”Hey, help me push the bed into the X-ray room. I need to see how badly his leg is broken,” Johann ordered.
Although it was his friend’s clinic, it was a good thing it had an X-ray room. Otherwise, he would not know exactly what happened to Pierre’s leg.
The two of them pushed Pierre toward the direction Johann pointed at.
“This is going to be hard. I didn’t expect him to come in with a broken leg. I’m the only one in the clinic, so I can’t operate on him…” Johann said resignedly.
Even if the doctors and nurses here were given a day off, so all he could do was help dress Pierre’s wounds.
The clinic here did not have the license to perform surgeries, so they would not have any of the tools needed for it either.
However, if Pierre went too long without surgery, he might have to get his leg amputated instead of having it just be impaired.
Johann was put in a tough spot.
“Let’s take an X-ray first. I believe Mr. Mallory will have a solution.” Gordon smirked out of spite. What did Pierre’s broken leg have to do with him?
He was just getting tired of sitting there.
Johann followed them into the X-ray room and instructed them on how to position Pierre.
None of them had done this before, so they were quite clumsy.
Johann was a doctor, not a mover, so he did not help them move Pierre. He went into the imaging room and asked them to go out once they were done positioning Pierre so that he could take the X-Ray.
Luckily, he had a year’s experience working at MSF…
Doctors at MSF had to operate on their own, and they could not even hope for an assistant as every doctor would be busy with all the patients flooding in from the war zones.
Johann skillfully operated the machine. He was worried that Pierre might have other injuries, so he simply scanned his entire body.
After a while, the results came out.
Only the bone in his right calf was broken, so Johann made a judgment call based on how the wound looked.
Then, he walked out of the X-ray room.
“Dr. Park, how’s Mr. Pierre?”
Johann took out the report and said, “His leg is indeed broken, and according to the X-ray, it did not just happen a couple of days ago. So, the operation must be performed as soon as possible. If it’s left untreated for over a week, he might suffer from necrosis.”
The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They thought that Gordan had broken Pierre’s leg, but after what the doctor said, they definitely could not be blamed anymore.
“What are you still standing there for? You can’t make decisions for Percy, so go call him right now,” urged Johann.
One of them took out his phone to call Percy.
“Hello,” Percy answered immediately.
“Boss, Dr. Park has something to tell you.” The man turned on the speakerphone and handed it to Johann.
However, Johann did not take the phone. Instead, he talked to him while looking at the report, “It’s bad. His right calf has been fractured for some time, and if the operation is not performed within seven days, the bone may be necrotic. If that’s the case, his leg won’t just be impaired. He might need to get it amputated.”
The necrotic bone might get infected and cause him excruciating pain, which would lead to amputation.
He had seen a case like this before when he was working at MSF.
The patient had suffered a fracture early in his life, but he did not undergo surgery as he did not have the money to do so. It did not affect his daily life either.
In the end, the infection got out of control and his only option was to amputate the necrotic bone.
By then, the patient had already suffered a great deal, and he still lost his hand in the end.
