The Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center.
The sun was shining brightly in the meeting room.
Fresh wind blew in through the two open windows.
The morning light was soft, and it felt like a beautiful woman's chiffon was caressing, and people had the urge to grab it.
Everything seemed to be beautiful, except for Damon's collapsed face and exaggerated tears.
The Chinese often heard the phrase 'two lines of tears', but not everyone had seen two lines of tears appear on a person's face.
The doctors in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center were experienced and knowledgeable, but when they saw Damon, a White South African, crying non-stop, they were still a little surprised.
There was already a small pool of water on the coffee table in front of him, as if someone had spilled the tea.
"I'm … sorry … I really can't help it … Doctor Morris … Sob … Burp …" Damon cried so much that he was about to convulse.
Doctor Morris comforted him a little awkwardly, "Damon, Damon, it's okay. Don't worry, everything is under control …"
"I … I know. I just couldn't help it …" Damon wiped away his tears and shook them off. There were really sparkling teardrops that fell to the ground like water droplets, forming eight petals.
"Damon, it's just a simple surgery …"
"I know … sob sob …"
"This is the world's top Achilles tendon repair team. It's a happy thing that you can get the best treatment …"
"I know … sob …"
"Damon, surgical treatment is the best plan. You're willing to undergo surgery, right?"
"Yes … I'm willing … Hiss …"
The Chinese doctors in the room looked at each other. If it was funny to see this well-proportioned and muscular Caucasian athlete crying at the beginning, then it was a little troublesome now.
He was crying almost all the time.
"Damon, do you feel any pain?" Ji Tianlu asked.
The interpreter said it, and then he translated Damon's words, "I don't feel pain, I just … I don't know …"
"Can we start?" Ling Ran sat for more than ten minutes. Although he saw a miracle in anthropology, he was still … very bored.
Damon raised his head in a daze and looked at Ling Ran. Then, he started crying again.
"This is your MRI scan." Ling Ran had his own way of doing things, and he was very immune to tears. Some men might be easily controlled by a woman's tears, but Ling Ran would not.
He had seen with his own eyes how his father, Ling Jiezhou, was willingly controlled by Tao Ping's tears.
As for a man's tears, they were even less valuable.
Ling Ran tapped on the glowing panel with the intention to highlight the key points and said, "Since we're going to do a preoperative analysis, let's start."
The medical records in the country all had content such as preoperative discussion, preoperative analysis, or preoperative consultation. However, there were not many hospitals that followed it, especially when it came to the main surgical methods. They were often operated according to the standard plan, and there was no meaning or value in further analysis and discussion.
The few cases that required preoperative discussion usually represented complicated conditions and huge risks.
The preoperative analysis of Damon's Achilles tendon repair technique was because he came from abroad.
Ling Ran did not have that many surgeries to do, so he did not object to it. He just urged Ji Tianlu to do it out of boredom.
Ji Tianlu glanced at Damon. He also felt that it was a little difficult to appease him in a short period of time, so he said, "Then let's start. Ling Ran, you also have to pay attention. We're not having an internal discussion today. More importantly, we have to introduce the situation to Mister Damon and Mister Morris, explain our surgical plan, and get their approval."
Zhu Tongyi listened and nodded. He sat in the main seat like an old man and said, "We can only carry out the surgery after we get their approval. This is the minimum requirement."
Although they did not know each other for a long time, Zhu Tongyi understood Ling Ran quite well.
He knew that Ling Ran would only be serious when it came to surgery, and only then would he use his brain to think. At other times, his brain would not be excited enough.
Ling Ran heard the main point of Zhu Tongyi's explanation. He touched his chin and said, "I usually let Lu Wenbin sign the informed consent form."
He turned his gaze to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan showed an awkward but polite smile, and she pushed her black-rimmed glasses up with her hand.
"Sob sob …" Damon's tears did not stop flowing. After some sound effects were added, he became the center of attention again.
"Damon!" Doctor Morris showed an inquiring expression.
Damon whimpered and said, "He just said that my MRI …"
"There's no problem with your MRI." This time, Ling Ran understood. He spoke in English and said in Mandarin, "What we need to consider now is the details."
"What's the problem?" Damon naturally asked.
"First, the suture method. Do we need to strengthen it?" Ling Ran pointed at the fracture on the MRI scan and said, "The advantage of strengthening it is that the suture is firm, but it may cause secondary damage and delay the recovery."
"Firm, or affect the recovery?" Damon repeated, and the tears on his cheeks became thicker.
Doctor Morris coughed a few times and said, "What's the possibility of secondary damage? How long will the recovery be delayed? "
Everyone looked at Ling Ran. This was obviously a key problem, but among all the people present, only Ling Ran had actually performed Plan A.
Ling Ran pondered and said, "I don't know."
"NOOO?" Damon howled with an exaggerated expression.
"I don't know." Ling Ran said with certainty, "My patients have not suffered secondary damage because of strengthening the suture, and their recovery time has not been delayed. But the sample size is too small, I can't say that the probability is zero."
The group of people listened to the translation and looked at each other.
Damon stopped crying and said, "What about my surgery?"
Ling Ran put on a straight face and said, "There are still risks."
Damon looked at Doctor Morris pitifully.
Doctor Morris nodded slightly and said, "I still recommend strengthening the suture, but the choice is yours."
Damon wiped his tears. "Then, I'll use strengthening the suture."
"Okay. But I have to tell you in advance, if I find that your Achilles tendon is not suitable for strengthening the suture during the surgery, I will use other suture methods. "Ling Ran put on a straight face. He was not as amiable as other doctors.
Damon's confidence in Ling Ran increased. He squeezed his eyes, and a few more tears flowed out. He said, "As long as my Achilles tendon can be cured, I'll do anything."
"I understand. Wipe your tears." Ling Ran felt uncomfortable when he saw Damon. He passed a tissue to Damon.
"I naturally like to cry." Damon took the tissue, wiped his tears, and blew his nose.
Ling Ran said helplessly, "You can go to the ophthalmology department later."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Ling."
As soon as Damon finished speaking, a crisp "ding" was heard.
A treasure chest appeared in front of Ling Ran, and it was accompanied by a notification of "Sincere Gratitude".
Ling Ran could not help but be stunned.
'There's a "Sincere Gratitude" just like that?
Is this … a big red packet before the surgery? Are the South African people really so … polite?
And it's a red packet that people can't refuse!
Ling Ran subconsciously opened the Basic Treasure Chest in front of him. He saw a flash of brilliance, and a bottle …
No, it was a Skill Book that appeared.
[Local Anatomical Dissection Experience: Obtained 100 dissections of the feet.]
Ling Ran waved his hand and used the Local Anatomical Dissection Experience Book. He also took the opportunity to look at Damon's left foot.
He had once obtained the experience of dissecting three thousand upper limbs from an Intermediate Treasure Chest. Compared to one hundred dissections of the feet, the number of dissections he obtained was thirty times more, and the range of dissections was also a few times larger.
Even so, the experience of dissecting the feet one hundred times was extremely rare in this era.
Doctors who did not specialize in research, did not have a large project team, and did not have the support of a good platform would find it difficult to obtain one hundred cadavers. It was also very difficult for them to just dissect the feet.
Ling Ran could not help but take a deep look at Damon. It should be said that this was the easiest "Sincere Gratitude" he had ever obtained. Besides, the item he obtained was just right for this surgery.
