His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 892:

“No kidding. And the worst part? He was the one who took this patient from Dr. Wright in the first place. Now look at how that turned out.”

“To be fair, we can’t completely blame him. A biological valve tearing through the left ventricular wall is incredibly rare…”

Maybe one in fifty cases. Plus, he had already performed two back-to-back surgeries. After that level of mental strain, it’s not surprising he overlooked a possibility like this.” Turner’s supporter immediately spoke, eager to defend him.

“But didn’t Belinda specifically mention that the patient had fragile tissue? It was clearly recorded in the medical history. Did Dr. Ortiz even review it? If he had, he would have been extra cautious when selecting the valve size. This entire situation was preventable.”

“Exactly! We’re all doctors here, and we know how critical a left ventricular rupture is. One wrong move and the patient could have died. And given the patient’s advanced age of over seventy years, extra caution should have been taken.”

The doctor who had been defending Turner hesitated, struggling to counter the argument.

Originally, only the night shift staff were supposed to remain at the hospital, while the rest were free to leave after work. But Caiden had made a decisive call to the Cardiac Surgery Department, instructing everyone to stay for a meeting.

The meeting would take place as soon as the surgery concluded. Even those who had already gone home or were off-duty were summoned back.

By the time Turner’s surgery ended, the entire department had assembled in the conference room.

Many doctors who hadn’t been present earlier were left speechless as they listened to their colleagues recount what had happened. Their gazes soon turned to Belinda, filled with newfound respect.

As the hospital director entered, the room fell silent, signaling the start of the meeting.

Caiden spoke first.

“We’re here to discuss the incident that took place today, specifically, Dr. Ortiz’s surgical error, which resulted in a left ventricular rupture.”noveldrama

Turner’s face turned dark.

Caiden continued in an even tone, “During Dr. Ortiz’s surgery, unexpected bleeding occurred, and he was unable to get it under control. That’s when I had Dr. Wright step in to assist. In the end, it was Dr. Wright who discovered the real issue—the bioprosthetic valve had punctured the back wall of the patient’s left ventricle. After successfully repairing the damage, Dr. Wright left the operating room. However, before that, she pointed out a critical fact: the patient had particularly fragile tissue. This information was clearly documented in the medical records that had been handed over to Dr. Ortiz before the surgery.”

Caiden turned his attention to Turner, his gaze sharp.

“Dr. Ortiz, are you saying you weren’t aware of this before proceeding with the operation? Because if you were, then the logical course of action would have been to consider it when selecting the size of the bioprosthetic valve. So, Dr. Ortiz, can you explain why this crucial factor was overlooked by you?”
