Su Xiao looked at the prescription in her hand, extremely excited.
This is a treatment plan specifically for patients in a vegetative state, which includes acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine.
This prescription is a godsend. Shang Ziming has been in a coma for more than half a month. If we don't find a way to wake him up, he may be diagnosed as a vegetable.
"Shang Zimu, you will definitely get better, don't give up."
Having received the prescription, Su Xiao felt a surge of hope and wanted to share it with him to encourage him. She just didn't know if he could hear her.
Su Xiao held Shang Ziming's hand and lay by his bedside, half-asleep and half-awake, for the entire night.
As dawn broke, rustling sounds could be heard in the hospital corridors; it was the cleaning staff tidying up.
Before anyone arrived, Su Xiao slipped into her spatial dimension to wash up.
The landscape has changed dramatically. The river water that was once collected in the well now nourishes the entire land, making it fertile and allowing fruit trees, herbs, and vegetables to grow abundantly.
The transplanted fruit trees are growing very well, and several of them have already blossomed and borne fruit. Even the loquat pits that were thrown away have sprouted into seedlings, which are growing very well.
In the kitchen, a pot of white porridge was cooked. Soon, the aroma filled the air. Su Xiao drank a bowl with some side dishes before coming out.
When Hua Shancheng and the others arrived, Su Xiao was wiping Shang Zimu's face.
"Xiaoxiao, I brought you some steamed buns. Eat them while they're hot." Hua Shancheng handed two large steamed buns to Su Xiao.
"Master, I've already eaten." Su Xiao took the food in surprise, then smiled wryly.
"Oh? You've eaten? Then have some more." Hua Shancheng didn't suspect anything, assuming she had eaten at the hospital cafeteria.
Su Xiao patted her stomach, took one, and said, "One is enough for me."
Without a second thought, Hua Shancheng cut the other one in half, giving one half to Cui Sheng and eating the other half himself, saying, "Quick, while it's hot, don't waste it."
Cui Sheng looked at the steamed bun in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and ate it.
When Dr. Wang arrived, Cui Sheng and Hua Shancheng had already examined Shang Ziming's body again.
"Oh my, this must be our medical doctor who has returned from studying abroad. Welcome, welcome." As soon as Dr. Wang entered the ward, his eyes were fixed on Cui Sheng.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Cui Sheng didn't stand on ceremony when others were being hospitable. He extended his hand to shake hands and said polite words in one smooth motion.
"I've heard so much about you before, and it's a pleasure to meet you today. You are indeed a handsome and promising young man. Of course, I also plan to study abroad, but my family is struggling financially..." Dr. Wang showered Cui Sheng with compliments, and it seemed he intended to have a long talk with her.
Despite the presence of so many people in the ward, it was as if he had a filter in his eyes, as if everyone else didn't exist, and he didn't notice a single one of them.
As Cui Sheng listened to his endless chatter without any sign of stopping, impatience gradually flashed in her eyes.
“Dr. Wang,” Cui Sheng interrupted him, then introduced him, “this is Hua Shancheng, the chief physician of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital…”
"Oh, hello, hello. I'm so sorry, I was so happy to hear that Dr. Cui was here that I neglected you. I apologize." Upon hearing Cui Sheng's introduction, Dr. Wang immediately apologized to Hua Shancheng, and his attitude was quite humble.
“It’s alright, you don’t need to apologize. Dr. Cui is indeed young and promising, and I feel very fortunate to be able to work with him,” Hua Shancheng said politely.
"Oh, right, this is my apprentice, Su Xiaoxiao. Everyone, please get to know each other. It will be convenient for us to work together later." Hua Shancheng introduced himself as well. He had figured it out. Dr. Wang was a complete sycophant. There was no need to waste his energy on someone like that.
If he weren't Shang Ziming's attending physician, who would bother with him?
Hua Shancheng looked at Dr. Wang with a half-smile, and preemptively said, "Dr. Wang, please tell us more about Comrade Shang's situation..."
"Haha, okay." Dr. Wang was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. Sure enough, he was still a shallow person.
Su Xiao watched the whole thing without saying a word.
Dr. Wang is generally unremarkable in his interactions with people, but he is quite accomplished in his professional field.
As a result, the others disliked him less.
"That's how it is. When I operated on him, his condition was already very bad. Now he's unconscious. After the examination, we found a large blood clot in his brain. I had no other options." After saying that, he looked at Cui Sheng. Clearly, in his eyes, Cui Sheng was the leader of this group.
However, neither Hua Shancheng nor Su Xiao were narrow-minded people, nor did they care about his subtle flattery.
They also wanted to know Cui Sheng's thoughts. They needed to discuss again how to choose between the two plans from yesterday.
Cui Sheng frowned as she looked at the medical record, and finally said boldly, "I still want to take the risk of having another craniotomy, as that would be the most direct and efficient option. The second option, conservative treatment, is not necessarily a good outcome if it drags on for too long."
Cui Sheng shared his opinion, then looked at Hua Shancheng and Su Xiao, waiting for their feedback.
She paid no attention to Dr. Wang's compliments.
"Master, can his body withstand another surgery?" Su Xiao looked at Hua Shancheng, this was her biggest concern.
Hua Shancheng frowned. "It is indeed a bit of a stretch."
Hua Shancheng thought for a moment and said, "Do it. At the same time, I will give him acupuncture."
Su Xiao thought of the acupuncture technique she had just acquired and started chatting with Hua Shancheng again.
Hua Shancheng's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, "Brilliant!"
His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Su Xiao. "Xiao Xiao, it's still you. You always have some ingenious ideas. If you work hard, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine."
Su Xiao could only laugh awkwardly. She felt unworthy of such an honor. Without the support of a pharmacopoeia, what did she know?
However, luck is also part of strength. Who told her to be so lucky to have transmigrated and gained a spatial ability?
"Dr. Cui, when is the surgery?" Su Xiao asked.
Cui Sheng said, "The sooner the better."
After discussing it again, the group decided to do it now, since there was no point in waiting.
Dr. Wang, who was standing nearby, was stunned. Was it really that hasty? They just did it without warning?
Yes, they did it right away. The team changed into sterile gowns and began the surgery.
For a full six hours, the operating room lights remained on. Outside the operating room, Cheng Jiulang waited anxiously, unable to sit still.
He had only gone to the military headquarters to report on the situation and was a little late when he arrived. He found that the patient was gone from the ward, and after asking around, he learned that the patient had already gone into the operating room.
He was truly like a headless fly, completely lost and directionless.
Suddenly, the operating room lights went out.
Cheng Jiulang suddenly stood up, the door opened, and Su Zhao and several nurses pushed the hospital bed out.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you?" Cheng Jiulang didn't notice that his tongue was trembling.
"The surgery was a success."
