After listening to what Qin Hui said, Empress Wu also hesitated.

Li Gang coughed and said, "Queen Mother, Empress, since all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have tried their best, why don't you listen to the emperor's meaning?" If the emperor agrees to open the knife, then it will be opened; If the emperor disagrees, then let's continue to study to find out if there is a better prescription? ”

Except for the Queen Mother and Qin Hui, everyone else nodded, Li Gang's proposal was very good.

The colleagues of the Tai Hospital are even more in favor, if the emperor agrees to the operation, even if there are adverse consequences, it has nothing to do with him.

Empress Wu knelt beside the bed, close to Zhao Gou's ear, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, have you heard everyone's opinions?" Do you agree? ”

Although Zhao Gou had been fighting in pain, his consciousness was still quite clear, and he nodded lightly.

"The emperor agreed." Empress Wu told everyone.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Qu Ping and said, "We must not fail!" ”

Qu Ping wanted to tell her that everyone was equal in life and death, but because the other party was the queen mother and a family member, it was difficult to say so. Qu Ping nodded, and then instructed Tang Shenwei to prepare hemp boiling powder, silver knives, silver scissors, water basins, small gauze, and silk and embroidery needles for stitching, all of which should be boiled in boiling water for a third of the tea, and then prepared cold boiled water and strong wine for later use.

The imperial doctors had an order, and they didn't dare to delay for half a second, and they went to prepare.

Qu Ping went over to appease Zhao Gou and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay, the minister won't miss it." ”

Zhao wanted to laugh, but he grinned in pain and couldn't laugh, he said, "The nightmare is coming true." ”

With a stick of incense, the imperial doctors had already prepared all the required items.

Qu Ping instructed: "Imperial Doctor Tang and the head of the hospital will be my assistants, and everyone else will go out, close the doors and windows tightly, and can't get into the wind!" ”

The rest of the imperial physicians, the chamberlain, Li Gang and the six Shangshu went out one after another, while the chamberlain closed the windows.

The queen mother didn't move, and the queen and the concubine didn't dare to leave.

Qu Ping said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, please." ”

"Hongu is going out too?" The Queen Mother asked rhetorically.

"There is no room for sloppiness in surgery, and you can't be disturbed in the middle of the operation. If the Queen Mother wants to make the operation smoother, please go out early and wait. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she reluctantly took the lead in going out.

Empress Wu said, "Lord Wang, please." After speaking, he went out with all the concubines and closed the door.

"Let's get started!" Qu Ping instructed the head and deputy head of the hospital.

The head of the hospital said, "What are we going to do?" ”

Qu Ping said: "The head of the hospital is troublesome to help me hold the lamp, and Dr. Tang helps me deliver things." ”

The two comprehended, the hospital first fed the emperor hemp boiling powder, and after the medicine worked, they followed Qu Ping's request to lie down on the emperor on the bed, untied the emperor's clothes, and exposed his abdomen.

Qu Ping took Tang Shenwei to wash his hands with warm boiled water, dried his hands with a towel steamed in boiling water, and told Tang Shenwei: "After washing your hands, except for the things that have been boiled in boiling water before, other contaminated items cannot be touched, otherwise there will be a risk of infection." ”

Tang Shenwei didn't understand it either, so he nodded and said yes.

Qu Ping remembered something again, he didn't bring a mask yet! So he asked the head of the hospital to help the two of them cover their mouths and noses with triangular scarves to prevent saliva from accidentally entering the wound.

Qu Ping closed his eyes and recalled the operation process, then opened his eyes and said, "Let's start!" ”

Qu Ping first used gauze dipped in strong wine to detoxify Zhao Gou's stomach on a large scale, and then located the inner and outer third of the line between the umbilicus and the iliac spine, pressed his left hand on the positioning point, stretched out his right hand, and asked Tang Shenwei to hand over the hidden knife.

The head of the academy and Tang Shenwei carefully remembered and studied on the side, thinking that they would also increase the exploration of human anatomy and surgery in the future. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo, the holy hand of surgery, scraped the bones for Guan Gong to heal, and even had to open the skull for Cao Cao.

Qu Ping held the knife and stared at the positioning point, his heart pounding. I haven't studied medicine at all, and now I have to practice medicine without a license for the current emperor, if I can't do it, it's a capital crime!

Hua Tuo is a surgical saint, and Qu Ping is at most a surgical expert.

Tang Shenwei saw that Qu Ping's hand holding the knife trembled a little, and shouted: "My lord, my lord......"

Qu Ping came back to his senses and strengthened his mind, anyway, it is a dead horse to be a live horse doctor, if he fails, it is a big deal to compensate the emperor for breaking into the west together! People can't die but birds are facing the sky, what are you afraid of? Besides, there doesn't seem to be any important nerves, blood vessels, and viscera here, as long as you start steadily and divide layer by layer, there should be no problem!

Qu Ping held a silver knife and made a five-centimeter incision in the surgical area, and the blood vessels on the belly were abundant, and a lot of blood came out at once.

The two heads of the hospital immediately panicked when they saw it.

Qu Ping calmed down at this time, he was born for the big scene, and Taishan collapsed without being surprised.

"Here comes gauze!"

Tang Shenwei hurriedly found the gauze and handed it over.

Qu Ping pressed the wound with a large amount of gauze and pressed it to stop the bleeding first. Qu Ping calmed down, estimated that it was almost there, took out the gauze, probed into the incision with his index finger, groped a little bit, confirmed that it had not reached the abdominal cavity, and borrowed scissors to divide it layer by layer.

Finally entered the abdominal cavity.

Qu Ping took a long sigh of relief and comforted himself: "It's almost there." ”

After entering the abdominal cavity, the next step is to face the subject and find the appendix.

The appendix is like a bat hanging from its intestines, but it is not in a constant downward position, but it may also be backward, forward, left, or right.

As a person who has not systematically studied anatomy, let alone modern medicine, Qu Ping is completely inferior to a surgical trainee at the moment. Once you enter the abdominal cavity and you don't find the appendix, you start panicking.

Time passed little by little, and Qu Ping had not yet touched the appendix. 110 eBooks

On the dragon couch, there was already a pool of blood.

The head of the courtyard saw that Qu Ping was sweating on his forehead, so he hurriedly helped him wipe the sweat carefully.

Tang Shen encouraged slightly: "Take your time." Since the appendix has one end that connects to the intestines, it will definitely not run to other places. ”

That being said, it's not easy to do.

Qu Ping thought to himself: "You can't make an incision, right?" Wouldn't that be a wasted effort! ”

After fumbling for a while, I finally touched a bulging piece of tissue, which was not the same as the surrounding intestines.

"Found it!" Qu Ping said excitedly.

The two heads of the courtyard also became excited and nervous.

Qu Ping first tied the proximal end of the appendix tightly with silk, and then cut the appendix with a "click" of scissors.

"Whew-" Qu Ping exhaled a long breath and threw the appendix in the basin, only to see that the appendix was the size of an index finger, and white pus flowed out of it.

The two heads of the courtyard looked at the appendix, happy and a little scared. There is such a disgusting thing in the human body!

After confirming that there were no major bleeding spots in the abdominal cavity, Qu Ping strung the embroidery needle with silk, folded the needle into an arc, used scissors as a needle holder to hold the needle, and began to suture layer by layer from the inside to the outside.

After about twenty minutes, Qu Ping finally finished stitching the last stitches, and he breathed a sigh of relief again. After disinfecting the skin of the surgical opening again with strong wine, it was covered with five layers of gauze, and a long gauze cloth was tied around Zhao Gou's stomach, and the wound was tightened, and it was finally completed.

Qu Ping reached the ground with his buttocks, and his heart could finally relax.

The head of the courtyard said, "Your Excellency has worked hard! ”

The surgery is done, and the next step is to see if you can get past the infection.

Qu Ping said: "The next task is still very arduous. To give the emperor heat-clearing, detoxification and blood-invigorating drugs to prevent infection, change the wound dressing every day, just like I just did, first disinfect with wine, and then cover it with boiled gauze. ”

Tang Shen said slightly: "Shall we change the dressing?" ”

"Of course! You're the doctors! Qu Ping added, "Maybe I have to go back to prison." ”

The emperor won't wake up for a while now, and if he wakes up, he still has an infection to overcome. Before the emperor is completely healed, Qu Ping, as the person who used the knife on the emperor, will definitely not be free.

Tang Shenwei asked again: "My lord, I remember that when I was in Helan Mountain, you taught me on-site first aid techniques, including wound dressing, wounded handling, chest compressions, manual insufflation, etc., and this time you said that you learned it from Westerners during the voyage." I don't believe it, you already know a lot of special medical knowledge, don't hide it, leave it to us! You can't use it anyway! ”

The head of the hospital was shocked: "Your Excellency has long been proficient in medicine!" ”

Qu Ping said bitterly: "I also want to teach you, but my stomach is already empty and there is no stock." ”

"Really?" Tang Shenwei didn't believe it.

"Of course, I'm not a doctor or a doctor."

"What is a doctor?" The head of the hospital asked.

Qu Ping said: "I made a mistake, I said the doctor. ”

"Oh."

"By the way," Qu Ping whispered, "The emperor's external and internal medical supplies must be done by yourself, and you must not let others interfere, so as not to secretly do things and make things out of nothing." ”

The two heads of the courtyard didn't dare to ask more, so they just nodded yes. The power conspiracies in the palace and in the court are better to stay away.

The operation has been completed, and Qu Ping has already explained to the two hospital heads, so he asked Tang Shenwei to open the door and tell everyone that the operation was successful.

Tang Shenwei opened the door, and the Queen Mother surrounded the harem and the seven important ministers of the court, looking at Tang Shenwei eagerly.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”

Tang Shenwei said: "The emperor is blessed with heaven, Lord Qu is rejuvenated, everything is going well." Everybody can come in. Tap it, the emperor hasn't woken up yet. ”

Everyone hurriedly went into the house to visit the emperor. At the moment, the emperor's effect of Ma Boiling Powder has not passed, and he is still asleep, but at least his expression is not painful, his breathing is even, and he should be fine.

The Queen Mother looked at the pool of blood on the bed, and her mother's love was overflowing again, and she thought in pieces: "Why did you still shed so much blood, the emperor was already very sick, and there was so much blood, and his body and bones could not stand it......"

Qu Ping said: "The queen mother can rest assured, the amount of blood on a normal person accounts for 20% of the weight of the body, and the emperor has more than 130 catties, at least 25 catties of blood, and this bit of blood is not even a slight blood loss." An old hen can make up for it, and it's more than enough. ”

Empress Dowager Wei said: "The emperor's blood, can it be shed casually?" ”

Empress Wu persuaded: "Queen Mother, Lord Qu has already taken out the internal lesions for the emperor, and the emperor will be cured soon, so don't blame him anymore." ”

"Bengu reproaches him? It's not all caused by him! He is to blame, forget it, he shouldn't have been, he shouldn't have affected the emperor! The more Empress Wu spoke, the more she went up.

In order to avoid embarrassment and let the Queen Mother calm down, Qu Ping had no choice but to say: "The criminal minister should go to the prison of the Criminal Department first and wait for the emperor to leave, and don't disturb the emperor's rest for the time being." ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Hmph! The book of the criminal department, this time you have to take care of this palace! ”

Qin Hui was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Weichen respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother!" Lord Qu, please, this official will personally send you back. ”

Qu Ping glanced at Qin Hui, who was a villain, and said in his heart: "Xiaoxiang, dare to talk to me like this." Wait for my salted fish to turn over, see how you die! ”

Qu Ping walked to the door, turned back to Tang Shenwei and said, "Imperial Doctor Tang, change the bloodstained sheets on the dragon couch." If the wound is oozing blood and the gauze is soaked, it should be replaced in time. If the emperor wakes up, tell him to be careful not to move, lest the wound burst. ”

Tang Shen nodded slightly.
