Chapter 3102 Practice
Sun Xin had already threaded the needle and thread. As soon as Pan finished, he handed it to him. Pan took it and sewed it up. Then he wiped the wound with ash and untied the pig and handed it to Sun Xin, "Put it aside."
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows, very surprised at his suturing skills, which seemed even better than those of Dr. Tian and the others. Most importantly, his hands and feet were very dexterous, and he didn't seem unfamiliar with it even though it was his first time, which showed how many horses he had castrated before.
Zhou Man watched with great interest. When Niu Ergou took out the second piglet and fixed it in place, she stepped forward and said, "Let me touch it too."
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan went forward with her and said, "Touch it." Anyway, it was already fixed and could not hurt her.
Zhou Man stepped forward, held Bai Shan's hand and squatted down. Veterinarian Pan was about to give her some instructions, but she had already stretched out her sinful hand and touched the piglet. She was very steady and precise, and she touched that spot at once. She also pressed it, signaling Veterinarian Pan to touch it.
Veterinarian Pan touched it and fell silent. After a while, he said, "Sir, you are very talented. You..." Have you ever thought about becoming a veterinarian?
Everyone turned around and looked at him in silence. Veterinarian Pan also felt that he had said something stupid. Zhou Man was a doctor, an imperial physician, who treated people. How could he be a veterinarian?
Zhou Man was eager to try, staring at the knife in Pan's hand and said, "Why don't I take this one?"
Veterinarian Pan glared.
Zhou Man had already reached out to him.
Veterinarian Pan looked at Bai Shan cautiously, and seeing that he had no objection, he put the knife in Zhou Man's hand, stood up and gave her the stool.
Zhou Man sat down in his seat, looked at the pig in front of him, and went over the steps he had just seen in his mind. Then he grabbed the knife and cut it. It was just as quick and neat, and even the incision looked the same as the one made by Veterinarian Pan just now.
Veterinarian Pan's eyebrows jumped, and he felt that Zhou Man was extremely talented and was a good candidate to be a veterinarian.
Zhou Man's next move was no match for Veterinarian Pan. She couldn't squeeze out the testicles, so Veterinarian Pan instructed her. She quickly found the trick, took the scissors amid the pig's howls, and cut it off just as neatly. Veterinarian Pan looked at the incision and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The next step was to separate the tube and cut it. This was actually the most difficult part. When Veterinarian Pan was wondering whether to take over, Zhou Man had already found the tube neatly, separated it from the blood vessel, cleaned it and the white membrane, and then sutured it and applied wood ash.
Zhou Man asked, "Will just wood ash be enough?"
Veterinarian Pan said, "There are other medicinal concoctions, but I'm not sure which one would be best for it. We used wood ash when we castrated the horse. Pay close attention to it over the next two days. If the wound doesn't heal and shows signs of worsening, we can use medication then."
Zhou Man nodded and looked thoughtfully at the two little pigs being sent back to the pigsty.
They are very tenacious and gradually recovered after two days of pain. Veterinarian Pan visited them every day and applied some medicine to their wounds. After making sure they were healed, he reported that the castration was successful.
When Bai Shan heard this, he sent people to buy more piglets. Even pig farmers from Qingzhou City came over, as well as peddlers and small merchants. They could buy piglets from other counties and bring them here to sell, and they could earn dozens of coins on a round trip.
Ordinary businessmen naturally look down on this little money. They just want to take this opportunity to establish some friendship with Bai Shan. Unfortunately, Bai Shan has now handed the matter over to County Magistrate Dong.
Zhou Man pays more attention to it than him.
Zhou Man was so concerned because she had taken a fancy to the piglets in the pigpen. She wanted to practice on them. Of course, she was not practicing on them, but on Dr. Tian and the others.
"Don't underestimate the importance of castrating a pig. This is a test of the most fundamental and crucial skills of a surgeon, from finding the site, incision, cutting, separation, and suturing..." Zhou Man said, "If necessary, there are also two steps: stopping the bleeding and applying medication. If you can master this technique, your skills as a surgeon will take a huge step forward."
Doctor Tian and the other two were stunned. "Sir, Master Zhou, you want us to be veterinarians?"
Zhou Man spread his hands and said, "Then I can't find any live patients for you to practice on. I told you to find chickens, ducks, and rabbits to practice on. It's been a long time, and I haven't seen you practice on any livestock."
"Of course, if you don't want to learn this technique, forget it," she said. "However, for external injuries, separation and suturing are the most basic."
The three doctors were silent. Doctor Wei didn't think for long before immediately agreeing, "I am willing to learn. Please teach me."
He had only heard from a few colleagues that good doctors would suture wounds to stop bleeding, but he had only heard of it and had never seen anyone do it. When he was thinking about it privately, he often watched his wife sewing clothes, and he wondered at the time, does sewing flesh have to be the same as sewing clothes?
It wasn't until I went to the hospital and saw Zhou Man do it myself that I realized it was still different. The needles used were different, the thread was different, and the stitches were different...
The injured person who was sent there at that time was bleeding heavily, but she was able to reduce the amount of bleeding with a needle, and after suturing, the bleeding basically stopped. This is an effect that is far beyond the reach of medication alone.
He had no one to teach him before, so he had no place to learn. Now that someone was willing to teach him, he naturally wanted to learn. Seeing that Doctor Tian and Doctor Shao were still silent, he didn't bother to wait for their response, fearing that if they didn't agree for a long time, Master Zhou would get angry and really stop teaching him.
Seeing that Doctor Wei wanted to learn, Doctors Tian and Shao hesitated for a moment and then gritted their teeth and agreed.
Zhou Man nodded and said, "Then you guys should prepare your things. You can go to see Veterinarian Pan to discuss and learn from him when you have time."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
Veterinarian Pan was very surprised by the three people who came to his door, but he did not suspect that they were going to steal his job, because the three of them were considered to be famous doctors in Qingzhou. Both their reputation and income were higher than that of Veterinarian Pan, a veterinarian. Well, far higher.
How desperate must they be to learn veterinary skills?
Then I heard them explain that it was Lord Zhou who asked them to come here to study, saying that they were to learn ulcer medicine, first on pigs, and then on humans.
Veterinarian Pan recalled Zhou Man's beautiful castration technique and couldn't help asking, "Then... can I also treat people?"
Three doctors: ...
Finally, Doctor Wei considered and said, "Perhaps you could become an ulcer doctor? Medical skills always have something in common."
Veterinarian Pan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed them and said, "You want to learn, right? It's simple. I'll teach you how to treat pigs, and you can teach me how to treat people. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just something like ulcer surgery will do. It all involves surgery, so I should be able to do it."
How are these the same?
Same thing with the head. Can you take the pulse?
But the three of them still followed Veterinarian Pan to the pigpen outside the city, and then three piglets in the pigpen died.
See you tomorrow
