Qin Man just couldn’t accept it if her daughter would become a cripple.
If the ladies in the city knew about this, wouldn’t they become a laughing stock?
“70-80% recovery is already quite good. Besides, I wouldn’t even say that she’s medically crippled. It’s just that, she’d limp just a bit whenever she walks, but I believe this can still be addressed by therapy.” The doctor frowned.
“If we hadn’t done the surgery, then she would’ve actually been a cripple.”
After the scan, they saw that the bone was completely broken. It was a difficult situation, one that should’ve been addressed promptly. For it to recover 70-80% of its function was already a feat.
He couldn’t understand how it had been twisted to this extent.
However, this mother was also strange.
Her daughter had been more injured. He expected her to ask about the condition of her injury and how she’d recuperate. He didn’t expect her to call her own daughter a cripple!
Was limping more tragic than recovering from her injury?
“No, my daughter can’t be a cripple! Please, you must do your best to treat her. Money isn’t a problem for us. She has to be able to dance!”
Qin Man had sent her to various institutions to train her in her talents. She wanted her to win all the glory for herself.
If she was unable to dance, such a daughter would only become a burden they’d have to bear!
What was going to happen to them then?
“With the patient’s current condition, it wouldn’t be suitable for her to stress her foot even further. With the proper physical therapy, she might be able to dance, but that wouldn’t happen in the first two or three years.”
Qin Man pursed her lips. “How could her recovery take so long? Is there no way for her to recover much faster?” She clenched her fists.
This was the first time the doctor had ever met such an unreasonable parent.
“If you really want your daughter to recover quickly, you should let her have a few more surgeries.”
He had actually meant it as a warning.
The kid’s foot was already so injured. Naturally, a good-natured parent would want her child to rest at first, right?
After all, if Yao Ran would go through another surgery, she’d been in so much pain. This was something no parent would want to bear.
However, what he didn’t expect was to see her nod so readily.
“If we were to add another surgery, then how long will it take for her to recover?”
He fell silent.
There was a moment’s pause when he replied, “If you really want your daughter to go through another surgery, then we have to wait for at least a month to observe her.”
“That way, we’ll be able to see the effects of the surgery,” he continued. “If your daughter recovers normally, then we can go through with it. However, I have to make it clear—once the anesthetic wears off, she’ll be in a lot of pain.”
The pain would only be worse after each surgery.
However Qin Man didn’t look like she cared at all. Instead, she waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t talk to me about these things. I just wanted to talk about her recovery. How long till she recovers?”
It was obvious that this woman only cared about her and her daughter’s image, not about the pain she might go through.
Was this woman even her biological mother?
Even if they were acquaintances, no one wanted to see someone in this much pain.
Yet there wasn’t the slightest bit of concern from this woman!
Feeling the doctor’s dark gaze, Qin Man immediately felt as if she had said something wrong.
She lowered her gaze and sighed.
“Doctor, you don’t understand. My daughter—she loves dancing. If she finds out that her foot had been injured, she’d be devastated. I only want to make sure that she keeps doing what she loves.”
