Chapter 349: Can you perform this surgery?
Soon, Du Ruo was led by the attendant to Wen Shiyuan.
Seeing her face, Wen Shiyuan and Mu Shanyue's four eyes widened in unison, and then they stood up at the same time, letting out an unbelievable exclamation.
"It's you?"
"Little Junior Sister?!"
Wen Shiyuan didn't know that Du Ruo was participating in the Medical Conference. There were too many contestants, several thousand people, and it was impossible for him to notice everyone.
And his attention was mainly focused on the few seed players at the scene, as well as the group of people who liked to make trouble.
For example, the Fourth Imperial Daughter of the Fenglin Kingdom.
For example, the dozen big macaques from the Ghost Fang Kingdom.
Therefore, seeing that the person who came was Du Ruo, Wen Shiyuan was very surprised.
As for Mu Shanyue, it was more than just surprise; it was not an exaggeration to call it horror.
Mu Shanyue remembered very clearly that on the day he left the Medicine God Valley, he specifically went to say goodbye to the Little Junior Sister. Although the Little Junior Sister was mentally incomplete, like a two-year-old child, she was silly and cute. Everyone in the valley, including the master, the six senior brothers, and all the uncles, liked her very much.
Every time someone went on a long journey, they would go to say hello to the Little Junior Sister in advance.
Because if they left without saying a word, she would look for them all over the valley the next day, muttering that the person had been eaten by a dog.
"Little Junior Sister, why are you here?" Mu Shanyue walked up quickly, eagerly holding Du Ruo's shoulders, looking down at her. "Did you come alone? Didn't the master send someone to follow you?"
Du Ruo: "..."
Needless to say, she must have been mistaken for that Miss Gu family again.
Was she really that similar to her?
"You have mistaken the person; I am not your Little Junior Sister." Du Ruo stepped back two steps calmly, breaking free from Mu Shanyue's touch.
Not the Little Junior Sister?
Mu Shanyue was a little confused.
"Oh, Sixth Uncle, don't be rash!" Wen Shiyuan reacted at this time and hurriedly pulled him away. "She is indeed not the Little Junior Aunt; her surname is Du, and she is the wife of Official Jiang Li!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Du Ruo and analyzed it for Mu Shanyue. "The Little Junior Aunt has a poor constitution and has always been weak; look at her again, she is plump and rosy, clearly not the same person."
Mu Shanyue stared at Du Ruo for a long time, and his expression gradually relaxed.
"Indeed not, the Little Junior Sister has a cinnabar mole on her forehead, she doesn't."
Furthermore, the person in front of him had a clever look in her eyes, completely different from the innocence of the Little Junior Sister.
Having mistaken the person, Mu Shanyue was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly cleared his throat, retreated to the judge's seat, picked up the prescription, and asked Du Ruo: "Did you write this prescription?"
Du Ruo nodded.
"How did you know to remove the lens in the patient's eye?" Mu Shanyue continued to ask.
As for this question, it was complicated to explain.
Du Ruo thought for a while and changed to a way that ancient people could understand. "The reason why the patient is blind is because the lens in the eyeball has undergone pathological changes, leading to cloudiness and inability to see clearly. Since the cause is known, just solve it. Therefore, surgical removal of the lens is the only and most effective method."
Mu Shanyue and Wen Shiyuan looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Master Jun, the Divine Doctor, had also said the same thing.
However, Master Jun also said that removing the lens is an extremely delicate process, and a slight carelessness could result in permanent blindness.
The most critical thing is that a new lens needs to be replaced, and only Grandmaster Si Zhu Xian knew how to make that lens.
After Si Zhu Xian went missing, this disease truly became an incurable disease...
"Is it enough to just remove the lens?" Mu Shanyue asked tentatively.
Du Ruo shook her head. "That's just the first step of the surgery. After removing the damaged part, a new lens must be implanted. Only then can the patient possibly see the light again."
Hearing this, Mu Shanyue could no longer maintain his usual composure.
He stood up abruptly, staring at Du Ruo with burning eyes. "Can you perform this surgery?"
Du Ruo was silent.
Can she or can't she? That is the question.
If she said she could, she really didn't have full confidence, after all, she hadn't actually operated before; but if she said she couldn't, she might not necessarily win the top prize in this competition...
"Absurd, simply wishful thinking!"
Just as Du Ruo was hesitating, a righteous voice suddenly sounded in her ear, interrupting her train of thought.
Du Ruo looked up.
It was that old chauvinist pig, Dr. Hua, again.
Dr. Hua had been paying special attention to Du Ruo. Seeing Mu Shanyue hold Du Ruo's shoulder just now, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
Little vixen, relying on her good looks, she even dared to hook up with the judge.
Hmph, wanting to pass by relying on beauty?
Dream on!
He wouldn't let her get her wish.
So he ran over aggressively, snatched the prescription from Mu Shanyue's palm, lowered his head and scanned it twice quickly, then sneered. "I've never heard of double pupils being treated like this! As everyone knows, the human eye is where the essence, energy, and spirit reside; how can it be easily operated on? Don't end up not curing the eyes but damaging the foundation instead; that would be a loss that outweighs the gain!"
Mu Shanyue hurriedly spoke: "I think..."
"Oh, Little Divine Doctor Mu, you are a high disciple of Divine Doctor Jun, you must not be deceived by this woman!"
Dr. Hua put on a righteous posture and persuaded earnestly. "Since ancient times, doctors have mostly been men; this was arranged by heaven long ago. Women have long hair and short knowledge, and are timid. Let alone learning medicine, they would scream and faint at the sight of blood, so what surgery are we talking about? She is simply talking nonsense!"
Hearing this, Mu Shanyue and Wen Shiyuan frowned.
Du Ruo looked at him with sympathy. "Dr. Hua, you are so pitiful..."
Pitiful?
Dr. Hua was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Du Ruo began to count on her fingers. "With Dr. Hua's age and status, your family should be full of wives and concubines, and children and grandchildren, right? Even if it's one wife and three concubines, plus daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters, there should be a dozen or twenty women, right?"
"A dozen or twenty women, not counting the maids and servants, wouldn't Dr. Hua be living in screams every day? Wouldn't someone be fainting at home every day?"
She smiled and said: "After all, women, there are always a few days every month when they see blood."
Dr. Hua: "..."
Pfft, Wen Shiyuan burst out laughing.
Well retorted!
This old man Hua is really something. If you want to talk about medical skills, talk about medical skills; why bring up men and women?
Now it's good, he kicked an iron plate.
Mu Shanyue couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect this Mrs. Jiang to not only have unique insights but also a sharp tongue.
Sigh, if only the Little Junior Sister could be this clever...
Dr. Hua was angry from embarrassment. "Anyway, I don't agree with operating on the patient!"
"What is being discussed so lively?" The Prince of Yu, Zongzheng Yun, walked over, his handsome face full of curiosity. "Tell me about it too."
Dr. Hua was immediately energized.
He immediately repeated what he just said, and at the end, he curled his lips and said: "Your Highness, tell me, what medical skills can a woman understand? I think it's purely making trouble!"
Zongzheng Yun looked at Du Ruo.
Du Ruo lowered her head, looking like she didn't dare to look up.
Zongzheng Yun withdrew his gaze and touched his chin. "I think it's okay to let her try. How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Anyway, the patient is already blind, so treat a dead horse as a living horse; maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
"But Your Highness, if it's not cured, but the foundation is damaged, or even died due to infection, how will she compensate?"
Dr. Hua was anxious. "That's a living human life!"
Zongzheng Yun didn't like hearing this.
"Compensate? Why compensate?" He smiled half-heartedly. "If I remember correctly, these patients all came crying and begging to come, and they all signed a disclaimer. If cured, no money is collected from them; if they die, just buy them a coffin. That's right, isn't it?"
This...
Dr. Hua was speechless all of a sudden. ===== CHAPTER 350 =====
