Chapter 188 Ulcer Doctor
Li San Niang had just prepared a simplified version of saline solution and used it to soak a cloth, which she then placed over the bandaged intestines of the person with severed intestines.
This is to prevent the intestines from lacking moisture, as they would become dry if exposed to the outside, affecting their activity.
Hearing the question from outside the door, Li San Niang turned around and saw Doctor Sun, and was overjoyed!
Here comes the helper!
Li San Niang stood inside and told Sun Yijian that she was going to cut off a section of the soldier's intestines, sew it up to the other severed part, put the intestines back into his stomach, and then sew it up again.
"I would appreciate it if Medical Supervisor Sun could help me."
The three surgeons who came with Physician Sun had taken over the patients that Physician Li, Physician Cui, and Physician Gao were treating. Except for the patient with a knife wound on his thigh, the other two doctors were treating patients while keeping an eye on Physician Sun's side. They saw Physician Sun standing outside the shop talking to the people inside.
The two then stepped forward, and then they heard what Li San Niang said. They both thought that Li San Niang was just daydreaming.
"Lady, let this soldier go peacefully. Why make things so difficult for him?"
The surgeon who spoke had been staying in the military camp all along and had no idea that Li Sanniang was the same Li Sanniang who knew CPR.
However, even if he knew that Li San Niang was the same Li San Niang, he probably wouldn't believe that someone whose stomach had been ripped open by a sharp weapon and whose intestines were exposed could be saved by Li San Niang's stitching.
But Dr. Sun believed him.
The second time Li San Niang gave a lecture, Dr. Sun actually used it on a soldier who was accidentally injured during training while he was in the army camp. The soldier's wound was treated with the disinfection and suturing techniques taught by Li San Niang, and the soldier's wound healed faster and left a smaller scar than other soldiers with similar injuries.
This already made Dr. Sun very happy.
Therefore, Doctor Sun actually believed Li San Niang's shocking words.
He believed that Li San Niang's actions could save the heartbroken soldier, and even if they couldn't, it would be a new direction for ulcer doctors to improve their skills.
Within a quarter of an hour, Dr. Sun not only changed his clothes but also washed his hands and face with hot water. He borrowed a spare mask and hat from Li San Niang and went into the shop. He stood with Li San Niang and looked at the heartbroken man lying on the door panel on the table.
Of course, the doctors outside didn't waste any time either. Apart from the doctor who was treating the thigh injury who was still busy, the rest of them started treating patients with non-life-threatening injuries. They also took the time to come to the door to see what Li San Niang and Doctor Sun were doing inside.
Qiu Xiang also came in, of course, after changing her clothes and washing her hands and face. As Li San Niang had instructed, she gave the heartbroken man a piece of ginseng to suck on, and then stood aside.
Sun, the medical supervisor, adopted a learning attitude and listened to Li San Niang's words very much. She did whatever Li San Niang told her to do.
The doctor, who had previously told Li Sanniang not to have any unrealistic ideas and not to make things difficult for the soldiers, called out from the doorway, "The anesthetic powder is ready, lady, please take it over."
Qiu Xiang took the bowl of numbing powder, went to the heartbroken man's side, took out some ginseng slices, pinched the heartbroken man's chin with her hand, and the heartbroken man's mouth opened. She then forced his head back, which opened his esophagus, and she easily poured the numbing powder down his throat.
While waiting for the anesthetic to take effect, Li San Niang carefully explained to Doctor Sun what she needed to do, what she needed Doctor Sun's help with, and what problems she might encounter, and whether Doctor Sun had any solutions.
The two began a lively discussion.
After listening to Li San Niang's words, Dr. Sun, though unsure of the outcome, felt that it should be feasible.
"If it can be pushed back into the stomach and the patient can survive the high fever caused by the infection, he should be able to live."
In the end, the two of them realized that it would be difficult for them to do all this during the relatively short period of drowsiness caused by the anesthetic, given that they were alone.
Therefore, Li San Niang suggested that Tang Mingyue also change her clothes and come in to help.
"Dr. Tang is very talented in this field."
Then, Tang Mingyue tidied herself up and went inside. Li Sanniang then carefully explained to Tang Mingyue what to do and what he needed to do.
As for why the doctors who came with Medical Supervisor Sun were not called in to help?
First, of the three doctors, apart from the one who was still treating the knife wound on his thigh, who had heard Li San Niang speak at the clinic before, the other two had never heard of her, and they didn't seem to believe that Li San Niang's method could work.
Secondly, since Tang Mingyue is already here, why bother going to the Imperial Medical Bureau?
Going to the far one is unnecessary.
Tang Mingyue was both nervous and excited. She was nervous because she didn't know if she could do what Li Sanniang had asked her to do, and excited because this was truly an unprecedented rescue operation.
Tang Mingyue felt it was totally worth it to be able to participate in something like this!
Tang Mingyue even thought that her decision a few years ago to bring her family and come to Chang'an despite the pressure from her parents back home was indeed very wise.
If I hadn't made the decision to come to Chang'an back then, how would I have had the opportunity to participate in such an unprecedented event?
In fact, while explaining things to Tang Mingyue, Li San Niang had directly opened the system in her mind and selected the reward for Task Two: the use of a sterile operating room.
Li San Niang felt that if a scene that others could also see appeared, she would immediately take it back, and those who should have seen it would just consider it an illusion.
After clicking, Li San Niang discovered that the system displayed the following explanation: "Due to the difference in time, the reward only retains its sterility function and has no other functions at the moment. Is the host sure you want to use it?"
Li San Niang thought that this meant the same thing she had thought before: that air disinfection was simply about ensuring sterility as much as possible.
There were no other tools or instruments available.
After Li San Niang clicked "yes," a slight buzzing sound followed, and she felt the temperature in the wine shop drop considerably, and the air become fresher. Not only was the lingering smell of wine gone, but it also carried a hint of disinfectant.
Furthermore, in Li San Niang's vision, there were glowing lines that framed a 3D three-dimensional space with a radius of about two meters from the center of the broken-hearted man. This size was roughly the size of an ordinary operating room.
Beyond this space, that is, beyond the glowing lines, should be the original space.
Li San Niang was also certain that only she could see these lines.
There was also a countdown clock high up, counting down to 24 hours. Li San Niang was certain that this was the effective time for the sterile operating room to be used.
Li San Niang called out to the heartbroken man a few times, then pricked his stomach with a curved needle. Seeing that he didn't react, she knew that the numbing powder had taken effect.
Li San Niang thought to herself, "This anesthetic powder is really effective. I'll have to ask Physician Sun for advice later."
The large porcelain bottle filled with saline solution was originally an ornament in the wine shop. Now Tang Mingyue was holding it, while Li Sanniang and Sun Yijian each took one side of the intestine and had Tang Mingyue pour in the saline solution to rinse the intestine that had been exposed to the outside of the body and was contaminated with dirt.
Li San Niang very gently moved and turned the intestines little by little, rinsing them thoroughly. As a result, she rinsed them so carefully that there wasn't much saline solution left.
Li San Niang then said to Qiu Xiang, "About one part salt to one hundred parts cooled water is fine."
Preparing saline solution at home, especially under the current circumstances, is impossible to achieve a perfect ratio and complete sterility; it can only be approximate, but better than nothing.
