The department's doctors understood and agreed with Director Duan's decision.
"Ma'am, have you decided on the surgical plan?"
Dr. Du began the standard procedure.
If no family members had been present, they could have followed protocol, gotten the hospital's signed approval, and proceeded with life-saving measures.
However, if a family member was present and refused to sign for the surgery, the hospital had no choice but to respect their wishes.
Li Zhaodi simply didn't believe Director Duan could be so heartless. For years, she and her brother had known his limits; if they made enough of a scene, they could always get the money they wanted out of him.
Besides, the expert's fee was only forty thousand. He, Duan Xingping, certainly wasn't short on that kind of money.
Li Zhaodi was confident she had Director Duan wrapped around her finger.
"Duan Xingping, I'm ordering you to go pay that fee right now and get Director You over here... Otherwise, we're through..."
