With the conclusion of the Imperial Guard's combat training, the medical school also began to get busy.

Under Hua Tuo's guidance, the trainees began to treat the injured trainees in the fastest and most effective way.

After a series of painful screams, the Imperial Guard students helped each other out of the medical school.

After the Imperial Guard students left, Hua Tuo summoned all the medical students to the classroom.

Then, the explanation begins on how to quickly and effectively treat external injuries, including suturing and excision, and other basic surgical techniques.

At this time, the students inside the medical school, through their treatment of the Imperial Guards students during this period, gradually realized the importance and future development potential of the medical technique pioneered by Hua Tuo, and its prospects were very broad.

The attitude of the Imperial Guards students towards them was a clear indication of their character. Although they looked at them with hatred while they were being treated, the gratitude and respect in their eyes after they were cured made them very happy.

Therefore, they carefully recorded and studied every point that Hua Tuo explained.

Hua Tuo then organized everyone to discuss how to help the wounded treat their external injuries more quickly and effectively, especially soldiers wounded on the battlefield.

Everyone started discussing it, and various methods and techniques emerged one after another.

The final issue, the medication, was now before everyone.

One is a drug that can quickly stop pain and bleeding. Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Dong Gan and others are researching this drug and have made some progress.

Another one was the medication Liu Hong mentioned to them: anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection and to promote rapid wound healing.

Having practiced medicine for many years, Hua Tuo naturally knew the importance of the medicine the emperor had mentioned.

Despite his long research efforts, Hua Tuo still made no progress.

After everyone dispersed, Hua Tuo headed towards the medical school's research institute, with his disciple Hua Lao following closely behind.

This research institute was ostensibly used by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to conduct various medical and pharmaceutical experiments.

The institute's entrance is guarded by Tiger Guards all day long, and soldiers patrol the area constantly. Apart from a few PhDs from the medical school and their specially authorized personnel, no one is allowed to approach or enter without permission.

Upon seeing Hua Tuo and Hua Lao approaching, they did not question or stop them, but let them pass directly. After all, Hua Tuo came here every day, and they all knew a medical fanatic.

Inside the research institute, frames were filled with various vessels and experimental tools meticulously crafted by Mo Shang and his team.

Hua Tuo first came to a group of injured small animals that were locked in cages. Each animal had wounds and had been treated and bandaged with different medications.

Hua Tuo bent down and began to examine the wounds of a lamb. He unwrapped the bandages and found that the lamb's wounds seemed to be more infected than the day before.

After stunning the lamb, Hua Tuo scraped off the pus from the lamb's wound little by little and placed it in a container.

Hua Lao hurriedly took the vessel, then took a portion of the medicine that Hua Tuo had reconstituted and handed it to Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo took the new medicine and began bandaging the lamb.

Then we came to another cage, where a piglet lay helplessly inside, its hind legs also wrapped with cloth strips.

Hua Tuo bent down and began to carefully examine the piglet's condition. He saw that snot was constantly flowing from the piglet's nose. Hua Tuo reached out and touched the piglet's forehead, only to find that the piglet's body temperature was a little hot.

Hua Tuo quickly untied the wound wrapped around the pig's hind leg and found that the infection was worse. Hua Tuo also realized that the pig's constant runny nose and fever were caused by the infection.

This situation is already extremely dangerous. Without effective control measures, death awaits this little pig.

Hua Tuo frowned deeply. He had seen this situation in many patients when he practiced medicine before. A single wound was enough to cause infection, fever, and even death.

Not to mention the soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield fighting to protect their country from the enemy.

It is important to understand that in the era of cold weapons, the casualty rate of soldiers was far higher than the mortality rate of those fighting on the battlefield.

Thinking of the soldiers who were helplessly waiting to die because of their injuries and infections, a sense of urgency pressed down on Hua Tuo's heart.

If I could develop a drug to eliminate suppuration and inflammation, then those wounded soldiers would surely be able to survive, not only allowing them to take up arms again to defend their country, but also saving countless families from being torn apart.

After treating the piglet's wound, Hua Tuo took another batch of freshly prepared medicine and bandaged the piglet's wound.

Hua Tuo then returned to his workbench, took out the two failed prescriptions, discarded them, and then consulted medical books and herbal classics to prepare new medicines.

Just then, Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Gan also walked in.

Dong Gan approached Hua Tuo and asked, "Yuanhua, how did today's experiment go?"

Hua Tuo sighed softly, "It hasn't improved; in fact, it's worsened. The piglet has even developed a fever, a condition very similar to that of the seriously wounded soldiers!"

"this...."

Hua Tuo's words reminded Dong Gan and Zhang Zhongjing of the soldiers who were wailing in agony and waiting to die, and the tragic scene made their hearts sink.

In their view, as doctors, saving lives and healing the wounded is their duty.

Treating the wounded soldiers who fought for the country and the nation is their inescapable responsibility.
