Chapter 24 Believe Me
"I can only say that it should be less than before, but as to how much it will be reduced, that is unknown." Xu Zhao did not dare to say this too confidently. After all, the conditions here are really not as good as those of modern times.
All she can do is the most basic cleaning and disinfection. Modern operating rooms can be Class 100 sterile rooms, which can basically avoid environmental pollution during the operation.
But here, in a completely exposed environment, new wounded are constantly being carried in, and young doctors are shuttling among the wounded.
Xu Zhao had no idea how much relief he could get.
"Since there is no guarantee, then it would be a waste of time to do it!"
Xu Zhao knew that the doctor was not targeting him. He was just worried that the wounded would be delayed by the complicated cleaning process and miss the best treatment option.
If it were in modern times, many clinical problems could be solved through controlled trials, but now she was dealing with several lives at stake and could not afford to be careless.
"Please believe me!" Xu Zhao's eyes were firm and his voice became sonorous and powerful. Perhaps this was the only way to make people feel convinced.
"Trust you? Why should I trust you?"
"you……"
Xu Zhao was anxious. If she could not stop the operation at hand, she would have to have a good argument with the doctor and let him know what science is.
"Do as she says!"
Xu Zhao took the towel that the cooks had just cooked and wiped the blood around the wound bit by bit. He just threw the used towel into the basin.
Suddenly she heard the voice of the person she was worried about. She looked up suddenly and saw Chen Yu standing at the door.
Xu Zhao was so excited that he ran towards Chen Yu, "I'm so glad you're okay!"
Chen Yu was the only person she knew in this ancient time, and he was powerful. Apart from anything else, at least he could save her from wandering around in this strange place in ancient times, so nothing must happen to him.
"I told you to wait for my triumphant return," Shen Yu said confidently.
"What were you arguing about?"
Chen Yu was slightly injured on the battlefield. He wanted to come over to comfort the soldiers and get some medicine for the wound from the military doctor.
"Your Highness, this Miss Xu asked us to wash our hands with this water and poured wine on them, saying that it was to disinfect them. This is greatly delaying our efforts to heal the soldiers. Your Highness, this cannot be allowed!"
The doctor who had just had an argument with Xu Zhao immediately spoke out the things that he found intolerable.
Since Xu Zhao had no idea how many unnecessary casualties this action could reduce, the doctors who had been doing what she said stopped washing their hands with wine.
Seeing the doctors using their blood-stained hands to clean and suture the wounds of the wounded one by one, Xu Zhao became extremely anxious.
She grabbed Chen Yu's arm and felt something wet and sticky on her hand. After she let go, she found that her palm was covered in blood. "Your arm is injured!"
After Shen Yu returned to the military camp, he took off his armor and was now wearing a black robe. The bloody smell surrounded him, which completely concealed Shen Yu's injuries. If it weren't for Xu Zhao's actions just now, it would have been impossible to discover.
Chen Yu believed that Xu Zhao was not a person who would make trouble unreasonably, so he directly ordered: "Do as Miss Xu said first." His tone did not allow anyone to question it, and the doctors had no choice but to obey his orders.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your arm was injured," she pulled Shen Yu to a place, picked up the scissors on the table, and cut the clothes at his arm.
The bloody wound was exposed to the air. It was a long wound that looked somewhat hideous at first glance.
Xu Zhao quickly washed her hands, and after a simple disinfection, she took out a newly disinfected towel from the basin and used it to clean the blood-stained skin around Shen Yu's wound. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was wiping a treasure.
"Trust me."
Xu Zhao suddenly spoke up, "If we can't change the environment, the only way to reduce the high fever reaction after wound treatment is to have doctors do a good job of disinfection."
Chen Yu did not answer but asked: "Is this also the way you treat wounds? And what about disinfection? Could it be that the fever of the subsequent soldiers was caused by poisoning?"
"In our area, if there is a wound, we usually clean it, just like we use sterile water to wash the wound, wash away the stones and debris on the wound, and then disinfect it."
"If the wound is deep, the doctor will sew it up so it can heal faster."
Whenever Shen Yu heard some strange words from Xu Zhao, he would be very interested and could learn a lot of new things.
"What about disinfection?"
Xu Zhao naturally did not forget Shen Yu's question just now, she answered: "There are many things in this world that cannot be seen by the naked eye, such as bacteria and viruses, which are the main causes of illness. Disinfection is to kill these things that we cannot see with the naked eye through means such as high temperature."
She explained to Shen Yu in the most understandable terms.
Chen Yu immediately understood what Xu Zhao meant. This future thing was indeed incredible, but it also gave him a sudden enlightenment. "Then our common colds and fevers are also caused by these invisible things?"
"That's about it."
After listening to Xu Zhao, Shen Yu made a bold decision. He immediately stood up and said to the busy doctor: "Continue to do what Miss Xu said. I believe in her, and I hope you believe in me."
Since the prince has spoken so, everyone naturally dares not be careless.
Xu Zhao felt warm at heart, these simple words really meant that he was using his position in the army to vouch for her.
Shen Yu turned around and saw Xu Zhao smiling sweetly at her.
He had never told her that her smile was very beautiful, and her pretty face was made even more beautiful by this smile.
"Thank you for believing in me."
"I believe in you, and I hope you won't let me down."
"nature!"
After Xu Zhao applied medicine to Shen Yu, she bandaged her wound with gauze and finally tied a beautiful bow. She looked at her work with satisfaction.
"I'm going to help first, you go back and rest early."
To be honest, everything here has nothing to do with Xu Zhao. To her, these people are not from the same era as her. In her era, these people had already turned into dust, and she didn't need to get involved at all.
But after spending these few days together, Xu Zhao couldn't bear to do it. These people were living people in this era.
She believed that God would not send her to this place for no reason, and since she was here, she must do something, so she gave earnest advice to the doctors, asking them to do a good job of disinfection.
Xu Zhao was busy all night, until dawn, she was forcibly pulled back to her tent by Chen Yu.
