After a round of examinations, the physician concluded that the boy had not injured his eyes and that the blood was from a scrape at the corner of one eye. However, there was an injury on the back of his head, and the physician speculated that the trauma could possibly affect his vision.
"So you're saying that he might go blind?" The hunter's eyes widened in shock.
The physician nodded. "It's possible, but any further diagnosis will have to wait until he wakes up."
At his words, the hunter's wife offered, "Since it's getting dark, and this boy may only wake up tomorrow, would you mind staying the night in our house and examining him when he wakes up?"
After all, the town was a ways off from here, and it would be a waste of energy and time for him to go back and forth.
Fortunately, the hunter had found one of the most compassionate physicians in town.
