Chapter 287 The Girl’s Medical Skills (2)
"Actually, you don't need to prepare anything." Xia Tian paused, "I need a fishbone needle for piercing holes, and a piece of ramie fiber we processed last time."
There are herbal remedies for external application to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. Clean water and animal skins for bandaging are also readily available. All that is missing is for her to do the sutures.
"Okay, I'll go find it right now." After confirming that only these two things were needed, Si Ye immediately changed into a beast form and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the injured orc, and no one noticed Si Ye's departure.
Xia Tian stayed where she was and helped out.
Originally, Uncle Tao thought the girl was being polite, but when he saw that she was more skilled at bandaging than he was, he just shut up.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how lucky Aye was to have found such a female!
Also helping were some older females in the tribe, who chatted about family matters while taking care of Lu's injuries.
Lu finally finished complaining about the strange things that had happened to him, and then he realized belatedly that the person who was taking care of him... was actually such a beautiful and gentle female!
The most important thing is that she doesn’t seem to be a half-orc... Wait, is he the Xia Xia that Aye mentioned?
"Are you Xia Xia?" Lu's eyes widened in disbelief. "You are really Xia Xia, and you came here with A Ye?!"
"Hmm?" Xia Tian didn't quite understand the other person's reaction, but she still responded politely. "My name is Xia Tian, but Si Ye usually calls me Xia Xia. I came here with him. He's preparing the materials to suture your wound now, so he should be back soon."
"What do you mean by suturing?" Uncle Tao was listening at the side, a little confused.
He had heard that Xia Tian was a doctor. At that time, Si Ye was seriously injured, and it was because of meeting her that he was lucky enough to recover.
However, he also knew the special nature of Si Ye's blood. As long as it was not immediately fatal and there was enough nutrition, he could recover.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Xia Tian’s medical skills, but he doesn’t believe that his family can be so blessed to have such a beautiful and kind female with superb medical skills become a family member.
This is really...
"Suture means sewing up the wound with needle and thread. This makes it easier for the wound to recover and prevents the wound from being exposed to the air." Xia Tian's explanation was simple and direct.
This is a common surgical technique for treating wounds on Earth and is nothing new, but it is still somewhat shocking here.
"Can the wound heal faster by simply sewing it with needle and thread?" Someone immediately raised the question.
This is a playing-house way of treating wounds, where the skin and flesh are cut and then sutured. What kind of treatment is this?
How crude and simple! If there's a wound, just sew it up. Is it like treating the human body like a rag doll and stitching it up enough to heal it?
"I'm curious too. But when we get injured, we go straight to the medical bay, so I don't know anything about this. Maybe it's just suturing?"
[But I didn't see her suturing Lao Si last time he was injured. Does this method really work?]
[Just a quick aside, this seems to be an ancient way of treating wounds, but the specific instructions have been lost...]
