The person who spoke was the acupuncture master, Mr. Han Bangxu.
Lin Sanqi looked at him blankly, unsure if the old man was joking or serious. A 70-year-old Chinese medicine practitioner like you could be a guest anesthesiologist? That Chinese medicine practitioner must be incredibly talented.
Old Master Han was unhappy when he saw Lin Sanqi's suspicious look:
"Hey, hey, hey, Lin Xiaoguang, what are you looking at? Didn't you say that anesthesia is needed for surgery? Just tell me which parts you want to numb, and leave the rest to me."
Lin Sanqi was shocked when he heard this: "Old man, this is not a joke. Even if you can give anesthesia, our Chinese medicine hospital doesn't have any anesthetic drugs yet."
"Why do you need anesthetic? This old plum blossom needle passed down from my ancestors is enough. If you need to numb any part of your body, I'll give you a few injections. I guarantee it will be effective and convenient for your surgery."
Lin Sanqi wondered if acupuncture was so miraculous, why would an anesthesiology department be necessary? Hospitals could save a fortune on medication and medical equipment.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoxia woke up and suddenly burst into tears again:
"Help, Dad, help!!!"
Zhu Guangquan hugged his daughter and cried heartbreakingly: "Daddy is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Fang Sanxiao, who was standing next to him, was anxious: "Stop crying, should we stop the bleeding first? It's almost all gone."
Zhu Xiaoxia's wound was still bleeding, the gauze was almost dripping with blood, and the little girl's face was pale, showing obvious signs of anemia.
Old Master Shi Jinmo took out a pill from his pocket and said to Lin Sanqi:
"Hurry up and get a bowl of water. Dissolve the pill and swallow it. The bleeding will stop within twenty breaths."
"Okay."
Lin Sanqi agreed on the surface, and ran to the dormitory to get some water, and took out the surgical instrument bag as well.
In fact, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that Chinese medicine practitioners are really good at bragging. Just now, Old Man Han said that acupuncture can be used for surgical anesthesia, and now Old Man Shi said that it can stop bleeding within twenty breaths?
How long is twenty breaths? One breath is five seconds, twenty breaths is two minutes. How can you stop bleeding so quickly?
What kind of joke is this?
Even hemostatic injections such as sulfonamide, tranexamic acid, and snake venom hemocoagulase cannot stop bleeding.
The warm water was brought, and Lin Sanqi took the pill and put it to his nose to smell it. The warm water smelled quite good.
Now is the time to cure the disease and save lives, so Lin Sanqi did not dare to delay. After the pills entered the water, they quickly dispersed and formed a bowl of brown soup.
"Xiaoxia, come here, drink it quickly. This is your Grandpa Shi's secret recipe."
Unlike Lin Sanqi who was skeptical, Zhu Guangquan and all the Chinese medicine practitioners present had complete faith in Master Shi and could not wait to let the patient drink the medicine.
Zhu Xiaoxia also had a strong desire to survive at this time. Although her whole body was in unbearable pain, she still insisted on drinking the medicine with tears in her eyes.
Lin Sanqi observed Old Man Shi's performance and found that he looked calm. He was not worried about the efficacy of the treatment at all and did not even look at the patient.
So Lin Sanqi looked at his watch again and thought to himself, I'm counting for you, you old national treasure can't brag.
He looked at his watch and saw that he had only run less than one and a half laps. Zhu Guangquan was already shouting:
"Chief Xiaolin, please start the operation quickly. The bleeding has stopped. We need to hurry."
Lin Sanqi ran to the patient's side. Sure enough, after the gauze was removed, although there was still a small amount of bleeding, the bleeding could basically be considered stopped.
Lin Sanqi opened his mouth wide and looked back at Old Man Shi in surprise.
Shi Jinmo didn't smile either, but just waved his hand and reminded: "The bleeding can only stop for half an hour, so hurry up and operate."
In 60 minutes, the patient had more than ten wounds all over his body, and it was obvious that there was not enough time to heal.
But Lin Sanqi knew that this was the most precious time that Old Man Shi had insisted on for him, and not a minute could be wasted, so he nodded solemnly:
"Okay, let's start the operation right away. Mr. Han, I'll leave the anesthesia to you."
At this moment, Lin Sanqi had completely believed the words of these old national treasures and no longer held a skeptical attitude.
"Oh, right, there's another problem. The wound needs to be exposed during surgery, and the disinfection area is quite large. Zhu Xiaoxia needs to take off her clothes and pants. This..."
Zhu Guangquan waved his hands repeatedly: "Chief Lin, we are all doctors and know the rules of surgery. Do whatever you think is best."
Lin Sanqi felt relieved, as he was afraid of encountering stubborn parents who would refuse the surgery because they thought the doctor only wanted to see females. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, a harmful doctrine, still had a wide market among the people.
"There is another problem. The indoor temperature here is too low. Please help me and move to my dormitory. I have a kang burning in the fire, and the indoor temperature is high, so Xiaoxia won't be cold.
Pay attention, everyone, listen carefully. I paid for the coal used to heat the kang, including the coal for the 12 elderly people, and did not ask the hospital to pay a penny. I want to make this clear to avoid misunderstandings."
Lin Sanqi took this opportunity to explain, otherwise other people's families would be freezing like three grandsons every day, while he would keep the kang burning 24 hours a day to keep the room warm and cozy, which would inevitably cause trouble over time.
Vice President Ji also spoke up:
"I can testify to this. Comrade Lin Sanqi obtained the coal himself. It has nothing to do with the hospital."
Old Man Han urged, "Alright, alright, saving lives is the most important thing. Hurry up, everyone, move the patient to the bungalow area."
"Come on, everyone, give me a hand..."
"Cover yourself with the quilt. It's cold on the road..."
"Zhu Guangquan, go away, stop crying, and hold on to the stretcher..."
In the temporary operating area converted from the dormitory, there were only two old men, Han Bangxu and Shi Jinmo, and the father Zhu Guangquan. The other employees were asked to leave and wait outside.
Lin Sanqi spread the surgical instruments flat on the low table and was preparing the needle and thread.
Zhu Xiaoxia was still crying and groaning, but she asked cautiously: "Dad, where is Brother Ye..."
"Don't mention this bastard. He abandoned you and ran off at the critical moment. Such a coward is not worthy of being the son-in-law of our Zhu family. When you get better, you are not allowed to have anything to do with this bastard!"
When talking about Ye Shanmin, Zhu Guangquan became furious and looked very irritable.
Zhu Xiaoxia was speechless, but tears were streaming down her face.
Lin Sanqi was even more speechless:
"Xiaoxia, don't cry. All the male staff in the hospital have been mobilized to save you. Your life was saved by everyone, so you must cherish it. Also, you've lost a lot of blood now, and your circulation is already insufficient. If you continue to cry, it will only worsen your dehydration."
When Zhu Xiaoxia heard this, she was so scared that she quickly stopped crying, but she was still sobbing.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself what a sin it was. A man's reliability could be seen at the critical moment. Fortunately, they were just in love. It would be painful if they got married and then divorced.
While Lin Sanqi was secretly criticizing the coward from the Ye family, he used scissors to cut open Zhu Xiaoxia's clothes and pants, revealing her body.
Don’t have any ambiguous thoughts. If readers were at the scene, they would probably faint from blood loss in serious cases.
Because Zhu Xiaoxia was crawling on the ground at the time, the wolves bit her from behind. Her thighs, calves, buttocks, back, and hands were all covered with dense bite marks, and her skin was torn.
The wounds caused by animal bites are all irregular in shape, and some even tear the flesh and muscles alive.
So the wound looked very terrible, and a strong smell of blood quickly filled the room.
Zhu Guangquan bit his hand tightly and dared not make a sound, but the whimpering sound still revealed his inner collapse and heartache for his daughter.
Mr. Shi and Mr. Han also sighed and consoled him:
"It's good that she survived. A girl who survived a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
Lin Sanqi quickly checked the wound and found that it was not just a bite wound, but Zhu Xiaoxia's right foot tendon, also known as the Achilles tendon, was completely bitten off.
Wolves are indeed terrifying animals. When attacking their prey, they first make the prey lose its ability to resist and escape, so they only bite the vital parts.
If the ruptured Achilles tendon and ligament are not repaired, Zhu Xiaoxia will have to be a cripple for the rest of her life, which will affect her whole life.
"Mr. Han, let's start with the right leg. I need the patient to have no sensation below the waist. Can you do that?"
Old Man Han was full of confidence: "Watch out, boy, I'll show you the magic of our Zhenzong acupuncture."
After saying that, Old Man Han picked up the acupuncture needle and quickly began to insert the needle into several acupuncture points on Zhu Xiaoxia's buttocks and lower limbs.
What’s more, what makes Old Man Han’s acupuncture method different from other acupuncturists is that after inserting the needle, other acupuncturists would turn the silver needle with their hands to constantly adjust the depth.
When old man Han inserts the needle, he only needs to give each needle lightly. The whole movement looks very light, as if lifting a heavy object with ease, and it is very comfortable.
After more than 20 injections, Old Man Han finally sat up straight and said calmly:
"Okay, hurry up and sew it up."
Lin Sanqi wanted to believe Old Man Han very much, but the rigor of Western medicine made him suspicious:
"Is that all?"
"Alright, look, this is Huiyang acupoint, this is Chengfu acupoint, and there are also Weizhong, Chengshan, Huantiao, Fengshi, Yanglingquan and other acupoints. I have injected them all, so there will be no omissions."
Lin Sanqi didn't give up. He used pliers to pinch a piece of skin on Zhu Xiaoxia's calf and asked:
"Xiaoxia, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, I don't feel anything in my lower body anymore..."
It turns out that real Chinese medicine practitioners can really serve as anesthesiologists?
Lin Sanqi was really convinced this time. He really wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Old Man Han, crying and shouting:
"Master, please accept me as your disciple."
If this skill is passed down, patients like Sun Xiaoming who are allergic to anesthetics and prone to malignant hyperthermia can be treated with acupuncture anesthesia, which will definitely shock the world.
If I write it into a paper and publish it internationally, how many SCI papers will be waiting for me?
"Xiao Lin, Lin Xiaoguang, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and start the surgery. There are less than 50 minutes left."
Old Man Han reminded him, and Lin Sanqi finally came to his senses and nodded heavily:
"Okay, I'll start the needle..." (End of this chapter)
