My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 395: Chapter 388: Indispensable

She walked over, carefully pulling out his hand from under the blanket, noticing calluses all over his palm. This sight unexpectedly, caused her heart to ache slightly.

His age was similar to her father’s, and his hands were also reminiscent of her father’s.

At this moment, the patient seemed to feel something, firmly gripping Yuxin’s hand. His rough fingers indicated not only the past hardships he had endured, but also the pain he had suffered.

He had surely not had an entirely easy life, right?

“Don’t be afraid, it’s fine,” Tang Yuxin gently patted the patient’s hand, soothing him. After a while, his grip relaxed, but he was still unconscious.

Only then did Tang Yuxin place her hand on his wrist to check his pulse.

Thankfully, just like the results from the equipment indicated, all his indicators were normal, so he was not in a life-threatening situation. As for his legs, they were still in good condition. Right now, the flesh and blood in his legs were still alive.

She carefully returned the patient’s hand to the blanket, walked over to the other side of the bed, then lifted the blanket to examine his legs.

Both legs were meticulously wrapped in gauze. Some slight bleeding had occurred overnight, but it wasn’t too severe. She had personally operated on these legs, suturing every piece of flesh herself, so even now, she remembered where the flesh had been missing and where the sutures were. She reached into her pocket and took out a needle kit. She opened it, then pulled out needles of various lengths. In just a moment, she had filled the injured legs with these needles.

Whether the leg could be saved depended on whether it was still alive and connected to his body. As long as it was alive, no matter how severe the injury, there would always be hope for recovery. The human body’s healing ability was incredibly powerful, but the key was that it had to be alive.

Blood, flesh, tendons, and veins were all indispensable.

All she could do now was to ensure the legs were full of blood and energy, the meridians unblocked, so the legs continued to be alive. If they were alive, they would feel pain, whether it was from the flesh, the bones, or the nerves.

Therefore, reviving a severed leg was never easy.

Because what one had to endure was pain beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

After taking back her silver needles, she packed up her needle kit and went out. She didn’t have anything to do here, and the other interns didn’t need her for their tasks. Of course, she only had one patient, the seemingly high-ranking old man.

She was the old man’s personal doctor, and she performed his daily check-up. She then wrote up the medical record. All other matters were handled by the hospital, and the hospital’s decision was to spare no effort to cure the patient.

The phrase “spare no efforts” carried a profound meaning.

The old man woke up three days later.

He was calm, so calm that it was as if he just had a minor cold. Even though the pain was so intense that his face turned pale and his clothing was soaked in sweat, he didn’t show any excessive grimacing.

“I heard that you saved me?” the old man asked Tang Yuxin with a smile. The young woman had clear eyes that easily inspired affection and could lower anyone’s guard.

“Not exactly,” Tang Yuxin humbly corrected, “I only saved your legs, not your life. Many doctors could have saved your life, not only me. They have better skills and higher qualifications than I do.”

Because saving a life and saving a leg are different things.

The old man laughed heartily; even though he was breaking into a cold sweat, he could still laugh. Most people, if they were in this state, would not have wanted to live, but this man was like an iron warrior. His willpower earned Tang Yuxin’s admiration.

This man was firm as iron, and his character was indomitable. Otherwise, he would not have endured so much suffering at such an old age. He should have already found a comfortable place to retire.

“Sir, does it hurt a lot?” Yuxin asked with concern. She knew it was painful, but she didn’t know to what extent because she was not him, and she was not the one enduring the pain.

Only he could fully understand his pain, for none of them were him.

“It’s fine,” the old man continued to smile, “Don’t worry, young lady. No matter how much it hurts, I can bear it. Tell me, will I be able to walk on my legs in the future?” As he said this, he sighed slightly, seemingly somewhat unwilling. He still wanted to command more troops, to lead more good soldiers. To retire like this… he was truly unwilling. He had been a soldier all his life; this was his belief now. If he lost this belief, would he still be himself?

“You will be able to walk,” Tang Yuxin nodded, “This is why it hurts. If you don’t want it to hurt, you can amputate it and won’t have to endure so much pain. The more it hurts now, the more it indicates that your blood and energy are plentiful. When the blood and energy circulate throughout your legs, the better your recovery will be because your legs are alive.”

She pulled the blanket over the old man, carefully covering his legs. Therefore, no matter what, the old man had to endure because his pain would be exchanged for a pair of healthy legs.

“Thank you,” the old man was still smiling, but his eyes were slightly red.

What kind of emotion could make such a strong man show such an expression.

Was it because of his legs?

Or was it because with those legs, he could still fulfill his dreams? He would not have to leave the place he had spent his life in for the following days. He could still stand on his feet and tread the solid ground, right?

Tang Yuxin looked up at the bottle of medicine hanging above. The medicine had been dripping continuously into his almost fleshless legs.

Tang Yuxin took a bottle of medicine and added it in. The bottle contained some painkillers. Although they could not be used too much, as it would be a burden on his current physical condition, at least it could allow him to have a good sleep. Because when he woke up, he would still have to face the same pain, the same torment, the endless pain.

She sat there for a while, waiting for the old man to fall asleep before standing up and preparing to go out. She instructed the nurses outside to take care of him while she went out to the pharmacy.

“Give me these medicines,” she handed over the prescription.

The person at the pharmacy took the prescription without a word and prepared the medicines for Tang Yuxin.

When Tang Yuxin returned, she heard from the nurse that the dean had been looking for her.
