A nearby medical staff member explained, "The girl’s leg is crushed, and the infection is severe."
The man beside them, red-eyed and with a scraggly beard, was clutching the attending doctor. "Doctor, please save my daughter! She loves dancing; she truly can’t be without this leg."
The girl was already feverish and had fallen into a coma.
There were simply too many injured. After inspecting the wound, the doctor told the family to prepare for the worst: amputation might be necessary, considering the severity of the infection.
The man cried like a child. "Doctor, save her! My daughter loves dancing more than anything. If she loses her leg, her life will truly be over."
Everyone present was moved, and many people’s eyes turned red.
Scenes had been playing out every day, and they could all understand the feelings of relatives, of parents. Someone directed, "Take the injured to medical tent number three."
The attending doctor was just about to follow when someone grabbed him. "Doctor Qiu, the patient you just operated on is having complications! You need to go check on them right away."
Doctor Qiu was caught in a difficult situation. Just then, he saw Yunyi and said, "Doctor Chu, I have a situation here. Can you go check on the patient in tent number three first?"
There was a severe shortage of medical staff, and such situations had become common. Yunyi nodded at Doctor Qiu and then turned to head for medical tent number three.
But the man at the entrance panicked. "Doctor, you can’t leave! My daughter’s leg..."
A nearby nurse spoke up. "Don’t worry. All our doctors who perform procedures have first-rate medical skills. You shouldn’t think our Doctor Chu is incompetent just because she’s young. To tell you the truth, if Doctor Chu can’t save your daughter’s leg, then no other doctor here could either."
The man glared at the nurse who had spoken. "You..." He didn’t dare voice his true thoughts, afraid this young doctor wouldn’t properly treat his daughter. In the current circumstances, how could he afford to throw a tantrum? "Doctor, I’m begging you," he pleaded.
Yunyi naturally understood the man’s profound love for his daughter.
She nodded gravely at the man and walked in.
After examining the girl, Yunyi found that the infection was severe. It could become life-threatening if not controlled; the previous doctor hadn’t been wrong.
Looking at the beautiful, unconscious girl lying there, Yunyi didn’t hesitate. "Prepare for drainage and debridement."
Her assistant expressed concern. "Doctor Chu, with such a severe infection..."
Yunyi understood her implication. "Do as I say," she instructed. "This girl is still young. I will do my utmost to save her leg."
While the nurse arranged the medical supplies, Yunyi stepped outside the tent.
The man asked anxiously, "Doctor, can my daughter’s leg be saved...?"
He really didn’t have the courage to finish his question.
Yunyi didn’t waste words and asked directly, "Doctor Qiu’s diagnosis wasn’t wrong. Her leg’s infection is very severe. I have some medicinal powder that I developed myself. Are you willing to let her try it?"
The man thought Yunyi was trying to sell her medicine. "Where’s your conscience?" Official source is NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Yunyi frowned and said coldly, "Listen carefully. I am not trying to sell you medicine. I just want to save her leg, and her dream. If you want to try it, then we’ll try it. If you don’t, I won’t insist. Either way, you, as her family member, must consent. Do you understand?"
Seeing the earnestness and clarity in Yunyi’s eyes, the man knew he had misunderstood her. "Doctor, I’m sorry. I..."
Yunyi cut to the chase. "The medicinal powder was passed down from my ancestors. I brought what little I had when I came to the disaster area. The decision is in your hands."
The man clenched his fists tightly. "I trust you."
