Chapter 242 Only Shock Remains in My Heart
Du Ruoxia's two sentences left Du Minghai dumbfounded.
He was still in a daze when Liu Wang and Dr. Wu worked together to pull him up from the ground.
Du Minghai plopped down on the stool, his mind still reeling.
After a while, he realized what was happening and his face lit up with ecstasy.
"Does Dr. Du mean there's still hope for my leg?"
"Yes, you haven't exceeded the time limit, so there's still hope for your leg."
Du Ruoxia smiled slightly, while Du Minghai shouted excitedly.
"Ahhh, my legs are saved! My legs really can be saved!"
"That's wonderful, Dr. Du, thank you so much! I'll listen to you from now on and never dare to go against you again!"
Du Minghai lowered his pride and tried his best to be humble and subservient in front of Du Ruoxia.
As long as his leg gets better, I'd even make him bark like a dog, let alone say a few nice words.
"No need for empty promises. As long as I can cure your leg, remember to give me half of your salary and bonuses from the past three years."
"Also, you must not be so short-tempered in the future, and you must not look down on anyone, especially not be rude to the military doctor."
Du Ruoxia seized the opportunity to teach him a lesson immediately.
In the past, Du Minghai would never have listened, but now that he has experienced the joy of regaining what he lost, he does whatever Du Ruoxia says.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. It's just half of three years' salary and bonuses, right? No amount of money is more important than my leg!"
"As for your question about my bad temper, and your wish for me to change it, I agree."
"This incident made me realize that people who are short-tempered and look down on others will not have a good outcome."
Having experienced this tremendous change, Du Minghai's entire mindset has been completely transformed.
He realized that being irritable was bad for him and could even cause him to lose everything.
If he continues to be so stubborn, he'll really deserve to die if he encounters something like this again.
"Lie down in the hospital bed, I'll start your treatment now."
Du Ruoxia has said everything she needed to say and made all the requests she needed to make.
There was no point in continuing, so she got straight to the point.
Du Minghai had been waiting for this moment, and he trembled with joy once again.
When he looked up from his hospital bed, Du Ruoxia was giving him anesthesia.
Du Ruoxia was already beautiful, but she looked even more beautiful when she was focused on her work.
She was slender and slim, and looked like a fairy in white when she wore a white coat.
Her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was somewhat solemn.
Du Minghai dared not continue to speculate about her thoughts, for it was his overthinking that had led to such a big misunderstanding.
Du Minghai never expected that he would do that, and he immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Looking back now, it seems like I was using some form of moral blackmail, which was a bit of a loss of face, but thankfully the outcome was good.
"How are you feeling? Does your leg hurt?"
After Du Ruoxia administered the anesthesia, she pinched Du Minghai's calf.
Du Minghai was lost in thought, a smile on his face.
He can't feel any pain now; even if you chopped off his leg, he wouldn't feel anything.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
Du Minghai spoke naively, and Du Ruoxia frowned even more.
I always felt that this person looked a bit dull after their temper improved.
"Liu Wang, is everything prepared for the surgery?"
"Dr. Wu, why don't you come and lend a hand?"
Du Ruoxia immediately started ordering them to work.
Everyone was very cooperative, doing whatever Du Ruoxia asked them to do.
There were no major surgeries scheduled for the troops today, so the military doctors were relatively free.
Dr. Zhang was left to see patients alone, and he actually wanted to come and watch.
However, he met Dr. Du relatively late, and their relationship was not very close.
He never gets to have such good opportunities; he's stuck doing his old job.
Du Ruoxia cut open Du Minghai's wound, and only then did Du Minghai come to his senses and feel a slight pain.
She wasn't actually completely anesthetized; she was just in a daze, so her senses were dulled.
Du Ruoxia began to set his bones. Some of the more serious injuries would normally require fixation with steel nails, but Du Ruoxia never liked to use steel nails when treating bone injuries.
Steel nails can indeed accelerate bone healing, but a second surgery must be performed six months later.
As a result, even though the patient recovered before, they would suffer for a long time after the second surgery.
If the recovery after the second surgery is not good, it may even affect the outcome of the first surgery.
Du Ruoxia had set Du Minghai's bones in advance to avoid this situation from happening.
She cut open Du Minghai's leg, pieced together the remaining bones, stitched them up, and then cleverly bandaged him up.
This bandaging method is quite unique and can accelerate bone healing.
Du Minghai's wound was a secondary injury, and his bone tissue was extremely fragile. Inserting steel nails would have posed a risk of bone fracture.
Once his bones are broken, there is no possibility of recovery.
Because many doctors use traditional methods, most people expected this outcome.
So they dared not treat him, not because they couldn't cure him, but because they saw the risks of using steel nails.
If Du Minghai were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but he happens to be a military commander.
No hospital dared to take such a big risk, so he went to three hospitals in a row, and the doctors all said there was no way to treat him.
Du Minghai is not a doctor and cannot see the stakes involved.
He only knew that Du Ruoxia could cure his illness and save his life, but others couldn't. That was the difference.
Du Ruoxia dared to treat him because her method was unconventional.
Du Ruoxia was able to avoid such risks. She had anticipated all possible situations during the treatment, so she was naturally fearless.
The entire surgery took three hours.
Liu Wang and Dr. Wu stayed by Du Ruoxia's side the whole time.
They are also doctors, and they can understand her actions, but they don't understand the principles behind them.
Du Ruoxia may look young, but she is actually very experienced.
She always had all sorts of unusual treatment methods.
Many of these methods were unheard of to them, and even now that they have seen them with their own eyes, they still cannot understand them.
After watching her performance, the two were left with nothing but awe.
Du Ruoxia is different from them. She is capable enough to become an honorary military doctor, and she is indeed qualified to lead them.
Dr. Wu was initially a little resentful of her, but now he's completely obedient.
After the surgery was completed, Du Ruoxia breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already past 5 p.m., and the military doctor in the infirmary was about to finish his shift.
Not long after the surgery was completed, Du Minghai opened his eyes.
Du Ruoxia was packing up the equipment when she saw him wake up and casually asked him a question.
How are you feeling now?
"It feels...it feels pretty good."
