Early the next morning, bursts of screams could be heard from the Baoantan medicine shop.
"ah!"
"Why are you howling? We haven't broken up yet."
Li Ang sat behind the table and looked at the patient in front of him helplessly.
Just as it was announced yesterday at the door of the Pastoral Supervision Department, today is the day when the Security Hall reopens. There is a tilted wooden sign at the door. There is paper attached to the sign, which reads, "Only treats bone injuries. The consultation fee is 20 yuan.
The words "medicinal materials are not included".
There are two main reasons why Li Ang chose orthopedic injuries as Bao Bao Tang’s only business project on the first day.
First, without antibiotics and clean and hygienic medical facilities, even if you use a scalpel to cut an abscess, there is a risk of death, let alone disemboweling the patient, cutting the appendix, etc.
Only small fractures that can be solved through reduction without much surgery can ensure the success rate and survival rate as much as possible.
Of course, "minor" fractures are only relatively speaking. At least the patients sitting on the stools waiting in line turned pale as they listened to the clicking sounds one after another.
"Turn sideways, put your hands on the table, and don't look at me."
Li Ang asked the patient to sit down sideways and asked gently: "What's your last name?"
Where do you live?
What is your birth year and month?
Were there any marriages in the family?
Do you have any opinions or suggestions on how Zhenzhou City will allocate three-year rice producer subsidy funds to carry out the first phase of the special plan to encourage farmers and mulberry farmers to develop local characteristic agriculture?”
"Doctor, my last name is Fu!"
Just as the patient was about to answer, Li Ang pinched his slightly deformed left index finger and used force on his hand to pull, pull and push.
There was a click, and the index finger of the patient's left hand returned to its original position, while the patient himself, a tall and thick man, pinched his wrist and screamed in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts."
"Okay, that's fine. Don't move this finger for a month, don't lift heavy objects, don't pull, don't scrub hard, don't use this finger to pick your nose, and it's best not to drink...
If it is not enough, you can buy some bone injury prescriptions made from Akebia, Citrus aurantium, Magnolia officinalis and other medicinal materials.
It is available in our store, priced at 70 cents per pack. Of course, you can also go to other pharmacies to buy it, and the price is basically the same.
If the recovery goes well, you can go home and introduce our security hall to your seven aunts and eight aunts. The price is fair and the children are honest.
If I can get a few more people to come over, I will charge you 20% less for coming to see a doctor in the future."
Li Ang casually spoke of the doctor's instructions and glanced at the security hall, which was much busier than before.
There are three rows of stools beside the wall of the drug store, like a private clinic in another world. Sitting on the stools are the patients who came to see the doctor today, and they are basically all tall and thick-set men.
This is the second reason why the two chose to start with a bone injury - Zhenzhou Pier.
Zhenzhou City is one of the key nodes in the north-south water transportation system of Yu State. There are thousands of workers in the city who depend on the inland river docks for their livelihood.
Boatman, laborer, tracker, cart puller, carriage driver, someone who carries goods.
The large number of laborers will inevitably cause production accidents, and every once in a while someone will be injured on the Zhenzhou pier.
Falls, falls, smashes, fight injuries, and most commonly, work-related fractures.
‘If there is no surgery to fix the fracture and the body relies on its own recovery, there will generally be three situations.
1. It heals on its own without affecting production and life, and you can even perform heavy physical activities as before.
Second, after the dislocation has healed, there is no problem in daily life, but it can be seen in appearance, and it will be inconvenient to perform heavy physical activities in the future - it will cause pain or severe pain.
Third, it is difficult to heal. The fracture is too complete, causing the body to be unable to heal itself, resulting in internal bleeding and osteomyelitis. Without amputation technology, it can be said that death is inevitable.’
Li Ang thought silently, picked up the pure wine on the table, put it on the palm of his hand, and scrubbed it vigorously.
There are two types of fracture healing in medicine. One is anatomical reduction, which means that the deformity and displacement of the fracture are completely corrected and the normal anatomical relationship of the bone is restored.
The other is functional reset, which only meets the basic functions.
Self-healing corresponds to anatomical reduction, and dislocation healing corresponds to functional reduction. However, in this era, more fracture patients are still unable to heal themselves and can only wait silently to die.
These people in the security hall now probably don't even know that they are already among the lucky few.
Li Ang shook his head, threw away the messy thoughts, and waved for the next patient to come forward.
The new patient is not a dock worker. He looks lean, wearing a gray shirt, and looks... slightly familiar.
Li Ang frowned slightly and tried to recall something in the ocean of memory, "Are you... the storyteller from Baolai Restaurant in the east of the city? Your surname is Luo?"
"it's me."
The storyteller was a little embarrassed and said, "Hey, my middle finger was broken a few months ago. Although it's healed, it still hurts when I touch it. Please take a look, little man."
"It's easy to say. When I was a child, I went to Baolai Restaurant to listen to you lecture. The one that impressed me the most was the Three Kingdoms."
Li Ang smiled and squeezed the opponent's injured hand. The storyteller's face was full of fear, his palms were shaking slightly, his calves were shaking, and he stammered: "Well... Mr. Young Master, will it hurt to set the bone?"
, I saw them all screaming so miserably.
Is there any way to cure it without pain?
If it really hurts, I won’t treat it, and that’s fine.”
Li Ang said with a smile: "They call it pain, but it's actually just psychological effects, it's not that painful.
When I was bored, I would often dislocate myself, twice a day, and it was so much fun.
If you are really scared, sir, you might as well give a speech here live."
"Telling a book here? Okay... Then let's talk about the victory over Master Qin when a stranger is captured, and how Wei Feng identifies a stranger..."
"ha!"
Li Ang suddenly shouted loudly, startling the storyteller and the patients waiting on stools by the wall.
"alright."
Li Ang released the palm he had connected during the burst of drinking and said calmly: "Twenty cents for Chenghui."
"This, ah, hiss..."
The storyteller looked at the connected fingers and grinned in pain. He jumped up and took out two ten copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table. He said in a somewhat resentful tone: "Young man, you just do whatever you want.
No notice was given.”
"Mr. Luo, when you used to tell stories in restaurants, didn't you always stop when you wanted to and just break it down next time?"
Li Ang said calmly, "An unexpected ecstasy, how wonderful."
"laugh--"
The storyteller frowned angrily, but the patients waiting in line laughed.
Li Ang glanced there, his eyes lingered on a young man, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The young man wore a simple green shirt, a futou, and long boots. There were copper rings on the belt around his waist, and there were belts hanging from the rings, which were tied with sachets, money bags, and jade pendants.
And on his waist, there was a sword hanging.
The Yu State allowed ordinary people to carry swords and weapons, and bows and arrows were not allowed among the people. Only crossbows and metal armor were prohibited. Many scholars liked to carry expensive swords to show their status.
However, the sword carried by the young man was different from ordinary swords - the sword's frame was thin and narrow, and the hilt also appeared long and narrow, making it obviously difficult to hold.
The two looked at each other, and Li Ang raised his hand and said, "Mr. Sir, are you here to see a doctor too? Today, Baoan Tang only sees orthopedics and traumatology, not other diseases."
"I?"
The young man shook his head and said, "I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sound of vomiting coming from outside the door.
I saw two men, with a sweaty man carrying a strong man, rushing into the security hall, pushing away the storyteller who was blocking the front, and kept shouting: "Doctor, doctor! Look at my big brother."
!”
"what happened."
Li Ang frowned, stood up from behind the table, and walked forward.
I saw the man who was helped in. There were still traces of vomiting on his chest and clothes, his face was red, and he was still conscious.
"Hel him sit down."
Now is not the time to emphasize that only bone injuries should be treated. Li Ang asked two family members to put the patient on a stool and asked: "What's going on? What disease does he have?"
"Water, water dysentery."
The two family members were out of breath from running just now, and their words were a little garbled. It took Li Ang a lot of effort to understand what they meant.
The patient's surname is Sha and his given name is De, and he is the owner of a river cargo ship.
A few days ago, Shad returned from the southern Zhou Kingdom carrying goods. As soon as he delivered the goods to the owner, he fell ill, suffering from fever, dizziness, diarrhea, and vomiting.
At first, the family thought he had "water dysentery", which is a digestive system disease. However, after taking medicine for several days, it still failed to improve. Instead, the condition worsened. Until an hour ago, the vomiting symptoms worsened, and he had to move to see a doctor.
"Diarrhea and vomiting?"
Li Ang frowned, moved the table away, poured a bunch of pure wine into his hand, and examined Shad.
There is no abnormality in the head, chest and abdomen, but there is a mass in the leg.
Li Ang squatted on the ground, his heart moved, and he shouted loudly: "Cui Qiao, bring me the knife."
"ah?"
Chai Cuiqiao was stunned on the spot and had not yet reacted.
The young man standing in the corner stepped forward, drew out his sword, and without any nonsense, handed it out with his backhand, "Here."
Li Ang raised his head and glanced at him. Without saying anything, he picked up his sword and cut Shade's trouser leg.
Tear.
The fabric of the trouser legs was cut open, and the Schad family members who were watching, as well as other customers in the security hall, all screamed in surprise.
Shad's left leg was covered with cord-like indurations, lumps, blisters, and pustules. It looked ugly, like... swollen and diseased pork.
"Are you having blisters?"
The moment Li Ang saw the rope-like knot, an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He took a deep breath, poured a handful of pure wine, held the sword hilt steady, and very gently cut the wound on Shad's leg.
The biggest blister.
呲——
A spectacular yellow liquid flows out of the bubbles,
However, what is even more terrifying is that in the festering hole under the bubble, there is a white, slender worm, wriggling wantonly.
"Parasite..."
Li Ang's breathing was slightly suffocated, one of the most serious and fatal diseases in this era.
He stood up and shook his head at the patient's family.
