Qiu Yan left the Xie residence, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba followed suit.
The three figures appeared on the bustling main street of Qin County.
On the way, Qiu Yan first went to the blacksmith's shop and asked them to make some special tools.
Therefore, she drew up a plan and asked Ling Qi to wait there.
Afterwards, she and Ling Ba went to the pharmacy after asking around.
One of the most challenging issues is anti-inflammatory treatment.
She had thought about this question more than once since she began practicing medicine.
Besides common herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying, she also prepared her own so-called... based on previous medical books.
Medicine for wounds.
Its ingredients include borneol, dragon's blood, camphor, musk, lard, and rosin.
These anti-inflammatory medications can kill common bacteria and prevent wounds from becoming infected or swollen; she personally tested them and found them effective.
Although not as effective as modern anti-inflammatory drugs, the oxidizing substances in her homemade wound medicine can kill some anaerobic bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of tetanus infection.
However, there are still risks.
In the future, she will dedicate all her knowledge to developing a special anti-inflammatory drug.
This will greatly reduce the risk of death.
Of course, not everyone will get an infection from their wound.
Otherwise, there would be no eunuchs.
When she arrived at the pharmacy, she looked at the shop assistant and handed him the prescription she had written.
The servant looked them over one by one.
3 mace of Rhododendron molle, 1 mace of Jasmine root, 1 liang of Angelica sinensis, 3 fen of Acorus calamus...
"Young lady, what ailment does this prescription treat?"
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "It's a stomachache."
"Abdominal pain?" The waiter shook his head; this medicine wasn't right.
After his initial surprise, he began to prepare medicine for Qiu Yan.
Using the same recipe, Qiu Yan grabbed two more portions.
Because she had never operated on anyone before, she never used this prescription.
Hopefully, this prescription will be effective.
Another tricky problem was the needle and thread.
The technique of suturing was already recorded in the medical books that Qiu Yan had read.
Qiu Yan's first thought was mulberry bark thread.
This thread is the simplest and most convenient to make.
"Young man, do you have any needles and thread here for stitching up wounds?"
"Sew it up?" The servant was even more astonished.
This is the first time I've encountered someone buying such professional medical supplies.
"Young lady, what do you need these suture needles and thread for? Perhaps one of the doctors asked you to buy them?" The voice came from the inner courtyard, and then a middle-aged man entered the pharmacy through the inner door.
Qiu Yan turned to look at the man, who was dressed in a long blue robe and looked clean and neat.
"Are you the doctor at this pharmacy?"
The man nodded. "Exactly."
The servant chimed in, introducing Qiu Yan: "Miss, this is our pharmacy's resident physician, surnamed Sun, named Miao, Physician Sun."
Sun Miao? Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Doctor Sun, do you have any sutures for treating knife wounds?"
"Yes, there is. But young lady, I heard this morning that a female physician arrived at the Xie residence. I wonder if it was you?"
Sun Miao also went to the Xie residence in person to examine Young Master Xie, but he was ashamed to admit that he was not knowledgeable enough to cure Young Master Xie's serious illness.
Qiu Yan nodded: "It's me."
Sun Miao paused slightly. Could this female doctor really cure the illness that he couldn't?
He looked Qiu Yan over carefully, then immediately took out his suture needle and thread and gave it to her.
"How much silver?" Qiu Yan asked.
"This is free, it's yours for free." Sun Miao waved his hand without saying anything more.
Fortunately, he had been a military doctor in Western Qin; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the sutures.
