Chapter 16: Dressing Change
After walking for a long time, passing by a few towns, they finally arrived in the county, entered the city gate, Sheng Rong breathed a sigh of relief, he really felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, his body was screaming for pain, his bones were about to fall apart, and his whole body was sore.
Jiang Xuan took the ox cart to the car dealership for storage, gave ten cents, settled the ox cart, and a few people went to the hospital first, this medicine center is nearby, a few steps away, Jiang Xuan didn't go in, he didn't like the taste in the hospital, so the four of them were divided into two batches, Jiang Xuan and Sheng Rong bought things near the door, Jiang Yuanyuan and Jiang Qian went to the hospital to change medicines.
There were a lot of people at the entrance of the medical hall, and they lined up for a while before entering, and after understanding the basic situation, a medical woman came to take them to the back to change the dressing, and walked to the back room with the prescription, Jiang Yuanyuan was taken to a small bed, she sat down nervously, and put her injured leg on the bed.
"Take off this half of your pants. Then place your feet on it. The medicine woman walked in and pulled up the cloth around her.
Jiang Yuanyuan carefully took off her pants and put her feet on a stool next to her.
"How long has it been hurt?" The doctor squatted beside the bed and asked.
"Forty days, it seems." Jiang Yuanyuan said, "Recently, my legs have always been a little uncomfortable, very numb, and sometimes there is a little pain at night. ”
"It's the wound that's getting flesh." As the doctor said, her hands and feet quickly untied the outer layer of bandages, the bandages were untied, and the wooden planks that bound her feet were also loosened, and the pain suddenly hit, and Jiang Yuanyuan, who was in pain, gasped.
The medicine woman quickly held Jiang Yuanyuan's knees, she carefully caught the two wooden boards, and slowly unwrapped the blood-soaked bandage inside.
After removing the bandage, only the two pieces of gauze covered by the wound remained, and looking at the red-dyed gauze, the doctor woman exhaled.
"It will hurt a little to remove the gauze later, you must not move." The doctor girl said, she put down Jiang Yuanyuan's leg and pinched her earlobe.
"The wound is not healing very well." The medicine woman said, gently pinched the corner of the gauze, and as soon as she opened it, she saw the inside of the flesh and blood, the gauze and the wound were glued together, and she picked it up and tore the wound.
"Hmm......" Jiang Yuanyuan's face turned white, she exhaled slowly, adjusted her breath, when the wooden board clamped her legs, the flesh on the legs was tightened, blocking the circulation of blood, except for some pain at the beginning, there was no feeling in the back, but when the plank was disassembled, this pain all surged up at once, stimulating the brain, and the pain was a little convulsive.
"I'm going to lift it." The doctor girl said that she began to lift it up little by little, and Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously wanted to withdraw her leg in pain, but she held back, and she was relieved until the gauze was taken off.
"Bear with me, there's still gauze." The medicine woman took a bottle from her waist, she shook it, there was stagnant water, soaked the gauze with water, and then covered the gauze on Jiang Yuanyuan's wound, the wound was a little cool and a little stinging.
The gauze in the back is not as sticky as the one, so it doesn't hurt as much as the one in the front.
When the two gauze were removed, the medicine woman poured the water directly on the wound, which was yellow, slightly cool, and smelled a little bit of medicine, and the water washed over her wound and shed some reddish water.
"It's sewn with us, right?" The doctor asked.
"Well, the doctor said to come and change the medicine every eight to ten days."
"The recovery of the wound is not very good, this period of time to grow meat, the repair period is more critical, because the injury to the side of the bone, if the flesh is not well maintained, the bone will be misplaced in the future, and it must not be wet or bumpy too much, it is best to lie on the bed, and the time for each activity can not exceed a quarter of an hour, your wound has not recovered well because you have moved too much." As she spoke, the doctor took the needle with her hands and feet, "I'll help you remove the thread later, it will be a little painful, you have to hold back, you can't move." ”
"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, the sweat on her forehead had already stained her hair.
"Didn't your family come with you?"
"They... When she ......asked outside, the medical woman was already starting to remove the stitches, Jiang Yuanyuan exhaled, her hand tightly tugged at the sheets under her, and her sore temples began to twitch.
"Why don't you ask your family to accompany you?"
"And ......"
"They have other things." Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the thread pulled out, exhaled a long breath, and the medicine woman quickly sprinkled some medicinal powder to stop the bleeding.
"Just take it a little longer." The doctor said, she didn't look for other topics, and continued to dismantle.
"That's it!" The doctor sprinkled Jiang Yuanyuan with medicinal powder, she clapped her hands and took out her needle bag, "If you want to prick the needle to activate blood and dissolve stasis, you lie down first, and you have to wait for a while when it is done, and I will cover you with a blanket later." ”
"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan lay down, and her hand couldn't help twitching twice.
The doctor woman pricked a lot of needles in Jiang Yuanyuan's legs, and after finishing them, she took a very light blanket and gently put it on Jiang Yuanyuan's legs to cover the needles.
"I'll go out first, just shout if there's something." The medicine woman said and left.
The curtain was pulled up, Jiang Yuanyuan closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, which was painful.
Every time I change the dressing, it hurts so much, and after the pain, I have to go home for three or five days to feel uncomfortable, and finally I get better, and I have to change the dressing again.
This needle has to be pricked every time, because the wooden board is fixed too tightly, although it can relieve pain, but it makes the blood blocked, so every time you have to hold these needles for a quarter of an hour, so that the blood in the legs flows faster, and the blood is invigorated and stasis.
Every time like this, Jiang Yuanyuan will be very uncomfortable.
When the blood passed, her pain was even deeper, this kind of pain, it hurt to the bones, her head hurt a little dizzy, her temples twitched one by one, and as time went on, the pain became deeper and deeper, making her feel so painful that she wanted to grab something and smash herself.
Her legs were getting hotter and hotter, and Jiang Yuanyuan exhaled blindfolded.
"Are you better?" A quarter of an hour later, the medical woman walked in and lifted the blanket on Jiang Yuanyuan's lap.
Half of her legs began to redden, and she opened her acupuncture bag and took out a piece of cloth.
She began to draw the needle, and with each needle, she wiped it carefully and put it back, and the needle on her leg was removed, and the doctor began the next step.
Use a small brush to sweep the powder off the wound, and then sprinkle another turmeric powder, this powder is very painful, as soon as it is sprinkled on the leg, Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously twitched her leg, this pump, made her snort in pain.
"It's strong, it's going to be fine right away, hold on a little longer." The healer said, covering the wound with a layer of gauze, and then began to tie it around her legs with gauze.
"Because it began to grow meat, so this plank can't be tied too tightly, this time may be a little difficult, if you want, I will prescribe some medicine for you, it is painkiller, if you can't help it, drink some medicine, it can make you more comfortable, and then there is another blood-invigorating medicine, drink it every morning and evening, or what I just said, get out of bed less and move less, try to stay in bed for more time, so that the legs will recover better, and then come over in eight to ten days to change the medicine."
"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan's voice was a little hoarse, she watched the doctor girl tie the plank to herself, this time the plank was indeed not as tight as the previous few times, and the pain was still there.
After everything was done, Jiang Yuanyuan put on her pants and stood up with a cane, which was another numbing pain, accompanied by dizziness in the brain.
"How much does it cost?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked.
"One thousand, three or four hundred." The doctor said, "If you don't have enough money, you can not prescribe painkillers." ”
"Then I won't prescribe the painkiller." Jiang Yuanyuan said that she didn't want to prescribe this medicine in her selfish heart, first, to save money, and secondly, because she didn't want to drink these medicines, she had drunk this medicine at the beginning, and it was more than a little unpleasant, so it was not necessary, she didn't want to drink it.
"Okay." The doctor took out a piece of paper and wrote on the table, and after writing, she handed the paper to Jiang Yuanyuan, "Take the paper and go to the counter in front of you to pay for the medicine, and just show the note to the doorman when you go out." ”
"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan took the note, and the doctor helped her to the front yard before leaving, walked to the front desk, handed over the silver, and the doctor grabbed the medicine, she took the medicine and the money and counted it, and left after making sure there was no problem.
When he walked to the door, he showed the stamped prescription paper to the doorman before letting it out.
Jiang Qian has been cured a long time ago, she has been waiting outside the door for a long time, the wound on her face is not big, this time the medicine is changed, there is no need to change the dressing again, the gauze on her face has been removed, and she still has the ointment prescribed by the doctor in her hand, which is to remove scars.
"Yuanyuan, you can be regarded as coming out." Jiang Qian saw Jiang Yuanyuan come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, Jiang Yuanyuan leaned on Jiang Qian's body a little weakly.
"What's the matter? His face turned white. Jiang Qian wiped Jiang Yuanyuan's face with her sleeve distressedly, "Isn't it painful, let's find a place to sit up first, and I'll buy you some sugar water." ”
"What about my brother and Sheng Rong?" Jiang Yuanyuan nodded and asked.
"Your brother and he went to sell crabs, they said they would come here to find us later, let's go to the hotel opposite and sit down and rest for a while, you don't look very good." Jiang Qian said, she led Jiang Yuanyuan to a nearby hotel and sat down.
