"Doctor Xu, these two patients are here to see a doctor, but it's lunch time now. Can you help take a look at them?" He Xiu said.
"Have all the other doctors left? Don't you have anyone on duty this afternoon?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Yes, there are, but as you know, there aren't usually any emergencies in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, so everyone usually goes to the cafeteria for lunch."
"He really deserves to be punished! Bring the patient in quickly!" After Xu Jianguo complained, he asked He Xiu to bring the patient in.
After the old woman was helped by his son to sit on a chair, Xu Jianguo asked, "When did this yellowing of the whole body begin?"
"It's been two or three days!" the man said.
"Why did you come to the hospital just now?"
"One of our neighbors works at Yongji Medical Clinic. He said my mom had jaundice and gave her a prescription, saying she would be fine in a few days, so we didn't come."
Xu Jianguo nodded, looked at the woman and said, "Auntie, please give me your hand so I can take your pulse!"
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you for your help, doctor!" the woman said weakly, and then put her hand on the pulse pillow on the table.
Xu Jianguo stretched out three fingers of his left hand and pressed them on her Cun, Guan and Chi points, then slowly closed his eyes.
After a moment, Xu Jianguo's eyes suddenly opened, he looked at the man and asked anxiously, "Did your mother suffer any trauma three days ago?"
"Ah? How did you know?"
"From external observation, your mother's complexion appears completely yellow, a typical symptom of jaundice. However, according to her pulse, her jaundice is merely superficial. The true cause of jaundice is likely an imbalance of yin and yang caused by the invasion of external pathogens. Simply put, it's a pathological jaundice caused by an immune system disorder caused by traumatic infection, which in turn triggers liver cell damage and reduces the ability to absorb, convert, and excrete bilirubin."
Xu Jianguo's words filled the man and his mother with fear. After a long while, the man asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor...doctor, what should we do? Is it serious? Please think of a way to save my mother!"
"Don't worry, help your mother lie down on the examination bed and show me her wound!"
"well!"
After the middle-aged woman lay down, the man rolled up her left trouser leg, then pulled up her autumn pants and took off her socks, revealing the gauze on her ankle.
However, when the gauze was removed, a dark red wound with swelling and pus appeared in front of Xu Jianguo's eyes.
Along with it came a faint stench.
Xu Jianguo didn't mind at all. He moved closer to take a closer look, then turned to He Xiu and said, "Bring me the alcohol cotton and the alcohol lamp!"
"Okay, Doctor Xu!" After He Xiu agreed, she opened the instrument cabinet beside her, took out the things Xu Jianguo needed, and placed them on the disposal cabinet beside the bed.
While searching his pockets, Xu Jianguo took out his Dragon Spirit Needle capsule from the space, then turned to the man and said, "I'm going to treat your mother's wound now. Please go out and wait for a moment."
"Doctor, I'm not afraid, please let me stay!"
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. Go out first. We will take good care of your mother!"
"Well... well, I'll leave it to you, doctor!"
After the man left, Xu Jianguo smiled and said to the middle-aged woman lying on the examination bed: "Auntie, I'm going to treat your wound now. It won't hurt, so don't be nervous, just relax!"
"Okay, I'm not nervous, thank you, doctor!" The middle-aged woman said weakly with a smile on her face.
"He Xiu, I'm going to drain Auntie's wound later. Please help me connect it with gauze!"
"Okay, Dr. Xu!"
Xu Jianguo first opened the needle bag and laid it flat, then took out three silver needles from the needle bag, wiped them carefully with alcohol cotton, and then quickly inserted them into the wound of the middle-aged woman.
Then he lifted and twisted the needle, then took out a cotton swab from the cotton swab holder, pressed it hard a few times near the woman's wound, and asked, "Auntie, do you feel the wound now?"
“No feeling!”
"good!"
He Xiu looked at Xu Jianguo's miraculous silver needle anesthesia technique, her eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.
"He Xiu, what are you doing? Concentrate!"
"Ah? I'm sorry, Dr. Xu!"
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, He Xiu immediately took action, picked up a stack of thick gauze and placed it under the wound.
After He Xiu was ready, Xu Jianguo took out a needle knife from the needle bag and cut the rotten flesh at the wound.
As the needle knife cut into the skin, a stream of yellow and red pus flowed out from the wound and landed on the gauze that He Xiu had prepared in advance.
At the same time, a fishy smell that was much stronger than before also spread.
Xu Jianguo had no reaction to the smell and continued to clean the wound carefully, but the young nurse He Xiu's brows were tightly furrowed and her face became a little ugly.
Seeing her like this, Xu Jianguo said, "Don't hold your breath. Observing the color and smell of the patient's wound can help you judge the condition and make the most reasonable diagnosis, treatment or care plan."
"Oh, I understand!" He Xiu said in a low voice.
Xu Jianguo handled the situation quickly. In less than five minutes, he had cleaned up the rotten flesh around the wound, and he also disinfected the middle-aged woman's wound again.
After a careful inspection, the wound wasn't very deep, but it was about six or seven centimeters long. Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and asked He Xiu, "Can you sew it up?"
"Ah? Yes, but I can't sew well!" He Xiu's face turned a little red and she said in a low voice.
"Go get the suture kit, Auntie's wound needs stitches!"
"good!"
He Xiu agreed and went out to get the suture kit. Xu Jianguo threw away the gauze soaked with pus and blood, and then wiped the skin near the wound with alcohol cotton.
Soon, He Xiu came in from outside with a cloth bag and closed the door. The man waiting in the corridor wanted to follow her in, but was blocked by her.
After opening the cloth bag, a sterilized aluminum lunch box was found inside. After opening the lunch box, the needles, thread, needle holders and other instruments needed to suture the wound were found inside.
Xu Jianguo washed his hands carefully and disinfected them with alcohol. Then he put on sterile gloves, took out suture instruments and began to suture the patient's wound.
