Chapter 513 Dicornerous Uterus
Although Li San Niang told her mother that she would be fine after a good night's sleep, she actually didn't fall asleep at all while lying in bed that night.
Regardless of whether Qianniang's mother-in-law truly disliked her daughter-in-law Qianniang and deliberately delayed Gen'er from finding a doctor after Qianniang's postpartum hemorrhage.
Qianniang's postpartum hemorrhage was truly an unfortunate event beyond human control.
"I was quite lucky before I transmigrated. I delivered babies for hundreds of women. Apart from seven or eight women who had particularly dangerous births, the others all went relatively smoothly."
I have never encountered a single case of death of the mother or even the fetus during childbirth.
"We're really lucky."
Li San Niang lay on the bed with her eyes open, looking at the roof beams, silently counting in her mind the number of pregnant women and infants she had failed to save under various circumstances since she became a female doctor in Chang'an.
My heart ached even more. Childbirth is said to be the gates of hell for women, and that is absolutely true.
Conditions like postpartum hemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism, and uterine rupture are so rare that even in modern times, the chances of survival are slim.
Although the incidence of various emergencies is not said to be very high, when it comes to diseases, if you don't get them, you are 0%, but once you get them, you are 100%.
As for the incidence rate mentioned in medical statistics, that only applies to the entire population; when it comes to an individual, there is only a difference between 0% and 100%.
"This human female body is truly..."
Li San Niang couldn't find any good words to say; it seemed that only swear words could express what she was thinking.
"Damn it!"
Li San Niang hugged the sleeping Lu Zhu'er beside her, thinking that if Lu Zhu'er wanted to get married in the future, she would definitely have to make her use contraception for a few years first, and only talk about childbirth after her body had fully developed.
Even if you are pregnant, it is best to bring her to live with you and take care of her. Regular prenatal checkups are necessary to nip any potential problems in the bud.
With these thoughts in mind, Li San Niang finally fell asleep.
The next day, as soon as Li San Niang got up, she noticed how dry the air was.
Once I stepped out of the room, I felt the intense heat even more.
Before leaving, Sister-in-law Li handed over two oil-paper umbrellas. Li San Niang looked at the sky and then at Sister-in-law Li, her face full of confusion.
"It's not for you to use to block the rain, it's for you to use to shield yourself from the sun."
Li San Niang wanted to say that she spent all her time in the medical clinic and didn't really need to use it.
However, since it was Sister-in-law Li's kind offer, Li San Niang naturally accepted it with a smile.
Arriving at the clinic marked the start of a new day.
After seeing off the woman who came for a follow-up visit, Li San Niang heard Qiu Xiang call out, "Next."
In less than two breaths, a stranger who was somewhat of an acquaintance sat down in front of Li San Niang.
Li San Niang was stunned for a moment, but still reached out to the woman in front of her to ask for a number plate.
After taking the number plate, Li Sanniang asked as usual, "What's wrong, madam?"
Song Zhenzhu was surprised that Li Sanniang would pretend not to recognize her and even ask her where she felt unwell, as if she had really come for a medical consultation.
Yes, the woman sitting in front of Li San Niang is Song Zhenzhu, the young lady from the Song family. She had taken a liking to Xu Jingzhen but was rejected by him. She then impulsively approached Li San Niang at Qian Xiaolang's birthday banquet, only to be rebuffed by Li San Niang.
The maid behind Song Zhenzhu was so frightened by the scene that she dared not speak. She simply lowered her head and stood motionless behind Song Zhenzhu.
The maid had already advised Song Zhenzhu when she was at the Song family, "Madam, the place where Doctor Li holds his consultations is a medical clinic."
The clinic is mostly frequented by patients with illnesses. Not to mention that the lady is of noble status, what if she were to offend someone in such a place?
Besides, the lady herself was not ill; she only went to the clinic to see Doctor Li.
But what outsiders don't know is that if people saw the young woman going to the clinic on her own, who knows what they would say?
"My lady, this is the time for you to discuss marriage; it would be best if you didn't go, lest you cause unnecessary trouble."
But Song Zhenzhu, who had been pampered since childhood, would never listen to a maid's advice. Not only did she ignore it, she also warned the maid: "You are my maid, and your indenture is in my hands."
Didn't your nanny say that you've reached a certain age and she'll be betrothing you to someone?
"If you don't listen to me, go and complain to your mother or the old lady, and I won't allow you to marry. You'll be stuck in the mansion and miss out on marriage."
So, how could the girl dare to say anything more?
Therefore, Li San Niang met Song Zhenzhu, who was as proud and imposing as a rooster.
"I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, and I also feel a bit tightness in my chest. I'd appreciate it if Dr. Li could take a look."
As she said this, Song Zhenzhu raised her arm and placed her wrist on the pulse pillow, looking at Li Sanniang with a leisurely air, like a cat that had just stolen a fish.
Li San Niang didn't actually dislike this kind of noblewoman; she was just a young girl who had fallen in love.
Li San Niang pursed her lips, forcefully suppressing the urge to laugh, and simply nodded. She then took the pulse with three fingers and began to examine it carefully.
After taking her pulse, Li San Niang followed the procedure and carefully inquired about her diet, sleep, menstruation, and urination.
Song Zhenzhu was neither embarrassed nor impatient. She had been examined by a doctor hired by her mother at home before and knew that the doctor needed to ask this question in order to make a diagnosis.
Of course, having already conducted a consultation and pulse diagnosis, Li San Niang naturally also inquired about palpation.
When Song Zhenzhu heard that she would have to undergo palpation, she was displeased. She knew she was not sick; she just wanted an excuse to meet Li Sanniang.
However, when Song Zhenzhu saw Li Sanniang's ambiguous smile and somewhat provocative look, she was provoked into agreeing to Li Sanniang's suggestion to perform palpation.
After Song Zhenzhu went into the inner room and lay down, Li Sanniang asked, "Madam Song, I'm going to lift your clothes and examine you."
Song Zhenzhu seemed to have come to her senses. How could this have happened?
Song Zhenzhu looked like she had fallen for your trick and was wondering whether to refuse when Li Sanniang said considerately, "If you are not feeling well, then let's skip the palpation."
Li San Niang's words put Song Zhenzhu at ease, and she simply said, "Since I'm already lying down, then let's have a consultation with Doctor Li."
Li San Niang naturally activated her X-ray vision, but unexpectedly, this cheat actually allowed her to encounter a rare type of uterine malformation.
Li San Niang used her X-ray vision to look at the bicornuate uterus, which resembled a ram's horn, and confirmed it twice. It really was a bicornuate uterus.
Song Zhenzhu was still a little puzzled. What was so interesting about this belly that Li Sanniang was staring at it for so long? Just as she was about to ask, Li Sanniang helped her pull down her clothes.
After the group sat down face to face again, Li San Niang thought for a moment, but neither wrote a prescription nor directly told Song Zhenzhu that she had a bicornuate uterus.
“Madam Song, you have come to my door today, surely you have something to say to me.”
What do you think of this?
I have about an hour free during lunch today. How about I treat Madam Song to a meal at one of the famous restaurants on this street?
"Who said I came to see you?"
I came to see a doctor because I wasn't feeling well!
"Tell me, how is my illness?"
Li San Niang looked at her as if she were a child throwing a tantrum, and simply smiled and nodded before saying, "Then I'll trouble Madam Song to go to the restaurant and ask for a private room for me."
I should be able to leave in about half an hour.
Whether Song Zhenzhu truly had something to say to Li Sanniang or was intimidated by Li Sanniang's imposing manner, although Li Sanniang spoke to her with a smile, her demeanor was one that brooked no argument.
In short, Song Zhenzhu agreed, left the clinic with her maid, went to the restaurant, ordered a private room, and sat down to wait.
