Chapter 708 Cooperation
The doctors all gathered here with Doctor Xu, and the patient was carried over directly. Manbao had little qualifications, so she was squeezed to the outermost edge. She was short, and even with her toes raised, she couldn't see what was going on. She only saw a dark red spot on the wooden bed.
She quickly grabbed one of them and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
"He climbed up onto the roof to lay thatch, but somehow he lost his footing and fell down, pulling over a piece of wood, which fell on him..."
A dozen doctors were crowded in the medical tent. Doctor Xu quickly kicked most of them out, leaving only four or five senior doctors with relatively high medical skills.
Everyone moved in an orderly manner, and soon, servants followed orders and brought in hot water, and then brought out a basin of blood.
Prescriptions were handed out one after another. The doctor standing outside the medical tent watching the excitement had nothing to do. He stepped over the medicine boys, took the prescriptions and went to the pharmacy to get them. He glanced at the prescriptions and said, "This one stops bleeding, and this one replenishes Qi. I've used a lot of the medicine on this Qi-replenishing prescription in the past two days. I'm afraid the pharmacy will be short of medicine."
"This is life-saving medicine. I carry some in my medicine box. You can go to the pharmacy and get one first. I will boil it for him here." Another doctor also glanced at the prescription and said without hesitation.
Every doctor carries some medicinal herbs in his medicine box, most of which are medicines for the most common emergency conditions he encounters, among which the most common ones are those for stopping bleeding, replenishing qi and reducing fever.
"Manbao, come in!"
Manbao, who was watching the excitement, immediately became alert, nodded slightly to Zhou Lijun, and quickly walked into the medical tent.
The clothes of the person lying on the bed had been cut into pieces. It looked like the wound was on his head. Doctor Xu contributed the hemostatic powder in his medicine box. Doctor Ji had already sutured the wound and applied hemostatic powder. Although it had some effect, the white cloth that had just been wrapped was still stained red.
So Dr. Ji asked her to come in to stop the bleeding.
Now all the doctors in Yizhou City know that she has an excellent acupuncture skill to stop bleeding, which is unmatched.
Manbao felt his pulse, frowned, and used a needle to stop the bleeding on his head.
Seeing that the bleeding had indeed subsided, Dr. Xu immediately took off his headscarf to clean the wound and applied medicine again.
Doctor Ji saw Manbao frowning and looking at the patient's abdomen, so he asked, "You also think there is blood accumulation in his abdomen, right?"
Doctor Xu was startled and looked up and asked, "What? There's blood in the abdomen? What should I do?"
The doctor in the tent looked at the patient's stomach. There were only some scratches on it, not even a bleeding wound, let alone the condition inside the abdomen.
But they can't just cut open people's stomachs, right?
Doctor Ji pressed the patient's stomach, then reached out and tapped it. After hearing the sound, he signaled another doctor to come and listen.
Another doctor examined him and said, "Let's bleed him and have them make some medicine to stop the bleeding."
Then he looked at Manbao and asked, "I wonder if this intra-abdominal bleeding can be stopped with acupuncture?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "It can't be seen with the naked eye, so I can't guarantee it."
The doctor pondered for a moment and then said, "My hearing is pretty good. Let me listen to it for you. It's not 100% accurate, but it's still around 40% accurate."
Doctor Ji nodded slightly to Manbao, and Manbao knew that this was his humble statement. When he said it was four or five points, he was probably about seven or eight points sure.
Manbao said, "As long as I know where the bleeding is coming from, I'll be more confident in stopping it."
So the two began to work together.
After Manbao had inserted all the needles, Doctor Ji took a pair of small scissors and carefully made a small incision on his left abdomen. Doctor Xu took out a reed and handed it to Doctor Ji. Doctor Ji carefully inserted it, and soon, blood flowed out continuously.
A doctor carefully looked at the blood that was flowing out and saw some broken meat in it, so he picked it up with a pair of tongs to take a look.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little heavy.
This is a damage to the spleen.
When the blood flowing from the reed had subsided and stopped, Doctor Ji stabilized the reed slightly but did not take it out immediately.
Everyone carefully checked the patient's wounds, and soon the hemostatic medicine was ready.
Doctor Xu gave him the medicine, and Doctor Ji felt his pulse for a long time. Although his condition did not improve much, it did not get worse either.
That's a good thing.
And no more blood came out of the reed tube, which meant that the bleeding had stopped.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Ji then pulled out the reed tube and sutured the small incision.
Doctor Xu praised: "Doctor Ji is very experienced and can see the problem at a glance."
Doctor Ji laughed and said, "Doctor Chang's method of identifying symptoms by sound is indeed very effective. Otherwise, even if I knew he was bleeding in the abdomen, I wouldn't know where the bleeding was coming from."
Doctor Chang laughed and said, "That's because Miss Zhou's hemostatic needle is good. Otherwise, even if I could find out where the bleeding is, I wouldn't be able to stop it."
Man Bao, who had been watching the doctors treating the wound, was suddenly called upon. He was stunned for a moment and said, "That's because the doctors diagnosed well and mediated appropriately. Otherwise, even if I wanted to stop the bleeding, I wouldn't know how to insert the needle."
The four old doctors and a young doctor looked at each other, smiled, and nodded with satisfaction.
Manbao likes this atmosphere very much. Well, they just praise each other.
Doctor Ji glanced at the man who was still unconscious and said, "Alright, let him stay here. Manbao, how long can you keep this hemostatic needle?"
"Change the acupuncture points every half an hour, but it's not good to pierce them for too long."
Doctor Ji nodded and said, "The hemostatic medicine will gradually take effect. Come and check on him every half an hour until dark."
Doctor Chang also nodded: "He is currently unconscious. We will not know his condition until he wakes up. His head injury is not light."
"Yes," Doctor Ji said, "Now it seems that the abdominal injury has eased. The most serious one is the head injury."
Doctor Ji has been thinking about this thing on the brain for his entire life but still can't figure it out.
Some people were hit with a brick, and even though they were bleeding, they could still be alive and kicking. However, some people were just hit on the head with a spoon, and at most a bump would appear, but they might die instantly.
Doctor Ji had the opportunity to see what was inside people's stomachs and chests, and he had also seen the legs and the bones and flesh in the hands, but he had never seen the head.
Manbao has never seen it either.
She had dissected the belly, chest, hands and feet of an anthropomorphic model, but it seemed she had never thought of dissecting the head of an anthropomorphic model.
Manbao was conflicted. Should she have a cesarean section when she got home?
While he was still hesitating, County Magistrate Tang arrived. He was supervising work in another refugee village today. When he heard that someone had fallen from a roof in the neighboring village, he immediately came to see.
Doctor Ji and others immediately went out to greet him. County Magistrate Tang took a look inside and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the patient was not dead. He asked the doctors to do their best to treat him.
Seeing that his voice was hoarse, Manbao said, "Master Tang, I have some tea for you to soothe your throat. Would you like to drink some?"
County Magistrate Tang had been talking so much these past few days, mostly shouting, that he had lost his voice. He asked, "What kind of tea is it?"
"Medicinal tea."
