The doctor scoffed, "So many experts have consulted, but none of them could do anything. We had no choice but to grit our teeth and perform the surgery. What can a young girl in her early twenties do?"
Qiao Wanwan ignored him and said to Yu Hui, "I think the tumor is compressing too many nerves and too many complex ones. The surgery is too risky. Even if the surgery is successful, it will be difficult to avoid every nerve."
She pointed to the X-ray, "Here is the optic nerve, here is the facial nerve, and the auditory nerve are all compressed. No matter where it is damaged, it will cause lifelong harm to the child."
“Yes,” Yu Hui said gravely. “But the child’s condition is very dangerous. Surgery is the only option, and the parents have agreed to seize this last chance of success.”
Qiao Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "Professor Yu, if it were me, I would first try conservative treatment to control the tumor. If there is a way to shrink the tumor, not only will the success rate of the surgery be improved, but it may also avoid damaging the nerves, so that the child can become a normal person after recovery."
The doctor just laughed. "You'd better stop wasting everyone's time. Who doesn't want to control the tumor? Who doesn't want the tumor to shrink? If we had a solution, would we need you to bring it up?"
"Just because Western medicine has no solution doesn't mean that traditional Chinese medicine has none."
"Traditional Chinese medicine?" The doctor laughed. "Let me tell you, the reason the child's condition deteriorated so quickly is because the child's parents, in their desperation, sought out traditional Chinese medicine and secretly drank it for half a month without our knowledge!"
Qiao Wanwan said, "If it were some unscrupulous TCM doctors who prescribe medicine to make money by taking advantage of the family's eagerness to cure the disease, it could backfire. But right now, the only thing that can save her is indeed TCM."
"Time is limited, and surgery must be performed as soon as possible. The patient doesn't have time to take traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate!"
"I don't need much time, a week at most will be enough."
"Are you kidding me? Shrink a tumor in a week? Even Hua Tuo himself couldn't do that!"
Yu Hui pulled Qiao Wanwan aside and asked, "Wanwan, I know you know traditional Chinese medicine, but you've also heard that the situation is special right now. Are you confident? If not, you absolutely mustn't act recklessly, or you might get yourself into a lot of trouble."
"Professor Yu, will you perform the surgery for this child?" Qiao Wanwan asked.
“Yes,” Yu Hui said. “I know why they brought me here, just like you said, but this is a human life, and I can’t refuse surgery for the sake of my reputation.”
Qiao Wanwan curved her lips slightly, "My sister has been sick since she was a child, and now I also have a sick child in my family. I can't bear to see such a young child have no future, or suffer a lifelong disability due to some accident during surgery."
"So you're confident?"
"Of course I can't make the tumor disappear, but I can control it to some extent and increase the success rate of the surgery."
Qiao Wanwan never expected that this decision would have a butterfly effect, changing the course of many people's lives, including her own!
Yu Hui nodded, "Okay, leave this to me. I'll handle the communication. You can go back now."
"Um."
Before Qiao Wanwan had even left the hospital, she received a call from Zhan Jingting, "How are you?"
"Just got out of the hospital. I can skip school this afternoon. I'm going to buy a roast duck for National Day."
"good."
Just as Qiao Wanwan reached the roadside, a black sedan parked not far away suddenly sped straight toward her!
