"Are these wounds sewn up with needles and threads?" When Zhu Qing led the girls to change dressings for the wounded, Kang Yizhi watched unblinkingly.
This is the first time he has seen this method of treating wounds. Usually when they are injured, they usually apply medicine directly on the wound to stop the bleeding. The scab will fall off and eventually a scar similar to the wound will be formed.
Those scars may be big or small, but it is basically impossible for them to be as neat as they are now after being sutured by these girls.
Thinking of his skin being sewn up with needles and threads, his scalp felt numb.
"Does it hurt when you sew?" The sergeant beside him was obviously as curious as he was, and asked the question that he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask.
The treated sergeant shook his head: "It doesn't hurt. The girl gave me a candy before sewing!" He blushed involuntarily as he spoke.
Because after he said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been coaxed like a child.
After all, I am also a seven-foot-long man!
"Hahaha, a piece of candy can actually coax you! You are a promising kid!" As expected, the sergeant who asked the question laughed mercilessly.
The man was a little angry and glared at the person who laughed at him, but he didn't know how to defend himself. After all, he still remembers the taste of that candy. It was cool, slightly sweet, and delicious.
"That candy is an anesthetic. It was specially made by our sister Qingya. After taking the anesthetic, the suturing will not hurt." Huixiang, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it and couldn't help but defend the sergeant.
This fat girl is so nice! The injured sergeant couldn't help but be grateful and glanced at Huixiang.
"Sugar or anesthetic? I've never heard of it! Girl, don't say nice things to him! This guy is famous for his food. A piece of candy can fool him! Haha!" The sergeant was obviously not very good.
Believe it or not, I can't help but continue to mock.
"Humph, I told you, it's an anesthetic, it's an anesthetic! If you don't believe it, I won't give it to you next time! I'll let you taste what pain is!" Huixiang has always been straightforward when speaking, and she immediately retorted after being rushed.
"Huixiang!" Zhuqing saw that she was speaking without restraint and quickly stopped her.
It's not a good idea to ask someone to use anesthesia and sutures at this time.
"Brother, our Huixiang still has the temper of a child. Is she talking like a child? Don't be as knowledgeable as her!" Zhu Qing nodded and apologized to the sergeant.
The sergeant waved his hand carelessly: "It's okay! Among us who went to the battlefield? Who wouldn't be injured? Even if your head falls off, it's just a scar as big as a bowl! It doesn't matter if the little girl says it smoothly!"
Kang Yizhi glared at him: "Why can't your head fall off? You are bragging every day! When you go back later, stand still for an hour!"
"Hey, Kang Da...people!" the sergeant wailed. He did not dare to say any more.
"Doctor Sun has such a clever mind, is this candy really an anesthetic?" Kang Yizhi was very curious about Zhu Qing's methods.
"Yes? Sir. Because considering the patient's injury, it is impossible to wait for the boiled decoction? So I specially made candy-like pills. Taking one can replace the anesthetic decoction." Zhuqing followed.
He details the origins of the anesthetic candies.
In fact, in modern clinical practice, anesthetics are injected with syringes. But due to the constraints here, Zhuqing was unable to make a suitable sterile syringe. Therefore, he came up with the idea of making sugar pills.
"Actually, there isn't a lot of sugar in the pill, I just added a little more licorice." Zhu Qing smiled.
"Listen? Listen, the pills I took before were also pills? Not sugar!" The sergeant who had been laughed at before couldn't help but defend himself at this moment.
"Huh? That's you? Taking the pills as candy!" The former sergeant curled his lips and winked at him.
"You!..." The injured sergeant couldn't help but became furious and clenched his fists. However, he was injured and could not move easily.
"What are you doing? If you want to hit me, get better quickly!" Seeing the other person's look of wanting to get violent but being unable to do so? The sergeant wanted to be beaten as much and as cheaply as he could.
"Hmph, just wait for me!" Knowing that his brother actually cared more about him, the injured sergeant finally loosened his fist, but he still said harsh words.
"Shut up!" Kang Yizhi was a little ashamed that his men had behaved so stupidly in front of Zhu Qing.
"Doctor Sun, I wonder if this prescription of yours can be promoted in the military?" Kang Yizhi thought about how many wounded people would benefit if this method was promoted in the military!
In war, injuries are inevitable, and pain is certainly inevitable. But if the pain can be reduced, will it be easier for the wounded soldiers to recover?
"Of course." Zhu Qing nodded frankly: "I followed the general to the northwest this time in order to help the general and the army."
"Doctor Sun, don't worry! We won't take that recipe from you for nothing. Along with the secret medicine I made with you before, I will report it to the princess, and the princess will definitely be rewarded!" Kang Yizhi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
This girl really had no selfish motives. He could tell from her unhesitating answer.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhu Qing thanked him calmly.
"By the way, how long will it take to recover after they sewed it up like this?" Kang Yizhi asked.
"As short as seven days, as long as half a month. If it cannot heal in half a month, it may be necessary to suture and debridement again, and to remove the slough." Zhu Qing replied.
"Cut out carrion?" This was the first time Kang Yizhi saw a girl talking about these things in a plain tone like ordinary people talking about eating and drinking.
"Yes, if the wound cannot be healed within half a month, it must be that there is rot inside the skin, so the carrion must be cut out and re-medicated before recovery can occur. Generally, this kind of situation is rare. As long as you pay attention to disinfection precautions, this kind of situation is very rare.
There will be." Wound infection after debridement is mostly caused by lack of strict disinfection and sterilization. Nowadays, disinfection measures in hospitals are very strict, and this kind of thing really doesn't happen much.
"Disinfection?" Kang Yizhi was very keen and suddenly discovered a new word.
"Yes, disinfection. After I clean the patient's wound, I will wipe it with alcohol. Alcohol can kill most of the toxins that may be present around the wound." Zhu Qing knew that these modern ideas of his were not acceptable to these ancients.
It's so easy, so I'm mentally prepared to have to explain it carefully.
"What is alcohol?" Kang Yizhi found that he seemed to be really ignorant in front of this girl.
