Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 198 Doing It Herself Again

After another day, the convention hall became even more lively.

Why was it so lively?

Of course, it was because Henry was setting up a bet again.

After four days, the competition between the traditional and modern medicine teams reached its climax.

Both teams had both performed two surgeries.

The reporters waited at the entrance of the operating theater for interviews every day.

Currently, everyone only knew that the traditional medicine team was faster than the modern medicine team in

both surgeries. But no one knew how effective the surgeries were

Even reporters who tried to broach the topic were cleverly turned away.

As if trying to create a suspenseful atmosphere, Jonathan said that by the end of the competition, everyone would

know which side provided the more effective treatment.

The more suspenseful something was, the more restless the spectators became.

When they heard that the bet had started, everyone placed their bets excitedly.

This bet was different from the last time. Many people were optimistic about Jonathan. Therefore, the odds of the

traditional medicine team winning was slightly higher..

But how could Gwen stand the fact that her team was no longer the favorite? She directly bet 15 million on the

modern medicine team.

That was all the savings she had saved up over the years.

Seeing that Gwen had bet 15 million, Sybil wanted to support Annalise. Boldly, she bet 75 million dollars. Not only

did Sybil place her wager, but she also provoked Gwen. “Come on, Miss Raven. Raise the stakes. won’t you? You’re

confident in winning, anyway. Do you not have enough money? Why don’t I lend you some?”

When Gwen heard Sybil’s provocation, she felt extremely upset.

So, why did Gwen want to marry into a wealthy family?

If not for the fact that Sybil was a daughter of the Xander family, she would be nothing. She did nothing all day, and

she was incompetent.

Gwen ignored Sybil. After placing her bet, she left the venue with her chin slightly raised. She still had to rush to the

hospital to perform surgery.

Patients 3 and 4 were scheduled for today. They were leukemia and rheumatism patients, respectively.

Both patients were scheduled for surgery.

Leo was the chief surgeon for the surgery of the leukemia patient. He performed a bone marrow transplant. He

was considered lucky to have found a match.

Another doctor from the modern medicine team treated the rheumatism patient. Gwen went to assist in the

surgery.

Firstly, she wanted to help. Secondly, she wanted to know who the chief surgeon on the traditional medicine team

was and what method they used.

Did they also choose to perform surgery?

If the traditional medicine team chose to treat all five groups of patients with surgery, how could they be

considered traditional medicine practitioners?

The traditional medicine team suddenly announced to the reporters that Patients 3, 4, and 5 would be treated that

day.

The leukemia patient on their side had also found a match. He would be treated with a bone marrow transplant.

The rheumatism patient would be treated with warm incense. Patient 5, who had a cervical spinal injury, would

undergo a bone correction procedure.

Gwen could not help but laugh when she heard Jonathan announce his team’s treatment plan to the reporters.

Even though their diagnosis might sound straightforward, the rheumatoid and spinal injury patients were not like

any other patient with the same conditions.

The rheumatism patient’s condition was not much better than Old Madam Zeller’s. It was a long-term illness. In the

words of a traditional medicine practitioner, the patient was terminally ill.

Besides, the spinal injury patient’s condition was so severe that the pressure on the nerves caused the patient’s

entire body to be paralyzed. Moreover, their cerebral vessels were narrow. The chronic narrowing of those vessels

had already formed many blood clots. There was no way to bypass or correct those.

In this situation, if the patient did not receive a stent during surgery, it would not be long before the patient had a

complete cerebral infarction and died.

Bone correction?

Was that a joke? Jonathan had been a doctor for so many years. Didn’t he know that if he were careless, the patient

might die on the operating table?

Forget it. She could not wait for them to kill the patient, anyway.

Both sides began their treatment.

The first was surgery.

The leukemia patient underwent a bone marrow transplant surgery.

Jonathan appointed Ludwig to be the chief surgeon.

Ludwig was very humble in front of Jonathan. He was afraid he could not do it.

Jonathan told him to be at ease and perform the surgery without worries.

During Ludwig’s surgery, Jonathan guided him throughout the surgery. Ludwig was worried that he would not be

able to perform well, but after receiving Jonathan’s guidance, he felt that his skills as a chief surgeon had improved

by leaps and bounds.

After this surgery, he felt the experience was more useful than observing ten surgeries. He was very excited. He

told himself that if he had the chance in the future, he would work with Jonathan.

Jonathan was working in Metropolis Hospital. Ludwig was determined to find a way to get hired there.

After finishing the surgery on the leukemia patient, they completed the surgical part of the treatment plan. It was

because they did not need surgery for the rheumatoid and spinal injury patients.

In the treatment room of the cervical spinal injury patient…

The patient was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, groaning in pain.

Perhaps because he was in too much pain, but even his grunts were feeble. It sounded as if he did not have long to

live.

Graham looked at the patient and frowned.

The patient was old, and his entire face wrinkled when he frowned. Graham asked Annalise, “Are we going to fix his

bone? Will it work?”

Hector was also worried. “Anna, why don’t we choose a safer method? We’ll operate first, then set the bones and

treat him with acupuncture.”

If it were only a minor cervical spinal injury, they would choose traditional medicine techniques. After all, they were

traditional medicine practitioners through and through.

However, the patient’s condition was too severe. They did not even dare to set his bones. How could Annalise be

confident enough to do it at such a young age?

Normally, taking a little risk was not unreasonable, but this was a competition between traditional and modern

medicine.

If the bone-setting procedure failed and caused the patient’s condition to become more serious, it would directly

affect the outcome of their competition.

They were not being overly practical, but the result of the competition would affect the development prospects of

traditional medicine. They wanted to develop traditional medicine and educate more people about the benefits of

traditional medicine.

“Stop talking.” Annalise said.

After all, they were her elders. If anyone else were to nag her in such a situation, she would have told them to shut

up.

She held the scan and compared it to the patient’s cervical spine. The physiological curvature had straightened

completely. In the third to the seventh cervical spine, four discs protruded from the vertebrae, and they were very

pronounced, narrowing the gaps between the vertebrae.

In such a situation, the patient was in a lot of pain. He would be dizzy for a long time, not to mention that it would

cause a series of thrombosis problems.

In addition, due to the severity of the cervical injury, the patient’s entire body was affected. He was already

paralyzed.

Annalise put down the scan and prepared to set the bone.

Graham and Hector became even more anxious. “Anna, why don’t we discuss this plan again?”

“Silence!” Annalise’s tone was sterner than before.

After Annalise finished speaking, she stood on the other side of the patient’s legs. She grabbed the patient’s legs

and pulled them backward.

“Ah…” The patient screamed in pain.

When Graham and Hector heard him scream, they looked at each other and became even more anxious: Their

eyes revealed a solemn expression.

Annalise walked to the patient’s side and suddenly pressed hard on the patient’s waist.

“Ah-“The patient screamed again.
