Chapter 929: Take care
The man’s stomach was cut open, but she put her hands inside before stitching the wound. Can this man really survive?
Master Guan didn’t even scream in pain. Is he dying?
Everyone guessed like this. Bai Zhi looked up and saw the blood bag almost empty. She said to Imperial Doctor Xu without looking back: “Change the blood bag, hurry up.”
Imperial Doctor Xu was already holding the blood bag in his hand. It was very easy to withdraw the needle, but how he will insert the needle?
Bai Zhi said to Imperial Doctor Xu: “Don’t be nervous, it’s very simple. I said one step, you do one step. You don’t need to pull out the needle, just change the blood bag.”
Under Bai Zhi’s step-by-step guidance, the blood bag was finally replaced. Seeing the bright red blood dripping into Master Guan’s body from the thin tube, Imperial Doctor Xu breathed a sigh of relief and saw Master Guan turned his eyes to look at him. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn’t make a sound.
Bai Zhi said to Imperial Doctor Xu: “He wants you to treat his grandson. His grandson has a leg fracture and now he has passed out of pain. You can treat him first.”
Imperial Doctor Xu hasn’t encountered such a case for a long time now. In the point of view of imperial doctors like him, a fracture was just a minor injury.
Fortunately, there were still some medicines and splints in his medicine box for such a case like this.
Master Guan was so grateful that tears appeared in his eyes.
Imperial Doctor Xu prepared things but didn’t treat the child immediately. Instead, he turned back to face Bai Zhi: “Miss Bai, if I don’t ask clearly about this, I’m afraid I can’t concentrate on treating the child.”
Bai Zhi was carefully stitching up Master Guan’s wound, without raising her head, “Just ask if you have any question.”
Imperial Doctor Xu glanced at Master Guan and asked Bai Zhi: “Not only you stitch his wounds, but you also put your hands into his stomach, but I don’t think he feels any pain at all. Even if you use anesthetic medicine, it’s impossible for him not to feel pain at all, right?”
Chinese anesthetic medicine did have anesthetic effects, but how can it be compared with modern anesthesia?
Bai Zhi said: “I used a special anesthetic medicine. If you use this anesthetic, his whole body will not feel any pain. After two hours, the effect of the medicine will disappear. By then, he will feel the pain.”
Imperial Doctor Xu suddenly realized that she still used anesthesia, but this anesthesia was different from what he usually used. This was a good thing. With this anesthetic medicine, the patient’s pain can be relieved and the doctors will have a lot less trouble during treatment.
Imperial Doctor Xu went to Young Master Guan’s side to treat him. He fixed his bones and put on a splint. When the bone was being set, it was naturally painful, so the child woke up in pain and kept twisting his body while crying. The medicine boy, who came with Imperial Doctor Xu, kept pressing the child. The two idle stewards of the Guan Family also stepped forward to help. Only then they were able to hold the child firmly.
Master Guan finally felt relieved when he saw his little grandson was still so strong. With such strength, he would live a worry-free life.
Bai Zhi said to him: “You must be tired, you can sleep now. Take a good rest, I will take care of your grandson.”
Master Guan was still awake now, thanks to his tenacity. But when Bai Zhi told him that he can rest, his sleepiness is immediately overwhelmed him.
When Bai Zhi finished suturing Master Guan’s wound, Imperial Doctor Xu also finished fixing the child’s leg. As soon as he finished, he put down the things in his hand immediately. He didn’t try to clean up his things, instead, he rushed to Master Guan’s bed.
Looking at the stitched wound on Master Guan’s belly, his tragic situation just now disappeared. It’s just, the centipede-like scar on his belly and the blood stains under his body were still quite a shock.
