Just as Chen Qingqing had prepared her surgical supplies, she heard Li An standing outside the door asking her a question.
She knew that Ang Lee was extremely passionate about medicine and that he had the heart of a healer.
Teaching him the art of suturing might not be a bad thing.
But can Ang Lee really accept her treatment methods?
What if they think she's a monster?
Li An, standing outside the door, was a little disappointed when Chen Qingqing didn't reply. Just as he turned to give up, Chen Qingqing's voice rang out.
"Doctor Li, please come in."
"Miss Chen, are you really willing to let me see?" Li An asked again to confirm.
“There’s nothing I can’t see. If you can learn this treatment method, it will be a good thing for the people. Why should I keep it a secret?”
Chen Qingqing finally convinced herself that doctors are meant to heal the sick and save lives. The more people who learn this kind of surgery, the more hope there is for the injured to survive. If she only cares about her reputation, she is not a qualified doctor.
"Miss Chen is truly kind and righteous. I will definitely observe and learn from her carefully."
"Okay, put on this coat first, and put on your mask and gloves like this. We're going to prepare to operate on the patient." Chen Qingqing's expression was focused and serious.
Ang Lee had never seen such strange clothes before. He turned them over and over and examined them for a long time, but still didn't know how to wear them.
Looking up at Chen Qingqing, I noticed that she was wearing a green coat and her hair was covered by a strange green hat.
Seeing the curiosity and confusion in his eyes, Chen Qingqing began to explain.
"This is a specially made sterile gown that prevents the spread of pathogens. It can effectively isolate dirt from our skin and clothing from entering the patient's body, helping to reduce the risk of postoperative infection for the patient, and also protecting us from infection by the patient's blood or germs."
Li An nodded as if he understood, "Okay, Miss Chen, I'll put it on right away."
Chen Qingqing took out scissors and cut off all of the patient's clothes before starting to disinfect the patient.
Seeing the patient completely naked, Li An felt a little embarrassed. But when he looked up, he saw Chen Qingqing with a serious expression, showing no disrespect for the patient. Her eyes were focused and calm.
He had never seen anyone treat patients like this before, and he watched Chen Qingqing's every move intently.
Prepare the surgical instruments and begin cleaning the patient's wound with saline solution.
Chen Qingqing had examined the patient carefully; a wild boar had pierced the patient's abdomen with a gash about ten centimeters long, from which the intestines were protruding.
Fortunately, the major arteries were not affected; otherwise, even with her exceptional medical skills, there would have been no way to save the patient.
After cleaning the wound, she began to clean the intestines.
There were also wounds on the intestines, and the undigested feces emitted a strong odor.
Chen Qingqing had no time to worry about that; she carefully cleaned and disinfected the wound before painstakingly sewing it up with catgut sutures.
After suturing, the area around the wound and the abdominal cavity were cleaned.
The intestines were then placed back into the patient's abdominal cavity, and the final sutures were performed before bandaging was applied.
"The wound is cleaned with saline solution. If you don't have that, you can use high-proof liquor instead, but remember to clean it several times."
Make sure to clean away any necrotic tissue around the wound, otherwise it will easily rot and ooze pus later.
The suture used to stitch the wound is absorbable suture, made from sheep and lamb intestines.
When preparing it, the fat should be scraped off, and only the innermost mucous membrane should be taken.
Soak and wash with alkali, then air dry and fumigate with sulfur to prevent insects and decay. Then separate by size.
Twist the wire into different numbers of strands according to your intended use and use immediately....."
While treating the wound, Chen Qingqing patiently explained each step, her hands moving without slowing down.
Ang Lee was completely shocked. In his mind, disembowelment meant certain death.
But unexpectedly, it could be sewn up like clothing with a needle.
He had never even seen those shiny, strange-looking knives before...
"Dr. Li, have you understood? If you are confident, you can treat the patient's leg wound according to my method."
"If you handle it well, I can give you a set of surgical instruments." Chen Qingqing didn't miss the fervor in Li An's eyes and said generously.
"Alright, I'm willing to give it a try. If there's anything I do wrong, I hope Miss Chen will correct me in time."
Li An closed his eyes and concentrated, recalling everything Chen Qingqing had just done. When he opened his eyes again, they were calm and serene.
He began cleaning the wound on the patient's leg, which, although not as large as the wound on his abdomen, was still deep enough to expose the bone.
It must be said that Ang Lee's medical talent is extremely high. After watching Chen Qingqing perform the procedure only once, he was able to do it quite well.
Although stitching the wound was a bit awkward and the stitches weren't very neat, it was already very good for the first time.
He finished sewing the last stitch, and a fine layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.
Looking at the crooked, centipede-like wound, he couldn't help but frown.
"Miss Chen, do you think my stitching is okay? It looks so ugly."
Chen Qingqing nodded in satisfaction, "You did a great job. With more practice, you'll become more and more skilled."
"How do you practice like this? Do you just sew a piece of cloth to practice?"
Chen Qingqing chuckled, "You think this is making clothes? You're practicing on a piece of cloth? If you want to master sewing, you can practice on a rabbit first. Rabbits are of moderate size, and their physiological characteristics are similar to humans. You can make an incision of more than an inch in the middle of the rabbit's abdomen to expose the stomach and intestines, and then perform the sewing. After sewing, pay close attention to the postoperative healing."
“I understand.” Li An nodded.
Chen Qingqing took off her surgical gown and removed the intravenous catheter from the patient's arm. She had originally planned to give the patient a few days of antibiotics, but with Li An in front of her, she decided against it and decided not to expose too much of the modern technology.
“I’ve told you everything I need to say and teach you. He still has a few small wounds on his body. Please treat and stitch them up. Then have Xiao Wu brew some Chai Gui Tang for him to drink to prevent fever.”
"Okay, I've got it."
Ang Lee found it hard to believe; this knowledge was completely new and unheard of, utterly overturning his view of medicine.
Furthermore, he had already examined the patient who had undergone surgery, and the bleeding from the wound had completely stopped.
The pulse has also stabilized, and as long as there is no fever, the person will not die.
Outside the gate of Jishetang.
The physician, Miao, remained outside, refusing to believe that Chen Qingqing could cure the man's illness.
After all, he had already checked; the man's intestines were protruding, and even feces were showing.
Such a severe injury is beyond the help of anyone.
He was not alone in thinking this way; many people gathered around to watch the spectacle unfold.
One of them, having stood for too long, lost his patience and started shouting.
"What's going on? Why hasn't he come out yet after so long? Did he kill the person he was treating and now he's too scared to show his face?"
"Maybe. What goddess doctor? In my opinion, she's a big fraud. I've never heard of someone surfacing with their intestines sticking out and still being alive!"
Doctor Miao chimed in, “The people at Jishetang are just ignorant and arrogant. I have been practicing medicine for many years and have seen all kinds of external injuries. I can tell at a glance whether someone can live or die.”
