Chapter 221 I Hope You Can Bear It
"I can do it," Sang Yu said confidently, then turned to look at Zeng Rong, "Mrs. Shen, would you let me try?"
If she were still on the outside like before, she wouldn't want to do this extremely risky thing.
Episiotomy is easy, but the subsequent suturing, recovery, inflammation and other issues must be handled carefully. If you are not careful, it is easy to leave sequelae.
Don’t let the situation turn you into enemies instead of being grateful to each other.
However, after she was invited into the room and saw Chen Huitan's condition, she suddenly changed her mind.
Since the situation has deteriorated to the point where the fetus's limbs must be cut off to save the mother, why not try this method to save the mother from danger?
"Can you do it?" Zeng Rong was somewhat doubtful, not knowing whether she had the ability or not, and even less knowing whether she should believe her.
"I believe you, please, save my child." Chen Huitan suddenly spoke. She had been weak for too long and even lacked the strength to speak.
The mother just went out, and when she came back the doctor started preparing the knife. It was obvious that the father agreed with the doctor's idea to skin her child alive.
She had just asked Grandma Zhang about this. The baby in her belly was clearly still alive and kicking its legs. She really couldn't bear to watch it die like this.
As long as there is a way to save the child, she is willing to try again.
"Even if this method can temporarily relieve the pain, you will still feel a lot of pain during the process and for a few days afterward. Can you withstand it?"
Sang Yu confirmed with her one last time, and after receiving her nod, she changed her previous cautious attitude and gave orders directly.
"First, prepare a bowl of sugar water to help the woman recover her strength. Then quickly find me a portion of cleaned goat intestines."
"Sheep intestines?" The sugar syrup in the previous part was understandable, but Zeng Rong was really confused as to what this sheep intestine that appeared out of nowhere could be used for.
"Don't worry about it, just find her quickly and send two more people in from outside. Someone needs to hold her limbs down." Sang Yu urged repeatedly. Now was not the time to explain.
"Mom, please do as she says, please." Chen Huitan held Zeng Rong's hand tightly, her face full of pleading.
Zeng Rong had no choice but to agree: "Well, I'll just play along with you guys."
She went out and asked Shen Wenfu to send someone to find sheep intestines. There were people in the village who raised sheep, and they could kill and clean them immediately, and it would take less than a quarter of an hour to deliver them.
The last person to hold down the limbs was naturally Chen Huitan’s husband Wang Shun.
As soon as he entered the delivery room, he went straight to Chen Huitan: "Tan'er, how are you? Are you okay?"
"Husband..." Chen Huitan, who had been gritting her teeth and holding on, could no longer hold back her tears the moment she saw him, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Wang Shun hurried to comfort her: "Tan'er, it's okay, it's okay, your husband is here, you will be fine."
After finally coaxing her to stop crying, Wang Shun looked at the people in the room and for a moment didn't know what they were waiting for.
"Why are you taking them one by one but not moving? Hurry and save them!"
Sang Yu looked at the old doctor who put down his scissors and began to disinfect the silver needle knife: "Are you ready to start?"
She had heard of Ma Fei San, but she hadn't realized it had been lost. Doctors these days could only temporarily block most of the pain with silver needles, but couldn't completely stop it.
The old doctor blew out the oil lamp and nodded gently: "I'm ready."
Sang Yu estimated the time and waited for a while before ordering, "Doctor, you give the acupuncture now, and I'll do the surgery later."
She certainly had not learned how to perform an episiotomy, but she lived in a later era with various sources of information.
She knew how to avoid arteries, how hard to use and how deep to cut, and had steady hands that could operate with precision. For these reasons alone, she should be the one to do it.
The old doctor looked at her deeply, without saying anything, took the sterilized silver needle he had prepared, walked to Chen Huitan and started giving her the acupuncture.
When only half of the needle ends were left exposed, the old doctor nodded and said, "It's done."
Sang Yu was a little worried and asked, "How long can this method of yours last?"
"Half an hour."
That is one hour, which is enough. Sang Yu nodded slightly and walked to Chen Huitan: “Miss Chen, I will pinch you later, and you tell me how it feels.”
After receiving a nod from Chen Huitan, Sang Yu pinched a piece of flesh on her calf with his fingertips and twisted it hard for a long time.
"I can feel a little pain, but not too much." Chen Huitan answered honestly.
Hearing her words, the old doctor snorted quite proudly, as if telling Sang Yu, I told you my method works.
However, Sang Yu's face darkened. If twisting and pinching could still cause pain, then when he started fighting later, wouldn't it be...
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Mom, the sheep intestines are here, I brought them in."
Chen Huirou was holding a small bowl in her hand, and in the bowl was a freshly washed sheep intestine.
After checking and confirming that it was washed clean, Sang Yu asked for two more things: strong liquor and salt water.
The things were brought in quickly. Sang Yu first soaked the sheep intestines in strong liquor for a while, then took them out and put them in salt water, and pierced them with a sterilized needle.
She washed her hands with salt water and took over the small knife that the old doctor often used.
Then she gave the order: "Hold the woman's limbs and make sure she can't move at all no matter what I do later."
“Miss Shen, it will be extremely painful later. I hope you can bear it.”
Now that things have come to this, everything is ready, it's time to take action.
Everyone in the room held down one of Chen Huitan's hands or legs, and Sang Yu had someone stuff a piece of soft cloth into her mouth to prevent her from biting herself later.
Sang Yu lit up the oil lamp that had been blown out again. At this time, Grandma Zhang held the oil lamp in her hand and moved under Chen Huitan's skirt to illuminate that area.
Sang Yu gripped the knife tightly, looked at the direction and acted decisively, making a 45-degree cut on the left side of the perineum. A cut about three centimeters long was cut out at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, Chen Huitan, who had prepared herself mentally in advance, trembled and struggled violently.
Fortunately, thanks to Sang Yu's reminder, the people who controlled her limbs did not relax their vigilance and tried their best to suppress her struggle.
Grandma Zhang, who was holding an oil lamp, witnessed the whole thing and was unable to recover for a long time.
The knife was struck too decisively and boldly, and just as she said, there was enough space for an extra hand to fit in.
She stared at Sang Yu, but she wasn't stupid. She threw the knife aside, snatched the oil lamp from her hand, and urged, "Quickly adjust the fetus's position and take the baby out."
There was no blood transfusion equipment in those days. Now she had made such a big cut in Shen Huitan's perineum, and blood was flowing out. She had to hurry and get it over with.
