Given the old lady's condition, if I had arrived an hour later, even if I had brought over 21st-century equipment, I definitely wouldn't have been able to save her.
We originally thought that a dose of super antibiotics would be enough to cure the old lady's serious illness, but now it seems that at the very least, a dose of enhanced adrenaline will be needed.
"how……"
When Magistrate Wang saw Sun Jian's complicated expression, his heart skipped a beat, and his voice trembled slightly.
How could he not know his wife's current situation?
Besides Sun Jian, two other doctors examined her this morning and immediately told Magistrate Wang that the old lady would not live past noon. Even if a celestial being descended to earth, it would be useless. They advised him to prepare for her funeral in advance, as there was absolutely no hope of her survival.
Magistrate Wang knew the man was near death, but he still hoped for a miracle, no matter how extremely slim the chances were.
Sun Jian first sighed, deliberately putting on an inscrutable appearance.
This wasn't done to show off, but to ensure the successful injection of the medicine into the old lady.
You can't just tell Magistrate Wang to take off his wife's pants so he can get an injection, can you?
You have to understand that in this day and age, let alone the idea of men and women not touching each other, even when treating the sick and saving lives, you still have to use a gauze curtain and a silk cloth as a mat.
Sun Jian first stretched out his right hand and pinched randomly between his middle and index fingers with his thumb while muttering incantations.
Sun Jian's action left Wang Youren and Magistrate Wang, who were standing nearby, completely bewildered.
Why does this person look more like a charlatan than a doctor?
Could he be telling fortunes?
The two looked at each other, both at a loss, and could only hold their breath and deliberately slow their breathing, for fear of disturbing Sun Jian.
After a long while, Sun Jian sighed and said, "There is still a glimmer of hope. Perhaps we can give it a try."
"really?"
Upon hearing that there was still hope, Magistrate Wang's pupils constricted sharply, and his body trembled.
If the young man in front of him could really save his wife, who was almost "dead," he would be willing to give up everything he had. He would not hesitate to do anything he could, even if it meant giving his own life.
"only……"
In order to keep Magistrate Wang under control, Sun Jian deliberately kept him in suspense.
"But what? No matter what it takes, no matter the cost, I will do everything in my power!"
Sun Jian sighed again, "This matter is very complicated. In short, the only way to cure the lady is to exchange ten years of my lifespan."
Sun Jian originally wanted to say that the lady's soul had been taken away and she was already dead. If he wanted to bring her back to life, he would have to go to the underworld himself to ask for her. However, he felt that the words were too exaggerated. Although people in this era were superstitious, he couldn't be too outrageous. Therefore, he changed his words.
The purpose was to make Magistrate Wang feel guilty.
As Sun Jian had predicted, upon hearing this, Magistrate Wang was both pleased and worried. After a moment of silence, he clasped his hands together and bowed in respect.
"Miracle doctor! I beg you to find a way to save Madam. I will do anything you ask for in compensation, even if it costs me my life!"
Seeing how earnest and anxious Magistrate Wang was, Sun Jian felt that the desired effect would be achieved, and quickly stepped forward to help him.
"You flatter me, sir. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You are an honest and upright official. Even if it costs me twenty years of my life, let alone ten years of my life, I would not hesitate to do it."
Sun Jian feigned righteousness and indignation, but he almost believed his own lies.
"This illness seems rather unusual. I will be administering acupuncture in a moment. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me, Lord Wang."
"If it can save the lady, please give it a try, sir."
Seeing that the goal and effect had been achieved, Sun Jian no longer hesitated. After standing beside the old lady, he took out a lot of injection syringes from his bosom.
These syringes were just on the way; Sun Jian used a regular lottery privilege to select the medical injection direction given by the system.
"This is……"
When Magistrate Wang and Wang Youren saw that the needles Sun Jian took out were not ordinary silver needles, but rather syringes with transparent markings and even containing a lot of transparent unknown liquid, they were dumbfounded once again.
They naturally didn't know what a syringe was, but since it was the first time they had ever seen one, they were quite shocked.
"This is an ancestral soul-reviving needle. Don't disturb me. I need some peace and quiet."
Sun Jian then held the needle and instructed Magistrate Wang to lift up his wife's clothes as he had instructed. To avoid direct skin contact, Sun Jian also specifically asked Magistrate Wang to cover his wife's skin with a thin gauze.
The liquid in each syringe contains trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. The system had reminded Sun Jian that these injections could be administered intramuscularly or intravenously, and that they were entirely beneficial and harmless, so Sun Jian didn't care about the details.
He chose to inject mostly into the limbs, and he didn't know anything about acupoints. He adhered to the principle that as long as he didn't kill Madam Wang, everything would be fine, and began to inject continuously.
These needles are simply a prelude to the administration of adrenaline and antibiotics.
After everything was ready, Sun Jian quietly took out enhanced adrenaline and enhanced antibiotics from his backpack and injected them all into Madam Wang's outer thigh.
"alright."
Sun Jian pulled out all the needles, casually put them into his backpack, and sat down on a chair nearby.
"That's it?"
Magistrate Wang was still in shock. Perhaps it was the first time he had ever seen such a scene of healing. He still couldn't believe that a person who had been on the verge of death could be cured so quickly with just a few acupuncture needles.
Wang Youren's forehead was covered in sweat from beginning to end, and he was filled with anxiety, deeply regretting bringing Sun Jian to treat Madam Wang's illness.
Sun Jian was quite confident in the potion provided by the system. He calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "The lady will wake up in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"ah?"
Magistrate Wang was once again stunned by Sun Jian's words.
It wasn't that he refused to believe it; it was simply too unbelievable.
Is this kid just messing with me?
Sun Jian shook his head and smiled wryly, "What? You don't believe me? Lord Wang, do you have a physician in your household?"
"Yes! All three doctors are waiting in the back room."
"After that incense stick has burned, just call them over to take the lady's pulse," Sun Jian shrugged indifferently.
Magistrate Wang remained silent for a long time before instructing his servants to summon three doctors to his bedside to await orders.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is over in the blink of an eye, and the three doctors take turns taking the lady's pulse.
After taking their pulses, the three people's expressions were remarkably similar, like a rollercoaster ride.
The contrast between his initial disdain for Sun Jian's arrogance and his repeated confirmation after taking his pulse, his dilated pupils, and the cold sweat pouring down his face, is striking.
These three doctors were all familiar with Madam Wang's condition. How could they not know that the old lady was already on her deathbed?
