After visiting Teacher Yan's ward, I went to visit a young man with osteomyelitis.
Yang Ping asked the duty doctor to bring the dressing kit, and she personally changed the dressing, measuring the area of skin defect.
"I was fine after the surgery, but three months later a lump formed here, then it broke, becoming an open wound, and ever since it has been continuously discharging pus." the young man explained.
"You've undergone several surgeries, haven't you?" Yang Ping conversed with him while changing the dressing.
"Yes, I've had several debridement surgeries, some skin was cut off, some flesh too, a piece of bone removed, since the metal nail had surfaced, the doctor didn't dare to meddle with the bone anymore, they said it's all infected now, more cuts wouldn't do any good. I originally wanted to join the army, but now this has happened..." The young man appeared very dispirited, his dream had been obliterated.
