"The patient has regained consciousness, but the rehabilitation may take much longer, possibly three to five years," Qiao Xi said as she looked at the others. "He's been lying down for over twenty years and has lost some functions."
"His speech and limbs will need a lot of exercise, and how much he can recover will depend on his willpower."
Qiao Xi glanced at the now conscious Liu Zongyun, feeling a tinge of regret in her heart.
All he could move now were his eyes.
But this was also a miracle in medical terms, for him to regain consciousness so soon.
"Dr. Qiao, there's another patient in our department who could use your help. We'd like to observe and learn," they said.
"The Cheng Acupuncture Technique is really sublime. No wonder so many people are concerned about the National Doctor, Cheng Han," the chief physicians exclaimed.
Qiao Xi humbly replied, "It's the advancement of modern medicine. Had he come to the hospital earlier, perhaps he could have woken up sooner."
