Preparation of a 19th century skull with large facial tumor, graphite pencil, by @claire_carswell
Thunderclouds- Chapter 2
Midoriya Inko had been visiting Toshinori ever since her mistake got him into the hospital. Her mistake had been falling asleep at the steering wheel. She had been exhausted, barely even capable of keeping her eyes open. She had absolutely missed the traffic light turning red when she dozed off. Next thing she knew, she had slammed her car into another car and she had sent it rolling with the impact. Since when had she begun to drive so quickly?
All fatigue forgotten, she had gottan out of her car and ran over to the other vehicle, fearing that she had killed its passengers. She saw someone trying to get the front door to open as the flames began to eat up the car. She wrenched the door open with strength she didn't know she had in her, gritting her teeth as she dragged the injured man out. She could never forget the tortured expression on his face as she dragged him towards her car, trying to put a stop to the bleeding. But the wound on his side was huge, and soon her hands were covered in his blood, trembling as she pressed a soaked jacket to the wound. She had called 911 and screamed into the phone that they needed an ambulance and firefighters to come as soon as possible, but she didn't know how long it would be before the other car blew up due to the fire reaching the oil.
"Hey, what's going on?!" she heard someone shout. She looked around to see people out on the street, some of them already trying to put out the fire. A hand gripped her wrist just as the sirens arrived. She looked down at the man to find that his eyes were wide and pained as he tried to hold on to conciousness.
"I'm so sorry," Inko sobbed quietly. Hands pulled her away from him. "I'm so sorry," she watched as they loaded him into the ambulance. "I'm so sorry." she collapsed onto her knees, sobbing. First it had been the bone cancer, and now she had nearly killed someone?
"Miss, are you hurt?" hands wrapped around her, gently shaking her. She shook her head. But she was hurt. Shame and guilt etched deeply in her, accompanying the pain of her situation. She covered her eyes and doubled over, sobbing.
"I'm so sorry… "
She went to visit him. She went everyday to make sure that her money was paying the right treatment and that the man was getting his wounds treated. The wounds she had given him. He was unconscious, his entire torso and left arm covered in bandages. According to the doctor, one of his lungs had been badly injured, and he had had to receive and alarming amout of stitches. His arm was boken and so was his right foot.
Inko had never felt so much guilt before.
She sat next to him at his bedside, attentive to any sign that meant that he would wake up. The only noises were the steady beeping of the life monitor. Sometimes he would twitch one of his fingers, or just shift a tiny, little bit. Otherwise, it was always silent. Inko only left his bedside at mealtimes or whenever she had to get her own treatment. She knew she might have to go through the surgery, but there was a month between her and it. And so the days went by, but the man didn't wake up. She had gotten his name, Yagi Toshinori, from the doctor. She always wondered what she would tell him when he woke up;
Hi there! I am the person who nearly killed you! I am also the person who saved you and is paying for your treatment!
I am so sorry for nearly getting you killed.
I really should have tried to stay up at the steering wheel, right? Ha ha ha, or maybe I shouldn't have tried driving at all...
They all sounded equally terrible. He might get mad at her. No, he would most definitely get mad at her. Maybe it would help if she told him that she was the one paying for his treatment? Maybe, but he would still be mad at her. And she couldn't blame that. Thanks to her, he had gotten some terrible injuries. He would never be the same again... She exhaled a tortured sigh and got to her feet, walking to the door. She opened it and stepped out to the spot where the coffee machine had been put on. While she drank her coffee cup, she wondered about how it would all turn out. Not just this, but her life in general. She had bone cancer. She really hoped that the doctor would find a way to keep her alive. She chucked the small par cup in the bin and walked back to Yagi's ward, pushing the door open. She froze, eyes widening when he turned his head to peer at her.
Hours later, she replayed the conversation they had had. Unlike in her fantasies, he hadn't been mad at him. Not one bit. He had looked absolutely drained of energy, tired, exhausted... there wasn't a proper word for how he really looked. She sat by the entrance of the ward, foot tapping on the tiled floor and a cup of coffee held in her hand as she waited for the doctor to come back out. When he finally did, she stood.
"Do you think I could go speak with him?" she asked.
"I think he could do with some patience. Alert me if anything happens, please." he said. She nodded and watched him stride down the corridor. Then she took a deep breath and turned the door knob, pushing the door open. She found him sitting up on his beg, a magazine in his hands. He turned his head a little so see her.
"Is it okay if I…?" she trailed off, trying not to get her hands to tremble so much. She didn't want to spill coffee all over the floor.
Yagi let the magazine drop on his lap. "I could do with some company." he said with a small nod. Inko quietly shut the door and walked to his bedside, taking a seat on the chair that the doctor had probably been occupying not long ago. He tried moving into a better position as to see her better, but he hissed with pain when he tried.
"It's f-fine!" Inko stuttered. "I-I can just move myself."
"Thanks." He said. She moved the chair farther away so that he could see her without having to turn his head sideways.
"I am really sorry." she whispered, holding the coffee cup with both trembling hands, looking away from the injuries she had caused. Even his face was scratched, his golden-yellow bangs of hair messy.
"It's fine." he said. "Doctor Iida told me you were paying for my treatment..."
"The least I can do for you." she said.
"I am really grateful for your help. Really. I wouldn't be here if you hadn't pulled me out from the car. I honestly didn't think I would make it." he said. Inko kept herself from immediately answering by sipping a bit of coffee.
"I feel asleep at the wheel." she said quietly, looking at her feet. "I was exhausted. I am usually a lot more careful, but... it just happened. And I really, really regret it. I shouldn't have decided to drive home. Then you wouldn't be here."
"It was a mistake." Yagi said. Inko looked up at his thin face, tears welling at her eyes.
"I feared you would be mad at me for that. I expected it. Somehow, this makes me feel worse." she sniffed, wiping at her eyes. "I don't deserve your kindness."
"Miss, I can't say I am happy about you crashing into me, but I can't say I am not happy that you were brave to pull me to safety." Yagi said, "So, with all due respect, please move on. What's done is done."

I mentioned that my 30-year-old husband developed a benign bone tumor in his eye socket late last year. He documented the whole process through photos for anyone who is interested in weird medical stuff.
Probably don’t click on the link if you’re squeamish about disfiguration or post-surgical photos.
Craziest bone tumor in an old cow skeleton today! That joint must have been something. Took me a while to figure out what I was looking at when I first saw it.
Yoo Ah In's Agency Responds On His Bone Tumor: "He Has No Major Health Issues" http://www.hellokpop.com/news/yoo-ah-in-updates-health/
Chondrosarcoma of the finger as a result of Ollier’s disease. Ollier disease is a rare condition that results in benign intraosseous cartilaginous tumours (called enchondroma) forming near growth plate cartilage. In this particular case the chondrosarcoma (a form of bone cancer) may have resulted from an untreated enchondroma, and ultimately the second finger required amputation.
Bone Tumor Treatment in India with Edhacare
Bone tumors are abnormal growths that develop within the bones. These tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). While benign tumors usually do not spread to other parts of the body, malignant bone tumors can be dangerous if not treated on time. Fortunately, with medical advancements and expert specialists, bone tumor treatment in India has become one of the most successful and affordable options in the world.
Understanding Bone Tumors
A bone tumor occurs when cells within a bone begin to grow uncontrollably. Some tumors develop directly in the bone (primary tumors), while others spread to the bone from different organs (secondary tumors). The most common symptoms of a bone tumor include:
Persistent pain or swelling in the affected area
A lump or unusual mass in or near the bone
Fatigue and weight loss
Increased risk of fractures
When these symptoms are ignored for a long time, the condition can worsen. That’s why early diagnosis and treatment are extremely important.
Diagnosis of Bone Tumors
Doctors use several tests to diagnose a bone tumor. These include:
X-rays – to check for unusual bone growth.
MRI and CT scans – to get detailed images of the affected bone.
Bone biopsy – to confirm if the tumor is benign or malignant.
Blood tests – to assess overall health and tumor markers.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment plan is made according to the tumor type, location, and stage.
Bone Tumor Treatment Options in India
India has become a preferred destination for patients seeking bone tumor treatment because of its high-quality care and experienced doctors. Here are some of the most common treatments available:
Surgery:The main goal of surgery is to remove the tumor completely while saving as much of the healthy bone as possible. In some cases, bone reconstruction or joint replacement may be required.
Chemotherapy:Chemotherapy uses powerful medicines to destroy cancer cells. It is mostly used for malignant tumors and may be given before or after surgery.
Radiation Therapy:This treatment uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors before surgery.
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy:These are advanced treatments that attack cancer cells more precisely, reducing side effects.
Indian hospitals provide all these treatments using the latest technologies, such as robotic surgery and 3D imaging, at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.

Highly qualified doctors: India has some of the world’s best orthopedic and oncology specialists.
