"What can we do? My uncle also said he's resigned to his fate. Now we can only find someone with more experience, who has a chance of restoring our sight."
Even the King of Heaven himself couldn't do anything about this. Yang Changping could accept it, but whether he could accept it or not, that was all he could do.
"Jiaojiao, I..."
Shu Manling seemed hesitant to speak, so Bai Jiaojiao asked, "What's wrong, Manling?"
“It’s alright,” Shu Manling swallowed her words. “In that case, the sooner the surgery is done, the better. Our hospital’s neurosurgery department is considered one of the better ones in Yancheng. Otherwise, you shouldn’t transfer to another hospital.”
"That's what I think too."
When Wen Cheng had his accident, everyone was deeply saddened. Many patients, like Yang Changping, who were waiting in line for Wen Cheng's surgery, broke down upon hearing the devastating news.
Compared to them, Yang Changping was indeed very calm.
He has weathered countless storms. In his words, being able to return from the battlefield was a stroke of luck, and every day he lived was a bonus.
However, although he himself was happy, his family couldn't calm down, and Du Ying developed a large sore on her lip due to the inflammation.
Bai Jiaojiao was planning to go home when she saw Yang Fenglin crying in the stairwell.
"Fenglin".
Bai Jiaojiao gently placed her hand on Yang Fenglin's shoulder. When Yang Fenglin heard that Bai Jiaojiao had arrived, he wiped away his tears and tried to make his voice sound normal as he said, "Sister, I'm fine."
"Fenglin, if your uncle can't see anymore, you have to take good care of him and your aunt. Your grandfather will also have to rely on you in the future."
Yang Fenglin was about the same age as her, and he wasn't a child anymore. He wasn't usually this fragile, but his usually strong father had suddenly suffered such a disaster, and Yang Fenglin couldn't accept it for a while.
"I know, sister, don't worry. It's getting late, you should go back quickly so your husband won't worry."
"I'll come over when my uncle has surgery tomorrow, so don't worry."
Yang Changping's surgery is still scheduled for tomorrow morning, but a different doctor will be performing it.
Yang Fenglin nodded. Bai Jiaojiao was about to leave when Shu Manling, who had rushed over, stopped her.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Jiaojiao, I've thought about it, and I still need to tell you something." Shu Manling pursed her lips, frowned, and looked like she was having trouble speaking.
"you say."
Bai Jiaojiao didn't understand why Shu Manling would do this.
With things having come to this point, could anything be worse?
"Actually, I can also perform your uncle's surgery, but..."
Shu Manling only finished speaking, but Bai Jiaojiao still understood what she meant.
However, she was just a young doctor who had just been promoted to attending physician. She had no experience and was not qualified to perform surgery on someone of Yang Changping's level.
"Are you serious?" Yang Fenglin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"No, listen to me first. I was present at every one of Professor Wen's surgeries. He taught me the procedure, but I have never actually performed it on an operating table."
Shu Manling had never performed this surgery on her own before, and now that Wen Cheng wasn't sure she could do it, Shu Manling didn't dare to joke about Yang Changping.
Bai Jiaojiao understood Shu Manling's concerns, and now she knew why Shu Manling was hesitant to speak.
"Let's go back and discuss this with Uncle. Actually, I think the consequences can't be any worse, so we might as well give it a try." Leaving it to Shu Manling at least gives us some hope.
"But if you entrust him to other experienced doctors, there might be a chance your uncle could regain his sight with proper care. As for me..."
It wasn't that Shu Manling lacked confidence; it was just that she had to tell her patients the worst-case scenario.
Shu Manling was hesitant about whether to tell them about it because she was afraid of causing them unnecessary trouble. If she chose to risk having her perform the surgery, it might fail completely. If she chose another doctor, she might regret not taking the risk now.
But she thought about it again and again, wondering what if she could succeed.
So she caught up with him and ultimately gave the patient the right to choose.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't go home either; she and Yang Fenglin took Shu Manling to Yang Changping's ward.
“Uncle, here’s the situation. Manling is Wen Cheng’s apprentice. She has been studying with Wen Cheng for at least five or six years. Theoretically, she can perform this surgery, and she has practiced it before, but she has never actually performed it on the operating table. She is taking a risk by making this decision, and we would like to ask for your opinion.”
Before Yang Changping could speak, Du Ying looked at Shu Manling and said, "You're Jiaojiao's classmate, so it hasn't been many years since you graduated, right?"
“I graduated four years ago and I’m qualified to perform the surgery. It’s just that this surgery is a bit special.” Shu Manling looked at Du Ying, feeling inexplicably uneasy. She answered concisely, not daring to say much more.
Du Ying didn't mean anything by it. First, she was worried that Shu Manling was inexperienced and her skills were not good enough. Second, she was worried that the blow that Wen Cheng's accident had dealt to Shu Manling today would prevent her from performing the surgery in the best possible condition.
She used to be a battlefield nurse, so she knew a bit about this. Although doctors are generally very mentally strong, this incident was too sudden and serious. Shu Manling's eyes were still swollen. Du Ying hesitated when such a young doctor proposed to risk performing a surgery she had never done before.
Seeing her hesitation, Shu Manling said, "I'm just offering you a possibility. I know it's risky, so let's forget about it! Director Xu will do his best tomorrow."
Seeing that Shu Manling had retreated first, Du Ying did not say anything.
