Chapter 559 - 560: Missed a Great Opportunity
The patient was in a car accident and suffered serious injuries, although not fatal, which is why the hospital did not rush to operate on the patient immediately. If it had been life-threatening, the hospital would not dare to prioritize money over treating the patient.
Song Xiaodong conducted an examination, and both Ellington and Xiang Te followed suit. The X-rays had been taken, and both frowned as they looked at the images.
Xiang Te said, "I think an amputation is necessary to save the patient’s life."
Ellington nodded and added, "With such injuries, the right leg is definitely beyond saving. If we don’t amputate, it will be even more difficult to manage."
He Wenbai asked softly, "Mr. Song, can the leg be saved?"
"It’s not a big problem," Song Xiaodong said calmly.
Ellington immediately frowned and said, "Mr. Song, you still want to save his leg in this condition? That’s too risky."
Xiang Te added, "Exactly, if the leg is saved, the patient’s life will be in grave danger. I suggest we amputate to save his life."
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "This is the miraculous aspect of our Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Ellington and Xiang Te were both sceptical, but He Wenbai and Lin Su’er, the two assistants, had already started preparations. They stopped talking, though deep down they were highly doubtful.
Next, Song Xiaodong began to work. The silver needles flew as True Qi surged within him, allowing him to manipulate the needles more skillfully than before. Continuous streams of True Qi flowed from his hands, through the silver needles, into the patient’s body, meticulously mending the internal injuries.
After a full hour, Song Xiaodong removed the needles. Not only did he not feel the usual fatigue, but he was also quite spirited. The True Qi from the second dose of medicine had not yet been fully used up, indicating just how potent the medicine was.
