Chapter 2573 Compassion
Don’t think that there is plenty of food in the palace. The working meals are based on the number of people, and the kitchen obviously only prepared one portion for Xiao Yuanzheng.
Just as he was thinking about whether to reluctantly share a bowl of rice with her, a senior palace maid came over with two large food boxes and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhou is back. This is what the Crown Princess asked the kitchen to prepare for you. Coincidentally, we just prepared it for you. They said it was for your midnight snack. Then someone from Her Royal Highness the Princess came to say that you didn't have dinner, so they asked His Highness and the Empress to prepare some for you."
"The Empress immediately asked the kitchen to prepare two more dishes, as well as some soup and a porridge. If you can't use all of it later, you can keep it warm on the stove and use some when you get tired of keeping watch at night..."
Xiao Yuanzheng's expression straightened, and he immediately pushed the work meal on his small table aside to make room for her, smiling faintly, "Put it here."
The senior palace maid responded with a smile and stepped forward to take out the contents of the food box.
The medical assistant who was sleeping in the side room smelled the fragrance and came out in a daze, leaning against the door frame and staring at the food in a daze.
Manbao waved at them and asked, "Have you used it?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said, "They've eaten, but they've all slept for an hour, so they're probably hungry. They have to keep watch tonight, so why don't they come over and eat something together?"
Two medical assistants immediately stepped forward and each pulled out a chair and sat down.
Xiao Yuanzheng waited for the maid to leave before he took the bowl and asked, "What new recipe did you find?"
Manbao then told Teacher Mo about the two prescriptions he had just received.
Xiao Yuanzheng deduced the main and secondary medicines, and after pondering for a moment, he frowned. He always felt that the dosage of the secondary medicine was too close to that of the main medicine, so he shook his head and said, "The dosage is not good."
He had wanted to say this a long time ago, "Doctor Zhou, look at the prescriptions you've written in the past. There are no major problems with many of the main, secondary, and adjuvant ingredients, but there are always large deviations in the dosage. Are all the prescriptions written by your master like this..." Wild?
Manbao pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's because the quality of the medicine is different, so the dosage will be different."
Xiao Yuanzheng then said, "I wouldn't say the medicine used by the Imperial Hospital is the best, but there are definitely no quality issues."
Manbao chuckled, "So how do you think we should modify this recipe?"
The two prescriptions Zhou Man gave were indeed good. Xiao Yuanzheng made some deductions and adjusted the dosage according to Zheng Erlang's condition before using them.
Manbao mentioned the combined use of acupuncture, which she had learned a lot about this afternoon.
Xiao Yuan was stunned. After just one afternoon of not seeing Zhou Man, was Zhou Man no longer the Zhou Man he knew?
How did she know this stuff so quickly?
Looking at the red bloodshot in her eyes, Xiao Yuanzheng sighed and said, "Doctor Zhou, thank you for your hard work."
Man Bao smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, Xiao Yuanzheng, do you want to stand guard with me tonight?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: ...I don’t really want to, but seeing Zhou Man’s shining eyes, he finally sighed and decided to sympathize with his subordinates, so he nodded reluctantly.
Manbao cheered quietly in his heart and decided to take a short nap after dinner. He had been using his brain all afternoon and felt a little tired.
After dinner, Manbao and Xiao Yuanzheng went to see Master Zheng together.
He was still unconscious, and the gauze bandaged on his head showed a faint blood color. Xiao Yuanzheng knew at a glance that the medicine powder was soaked with blood, so he said, "Give him some more medicine.
The two men carefully removed the gauze and stared at his head before applying the medicine powder.
Two medical assistants came over, each lighting a candle so that they could see more clearly.
Manbao pointed at a few spots and said, "See? When I drew blood today, the color here was actually darker and more swollen."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "It's a little swollen now. It seems that there is blood accumulation inside again."
Manbao nodded, paid points to have Keke scanned, and asked Xiao Yuanzheng, "Do you think he can absorb it on his own?"
Xiao Yuan was thinking about the amount of blood drawn that afternoon and shook his head, "Too much. No, it's dangerous if it stays inside the brain."
Manbao thought so too, so he said, "So let's draw again."
Xiao Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment. During the day, Zhou Man was lucky and didn't touch the brain when he inserted the needle. But now it was night, and the vision was not as good as during the day. If there was any mistake in luck...
Man Bao said, "It's been more than three hours since we drew blood at noon, and there are still five hours until dawn. If the blood clots aren't removed..."
Xiao Yuanzheng could only nod, "Be careful, insert the needle in the original position, don't go too deep."
Manbao nodded, but asked Koko to scan carefully, then took the needle and looked for the best position again.
She was very cautious and compared it several times. After inserting the needle, she asked Keke to scan it. After confirming the depth of the needle, she slowly pushed the needle forward. After a while, blood began to drip from the sheep intestine again.
Manbao pressed the needle and thought that this method of drawing blood was actually not as good as using a syringe in the classroom, because the syringe can actively suck, while she let the blood flow out automatically after the needle was inserted, and the blood did not flow out very cleanly.
It is sufficient for emergency use, but the speed is still slow.
Manbao was thinking about the syringe. In fact, the needle was not difficult to make. It was a hollow silver needle, which was what they were using now. But he didn't know how to make the stopper and the transparent syringe.
"Okay, change the needle."
Xiao Yuanzheng's words brought Manbao back to her senses. She carefully pulled out the needle and found a spot to draw blood.
Then they took turns feeling Zheng Erlang's pulse, and after confirming that there were no major fluctuations in the pulse, they wrapped up his head.
Both of them were very careful in their movements and did not dare to move too much.
Because patients with head injuries cannot move around. What if they move and the intracranial hemorrhage becomes more serious, or if something accidentally ruptures?
So the two of them, one carefully held his head, the other carefully bandaged his head, and then gently placed it on the pillow.
Manbao sat there blankly thinking. She didn't want to sleep for the time being, so she asked Xiao Yuanzheng and a medical assistant to go and rest first. She and another person would stay there and take over in the second half of the night.
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded and took his men to rest first.
Manbao sat quietly on the chair, holding a pen in his hand. After thinking for a while, he began to write Zheng Erlang's pulse case. Zheng Wang and the other two came to see Zheng Erlang's condition before going to bed. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Zhou Man writing hard in the candlelight. She didn't notice them even when they came up to her.
Manbao was writing with great concentration. She felt that Zheng Erlang's injury was very representative. Many people with head injuries could survive and wait for treatment, but even fewer could temporarily save their lives after treatment. She really wanted to know whether he could be saved and whether he could return to normal after being saved.
If possible, she wanted to make this case a typical one and pass it on so that when doctors encounter similar cases in the future, they will have reference methods and steps to follow when dealing with them.
