All Karen could think of was to escape when she faced Pierre's questioning.
"Pierre, it's getting late. Get some rest. Trust me, I'll find you a good doctor to fix your leg." After that, she left the ward as though she was fleeing.
…
Downstairs, a nurse on duty was briefing the VIP ward nurse on Pierre’s condition, who had been transferred from the detainment ward.
After the VIP ward nurse learned about Pierre’s condition, she replied, "Alright, I've got the gist of it. But is there anything specific to take note of?"
"Yes, he can only sit or lie down. Try to keep him in bed as much as possible. Dr. Park said his leg won't recover easily, even with rehabilitation. So, we need to be careful. Who knows, the patient's recovery might improve later on,” said the nurse from downstairs.
"Yes, try to keep him in bed..." The VIP ward nurse glanced at the patient's name in the records. "His family name is Mallory. Could it be the legendary Mallory family?"
"That's right. He's the heir of the Mallory family. But, unfortunately, his leg is pretty much done for..." replied the nurse. As nurses, they did not really know much about Pierre's lifestyle. They were intrigued by Pierre's handsome appearance.
He was such a good-looking man, but he had a disabled leg. What a pity.
"Let me check the records." The VIP ward nurse looked at the documents and added, "Actually, complete recovery is not entirely impossible."
"That's what Dr. Park said,” added another nurse. The hospital staff believed in Dr. Park's assessments.
When Johann mentioned that the patient had a high probability of recovering to some extent, the patient would ultimately recover to that extent.
"Dr. Park didn't tell you another thing, though." The VIP ward nurse smiled and shook her head.
"What? Is there a chance for a full recovery?" The nurse, realizing the other two had to wrap up the medical records handover, began to quietly gossip under her breath.
"Don't you know we have a legendary figure on our floor?" The VIP ward nurse winked, glanced at her, and continued sorting the documents.
"Who? Is it Dr. Park? It can't be. Although Dr. Park is amazing, judging by your tone, I'm guessing it's not him,” replied the nurse.
"Indeed, it's not Dr. Park. We had a patient here who had a sudden hemorrhage in the pericardium. This genius decisively treated the patient, and she even treated his neurological diseases.
"Her dry needling skills are extraordinary. I heard Dr. Wood say that her dry needling methods are different from usual. She targets some really specific spots, not the usual traditional positions. But the results are excellent.
"Previously, another patient had movement problems due to brain damage, and she used her dry needling methods to treat the patient. According to Dr. Park, this patient is almost as good as a normal person.
"I think if this genius could perform dry needling on the second young master of the Mallory family, there might be a chance for him to recover to a normal state."
"That’s impressive!" The other nurse could not help but exclaim. "Why haven't I heard about this?"
"Dr. Park said that this person is not a doctor. If it's widely publicized, we’ll be putting her in a difficult position. She doesn't work as a doctor but a pharmaceutical professor,” explained the VIP ward nurse.
"She’s seriously awesome. If she could work at our hospital, she could help so many people." The nurse could not help but sigh.
"Alright, I’m just sharing the news with you. Her dry needling skills are indeed remarkable, and they're different from the traditional dry needling technique. She yields excellent results too.
"But it's just my speculation that she can treat the second young master of the Mallory family. Keep it to yourself. Don't spread it around. I'm afraid the head nurse will have a chat with me if this gets out,” warned the VIP ward nurse.
"Okay."
"I've double-checked the document, so there's no problem,” said the VIP ward nurse.
It was kind of surprising that even in this modern era, someone would openly pass along a check.
What was the point when she was only a nurse?
The nurse on duty had no idea about Karen's intentions. Thus, she found her behavior quite perplexing.
Karen intended to give the nurse a check to build a good relationship with her first. Then, she would ask the nurse for the information about the person skilled in dry needling.
However, since the nurse adamantly refused the check, Karen had no choice but to leave.
As she left, she noticed one of the surveillance cameras was pointing toward the nurse's station.
Suddenly, it dawned on Karen. That was how it was.
Medical staff were not allowed to accept gifts or money from family members. Karen was too anxious when she handed over the check to the nurse just now, assuming it would be fine since there were no other hospital staff around.
What she overlooked, though, was that hospitals were loaded with surveillance cameras.
Karen glanced back at the nurse on duty, noted her name, and took the elevator to leave.
The nurse on duty let out a sigh of relief only after watching Karen leave. She checked the time and figured the head nurse had probably not gone off duty yet. Hence, she took the initiative to report to her about what happened just now.
Even though she did not accept the check, there was surveillance as evidence. However, in situations like these, it would be better to report it voluntarily to avoid any future impact on her job.
After informing the head nurse, the nurse went back to organizing patient records without letting what happened with Karen bother her.
