Gu Jiaojiao listened to Xia Qiuming speak as she carefully examined the scans in her hands.
"I have a general idea. The patient has a piece of shrapnel lodged near his heart that was never removed.
It's causing insufficient blood supply, leading to heart failure and shock. So, do you want me to help you remove the shrapnel, or just provide a treatment plan?"
Xia Qiuming frowned. "I want you to help me remove the shrapnel. I'm not sure if it will be a permanent cure, but... at the very least, we can keep him alive. He's an old hero."
"I can do that. You've already run a full-body examination on him, and removing the shrapnel is the best option.
It's the only way to ensure he wakes up... But I can't make any guarantees about how long he'll live after the surgery is over."
Gu Jiaojiao stated it plainly. She wasn't one to overestimate her abilities or make promises she couldn't keep.
