Chapter 3052 Injection
As soon as Wen Tiandong left, Liu Dalang's wife sat by the bed and cried with her face covered.
Liu Dalang's face was dazed for a moment before he said, "Don't cry. You're crying before I'm even dead. When I die, will you still be able to cry?"
Liu Da's wife was choked, but thinking that Liu Dalang was about to die, she decided not to argue with him and sat quietly aside wiping her tears.
Liu Dalang was quiet for a while, then turned to ask her, "How much money do we have left in our house?"
Mrs. Liu said, "There's not much money left, just over three hundred yuan."
Liu Dalang said, "Keep it for your children to marry."
Mrs. Liu: "What about your coffin?"
Liu Dalang looked at Liu Erlang and said to him, "I want my father's coffin. I think he can live for a long time. I will give him the trees I planted on the mountain. When my Dalang gets married, I will let him pay for a coffin for his grandfather."
Liu Erlang: "...I don't have any objections, but as for Dad..."
He may not agree.
However, Liu Erlang still agreed. He was about to die anyway, so he just agreed first. If his father didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.
Mrs. Liu became even more sorrowful, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Liu Erlang could only comfort her, "Sister-in-law, brother is lucky. The medical department won't charge us for the medicine during this period."
The Liu family's financial situation is not bad. According to the classification, they are considered a middle-class family, so they can save on medical fees, but they have to pay for the medicine themselves.
But ever since Liu Dalang's wound caused convulsions and the Liu family decided to give up treatment, Wen Tiandong persuaded them to continue with the treatment, waiving not only the medical fee but also the medicine fee.
This time, I took Lord Wen's car from Qingzhou City to Beihai County, saving on the car fare, food and accommodation.
Yes, in order to prevent the Liu family from giving up and to try their new medicine, Zhou Man agreed to Wen Tiandong's suggestion of providing food and accommodation.
Liu Erlang's words did not comfort Liu Da's wife. Although she did not have to pay for her medical treatment during this period, her illness was not cured.
For them, as long as the disease is not cured, it is useless. Thinking of the consequences of losing her husband, Mrs. Liu couldn't help crying again.
They were all prepared to accept the worst outcome, but they didn't expect that although Liu Dalang's condition did not improve, it did not worsen either, and he showed no signs of death for three consecutive days.
Not to mention Liu Erlang and Liu Da's wife, even Liu Dalang's eyes widened, and he gained some confidence, "I, can I get better?"
At this moment, Wen Tiandong, who had to run to the test room sixteen times every day, shouted excitedly and turned to run to Zhou Man, "Sir, sir, sir, the results are out, the results are out!"
Zhou Man immediately got up and went to the test room with him.
It was seen that among the three parts of the medicine liquid, the parts that were not contaminated by the medicine liquid grew Penicillium, while the parts that were contaminated by the medicine liquid did not.
Wen Tiandong asked excitedly, "Is this what's going on?"
Zhou Man nodded, "Yes, it works."
Wen Tiandong immediately said, "I'll go give him medicine right away."
Zhou Man stopped him and said, "First, use a needle to dip a little bit and test the situation. If there is no adverse reaction, then use it on him."
Wen Tiandong agreed.
After he brought the liquid medicine to the ward, he remembered to ask, "Sir, is this for drinking?"
"No, it's injected," Zhou Man said. "First, try a little under the skin. If there are no adverse reactions, inject it into the muscle."
This requires additional preparation, but the medical department has little else but a lot of needles and instruments, so Wen Tiandong quickly found the things.
He first used a hollow needle to take a small amount of medicine, and then followed Zhou Man's advice and pricked his wrist.
Wen Tiandong took out the needle and saw a lump on his wrist, so he looked at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man held his stomach and looked at it, then looked at the needle and felt that the medicine had already entered.
It is not difficult for doctors to make the medicine enter the body through the skin, even for some specific people.
For example, people who like to apply poison on arrows, swords, and dart heads.
There are very few poisons that kill instantly upon contact with blood. Most poisons are applied to weapons and then enter the skin after injuring people. The consequences are more likely to be paralysis, panic, dizziness, vomiting and other effects that make people lose their combat effectiveness.
It was after this method of applying poison was invented that doctors realized that in addition to taking the medicine through the mouth, the treatment effect could be better and more direct if it entered the body through the skin.
Because the same poison, if drunk from the mouth, is likely to be killed by the contents of the stomach and intestines, which will actually slow down the time it takes for the poison to take effect;
It can enter the blood faster by entering through the skin, and by skipping two routes, the poison will take effect faster.
Not only Zhou Man knew this truth, but Xiao Yuanzheng and other imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital also knew it.
Before she went to the Western Regions, they had discussed ways to make poisons take effect quickly. At that time, they mentioned that since drugs take effect faster when they enter the muscles, could they be used to treat diseases through the skin?
However, their conditions were limited and they just thought about it. This was the first case of actually putting it into action, especially intramuscular injection.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhou Man looked at the small bag and nodded slightly to Wen Tiandong.
Wen Tiandong asked Liu Dalang, "Are you feeling unwell? Are you panicking? Do you feel like vomiting or anything like that?"
Liu Dalang shook his head.
Wen Tiandong carefully felt the patient's pulse and then gave his seat to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man also touched him and looked at his complexion. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him, so he nodded and said, "Give him the medicine."
Wen Tiandong happily agreed, then asked, "How much?"
Zhou Man was shocked when he saw him trying to get the pig bladder. "Are you going to inject him with this and kill him?"
Wen Tiandong said, "This is already the smallest. If you want a smaller one, you have to sew another one."
Zhou Man pointed at the needle and said, "Use this. Give him five needles first."
This needle can only take a small amount of liquid medicine and then insert it into the body. Zhou Man was cautious and decided to give five needles first.
Wen Tiandong agreed.
Liu Dalang thought it was the same as the acupuncture before, so he didn't take it seriously. However, when the needle was inserted, it hurt just as much as the previous one, and he almost trembled.
Wen Tiandong looked at his hands, then at his butt. "There's a lot of flesh on your butt. Why don't you spank me there?"
Otherwise, it would not look good with five needles stuck in his hands, and it would make him feel embarrassed.
Liu Dalang cried, crying in pain.
But he heard that this medicine was specially made for him, so he forced himself not to object, and a hope rose in his heart, thinking that maybe it would really work this time.
If it hurts this much, it must be effective, right?
Zhou Man stood with his hands in his sleeves and watched him give acupuncture. Liu Da's wife, who was standing beside him, looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. But seeing that she was not embarrassed at all, he could only remain silent.
Wen Tiandong didn't think it was a big deal and even asked Zhou Man for his opinion after getting the injection.
After completing the five injections, Zhou Man carefully looked at the five needle holes and frowned, saying, "We need to find a way to improve the needle."
See you at 10pm
