Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 160: The Desire to Live Goes Beyond Appearances

This little girl is only eleven years old. When she took the initiative to tell the doctor that she was willing to have her legs amputated, she must have gone through an extremely difficult mental struggle.

She had both the desire to live and the understanding to consider her parents’ feelings.

Seeing her mother in such pain, unable to make a decision about her treatment, she sensibly took the initiative to let the doctor amputate her legs.

"Child, I really admire your courage. Do you still feel any pain?"

When Li Jingsheng examined her at that time, he remembered that not only were her legs in pain, but her shoulders also began to ache.

"It doesn’t hurt anymore."

She shook her head gently, looking at Li Jingsheng with innocent eyes.

"Uncle Li, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, you can!"

"That day, you were the one who discovered that I might have a serious illness, which is why I received timely treatment at the hospital. I think your medical skills must be really amazing. Although the doctors never told me about my condition, I know that the bad stuff might not only be in my legs, but might have spread to other parts. I really want to know, if the bad stuff has already spread to other parts, can this illness still be cured?"

Never underestimate a child’s wisdom.

During her days of treatment in the hospital, she must have pondered many questions.

The way she spoke, her tone and expression, was like that of a little adult.

The trials she faced matured her heart in less than a month.

Li Jingsheng was genuinely stumped by this question.

He couldn’t bring himself to lie to a child.

But telling the truth was even more impossible. If he told her that once bone cancer spreads, it’s hard to treat, it would be like extinguishing her hope for life.

"How about I examine you first and then answer you, okay?"

Li Jingsheng needed some time to skillfully answer her question.

At the same time, he needed her to trust in the authority of his answer.

"Okay!"

She nodded.

"Let me check your bones!"

"Alright!"

She cooperated willingly.

Li Jingsheng carefully examined her leg first.

Perhaps considering her future recovery, the doctor didn’t perform a full upper amputation.

Amputation happened just above the knee.

Part of the thigh was preserved.

As he felt her bones, Li Jingsheng’s expression was serious, closing his eyes to sense the condition of this child’s leg bones.

Everything below the kneecap was gone.
