Chapter 2574 Family (New Year's Eve update)
Manbao wrote in great detail, describing how he was injured, how big the wound was, the internal injuries, his pulse, the amount of bleeding, his facial complexion, etc.
Zheng Wang glanced at what she had written: two hemorrhages in the brain, three swellings, two of which were connected...
Zheng Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Zhou, is this lump in the brain harmful?"
Manbao was startled. He felt his hand growl and the ink swished heavily on the paper. He looked up at him blankly, and after a while, he recognized the man in front of him. "Master Zheng, why are you here? It's not good to be in the palace so late at night, right?"
Seeing her bewildered look, the Duke of Pi said with a smile, "Master Zhou, Master Zheng is your nephew."
Manbao only then remembered this relationship, but she was not there when the emperor asked them to stay, so she didn't know why the three of them stayed in the palace. Her eyes slid back and forth between the three of them, "Then you, Duke Pi..."
The Duke of Pi's relationship was a bit distant, and he felt it would be too troublesome to explain, so he said directly: "I was ordered to stay, Lord Zhou, to take care of Master Zheng's injuries..."
"Oh, not much change." Manbao put down his pen and stopped writing, and covered the pulse case.
Zheng Wang looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "Master Zhou, is my nephew's injury and the mass on his brain okay?"
Manbao said, "We will prescribe medicine to reduce the swelling."
"Will this lump affect his future?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether he would become stupid, but he felt that it was unlucky to ask like this, so he refused to say it out loud.
Manbao was unwilling to say anything, mainly because she was not sure. She was also completely blind, okay?
But Zheng Wang didn't think so. He thought Zhou Man was deliberately concealing something, and his temper rose. His voice became louder. "Sir Zhou, are you hiding your illness to cover up for the Prince of Hejian?"
Manbao was unhappy when she heard this, and he was shouting too loudly, and the light in Xiao Yuanzheng's room next door was on. She could only ask the medical assistant to let Xiao Yuanzheng continue sleeping. Then she turned her head to look at Zheng Erlang on the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was still lying peacefully.
She looked at the furious Zheng Wang, pursed her lips, and pointed outside, saying, "Come on, let's talk outside."
Duke Pi was afraid they would start arguing, so he quickly stepped in and said, "Let's talk it out nicely. Let's talk it out nicely."
Lawrence Lu looked at Zhou Man curiously.
He was not an official in the court, but was just traveling in the capital. He had lived in the capital for the past few years and was considered the representative of the Lu family in the capital, so he was invited into the palace.
In fact, he went to the palace quite often. Even though he did not hold an official position, with the identity of Lu, he would occasionally go to the palace to attend a banquet or play chess with the emperor.
But he never met Zhou Man once.
But he had heard a lot about this female official, and he looked at her curiously.
Zheng Wang was an official in the court and had frequent dealings with Zhou Man. They had quarreled in the court due to some political differences.
So he snorted, flicked his sleeves and walked out. When he reached the yard, he stopped, turned around and glared at Zhou Man, wanting to fight her for three hundred rounds.
The night wind was still a little chilly, so Manbao tucked her hands into her sleeves. After closing the door, trying not to disturb the patient inside, she looked at Zheng Wang, leaned against the railing, and frowned, "Master Zheng, do you know where your nephew is injured?"
"Of course I know. Don't change the subject. I'm just asking you, are you being so perfunctory with me just to show your favoritism to the Prince of Hejian?"
Manbao asked rudely, "I'm very close to Minister Li, why should I side with him?"
Zheng Wang paused. It seemed that Zhou Man and Prince Hejian had no friendship, but Zhou Man had a good relationship with the royal family.
He was about to speak when Zhou Man sighed, "I'm telling the truth, because I really don't know what will happen to him in the future. I don't even know what he will be like in two hours."
Zheng Wang was stunned, and so were Duke Pi and Lu Zhongyan. Duke Pi was about to stop Zhou Man, but was stopped by Lu Zhongyan with quick eyes and hands. This matter must be made clear. If anything happens to Zheng Erlang, the emperor must give them an explanation.
This time, the Lu and Zheng families stood together. In comparison, Duke Pi was naturally more loyal to the emperor, as he and the emperor were relatives.
Zheng Wang stepped forward, approached Zhou Man and asked, "What does this mean?"
Manbao looked at him curiously, "Didn't Dean Xiao tell you that we only have a 30% chance of saving the person?"
In fact, it is 50%, but according to the rules of the Imperial Medical Bureau, unless there are special circumstances, the condition will be two or three times more serious once it leaves the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Obviously, Zheng Erlang was still unable to understand the special circumstances of the Imperial Hospital.
Zheng Wang and the other two were startled. Duke Pi was the first to come to his senses and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, yes."
The emperor cannot take the blame at this time.
"Then have you ever thought about why we can't be sure of that 70%?" Man Bao said, "Of course it's because the human brain is complicated. If there's bleeding inside, we're not sure if the hemostatic drugs we prescribe can completely stop the bleeding. Will the intracranial pressure be so high that the blood vessels will burst? Will the bleeding cause brain necrosis..."
"There's also a lump. Can the swelling-reducing medicine and injections we prescribed reduce it? If not, will it get worse and worse, eventually swelling to the point of pressing on other parts of the body and causing irreversible damage?" Man Bao said, "That's why we only have a 30% chance. We have hemostatic medicine, acupuncture to stop bleeding and reduce swelling, and other means of treating injuries. His pulse is back to normal, and things are looking up. That's why we're talking about a 30% chance."
"It's still 70% uncertain whether he can survive. You are asking me directly whether he will become stupid after he survives, and whether the lump will affect his intelligence. How can I give you an answer?" She is not even sure whether he can survive. How can she promise him such a thing?
If she gave it to him, after he woke up, she would be in trouble whether he was stupid or not.
When Zheng Wang heard this, he stopped talking.
Duke Pi quickly stepped forward to support him and said, "Brother Zheng, Imperial Physician Zhou is right. This matter is difficult to confirm, and as the Imperial Physician, she wouldn't dare to promise it outright. Why don't we wait and see what happens?"
Lawrence Lu also nodded at this time and said, “Wait a little longer.”
Zheng Wang asked Zhou Man, "When can we get a definite conclusion?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Intracranial hemorrhage depends on the amount of bleeding tomorrow. If we don't need to draw blood tomorrow, that's good news. All we have to do next is wait for him to wake up after the swelling subsides. His body will absorb the blood clots on its own..."
Man Bao said: "This period of time is about three to ten days. He will be in danger until the blood clots are completely absorbed."
"As for whether there will be any sequelae, we'll know when he wakes up, and we'll be able to confirm it even more when the blood clot in his brain clears. So if you want to ask me about the exact situation, come back and ask me in half a month."
The length of time and the slow speed made Zheng Wang stomp his feet angrily, but this time he was no longer angry because Zhou Man explained it very clearly.
Who said that if I update on time, it's like I won 5 million? Then if I update early, how many millions did you win?
Hehehe, see you tomorrow
I have finished the update, and will add more updates starting tomorrow.
