When Meng Qingxue heard the news, she rushed to the hospital with Mu Yancheng. When she reached the door of the ward, she pushed it open and rushed in. She saw Chu He lying sickly on the bed, her pale and weak face devoid of any vitality.
It was as if her body had bee an empty shell.
Meng Qingxue dashed to the bedside anxiously. Yet, all she saw was Chu He lying on the bed, pletely unconscious. Even though she had fainted, her brows were tightly furrowed as if she was immersed in great pain.
The doctor was holding a clipboard by the bed, writing something silently.
Meng Qingxue walked over and lowered her voice. She asked in a panic, “Doctor, what happened to her? Why does she look so weak? What happened?”
When the doctor heard this, he turned around and glanced at them. After scrutinizing them for a while, he asked, “Are you the patient’s family member?”
“Yes!”
Meng Qingxue replied without thinking.
The doctor nodded.
“Three hours ago, the patient was sent to the hospital. After a checkup, we found that her body was very weak. Our preliminary observation is that because she did not rest well for a long time, she is pletely exhausted. Furthermore, she has severe anemia. After performing a CT scan on her brain, we discovered that there is a large blood clot in the patient’s head, which is suppressing her cerebral nerves.”
“…Is it serious?” Meng Bixue asked worriedly.
“As the patient’s family member, aren’t you unaware of her condition? It’s very serious. She needs to undergo surgery immediately to remove the blood clot.” The doctor was a little surprised.
Meng Qingxue shook her head. “I only know that because of an accident, her head was severely injured and she lost all her memories.”
“The patient has amnesia?”
“Yes!”
The doctor went silent for a moment before saying, “It’s probably because the blood clot is pressing against her nerves. I suggest that she undergo the surgery immediately.”
Meng Qingxue gasped in obvious shock.
“Surgery?”
Her hands started trembling uncontrollably. “Don’t tell me you need to perform a craniotomy?”
From what she knew, all brain surgeries involved craniotomy.
However, such surgery was too risky!
“When the time es, we’ll suggest a few surgery plans. We’ll also have to see the exact location of the blood clot. If it’s in the medulla or the internal capsule, it will definitely necessitate a craniotomy. The risk is also very high. However, if the blood clot’s location is relatively shallow, we can also perform a minimally invasive surgery to remove the blood clot through ventriculoscopy.”
“A minimally invasive surgery? You mean a cut on the surface of the head?”
The doctor nodded. “Yeah, it’s vaguely what I meant.”
“What if she doesn’t undergo the surgery?”
“This… There are countless possibilities, but we can’t be sure of the specifics yet. Some patients, who insisted on not undergoing surgery, have died from sudden brain hemorrhage as their blood clots were located in a dangerous spot, which pressed against their nerves and skulls. There are also cases where the blood clot slowly disappeared after more than ten years. Everyone’s body is different, so the situations they encounter differ too. However, to be safe, I’d still remend surgery. If the blood clot presses on other nerves in the future, it’ll be very difficult to predict the unknown risks.”
Meng Qingxue clenched her fists and frowned slightly. She then asked, “How long will it take to prepare for the surgery?”
“If we’re well prepared, the surgery can be carried out the day after tomorrow. However, we’ll require a signature from a family member.”
Meng Qingxue glanced at Chu He, who was lying on the bed. Turning her gaze back to the doctor, she made up her mind and nodded. “Then, please prepare for the surgery!”
