"Doctor, is Ruirui... is he dying? Is there no way to save him?"
Seeing Liu Banxia remain silent with his head bowed, the patient was filled with dread.
Liu Banxia still didn't say anything. Instead, he reached directly into the trash can.
This action startled both Zhang Xiao and Xu Hui. Even with gloves on, he shouldn't be doing that! The patient just coughed up blood. Regardless of the transmission route, that blood definitely contains viruses.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Xu, I think I can identify the infecting bacteria now," Liu Banxia said after squeezing the "blood clot" in his hand.
"Huh? That's not right. This isn't a blood clot!" Xu Hui exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Banxia nodded, the corners of his mouth behind his mask curving up slightly. "This is a sputum plug. But because it's covered in blood, it looked like a blood clot to us."
