Under the strong request of everyone, Bai Ling sought Bai Sanshu's permission and took them to see Bai Sanshu's injured leg.
Fortunately, Bai Sanshu has almost recovered now, but in order to recover better, Bai Sanshu is not allowed to walk every day except during rehabilitation time.
"Miss Bai, if my arms and legs are completely broken, can they be stitched back together?" A younger military doctor couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to know the most, "I mean, if I stitch it back together, can I still be like a normal person?"
It is the same?"
Bai Ling thought for a while, shook his head slightly and said: "If we can rescue them immediately, we can suture them, but it is impossible to restore them to a normal person. And in a completely broken limb, the nerves will be damaged within a certain period of time.
Necrosis will occur, and a large number of bacteria will be produced, which can easily lead to the death of the injured patient."
Bai Ling had some space, so he was somewhat confident that he would be able to reattach the severed limb.
But the conditions in the army are limited, and soldiers who have broken limbs are still on the battlefield. They may not be able to use them when they get them back, or they may not even be their own.
Bai Ling didn't want to cause too many tragedies, and he didn't want to delay more people's life-saving opportunities because of one or two people, so he had no choice but to say this.
The military doctor was a little disappointed, but he thought that what Bai Ling said was not absolute, and it might be feasible.
Other military doctors also began to raise various questions, especially surgery after injuries to internal organs, which has always been a top priority.
Although Bai Ling answered them one by one, he also began to question whether he was right or wrong in teaching suturing.
There are countless injured people on the battlefield, but the number of military doctors is limited. If you want to perform major operations to save people, unless the number of military doctors is sufficient, it will only turn more lightly injured casualties into serious injuries, and even cost their lives.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling's face became serious, which made several military doctors feel uneasy, thinking that they had said the wrong thing and made Bai Ling unhappy.
"Everyone, we are all doctors. It is our duty to save lives and heal the wounded. I think this is one of the important reasons why you come to me to learn medical suturing. It is also the reason why I am willing to pass on my unique medical skills to you for free. However, I
Now I suddenly have doubts, and I would like to ask you to answer them for me."
After Bai Ling took a deep breath, he looked at everyone and said.
"Miss Bai, please speak." Everyone sat up straight, as if listening.
"War is cruel, and you can understand it better than me. No matter how big or small a battle is, there are bound to be casualties. Suturing can help people heal faster, and can even reduce disability and death. But suturing also has its biggest weakness, that is
It takes a long time.”
Bai Ling organized his thoughts and asked solemnly:
"For example, for a severely injured patient, an operation may take several hours, or even longer. I want to ask you, if we are rescuing a patient with only one breath left, there can be a dozen or even hundreds of lightly injured patients.
, how will you choose?”
Everyone was stunned and unable to answer for a moment.
Using suturing to save people is the purpose of their studies.
But military doctors are different from ordinary doctors. The number of patients who need treatment will never be one or two...
Because of Bai Ling's question, the scene became silent, and no one could give a clear answer.
Bai Ling didn't force himself. After sitting for a while, he let everyone go to rest and continued to teach them how to perform the surgery the next day.
In fact, Bai Ling knew in his heart that if the seriously injured person was a military general, no matter how many soldiers were sacrificed, the military doctors would do their best to treat him.
But when it happens to ordinary soldiers, it's a different situation.
A few days later, the military doctors all said goodbye and left, but they all made a tacit understanding and never mentioned what Bai Ling said again.
The days in winter are very short, and the Bai family has a lot to do. They light up lights and do things every night until the end of Youshi, and this continues until the end of Winter.
"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and next year will definitely be a good one. Most people in the village have planted winter wheat this year, and the county magistrate has supported people in planting winter wheat. The folks in our county will have enough to eat next year."
The family was eating hot pot and Bai Sanshu was drinking wine. He was smiling when he said this.
"Yes, what we ordinary people want is to have a full stomach. There is nothing more promising than this." Bai Liu also sighed with emotion.
Bai Ling brewed a lot of fruit wine this year. Except for the ones that Duan Yulang took away, he kept them all for his own people to drink.
Drinking a little less with dinner every day is very good for the body.
"It's just that the years are so good. It's not easy for us to buy land. We have to wait a long time to become a big landowner." Bai Wei, a money-crazed person, started talking about making money.
"We have bought the wasteland near our home, all the way to the neighboring village. If we raise it for a few years, it will be good land. Are we not big landowners?" Bai Cao gave Bai Wei a fish ball and said with a smile: "
You are just not satisfied."
"I'm afraid of poverty." Bai Wei laughed, looked at Bai Ling and asked, "Second sister, counting the days, it's time for Miss Xiao to arrive in the capital, right?"
"Well, it will be her hair extensions ceremony in a few days, so she will definitely be busy at the moment." Bai Ling responded.
Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but Bai Ling always felt that the way Xiao Muqing looked at her sometimes was a little weird.
However, Xiao Muqing's relationship with the Bai family has always been good, she doesn't have the airs of a eldest lady, and she and Baicao have a cooperative relationship, so Bai Lingbian didn't think twice about it.
Before Xiao Muqing left, Bai Ling gave her a jade hairpin as a gift. It is unknown whether they will meet again in the future, but Bai Ling did not want to break his promise.
Moreover, Xiao Muqing is Bai Ling's first friend after coming to this world, and there is no conflict of interest between the two.
The family chatted for a while, then asked the servants to remove the table and went back to their rooms to rest.
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the preserved egg factory stopped working, and the tofu shop also temporarily closed on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The Bai family treated everyone equally and gave each worker in the two workshops two rulers, ten preserved eggs, two pounds of frozen tofu, and two pounds of pork.
Those who were usually hard-working were given extra red envelopes ranging from a hundred cents to a penny, which also encouraged everyone's enthusiasm for work.
As for those who are in charge and those doing business outside (receiving and delivering goods), their benefits are doubled, and they are also given red envelopes, but they are not announced to the public.
The workshop has stopped working, but the Bai family is even busier. In addition to preparing New Year's goods and gifts, they also have to calculate the ledgers.
According to the agreement with the village, part of the dividends from the preserved egg workshop will be distributed to the villagers and the clan. These must be accounted for as soon as possible so that the villagers can live a prosperous and peaceful New Year.
"Over there at my old house...how should I give out the New Year's gifts this year?" Bai Liu asked with a headache after talking about the New Year's gifts.
Bai Sanshu raised his head and said in a low voice: "You can send it off as you should, don't think about it."
"Add five taels of silver." Bai Ling continued without pausing his abacus hand.
"Second sister, aren't you stupid?" Bai Wei immediately objected.
"Our family doesn't have a few taels of silver now, so let's spend it to buy a break and a reputation." Bai Ling said calmly: "Let dad buy some peace of mind."
Bai Sanshu scratched his head and said nothing. Bai Wei glanced at it and muttered: "It won't be a good thing if I give it away."
Mrs. Bai Liu was very satisfied with her current life, so she didn't care about a few taels of silver and wrote down a sum in the book. (To be continued)
