"Hey, Qingya, please be gentle, don't hurt the child! Do you know how to do it?" When the old lady saw the child crying, she started to accuse Zhuqing regardless.
"Grandma, don't worry, this wound must be cleaned first." Zhu Qing answered her while gently wiping the child.
"Don't cry, Bao'er. He's getting better soon. Don't be afraid!" Zhu Qing comforted the child softly.
Perhaps the cool wet cloth eased the pain in his originally burning and painful wound. After the initial cry, the child slowly calmed down.
"Well, I know that Bao'er is the best behaved! Well done to Bao'er!" Zhu Qing praised the child while working non-stop.
After she cleaned the child's wounds, she couldn't help but gasp.
There is a big gash on the left side of the child's face, and the skin and flesh are turned outward. But fortunately, the wound is just a little distance from his eyes. In other words, his eyes may not be
question.
Of course, even if the firecracker exploded, there was no guarantee that no foreign matter had entered his eyes, which would require further examination.
However, at present, it seems that his eyes are not seriously injured. The lower eyelids are only slightly red and swollen.
The blasted skin and flesh were opened and blood stained it, so his family thought that his eyes were also damaged.
It seems that such a large wound must be sutured if it is to be healed.
Zhuqing frowned. Of course she could do simple debridement and suturing. But can the people here accept suturing the skin and flesh?
But at this time, I couldn't worry too much. Anyway, I had to help the child take care of the wound first.
So she turned around and called the child's mother, Sister-in-law Ergui: "Sister-in-law Ergui, this child will definitely have scars on his face in the future. If I stitch it up for him, the wound can be smaller and heal faster. You
Do you want me to sew him up?"
"Sewing? Can the skin and flesh be sewn back?" Ergui's sister-in-law was stunned after hearing this. Then she looked at the hideous wounds on the child's face, thinking about the consequences of half of the child's face being destroyed, and asked hesitantly: "
Qingya, after suturing, will the wound be much smaller? My baby is still young, and there will be scars on his face in the future, but it will affect him too much."
Seeing her hesitation, Zhuqing knew that she was moved, so he said: "Yes, after suturing, the wound will become smaller and grow easily. Sister-in-law Ergui, as long as you agree, I will definitely take care of it for Bao'er."
!”
Since she had alcohol and planned to practice medicine, Zhuqing has done a lot of preparatory work. Not only has she prepared acupuncture and other equipment used in traditional Chinese medicine, she has also prepared some suture tools commonly used in Western medicine. Suture threads,
She managed to buy catgut. Now these things are in her medicine cabinet. But she has not had a chance to use them yet.
"Okay! Qingya, you can try it for my Bao'er!" After hesitating for a while, Ergui's sister-in-law made up her mind and agreed.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhuqing motioned to her to take the child into her home and let the onlookers disperse. Then they found a clean room and let Baoer lie on the bed while she made all the preparations.
.
Zhuqing specially changed into clean clothes, washed her hands several times, put on the mask she made, and then took out a damp cotton handkerchief from her medical kit to cover Baoer's mouth and nose.
Seeing that Bao'er fell asleep quickly, Zhu Qing took out the needle and thread from the medicine box and carefully sewed up his wound with his hands and feet.
Ergui's sister-in-law refused to leave, but when she saw Zhuqing using needles and threads to sew up the child's face, she was still too frightened to look further.
"Okay, I've done the stitching. Sister-in-law, the child needs to change his dressing every day. From now on, I will change his dressing every day. The stitches can be removed in about ten days, and they will be fine by then. This is the prescription, you can
Go get him medicine and let him take it three times a day!" Zhuqing neatly sewed up the wound, then carefully checked the child's eyes and carefully removed the foreign matter under his eyelids.
Seeing Zhuqing wrapping the child's face with a piece of cloth and looking confident, Ergui's sister-in-law finally felt relieved.
"Is this okay? Is the child okay?" The speaker was Bao'er's grandmother and the mother of Ergui's sister-in-law.
She was the one who held her grandson in her arms before.
She saw that Zhu Qing had finished the so-called suturing, but the child had not yet woken up, so she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I gave the child some Mafei powder. It will probably take a quarter of an hour before he wakes up. The wound may still hurt by then, so don't let him scratch it. This prescription contains analgesic ingredients, so remember to let him
He drinks!" Zhuqing nodded and explained the precautions.
"Okay, Qingya, thank you!" Ergui's sister-in-law thanked her repeatedly.
"By the way, how much is the consultation fee? I'll get it for you right now!" Ergui's sister-in-law is quite cheerful.
"The consultation fee is 20 cents, plus the cost of the suture surgery, the total is 50 cents." Zhu Qing said frankly without being polite to her.
"Fifty cents? Qingya, can I give it together in a few days?" Ergui's sister-in-law said a little embarrassed.
"Okay! It doesn't matter." Zhu Qing nodded. Fifty cents is neither too much nor too little. With her own family's original situation, it was difficult to come up with even five cents in one go, let alone fifty cents.
"I'll come see Bao'er tomorrow." Zhu Qing nodded, then went back carrying the medical kit.
Bao'er's wound has been sutured, and the next thing to pay attention to is to prevent wound infection.
Zhuqing knew that this infection had to be overcome before Bao'er's wound could be completely healed.
This was the first trauma she had dealt with since arriving. She had to take care of it.
By the time Zhuqing left Ergui's sister-in-law's house, the people in the village couldn't help but gathered around her curiously: "Qingya, did you really give Bao'er stitches? Can this skin still be stitched?"
"Qingya, you don't think this flesh can be sewn together like strips of cloth, do you?"
"Qingya, with Bao'er's face, can we see anyone again in the future?"
The chattering among the people in the village clearly showed their distrust of Zhu Qing.
Zhuqing was not angry because she knew that there must be a process for people to accept new things all at once. As long as Baoer recovered, she would be convincing.
So she just smiled at everyone, and then said: "What's going on? Everyone will know when Bao'er's wound recovers."
"Yes, if Bao'er recovers, it means Qingya's treatment was right." Seeing Zhu Qing's indifference, the villagers didn't have much to say.
