Jiang Licheng walked out of the operating room.
He had just completed a highly challenging surgery. The patient had been suffering for thirteen years, long possessed by a karma-ghost. Everyone in the Wraith Surgery Department knew that surgeries involving ghosts of karma were more troublesome the longer the affliction lasted, and the surgical risks were very high. Most doctors would rather suggest conservative treatment for their patients than add another death to their quota. Although there's a possibility of death with conservative treatment, it can be postponed, hence not counted in the current year's mortality rate.
"Truly impressive," Doctor Li Xiao said from behind Jiang Licheng, "Dr. Jiang, you completely excised the karma-ghost, leaving no trace of Karma Force within the patient's body. This surgery, even if Chief Lu of the Residency Department himself were to perform it, might not have done any better..."
