Chapter 468: Doctor Yus Promise(2/2)
Liu Bei and Guan Yu had seen Li Mengxi and others disembowel a pig several times, but this was the first time for Zhang Fei to disembowel a human being.
Zhang Fei leaned forward, stretched his neck, and stared straight at Li Mengxi.
Li Mengxi felt Zhang Fei's gaze and turned to look over, "Third general, what are you looking at me for?"
"I said Xiao Meng, you are disembowelling people like killing pigs. Are you killing people or saving people?" Zhang Fei stared at Li Mengxi with wide eyes and asked.
Li Mengxi said, "The three generals were joking. Of course we are here to save people."
"Does it take a knife to open the stomach to save someone?" Zhang Fei asked in pursuit.
"Yeah. I have to use a knife to cut my stomach open." Li Mengxi replied with a normal expression.
"Why? Doing a dissection to save people?" Zhang Fei had a lot of doubts on his face.
"Because my intestines are broken and I have to take them out and sew them up.
The gun pierced one eye, and it was difficult to get the intestines, so it had to be cut open."
What he said was very clear. Zhang Fei scratched his head as if he didn't understand.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Zhang Fei asked again, "Aren't you using a butcher's knife to open someone's stomach? Can't you use other knives? How shabby."
Li Mengxi said, "Other knives are not easy to use. The pig-killing knife is easy to use."
Zhang Fei nodded, and then looked at Li Mengxi seriously, "As for the butcher knife, I am used to killing pigs. If I can kill pigs, won't I be able to save people?"
Li Mengxi couldn't laugh or cry, "If you want to put it this way, it is exactly the same. There is no difference between dissecting a human belly and dissecting a pig's belly. All it takes is a skilled and steady hand."
When Zhang Fei heard what Li Mengxi said, he couldn't sit still and said, "In this case, he, Lao Zhang, can also save people."
In fact, the surgery performed by Li Mengxi and others at that time was bloody, shocking, and made Zhang Fei confused.
Because he was not aware of his skill, Zhang Fei immediately wanted to learn this skill from Li Mengxi, who knew how to kill pigs and could save people.
Zhang Fei clamored to learn, while Liu Bei and Guan Yu laughed and booed.
Li Mengxi looked at Zhang Fei helplessly for a long time, "If you really want to learn, learn from military doctor Tian Bu. There are many things to learn, not just surgery."
Zhang Fei was impatient and couldn't wait any longer, so he took Tian Bu aside to discuss the matter.
Tian Bu had to talk about catgut, alcohol, and pests.
Suddenly seeing the unwiped blood on Zhang Fei's face and several small scabbed wounds on Zhang Fei's chest, Tian Bu said, "Third General, I'd better take care of your injuries first."
Zhang Fei lowered his head and saw that he had forgotten about it.
Zhang Fei then followed Tian Bu and left.
Li Mengxi looked at the leaving figures of Zhang Fei and Tian Bu with interest.
From the butcher Tu Xin, it has been proven that a butcher with extensive experience in surgery can be beneficial to surgical operations.
If Zhang Fei has enough experience in killing pigs, there will be one more person in the army who can participate in the operation.
This siege resulted in huge casualties, and many people were wounded with swords, guns, arrows and crossbows in their chests and abdomens. This was a bad aspect.
The good thing is that most people who suffered serious injuries to their chest and abdominal organs either died directly under the city, or died not long after they were brought back.
Of the injured people with chest and abdominal injuries, the only one who could be treated was the one in the tent.
From the process of performing the surgery, Li Mengxi discovered several problems.
During the entire operation, the injured person remained awake and witnessed the bloody operation process.
This is inappropriate. The wounded man was very brave for not being stunned.
According to the normal surgical operation from memory, the injured patient should be covered entirely with cloth.
As for the purpose of doing this, Li Mengxi guessed that it might be to reduce the psychological burden on the surgeon.
If there is no need to cover the person with a cloth, then the surgeon will feel that he is disembowelling the person and sewing up his intestines.
After covering the person, the surgeon can't see the whole person, only the wound. When he concentrates on the operation, he no longer thinks that he is sewing intestines, and only thinks about what is happening in front of him.
It's just a piece of meat that exists alone.
This means that you cannot see the whole person when you see the wounded body.
From both the perspective of the injured and the surgeon, the injured's eyes are covered and he cannot see the bloody operation process, so the psychological pressure is much less.
From a doctor's point of view, when the patient is covered with a cloth and can't see the whole person, he doesn't realize that he is operating a knife or acupuncture on the person, and the psychological pressure is much less.
In addition, the mask may also have the effect of helping concentration.
To put it simply, there are many flowers and plants in the flower bush. At this time, cover the flower bush with a piece of cloth and leave only one red flower uncovered. Then all the attention will definitely be focused on the red flower and there will not be a mess of flowers.
Grass, bees, butterflies, etc. share the attention.
During the operation, cover all the parts that do not require surgery with cloth, so that the unimportant twitching of the injured person's fingers, tightening of the skin, trembling of the body, etc., will not distract the doctor's attention.
