Synopsis

The chapter opens with a debate about whether to amputate a patient's leg or attempt a preservation method from the White Dragon Clinic, with accusations of manipulation against the clinic. The patient's wife chooses the preservation route, swayed by the argument that his life would be significantly impacted by amputation. During the surgery, the doctor performs debridement and temporary external fixation, but the chapter ends on a cliffhanger as the patient's finger moves despite anesthesia, raising concerns about complications.
