Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

482 The Simulated Surgery

With his eyes locked on Anna, Dr. Cooper noticed that in contrast to the male doctor's excitement, she looked rather calm. She was so sensible that it was difficult for him to believe she was only in her early thirties.

"To be honest, I didn’t think you would make such a decision," Dr. Cooper said as he removed his silver-framed glasses. His glasses smacked against the desk, and the sound echoed down the hall through the microphone.

The male doctor stood up again and said aggressively while Cooper rubbed his brow to calm himself, "It is possible to save two people if perform two surgeries simultaneously. Although there may be unforeseeable outcomes, it is better than giving up on the other patient."

The man's demeanor was hostile. He noticed that Dr. Cooper appeared upset, so he decided to take advantage of the situation. Everyone present could tell that he was desperate to win.

Anna seemed to anticipate his question and didn't want to pay attention to him. But she couldn't help but frown because he seemed so confident and arrogant. In a mocking way, Anna put her hands into the pockets of her white coat and said to competitor No. 3, "Do you genuinely want to save lives, or are you taking advantage of this opportunity to build your reputation? Are you now trying to refute my viewpoint on an academic level, or are you trying to use me to improve your personal image? If the second possibility is the case, sorry, but | believe you have chosen the wrong profession. You are not qualified to be a doctor because you are an opportunist.” 481 The Simulated Surgery: ol Anna sat down quietly after she said that. The man took a long time to understand what she was saying, and then he glared at her angrily. Cooper calmed down and put an end to their argument. He put on his glasses and looked at Anna, saying, "I'd like to tell you about the decision | made at the time. In fact, | chose to perform two surgeries at the same time." His words sparked another round of discussion in the audience. The male doctor raised his chin and seemed keen on seeing Anna humiliated. Then, Dr. Cooper said something unexpected, "I knew the little girl had liver damage and blood in her lungs. However, the woman's i
