Chapter 18 Suture Surgery



Zhao Xiaofei's face was full of black lines. He said, "I'm not here to eat. I want the doctor to show us what your daughter's injuries are like! I need to find a reference."

"Oh! Oh! I understand! Come quickly and buy a pig!" Mr. Liu immediately asked someone to buy a pig.

About half an hour later, the servant returned with half a pig on his back. Zhao Xiaofei took out a scalpel from his bag and said to the doctor, "Please cut the pork to resemble the young lady's injuries!"

The doctor took the knife and cut Miss Liu's wound without hesitation. Zhao Xiaofei squatted down to take a look, put on his gloves, and said, "Just watch me do it, and then you can do it later."

The doctor nodded, and Hu Xian followed behind, watching with wide eyes. Zhao Xiaofei pulled out a glass bottle and opened the cap, revealing the pungent smell of alcohol. He used a cotton swab to swab the liquid and then applied it to the wound on the pig's leg. Zhao Xiaofei then took out medical sutures and began to suture, first around the muscle and then around the surface. He used surgical forceps to hold the needle throughout the procedure, never touching it with his hands.

Hu Xian and Liu Yuanwai felt pain in their flesh when they saw this. Hu Xian was fine, but Liu Yuanwai simply stopped watching. After about ten minutes, Zhao Xiaofei took off his mask and said, "Alright! I'll treat the young lady's injuries using my method. Ask a few more maids and mothers-in-law to hold her down and don't let her move."

The doctor nodded and went into the young lady's bedroom with the instruments. After a while, she heard Miss Liu's screams. About half an hour later, the doctor came out of the boudoir.

The old doctor took off her mask, bowed to Zhao Xiaofei, and said, "Young lady's wound has been sutured and the bleeding has stopped. I thank you for teaching me this unique medical skill."

"It's okay, it's okay! This bottle of medicine is for oral use in case the young lady has a fever after the operation. Take it three times a day, after breakfast, lunch and dinner. This bottle is for external application. Use my cotton swab to apply it. Just apply it three times a day!" Zhao Xiaofei handed the anti-inflammatory medicine and alcohol to the doctor.

"Thank you very much for saving my life! Here is 500 taels, please accept it!" After saying this, Mr. Liu asked his servant to bring a plate of silver.

Zhao Xiaofei didn't say anything and took the silver. Hu Xian smiled and said to Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, you really know how to do business. The glass medicine bottle my brother left for you is worth more than 500 taels. This requires needlework, surgery, and medication. You should at least pay this amount, right?" Hu Xian said, holding up a finger.

"Mr. Hu is right, I was confused. This young man is really a miracle doctor! I will send someone to your house later!" Mr. Liu hurriedly thanked him again.

Zhao Xiaofei didn't hesitate and returned to the clinic with Hu Xian. As soon as they sat down, Hu Xian smiled and said, "Oh! Brother Zhao, you are truly talented! Why don't you come to my clinic? I'll give you 30% of the shares and I'll specialize in this type of surgery."

"Forget it! I have too many things to do and my heart is not in this. If it were my eldest brother, he would definitely agree." Zhao Xiaofei said. Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, fortunately it was a woman today and didn't let him do it himself. If he had done it himself, it would have been over. He had seen a veterinarian perform surgery on a dog in the pet hospital. If you ask why he didn't give the young lady anesthesia? Sorry, Zhao Xiaofei really didn't know how much anesthesia to give. If he really had to give it, if he gave too much, the young lady might not wake up.

"Oh! Is my brother also a master in medicine?" Hu Xian asked.

"Yeah! He's the most prestigious surgeon in our country! If a patient's finger is broken, he can reattach it," Zhao Xiaofei boasted. Zhao Xiaokun wasn't even well-known in his hospital, let alone nationwide. He only performed minor surgeries, and he only assisted with major surgeries.

"What a pity! What a pity! I can't discuss this with my brother. It will be a lifelong regret for me." Hu Xian looked as if he was in great pain.

"If I can find him in the future, I'll have him come to see you! This is a small gift from me, I hope Brother Hu will accept it." Zhao Xiaofei took out a surgical kit. Of course, this is what the veterinary hospital uses for dog surgery, except for the sutures. But it can definitely be used for minor human surgery.

Hu Xian saw this surgical box at Mr. Liu's house. Of course he wanted it, but he said, "How can I feel embarrassed? It's too expensive. I really..." Hu Xian wanted to refuse.

"Brother Hu, please accept it! Why should we be polite? We are family, so what belongs to me is yours. I have several sets of surgical boxes! If this one breaks, come to me! I will give you another one." Zhao Xiaofei said.

"How dare I damage such a treasure? I will use it wisely and live up to Brother Zhao's expectations." Hu Xian finished his words and bowed deeply to Zhao Xiaofei. Hu Xian felt that his family owed Zhao Xiaofei too much. First, he saved his father, then saved his eldest brother's future. Now, he was teaching him medicine. He was like a reborn parent.

In fact, there were surgical instruments in ancient times. For example, there were scalpels in the Ming Dynasty. However, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, surgery and dissection techniques were considered to be unorthodox and unethical, disregarding human ethics and the teachings of the sages. The development of surgery was severely restricted.

Just as Hu Xian was bowing to Zhao Xiaofei, Doctor Hu returned. Seeing his youngest son bowing to Zhao Xiaofei, he asked Hu Xian, "What are you doing?"

Hu Xian turned and told his father how Zhao Xiaofei had just taught him how to perform surgery and given him instruments. Doctor Hu also bowed hastily. Zhao Xiaofei didn't dare accept the greeting and quickly dodged, then helped Doctor Hu up.

Doctor Hu said, "The Crown Prince is truly a noble of our Hu family. I, as an old man, actually have nothing to teach my son! Today, the Crown Prince has taught my son the family's unique skills, which means we are now master and disciple. You should accept this gift from me!"

"Brother Hu is much older than me. How can I let him be my apprentice?" said Zhao Xiaofei.

"Learning is boundless, and those who achieve success are the first. Let Xian'er host a banquet for you to become his disciple tomorrow!" said Doctor Hu.
