Chapter 35: An epoch-making operation(1/2)

 PS: I changed the protagonist's name for dozens of chapters, and it took me seven or eight hours. It was harder than typing, for fear of missing something. If readers see it, please remind me and I will correct it as soon as possible.

I hope you will always support me, thank you!

*******

In the next few days, Sun Simiao lived directly in Yang's Mansion.

Whenever I have time, I will always pester Yang Fan to explain some knowledge of Western medicine.

Originally, there were not many goods in his stomach, but now Yang Fan was a little afraid of seeing this brother who was full of knowledge, so he had to take Xue Rengui out early and come back late.

However, Sun Simiao didn't mind. When Yang Fan was away, he would study it himself or find some patients nearby to practice it, which was quite like a medical madman.

On this day, Yang Fan and Xue Rengui rushed back to the mansion from Baishui Village. As soon as they stepped into the front yard, they happened to be caught by Sun Simiao.

It seems that he had been waiting in the front yard for a long time. As soon as he saw Yang Fan, he immediately came up and asked:

"My friend, have you studied the symptoms of intestinal abscess?"

"Intestinal carbuncle? Is there someone in the mansion suffering from this disease?" Yang Fan frowned.

Sun Simiao smiled awkwardly:

"Today I went out of the mansion, I happened to meet a little girl. Her brother suffered from intestinal abscess. The little girl made a bunch of grass and sold herself. Seeing that she was pitiful, the old Taoist brought the brother and sister back to the mansion."

Only then did Yang Fan realize that this was the case.

The term intestinal abscess may sound a little unfamiliar to everyone, but if it were changed to appendicitis, it should be familiar.

In later generations, appendicitis can be said to be a very pediatric disease, and the introductory operation of almost all surgeons is appendicitis surgery.

In surgery, there are few simpler procedures than removal of appendicitis.

But in the Tang Dynasty, intestinal abscesses are mostly terminal illnesses.

It would be fine if the attack was not serious, but it could be maintained by Chinese medicine. However, if the inflammation and suppuration were severe, it was at the point where surgery was necessary to treat it. In ancient times, I could only wait to die.

Under the guidance of Sun Simiao, Yang Fan asked while walking:

"Is this patient suffering from intestinal abscess? Is it so serious?"

"It's already very serious, but if I prescribe the prescription, it will prevent the condition from worsening."

But after listening to my friend’s remarks that day, I had some new ideas.

According to my friend, intestinal abscess is caused by a small piece of useless intestinal inflammation and suppuration in the human belly.

So, can we cut off this useless intestine?

However, if the intestines inside are cut out, the intestines must be opened and broken. How can we ensure that the patient does not suffer from swelling (wound infection). What should we do if the intestines are too big and the stomach cannot be closed?

Yang Fan said in his heart that he is indeed a great medical expert. At that time, he just mentioned it casually, and Sun Simiao could think of so many things. He was so talented in medicine.

Seeing Yang Fan suddenly stopped, Sun Simiao asked in confusion: "My friend, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Ahem.

After a dry cough, Yang Fan replied:

"My brother is right. Swelling and ulcers after the operation are the most fatal. I know a way to effectively prevent ulcers."

"My friend has a way to prevent swelling and ulcers?" Sun Simiao was shocked when he heard this.

In fact, there have always been surgery in the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine community. Bian Que, Hua Tuo and others are excellent surgeons in ancient times.

However, the existence of bacteria was not recognized in ancient times, so many patients would suffer from wound infection after surgery, which is what the ancients called swelling and ulcers, which could easily lead to death of patients.

Therefore, swelling and ulcers after surgery have always been the most deadly problem in ancient surgical operations.

For example: Most of the soldiers who died in war were not killed directly, but died of swelling and ulcers after being injured.

People who work or fall accidentally may easily suffer from swelling and ulcer death, so the lifespan of the ancients was not long.

If there is a way to solve the problem of swelling and ulcer, this is definitely a cross-age leap in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Yes, although it cannot completely prevent swelling and ulcers, it can greatly reduce the probability of swelling and ulcers."

Alcohol disinfection and hydrogen peroxide are a very common way to prevent wound infection in later generations because people discovered bacteria with microscopes and knew that alcohol and hydrogen peroxide can sterilize.

In Datang, hydrogen peroxide does not exist, but alcohol can be used, but it is not easy to explain the existence of bacteria.

Well, after the glass factory is completed, we can see if we can create a rough microscope.

Alcohol can be replaced by high-alcohol, which also has a good bactericidal effect.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan dares to say this, at most he can get the distilled liquor.

Following Sun Simiao to the edge of the courtyard, pushing the door and seeing a little girl like bean sprouts feeding water to a haggard young man on the bed next to the couch.

Seeing Sun Simiao and the others come in, the young man struggled to get up and want to greet him.

Sun Simiao waved his hand and said:

"This is the earl in the mansion. The earl is skilled in medicine. I am discussing with him how to treat your intestinal abscess."

Before the young man could reply, the little girl immediately knelt down and said in a crying voice:

"Please ask the Lord to save my brother, and the little girl will be sent by the Lord to be a slave in the future."

And the young man said with a pleading look:

"Thank you for your help. My sister is still young, and she is really good at selling herself as a slave. I, Wang Xuance, have some knowledge, so I will serve her on behalf of her. From now on, my Wang Xuance will be the Lord's life."

"Wang Xuance?"

Yang Fan couldn't help but raise his voice.

This abnormal reaction made Wang Xuance on the bed stunned for a moment.

Are you very famous? Know yourself?

Why did the Lord in front of him react so much?

"Sir, I'm Wang Xuance."

"There is no record in history that Wang Xuance had intestinal abscess. Could it be that he was controlled by traditional Chinese medicine? This Wang Xuance is an amazing man. The story of one person destroying a country is widely circulated, and it can also be said to be a talent who is not recognized."

In just a short time, Wang Xuance's information quickly passed through Yang Fan's mind.

I was secretly happy in my heart, but I didn't expect that Wang Xuance would be so depressed at this time.

Anyway, the court will not use him again in the future, so it would be better to take it to his own use so that he can do his best.

Although Wang Xuance's martial arts skills are not as strong as Xue Rengui, he can be regarded as a true Confucian general and diplomat.

Thinking of this, looking at Wang Xuance who was a little worried on the bed, he smiled and comforted:

"Xuance, don't worry, you don't have to sell yourself as slaves. After you recover from your illness, if you want, just follow me and do things."

The ancients were loyal and righteous, and the effect was better than anything else.

People like Wang Xuance have their own ideas and cannot control him by selling himself as a slave, and will limit his ability to play.

Yang Fan never wanted to use this to limit him. As a time traveler, if an ancient man could not conquer him for a while, he would have failed.

Sure enough, Wang Xuance said excitedly after hearing this:

"Thank you for your love, Xuan Ce remembers it in my heart. Xuan Ce will definitely go through fire and water for the Lord in this life. I will never refuse, but I am just a sick person..."

The more generous Yang Fan showed, the more moved Wang Xuance was. He was just talking about his illness and felt a little heavy.

After all, in such a serious intestinal abscess, nine out of ten people could not live long in the Tang Dynasty.

With a smile on his face, Yang Fan pointed at Sun Simiao and said:

"Don't worry, do you know who the Taoist priest in front of you is? This is Sun Simiao, the number one genius doctor in the Tang Dynasty. Do you think you can cure your intestinal abscess?"

People tend to collapse when they are sick, mostly not because of the patient themselves, but because of lack of self-confidence, and they have given up in their hearts.

Borrowing the name of a miracle doctor, the effect was indeed very good. Wang Xuance's eyes immediately burst into a strong desire to survive.

Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Yang Fan continued:

"After I discussed with Dr. Sun, there are two ways to treat it. One is Dr. Sun prescribes a prescription, which can temporarily control your intestinal abscess, but it may recur again in the future, or even more serious. The other is to remove the suppurated intestinal abscess by surgery, which is just a certain risk. This method will not recur again in the future. You can choose any one."

As a relatively versatile doctor, Sun Simiao not only has unique insights in internal medicine, but also has research on pediatrics, gynecology, and surgery, which is also the reason why Yang Fan dares to say about the operation.

Although he himself doesn't know how to have surgery, Sun Simiao understands it.

This kind of surgery is extremely risky. As long as the wound is not infected, the success rate can reach more than 98%.

For this talent, he can redeem some anti-inflammatory and other items in the system to use it.

Wang Xuance is indeed a person with a long-term vision. After thinking for a while, he directly decided to undergo surgery to solve the problem of intestinal abscess.

The next morning.

"My friend, my scalpel was roasted on fire as you said, and disinfected with the alcohol you said."

"My friend, the clean silk cloth is ready. You have already let the servants boil it in boiling water as required."

Anesthetics and hemostatic drugs are also ready, but what is the effect of this needle and thread?

Sun Simiao was in a bad mood and said the pre-operative preparations as if he was a report. When he saw something that he didn't know the purpose, he raised his doubts.
To be continued...
