From Doctor Qian's professional perspective, Tong Qian's condition was not actually serious. It was simply excessive blood loss and damage to the scalp tissue. Although there were multiple fractures, those were easy to treat. The only thing that left them helpless was Tong Qian's brain.
"What happened to her brain? Was it severely injured?" Yang Jian pressed.
Doctor Qian said, "No, that isn't the reason. I examined the patient's head, and there were no particularly serious external injuries. The extensive scalp damage had not affected her brain. However, our hospital used instruments to repeatedly examine the patient's brain over several days. Strangely, no matter how we tested it, we could not detect any brain waves."
"To put it simply, the patient should be in a state of brain death. Normally, this only appears in dead people. Sorry, that may be an impolite way to put it, but that is the truth. Even vegetative patients who have been paralyzed for more than a decade still have active brain waves."
"Medically, a person is declared dead when brain activity ceases—that is, the brain death I just mentioned. But this patient is very strange. Although she is in a state of brain death, her body is maintaining normal physiological functions. If it were not for that, I think I would have already issued a death certificate."
"Doctor Qian, perhaps the patient's brain is in deep dormancy, and her brain-wave frequency is extremely low. Should we test her again?" an expert beside him asked.
Another doctor said, "We have already tested her several times. We cannot detect even the slightest brain wave. This is an unsolved medical mystery."
Yang Jian could not help frowning at that diagnosis.
This was no unsolved mystery. It was a consequence of Tong Qian being attacked by a ghost.
