Chapter 340 Uncle Tao's Body (2)
According to Xia Tian's experience, the patient's systemic symptoms were so severe, and he even suffered from hypothermia. It was conceivable that the prognosis would not be very good, and anything could happen.
She turned the words over in her mouth several times, then spoke carefully, "Si Ye, Uncle Tao's current situation is not optimistic, and I can't make up my mind..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you if anything happens." Si Ye remained calm.
He had actually had a premonition when he entered the door that given Uncle Tao's current physical condition, he might not be able to survive until tomorrow morning.
No one wanted to be caught in such an unexpected situation, so he had already prepared himself mentally. "Don't be nervous, I know what's going on. I contacted the other people in the tribe when I left just now, and they'll be here soon. If there's anything you can do or if you need my help, just let me know."
"Honestly... I don't have any other options." Xia Tian shook her head helplessly, then paused before continuing, "But it's not that we haven't tried our best. It's just that these measures... may cause some pain and even accelerate the deterioration of the disease."
Si Ye knew that Xia Tian wouldn't say such a thing unless she was truly unsure. He understood. "Just tell me what you've tried, and we'll discuss it."
Hearing him say this, Xia Tian took a deep breath and said, "Actually, the method is very simple. It's just a gastrointestinal lavage."
"What did you say?" Si Ye heard of this "treatment method" for the first time and subconsciously asked, "Wait, the stomach and intestines you mentioned are the part where we digest food... but how do you flush it?"
Xia Tian took out the herbs she had prepared early in the morning from her pocket and handed them over. "Boil these herbs into water and divide it into two portions. Drink one portion orally, and the other portion..."
The human digestive tract has two ports. One is the entrance, and the other is naturally...
Si Ye hadn't expected that Xia Tian would actually come up with this kind of treatment method. Even someone like him who claimed to have seen the world was at a loss.
He subconsciously took the herbs, but did not turn around. He just stood there blankly, looking a little dazed.
Xia Tian also understood the impact this method had on him. In fact, this was a treatment procedure that was only developed in modern times and did not have a long history.
Because for a long time in history, some parts of the human body have been treated privately, and treatment technology is underdeveloped, usually only conservative treatment can be used.
Later, as general surgery continued to develop and people's minds gradually became more liberated, they slowly accepted some treatment methods.
In fact, Xia Tian herself is not a medical expert. Her abilities are limited to basic knowledge and first aid. That is, she can only hold on until the ambulance sends the patient to the hospital. She cannot provide further in-depth treatment.
In Uncle Tao's case, if emergency treatment is given as for food poisoning, the gastrointestinal tract should be cleaned to remove the contents first, and then the patient should be sent to the hospital for further treatment.
The problem is, there's no "further treatment" here, and the intestinal cleansing is extremely painful, and in the end, it might not have any effect, but instead increase the pain...
At that moment, both of them had blank expressions and stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
Xia Tian made up her mind and reminded Si Ye to go out to boil medicine, while she stayed behind to watch over the place.
What if I fail...it's better than not trying at all!
