It was another working day. When everyone at Huimin Pharmacy saw Zheng Xiong, their expressions were a little strange and they hesitated to speak.
Zheng Xiong Shiran walked to the main hall and glanced around. Everyone working the night shift was in good spirits. After all, there were no people running around late at night. They also came to the pharmacy to see a doctor and get medicine, which was similar to the emergency room in the modern world.
In fact, it is enough to have only a few people on duty, but there are enough manpower and there are few people coming, so there is no need to adjust.
After clearing his throat, Zheng Xiong said.
"Don't leave when the meeting takes over. I'm going to have a meeting. When everyone comes, come to the backyard."
After saying that, he ignored everyone and walked to the backyard to lay down his body.
About an hour later, the handover people also arrived. After the handover was completed, everyone came to the backyard to listen to Master Zheng Xiongzheng's speech.
Wu You stepped forward and woke up Zheng Xiong who had fallen asleep again.
Shaking his head, he saw everyone gathered and didn't say much, so he went straight to the point.
"Yesterday, a batch of wine was brewed in the backyard. You must have heard about it. But this is not for you to drink, but for treating illnesses. This wine is very effective in cleaning and treating trauma."
Before Zheng Xiong finished speaking, another doctor on duty outside hurried in and said to everyone.
"Sir Tiling, there is a man outside. He was hit on the foot by a stone while working a few days ago. The bones are fine. But the wound was very traumatic and he did not seek medical treatment in time. It has worsened in the past two days. The skin has become necrotic and the hair has appeared. Pus. There is also a low-grade fever. I can’t figure it out. We need to discuss a countermeasure."
After listening to the doctor's story, everyone looked at Zheng Xiong. After all, you have to go and see it to find out.
Zheng Xiong was also a little surprised. He was treated as a protagonist. As soon as he got out of the alcohol, trauma patients came to see the doctor. He was idle.
Someone came to act as a guinea pig, which was more effective than just talking. He invited everyone to the main hall.
A man with a pale face was lying on a chair. Next to him, a big man looked around anxiously, and a woman was wiping the patient's cold sweat with tears in her eyes.
Seeing someone coming, the woman immediately knelt down and cried.
"My lords, please do a good job and save my husband. Our whole family is counting on my husband. If he is gone, how will we survive? Please sir."
"Okay, Mr. Tiling is here, how can you cry and make such a fuss? You are destined to live and die. If you can save us, you will do your best. Stop arguing. We are all here to see your husband's illness. Get out of the way."
Hearing this, the woman quickly moved out of the way and stopped crying, but she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.
When they arrived, everyone looked at the patient's thigh. It was worse than expected and had begun to rot.
Everyone who saw it shook their heads. This kind of trauma is already difficult to treat. If you look at the ancient army, you will know that as long as the trauma can stop bleeding and form scabs, it will be fine. Except for tetanus, there is no cure for that thing now, so we can only get vaccinated quickly to prevent it. Normal trauma is difficult to treat once it becomes necrotic, which is also an important reason why military casualties are equal.
In fact, there was experience in dealing with this kind of trauma in ancient times. Alcohol and other drugs were used to clean windows. However, the alcohol concentration was not high enough to achieve the sterilization effect, so the effect was not very good.
However, with modern knowledge, this kind of trauma is not too fatal as long as it is treated properly.
"Which of you is better at surgery? Come forward."
Everyone looked at each other and quickly stood up.
"Sir, I have some experience with trauma."
"Okay, you go and use a knife to scrape off his infected meat. Until you see the fresh meat, you go and hold him down with a few people. This process is a bit painful. Don't let him move around." Zheng Xiong pointed to a few people. Then he ordered
"Wang Er, go get a basin of boiling water, put a spoonful of salt in it, put it in cold water and let it cool down before bringing it over."
"Zhao San, go get some of that alcohol. By the way, do you have any cotton?"
"Sir, we don't have any cotton here."
"Forget it, just bring the alcohol. Remember to buy some cotton next time. Go quickly."
"yes"
After giving the instructions, Zheng Xiong looked up and saw that everyone was already holding the patient's hand. The doctor who was better at treating trauma also raised his knife. Zheng Xiong quickly shouted stop.
"Have you sterilized this knife?"
"Sir, what is disinfection?"
"Forget it, go get the charcoal basin and grill the knife."
Another random person was pointed out.
The doctor heard this and quickly brought a charcoal basin over.
After roasting the knife for a while, the doctor officially started to operate. After a while, a new situation emerged. There was a bit too much blood. The man also struggled because of the unbearable pain. But there is strength in numbers, and the man's struggles are of no use.
I saw a lot of bleeding, which affected the progress. Zheng Xiong asked someone to bring a cloth strip and tied it above the wound. After a while, the blood flow slowed down and the doctor quickly cleaned it.
Cleaning the wound is quite delicate, mainly because there are so many people watching, and people who come for treatment and buy medicine also join in the fun, attitude is everything.
The alcohol had already arrived, the simple saline solution had been cooled and brought over, and the wound was finally cleaned.
After the last bit of pus was cleaned up, Zheng Xiong asked the doctor to rinse with salt water. After rinsing, he untied the cloth.
Then ask the doctor to wipe it slowly with a cloth dipped in alcohol. The alcohol will evaporate quickly until the bleeding stops. Once you achieve this step, the cleanup is basically complete.
Apply some ointment. This step is mainly to create a sterile environment. The ointment is just for faster recovery.
All that's left is to tell his family to keep an eye on him and not to move around to prevent the wound from collapsing.
My tense mind relaxed, and I felt a little nauseous when I saw the rotten meat in the small basin.
"Take this away and find a place to bury it. Also, don't go home. I have a ward here. I will stay here for two days. You can leave someone to look after me." After saying this to the family members, he continued to address the crowd.
"You guys will discuss it later and come up with a prescription to treat the fever. I have seen how to treat trauma. I will follow this step next time. In fact, cleaning like this will be useful for back carbuncles, cracked wounds, and suppuration. Please note it down. This disease is yours Pay more attention, and if the wound becomes necrotic, continue to clean it, wash it with salt water, and wipe it again with alcohol."
"Yes, sir."
Everyone doesn't know this principle. They can understand it when cleaning wounds. There are precedents, but they only have a little understanding of everything else. It’s not easy to ask. We can only see the effect in two days.
Zheng Xiong left and everyone dispersed.
After watching the fun, the curious onlookers also left. But that strange treatment method. The rapidly evaporating alcohol left a deep impression on everyone and talked about it with great enthusiasm.
That night, the patient's mental condition improved a lot, and the doctors on duty were amazed when they heard about it.
The wound recovered well after the dressing was changed the next day, and scabs had formed, and everyone was amazed. At this point, there is basically nothing wrong with it. But I have to observe it for another day.
When the woman heard this, she cried with joy. She thanked everyone and even went to give Zheng Xiong a prostration to thank him.
"No, sir, you don't like worldly things. We will explain it to you."
We have been getting along with him for a while, and everyone knows the nature of this adult. He is just lazy and will never stand if he can lie down. Until something happens, they are just like salted fish, and they all feel sorry for themselves.
On the third day, the patient was discharged from the hospital. The cost of treatment was calculated at 200 yuan. The rest was easy to say, but alcohol was not easy to price.
Two hundred cash is not cheap in Nanjing. An ordinary family can earn ten or twenty cash a day, which is equivalent to half a month's salary.
The woman looked troubled, but the patient gritted his teeth and cupped his hands.
"My lords, I cannot repay you for saving my life. I will ask my wife to get the money for the treatment."
Seeing her husband speak, the woman immediately went home to get the money.
The man was staying in the main hall, and a curious person recognized him as the man who had suffered a severe trauma and infection two days ago. After chatting for a while, I was amazed to see that the man's wounds were really scabbed.
When the news spread, Huimin Pharmacy and even Zheng Xiong were praised and admired by others.
In the next few days, more and more people came to treat injuries. These doctors followed the steps taught by Zheng Xiong, and the cure rate was 100%. This step is scary. Although there was no penicillin, the physical survival instinct of the ancients naturally worked well after the wounds were properly treated.
There are many people treating illnesses, and among them there are also people who buy wine, especially wine. At first, it was just traders who came to ask. Later, when some officials heard the news, they ordered people to come to buy wine, which made Zheng Xiong's head as big as a bucket.
