Chapter 468: Doctor Yus Promise(1/2)
A bloody gold-injury technique made the onlookers Liu Guanzhang's eyes wide open and he became silent.
In the last step, the embroiderer Ms. Liu used her hands that were shaking like chaff to sew up the damaged part of the intestine bit by bit. She carefully stuffed the intestine back and then sewed up the wound.
After it was over, Li Mengxi, the military doctor Tian Bu, the butcher Tu Xin and the embroiderer Liu Shi were all covered in sweat.
After the operation was completed, Li Mengxi finally remembered to see how the injured was doing.
The wounded man lay motionless on the door panel, his face as white as paper. His eyes were staring straight at his abdomen, and the look of horror seemed to be frozen on his face.
When Li Mengxi saw the injured man's condition, he immediately exclaimed, (Holy shit?! He's dead?)
For a moment, Li Mengxi thought a lot, why did he die, excessive blood loss or...
While Li Mengxi was thinking wildly, the injured man's eyes suddenly moved, "I, I can still live...can I live?"
The wounded man's voice was shaking violently, his teeth were chattering, and he was stammering.
I heard the military doctor say that he was going to die because his intestines were broken. At that time, the wounded soldier felt fine and thought he might still be alive. But when he saw his belly being opened with a knife and his intestines were pulled out, the wounded soldier immediately died.
I feel like I can't survive no matter what.
A wounded soldier is considered brave if he is not frightened to death.
Li Mengxi carefully looked at the wounded soldier and saw that although his face was pale due to blood loss, he was in good spirits.
Li Mengxi smiled at the wounded soldier and said, "If you were elsewhere, you would not be able to survive your injury for three days and you would die.
Here, if we let you live for thirteen days, we may even let you live for decades!"
Li Mengxi comforted the wounded soldiers with great courage.
Li Mengxi said that wounded soldiers could live for at least thirteen days, and Li Mengxi's confidence came from the pig that died not long ago.
The pig's intestines as the subject of the experiment were completely cut into two sections, and then the severed intestines were sutured. The pig survived for thirteen days before dying.
Pigs can live that long. There is only a small hole in the intestines of this wounded soldier. It is not completely broken. The broken hole is sutured with intestinal thread, which should heal better. Pigs can live for thirteen days, why can't humans?
?
The operation is finally over.
It is the first time that intestinal suturing is used on humans, which is a challenge for everyone.
Tian Bu walked over and took the pulse of the wounded soldier. After a while, Li Mengxi asked, "How is it?"
Tian Bu thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad."
There is no way to monitor heart rate, respiration, blood sugar, blood pressure, or any other messy index. The only way to know the patient's physical condition after surgery is to take a pulse.
Li Mengxi didn't understand what the pulse could tell. Since Tian Bu said it was fine, the wounded soldier's pulse should be fine, which meant his physical condition was good.
Li Mengxi, who felt physically and mentally exhausted, smiled when he looked at everyone who had just worked together to complete a beautiful metal surgery, "Let's go out and take a rest."
After that, take the lead and walk out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, Li Mengxi, not knowing what happened, fell forward and knelt down with a plop.
Tian Bu, who was close, quickly helped Li Mengxi up.
Li Mengxi looked down at his legs blankly. After a while, he realized that it was the legendary - his legs were weak.
During the operation, Li Mengxi was also scared. Unknowingly at the time, his legs were actually weak from fear.
Thinking that his legs were weak from fear, Li Mengxi smiled helplessly and struggled to get up.
Behind him, Liu Bei called Li Mengxi, "Xi'er, is this over?"
Li Mengxi turned around and said, "Ah, it's over."
Liu Bei came over with reproach in his eyes, "Are you going to leave without giving me an explanation?"
As he spoke, his eyes slightly pointed towards the wounded soldier lying on the door panel.
Li Mengxi observed the words and expressions, and when he looked at the pitiful and helpless wounded soldier lying on the door panel, Li Mengxi understood instantly.
I have to explain it.
Li Mengxi then walked over to the wounded soldier and explained patiently.
"Don't be afraid," Li Mengxi looked at the pale wounded soldier and comforted him, "Xiao's medical skills are extraordinary, just relax.
I just have to torture you for a period of time. I have to be unable to move for two months. Remember, you must not move, even if you turn over and stand up.
As soon as your intestines are sewn shut, if you move them, your intestines will open again.
Also, you can’t eat rice, just drink sugar water. It will take two months.
If it doesn't happen in two months, you'll be fine."
After Li Mengxi finished explaining, the wounded soldier looked relieved.
Li Mengxi raised his head and nodded towards Liu Bei, then turned and left.
In the tent, Liu Bei then comforted the wounded soldier for a while.
Just now Liu Bei specifically stopped Li Mengxi. It was indeed because Li Mengxi was not considerate in his work.
After disemboweling someone, then leaving without saying a word is inappropriate.
Li Mengxi understood what Liu Bei meant and realized the shortcomings.
After the operation, the wounded soldier must be given instructions on what to pay attention to after the operation. If he is not told, the wounded soldier will lie there bored and get up and wander around without anyone looking at him. If the wound collapses, he will be dead.
What's more, if you agree not to eat and can only drink sugar water, but don't explain, the wounded soldier will not take it seriously. What if someone comes to see the wounded soldier and brings food and wine to the wounded soldier.
The wounded soldiers drank wine and ate meat, and felt very unhappy.
Then, my intestines haven’t healed yet and I eat a lot of meat. How can I get better?
Li Mengxi learned medical knowledge from this, [After surgery, the wounded must be given instructions for postoperative precautions. If they are not told, military doctors and medical staff will not be able to take care of them all the time, so there will be times of negligence. Human life is at stake, and negligence will lead to death.
】
Outside the tent, Li Mengxi, military doctor Tian Bu, butcher Tu Xin, and embroiderer Liu Shi were sitting on a log to rest.
After a laborious operation, everyone was very tired. They sat and watched the people passing by in the wounded barracks without speaking.
Li Mengxi heard the sobbing and turned around to see that it was Mrs. Liu.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Li Mengxi asked in confusion.
Mrs. Liu wiped her tears, her eyes were red, and she looked at Li Mengxi and said, "Commander, can I not sew my intestines? I'm afraid that my opponents won't obey my orders. What if..."
Li Mengxi shook his head with a smile and stretched out his hand to stop Mrs. Liu, "Aunt Liu, don't belittle yourself. The intestines are thin and slippery, as thin as paper. You are the only one in our army who is good at needlework and your craftsmanship is superb. If you refuse,
I can't find anyone else."
Seeing that Ms. Liu was still trying to speak, Li Mengxi said solemnly, looking at the crowd in front of her, "Aunt Liu, don't underestimate what we are doing, and slit your intestines and look at it as a small matter, but in reality it is a very serious matter.
I don't know how much money Aunt Liu can make by mending clothes for others.
Let me make it clear, if the wounded soldier with a broken intestine survives this time, Aunt Liu, Uncle Tu Xin, and the military doctor, we will all be made marquises and generals!"
Li Mengxi's words were loud and powerful.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind. Li Mengxi turned around and saw Liu Bei coming out, and immediately said, "Mr.
, do you think it’s feasible?”
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately caught Li Mengxi's words and laughed, "This effort of saving the dying, healing the wounded and bringing the dead back to life is worth being awarded the title of a thousand generals!"
Liu Bei made a promise in public.
The Liu family was a female, and when it was said that she could be a general with a thousand men, the Liu family was very embarrassed.
As for Tian Bu, with a smile on his face, Tian Bu is a person who has seen the big world.
The old butcher Tu Xin scratched his hair and looked at Liu Bei smiling from ear to ear. A thousand-man general, for old Tu Xin, was a high position that could not be reached in three lifetimes.
Li Mengxi observed the reactions of several people and was very emotional.
The conditions in the army are limited, and even if they only have suture skills, they can't find anyone to do it.
There was no other way. According to all the technical steps required in the surgical process, the belly was disemboweled and the old butcher Tu Xin was hired to open the section. To sew the section, Liu Shi, an embroiderer with exquisite craftsmanship, was hired.
Suture the wound.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that I found the right person.
Old man Tu Xin, who has been killing pigs and sheep for decades, uses a knife to cut the skin and cut the flesh. He has rich experience and clean and neat techniques.
Good guy, that knife cuts very accurately and quickly. As long as one stroke is made, it is as long as one stroke, and as deep as one stroke is.
Take the moment during the operation as an example. The wounded soldier was lying flat on the door panel. Old Man Tu Xin said he couldn't put the knife in but wanted to turn it over. Isn't this the result of years of experience coming into play?
It’s hard to say that if you need to recruit a large number of qualified surgical operators, it’s really a good idea to find them from butchers.
Let’s talk about Liu’s. Liu’s needlework skills are really superb.
Li Mengxi tried suturing the intestines, and it was smooth and thin. Li Mengxi's suturing pierced both eyes, while Liu's suturing was done by sewing the two broken intestines together.
Doesn't this perfectly sew up the intestines?
At the other end of the wooden pile, Liu, Guan, and Zhang also sat down to rest.
