Chapter 187: Surgery for Broken Bones
Wu Mei did not answer Bi Fang’s question. She quietly focused on handling the tools that she needed for the surgery and put on her scrubs.
Bi Fang sensed her intentions. Lowering his eyes, he stared at his hands and asked, “What do you need to do?”
Wu Mei was silent for a long time before she slowly said, “The ointment mixed with the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus Fruit can stimulate the regeneration of broken bones, but it can’t be applied across the skin and flesh. It will only be effective with cutting open all the skin outside the broken bones and cleaning up the shattered and healed wounds.”
“I’ll cut open the skin on both your hands and break the healed fractures. I’ll apply some ointment to adhere them again and let them regenerate.”
Wu Mei explained the procedure. If it were anyone else, they would probably be drenched in cold sweat from fear and ask about the success rate of the operation in fear.
However, as a doctor, Bi Fang knew that if he wanted to return to the operating table and pick up the scalpel, he had to go through this suffering!
He took two deep breaths and tried his best to squeeze out a natural smile as he said to Wu Mei, “Okay, I believe you. Let’s begin…”
Wu Mei shook her head and looked at him. She raised her hands that had been sterilized and added, “Previously, I was explaining the surgical procedure for ordinary people with illnesses, but you’re a doctor. Your injuries are in your hands that are frequently used and used to perform precise actions.”
“The procedure has to be extremely detailed and meticulous. I can’t use too many anesthetic drugs.”
“Overuse of anesthetic will cause the reaction of your hand nerves to be slow and affect my judgment. In that case, there might be sequelae and hand trembling after the operation.”
Wu Mei looked at Bi Fang, who was so shocked that his eyes were trembling. She said in a firm tone, “You will be in a lot of pain.”
Bi Fang’s breathing froze. Cutting the skin and breaking the bones with just a little anesthetic?!
But this is the only way to restore his hands to their original state!
Bi Fang hesitated for a moment, but he quickly gritted his teeth and lay down. He closed his eyes and placed his hand on the operating table.
Bi Fang forced himself to remain rational. However, his voice was trembling as he said, “Come on. This pain is nothing.”
Wu Mei’s heart ached as she looked at his pale lips and pale face.
Bi Fang had a stubborn and unyielding character and liked to act brace. As his mentor, she knew this best.
Before the operation, Wu Mei turned around and took out an oral pill that could alleviate the pain. Then, she started the operation…
The chilly scalpel slit opened his skin. Bi Fang could hear the sound of skin being cut and bones being scraped in the quiet room. He was in so much pain that large drops of cold sweat formed on his forehead and rolled down. His entire body was drenched in sweat.
The excruciating pain made Bi Fang bite his lip tightly, but he tried his best to control his hands and did not move them at all.
When Wu Mei saw the white bones on his knuckles, she used a small hammer to break the healed spots. The pain made Bi Fang cry out in agony and he gradually became unconscious.
“Open your mouth!”
Seeing this, Wu Mei pinched his chin and threw the pill into his mouth. “Don’t swallow it. Bite it!”
As Bi Fang’s consciousness wandered, he smelled the familiar medicinal fragrance and the pain gradually subsided.
Wu Mei sped up the operation and sutured Bi Fang’s hands before the painkillers lost its efficacy. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead and packed her things with a sigh of relief. She sat by the bed to look after Bi Fang and monitored his condition. She only left in the dead of night.
The next day, Bi Fang woke up and hurriedly ran out in his hospital gown to block Wu Mei, who had just come out of the room.
Excited, he raised his hands that were wrapped in gauze and looked like pig trotters. He asked anxiously, “What medicine did you give me yesterday?”
“Where did you get it from?”
“That pill has a familiar taste! Hurry up and tell me…”
