Jiang Manhai felt a pain under his nose. He woke up from a coma and regained consciousness. He felt a chill all over his body. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was naked.
Then there was a sharp pain in my crotch. I tried to raise my head and saw that the flesh between my legs was bloody and rotten.
ah! Take the oath! ?
When he realized that his baby was dead, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes and fainted again.
He didn't even realize there were several people in the cabin.
"Lao Chong, didn't you wake him up? Why did you faint again?" Zhao Mengqi, who was just about to interrogate, frowned.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious. Let Weichen take a look."
Dr. Chong put away the silver needle, opened Jiang Manhai's eyelids and took a look, then took a pulse and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, he just fainted, not fainted."
"Is there a difference!?"
"Of course there is. He was unconscious before and completely lost all consciousness. Even if you cut him with a knife, he would not feel pain, so he needed to be treated with acupuncture. But now he just fainted from fright. Regardless, he will wake up after some time."
"Oh? Can you wake me up now?"
"It's possible, but it may cause him to become mentally confused and lose his memory, which may not be conducive to interrogation."
"But didn't you just say that his lower body was injured so badly that it would be life-threatening? What if we wait and he dies?"
"This..." Dr. Chong was a little at a loss.
Originally, in order to beg for mercy, the Ding family father and son told everything they knew. They only knew a little bit about the Liu family and Japanese merchants. For the details, they had to ask Jiang Manhai himself, otherwise they would have thrown this guy into the lake and fed him. Fish.
Jiang Manhai's current physical condition has put the matter in a dilemma. It seems that he has to save this guy's life first before he can get the information. ◥...▃▂
Zhao Mengqi glanced at the rotten meat in the grass and thought for a moment, "Lao Chong, if we simply cut him up, would he be able to survive?"
"Cut?!" Imperial Physician Chong was astonished. He was a doctor, and he always wanted to cure the patients as much as possible, so he had a fixed mindset. However, Zhao Mengqi's words reminded him, "Yes, since it's so bad If it can’t be cured, then just cut it up. It’s just two ounces of meat missing, so it will definitely survive. Don’t those yellow gates in the palace also have that stuff?”
"Old Chong, I think your medical skills have improved a bit. Your ancestor Hua Tuo knew how to cut out flesh to remove poisons, scrape bones to heal wounds, and split the brain to treat diseases. How can you not learn and inherit these surgical operations?" Zhao Mengqi looked as if he hated iron and could not become steel, and his back ached when he sat talking.
"Um... Your Highness, Weichen is an imperial physician. How dare you use these tiger and wolf methods on nobles? Even if Weichen has a hundred heads, it's not enough to chop him off," Imperial Physician Chong explained briefly, then thinking about Zhao Mengqi's words, he continued , "As for this..."surgery" you mentioned? In fact, there are some, such as Hua Tuo and Bian Que, and there are many records on the causes and symptoms of various diseases. Golden needle extraction should also belong to the surgery mentioned by His Highness. "
Zhao Mengqi nodded, "When you treat a disease, you generally use medicine and stones. In my opinion, this medicine is internal medicine, and isn't acupuncture and stone surgery?"
He was a layman, so making such an assertion was completely nonsense, but with his identity here, Chongrong had to listen carefully and think about it.
"Your Highness's words make some sense. We all treat diseases according to the conditions of the disease. We use internal and external methods whichever is appropriate. We don't make any distinction. It's just that cutting off the affected area with a knife is generally not accepted by people. So I rarely think about that.”
"Let me ask you, how do you treat trauma like a stab wound?"
"What Your Highness is talking about is a gold wound. Naturally, it involves debriding, applying medicine, bandaging, and taking it internally."
"What if the bleeding doesn't stop?"
"Acupuncture, massage, and medication."
"Um, what if the wound is too big to close?"
"Then sew, using raw silk, hair, mulberry bark, etc."
"Are there any stitches!? A knife?"
"Yes, didn't Wei Chen say that it is recorded in the Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases that some broken intestines can be sutured and reconnected depending on the situation. There are also boils, boils, fistulas, such as hemorrhoids. In helpless cases, they can also be repaired. It will be cut off..." Doctor Chong gave an example.
"Hey!?" Zhao Mengqi was surprised. He didn't expect that ancient China also had profound achievements in surgery. "Then why don't you seem to use these methods much?"
"Usually those who use this method, including bone setting, are called ulcer doctors. Surgery doctors are particularly despised in the world. Most of them are people who are not good at medical skills and do it reluctantly."
What?
It means that surgeons in ancient China were scumbags in medicine. They could not learn mainstream medical skills well, so they learned these skills, and they were looked down upon...
Then I heard Chongrong say, "And this external treatment method is more... Well, to put it in words that His Highness can understand, it means that when there is a wound on the human body, it is easy for external evil to invade, and the poisonous evil is difficult to pull out, and it is easy for pus to ulcerate. Instead, it causes incurable diseases, so orthodox doctors use it with caution and prohibit it.”
Zhao Mengqi understood. It meant that wound infection was a problem. Although there were ways to deal with it, it depended on luck. Some unlucky patients might just get a hemorrhoid cut, or they might get tetanus, septicemia, etc., and end up dying.
Before there were acute anti-inflammatory antibiotics such as penicillin and sulfonamides, these diseases basically meant the call of death.
Although Zhao Mengqi knew how penicillin came from, he couldn't remember the specific details. It should be quite difficult to get it. If he really wanted to use surgery on a large scale, he could only think of more ways to disinfect it beforehand. The most practical one would be It's alcohol.
Speaking of alcohol disinfection, some people in this era were actually aware of it. For example, Song Ci, the executioner of the Song Dynasty, recorded it in the first aid prescription for clearing wrongs.
"When a viper hurts a person... put rice vinegar or soju in the mouth, suck out the poison by sucking it, spit it out as you suck it, switch to wine and vinegar, and suck it again until the redness, lightness, and swelling subside."
This sentence also shows that distilled liquor existed in the Song Dynasty, but due to the imperial court's monopoly on liquor and the immature technology, it was not popular, and the alcohol content was not high enough.
But these are not problems for Zhao Mengqi, the successor of the empire. All he needs to consider is that winemaking consumes a lot of food, and the Song Dynasty is relatively short of food at this time.
Therefore, nothing can be accomplished overnight. If you really want to make changes in this era, you still have to start with the food issue, and the root of this will fall on the land issue.
As we all know, the Song Dynasty did not suppress land annexation. Most of the land was occupied by scholar-bureaucrats and nobles. Even less than 4% of the state-owned land, let alone civilians, formed extremely powerful landlords. Class, perhaps this is the fundamental reason why "the scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor share the same world".
As soon as Zhao Mengqi's thoughts started to wander, he stumbled and became distracted.
"Your Highness? Your Highness!?"
Zhao Mengqi was awakened by Dr. Chong, "Huh?"
"Have you cut off the head of this thief now?"
Dr. Chong Tai was quite professional and had not forgotten the "patient" in front of him who had been waiting for a long time.
