Episode 28 recap: The head nurse faced a dilemma.
The head nurse was deeply saddened. She felt that this child had been in her body for five months, and she could feel his presence. Lin Yi questioned why they had to bring the child into the world when they knew there were problems. The child would not be able to live a normal life and would develop a low self-esteem. The head nurse thought that giving birth to the child was a noble act, but she hadn't considered whether the child would actually want to be born.
The head nurse was also aware of the current situation and knew that the child would face many challenges after birth, with no guarantee of a cure. After much consideration, the head nurse decided to terminate the pregnancy. Zhou Xiao Feng learned about this and went to see the head nurse. The head nurse had planned to terminate the pregnancy, but when she felt the baby move, she couldn't bear to go through with it and wanted to think it over again.
Zhou Xiao Feng messaged Fang Zhu Qing for advice. They met, and Fang Zhu Qing told Zhou Xiao Feng about an intrauterine intervention surgery. He knew a gynecologist named Xue Zhu Ren who could perform the procedure. However, the surgery carried significant risks, and if any complications arose, both the mother and the baby could be in danger.
Zhou Xiao Feng was unsure whether to tell the head nurse or not. He believed that the head nurse, in her current state, would be willing to try any glimmer of hope. Mothers always found it difficult to let go of their children. After Zhou Xiao Feng finished speaking, both of them felt a sense of awkwardness. After finishing work, Lin Yi encountered the elder brother in the community, who seemed to be in good spirits.
Early in the morning, Xiao Rui called Lin Yi and informed her that their father had fainted. Lin Yi rushed over to check on him and woke up the elder brother. The elder brother claimed that he had merely fallen asleep. Zhou Xiao Feng discussed this matter with Fang Xiao Ran and felt that it would be inappropriate to tell the head nurse directly. It would be better to first consult with Director Zhao. If they had to disclose the information, it should be Director Zhao who informed the head nurse.
Director Zhao learned about the situation and decided against it. He believed that sacrificing one's wife for the sake of the child was not worth it. Fang Xiao Ran searched for information and found out that there was a chief sonographer at Xi Li Hospital. He asked Lin Yi if she knew the person. Lin Yi acknowledged that she knew about the head nurse's situation but strongly disagreed with letting the child be born. She believed that the child would face life-threatening risks from the moment of birth, and even if the child was born, it would be an endless cycle of medical treatment and surgeries.
Fang Xiao Ran felt that Lin Yi had changed as a person. Previously, Lin Yi had been dedicated to saving lives, but now he seemed different. Lin Yi replied that those were all adults. Without further explanation, Lin Yi left. Cai Yun came to the outpatient department for medical treatment, accompanied by Dr. Qu from their county. Cai Yun had Tetralogy of Fallot and had already undergone three surgeries. Since Cai Yun was now an adult, they couldn't receive treatment in the pediatric department, and the provincial hospital didn't have the resources for this condition. They had finally ended up at Dongli Hospital.
Zhou Xiao Feng believed that the conditions there weren't ideal, and they should go to the pediatric department instead. Dr. Qu mentioned that pediatric treatment wouldn't be covered by medical insurance and briefly explained Cai Yun's family situation. Zhou Xiao Feng arranged for Cai Yun to be admitted to the hospital, and they would discuss the specific surgical plan later.
Cai Yun's situation was very complex, and both the surgical and medical departments faced challenges. Lin Yi brought up the situation faced by children with congenital heart disease once again, and Director Zhao fell into contemplation. The head nurse also researched a lot of information and learned about intrauterine intervention surgery, so she came to inquire with Director Bai. The head nurse discussed with Zhou Xiao Feng and others, only to find out that they were already aware of this method. She asked Director Zhao why he didn't inform her, and he replied that he didn't want the head nurse to take risks.
The head nurse was deeply saddened. She felt that this child had been in her body for five months, and she could feel his presence. Lin Yi questioned why they had to bring the child into the world when they knew there were problems. The child would not be able to live a normal life and would develop a low self-esteem. The head nurse thought that giving birth to the child was a noble act, but she hadn't considered whether the child would actually want to be born.
Zhou Xiao Feng called Lin Yi aside, feeling that she shouldn't say so much. He believed that she had personal emotions involved and had crossed a line. Lin Yi argued that Zhou Xiao Feng also had personal emotions involved in wanting the child to be born. The two of them parted ways on unfriendly terms.
