Tanti sat with Mr. Surya's family in a quiet room in the hospital. The room was decorated with a beautiful garden view through a large window. The fresh air from the outside cools the atmosphere, but the tension is felt in the air.
Mr. Surya's mother, Mrs Wati, sat across the table from Tanti with a face full of worry. Pak Surya's son, Budi, sat beside him with a face that was also tense. They look anxious and hesitant.
Tanti started the conversation gently. "I have great respect for your decision on this matter. We understand that faith is very important. However, let's talk more about this operation."
Madam Wati looked at Tanti with expectant eyes. "We are very worried about what would happen if my husband had this surgery. He was sure that this would interfere with his relationship with God."
Tanti nodded in understanding. "I fully understand that concern, Mrs Wati. Surgery does have risks, but I also want to explain how critical your husband is right now. If we don't perform the operation, the risk faced by it is also very high."
Budi spoke in a trembling voice, "We're afraid that if dad had the surgery, everything we had would be ruined."
Tanti replied empathetically, "I understand your fear, Budi. However, I want you to know that we will do everything we can to minimize the risks of this operation. Our medical team is very experienced in dealing with cases like this."
They continued the conversation with Tanti explaining in detail the surgical procedure and how the medical team would supervise Ms Wati's husband during the operation. She also explained the possible benefits of this surgery, which is to allow Ms Wati's husband to fully recover and lead a healthy life.
Madam Wati looked doubtful, but there was doubt in her eyes. "Do we have to ask a religious leader's opinion on this?"
Tanti answered wisely, "It was a good idea, Madam Wati. We will greatly respect the advice of your religious leaders. We want you to feel comfortable with this decision."
After a moment of conversation, Mr. Surya's family agreed to meet with their religious leaders and discuss this decision further. They were relieved that Tanti and the medical team were willing to listen and give a deep explanation.
Tanti left Pak Surya's family with a sense of relief because they were willing to reconsider their decision. He knew that this process would take time, but he felt that he had done his best for the patient and his family.
For days, Mr. Surya's family talked to their religious leaders and gathered advice from people they trusted. They eventually reach a mutual decision that an operation must be performed to save their husband and father.
Tanti and the medical team immediately prepare for the operation with great care. During the surgery process, they try their best to minimize the risk and ensure that Mrs Wati's husband gets the best care possible.
The operation proceeded successfully, despite tensions and concerns throughout the process. When Mrs Wati's husband began to recover, they felt grateful that they had chosen to continue the operation.
Tanti visited Pak Surya's family in the patient room after the operation was completed. They smile with relief when they see their husband and father conscious and in a stable state. It was a moment of great happiness for everyone.
Mrs Wati sincerely thanked Tanti and the medical team. "We will never be able to replace what you have done for my husband. We are so grateful."
Tanti smiled and nodded. "This is teamwork, Mrs Wati. And most importantly, your husband is now in better shape."
Facing this moral dilemma, Tanti and the medical team managed to reach a solution that respected the patient's beliefs while also prioritizing his safety and health. It was a profound experience for Tanti and reminded her of the importance of ethics and empathy in her medical practice.
The operation was carried out on a clear and quiet morning. Tanti leads her medical team carefully, ensuring that everything goes according to plan. They have planned this operation carefully and made sure that they have all the necessary equipment and team.
Outside the operating room, the patient's family sits together, full of worries and expectations. Madam Wati held her husband's hand tightly, while Budi sat next to her, his face pale.
Madam Wati looked towards the operating room door with an agitated look. "May the operation go well, O Allah."
Inside the operating room, Tanti and her team worked carefully. They face complicated conditions, but the passion to save patients is the strongest. Tanti spoke to her team members in a calm voice, gave clear instructions and made sure everything went smoothly.
The operation lasted for several tense hours. Outside, the patient's family waited with great uncertainty. They prayed and were patient, hoping to hear the good news.
Finally, the door of the operating room opened, and Tanti came out with a gentle smile on her face. Families of patients stood up quickly, their eyes looking for signs of successful surgery.
Tanti approached them with a feeling of relief. "The operation went well. We managed to overcome all the problems we faced. Your husband is in recovery."
Madam Wati almost cried from happiness. "Thank you, Doctor Tanti. You've saved my husband."
He also smiled with relief. "We are so grateful to you and the medical team."
Tanti nodded. "This is teamwork, Mrs Wati. We'll keep an eye on your husband during his recovery process."
Over the next few days, the patient continued to make a good recovery. Tanti and her medical team provide the best care and ensure that all processes go well. The patient's family is always there to support her husband, and they feel very grateful for the decision they made.
A few weeks later, Mrs Wati's husband was finally allowed to return home. Tanti talks to the patient's family about the care they should take during the recovery period. They listened carefully and promised to take good care of her husband.
Tanti smiled when she saw the patient's family departing from the hospital with a feeling of relief. They have gone through difficult times and finally made the right decision to save the lives of their husbands and fathers.
This experience reminded Tanti of the complexities in medicine, where she had to face various moral and ethical dilemmas. However, he also realized that the most important decisions were the best for patients and their safety. It was a valuable lesson that would guide him in his long medical career.
After a month had passed since the successful operation of the middle-aged patient, Tanti sat on her porch. The sun sets in the sky, creating a soothing twilight colour. He was pondering about the journey he had just gone through in his medical career. The patient's surgery presents him with a complex ethical dilemma, and it's an experience that will stick in his memory forever.
Rudi, Tanti's father, came to him with a cup of warm tea. "How are you feeling, son?" asked Rudi, thrusting the teacup to Tanti.
Tanti received the cup with a small smile. "I still look at him, Dad. It was a very meaningful experience for me. I know that the surgery was successful and the patient will be fine, but I still feel heavy-hearted with all the decisions to be taken."
Rudi sat down next to him and grabbed his hand. "I understand, Son. As a doctor, we have to deal with many such difficult situations. In some cases, we have to deal with difficult and profound decisions."
Tanti nodded. "I also spoke to the patient's family, Dad. They said they felt grateful for our decision. But those are the times when beliefs and ethics come into contact, and I just want to do my best."
Rudi smiled gently. "You did your best, son. You listen to the patient and his family, and you also follow the correct medical principles. It was a very difficult task, but you dealt with it well."
Tanti took a deep breath. "I thank you, Father, for giving me guidance and support during this process. I feel lucky to have a father who is an experienced doctor."
Rudi nodded. "It's my responsibility as a father and a doctor. I'm always ready to support you at your every step in this medical world."
They sat together on the porch, enjoying the quiet twilight. Tanti is relieved that she has a family that is always there for her, especially when she is faced with a tough challenge in her medical profession.
In the end, he knew that being a doctor was more than just science and medical skills. It is also about empathy, ethics, and the ability to listen and respect patient decisions. And with the support of her family, Tanti is ready to face any challenges that will come in her brilliant career.
