This time, the woman understood. She muttered, "So, surgery is needed..." Then she looked at Du Heng again. "Doctor, aren't you a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine? Why do you also use machines for examinations?"
Du Heng sighed and could only explain once more, "Injuries like bone fractures and muscle strains are all under the skin, enveloped by muscle. We can determine where you're injured and what the problem is, but we can't determine the severity of the injury. In your case, if the medication dosage doesn't match the severity of your injury, you could end up with a permanent disability. Besides, who decreed that traditional Chinese medicine doctors can't use machines for examinations? Especially for bone injuries, machine examinations are definitely more reliable than human assessment."
The woman finally stopped asking questions, and Du Heng could proceed with writing the inspection sheet in peace.
