Xie Yushu stayed snuggled in her warm, fluffy cloak, seeing patients until noon, when a series of ghostly wails drifted from afar.
"Master! It's an emergency! Help! Make way! Those who aren't going to die, step back! There's someone who's going to die! Master, help me!"
Xie Yushu's eyebrows twitched as she listened. Why did the Liu father and son always act so bizarrely? What were they even shouting?!
Although she wished she could strangle those three screaming people, Xie Yushu patiently made the patients in line wait and promised that she would see them no matter what and that they would not have made a wasted trip!
Most people are reasonable, and a few people are unwilling to let others cut in line, but with officials standing by, they dare not cause trouble!
Liu Zhuoxuan ignored Xie Yushu's response and continued shouting to himself.
"Grandmaster, this person is dying. We brought him to your manor, but the people there said you were here to provide free medical care. We were worried about wasting time going back and forth, so we brought him here directly!"
"Do you think surgery can still save him?"
Liu Shouye also added a sentence
"She's a pregnant woman who's been struggling at home for a whole day and night. The midwife couldn't handle it anymore, so she came to our clinic. We were at our wits' end, so we came to you with a glimmer of hope, but it looks like it's not going to work!"
The father and his two sons arrived in a donkey cart, on which lay a cotton quilt as thick as a water vat, and beside them followed a square-faced man who was sweating profusely from running.
The square-faced man was panting heavily when he saw Xie Yushu; he knelt down before even standing still.
"Please, doctor, you must save my wife! Even if it means losing the baby, please save my wife's life! I beg you, if you are willing to help, I, Chen Chuang, will do anything for you!"
"Get up first and check on the patient's condition!"
Xie Yushu walked straight to the donkey cart, lifted the quilt to check the situation, and saw that the woman's face was pale, even her lips were white, and she had fallen into a deep coma. She was not thin, but her belly was bigger, almost the size of an ordinary pregnant woman's belly. No wonder she had a difficult childbirth!
I couldn't feel a pulse in his hand, but I could feel a faint pulse in his carotid artery. The mattress under him was soaking wet, and he was still bleeding profusely!
"Oh no! Blood is dripping out! The mattress is soaked through, how can he possibly survive?!"
An old woman waiting for her appointment exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes! Look at that pale face, it's completely bloodless, this person is in serious trouble!"
"This mattress is so thick, at least two or three layers. How can a person survive when such a thick mattress is soaked in blood?"
"That's for sure! Look at that person, he's not even breathing, there's no breath coming out under his nose!"
Some busybodies couldn't help but gossip about it.
Upon hearing this, the man Chen Chuang became even more anxious and was about to kneel down to beg again, but Xie Yushu spoke first.
"Don't kneel! Your wife still has a sliver of hope. The chances of the mother surviving are 20%, but the child's chances are only 10%. However, surgery is necessary, which requires incisions on her body. And I need these three to assist me."
Moreover, the success rate of the surgery is at most 20%, which means there's still an 80% chance that you and your child will die. If you agree, we can start the surgery immediately; if not, please find someone else!
Upon hearing this, Chen Chuang was initially overjoyed, then paused for a moment, and immediately said...
"I agree. As long as my wife can be saved, I'll agree to any conditions! I've heard you're a miracle doctor. If the surgery doesn't save her, I'll accept my fate!"
“I’m not a miracle doctor. Since you’ve agreed, you’ll stand guard outside for your wife. No one can come in to disturb her without my permission, not even yourself!”
"Okay, I promise."
"Nanxing, light a few more braziers in the tent!"
Then, take the ginseng rootlets from the thousand-year-old ginseng in the medicine box, add three qian of astragalus and twenty-odd goji berries, and boil a pot of Rejuvenating Soup!
Be quick!
You guys carry the person in and put them on the table!
Zhao Hu brought over the table from the outside consultation room and connected it to the outside table!
"Bring me a basin of hot water right away!"
After making the arrangements, Xie Yushu carried her medicine kit into the tent.
Soon Nanxing brought in the hot water, and Chunyu and the others brought in the charcoal brazier. Xie Yushu told the Liu family father and son to wash their hands, and then quickly explained to them the parts that needed to be coordinated and the key points they needed to learn.
Seeing that they all nodded to indicate that they remembered, Xie Yushu began preparing for the surgery.
First, he gave the woman hemostatic and anesthetic pills. Since she was already unconscious, Dr. Liu forced the pills down her throat by pinching her chin.
However, the mother's condition was critical and she had lost too much blood. She needed a blood transfusion to have surgery, otherwise she would have bled out before the surgery was even finished!
While waiting for the hemostatic and anesthetic drugs to take effect, Xie Yushu urgently prepared for a blood transfusion.
Although she didn't have the equipment to test blood types, there was a simple method that was discovered by a foreign research institute in the last century: using agglutinins in human serum to distinguish between the two blood types. If the agglutinin coagulates into flocculent material when it meets the blood, the two blood types cannot mix. If no flocculent material is produced, the two blood types are the same.
Xie Yushu had already prepared a simple separation vessel. She quickly extracted a few drops of the mother's serum for later use, then went outside to explain the situation and find someone to donate blood.
Upon hearing that blood was required, Chen Chuang immediately patted his chest and said...
"Give me your blood! As long as it can save my wife and child, you can give me any amount of my blood you want!"
Xie Yushu was both amused and exasperated.
"It's not a simple matter of bleeding her out; we must find someone with the same blood type as your wife, otherwise it will only hasten her death!"
Let's try to find a match first. If yours isn't compatible, we'll have to find a donor or buy one ourselves.
"Okay, whatever you say!"
After Chen Chuang finished speaking, he took out a dagger and asked Xie Yushu.
Where should the blood be drawn?
"No need to draw blood, just prick your finger!"
As Xie Yushu spoke, she pricked Chen Chuang's outstretched hand with a needle and dripped a drop of blood onto the serum sensitivity test.
It didn't work!
Xie Yushu had no choice but to ask the people surrounding her.
"Among all the caregivers present, are there any healthy individuals willing to donate blood? It won't harm your health, and the patient's family will provide some compensation!"
I asked three times, but no one responded.
Everyone was whispering.
"That person has bled to death! If we use our blood to save her, we'll all die! That won't do!"
"Exactly. Although we sympathize with them, they're complete strangers to us. To trade our lives for hers, wouldn't that be foolish!"
Xie Yushu had no choice but to reiterate that it would not harm the blood donor's body, much less their life.
But still no one answered.
Chen Chuang was so anxious he kept spinning in circles
"If any of my fellow villagers are willing to lend a helping hand, I, Chen, will surely reward them handsomely! I beg you!"
Still, no one spoke.
Low channel
"Don't just talk about rewarding me handsomely, just give me a number. How much will I give to those who are willing to try? How much will I give to those who donate after the trial is successful?"
Chen Chuang pats his head
“I’m desperate. Is there any villager willing to donate blood to my wife? Come out and give it a try. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give you two hundred copper coins as compensation. If it works, I’ll give you ten taels of silver right now.”
