Chapter: 1221

The doctor pressed his lips and said nothing.

The speed at which the blood clot moved was indeed much faster than they had expected. They had been treating it for one and a half months, but it still hadn't dissolved completely.

"Tell me, what will happen if the blood clot continues to move?"

Carson asked the question in everyone's mind.

“Well. .

" The doctor hesitated.

It wasn't hard to tell why the doctor was acting like that. After all, it was Victor he was treating. If he got mad, the doctor would be doomed.

Carson looked at the intern who stood with her notebook behind the doctor.

"You, tell me."

The intern, who hadn't realized she was being addressed at first, was stunned. She looked at her teacher subconsciously and adjusted her glasses nervously.

“The brain structure is very complicated and remains a mystery to us. There are countless nerves in one's brain, even the slightest change of one nerve could affect the whole body."

"Cut the crap. I didn't ask for a lecture."

"Okay. We have checked the cases in recent years and found that when the blood clot moved to the patients' nerves, some patients lost their sense of smell, while a few were even paralyzed."

So, in the worst-case scenario, Victor would be paralyzed?

Although the intern said it very carefully, the word ‘paralyzed’ made everyone in the room silent.

"Mr. Scott, Mr. Sullivan, although we can't guarantee that the blood clot will not cause paralysis, the chance of it happening is still very low. We have checked many cases and out of them, there was only one patient who got paralyzed." The doctor rushed through the words hoping to brighten the situation.

There was only one case, but that didn't mean it wouldn't happen again.

Carson remained silent, not knowing what to think.

Sweat appeared on the intern's forehead. She looked at the expression on Victor's face while carefully avoiding eye contact.

Victor's eyes darkened.

"Can the blood clot be removed through surgery?"

"Not yet." The doctor paused and shook his head.

“Don't worry, Mr.

Sullivan. We will watch it carefully. Once we are able to perform the surgery, we will."

"Didn't you say that only one patient was paralyzed by this?" Carson frowned.
