Chapter 45 Examination (Part 5): Human Anatomy Diagrams
Li San Niang, who hadn't intended to sleep outside, found her breathing slowing down shortly after touching the bed. She slept soundly for almost half an hour before being woken up by her mother.
When Li San Niang woke up, she felt that the meatball and mushroom soup must have been so delicious that she ate too much, which reduced the blood supply to her brain and made her so sleepy that she fell asleep.
After getting up and drinking half a cup of tea and rinsing their mouths, everyone headed to the peony room one after another.
I arrived not too late, knocked on the door and went in. About half of the people were drinking tea and chatting.
After waiting for a while, Li San Niang looked around and saw that there were more than ten more people in the room than in the morning.
Li San Niang first glanced at her father, then looked questioningly at Doctor Gao. Doctor Qian then said directly, "Oh, Li San Niang spoke very well this morning, so I invited a few colleagues from the alliance to listen as well. Li San Niang, please don't mind."
"It is Third Sister's honor to be valued by Doctor Qian. The more people who come, the better. I hope that all the doctors in our alliance can master this method. It would be a great merit to save a life in the future!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Sanniang, seeing that everyone was almost there, stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, next I will share with you in detail the CPR method, which is the method I used to save the drowning daughter of the Duke of Liang and the medical supervisor Sun in the army camp."
This time, Li San Niang took out a folded drawing she had prepared in advance, unfolded it, and hung it up. It was a somewhat biased and inaccurate anatomical diagram of the main organs of the human body drawn by her second brother Li at home.
Drawing this doesn't require precision or accuracy. You could just go to any medical school and find a medical student who has taken a systemic anatomy exam, and they could draw it for you with a fairly good score.
Therefore, this is not very difficult.
However, in order to provide a rigorous explanation, Li San Niang got up very early and went with Li Er Xiong to the home of a butcher in the countryside to find a pig that had been gutted. Li Er Xiong carefully observed the pig before they returned to paint.
When Li Erxiong got home, he told Li Ersao that it was fortunate he hadn't eaten breakfast before going, otherwise he would have definitely thrown up.
Li San Niang was used to the smell of blood. Although it was different from that of humans, she could still accept it. After all, she could stand the smell of the specimens she had soaked in the past, so what was there that she couldn't stand?
Therefore, this diagram of human internal organs is quite rare. After all, even nowadays, the bodies of heinous criminals who have been torn apart by chariots, dismembered, or beheaded are allowed to be taken back by their families for proper burial.
Li San Niang wouldn't be so heartless as to dig up someone's grave, right? Besides, who knows if there are any germs on an untreated grave? What if she gets infected?
When this picture was posted, everyone present, including Mr. Li himself, was stunned!
Because at home, only Li San Niang and Li Er Xiong completed this painting together, and Li's father truly did not know about it.
After a dozen seconds of complete silence, a sudden burst of noise erupted as dozens of people pointed at the picture and stared in shock at Li San Niang's calm face.
The sound of the teacup hitting the table with a "bang" gradually silenced the chatter.
"Oh my, where did you go and dig up people's graves, Li San Niangzi? How many did you dig up to draw such a detailed diagram of human internal organs?"
The first to speak was surprisingly Dr. Sun Chengren, who was most likely to be at odds with the Li family!
Strange, very strange!
Logically, he shouldn't have asked questions and waited for Li Sanniang to give an explanation. He should have directly made a judgment, saying that Li Sanniang disrespected the dead, disregarded her ancestors, and was unworthy of being a doctor, for digging up someone's grave.
Li San Niang first raised a question in her mind and put the matter aside, planning to discuss it with her father and the others when she had the chance.
"Dr. Sun, you flatter me!" Li Sanniang bowed first, then answered slowly and calmly, "I would never dig up someone's grave. This diagram was drawn by my second brother and me after we went to the countryside to see the butcher slaughtering pigs. My brother and I drew this diagram to better explain the principles of CPR to everyone. Please be patient and listen to my detailed explanation. If you have any questions, please ask me later."
As she spoke, Li Sanniang took out a branch she had brought from the jujube tree at home and used it as a pointer to point to the heart in the painting: "This is the heart. As everyone here knows, one of the signs we use to determine whether a person is dead is that their heart has stopped beating. In addition, when we examine someone, we take their pulse. You can feel it by touching your own wrist, and if you touch your neck, there is a relatively strong pulse there, which is also a sign that you can determine whether the person is still alive."
Li San Niang then pointed to the lungs and said that breathing is also an important criterion for judgment.
"If I weren't afraid you all would find it offensive, I would have liked to bring out the pig's heart and lungs for you all to take a closer look today."
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of many people present, Li Sanniang felt pleased. She thought to herself, "Serves you right for looking down on me, a mere woman. Humph, I know far more about this than you do!"
But some remained unfazed, such as the surgeon Sun, who walked closer to examine the picture with great interest, showing no fear and not finding anything wrong with Li San Niang's actions.
"Imperial Physician Sun is very capable. He must have seen many wounded soldiers in the military camp and on the battlefield. The drawing by Third Sister and Second Brother is too simple. Please forgive us, Imperial Physician Sun."
"Haha, not bad, not bad. After the meeting, I would like to have a good chat with Dr. Li, Little Dr. Li, and Mrs. Li. Today's trip has been worthwhile!"
As he spoke, Medical Supervisor Sun walked back to his original seat. Since none of the highest-ranking officials in the room cared, who would dare to bare their teeth?
It's confirmed, this Dr. Sun must be the one who found the back door for Mr. Bu Ke!
In front of the back door, she had to be even more composed. Li Sanniang used the diagram to analyze her internal organs, and finally came to the brain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whether it's drowning or sudden loss of breath due to an acute illness, CPR can be used. But I must tell you all, we are racing against death, so time is of the essence!"
Li Sanniang pointed to the brain and heart in the picture with a jujube branch and said word by word, "If you miss the time, which is 240 times, this method will be basically useless to the heart and brain, and the person will naturally not be saved. Moreover, even if you use this method at the right time, there is still a high chance that you will not be able to save them!"
"What about the Lady of Liang, who was rescued, and the soldiers under Physician Sun who came to her aid?"
The question was asked by a man next to the old doctor, and everyone in the room listened intently, wanting to see what Li San Niang would say.
"Third Sister repeatedly emphasized to everyone that the methods she shared were not panaceas, and would not bring people back to life instantly! Sun Yijian and I were just lucky! We were fortunate enough to be saved!"
"If you can't guarantee it will work, then what's the point of saving it?"
Upon hearing this, Li San Niang turned to look at the man. He was an unfamiliar face, probably having arrived in the afternoon. He was young, likely not yet twenty, and arrogant. He must be from a family of physicians, and might even hold an official position in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"Third Sister disagrees with what this doctor says."
