Chapter 17 - Chapter Sixteen

Prime Minister's POV

I quickly walked out of the room looking for doctor Alex and I bumped into a nurse coming in my direction.

"Where's doctor Alex?" I asked.

"He is already in the Operation Room, I was sent to inform you that he's starting the surgery" the nurse said.

"What! Anyway, thanks" I said and walked away.

What the hell is going on?

Who sent me that letter?

If anything happens to my daughter, I will ruin your life Alexander Sanchez.

Jasmine's POV

We all stood in front of the operation table ready to begin the surgery.

"How is the patient Susan?" Doc Alex asked.

"Her vitals are normal" Susan said.

"Have you lowered her breathing rate?" He asked.

"Not yet doctor but I will now" Susan said as she administered some injections to lower her breathing rate.

"And the blood supply?" Doc Alex.

"In place doctor" Susan replied.

"Let's begin then, Andrew" doc Alex called and Andrew quickly gave him a Scalpel.

He made and incision on the skin covering the skull and I quickly cleaned the blood.

Andrew gave him the cranial drill and he was drilling the skull and the monitors started beeping loudly while the patient was shaking vigorously.

"What's going on?" Andrew asked.

"The patient's vitals are dropping doctor, she's barely breathing" Susan said.

"Is it another seizure?" I asked.

"This is not a seizure, it's a heart attack" doctor Alex. "Increase the blood suppliment supply Susan."

"Done doctor" Susan said but it didn't help.

"The heparin injection, it stops heart attack, we should give her that" I said.

"Do we have heparin injection here?" Doctor Alex asked Andrew.

"No, I'll get it right away" he said as he removed his surgery coat and ran out of the Operation Room.

Prime Minister's POV

I waited outside the operation room as I continued pacing.

"The surgery must be successful. The surgery must be successful" I kept repeating.

Suddenly, the door to the operation room opened and one of doctors in Alex's surgery team came out and I quickly stopped him.

"What's going on? How's my daughter?" I asked.

"I am sorry Mr Prime Minister but please, if you want your daughter to live you will let me go right now, I need to get an injection for doctor Alex" he said and I let go of him.

I watched him as he ran.

Something must have gone wrong during the surgery.

The man ran back inside the operation room and I silently prayed.

Nothing must happen to my daughter.

Jasmine's POV

Andrew ran back into the Operation Room but he came back empty-handed.

"Where is the injection?" Doc Alex asked.

"The nurses said we are out of Heparin" Andrew said.

"What!" I exclaimed.

"How can the National hospital of London be out of Heparin!" Doc Alex yelled.

"I asked the nurses and they said it was remaining when they checked the stocks this morning but everything has suddenly disapeared" Andrew explained.

"Doctor" Susan called. "The patient's vitals are really low, if nothing is done within the next ten minutes, she will die."

Doctor Alex didn't say anything, he was obviously confused, I looked at his hands, they've started shaking again.

And then I remembered something.

"The drug I saw you taking when I came to your office, that was Lovenox right?" I asked.

"What?" He asked.

"The drug you quickly kept on the table when I came to your office, it's Lovenox isn't it?"

"Ummm... Yeah"

"The main component of Lovenox is heparin if we can give the drug to the patient, it should stop the heart attack" I said quickly.

"But you said it's a drug, the patient is unconscious, she won't be able to take any pills" Susan said.

"We can give her through the drip, we pound the pill, soak it in Propanolol, cause it calms the muscle and increase blood flow, then we inject it through the drip" doctor Alex quickly said and then looked at me. "The drug is on the table in my office, will you get it or should I go?"

"I'll go" I said as I quickly removed my operation coat and ran out of the Operation Room.

"Jasmine" the Prime Minister called and I stopped.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked.

"We'll explain later" I said and quickly ran to doctor Alex's office, I got the drugs from his table and ran back to the Operation Room.

I gave the drugs to Andrew and he pounded it and soaked it with Propanolol while I quickly wore back my surgery coat.

Doctor Alex took some of the solution with the injection needle and injected it on the patient's drip.

"What now?" I asked

"We wait a minute" doctor Alex said.

We waited and in just some moments, the patient stopped shaking.

"The vitals are coming back to normal" Susan announced and I sighed.

Thank God

Andrew gave doctor Alex the cranial drill and we continued the surgery.
