Chapter 793

Sienna was an actress on the rise. She couldn’t bear the thought of her career ending like this.

No one wanted to spend the rest of their life trapped in a bed.

“Let me review your charts first.”

Mary didn’t rush to conclusions.

After carefully reading through the medical records, she performed a physical examination on Sienna.

“You definitely need another surgery, followed by rigorous physical therapy.”

“As for how much mobility you’ll regain, I can’t make any guarantees.”

“But if you incorporate alternative medicine techniques into your rehab, the results will be much better.”

Mary was one of the nation’s premier surgical experts. If she suggested it, she was confident in her abilities.

But the lack of a concrete guarantee meant the risks were still staggeringly high. Sienna hesitated.

Karla stepped in. “Dr. Mary, given the current medical standards here, is Sienna really at a high risk of permanent paralysis?”

Mary nodded. “Yes. The success rate for her surgery is extremely low. Spinal injuries are always highly volatile.”

“What if we go abroad…”

Karla desperately wanted Sienna to make a full recovery.

It wasn’t just because she was losing her biggest cash cow.

It was because her heart truly ached for Sienna.

“Medical technology abroad is certainly advanced, especially their equipment, which outpaces ours in some areas.”

“However, this surgery carries the same massive risks no matter where it’s performed.”

Mary’s surgical skills were easily on par with the most renowned international doctors.

She had even been invited to consult on high-stakes surgeries overseas.

But the wealthy always seemed to prefer flying out of the country for procedures, assuming the overall medical infrastructure was superior.

Karla had already pulled some strings to inquire about top-tier international surgeons, specifically orthopedic specialists.

The response she got was completely unexpected.

A world-renowned surgeon actually knew Mary by name.

He stated that if Mary was handling Sienna’s surgery, his involvement wouldn’t be necessary at all.

“Mary is brilliant. I’ve had the honor of working alongside her.”

The foreign specialist had nothing but the highest praise for her.

“Karla, I’ve decided. I want Dr. Mary to perform the surgery.”

Hearing that even a top global expert commended Mary’s skills, Sienna made her choice.

“Alright, I’ll get everything arranged.”

Mary didn’t agree to the surgery just because of Claire; she took the case

because there was hardly anyone

pull it

else in the country who com off.

If she walked away, this beautiful young woman would likely spend the rest of her life paralyzed.

Once again, Mary requested Claire as her assistant, while Dr. Duncan fiercely competed for the secondary assistant role and won.

Every surgeon in the orthopedic department was eager to observe the procedure.

Naturally, Mary wasn’t going to let a crowd of doctors cram into the operating room.

Besides, the patient was a massive celebrity. A single mistake leading to a medical malpractice scandale

would end a surgeon’s career avernight

The influence of a superstar was terrifying.

Let alone the fact that Sienna was an award-winning actress.

On the flip side, successfully participating in this surgery was a golden ticket to

overnight fame in the medical community.

The other orthopedic doctors looked at Dr. Duncan with intense jealousy.

In truth, this surgery wasn’t quite as precarious as saving Lance.

Lance had been on the verge of death, whereas the worst-case scenario here was paralysis.

Mary wasn’t a hundred percent certain of the outcome; she could only promise to do her absolute best.

The grueling procedure lasted six hours.

Fortunately, Mary handled the entire operation seamlessly, never needing Claire to step in and save the day.

Dr. Duncan absorbed an incredible amount of knowledge just by watching.

As the surgery wrapped up, Dr.

Duncan sighed in awe. “Thank God

Dr. Mary took this case. If it had

been.me,

been me, I definitely would have messed up.”
