relatives of Li Minru and should help sign, and handed it to Director Liu to sign.Director Liu knew something was wrong and said he was determined not to sign.Upon seeing this, Director Ma took the pen and signed it for Li Minru.

During lunch time, Director Liu learned that Director Ma was in a bad mood because of something, and he felt a little uneasy.In order to ease the atmosphere, Director Liu took the initiative to buy lunch and delivered it to Director Ma, taking the opportunity to express his gratitude to him.Director Ma felt a little relieved and reminded Director Liu not to think about the past between him and Li Minru, but to just concentrate on the surgery.However, he also expressed his concerns about conservative treatment to Director Liu.In order to eliminate Director Ma's doubts, Director Liu took the initiative to explain the reasons why he chose the conservative treatment plan and said that this was a decision made after careful consideration.He also expressed his gratitude to Director Ma for his understanding and support.

Later, Director Ma went to visit Li Minru.The two communicated with each other about the current situation, and Li Minru told Director Ma that she wanted to take a shower before the operation.Director Ma was worried about her physical condition and helped her to the bathroom.Although Li Minru insisted on taking a shower by herself, she accidentally slipped and fell while taking off her clothes.

Director Ma was so anxious after seeing this scene that he rushed into the bathroom immediately.He was horrified to discover that Lee Min-ru's hair had fallen out quite badly, and she had been wearing a wig to hide this fact.After Li Minru saw Director Ma barging in, she put on her wig again in a panic and repeatedly stated that she could continue taking a shower.

Director Ma hugged Li Minru distressedly and gently comforted her as she cried.He knew in his heart that the pain and struggle this strong and beautiful woman had gone through was far beyond his imagination.At that moment, he vowed to do everything he could to help her and give her the courage and hope to live again.
