Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Just as Wu Yi stepped out of the threshold, a woman with a big belly bumped into his eyes. The woman had a fierce look on her face, with one hand on her hip and the other hand twisting a man's ear, and she was strangling aggressively in the yard.

The man whose ears she pinched was a slender figure like a bamboo pole, with a long chin that seemed to pierce his neck, and even the eyeballs seemed to be a little thinner than ordinary people.

Husband and wife, one is round and the other is long, they get together like an Arabic numeral 10.

Next to them stood two half-sized girl films, who seemed to be used to seeing this scene, just covered their mouths and smiled secretly.

Wu Yi couldn't help but slander, he had heard that there were many fierce wives in Shu, and seeing them today, his reputation really lived up to his reputation.

Xu Jie raised his eyebrows, the sharpness of a sword unsheathed was reflected in Qinghan's eyes, showing a little coldness.

"Miss Qin, I'm not a place for you to make noise. If you want to make noise, just go back to your home."

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she quickly let go, put her hands on her waist, and showed her stomach to Xu Jie.

"Mr. Xu, look, am I a ghost? People say that my three-month-old body weighs five months, and I am either pregnant with a ghost or a monster!"

Xu Jie's cold and serious eyes swept across the top, and seemed to have noticed something strange.

This is the happy pulse he cut off by himself two months ago, and now she is at most three months pregnant, but looking at her soft and huge belly, she is about four or five months old.

He thought for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Aside from being overweight, are there any other signs?"

Just as Lady Qin was about to speak, her body jerked suddenly, and hurriedly ordered the girl: "Hurry up and get the handkerchief."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and turned her back. Following a violent twitch at the corner of her shoulder, there was a smell of sour water in the air.

Wu Yi watched from the sidelines coldly, seeing that her body seemed to be heavier than Yue Yue's, and her pregnancy reaction was more severe than ordinary people, so she already had a three-point estimate in her heart.

I'm afraid that what she is pregnant with is not a normal fetus.

Mrs. Qin vomited for a while, and her aggressive aura was also reduced by three points. Her whole body was like a deflated ball, softly supported by her husband and girl, and she couldn't speak a word.

Seeing this, Xu Jie felt uneasy for a while, and asked her husband instead: "Has she seen any redness in recent days? Is there something like a frog coming down with the blood?"

"Yes, yes, you are sure, Mr. Xu is really a genius!"

Xu Jie was flattered by him, but there was no joy on his face, his eyes turned to Miss Qin's round belly, and after a while, he asserted: "The lady is pregnant with a ghost."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin seemed to be inflated again, and wrestled out of the girl's arms: "What kind of ghost? How can I be pregnant with a ghost if I am an innocent person?"

Seeing that Mrs. Qin was going to make trouble, and even her husband couldn't hold her back, Wu Yi put down his posture of watching a show and walked over quickly from the threshold.

"My lady, don't worry. The ghost fetus is not the birth of ghosts, but a disease. As long as it is handled properly, nothing will happen."

There were two slits for eyes on Miss Qin's disc-like full face, and she gave Wu Yi a slanting glance, seeing that this gentleman was handsome, gentle and polite, and put away what she was about to say for a while. Foul words, wait for him to give an explanation.

Wu Yi slowly said: "The so-called ghost fetus is because the viscera are not filled with true energy and the Yang energy is weak, so that after conception, the embryo is not healthy, the fetus is not formed, and the blood is coagulated in the cell and cannot be transformed."

Seeing Lady Qin's misty appearance, he decided not to share his book bag with her, and came to a conclusion straightforwardly: "Therefore, the ghost fetus has absolutely nothing to do with ghosts and gods, my lady can rest assured."

Although Mrs. Qin didn't understand the principles of true energy and yang energy, seeing Wu Yi's patience and gentle attitude, the arrogance on her face disappeared three points: "According to Mr. Woolen cloth?"

Wu Yi showed a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Xu also said just now that there are some toad-like bubbles flowing out of your lower body with blood. In fact, what is pregnant in your belly is all this thing, and it has long since lost its fetal shape. .”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, it was like a thunderbolt exploded in her ears on a sunny day, making her whole brain buzz.

The pale sunlight fell from the eaves, like a huge ice cellar, and a bone-chilling chill rolled out in an instant.

Lady Qin couldn't help shivering, she was walking in a trance in the icy and snowy land, the gleams of light were like needles chiseled from the ice, piercing her eyes red.

Seeing this situation, Wu Yi couldn't bear it. She didn't know how much joy and hope she had placed on the child in her stomach in the past two months, but she didn't expect that this was not a living little guy at all. It's a ghost fetus that can only harm the mother's body.

In fact, the name ghost fetus does not match the facts. In modern medicine 1000 years later, there is a more vivid name to describe this disease.

That is the famous mole in obstetrics and gynecology.

Now Mrs. Qin's uterine cavity is probably not only without a growing fetus, but densely packed with grape-like blisters, which makes her belly round, like a five-month pregnancy.

Xu Jie's complexion was still faint: "I have a prescription of Mumengyuan decocted with peach kernels, which is a thousand gold prescription from Immortal Sun Simiao. You just need to take it back and decoct it raw. Within a few days, the ghost fetus will naturally drain out. If you use up all the medicine, you will get rid of the disease."

Lady Qin seemed to be frozen, she didn't move for a while.And Xu Jie's cold words were like a sharp chisel, breaking the ice covering her face little by little, and slowly dripping into two meandering tears.

On the contrary, her husband still managed to calm himself down: "Mr. Lao will write down the prescription, and I will send someone to pick it up a moment later."

Xu Jie nodded, waved his long sleeves, and signaled to see off the guests.

Madam Qin seemed to have lost her mind, supported her round belly, supported by her husband and girls, and staggered away from the gate of the official school.

-

When the couple had gone far away, Wu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that they are so ardent."

Xu Jie didn't take it seriously: "The fetus in her womb is not a fetus at all, it's just a lesion. Treating illnesses and saving lives is our duty as medical officers."

These words are ruthless, but they are also reasonable, and Wu Yi couldn't refute them for a while.

Speaking of curing diseases, he thought of another important thing: "The prescription that Mr. Xu said just now, although it was written by the immortal Sun Simiao, may not be able to eliminate all ghosts."

Only then was Xu Jie aroused a little interest: "I have only used this method two or three times, and it is indeed unsatisfactory. I wonder if Mr. Wu has any good ideas?"

Wu Yi didn't make a fool of himself, and straightforwardly stated the most common method in modern times.

"Qing Palace."

"Qing palace?"

"Yes." Wu Yi nodded deeply, "Only by opening the womb and cleaning out the ghost fetus can we ensure that it will be cleaned up without leaving any trouble behind."

Xu Jie was suddenly taken aback by his bold idea: "Are you going to forcibly disembowel her like a princess?"

"That's not necessary." Wu Yi said, "Just enter through the birth canal, use the mouth of the cervix as the portal, and eradicate ghost fetuses from it, and you can be safe."

After briefly explaining the operation of the Qing palace technique, he was actually quite disturbed.

In this era, gynecology is still a very embarrassing subject, and the gender barrier makes many common operations in modern times a taboo in the room.

Even men are not allowed to enter the delivery room casually, let alone the rather offensive operation of curettage.

Sure enough, Xu Jie's expression froze, and he didn't agree very much: "Although this method is quite desirable, there are two big problems. One is that ordinary ladies like Mrs. Qin may not have the courage and courage of the Crown Princess. Yes, you must not touch it; the second is that this method cuts into the uterus, it is very painful, and it is very painful, and it is very unbearable."

These two points really bothered Wu Yi.

It is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight to change people's stubborn idea that men and women are different in this era.

Fortunately, in this enlightened and flourishing age, there are many eclectic and strange women like the princess who are willing to try some advanced technologies that ordinary people can't imagine.

The pain problem of surgery is the real urgent need to be solved.

Wu Yi had carefully studied various medical classics, and found that Hua Tuo's invention of Mafeisan was all highly praised by surgeons in the past dynasties.

But it is regrettable that this rumored anesthetic decoction has long been lost. Wu Yi has searched through several medical classics, but has not found a complete prescription for Mafeisan.

Datura, poppy and other anesthetic herbs are commonly used in surgery nowadays, but aside from the anesthetic effect of these herbs, their toxicity and addiction are already a big problem. If these herbs are introduced into the prescription, it is said that It might be a catastrophe.

Wu Yi didn't want to bring opium to China in advance.

Since returning from the Silla front, Wu Yi has been wanting to re-study a prescription that is neither addictive nor can achieve anesthesia effect. Unfortunately, he has been entangled with many things and has never had enough time and proper timing.

Now that I have arrived in Yuzhou City, which is a corner of the mountains and rivers, I am reminded of this important matter again.

"What Mr. Xu said is exactly what disturbed me." He looked at Xu Jie, who was frowning slightly, but smiled slightly, "But I think it depends on human effort. Since Hua Tuo can invent Mafeisan, why can't we redevelop it?" How about a prescription for anesthesia?"
