Chapter 2847 Diagnosis
Daji called the doctor from Baicaotang over to take a look. The doctor said bluntly, "How can we save this baby? We can only give birth to the baby. If it can be born, it would be the best. If it can't be born..."
That means two lives lost.
Manbao on the side said directly: "The fetal position is reversed."
The doctor shook his head and said to Dafu Niang, "That won't work."
Childbirth is a difficult journey, and an abnormal fetal position means that the body is 90% in danger. Now the baby is not fully grown and has fallen and is bleeding. How can the person be saved?
The doctor turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhou Man grabbed him and said, "Leave your medicine box here."
Then he asked, "What medicine did you bring? Any pills to replenish qi?"
The doctor recognized Zhou Man and held the medicine box, saying, "Madam, I won't charge you for this consultation, but the medicine..."
Dafu Niang was still immersed in the bad news that her daughter-in-law could not be found. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "My family has no money."
Manbao gritted his teeth and said, "I do."
Daji had already taken out his purse, weighed it out to the doctor, and said, "We'll pay."
The doctor then opened the medicine box to show them the medicine he brought, and said, "I didn't bring the pills." Because the store had run out of them.
Although he knew the patient was beyond saving, he still had to do his best and leave the rest to fate, so he didn't waste any time. As he opened the medicine bag he brought with him, he said, "You need to take the medicine to induce labor first. Fortunately, these medicines were all available when I came here."
Manbao took the medicine bag, smelled it, identified the medicine inside, and picked out one of them. Then he opened the other separately wrapped medicines and grabbed three fingers and put them in.
The doctor couldn't help but sigh and reached out to stop her, but Manbao had already handed the medicine to Dafu Niang and said, "Go and boil the medicine quickly. I'll pay for it. If you boil it well and quickly, you may still be able to keep a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, you'll have to prepare another betrothal gift for your son."
When Dafu Niang heard this, she didn't dare to delay any longer and ran to the kitchen with the herbs in her arms.
The doctor was unable to stop her, but when he saw her start to skillfully pick out medicine from the medicine box, he realized that she knew about medicine and even medicine.
Thinking about the tonic he prescribed for someone just today.
doctor:……
Manbao grabbed two more prescriptions, marked them differently, and handed them to Daji, who was standing beside him. "Go and boil the medicine. This one is number one, and this one is number two."
Daji agreed.
The doctor's eyebrows twitched violently, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Man secretly. Seeing that everyone was confused by her instructions and no one was around, he leaned over and whispered, "Even if you have an abortion at this time, the mother will hardly survive."
She was talking about the No. 2 medicine she prescribed, which was a life-saving abortion drug. Although the doctor knew it would rarely be used, he still brought it with him so that the patient's family could choose to save the mother or the baby.
Manbao said: "Give it a try. After the abortion, as long as the dead fetus is taken out smoothly and the bleeding stops, it will be fine."
"Is it so easy to stop the bleeding in her condition?"
Manbao also knew this, so he sighed and said, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."
She turned to go into the house and said to the doctor before going in, "Maybe I'll need something from your medicine box. Please wait here."
The doctor thought about how he had just cheated someone not long ago, and nodded awkwardly, "Sure, sure."
After people went in, they began to wonder, whose girl is this? She seems to have good medical skills. Since she is an outsider, could it be that someone is going to open a pharmacy in their Beihai County?
Manbao went in to check on the woman in labor. Her lower back was raised and the bleeding had basically stopped, but she could still feel her life slipping away.
She was terrified and held the old woman tightly with one hand. When she saw Zhou Man come in, she looked at her expectantly and said, "Madam, what did the doctor say? I, I..."
Manbao said seriously, "You can save her, but you have to listen to me and the doctor. If I tell you to push hard, you push hard, and if I tell you to be quiet, you stay quiet."
Upon hearing this, the wealthy lady breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you." There was no trace of the momentum she had in the previous argument.
But she was still worried. After all, Zhou Man was a stranger, and he looked particularly young. She grabbed the old woman's hand and couldn't help asking her, "Grandma Jin, am I really okay?"
Granny Jin glanced at Zhou Man, sighed in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "It's okay, it's okay."
She patted her hands and comforted her: "I also heard what the doctor said. You will be able to give birth after drinking the medicine. You should rest for now."
The two women on the side were not so composed, obviously having heard the doctor's diagnosis.
They didn't want to stay in this house anymore. If Dafu's family did this, there would be two deaths. Not only would it be unlucky for them to stay in the house, but they might also get into trouble. Dafu and his wife were not very reasonable people.
So they looked around and each made an excuse, "I'm going to the kitchen to check the medicine."
"I'll go show you the big girl and the second girl."
The two men ran away.
The rich lady did not have the energy to think. She was clinging to Grandma Jin's driftwood like a drowning person, trying to float out of the water, and she didn't pay any attention to anything else.
In such silence, Manbao touched her belly all over, and then took the needle and tried to prick her body.
She couldn't help but spasm. Her stomach, which had been painful but motionless since the fall, moved. She stared at Zhou Man with wide eyes.
Zhou Man's eyes lit up, knowing that her needle had worked. She held her down and whispered, "Don't move. I'll let you move later. Then you can move."
Zhou Man's small hands gently slid across her belly. When they reached a certain spot, he pushed gently, which made the mother feel pain. After doing this several times, the baby in her belly moved again...
After an unknown amount of time, Manbao frowned and stopped.
It's too late. It's already seven months. It's unlikely to correct the fetal position now. Letting him move a few times is already the limit. And we don't know what the umbilical cord is like. If it's wrapped around the neck...
Manbao came back to his senses and said to the woman in labor, "It's okay. Just lie down and relax. Don't move."
The medicine for inducing labor was ready, and Dafu Niang brought it in. Manbao took the medicine and saw that all the needles in her body had been removed, so he gave her the medicine.
After she took the medicine, she gave her acupuncture to speed up the effect.
Dafujia felt the pain and couldn't help but scream. Manbao held her down and said, "Don't scream, keep your strength. Come, follow my breathing first..."
Because the fetus still needed to be corrected, Manbao did not ask her to exert force, but instead adjusted her breathing and waited for the cervix to open.
This was not her first pregnancy, and her body had its own memory. Combined with the labor-inducing drugs, her cervix opened very quickly. Manbao, who was already prepared, reached out and adjusted her fetal position.
Not to mention the rich lady standing next to her, even Grandma Jin widened her eyes and almost couldn't help but scream.
When Dafu Niang saw Zhou Man pulling out his bloody hand, her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground. She felt that her daughter-in-law was doomed.
Even though she was useless and couldn't even give birth to a son, he had spent all his family's wealth to marry her. If she died, his son wouldn't be able to marry another one, unless...
Dafu Niang looked up at her house and felt like the sky was falling.
See you at 6pm
