The film viewing room at Kangning Hospital had an entire wall covered with LED viewing lights, now all displaying CT scans, where several bright spots could be seen, some as large as soybeans, others as small as mung beans.
Lin Jie and Hu Yuanqing had been standing in front of these CT scans for over an hour.
Hu Yuanqing rubbed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "From the scans, there are five blood clots formed from bleeding in your sister's brain. Three are not too difficult to remove, but those two..."
He sighed and shook his head, saying, "Lin Jie, you understand the risks better than anyone."
"The damage to the brain caused by surgery might not be as simple as blindness, and these clots have been in the brain for so many years, the actual situation is likely more complicated than what the scans show."
"Therefore, my recommendation is... to maintain the status quo."
