275 Recovery (2/2)

Liu Weichen's body swayed slightly. He asked, ”Why?”

”Your Achilles tendon has generally recovered, but it hasn't fully recovered yet. There's still a possibility of it getting injured again. Therefore, the risk of your Achilles tendon rupturing again still exists. So, there's no need for you to join the competition.” Ling Ran gave him a detailed explanation.

”But Academician Zhu said he's allowed to join the competition,” one of the men in black suddenly answered—he was in the same car.

Liu Weichen pretended to stop him and looked as if he did not succeed.

Wang Haiyang was not happy. He said, ”Ling Ran has given his opinion, Academician Zhu has given his too. You can compare the suggestions yourselves. You own your body. Doctors are responsible for treatment, we don't work as life mentors.”

It may have sounded a little rude, but Wang Haiyang did not really care. He was a chief physician in Yun Hua Hospital. Liu Weichen would not go to him for a consultation, and he would not get any money from Liu Weichen. From Wang Haiyang's perspective, Liu Weichen had totally profited from getting this consultation by escorting them with his Lincoln Stretch Limousine.

However, Liu Weichen smiled in response to Wang Haiyang's provocation. ”What you just said sounds similar to what Doctor Ling said in the ward the other day.”

”Heh heh.”

Liu Weichen sounded a little sentimental when he said, ”At that time, we were making a lot of noise in the ward. When Doctor Ling came for a ward round, he talked to me. I believe the general meaning behind his words was that we have the right to be wayward. Doctors only provide us medical support, and they don't care if we go looking for trouble…”

Liu Weichen could not help but sigh.

Back then, he was at his weakest.

His surgery had been completed, and it was done in a local hospital. That meant he did not have any backup anymore.

If the surgery ended and his injury could get better, his future would be what it was now, with him owning a luxurious car and having people following him everywhere. However, if his injury did not recover or became worse, his ending would be very unpredictable. Liu Weichen had seen many star athletes who held their gold medals and attended events in various malls, but that was not the worst. The worst scenario would be the inability to find any way to attend any events to boost their popularity.

Liu Weichen had actually hoped to make his ward lively in the hopes that the atmosphere could reduce his worries.

However, Ling Ran's severe warning woke him up in time.

The doctors who checked on him previously did not do what Ling Ran did.

Today, Liu Weichen had approached Ling Ran, asked him to read his MRI scans again, and even said that he trusted Ling Ran because of what happened in his ward the other day. Being straightforward was always something that people were fond of.

Wang Haiyang cast a glance at Ling Ran and said, ”Ling Ran, you should reduce the number of times you say things like this in the future. If people make a voice recording and release it, you'll easily get into trouble. Ah, young doctors like you always make mistakes easily. You need to be more careful.”

Liu Weichen felt a little uneasy, so he quickly explained, ”It's just a coincidence. No one would make a voice recording.”

Wang Haiyang only chuckled. He did not say anything else.

Liu Weichen turned around and faced Ling Ran. He then smiled bashfully and said, ”Doctor Ling, earlier, you mentioned that I couldn't join the competition. Is there any part that's healing badly?”

”Your healing's good.” Ling Ran stopped for a while before he continued, ”But it isn't worth taking the risk for a competition.”

”What do you mean?”

”Academician Zhu Tongyi said you could join the competition, but he should have also given you some risk warnings, right?” Ling Ran asked.

”Yes.” Liu Weichen nodded, just as Ling Ran had expected. Liu Weichen then said, ”He told me that the probability for my Achilles tendon to rupture again is lower than 10%. But if I warm up fully, the probability for my Achilles tendon to rupture again would be even lower.”

The man in the black suit could not help but say, ”Ten percent is a very small probability, right? The possibility is too low.”

”That's the overall analysis. However, the overall analysis is used to reflect all research subjects. Once the accident occurs, the victim will have to bear the full consequences of the damage.” Ling Ran looked at Liu Weichen and said, ”Unless it's an extremely important competition, you should continue with rehabilitative training instead of joining any high-intensity competition.”

The moment he ventured into professional territory, Ling Ran became more serious as he spoke. He said, ”For Achilles tendon ruptures, repeated injuries will bring very severe effects, and you can basically think of it as putting an early end to your career.”

”I understand.” Liu Weichen's expression turned sour. He glanced at the man in black and thought for a while, but he did not say anything. He then turned to Ling Ran and said, ”Doctor Ling, thank you.”

”It's just a simple analysis.” Ling Ran waved his hand and did not take the matter to heart. The strength that athletes used in a competition was completely different from the strength they used in high-intensity training. It was even more different from the strength they used for rehabilitative training.

Currently, the effects of Plan A had been maxed out just by the fact that it allowed Liu Weichen to take part in high-intensity training. But if he wanted to join a competition, he would need to bear the risks.

If it were a competition like the Olympics, which was held once in four years, taking the risk to join it would not be a big deal. Joining competitions with some injuries had always been one of the professional risks athletes had to bear.

However, if it was just a small competition, and he still needed to take a risk that might end his career by giving it his all, it would be wise to make a different life decision.

The more Liu Weichen thought about it, the more terrified he became. When he arrived at the hotel, he thanked Ling Ran again. He then said, ”Doctor Ling, I don't need this car for the time being. You can keep the driver and car for your own use. Get some rest first, I'll visit you later.”

”All right, thank you.” Ling Ran did not reject his offer.

*Crack.*

The resident doctor, who had been drinking water all the way until he reached 220 pounds, was finally unable to help himself. He crushed the water bottle that he had just finished drinking halfway from.
