Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 196

While performing the surgery, Jiang Suying taught Kong Qing: "If we do the amputation surgery ourselves, the skin flap must be cut in a diamond-shaped incision, like this, like a fish mouth, also called a 'fish mouth' incision."

"It is in this shape. It is much easier to sew it up. Remember, the surgical environment is very important. Before suturing, the wound surface must be cleaned thoroughly. Some larger nerves and blood vessels must be ligated, such as the femoral artery and vein."

"Well, because the amputation took a long time, the blood vessels will shrink. We have to look upwards. Well, we found these two. We can sew them up. Finally, sew up the skin and bandage it. This is plaster. Use plaster to fix it."

Jiang Suying had completed the first surgical operation in ancient times, but she had no idea about the prognosis.

"I'm leaving." Jiang Xiubai said hello to Jiang Suying and walked out of the room with dull eyes. Compared with his minor in veterinary medicine, this real surgical operation was so exhilarating.

He had not learned any veterinary medicine and was not even brave enough to castrate a pig, let alone cut meat or break bones.

Damn it, he doesn’t want to eat meat or ribs anymore during this period!

"Wait for me." Doctor Jiang shouted, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to Jiang Xiubai, but his feet did not move. Jiang Xiubai turned around and saw what was going on, and immediately understood. He walked over to help him, and asked very considerately: "Grandpa, your legs are weak from fear, right?"

He also softened.

Doctor Jiang glanced at him in annoyance: How can this child talk like that? He is so old, how could he be so frightened that his legs went limp? Even if he was frightened, he can’t say it out loud! !

The grandfather and grandson walked out, one step deep and the other shallow, supporting each other. They were stopped by Old Man Gong who was waiting outside and wanted to ask about the situation. They just said "ask the doctor" and left in a hurry.

I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a moment!

For the first time, Dr. Jiang was not very interested in the new medical techniques.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old, I really don't like the scene of bloody stabbing and pulling.

He should just learn how to give acupuncture!

"Master?"

There were only two names in the operating room: Jiang Suying and Kong Qing. Jiang Suying was sorting and sterilizing surgical instruments, while Kong Qing was in charge of cleaning the operating room. While cleaning, he asked Jiang Suying: "Is the operation done? Can this patient survive?"

Jiang Suying suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of disbelief. Kong Qing was startled by her look and even began to stutter: "What...what happened?"

"Did you not hear a word I just said to Old Man Gong and the others?"

Fang Qing's face suddenly turned red: "I...I I-"

He only remembered the incident of the father and son chopping off each other's legs. How much courage would it take to chop off his own legs?

His mind was completely focused on this, and he didn't remember much of what his master said afterwards.

Jiang Suying sighed slightly in her heart. It's okay. The child is still young. After all, when she was studying, she often listened to the teacher's lectures in one ear and out the other. She only remembered to ask people or look up books when she needed to use something. She had gone through this age before. Jiang Suying expressed her understanding.

It's just that my concentration is a little lacking!

It's ok.

Diligence can make up for lack of talent. When she has time to organize the medical records, she will memorize them after copying them a dozen or twenty times.

But now I have to explain it to him again: "The operation is done, but I can't say what it will look like after the operation. Will his flesh and blood rot? To what extent will it rot? Will his wounds heal? To what extent will they heal? Will the flesh inside and the skin outside grow back? Everything is unknown."

"So you have to pay close attention to him these few days. Don't leave him alone for twelve hours a day. When you get out, go tell his parents."

"Okay, okay!" Kong Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Go and boil the medicine and try to save this life." Jiang Suying sighed.

What a person who wants to live!

It would be a real pity if he couldn't wake up. Let's prepare some adrenaline and see if we can save his life.

"Doctor, how is it?"

Jiang Suying had just transferred Gong Xing to the three-person ward when she came out and was surrounded by the old man Gong and his wife. She told them that she was the only one who could handle Kong Qing's matter and asked him to go and boil the medicine. She also told them about the post-operative care.

"Gong Xing is in critical condition now. You have to take care of him and keep him clean. Your body and clothes must be clean. It will take too long for you to go home to get clothes. The clinic can provide you with a clean robe to wear outside, but you have to return it. The shop opposite also has cloth and cotton at a very affordable price. You can also buy them and make your own."

Old Man Gong wanted to say that his clothes were still decent and clean, but seeing that they were stained with bloodstains, he couldn't say it. He could only say "Hey hey" and said, "Thank you, doctor."

Jiang Suying waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Remember to keep a close eye on Gong Xing's condition. If anything goes wrong, call me immediately. I won't be too far from the clinic. If you really can't find me, just shout loudly. I'll pass on instructions and have people call me when they hear me."

"Okay!" Old Man Gong responded, and asked his wife to go to the shop opposite to see how much the cloth cost - he no longer wanted to make cotton-padded clothes, but to buy some cloth to make a clean coverall, just like the surgical gown that Doctor Jiang wore during surgery.

The clinic admitted a patient who had chopped off his own leg. The patients outside had already started talking about it. When they learned that it was the "acquaintance" who was taken home by his wife yesterday, they immediately sighed: "If he had stayed in the clinic a long time ago, there would be no need to suffer this."

"He was brought here just now. I heard that his condition is even worse. Yesterday he had a 50% chance of survival, but today it's probably 20%."

"How did you know? Did Doctor Jiang tell you?"

"No, I guessed."

"what!"

"I heard that his parents rushed out in the middle of the night to send it here!"

Someone lowered his voice mysteriously, and someone immediately cheered him on.

"So it's his parents who want to treat him, but his wife doesn't?"

The atmosphere of gossip is so thick that it seems to be overflowing.

"No!"

"Actually, I wanted to say this yesterday. That woman has a bad face and looks very mean! Look, she is really a bad luck for her husband!"

Jiang Suying: “…”

How did you get to the point of being a husband killer?

Where there are people, there is the world. No matter where you are, gossip is inevitable. Besides, these patients have already passed the critical period. They have a tile to shelter themselves, hot porridge to fill their stomachs, and even a small couch 60 cm wide to lie on. The temperature in the room is not cold, and it is even a little hot if they wear more clothes.

In this case, you can say that you have no worries about food and clothing - although you have to spend money, there are subsidies!

So it is basically impossible to stop them from talking.

Still have to work!

Jiang Suying thought.

Get busy and see if you have time to think about other things.

As long as the hands can still move, all manual work will be arranged.

She stretched her stiff neck and asked someone to arrange the "transfer to another hospital".

Patients in the clinic have mild to severe illnesses. Those with severe illnesses need to be hospitalized. In order to facilitate care, it is best for them to live in the clinic.

But a large proportion of patients whose conditions are relatively serious but whose lives are not in danger also need to be arranged for hospitalization.

But the clinic simply does not have enough beds, so some of these patients have to be transferred to houses around the clinic.

As for those with mild symptoms, they were sent here by families living close to the clinic. Of course, these patients were allowed to go home directly, but there were still many people who insisted on being hospitalized for the free three meals a day and half-price family meals. Jiang Suying certainly could not agree to this, and she even issued hospitalization standards - but strictly speaking, the doctors in the clinic had the final say on whether or not a patient could be hospitalized.

All the properties around here, whether owned or not, have been requisitioned. If Old Man Gong hadn't come today, they would have been arranged early in the morning.

Originally, Jiang Yipei and his colleagues wanted to be qualified leaders. They wanted to rent out vacant yards or shops nearby, but it was difficult to find landlords in the vast sea of ​​people. If they did find some, they were willing to rent but asked for an exorbitant price.

They have all seen what Jiang Yipei has done in recent times, and they feel that for an official who is easy to talk to and rich, they will give him more money even if he asks for it!

It's so funny, asking for an exorbitant price from the government!

Seeing that reason wasn't working, Jiang Yipei simply ordered a team of people to wear swords and walk around the house where the current owner lived. Without saying anything, they just walked around, holding the scabbard in their hands, staring grimly at everyone in the house, and several children were scared to tears.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the homeowner obediently handed over the house key.

The newly appointed leader Jiang Yipei discovered a truth through trial and error: as a leader, sometimes you are too kind and easy to talk to, which makes it impossible to suppress some people. You have to be tough when tough is necessary.

But when borrowing someone else's house, rent must still be paid, but Jiang Yipei will decide how to pay and how much to pay. Anyway, it won't be too outrageous.

The next day, all the people who had registered came to work and had a meal before working.

I already told you yesterday that you should bring your own bowls and chopsticks.

It would take a very long time for three or five people to wash so many dishes, but if everyone washes their own dishes, a lot of time can be saved. Now the time for urban construction is very tight, and we don't want to waste even a minute.

"Two teams, line up. Don't switch back and forth."

The work norms have not yet been determined, and many people's discipline is somewhat lax. The same goes for queuing up for food. After queuing here, they feel that the line over there is shorter, so they want to go there.

"One bowl per person. If you have more, please report to Room 1 immediately after eating."

The aunties were in charge of serving porridge and vegetables, and their hands didn't shake at all. Regardless of gender, each person was given an iron spoon that could hold enough porridge to support chopsticks, and a flat spoonful of pickles.

Everyone didn't care about the heat and quickly finished a bowl of soup. Some men were still not satisfied and wanted to have another bowl, but that was not possible.

After eating, everyone went to get tools, gloves and ear protection.

These days, Jiang the tailor's team is really busy. Some people are cutting cloth, some are sewing, making gloves, earmuffs and shoes.

The main task today is to melt and shovel snow.

In the past few days, Jiang Yipei had people shoveling snow, but due to limited manpower, they could only deal with the snow near the clinic. Anything farther away was really out of reach.

Nowadays, people from all the surrounding villages have signed up, especially nearby residents, and many of them sign up early in the morning, so there are definitely enough manpower.

There are many ways to melt snow, and a very common one is to spread salt.

Salt can lower the melting point of snow, thereby accelerating the melting of snow, which is a commonly used method in modern times.

But if it was used in ancient times, not to mention ordinary people working, even Dr. Jiang would think she was crazy. She actually used salt to melt snow. It was really a waste of money. How much is salt worth? How much is snow worth? The more snow there is, the more it is. As long as it does not get in the way, it is fine. Using a shovel to shovel it is already a great respect for it.

So, after much deliberation, they decided to adopt the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method - manual snow shoveling. They had to clear the snow on the streets so that at least the traffic could pass. As for the snow on the roofs, it was very heavy. It snowed so heavily in the past few days. If it was not cleared in time, the remaining houses would collapse in minutes.

Another task is to check out the lonely elderly and homeless beggars. Jiang Yipei has already had someone clean up a large house to house these people.

Jiang Xiaomi is still a cashier today. After yesterday's promotion, more people came today. Jiang Xiubai, who was scared by Jiang Suying, is her assistant.

At this time, Jiang Xiubin was registering. It happened to be the turn of a man in a long robe. He bowed and asked, "Brother, I heard that there is carbon for sale here? Where is it?"

"I'm sorry, the shop does have coal, but it's not for sale. If you want the coal, you can only earn it by working overtime. I see you're a scholar, and the town is hiring workers right now. Do you want to sign up?"

The man shook his head: "I can buy it at the original price, or I can increase the price."

Jiang Xiubin also shook his head: "No. Your household registration information has been registered. If you don't sign up, you can buy other things in the store at the original price, except for carbon."

man:"……"

He doesn't lack other things, but carbon. Why is he not allowed to buy it?

He was about to say something when the person behind him started to urge him: "The one in front, if you don't want to sign up, don't block us from signing up!!"

There aren't many times when this kind of site is cheap, so don't miss out.

The man reacted, apologized quickly, and stood aside embarrassedly. After thinking about it, he went into the shop. He was shocked to find that many things inside were unfamiliar to him. He walked around for a long time and had no more space in his hands.

"Brother, you can take a basket to put it in. It's right behind you."

Jiang Xiubai told the man that the shopping baskets in the shop were similar to those in modern supermarkets, except that the ancient ones were made of bamboo and looked better.

"Thank you." The man nodded to Jiang Xiubai and put the things in his hand into the bamboo basket. He filled it halfway and turned to walk towards Jiang Xiubai with the basket. "Sir, may I ask what these are? Are they the products of Dasheng?"

Wow--

Jiang Xiubai and Jiang Xiaomi looked at each other. Judging from the way this man spoke and dressed, he seemed to be a knowledgeable and experienced person. All the goods he picked up were different from those of this era.
