Chapter 997 A bunch of doctors and nurses were gathered around the sink in the hallway, stripping off their gloves and scrubbing their hands clean with soap, casually chatting away âMr Webb really drew the short straw christ helping Dr Yeager with one surgery and ham Whoâs going to take the hit?
âWell, who else but Mr Webb? After all, he was the one who performed the surgery âWell, even if thatâs the case. Dr. Yeager should take some of the heat, right?â
The head nurse glanced at the doctor who spoke, âWhoâs to blame isnât the pressing issue here. Whatâs important is that the deceasedâs family are convinced it was all Mr. Webbâs doingâ
The doctor paused in his hand washing looking up at the head nurse, âWhat do you mean?â
The head nurse looked around before leaning in to whisper, âDid you know the deceased was a world renowned medical expert? He had consulted Mr. Webb before and they had a few runâins over their medical philosophies. The expert stormed off after a heated argument and openly labelled Mr.
Webb as a quackâ
The doctor nodded in understanding. So, there was bad blood between the deceased and Mr. Webb. No wonder the familyâs pointing fingers at himâ
Another doctor nearby chimed in, âMr Webb isnât the type to hold a grudge. He wouldnât intentionally harm a patient over such a petty disagreement.
He might have even forgotten about the whole thing. Otherwise, he would have refused to assist Dr. Yeager with the surgery.â
The doctor at the head of the sink turned to them, âTalking about it now is pointless The family is clinging onto their conspiracy theory. Even with a mouthful of excuses, Mr Webb wouldnât be able to clear his name The head nurse asked, âWhat does the hospital administration say?â
âTheyâre still in a meeting. Not sure what theyâre going to decideâ
The doctor who mentioned the bad blood between Mr. Webb and the deceased spoke up again, âMy guess is theyâre going to throw Mr. Webb under the bus. The patient was clearly out to get Mr Webb. The hospital administration wouldnât want to drag another excellent doctor into this. The damage is already done, and for the hospitalâs reputation, sacrificing one doctor seems like their safest bet...â
The chatter of these doctors and nurses reached the ears of Mr Webb He was leaning against the sink on the other side, concealed from view by the large basin. No one noticed him there.
Yeager opened the door to the surgery corridor and found Mr. Webb huddled up in the corner, looking lost.
âMr. Webbâ
Yeagerâs voice surprised the doctors and nurses, who seemed not to have expected him to be present. They quickly washed their hands and left the room.
Yeager glanced at them and then shifted his gaze to Mr. Webb âMr. Webb, I truly had no idea that the surgery would go wrong. Otherwise, I wouldnât have asked for your help, and now youâre being affected by this.
I am sincerely sorryâ
Will remained silent, his eyes fixed on the distance, lost in deep thought as he tried to figure out where the problem lay Observing this, Yeager bent down and sat on the floor beside Will âMr. Webb, the patient was of advanced age, and this type of surgery already carries inherent risks. You shouldnât blame yourself excessivelyâ
Finally, Will looked up, turning his face to Yeager sitting next to him.
âDr Yeager, apart from cardiovascular issues, does the patient have any other underlying conditions that were not detected during routine examinations?â
Yeager lowered his head, pondering for a moment, and then shook his head gently.
âWhat about the autopsy results? Did the medical examiner have any opinions?â
âThe forensic examination also showed no problems...â
Will stared at his blood stained hands in disbelief.
âDid I really mess up...
Seeing Will doubt himself, Yeager hastily patted his shoulder âMr Webb, itâs not about your judgement its because the patient was too old to withstand the surgeryâ
Will shook his head.

âThe surgery failed, and I cannot blame the patient. Itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have ignored your advice and performed the procedure on a major blood vessel...â
He had only wanted to help the patient by eliminating their suffering from the illness after the surgery, but he never expected such an accident to occur Seeing him burdened with seFlame, Yeager felt a sense of quilt and patted his shoulder again.
âMr Webb, this patient was originally under my care, and you were just assisting in the surgery. All the responsibility lies with me, and it has nothing to do with you.â
After saying that, yeager took a deep breath and made a solemn promise.
âPlease rest assured that I will explain everything to the hospital management and the patientâs familyâ
As he was about to leave, Will stopped tum âThe family already believes it was intentional retaliation on my part. If you take responsibility now, it will only implicate you and wonât make any difference. Besides, I donât care about the blame, what I care about is that because of my mistake, someoneâs life ended.â
Yeager wanted to say something, but Will raised his hand to stop him âDr. Yeager, youâre excellent, and you will undoubtedly make great achievements in the medical field. Donât let this incident tarnish your reputation, let me face it aloneâ
Willâs ethics and character made Yeager feel ashamed, and he looked up.
âMr. Webb, the Nobel Prize in Medicine is crucial to you Iâm sorry
