Today, I'm Going to Spend the Billionaire's Hundred Million Again-Chapter 502: Not Recommended
Just now, Shen Jue told the taxi driver the address.
"Going to see a doctor." Shen Jue replied to Lin Bufan’s question while checking information on his phone.
Lin Bufan acknowledged with an "oh" and didn’t ask anything further.
A little over a minute later, Shen Jue suddenly handed his phone to Lin Bufan, pointing at a person on it, and asked Lin Bufan, "If you were a girl, would you be scared seeing legs like this?"
Lin Bufan took a closer look and immediately recognized the person on the phone screen as this year’s Disabled Sports Meet long-distance running champion.
This champion had a pair of prosthetic legs from the knees down.
Lin Bufan was not familiar with this, not knowing what material it was, but anyway, these legs, at first glance, were like a pair of scythes, which could be a bit frightening.
Yet such a pair of prosthetic legs allowed this person who lost both legs to stand and walk upright again, and become a long-distance running champion.
"It’s okay, at first glance it’s scary, but after a while, it’s nothing, you get used to it." Lin Bufan replied sincerely, "With pants and shoes on, you can barely tell any difference from ordinary people, it’s actually quite good."
Shen Jue took back his phone, asked no more questions, and said nothing further.
Those legs, capable of running, jumping, and letting one stand and walk upright again, are indeed impressive.
An hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the place Shen Jue mentioned.
Getting out of the car, Lin Bufan found out that it was a high-end private hospital in the area, specializing in orthopedics according to the introduction at the entrance. Fifteen minutes later, Lin Bufan followed Shen Jue into the director’s office and was stunned when he saw Shen Jue hand over the photo he had shown him earlier and stated his intention. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Shen Jue asked the doctor, "Can I have the part below my knees amputated and fitted with this kind of prosthesis?"
This question not only shocked Lin Bufan but also the doctor.
With Shen Jue’s permission, the doctor rolled up his trousers and examined his leg, feeling puzzled.
"Your leg shows no signs of deterioration, as I see it, there’s no need to discard it for such a prosthesis." The doctor advised Shen Jue, "I can see that you usually work hard to keep your lower limb muscles trained, so it shouldn’t impact your life too greatly, right?"
"It does." Shen Jue replied, "It makes it so I can’t stand up."
The doctor paused slightly.
In his decades of practice, he had never encountered a disabled patient who actively requested amputation for prosthetics.
The human mind is peculiar like this; even if the lower limb is disabled, completely numb, one would rather it stay than abandon it.
Perhaps, in everyone’s heart, there is such a wish.
As long as there is no amputation, one is still a whole person.
Even as a doctor, he could understand such a mindset.
No one would really have the heart to say such words.
Though amputation could enable one to stand again with prosthetics through training, it also inevitably carries great risks.
No surgery is zero-risk.
Of course, the potential complications after amputation are the most lethal.
Moreover, the training with prosthetics is so arduous that without a strong enough willpower, almost no one can truly reach the level of walking similar to ordinary people through training.
The most important thing is, amputation and fitting prosthetics do not mean you can truly live as freely as ordinary people.
