"Doctor, may I ask what his current condition is?"
"A meningioma beside the Sigmoid Sinus."
"A tumor...?"
"A benign tumor."
"So that means there's no issue...?"
"A benign tumor is still a tumor, it just causes less harm to the body, grows slower, but can still compress surrounding tissues, affecting certain functions."
"How did this happen... What's the cause?"
"The causes of brain tumors are not yet clear, but many patients have a family history."
"At present, the tumor is small, but once it invades the superior sagittal sinus, it can easily lead to obstruction of blood flow through the brain's entire venous system, causing severe cerebral edema, so it's best to surgically remove it soon."
"Will it recur after the surgery?"
"It's possible."
...
Each line of dialogue echoed in my ears like a ghost, distant and unclear.
Dazzling lights, the crisp sound of scissors, and the beeping of the heart monitor...
