Chapter 58: Flesh Cutting Heals
After suturing, it can be more conducive to wound healing, but after implementation, the effect is the opposite......
I don't know how many ancient Chinese medicine doctors wanted to break their scalps, and I don't know why, but Wei Ming knew.
Among them, there may be reasons for insufficient debridement of the injury, but more often it comes from sutures.
Because of the lack of cognition, so the ancient sutures, what Lang Zhong did was often to clean the sutures used and use them after they felt clean, but this was far from enough!
Not to mention that even if it is washed with boiling water, it is difficult to kill all kinds of bacteria, but whether it is animal or biological sutures, there is a part of fat in its composition......
After these fats are in contact with the flesh and skin, they are very likely to cause cross-infection.
Therefore, any surgical suture must be degreased before it can be used.
With conventional degreasing methods, Wei Ming now has neither equipment nor various compounds, so there is no way at all.
Therefore, he can only use the soil method, add water with quicklime, boil the silk thread, and use the strong alkalinity in it to degreas......
Although this method cannot completely degrease the silk thread, it can also be degreased to the greatest extent, and if it is used as a surgical suture, it can barely be used.
In the middle of the night, the previously groggy wounded soldiers gradually woke up, and many of them began to wail heart-rending because of the severe pain......
That scene is simply unbearable.
But Wei Ming keenly noticed that many of the wounded soldiers were wailing at the same time, trembling and taking out something from their arms and swallowing it in their mouths, and then their wails quickly weakened, and they fell into a groggy state again.
Noticing Wei Ming's gaze, Zhang Xiaojing quickly got up, but in a moment, he found seven or eight dry and hard fruits the size of a baby's fist from the arms of these wounded, almost every one of them was covered with gnawed tooth marks!
"Poppy!"
Although he had never seen them with his own eyes, the moment he saw these things, Wei Ming still recognized exactly what these things were, and he was so excited that he almost screamed.
Although it is very clear psychologically, if you want these wounded soldiers to survive, the first thing is to debride and scrape off all the carrion in those wounds......
The pain of scraping a layer of flesh from the wound alive, just thinking about it, even Wei Ming himself couldn't help but feel creepy, let alone the wounded themselves!
It is also for this reason that compared to whether the Baibao Dan Pill formula that Lang Zhong estimated can be effective, Wei Ming is more worried about how many wounded and dead on the operating table will be during debridement!
But after seeing these dried poppy fruits, Wei Ming was relieved!
Because although this thing may be synonymous with opium, drugs, etc., in the eyes of human beings thousands of years later, almost all of them will be famous, so they ignore its use as a medicine!
But as a double doctor of geology and chemical engineering, Wei Ming is very aware of its miraculous effects in anesthesia and analgesia!
"Great!"
Looking at these poppy fruits, which were obviously not artificially taken, but naturally ripened and dried up, and the active ingredients in them were almost not lost, Wei Ming patted Zhang Xiaojing's shoulder excitedly and said: "I'll just say that they are so badly injured, it is impossible to survive until now without a special method, it turns out that it is because of this thing - with this thing, plus these means of mine, I dare to guarantee that at least half of these twenty-eight injured soldiers will survive!" ”
"What Xiao Lang said is true?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojing and other bad people trembled in excited voices: "If this is really the case, in the future, I am willing to die for Xiaolang at any time!" ”
"Some words are just in the bottom of your heart, but they are not beautiful when you say them!"
Wei Ming glared angrily and said: "Don't forget that this is Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most taboo thing is that there are people who form gangs and collude arbitrarily!" ”
In the early morning, there was already a strong smell of medicine wafting in the deserted house, that is, after several Langzhong discussed all night, they finally decided on seven or eight Baibao Dan pills that were most likely to work, and they were now boiling for later use.
The scalpel and forceps have also been made and sent over, and they have been carefully sharpened, so that the blade can easily break the hair.
The threads that had been boiled in quicklime for half the night had also been washed and soaked in boiling water.
"The scene will be very bloody later, if you are afraid, you can avoid it with them!" Wei Mingdao.
"With Xiaolang here, I'm not afraid!"
Yueru, who wore an apron like Wei Ming, said strongly.
"Alright then!"
Wei Ming smiled, and after burning his hands with boiling water, he said, "Bring it out!" ”
Zhang Xiaojing and the others were the first to carry Tong Kuan out, and according to Wei Ming's instructions, he poured Tong Kuan half a bowl of water boiled from poppy fruits with seeds.
Looking at Tong Kuan's terrifying wound, Wei Ming, who was holding the scalpel, couldn't help but tremble a little.
"If you don't give it to me, I'm the best at using knives!" Zhang Xiaojing said.
"Murderous hands, it's better not to use a knife to save people!"
Wei understood his eyes, and said in his heart that he would give you a knife and even cut the tendons of the blood vessels, so he still made a hair?
Eyed thought back to the scene when he was testing dangerous goods, and his hand gradually stabilized, and then the knife fell......
Ahh......hhh
The pig-like howl sounded piercingly, and Tong Kuan, who was originally groggy, also struggled violently, and couldn't hold it down!
"Pour him another half bowl of poppy water!"
After pouring another half bowl of poppy water, although Tong Kuan's struggle slowed down a little, as Wei Ming's knife fell, he was still twitching violently, obviously still in pain.
Several Lang Zhong, who were originally interested in wanting to wait and see Wei Ming's methods, had long since disappeared at this moment.
Either vomit outside the deserted house, or see a ghostly convulsion in a corner.
It was Zhang Xiaojing and the others who helped to hold Tong Kuan, who had already lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it again.
Because watching Wei Ming scrape the rotten flesh off Tong Kuan's flesh little by little, and cut it off, even for them, it was too terrifying......
Only Yueru, after going through the initial adaptation period, still stood by Wei Ming's side strongly, constantly wiping the rotten flesh in the wound with boiling water and squeezing out the water silk cotton under Wei Ming's instructions, and sucking up the bruises......
It took more than half an hour for Wei Ming to clean up the carrion in Tong Kuan's wound.
Because there was no hydrogen peroxide iodine wine or the like, Wei Ming could only use cool boiled water to thoroughly rinse the wound and then suture it.
The next work was taken over by several old men, who wrapped a thick layer of Baibaodan paste on the outside of the wound and closely observed the changes in Tong Kuan......
Like Wei Ming, he stepped up to carry out the same steps for the next wounded.
