She saw the look in Zhan Lichuan’s eyes and took out a piece of chocolate from her bag. She ripped the wrapping apart and placed it inside Zhan Lichuan’s mouth.
“Just tell me when you want it. I still have a lot of them in my bag.”
“Alright.”
With the chocolate in his mouth, Zhan Lichuan felt as if he could overcome any pain in this world.
“I’ll start with the surgery now.”
“Alright.”
“You are not under any anesthesia, which is why you have to tell me once you feel uncomfortable so that I’ll be able to make the appropriate changes to make you feel better.”
“Okay.”
Zhan Lichuan agreed with a happy, satisfied mood as the chocolate in his mouth melted.
He never thought there would be a bar of chocolate on the earth that could be this delicious. He would really love to know what brand it was so that he could get Zhe Yan to buy some and have them at home.
The operating table was an automated machine. When Jing Qian told the rest of them that they were starting the surgery, a mat came from beneath and covered Zhan Lichuan from the front. After covering him properly with the blanket, the operating table turned 180 degrees and when the covers were removed, Zhan Lichuan was already lying on his front on the operating table.
As his clothes got untied, Zhan Lichuan felt cold, soft cotton that was being rubbed near his neck.
Then, he could no longer feel it as it went downwards.
There were two silver needles that had been inserted into the acupuncture points near his shoulder blades and Zhan Lichuan could feel a numbing sensation in his hands.
“Can you feel this?” Jing Qian asked.
“Yes.”
Zhan Lichuan answered it calmly. Jing Qian then realized that this man had already learned that his arms had already recovered.
“Try moving the ring finger on your right hand.”
Zhan Lichuan followed her instruction and moved his finger.
“The little thumb.”
Zhan Lichuan moved accordingly.
As she made sure that the nerve endings had already recovered accordingly, Jing Qian picked up the scalpel without any hesitation and cut across Zhan Lichuan’s third thoracic vertebrae.
Blood started spilling out of his body, and Jing Qian looked at it calmly. Hong Lu then picked up the forceps and grabbed a gauze to absorb the blood. She then removed the gauze and replaced it with another.
The blood soon stopped with the help of the coagulants. With this opportunity and her quick hand speed and strength, she immediately removed the steel nails that were inserted into Zhan Lichuan’s spine during his previous surgery.
Previously, his third thoracic vertebra was broken, and there was a huge part near the fourth thoracic vertebra, about the size of a piece of nail, that was completely crushed. With no other choice, the doctor was only able to stabilize it with two steel nails, just like how they would do it in a leg fracture.
Unfortunately, the spinal nerves were injured, and they were permanently damaged.
With her needles and her inner ‘Qi’, she was able to reconnect all the nerves that were above the fracture, but the ones underneath the fracture pieces were completely blocked. If she wasn’t able to remove them, she would not be able to place the needles there.
Therefore, for today’s surgery, she would have to break these remaining fracture pieces into ashes and remove them. Thereafter, she would insert the artificial vertebrae that were designed by their research institute to replace the thoracic vertebrae that were nearly crushed. In the end, with the help of the silver needles, she would be able to reconnect the broken ends of the nerves.
This was a surgery that was similar to Lu Jinian’s surgery, but Lu Jian’s surgery was less complicated.
When Jing Qian removed both the nails, she instructed Zhan Lichuan, “Move the index finger on your left hand.”
Zhan Lichuan couldn’t feel that his back had been cut open, but he still obediently moved his finger.
After removing the nails, the fractured pieces were still sticking onto the spinal nerves. Without any hesitation, Jing Qian immediately removed them using the long forceps.
“Try moving the ring finger on your left hand.”
