Chapter 797: Surgery is risky

Chu Xintian's diagnosis and treatment method is generally a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the same is true of the examination she gave Zhao Wen this time. She first diagnosed Zhao Wen's pulse, and then used the multi-function scanner in the system to do a more detailed examination for Zhao Wen.

As Chu Xintian had predicted before, the result of the examination was that Zhao Wen had hemiplegia due to a spinal injury.

Conservative treatment is not feasible because it is traumatic, so even if acupuncture or plasters are used, these traditional Chinese medicine treatments cannot unblock the nerves, we have to rely on surgery to open the spinal canal to unblock the nerves, and then through medication and follow-up treatment, the damaged and paralyzed nerves can gradually recover.

Chu Xintian explained the results of the examination and the treatment to Zhao Wen and Rong Yu in a language they could understand.

After listening to Chu Xintian's words, Rong Yu and Zhao Wen looked at each other for a while, and then stopped talking.

After all, what Chu Xintian said, they had never heard of such a treatment.

After a long time, Rong Yu asked, "Doctor Chu, I heard that someone's leg has been broken for several years, but after acupuncture or other methods, he can stand up again." Why can't Brother Wen use such a method? Why are we doing this?"

Rong Yu's reaction, Chu Xintian had already expected.

In this era, people's knowledge is limited, and they cannot have the same consciousness as modern people. They don't know about things like surgery. If they don't know, they will inevitably be scared.

So she explained it more carefully: "It's based on the fact that everyone's injury is different, and the treatment is different. For those who can't walk, some people have injured their muscles, some have injured their bones and muscles, and methods such as acupuncture, dressing, etc., may get people back on their feet. However, Shi Ziye's injury is not as simple as a muscle, it must have injured the vertebrae. Otherwise, the prince will not lose sensation in his lower limbs. It's like someone practicing martial arts. His meridians and veins were broken, so he needed surgery. The same goes for his injuries. If he doesn't have surgery, he won't have a chance to recover. ”

"But is there any danger in using a knife?" Rong Yu asked, anxious again.

"Of course there are risks. There are three possibilities. The first is success. After the operation, after a series of training and treatment, Shiziye was able to regain his ability to walk. Second, even if the operation has already been completed, it may not be successful. It's the same as it is now. In addition, there is a worst-case scenario......"

"There is a third possibility, which is the worst ......"

Chu Xintian paused and looked at Rong Yu and Zhao Wen. When she said the second possibility, she felt that Rong Yu's face was not very good.

Fortunately, Zhao Wen's face hasn't changed since he entered the door. He seemed expressionless. No matter what he heard, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There were no waves on his face.

Therefore, when talking about the third situation, Chu Xintian turned his gaze to Zhao Wen: "The worst case is that the prince will die because of this. Of course, this is very unlikely, but there is a certain risk in any action, even if it is a small one, that cannot be ignored. ”

When asked if Rong Yu and Zhao Wen decided to let her help with the treatment, she always explained the possible risks to the patient and his family.

It is the doctor's duty to heal others. Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.

However, it is also the responsibility of the doctor to inform the patient and their family of the possible risks before treatment.

In modern hospitals, patients and their families are also informed of the risks of surgery and an agreement is signed before surgery.

This is a necessary and essential step.

The risks of treatment are obvious. It is up to Zhao Wen and Rong Yu to decide whether to proceed with the treatment.
