Chapter 244
A hush fell over the ward as Cameron''s words echoed in the room.
Everyone was taken aback. Cameron had spoken with such authority, hitting the nail on the head
with each sentence and tossing numerous technical terms.
It was as if he was countering expertise with expertise.
"..." Mikel''s gaze flickered. Hisplexion turned sour. Cameron had hit the mark with everything
he said.
Mikel had always believed in his clinical experience of over a decade, confident that such a
misdiagnosis was impossible—especially since the patient was Tara''s grandfather.
He was eager to use this opportunity to get closer to Tara, almost wishing Dn had cancer. After a
brief clinical diagnosis and some imaging analysis, he was convinced it was cancer.
However, ording to Cameron, Dn was suffering from nodr hypersia caused by liver
toxicity. It was a condition often misdiagnosed as cancer in the medical field. If what he said was
true, this could tarnish Mikel’s lifelong reputation.
“So, everything Cameron said is true?”
Tara''s eyes were filled with deep anger as she turned to Mikel. She had trusted him so much, yet
seemed to disregard her grandfather''s life.

Mikel''s lips trembled as he hurriedly exined, “Dr. Smith, that''s not the case. Don''t listen to that
kid''s nonsense. I was very serious when diagnosing your grandfather!”
“So your idea of being “serious’ is making a diagnosis without even conducting an enhanced CT
scan or hemodialysis for my grandfather?” Tara''s eyes bore coldly into Mikel. “Is this how a cancer
specialist is supposed to act?”
“I...” Mikel was at a loss for words.
“Mr. Kennedy, if my grandfather was misdiagnosed because of your negligence, I''ll hold your
ountable!” Tara dered with a fierce expression.
Then, she turned to Cameron and softened her tone. “Cameron, my grandfather really doesn''t have
liver cancer, does he?”
She wasn''t an expert in oncology. She was just somewhat knowledgeable. Most of what she knew
came from professional doctors’ conclusions.
“Yes,” Cameron affirmed.
“Then why did the traditional medicines I initially used for liver cancer seem to alleviate my
grandfather''s symptoms?” Tara was puzzled.
“Because the ingredients you used, like Prune vulgaris and Cassia seed, have effects that cool the

liver and detoxify,” Cameron exined.

“But your grandfather''s liver toxicity is severe. Those two herbs alone won''t have much effect. The
misdiagnosis made his condition worse, rendering the slight medicinal effects insignificant.”
He added, “Dr. Smith, if you''re not convinced, you can take your grandfather for an enhanced CT
scan and hemodialysis. I''m sure the results will be revealed soon.
“I believe you, Cameron!” Tara''s eyes sparkled as she looked at him. “Can you cure my
grandfather?”

“Right now?”
“Well... A full treatment might take about a month. But after I administer acupuncture, your
grandfather should wake up.
“That''s wonderful! Please start treating my grandfather right away!”
Tara was trembling with excitement. She had never dreamed that her grandfather''s condition could
be cured. She had despaired and cried many times...
“Alright.” Cameron nodded. He took out the silver needles he carried with him and was ready to
perform bloodletting on Dn.
"Stop right there, kid!" Mikel suddenly shouted to stop Cameron.
“This is outrageous! Do you think this hospital is your private clinic where you can treat anyone you
like? And what''s this method? Silver needles? Are you treating him or trying to kill him?”
"Where''s security? Get him out of here now!”
Regardless of whether Cameron''s diagnosis was correct, Mikel''s reputation would be ruined if
Cameron somehow managed to cure Dn
He couldn''t let Cameron treat the patient or let Tara take Dn for an enhanced CT scan. If
sacrificing a patient or two could save his reputation, so be it.
