Chapter 593: Only a Three Percent Chance, Risk of Hemiplegia Remaining
Sadam Vinson and the Wilmar Family were distant relatives, and the two families had always kept in touch, so he rushed over here right after he got off the airplane without even returning home.
But he personally wasn’t very interested in the matter; it was normal for the elderly to be in poor health and fall ill as they aged.
The Vinson Family didn’t want to fish for benefits in these muddy waters, nor were they willing to take sides, so there was naturally no warmth there.
However, Govert Griffin wanted to ask Caryn Zachmann for some information, and Sadam didn’t mind listening, considering the patient was an elder, and it wasn’t that he was entirely unconcerned.
Caryn had just arrived with Professor Adelle’s team not long before, and when Govert Griffin called out to her, she was about to head to the inner courtyard.
Seeing Govert Griffin and Sadam Vinson, she reluctantly stopped in her tracks and roughly revealed some of the situation inside.
"Mr. Wilmar’s condition is not good, he showed signs of unconsciousness again half an hour ago, and now when people call him, he doesn’t respond much, only occasionally acknowledging them, clearly not lucid..."
The Wilmar Family kept Mr. Wilmar’s illness very confidential, with few people in the know. Hearing her speak so somberly, Govert Griffin said with a shocked face, "Is it that serious?"
Caryn came with Professor Adelle’s team, and at this moment she was also the center of everyone’s attention. She nodded her head, and although Govert Griffin was the one asking, she lifted her gaze to Sadam Vinson and said, "Anyway, Mr. Wilmar’s current illness is very dangerous, probably a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a stroke. A hematoma has formed inside the skull; surgery must be performed immediately."
Sadam, who was still half-asleep with his eyelids almost glued shut, now woke up completely, furrowed his brows, and asked her in a low voice, "What are the chances of success?"
Caryn knew he was asking about the odds of the surgery’s success. After thinking for a moment, she held up three fingers, "Thirty percent."
"That low?" Sadam couldn’t help but reveal his surprise.
She pursed her lips, her gaze proud, and said softly, "That’s if we operate immediately. My tutor said, with thirty percent chances, the patient might still end up with hemiplegia. At this point, Mr. Wilmar Junior stubbornly refuses to let us perform the surgery, claiming that the risks of the operation are too high. He’s worried that the old man won’t endure it and insists on waiting for someone he firmly believes might have a way to cure him without surgery."
As Caryn spoke, a faint contempt could be heard in her tone. She continued disdainfully, "Strokes have always only been resolved through surgery; I haven’t heard of any method that can cure it without surgery. He’s a layman, maybe he’s being deceived! There’s no one in the country more skilled than my tutor in neurosurgery. By dragging this out, he is only delaying Mr. Wilmar’s treatment and making the situation worse!"
Govert Griffin nodded, convinced, and said, "Indeed, there’s no doctor in the country more professional than Professor Adelle Wafford in the field of neurosurgery..."
Caryn, as one of Professor Adelle’s direct disciples, heard this response and did not speak, but the expression on her face revealed her pride.
Sadam glanced at her once and did not argue.
Professor Adelle was indeed very good in the field of neurosurgery, with few in China able to match her. Mr. Avalon might be on par, but he had long since stopped practicing, and another reason... After all, Mr. Avalon was a master of Chinese Medicine, no matter how skilled, when it came to life-saving moments, it was incomparable to Western medicine!
He had heard that to secure Professor Adelle’s involvement, Raymond Wilmar had paid a significant price, agreeing to provide financial support for her research project this year.
In the past, Professor Adelle’s research projects were always funded by the Pinecone Group, but this year, for some reason, the Pinecone Group abruptly rejected Professor Adelle’s team’s project proposal and chose another medical research project, causing quite a stir in the medical community.
If Professor Adelle hadn’t been short of funds, she probably wouldn’t have dared to take on Mr. Wilmar’s dangerous surgery. After all, if anything went wrong, it could ruin her own reputation!
