While Jing Qian proceeded with the surgery, she kept instructing Zhan Lichuan to move.
Zhan Lichuan has been preparing himself for the surgery before this, which is why he remained very relaxed.
Time was passing by really slowly, but because he was with Jing Qian, Zhan Lichuan felt as if it was going by like the breeze.
He had already been in this position for a very long time. He assumed that the surgery already started.
“Has the surgery started?”
The room was quiet, and he decided to talk to her about something so that Jing Qian wouldn’t be nervous.
As for the nurses next to her, they kept their mouths shut since this was one of the rules of the Lawrence Institute.
Although their pay was generous and they had opportunities to learn a lot, they still had to abide by strict, hard rules.
During the surgery, it is prohibited for anyone to chat with the doctor.
“Yes, about half an hour ago. I already removed all the steel nails that were placed inside your spine by the previous doctor. I will continue with removing the vertebrates that were affected as well and replace them with an artificial one. As for now, I am suturing the artificial nerves into your spine.”
Artificial vertebrae…
Artificial meridian…
Zhan Lichuan always felt that he had been ahead when it came to things in the science field; there was rarely anything where the others had thought of and he hadn’t.
But, when Jing Qian told him about these new innovations, it opened his eyes to new horizons.
He could still understand the artificial vertebrae, but how do you suture artificial nerves onto the spine?
Even if you did, wouldn’t it still be artificial?
The most important thing in the middle of the spine was already broken.
If they could successfully remove and replace the nerves and the vertebrae, every paralyzed person out there would be saved; even quadriplegics like him would no longer be in an incurable state in the future.
But…
Even with all these questions, Zhan Lichuan still remained quiet and swallowed all the questions that he had. Since this was Jing Qian’s stage and he had already placed his life in her hands, he should trust her.
She said that he would get better.
She also said that once he gets better, she will like him.
As he thought of it, there was an extremely stunning smile that appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Jing Qian continued with her work systematically. Since Zhan Lichuan was a quadriplegic and he wasn’t able to feel anything below the third vertebra even when she was suturing the deep structures like the nerves and the bones, Jing Qian did it quickly and accurately.
After fixing the nerves, Jing Qian placed half of the artificial vertebrae within. As for the rest, Jing Qian would only be able to install them after running him through a scan. This was to check if there was any debris left from the fractured vertebrae during the injury. If these remained inside his spine for a long time, it might cause osteomyelitis.
The quiet room that was only filled with the clashing sounds of the instruments was suddenly disrupted by Jing Qian’s voice.
“We are already finished with the nerves and have placed half of the artificial vertebrae. As for the rest, I can only do it after removing all the debris in your spine. Since your thoracic vertebrae were confirmed to be fractured and your nerves were injured as well, there would be no hope that you would fully recover, which was why the previous surgeon did not completely remove all the debris from your spine.”
“When I was doing the surgery, I remember that the doctor spent about 2 hours just to get rid of the debris,” Zhan Lichuan answered.
“Oh, then it must be because their skills weren’t as good as ours. There are a lot of remaining pieces at the joints of the vertebrae, and they are close to the bone marrow, so I would need some time to remove them.”
“Take your time, don’t worry. I feel fine.” Zhan Lichuan couldn’t help but comfort her.
He was worried that Jing Qian might be nervous during his surgery. Moreover, he wasn’t able to use any anesthesia.
He kept feeling as if he was causing a lot of trouble for his wife.
