SURVIVORS
Chaptre 99. Operation Plan
The next day.
The healer came after Mr. Felix enjoyed Silvia's medicinal porridge. Glenn explained about the examination and treatment his father was undergoing.
The old physician nodded in understanding.
"May I meet them young master? I am willing to learn something new" he asked.
"of course. They're in the reading room. Let me introduce you." Glenn took the physician away.
In the reading room, Silvia and Robert were arguing about something. They stopped when the door of the reading room opened and looked at Glenn. The doctor came in behind him.
"This is the Michfur physician. He wants to meet you." Glenn introduced.
"Oh, hello. Salam.know. I'm Chandra's doctor," said Chandra's gracious doctor.
They're acquainted. Then discuss the findings obtained by Chandra during the examination and conclusion of the disease. Dr. Chandra explains his method of examination to the Michfur physician who listens attentively.
"How can a man live after his kidneys have been taken?" tanyanya could not believe it.
"Because there are 2 human kidneys, left and right. As long as that one is healthy, then we'll be fine." replied Dr. Chandra.
Finally Dr. Chandra explains the details of human anatomy. Silvia was amazed by Chandra's skill at drawing. While healers Michfur and Glenn are more amazed because they do not think that there are people who know clearly so they can easily draw shapes and positions in the body.
"You're very good at drawing shapes. Do you operate on your patients often?" ask physician Michfur carefully.
"A doctor must of course memorize the shape and location of human organs in the body. That's a basic lesson." Doctor Chandra smiled.
In the end, they teamed up in Mr. Felix's treatment. Michfur's input on various herbs, is very meaningful for Chandra doctors who do not really understand herbal medicine. While the healer also learned a lot of new medical knowledge and also organs of the human body.
Not felt, one week they have collaborated. Mr. Felix was happy to see their cohesiveness. Moreover, because now he no longer felt bored taking medicine. Because the medicine has been mixed in the food and drink.
Looks change in eye color and skin Mr. Felix. The yellowish color has faded. His cough started to ripple, but his shortness of breath still lingered.
Silvia painstakingly cleaned the wound on Mr. Felix's back. Day ten, the wound finally dried up. Everyone was happy to see it. Just waiting for the good results from his kidneys.
Occasionally other team members come to visit and chat. Robert also returned several times to Glenn's residence to accompany the others.
Day 12, Mr. Felix complained of extreme pain. Because it has been monitoring every day, starting from urine, skin conditions, nausea and vomiting that often occur and others. Finally, Chandra's doctor said that maybe his left kidney is getting worse and can no longer be maintained.
Glenn's family discussed kidney surgery. And it's not a simple thing for Dr. Chandra. Operations without equipment are extremely dangerous. They don't even have a scalpel, needles, anesthetic drugs and antibiotics. It's a big job. Dr. Chandra explains frankly the condition and its worst possibility.
"His Majesty the King arrives." a notification is heard from the front door of the room before it opens.
Everyone is surprised. But Glenn immediately crouched down and lowered his head. Doctor Chandra, the healer and the waiter crouched down in their respective places.
The sound of footsteps could be heard entering the large room.
"May your majesty live a long life." Simultaneously came everyone's cry as the footsteps stopped in the middle of the room.
"thank you. Arise up. I want to see uncle. How are you doing now uncle?"
The king approached the bed. Mr. Felix tried to smile.
"As usual my niece. Don't worry."
The king nodded his head. Smiling at mister Felix while patting the back of his swollen-looking hand. The king felt his uncle's time was near.
"Uncle, you're still as brave as you taught me to ride and shoot," he comforted as he clasped the palm.
"Isn't that aunty?" his head turned towards Glenn's mother who remained smiling gently.
"Your uncle always looked handsome. Even on his bed. That's why I love him," he said sincerely.
"Hahahaa. aunty was right. Uncle must stay up. Don't worry about me anymore. There's Glenn who's always been supporting me."
Mr. Felix nodded and smiled. He looks exhausted and short of breath. Seeing that, the king released his hand and stood by the bed.
"It seems I'm making uncle tired. Rest up. Auntie, you get some rest." The king walked to the exit. Before he reached the door, he turned around.
"Glenn, healer, come with me" he commanded.
"Thank you for your visit and blessings."
There was a simultaneous sound from Mother Glenn and the servants as the king continued his steps.
Glenn and the healer followed from behind. Since there was nothing to do, Chandra's doctor then allowed Mr. Felix to rest.
"I'll be in the room. If anything happens, call me" said Dr. Chandra.
Mr. Glenn nodded weakly.
**
Doctor Chandra who heard the knock on the door of his room, immediately stood up from the chair.
The waiter at the door.
"Master, called your highness to the study," said the servant.
"Good."
Doctor Chandra follows his steps towards the master Felix's study used by the king.
Once inside, Chandra's doctor greeted Glenn, then bowed to the king.
"Sit down" he commanded.
Everyone is now sitting in front of the king.
"They've said Felix's condition. And also say that you might be able to cure it by removing the damaged organ. Can you guarantee uncle will be healthy again?" ask king.
"Your Majesty, if the operation is carried out in our world, then the possibility of health is again very large. But if it is done here without adequate equipment, I am worried that there will be an infection of the wounds we make. No sterile room, no scalpel, no blood supply for emergencies, no breathing apparatus, heart monitor, no syringe, no anesthesia, no anesthesia, antibiotics and the basic things of kidney removal surgery. So in my opinion, this is a big thing and it takes a long time to prepare." explains Dr. Chandra as it is.
The king was silent hearing that.
"So, even though we're willing to have your uncle operated on, you still need time to prepare the tools. Also still unable to give a guarantee of safety. Isn't that free?"
The voice of the king grew higher. Doctor Chandra was nervous.
"But at least we try first, right? How could I just look at you? If there's a way, then try." Glenn insistent.
"But this friend of yours doesn't even have the tools for the operation. What do you need to open uncle's stomach?" ask the king to get upset.
"To open the patient's body, it takes a scalpel, but..."
"It's a knife, put it on."
Dr Chandra explained that the king had placed a small dagger from his waist on the table. Everyone was surprised to see it.
"For surgery, it can't be just any knife. Glenn give me the paper, I'll draw the shape of the knife I need. I hope you can prepare it." Doctor Chandra said.
Glenn immediately stood up and grabbed the paper and pen. Give it to Dr. Chandra.
Doctor Chandra began drawing some form of the knife he wanted. Also sewing needles, as well as fine and strong threads. Dr Chandra also asked for hollow needles such as syringes and tweezers.
After seeing the paper, the King. Glenn and the physician Michfur were amazed to see the tools that Chandra had drawn.
"Make as much as possible. Then prepare an empty room. Remove all curtains, remove the carpet, clean from anything that is not important. sterilize the room. Put the table for operation in the middle of the room. Try to keep the room well-lit. Prepare the fabrics, clean and sterile cotton. All of these tools must be sterile. Can it?" ask doctor Chandra.
"I'll do it." Glenn answered quickly.
The physician and the king discussed who should make the tools that Dr. Chandra needed. Then the doctor left. Now there is doctor Chandra and the king in the room.
"Can you tell me about your world? Back when Glenn and I were little, Felix's uncle used to tell me stories about a faraway land that later became a dream for me to explore. But after becoming king, that dream just got buried. Do you know this writing?"
The king took out a yellow paper from behind his breastplate. The fold of paper was opened, then pushed towards Dr. Chandra.
"This..?!" doctor Chandra was surprised to see the writing.
"What does it mean that Mr. Felix once roamed this land?" there was a light of hope on his face.
"Do you recognize this writing?" The king asked without answering.
"I'm not sure, but may I call my other friend? He's from a different country, maybe he can know this language" Chandra said.
"Call me." The king gave his permission.
Doctor Chandra asks the waiter to call Robert.
It didn't take long, Robert came. After knowing the status of the king, Robert gave his proper greetings. Then sit next to the radiant-looking Chandra doctor.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya.
"Let's see this writing." Doctor Chandra shifts the paper on the table in front of Robert.
"This..!" Robert gaped.
"This is a common letter used in eastern Europe. Who wrote it?" ask Robert not to believe it.
"That means my guess is correct. This is an article from eastern europe. Russia and its surroundings," doctor Chandra smiled sumringah.
