Chapter 410: A Reliable Assistant
If surgery is involved, then inevitably, some specialized equipment will be necessary. Or perhaps, these are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
Initially, I believed that with my abilities I should be able to resolve it, but now it seems unlikely that this issue can be resolved without surgery.
Should I really perform this surgery on him?
If so, do I truly possess the ability?
Moreover, is this patient genuinely that important to me?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Seeing Lin Yi silent here, as if the old man were growing anxious,
after all, now there is someone who can actively describe his own symptoms, and it seems he has quite a good understanding of his condition.
Finally, Lin Yi made up his mind.
Opportunities are fleeting, and encountering such a patient with a bone injury is not so easy.
"I just need a few things, and I have to make an incision in your area, but don't worry, it'll be a very small wound that doesn't require stitching."
"Okay, if you can do it, then there's no problem."
"But I can't complete this alone. So, give me some time; I'm going to make a call and have someone bring over some equipment, and then there'll be someone to assist me."
"Sure, definitely no problem. Tell me where the person is, and I'll arrange for a driver to pick them up right away."
"That won't be necessary; her workplace isn't far from here. Wait here for a bit."
He couldn't think of anyone else; the only person he could think of was Liu Yao, who had just agreed to assist him. "Hello, where are you?"
In fact, this question was redundant; under these circumstances, Liu Yao should certainly be in the hospital.
"Oh, I'm at the hospital. What's up?"
"Are you available right now? If so, come to the Xiangjiang Grand Hotel, I'm in room 2801."
"What, what did you say? Xiangjiang Grand Hotel? In broad daylight, why, why are you asking me to come to a hotel?"
Liu Yao was indeed surprised.
She didn't understand what Lin Yi was up to at the moment, and it seemed rather inappropriate to suddenly invite a girl to a hotel.
"Stop asking so many questions. If you trust me, then hurry up and come over; if you can't make it, I'll find someone else."
"Alright, I, I understand; I'll be there soon."
"Also, on your way here, try to bring a set of surgical instruments, brand new ones, and make sure they are absolutely reliable. Understand?"
"Okay, I got it."
Why would Liu Yao pass up such a great opportunity?
Having been filled with curiosity about Lin Yi, now she finally had a chance to get close to him and naturally, she intended to firmly grasp this opportunity.
About fifteen minutes passed before Lin Yi heard knocking from outside, and he swiftly walked over and opened the door.
He saw Liu Yao holding a black plastic bag, which obviously contained the surgical tools he needed.
Lin Yi just glanced inside; apart from the instruments, there were also items like alcohol and surgical thread—it seemed she had thought of everything very thoroughly.
"What's the matter? Why did you ask me to come here? And are you planning to perform surgery on yourself?"
Having been asked to bring surgical instruments, Liu Yao felt there must be a reason.
Could it be that this guy was actually going to perform surgery?
"Here's the situation: there's a patient with a bone injury, and now I need to help him. So, I need a professional nurse to manage the process to avoid the risk of infection in the wound."
While explaining the situation, they went inside the room.
Liu Yao looked at the old man with white hair, guessing he must be around 70 years old.
However, looking at his overall physique, he seemed relatively robust, except for his leg.
"Alright, tell me what you want to do, and I'll assist you."
"Have you been in an operating room before?"
"Of course, every time surgery was done on a patient with a bone injury, I always assisted the doctors, so I'm quite familiar with all these procedures. You're not planning to perform surgery, are you?"
At that moment, it seemed as though she suddenly realized something.
"Yes, surgery is indeed the plan."
"But under these circumstances, how, how are you going to perform surgery, especially with such rudimentary conditions?"
"No worries, I have my ways. But after the surgery, about the stitching and some other issues, you'd have no problems, right?"
"If the instruments are all adequately provided, I definitely won't have any issues, but given your current conditions..."
"What, is it going to be difficult?"
"Difficult, there'd be some to an extent."
"I'm just asking if you can do it or not?"
"If you can manage on your part, then naturally I'll have no issues on mine."
Liu Yao was that kind of person.
The more challenging it was, the more she wanted to take it on.
However, the key issue was that it now involved a person's physical safety, and she really dare not readily agree to him.
"No problem, rest assured, if I wasn't confident, I definitely wouldn't do this," she said and followed him, stepping forward.
"Come, lie down on that bed."
"Are you planning to make an incision here?"
"If you're willing to let me treat you, then I will make the incision. It's a very minor surgery, don't worry. It won't take long and might even avoid the need for stitches."
At this point, the old man was indeed hesitant.
He had never thought of having a stranger perform surgery on him.
But he had conveyed his condition so precisely, and generally, nobody could do that.
Just this alone made him admire Lin Yi greatly, so he might truly choose to trust him at this moment.
"Hmm, alright, I'll leave my leg in your hands. I want to see what kind of results you can achieve."
