"Let's hear the bad news first," Chen Jianguo said, "Save the good news for later, to balance it out."
"The bad news is that your injury has been confirmed as a complete injury on electrophysiology. The nerve conduction below the level of injury is completely interrupted, with no residual ascending or descending signal pathways. This is not unexpected, but after confirmation, it means that our intervention strategy needs to shift from 'repair' to 'rebuild'—we need to lay a new nerve pathway in your spinal cord from scratch, rather than trying to clear the old one. It's like not repairing an old road buried by a landslide, but rather, carving out a new tunnel alongside. The difficulty is greater, the cycle is longer, and the uncertainty is higher."
Chen Jianguo nodded, his expression unchanged. "Understood, what else?"
