Chapter 294 The explanation of the doctor and the witch, the witch and the Tao
Qin Fan agreed to Ozawa Oriji as his deputy because Ozawa Oriji was very knowledgeable about Western medicine and Chinese medicine.
Only when people are young and energetic can they persist in completing complex neurovascular surgeries.
What's more, to perform this kind of surgery, you must also be familiar with the meridians, blood vessels, and nerves of the human body.
At this time, Ma Deshui's calf swelled like a balloon due to severe blood bruising and turned into a dark purple color.
Only the doctor was left in the ward, and everyone else was evacuated.
Qin Fan was the surgeon. He took a pack of silver needles and performed acupuncture anesthesia first.
Ozawa used scissors to cut off Ma Deshui's pants.
Afterwards, Qin Fan added needles to Ma Deshui's thigh meridians to control the flow of blood.
He mobilized the power of merit in his body to his eyes, like a high-precision X-ray machine.
Picking up the scalpel, he calmly cut it across his calf.
Black blood spurted out, and Ozawa Oriji and Qin Fan quickly began to remove the bone fragments from the muscles.
Some of those bones are only the size of a fingernail, so it is very troublesome to remove them.
Then, Qin Fan placed the shaped willow bone between the two sections of broken bone to replace the removed bone.
Then sprinkle azurite powder on the muscle tissue to promote bone and muscle growth.
Oriji Ozawa helped complete the repair surgery of the nerves and blood vessels around the bones.
Time passed by, and with the tacit cooperation of the two of them, it took four or five hours.
Zhu Zhengyuan, Qu Wenxuan, and Liu Weiqi acted as nurses throughout the process.
Finally, the muscle suturing operation is performed, blood-retaining ointment is applied to the joint area, and then a wooden board is clamped to fix it.
No one spoke during the entire operation, only the sounds of breathing and surgical instruments.
After opening the ward, Ma Fangfei stood up immediately.
"How's it going, Mr. Qin?" she asked anxiously.
"Very smooth!" Qin Fan nodded, "Let your father sleep a little longer."
"Hmm~"
Ma Fangfei and her mother Tian Meiru quickly pushed Ma Deshui to another ward.
An Xiaoxing and the others cleaned up things after surgery.
Qin Fan and Ozawa Oriji were sitting on the sofa in the hall and couldn't help but smile at each other.
This was the second time the two had surgery together, and they cooperated very well.
"Mr. Qin, can you explain to us why willow wood can be used to set bones?" Zhu Zhengyuan asked.
He watched the whole process almost intently, even remembering Qin Fan's every move.
Although it is not that easy to learn, after going down, he has to record and study it.
Now that the operation was completed, he couldn't wait to clear up his doubts.
Qin Fan looked at Zhu Zhengyuan, Qu Wenxuan, Liu Weiqi and Ozawa Oriji.
He took the water from Zhao Cang and took a sip.
"Because the tissue fibers of willow wood are very similar to the structure of trabecular bone, they can guide the trabecular bone to grow again."
"Willow bone can function as a modern medical steel plate, and will gradually calcify and eventually become part of the human skeleton."
"Actually, there is nothing profound about setting willow bones. The key lies in the prescription decoction in the later stage."
At this point, he stopped and hesitated.
"Oh, why?" Qu Wenxuan asked.
"Is it because of the body's rejection reaction?" Ozawa Oriji said.
Qin Fan nodded appreciatively, "Yes, no matter what organ is transplanted, there will be rejection."
"Using willow bone grafting will also encounter this problem, so our final prescription is the key."
"Not only should we make it non-repellent, but we should also accelerate the calcification and formation of willow wood." Qin Fan said.
"Mr. Qin, how long does it usually take to heal?" Liu Weiqi asked.
"Bone healing occurs within three weeks, so add natural copper to the prescription."
"Copper helps in the recovery, growth and connection of bones. It can also dissipate blood stasis, relieve pain, and strengthen bones and tendons."
It was then that everyone suddenly realized that they were all famous medical experts. After a little thought, they understood the key points.
However, it is obviously impossible to master this medical skill just by observing it.
Qin Fan has no actual operation, but he comes from inheritance and has the assistance of clairvoyance.
Ozawa Oriji's heart moved, and he smiled, feeling very touched.
"Yes, modern medicine has long studied that natural copper can promote the proliferation of bone marrow itself as well as reticular cells and hemoglobin in the blood, helping to accelerate the healing of the backbone."
"Willow bone setting was only seen in legends and stories in the past, but now that Mr. Qin has said it, it is actually very scientific when studied and explored."
"In the eyes of Western medicine, it is completely incomprehensible, unscientific, and even contains a kind of witchcraft."
After hearing this, Qin Fan took a piece of paper and wrote down the traditional Chinese character "medical" and "medical".
Pushing it in front of Ozawa Oriji, he asked with a smile: "Ozawa, do you know these two words?"
"I know, they are all studying medicine, which is the traditional Chinese character for medical." Ozawa said.
He was a little confused and didn't know what Qin Fan meant when he wrote these two traditional Chinese characters.
"There is a witch character under the first traditional Chinese character for medicine. Do you know why?" Qin Fan asked.
"have no idea."
Ozawa Oriji shook his head simply, picked up the cup in his hand and took a sip of water.
Qin Fan smiled and continued to explain: "This starts with the Chinese shaman culture."
"Witch is a hieroglyphic character, which in Oracle is just like the props used by ancient witches."
He once again took up the pen and wrote down the pictograms of the witch characters. Everyone present leaned over to watch, and they all found it very interesting.
Even An Xiaoxing, Zhao Cang, Xiao Wen and others who had finished cleaning listened with great interest.
Qin Fan said: "The explanation for this in "Shuowen Jiezi" is: "Witch means Zhu. A woman can do invisible things and can enchant gods by dancing."
"In simple vernacular, witchcraft is to pray for blessings through dance and form an aura to make diseases disappear."
"In ancient times, there was a lot of superstition when doctors and witches were not distinguished."
"Objectively speaking, many medical practices at that time were themselves witchcraft."
"An old saying goes that witches and doctors have the same origin. In ancient times, witches were doctors."
"Witches use spells to cast spells on spirits to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and they also use medicinal herbs to treat people's illnesses."
"In the past, medicine was the traditional Chinese medical character Congwu. After the Zhou Dynasty, people gradually abandoned witch doctors, so that more traditional Chinese medical characters Congyou were retained."
"Witches and temples also existed in ancient Europe, and they would cure diseases through prayer."
"In an environment with limited materials, people uniformly regard witchcraft as an important means of treatment."
"Europe once had a collective infectious disease. For this disease, relief activities were mostly completed by priests."
"They would put the sick person in the middle of the open space, and there would be people wearing religious uniforms and masks holding torches in their hands."
"Dancing around the patient lying on the ground, chanting incantations, in the hope of eliminating the disaster of the disease."
He paused and took another sip of water.
"So, witchcraft is another form of medicine in the past. It exists in both East and West and cannot be erased."
Ozawa Oriji heard this and patted his forehead, "I didn't expect that traditional Chinese medical characters have such a profound meaning."
"Mr. Qin, since medicine and witchcraft have such a close relationship, but Chinese medicine developed from Taoist medicine, what is the relationship between Taoism and witchcraft?"
Ozawa Oriji continued to ask questions.
Qin Fan burst out laughing and cleared his throat.
"This is a bit far to go. I won't be able to finish it in a few days and nights, but I can briefly say it."
“The earliest record of witchcraft is in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.”
"At that time, witches did not have a unified organization. They were scattered small groups, each recruiting disciples. What they mainly did was sacrifice and worship gods."
"Later it developed into the establishment of temples. In ancient times, it was called witchcraft and also called temple blessing. It has been continued by Taoism. The blessing technique that was later spread is a kind of witchcraft culture."
"It was the earliest religious model in ancient times and laid an important social and cultural foundation for the later emergence of Taoism."
"Even many rituals, cultural contents, myths and legends have been passed down to Taoism."
"For example, some of the gods we are familiar with, such as Nuwa, Zhu Rong, Gonggong, Fuxi, etc., have all been incorporated into Taoism, and they also have an important identity as great witches."
"Oh~ So that's it. If you don't have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, you really can't understand it."
Only then did Ozawa Oriji straighten out the relationship.
Everyone felt like they were listening to a lecture. They didn't find it boring at all, but rather lively and interesting.
Qin Fan paused and brought the topic back to the topic again.
"So, every word in Chinese characters has a special meaning." Qin Fan said.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Strictly speaking, Chinese medicine is not just about treating illnesses and saving lives, but is an invisible science of energy."
"Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to curative effect, but these two words, which are originally very important, often appear pale and weak."
"Because traditional Chinese medicine cannot be quantified like Western medicine, let alone data."
"For example, the willow bone setting technique was actually mastered by the ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine thousands of years ago."
"But few can tell why they do it and what its purpose is."
"As Ozawa began to say, modern medicine has only discovered that natural copper can promote the proliferation of bone marrow itself as well as reticular cells and hemoglobin in the blood, helping to accelerate the healing of the bone."
"But how did Chinese medicine practitioners realize this thousands of years ago?"
"At that time, there was no modern science to support it, let alone microscopes and scientific instruments to analyze it."
Yes, Qin Fan's question touches on a key point.
Everyone had their own thoughts and digested Qin Fan's words.
Ozawa Oriji thought: "Since the willow bone setting is real, does it also mean that other secrets also exist?"
At this time, Ma Fangfei came out of the ward and asked a very concerned question.
"Mr. Qin, after my dad recovers, will there be any sequelae?"
