Chapter 348 Training the Little Nurse
Over the next few days, Gervis took time out every afternoon to personally teach the girls how to rescue the wounded and treat trauma.
These include subjects such as how to stop bleeding, clean and suture wounds, change dressings afterwards to keep them clean and prevent infection, etc.
Although Gervis was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he had seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork, so he knew some of these little knowledge. After all, as long as he knew the general structure of the human body, he would know how to deal with these sword and knife wounds.
All the knowledge that Gervis taught was not available in this world. Fortunately, the young nurses had never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before, so they just listened to whatever Gervis said.
At first, the teaching of the girls was going smoothly, but the smooth teaching stopped after two days.
A problem arose when Gervis was about to show the real thing to the young nurses, or to try it out himself.
"See? This wound is very deep, and the blood is flowing non-stop. If you try to cover it with your hands, you can't. Now, tell me, based on what I taught you two days ago, how should we start to help it?"
Gervis lowered his head and stabbed the poor wild boar in front of him into the thigh with a knife. The wild boar's blood immediately gushed out from the wound, but the wild boar had already been tied up with a thick hemp rope, and any struggle was in vain.
It's not that Gervis is cruel, it's just that now he is talking about how to stop the bleeding, so he has to keep the wild second brother alive, so that he can make a realistic demonstration. Later, when practicing suturing wounds, Gervis will give the wild second brother a quick death first.
This second brother has made outstanding contributions to the benefit of mankind in this world. I believe that after his death, he will return to the arms of Boss Rongguang and become a glorious boar knight.
But after Gervis asked the question, he found that no one in front of him answered his question. Gervis looked up and saw that all the girls had already stepped back several steps after seeing the wild boar's struggle, and some of them were afraid to look at the bloody thigh of the wild boar.
Suddenly, a black line appeared on Gervis's forehead.
"Everyone, come forward. If you keep standing back, you won't have dinner tonight!"
These girls have now changed into brand new clothes provided by the castle, and at Gervis' request, they have been groomed and had their hair cut short. Although they are not pretty, hundreds of neat and clean girls standing together can be considered a group of beautiful girls.
But Gervis had no mercy now. He took out such precious time to teach them personally, and the southern expedition would be in a few days, so Gervis had to be strict with these girls so that they could learn the most basic rescue knowledge before setting off.
When the girls heard what Gervis said, they couldn't help but think of the white bread and broth provided by the castle in the past two days. In addition, the lord's face had turned dark, and they finally endured the discomfort and returned to their original positions.
"Someone tell me, how can I save this wild boar now?"
Seeing these young nurses come forward again, Gervis' tone became better and he continued to ask.
"Sir, you should tie up his thighs with a tourniquet, clean his wounds with warm water and a cloth, and then suture them to stop the bleeding. After the wounds are sutured, apply medicine powder on them, and then you can bandage them!"
The group of girls were timid, but there was a few who were brave and smart. This girl raised her hand and answered Gervis' questions carefully.
"Very good! You answered very well. What is your name?"
Gervis nodded in satisfaction. The girl who answered the question was pretty. Although she was still a little behind Anna and Vivian, that was because of her long-term poverty and hard work. If she raised her, she could still get a pretty little nurse... cough! cough! Off topic...
"Sir, my name is Lilia!"
"Very good, Lilia, you performed very well. You can get a piece of meat tonight! Keep up your performance. In a few days, I will select two of you to serve as the captains of your medical team!"
Gervis praised Lilia for a few words, then picked up the tools beside him and prepared to demonstrate it to the girls for the first time.
"Watch carefully, the rope here must be tied tightly, otherwise it won't stop the bleeding..."
"When wiping a wound, you must use boiled warm water. The same applies to this cloth. It must be boiled before use..."
"The stitches should be sewn more tightly, so that the bleeding can be stopped better..."
Gervis slowly performed the process, and the girls who were watching felt their scalps tingling. Although they were poor serfs and could do dirty and tiring work, many people did not have the courage to sew on the skin and flesh like this. Just watching it made people tremble.
After completing a process, Gervis looked up again and saw the girls' expressions. He finally understood that if he wanted these girls to become real battlefield nurses, he had to let them overcome their fear of blood and flesh.
After all, he is currently using animals to demonstrate to the young nurses, but when the time comes on the battlefield, there will be white human flesh and blood, the wounds will be even more horrific and responsible, and the injured soldiers will wail loudly. If their mental quality is not up to standard, these young nurses may collapse first.
So, in the next few days, Gervis had Jimmy kill, skin, and gut all the small animals he caught, but he did not process the internal organs of the animals, so the whole animal became bloody.
During the day, the girls practiced on these small animals how to treat and suture wounds, and when they ate, they were also allowed to watch the treated "small animals" eat.
In addition to daytime, Gervis did not let them go even at night, and still hung these "little animals" in the wooden house where they lived.
In short, Gervis wanted to make these girls get used to this bloody scene as quickly as possible.
Gervis has limited time and of course cannot teach these girls all day long, so Gervis only spends an hour and a half every day teaching them. The rest of the time is Brian's job as a fake doctor.
Since you're a nurse on the battlefield, you can't just treat wounds!
So Brian, a doctor who is not a doctor, was hired by Gervis to teach these girls how to treat some simple illnesses with simple herbs.
Gervis didn't expect these girls to become experienced doctors, but it would be enough for them to know what herbs to use to treat some minor illnesses occasionally. It didn't matter whether the treatment was successful or not, but at least they had an idea and could get it right occasionally.
Well, since I am a titled knight, I probably won’t get any common injuries in my lifetime.
I had something to do at noon, so this chapter is posted now!
