On the afternoon of the day when Chen Jianguo and his wife arrived at the Institute, the examinations began.
August personally pushed Chen Jianguo's wheelchair to the imaging department. Sanbo Hospital had just introduced a brand‑new MRI scanner half a year earlier, one of the most advanced models currently in Clinical use in the country, with extremely high resolution for imaging fine structures such as the spinal cord. When Chen Jianguo was transferred onto the examination table, Sister Li stood behind the leaded glass of the control room, her hands unconsciously clasped in front of her, her gaze following her husband as he was slowly pushed into that huge white cylinder.
"Sister Li, there's no need to be nervous." Tang Shun stood beside her, keeping his voice very soft. "This kind of examination has no radiation and no pain. The whole process takes about forty minutes. You can sit for a while in the lounge over there."
