You have to know that the knife wound on the Fourth Master was seven or eight centimeters long, and part of the wound was very deep.

If it is not sutured, it will easily leave scars, take longer to heal, and is prone to rupture and inflammation.

Lin Mingyan had heard before that when the concubine gave birth, her vagina was cut open but not sewn up, and she thought that the imperial physician was not willing to operate on private parts.

Now seeing this imperial physician who is the best at treating injuries not suture the wound, it feels like a dream!

After hearing what she said, Doctor Jia stroked his beard and said, "Concubine, you're joking. Suturing is for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. How can it be used on the Fourth Master?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that wounds heal quickly after being sutured. They are more likely to worsen and become pus-filled, which can be fatal."

"That's all because we have no other options on the battlefield. We don't have the conditions to use good medicine and lie down to recuperate. This is the worst possible strategy."

"The Fourth Master is as precious as gold and jade. Take good care of him with good medicine and don't move. He will recover quickly."

We are all doctors, who doesn’t know the benefits of suture?

But it's painful to sew it up. If you anger the noble, won't he hate you to death?

You can’t do such a thing!

Lin Mingyan didn't expect to get such an answer. After thinking about it for a while, she frowned. It was still the case that the disinfection in ancient times was not done well enough.

The needles and threads used in surgery cannot be thoroughly sterilized, and there is indeed a risk of infection after suturing.

But if you calculate it this way, even if there is no suture, the risk of infection still exists!

"Doctor Jia, are you wrong? The wound is inflamed and worsened, not caused by the stitches." Lin Mingyan decided to struggle and explain:

"As long as the disinfection is done properly, the wound will heal much faster after being sutured."

If someone else was lying here, she wouldn't say anything, but this is the Fourth Master.

He was injured because of her, I just hope he can suffer less.

Moreover, the technology of suturing has existed in ancient times. These imperial doctors probably don’t want to take responsibility?

The Fourth Master was not in so much pain now. Seeing Lin Mingyan sweating from anxiety, he remembered the usual behavior of the imperial physician.

He frowned and asked, "Doctor Jia, can you sew it up?"

"If it's okay, will you sew it for me?"

It’s not that he blindly believed in Cha Cha, but he had personally seen soldiers being stitched up after being injured on the battlefield, and they did heal faster.

Cha Cha's father is a soldier, and he must have told her all this, which is why she is so concerned.

Doctor Jia hesitated and said, "Fourth Prince, this suturing is extremely painful and has certain risks. What do you think..."

The Fourth Master could tell from Doctor Jia's tone that the suture would still be useful, but because of his status, he was afraid that it would hurt him.

This is also the usual practice of imperial physicians. They will avoid certain medicines or things that may cause disgust to nobles.

Otherwise, it would be his fault that the noble man had to lie in bed for two months due to his injury, but he couldn't do anything about you, the imperial physician.

But if he suffers excruciating pain while sewing, won't he be considered guilty of this crime?

"Sew it!" The Fourth Master said in a firm tone.

Doctor Jia was at a loss and could only ask his apprentice to bring the medicine box, which contained suture instruments.

Lin Mingyan then stepped aside and watched him put the things out.

There are needles, thread, and pliers, but they are different from those in later generations. The needles look painful.

However, it is not as sharp as the unearthed photos in history books.

But what Lin Mingyan didn't expect was that what Doctor Jia called preparation was to sew after washing hands with hot water.

I rely on!

If he is not infected like this, then the Fourth Master is truly God’s own son!

She hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, wait, Doctor Jia, are you just going to start like this without any preparation?"

Isn't this room disinfected?

Don’t you need Ma Fei San?

No anesthesia or disinfection required, just sew it up like that!

Doctor Jia didn't want to sew in the first place, and was stopped by a layman in his eyes. He was really annoyed.

He said with an unhappy look: "Concubine, it was you who asked me to sew it up. Now I am about to start sewing, and you still want to obstruct me?!"

He was told that women should not be involved in such urgent matters as medical treatment, as they would only cause trouble by crying.

He hasn't even started sewing yet, but he's already doing this and that.

If you start sewing and see the needle and thread going through the skin and flesh, wouldn’t you be so scared that you faint?

Lin Mingyan was speechless. She pointed at the room and said, "Doctor Jia, look at how filthy this place is. There must be so much dirt in it. How can you just start stitching like this?"

"Also, these needles and thread aren't sealed. They also need to be disinfected on the spot before use, right?"

She really hated it, if only she had a modern medical kit in her inventory.

What a pity, there is only one pregnancy pill, two divine seeds, and a useless "girl-preserving talisman" left.

Can this thing be exchanged for a medical kit?

Doctor Jia didn't expect that what she said made some sense, but this was not his responsibility as a doctor.

"Since you understand so well, then just do it!" Doctor Jia was holding back his anger and spoke in a bad tone.

If he hadn't been concerned that the person lying here was Emperor Kangxi's biological son, he would have quit right now.

Lin Mingyan felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but time was pressing, so she didn't care.

He immediately ordered Su Peisheng to take people to the next room to clean up: "Boil water immediately and boil all the needles and thread that Doctor Jia needs. Boil it for a quarter of an hour."

"Look for lime. If there's no lime, use wood ash and sprinkle it all over the room."

"Take away all the quilts and mattresses on the bed, and wipe the bed board clean with the wine you brought!"

The Shenxianzui was brought by Su Peisheng and others to drink at noon, and it came in handy now.

Fortunately, although Zhuangzi had enough manpower, Su Peisheng made the arrangements and everything was done a quarter of an hour later.

When they arrived at the disinfected room, Lin Mingyan drove everyone out and left only Doctor Jia and his apprentice.

Then he asked, "Doctor Jia, please start suturing."

Fortunately, Doctor Jia had just applied Ma Fei San to the Fourth Master's arm, which is similar to modern topical anesthesia and can reduce the pain to a certain extent.

Doctor Jia saw that she had really packed everything up in an orderly manner. After thinking about it carefully, he found that these procedures were indeed useful.

Now he didn't dare to look down on this woman, so he could only pick up the pliers and start stitching.

Lin Mingyan watched him pick up the needle with pliers and pierce it into the Fourth Master's flesh, and couldn't help but let out a "hiss" sound.

But she didn't say anything, just watched him continue to seal the other side, and when the two sides came together, they should be tied into a knot...

Ok?

what happened?

Why don’t you tie the knot and move on to the next stitch? !

Lin Mingyan stopped him: "Wait, Doctor Jia, isn't it one stitch at a time when you sew a wound?"

What do you mean by sewing like sewing clothes?

And look at where his second stitch was, it was too close to the first one. So originally only five stitches were needed, but now ten are needed!

Doctor Jia couldn't stand it any longer. He put the forceps and needle on the plate and said, "Concubine, why don't you do it yourself?"

Really, if you can do it, then go for it!

If the Fourth Prince hadn't been angry about asking her to go out, he would have asked her to go out with others!
