Nihan moved toward the patient. Dr Harshad stopped her as he understood things in advance.
"No Dr. Nihan, you can't do it."
"Why can't I?" She asked angrily.
"Come on Nihan, you can't talk like you don't know. We are not allowed to do this. He is not an ordinary person. He is a VIP. If anything happens to him, our career is over"
"Yes Nihan, Dr. Harshad is right. As per our hospital ethics, we can't handle this." Mira agreed with him.
"I don't care.. As a doctor, Neither hospital ethics nor VIP status can affect me. For me, lying in front of me is just a patient who believes in us and fights for life. " Nihan got angry as she said it.
"But Nihan... We have never done such a risky operation without a supervisor before.. this is your first time.." There was a great deal of frustration on Dr Harshad's face.
"So what?? I can give my best.. maybe the chances of success will be less.. But there is a huge difference between the failure without doing anything and the belief that we did our best to save him." Nihan said.
"But still Nihan, First, it has to get permission from the chairman. "
"And he will never allow this, am I right Dr. Harshad?" Dr harshad didn't answer her question. He bowed his head in guilt.
"We have no time for this useless talks.. if you want, you can go out.." Nihan ordered in a firm tone. And he was completely convinced that he had nothing else to say. He walked out of the operation theatre in desperation.
"If anyone want to accompany him, you can go too... I will take the whole responsibility here." Nihan said. No one answered for a while.
At the same time, as someone suggested, two men came and took the lifeless body of Dr. Barish khan on a stretcher and went back.
Nihan restarted the surgery. She took out the heart from the old man and put the donor heart inside his open body. Her hands trembled for the first time. She raised her eyes and looked at Mira. Mira added courage to her thoughts through her glance.
The next moment Nihan regained her balance. She sewed blood vessels with great care so that the leaks could not come. The new heart is now completely connected to that body.
Until then, blood circulation was aided by a bypass machine. She made it clear that the heart had started to handle itself completely and she had to remove the tubes connected to the machine. Now, the new heart needs to be given life. She took the small paddle and began to shock his heart.
Nihan and her team started this with expectations filled in their eyes and heart. Soon it turned into despiration. The heart did not respond despite the shock of two, three and four times. Sweat dripped down her forehead as she stood in the frozen room. She kept repeating the action over and over again Until Mira blocked it with a scream.
"Stop it Nihan.. it's over.. everything is over now."
But Nihan's gaze still stared at the old man's sleeping face. At that time, she felt a deep love and affection for the man. Like the mind is trying to say something. But as the words are ended completely.
Mira covered his head with a white blanket and rubbed her shoulders, then walked towards the door. At the same time, Nihan noticed that the Heartrate began to become normal on the monitor.
"Mira... Stop" she shouted. Mira's eyes widened as she turned.
"We did it" Nihan started crying as she said it. Nihan hugged her tightly and wept with happiness.
