Chapter 117 A New Little Brother
Soon, all the doctors and even the patients in the entire orphanage discovered a strange situation: Medical Officer Ye, who had small eyes but high eyes, had changed from his usual arrogance and irritability, and suddenly became a different person. He followed the newly arrived Medical Officer Ning all day long, calling him "Teacher" all the time.
Shen Ning could also see that Ye Heng was truly devoted to medicine and wanted to cure illnesses and save lives, so she sincerely taught him.
Ye Heng learned from the director of the Imperial Hospital, who was also an old senior with superb medical skills. Shen Ning did not get ahead of herself, nor did she think that she was better than others in everything.
The reason why she has an advantage is that the era she lives in has integrated the experience accumulated by people in previous generations, so she knows more than the people here.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, how can we look down on them?
Moreover, Ye Heng also has a solid foundation and good medical skills, so she mainly teaches some things that are not currently available, such as the concept of surgical operations, trauma suture, and things like allicin that are not currently available.
Ye Heng also studied very seriously. When he heard Shen Ning say that if a woman had a difficult delivery, she could actually be saved by cutting open her belly and delivering the fetus, which would save both the mother and the baby, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.
In his philosophy, practicing medicine is about treating patients. Has anyone ever thought of saving lives by performing a laparotomy?
"The conditions are not good enough now. If there is a chance in the future, I will find some corpses and show you."
Ye Heng looked at the teacher in front of him who was younger than him with horror as he said calmly that he would take a corpse and teach him how to open it. He was terrified, but also eager to try it.
The other doctors also wanted to learn from her, but Shen Ning told them directly that Du Zhong and his group, who had just started learning from her, had already been registered with the army and signed a confidentiality agreement. They were not allowed to disclose the knowledge to others at will, and were not allowed to accept disciples or teach outside without the army's permission, among other regulations.
The doctors patted their chests and expressed their willingness, and were ready to sign and seal their names to tie themselves to the army.
Chen Ning didn't want to keep the things that could cure diseases and save lives privately. The reason she took some measures was that she was worried that these things might be leaked out of Daxuan and fall into the hands of Japanese pirates.
Du Zhong and others have been investigated, and their family backgrounds are clean and their work styles are fine. After signing the agreement, they will be under military control.
And if these people are willing to accept the same control, then she is willing to teach them.
She knew that with Xiao Nanchen here, she didn't have to worry too much about the confidentiality of what she taught.
A few days passed in a flash. The army was now idle, so they moved a group of people over to renovate the doctors' residence. Shen Ning took on all the expenses without blinking an eye.
Those are nothing to her now.
And the most important thing is that most of the seriously injured soldiers whose injuries had worsened in the past few days have begun to get better. The fatal high fever has subsided, and the festering wounds are visibly getting better day by day.
The number of bodies carried out of the hospital was even fewer than at the beginning. The wounded who had originally been determined to die saw the hope of survival, and they became more obedient and actively cooperated with the treatment.
The originally gloomy and mournful atmosphere at the infirmary has changed drastically.
After all, no one wants to die if they can live.
The situation improved day by day, and Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She finally dared to explain to Ye Heng: At least 80% of the injured this time can be saved.
In fact, this statement is still conservative. According to the current situation, it is possible that 90% of people can survive.
Ye Heng and the other doctors were happy and excited, with tears in their eyes.
After all, in the past, if 40% of the people could survive, it was already good. If 50% of the people survived, it would be something to show off everywhere.
But now they have the hope of saving the lives of 90% of them, which can be called a miracle.
Soon after, Xie Yuncheng also received the news and rushed into the wounded soldiers' quarters with his men. The first thing he did after entering the yard was to call Ye Heng.
"Tell the commander-in-chief that you can save 80% of the people?"
Xie Yuncheng gritted his teeth: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will chop you down immediately!"
Ye Heng sneered: "Isn't that nonsense? You'll know if you go and see it. Why are you showing off here?"
Xie Yuncheng glanced at him, then strode towards the wounded's residence with his men.
After entering the quarters for the wounded, he saw that the seriously injured patients who had been on the verge of death a few days ago had actually improved a lot.
The yellow-brown liquid that had been oozing out of the wounds on his body had also decreased a lot. When he saw him, he would smile and greet him: "Thank you, General."
Xie Yuncheng paused slightly, then walked over: "What do you think?"
These people are the most brave and useful soldiers under his command, which is why Xie Yuncheng is so worried about them.
Seeing him, the wounded soldiers also laughed: "General, I'm much better now. The pain is not so severe anymore and I can eat now. I drank two bowls of rice porridge today. I will recuperate for a few more days. When I'm better, I will continue to serve in the army. Hehe..."
"As long as you're feeling better, you guys should rest well and don't worry about anything else."
After walking and looking all the way, Xie Yuncheng finally believed what Ye Heng said: 80% of these people can survive.
He let out a long sigh.
These were the bravest soldiers in the war. They had been the most valiantly wounded because they had charged the hardest. How could he bear to watch them die in agony?
Now, having confirmed that most of them could survive, Xie Yuncheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, thinking of what those soldiers had just said, he felt helpless.
These wounded soldiers still want to return to the army to serve, but that is basically impossible.
Their burns were severe and would definitely affect their future actions, so the army would not want them to serve again.
When their injuries recover, the only outcome is to return home.
Even if the imperial court offered compensation, for them, the disability caused by such an injury would accompany them for the rest of their lives, and the compensation would be a drop in the bucket...
If Xie Yuncheng met a disabled beggar on the street, he would probably not even look at him twice. But when he thought that the brave men who had fought under him would end up in such a situation in the future, he felt a pang of distress in his heart.
In recent years, he has helped many disabled veterans out of his own pocket. However, this is not something that can be solved by giving money once or twice.
Even if he was born into the Xie family, he wouldn't be able to take care of so many people for the rest of their lives...
But no matter what, it's good to be alive.
After Xie Yuncheng came out, he walked towards Shen Ning and Ye Heng. Ye Heng whispered to Shen Ning, "Teacher, I'll make him apologize to you later."
Looking at the arrogance in his small eyes, Shen Ning found it a little funny.
At this time, Xie Yuncheng came over and bowed crisply: "Thank you two medical officers and all the doctors. On behalf of all the soldiers, I thank you for saving my life."
The doctors who had been nearly dragged out and chopped off by Xie Yuncheng fell silent. Ye Heng sneered, "Is that the end?"
He deliberately picked his ears: "What did you say that day?"
Xie Yuncheng took a deep breath, then walked in front of Shen Ning and bowed: "I was rude that day, I hope that Doctor Ning will forgive me. From now on, Doctor Ning is my elder brother. Brother, Xie Yuncheng is polite."
Shen Ning had previously found this man annoying for not only cursing but also wanting to chop people without giving any explanation. Now, seeing that he was doing what he said, she reached out and gave him a slight support: "Envoy Xie, you are too serious. Treating illnesses and saving lives is a doctor's duty. Let's write off the previous matter."
Xie Yuncheng said nothing, bowed, and left with a group of soldiers behind him.
Ye Heng said with a grin, "Teacher, just wait and see. Xie Yuncheng is a man of his word. He never goes back on his word. From now on, you will be his big brother."
Shen Ning: ...
