Chapter 1099: A Dismal Situation
Jane hadn’t been paying attention to the news lately, so she had no idea that Patrick was holding a press conference at the moment.
She had been at the hospital the whole time, because April’s pregnancy had been facing some complications and she needed to be there.
After arranging Beatrice’s funeral, Jane had been by April’s side in the hospital. How could she not be there for a close friend in such a time of need?
Those who had never been mothers wouldn’t understand the worry and sadness that comes with fetal complications. But Jane, as a mother of two, knew all too well. That’s why she had rushed to comfort April as soon as she could.
If it weren’t for Beatrice’s funeral, Jane would have moved to the hospital even sooner.
“There’s nothing to worry about. You have to trust the advancements in medicine and science. I’ve already asked the doctors about their plan to solve this,” Jane reassured April.
“What’s most important now is your mental adjustment. Only when you are in the right frame of mind can you cooperate with the doctors’ treatment plan and help the baby return to its normal position as soon as possible.”
April nodded vigorously at Jane’s words. She had been scared and anxious at first, but Jane’s words had helped her understand something important.
It was that the baby wouldn’t return to its normal position on its own due to her worries and confusion. It definitely needed medical treatment.
And if there was to be medical treatment, she needed to cooperate with it.
So she had to improve her mood, no room for excessive suppression allowed.
April smiled. She was truly grateful to have Jane as a friend.
Jane had been with April for the past two days, and her company had kept April’s spirits relatively upbeat.
But after those two days, things changed once more. And that was because April still didn’t have a specific treatment plan for the baby.
So she was particularly anxious, and her mental state began to dip.
If Jane hadn’t engaged April in conversation, April wouldn’t have wanted to talk at all. Jane had no choice.
She had to speak to the doctors and inquire about a better plan to expedite April’s recovery.
This kind of condition was unacceptable for a pregnant woman. If it continued, it could very well lead to depression.
And once that set in, it would be incredibly difficult to restore her to her previous state, especially given April’s status as an entertainer.
If she were to suffer from depression, the effects would be significant.
“Do you have any other treatment plan that can replace the current one? Your current plan hasn’t shown any significant results in the past two days,” Jane addressed the doctor.
The doctor was somewhat displeased by Jane’s questioning. To them, it was an academic exchange when a fellow doctor raised doubts. But when a patient did, it was an entirely different matter.
In small hospitals or private clinics, such questioning was acceptable, as the doctors’ skills might be lacking.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
But in a renowned hospital such as this one, Jane’s voice of inquiry made the doctor very unhappy.
“We have our own treatment plan and schedule. It’s beneficial for both the patients and us. We can take risks, but can the patient endure such risks?” responded Dr. Lott, a senior expert at the international hospital.
She understood these female patients and their feelings about their children.
So, for her, preserving the child and the mother simultaneously became her mission.
She hoped to satisfy everyone and send every patient home healed. But she could only produce the best plan by fully considering the patient’s symptoms and physical condition.
If she only thought about fulfilling her duties without considering the patient, then she wouldn’t be a qualified doctor.
“So, what shall we do? We can’t just watch my friend continue like this. If she keeps feeling down, there might be other consequences,” Jane asked, though not necessarily agreeing with the current treatment plan.
She believed there must be a better way. And if there wasn’t, she was prepared to take April to another hospital.
People are living beings, you can’t just stick to a hospital’s plan and sit back helplessly. You have to try other options.
Even though this hospital was well-known, and Jane’s own children were born here, it didn’t mean she had to blindly follow its every plan.
April’s poor mental state meant she couldn’t handle these matters. But that didn’t mean Jane wouldn’t step up. So she spoke her mind, which left Dr. Lott in a bind.
Because the formulation of the various treatment plans was entirely based on the actual circumstances.
Dr. Lott had observed April’s mental state and didn’t think it was too serious a problem.
“If it were up to my recommendation, I’d have you continue with this conservative treatment. It has the lowest risk and won’t cause any other deviations, albeit taking a little longer,” Dr. Lott suggested.
“But since you’re feeling anxious, changing the treatment plan is out of the question. I can offer you a suggestion, and it’s up to you whether to consider it.”
Dr. Lott didn’t want to take any risks, so her suggestion was also a conservative measure. After using it to ease April’s emotions, they could evaluate the situation.
