Chapter 1257: Hamstring
Manbao took the prepared things home and put them away. The next morning, he gave Xiang Chao the Ma Fei San he had prepared the day before and asked him to boil the medicine.
After breakfast, the medicine was ready, and Doctor Liu and Doctor Zheng also arrived. They checked everything and after confirming that there was no problem, they asked Xiang Mingxue to drink the medicine.
Xiang Mingxue took a deep breath, picked up the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. Then the three of them sat on the chairs and waited for him to pass out.
Doctor Liu took his pulse from time to time to check his condition.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiang Mingxue gradually fell asleep on the bed. Doctor Liu took his pulse and said, "The medicine is taking effect. Come and have a look."
Manbao poked him with the needle, and seeing that he had no reaction, he nodded and said, "It's okay."
This was not his first surgery, so Manbao was not particularly nervous.
Doctor Zheng helped to fix his feet on a wooden board that had been prepared long ago, and then sat beside him to assist Manbao.
Doctor Liu sat next to Xiang Mingxue and kept an eye on his pulse.
Manbao took out a knife and cut his feet apart...
The tendon suture is very delicate, but Xiang Mingxue's tendon was severed in a very rough manner, which caused the condition inside to be very bad.
He had been in the dungeons and prisons, and his recovery had been poor, which had its upsides, at least she could deal with it directly now.
Doctor Zheng held a magnifying glass for her, watching her slowly separate the muscles, find the severed tendons, and begin to remove the dead parts and sew up the still-living ones...
It was so thin that Doctor Zheng felt his eyes dry just by looking at it. After looking at it for a long time, he could only look away to relax his eyes.
Manbao was not affected much. She had performed eight operations under the same conditions, with exactly the same foot condition. From making mistakes to continuous improvement, she made a little progress with each operation. Now, she is very familiar with it.
Manbao sewed up the left foot and closed it. Then she turned her slightly sore neck and looked at the other foot.
Doctor Zheng looked at Doctor Liu, who nodded and said, "You may continue."
The two of them sat on the other side and started on the other foot. Doctor Liu came over to apply medicine, bandaged the left foot, and then went back to stare at Xiang Mingxue's pulse.
After an unknown amount of time, Doctor Liu said, "He's about to wake up."
Manbao looked up at Xiang Mingxue and continued to concentrate on his work, but his hands moved a little faster.
Doctor Zheng looked a little anxious and whispered, "The amount of anesthetic should be larger. If the patient wakes up in the middle of the procedure, he might bleed."
Doctor Liu gave him a disapproving look and said, "Acupuncture can relieve the pain. You guys continue. I'll prepare something here."
Doctor Zheng: "Acupuncture and moxibustion can't stop this much pain."
Doctor Liu saw that Manbao's eyebrows were downcast, but his movements were not affected at all. He couldn't help but smile. He simply stopped being shy and discussed with Doctor Zheng, "The amount of anesthetic is actually enough. I guess the reason he woke up early is probably because he suffered too many beatings in the dungeon some time ago, and his body has become accustomed to the pain."
Doctor Zheng also glanced at Manbao. Seeing that she was unaffected, he held up a magnifying glass and discussed with Doctor Liu, "Then it's difficult to quantify the amount of anesthetic. If it's too much, it can be fatal."
"Yes, but Mandragora can add a little more as appropriate. Maybe it will help him sleep longer."
While the two were talking, Manbao had already sutured the tendon, and the next step was to check the foot.
Seeing that she couldn't do it well, Doctor Liu, who still had one hand on Xiang Mingxue's pulse, took out the needle and started to give him acupuncture.
Xiang Mingxue felt a dull pain in his feet before he even opened his eyes. He wanted to move his feet, but found that he couldn't, so he slowly opened his eyes.
Doctor Liu was pricking him with a needle. Seeing him wake up, he smiled and said, "You're awake. Does your foot hurt?"
Xiang Mingxue was lying there and couldn't see the condition of his feet, but he could feel a needle piercing through his feet, and he could also feel the pain in his feet, but the feeling seemed a little distant and unreal.
He swallowed and asked, "Not well yet?"
Doctor Liu continued to move his hands and replied calmly, "You woke up too early, two quarters of an hour earlier than expected."
Xiang Mingxue's face turned pale from the pain, and his foot began to bleed. Doctor Zheng quickly used the hemostatic gauze prepared by Manbao to absorb the blood and said to him, "Don't get excited. If you get excited, your foot will bleed, and it will be difficult to sew it up."
But when people feel pain, muscle contraction is a subconscious behavior, which is not something Xiang Mingxue can control. Manbao's hands moved a little faster, and she sutured the wound in a short while. Then she handed the wound to Doctor Zheng to apply medicine and bandage it. She put down the knife to wash her hands, and immediately took over Doctor Liu's work.
She had just learned two acupuncture techniques for pain relief. She removed Doctor Liu's needles and quickly found the acupuncture points and began to prick them...
Xiang Mingxue still felt pain, but this time it was not in his feet, but in the place where Manbao had pierced his body.
Doctor Zheng, who was applying medicine to him, let out a cry of surprise, paused for a moment, and then continued.
Doctor Liu stepped forward, took a look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to look at Manbao's acupuncture method.
Manbao continued to acupuncture several acupuncture points for about two quarters of an hour. Xiang Mingxue's muscles gradually relaxed and finally he was basically calm.
Manbao asked, "Can you still feel the pain in your feet?"
Xiang Mingxue hummed and said, "It's so faint, I can hardly feel it."
Manbao stared at his expression and asked, "Really? Is it true? Is it so effective?"
Doctor Liu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this your acupuncture method? Don't you know it?"
Manbao can't say that she has never tried it on humans, and the person who taught her this acupuncture technique doesn't know the specific effects, right?
After all, acupuncture is not popular in Mr. Mo's place. What is popular to them is importing acupuncture data into home massage chambers and medical chambers, and using electromagnetic films to achieve the acupuncture effect.
Even if there are doctors like this who really use needles, most patients would not dare to use them. They trust machines more.
Manbao stopped and let the needle stay on the acupuncture point. She looked back at the bandaged feet and said, "It's already been connected. Now we have to see if it can be connected again. Don't move your feet. If it hurts, don't be afraid. Call me and I will give you acupuncture to relieve the pain."
Doctor Liu asked, "Young Doctor Zhou, this is the acupuncture anesthesia you told me about the other day, the one you wanted to use on pregnant women?"
"good."
Doctor Liu twisted the needle, observed Xiang Mingxue's reaction, and nodded. "This is much more effective than the pain-relieving acupuncture we usually use. However, it's impossible to completely stop the pain of the abdominal opening."
"So anesthetics still need to be used, but the amount can be reduced."
Doctor Liu asked, "How much reduction exactly? Don't try to open the abdomen while the patient is conscious without anesthetizing her. That's very dangerous."
