After signing his name on the document, Song Yan raised his head. As soon as he saw Doctor Xie, he stood up suddenly and exclaimed in disbelief, "Teacher!"
Due to his sudden movement, the chair was pushed backwards and fell to the ground. Seeing his reaction, the nurse was stunned. This was the first time she had seen him, who had always been calm, lost his calm.
Ignoring the astonished gazes of the nurse, Aunt Li, and Li Sang, Doctor Xie sighed and said, "Have you forgotten what I taught you? Keep your calm."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Song Yan felt like he was in a dream. Everyone said his teacher was dead, but he never believed the rumor. Unexpectedly, he finally found him in this small town!
"Teacher, I will never forget your teachings. Teacher, I have been looking for you all these years. Where have you been?" He said with reddened eyes.
Doctor Xie waved his hand, sat down and said, "We will talk about this later. Now, tell me how Li Shu’s condition is."
When Aunt Li and Li Sang heard what he said, they quickly sat down and looked at Song Yan anxiously.
"Doctor Song, how is my daughter?" Li Sang asked.
Seeing that his teacher didn’t want to talk about his personal affairs now, Song Yan could only swallow his doubts and pick up his chair. After sitting down, he coughed and opened the folder.
He placed the folder in front of Doctor Xie and said, "Part of the patient’s left lung was injured and infected. So, we had no choice but to remove the infected part."
After hearing what he said, Aunt Li felt her eyes darken and almost fainted.
Seeing his mother’s reaction, Li Sang quickly supported her arms and asked, "Mother, are you alright?"
Aunt Li took a few deep breaths before feeling better. She waved her hands and said weakly, "I’m fine."
Song Yan glanced at them and his teacher. When he saw his teacher frowning but didn’t say anything, he continued his explanation, "The surgery will not affect the patient’s daily life. But she might be unable to do heavy work or exercise too much in the future."
Hearing his words, Li Sang fell silent. For villagers, the worst-case scenario is losing the ability to work in the fields. If his daughter cannot do heavy work, it will be difficult for her to find a good family to marry in the future. After all, no one wants to marry a daughter-in-law who cannot earn work points or do housework.
Not knowing their inner turbulence, Song Yang added, "After the operation, the patient may feel difficulty breathing. I will teach the patient how to do deep breathing and coughing exercises to help her body get as much oxygen as possible. She may also need an oxygen mask after the surgery, but after a while, it won’t be needed."
"The patient may also feel discomfort and pain in the first few months after the surgery. I will prescribe some painkillers before the patient is discharged. However, due to the severity of the patient’s injuries, she will need to stay in the intensive care unit for at least five days for observation."
When Doctor Xie finished reading Li Shu’s data, his eyes flashed for a moment before it returned to normal. But because he lowered his head, no one noticed anything unusual.
