"Old pal, why are you making such a fuss about receiving a pennant?" Manstein sat beside the bed, inspecting the MRI films in the sunlight coming through the window.
Such a large herniation of the lumbar disc is extremely rare, and there is also a second-degree spondylolisthesis.
"Getting old, all the parts are severely worn, what can be done? Aisha will have to trouble you these days," Brian sighed.
Manstein comforted him not to worry: "There are doctors and nurses, rest assured."
"You need to think it over, if you really don't want to have surgery here, don't force yourself, I can send you back to Sweden." Manstein needed to make things clear to prevent his old pal from feeling distressed and regretting later.
Brian immediately said, "I've thought it through, I will definitely have surgery here. Where else could the medical skills be better than here? I've seen the capabilities of those old chaps in Sweden."
