"Hey, help me push the bed into the X-ray room. I need to see how badly his leg is broken," Johann
ordered.
Although it was his friend's clinic, it was a good thing it had an X-ray room. Otherwise, he would not
know exactly what happened to Pierre's leg.
The two of them pushed Pierre toward the direction Johann pointed at.
“This is going to be hard. I didn't expect him to come in with a broken leg. I'm the only one in the clinic,
so I can't operate on him..." Johann said resignedly.
Even if the doctors and nurses here were given a day off, so all he could do was help dress Pierre's
wounds.
The clinic here did not have the license to perform surgeries, so they would not have any of the tools
needed for it either.
However, if Pierre went too long without surgery, he might have to get his leg amputated instead of
having it just be impaired.
Johann was put in a tough spot.
"Let's take an X-ray first. I believe Mr. Mallory will have a solution." Gordon smirked out of spite. What
did Pierre's broken leg have to do with him?
He was just getting tired of sitting there.
Johann followed them into the X-ray room and instructed them on how to position Pierre.
None of them had done this before, so they were quite clumsy.
Johann was a doctor, not a mover, so he did not help them move Pierre. He went into the imaging room
and asked them to go out once they were done positioning Pierre so that he could take the X-Ray.
Luckily, he had a year's experience working at MSF...
Doctors at MSF had to operate on their own, and they could not even hope for an assistant as every
doctor would be busy with all the patients flooding in from the war zones.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohann skillfully operated the machine. He was worried that Pierre might have other injuries, so he
simply scanned his entire body.
After a while, the results came out.
Only the bone in his right calf was broken, so Johann made a judgment call based on how the wound
looked.
Then, he walked out of the X-ray room.
“Dr. Park, how's Mr. Pierre?"
Johann took out the report and said, "His leg is indeed broken, and according to the X-ray, it did not just
happen a couple of days ago. So, the operation must be performed as soon as possible. If it's left
untreated for over a week, he might suffer from necrosis."
The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They thought that Gordan had broken Pierre's leg, but after what the doctor said, they definitely could
not be blamed anymore.
"What are you still standing there for? You can't make decisions for Percy, so go call him right now,"
urged Johann.
One of them took out his phone to call Percy.
"Hello," Percy answered immediately.
"Boss, Dr. Park has something to tell you." The man turned on the speakerphone and handed it to
Johann.
However, Johann did not take the phone. Instead, he talked to him while looking at the report, "It's bad.
His right calf has been fractured for some time, and if the operation is not performed within seven days,
the bone may be necrotic. If that's the case, his leg won't just be impaired. He might need to get it
amputated."
The necrotic bone might get infected and cause him excruciating pain, which would lead to amputation.
He had seen a case like this before when he was working at MSF.
The patient had suffered a fracture early in his life, but he did not undergo surgery as he did not have
the money to do so. It did not affect his daily life either.
In the end, the infection got out of control and his only option was to amputate the necrotic bone.
By then, the patient had already suffered a great deal, and he still lost his hand in the end.
Pierre knew from Johann's calm analysis that he was not messing around.
He said, "Can you carry out the operation there?"
"This is a small clinic, and we're lucky they even have an X-ray machine. I can't operate on him alone
without tools and some help," said Johann with a frown. How could he operate on Pierre alone in a
place that was not equipped for surgery?
He would not put his career on the line even if Percy was the one forcing him.
Percy frowned as he did not expect Gordan's predictions to be true.
"Please give him a simple treatment for now. I'll have someone take him back to A City, and I'll try to
find you an operating room and an assistant." What he meant was that Johann was still in charge of
operating on Pierre.
Everyone knew how capable Johann was.
Johann could not refuse, so he responded, "Alright."
After that, he took out a bunch of medicine and steel plates from the pharmacy.
He was going to use them to fix Pierre's leg.
He walked out of the pharmacy and told Percy's men, “He can't be transported back in that small car of
yours. Mr. Pierre must go back laying down, so go get a small truck, or else my efforts to fix his leg
would be in vain."
"Yes." Percy's people did not dare mess things up, so they went to get it done at once.
Johann walked into the X-Ray room and fixed Pierre's broken leg there as he could not be bothered to
move Pierre around.
"Will he be impaired?" Gordan asked.
"Not if I had fixed his leg on the first day. Not only is there a high chance that his leg will be impaired
now, but he might have uneven legs too," said Johann while at work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith Pierre's current condition, it was best to fix the leg with plaster.
However, they were already fortunate enough to find steel plates in this small clinic, so they could just
dream about finding plaster!
Impaired? Uneven legs?
Gordan looked at the unconscious Pierre. He had indeed suffered a lot in the past few days.
Not only was his leg broken, but he had also lost a lot of weight.
People would believe him if he said that Pierre was a fugitive from the slums.
His cheeks were sunken in, unlike his usual high-spirited self.
What a pity.
Gordan's eyes were pensive. Pierre reaped what he sowed.
Although Pierre had never harmed him before, he had harmed Luke and Luca, so he got what he
deserved!
Percy's men were good. They pulled up at the clinic with a small truck in half an hour.
Johann instructed them to carry Pierre to the back of thetruck, and they worked together to lift Pierre up
without a second thought.
Gordan stood at the side and watched with his arms crossed as a picture formed in his head.
Pierre looked like a pig being carried into a cart.
After Pierre was carried into the car, Johann looked at them. "Do you want to go back together?"
"We can't get on the truck. I'm afraid that only Mr. Pierre has the right to ride in the truck." Gordan and
Leroy had no intention of heading back so soon as they had booked a room for the night.
Now that they had alerted the police, they had to act out their role as tenants.
"I don't ride trucks either, so I'll go back on my own," Johann said to Percy's men. He drove here on his
own, so he did not need to follow them back to A City.
