Chapter 472: Doctor Shen (2)
Doctor Shen asked her again: “If it is you, how should you treat it?”
Bai Zhi replied: “First clean up the wound, then close the skin that was cut by the sword. Keep the wound clean after suture, wipe it with cooked wine every morning and evening. No dressing is needed. The suture can be removed after 7 days, the wound is healed by then.”
Suture the cut flesh without applying medicine? He had never heard of such treatment.
In his opinion, this kind of wound should be covered with the best trauma medicine to prevent infection and rotting of the flesh. The dressing should be changed once a day. This kind of treatment was very common. He has been a doctor decade but never heard of this method called suturing.
It seems that he needs to open his eyes today.
Doctor Shen said: “It sounds good, then I will entrust this patient to you. There is another person with the same case. I will my method to treat him. Let’s see which method is more effective.”
Bai Zhi chuckled: “There is no problem, but how will we judge the winner? What will happen if you win? What will happen if you lose?”
Doctor Shen’s serious face finally showed a slight smile: “That’s right. Since we will compete, naturally we need to add a bit of spice, otherwise, what’s the sense of competing, right?”
The more Doctor Shen looked at the boy in front of him, the more he gets interested in him. He asked with a smile: “Well, what do you want?”
Bai Zhi’s lips curved into a smile, as she thought, Doctor Shen was really a good person. Knowing that she has another purpose, he simply gave her a chance.
Bai Zhi didn’t try to be polite and directly replied: “If I win, let me stay and be your assistant.” She was very worried that she couldn’t stay. This was her only opportunity.
Doctor Shen asked with a smile: “Well, what if you lose?”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “If I lose, I will listen to you!”
Doctor Shen nodded and looked at the boy with interest, he said with approval: “You seem very sure.”
Of course, she is. This kind of injury was only a pediatric case for her.
“I can’t say 10%, I can only say less than 90% success rate.” If she added more, she’s afraid that he will think that she’s very proud.
Doctor Shen was happy, so he just waved his hand: “Okay, stop talking nonsense, let’s get started. There are so many injured here. And there will be more coming later. You won’t be able to have time to even grit your teeth here.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and went out of the camp. She took her bag in the carriage and pulled out the suture and cotton balls with alcohol for disinfection.
When she was cleaning the wound, the young soldier, who never utter a word couldn’t help but scream. He felt like this treatment was like rubbing salt on his wound.
Doctor Shen also started cleaning the wound of his patient with hot water. So naturally, it was not as painful as using alcohol.
Doctor Shen teased the boy: “Don’t hurt the patient before you suture his wound.”
Bai Zhi put down the alcohol cotton ball and then smiled, “I’m not, if he can’t stand this pain, he would have died as soon as his belly was cut.”
While talking, the suture had pierced the flesh of the young soldier. When the needle punctured his flesh, he didn’t find it painful, what’s painful for him was when the long thread was being pulled slowly… …
Doctor Shen put down the work in his hand, got up, and stand behind Bai Zhi. He watched her skillfully suturing the bloody wound as if she was only stitching a clothe. She looked like his mother, who was sitting under the oil lamp, stitching his tattered clothes.
After a while, the exposed red meat disappeared, leaving only a trace that looked like a centipede.
