Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Wu Yi put down the work at hand for the time being, and chatted with the students all over the place, which was considered to understand the local conditions of Yuzhou.

He has been under Shen Hanshan's school for many years, although he didn't acquire that unruly appearance, but he also stole a three-point casual and free-spirited temper, and he didn't care too much about the superficial etiquette of the seniority of teachers and students, so he didn't show it off in front of these students. Put on the air of a high-ranking teacher.

The students also began to realize that this new medical assistant was not only as well-informed as rumored, but also had a gentle and elegant demeanor. He was not like Xu Jie's ice cube, and naturally became more friendly and willing to do anything. Talk to him.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager is about to send troops to destroy the Xiao family's army. I don't know who will be appointed to lead the army. Mr. Wu, you just came from Chang'an, do you know any news?"

Wu Yi shook his head.

In the Daming Palace, knowing more means making more mistakes.

The students drove away in disappointment without any gossip from the young teaching assistant.

Only then did Wu Yi get away from the crowd, return to Xu Jie's side, and pick up the work at hand again.

"How about this time?" he asked.

"The big dog is sleeping quite quietly." Xu Jie raised his head, his eyes swept over the backs of the students in the distance, "It's just the little puppies next to them who are barking too loudly."

"Puppy's are all leather, they will be honest when they grow up." Wu Yi pretended not to understand the sarcasm in these words.

Looking at these young students from afar, he couldn't help but think of his little apprentice in Chang'an.

Li Jing should have reached such a noisy age, right?I don't know if he has made any friends, and is there anyone to play and laugh with him?

Thinking of his little apprentice who had always been a loner, Wu Yi couldn't help but look up at Chang'an, as if he could see the back of Li Jing's tough and upright young man.

The wind from the south stirred his hair, and sent his far-sighted vision and faint thoughts to the far north.

-

After sighing with emotion, Wu Yi had to continue with the work at hand.

Wu Yi and Xu Jie have been experimenting persistently for nearly a month. The final prescription for anesthesia has not yet been determined, but they have researched a hundred ways to eat dog meat.

"If we continue to eat like this, we will have porridge next month." After getting along with Wu Yi for a while, Xu Jie was able to tell a few jokes.

"It's time to eat some light Jianghuo." Wu Yi laughed with him.

After laughing, the two fell into a long silence.

In fact, the prescriptions for anesthesia have been roughly drawn up, and the experiments on dogs have been done with certainty, but they have never been used on humans, so I dare not make a plan without authorization.

"If it really doesn't work, let me 'try it out' once and then I'll know if I can do it." Xu Jie said.

Wu Yi shook his head resolutely: "If I want to come, I should come. If something happens to me, brother Xu can clean up the situation. But if something happens to brother Xu, this official school will not be able to continue."

The two were vying to be the first guinea pig, when suddenly there was the sound of rainy footsteps at the door, a panting young man trotted over from the door, and when they saw each other, he threw himself on his knees in front of them.

"I beg the two divine doctors to save my master."

"Your master, isn't she Miss Qin?" Wu Yi didn't recognize this person, but Xu Jie knew it. Seeing this young fellow walking in a hurry, he already said something bad in his heart, so he quickly grasped the point and asked, "Why does she gone?"

The young man didn't catch his breath, and said like a counting bead: "Oh, Ma'am, I drank your medicine last time, but within three or four days, there really was something like a toad that came out with the blood. It’s still there until today, and I don’t know if it’s been cleaned up. Today, for some reason, Madam suddenly said that she saw Hong and shed some blood.

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed violently to Wu Yi and Xu Jie: "I beg you two genius doctors to come over to our house and take a look, so that I can do business."

Wu Yi's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xu Jie, and sure enough, he also had hidden worry in his eyes.

"Take us to see your wife quickly."

The young servant made a hasty cry, and then led the two of them into the carriage guarded outside, riding fast all the way, but within a short time, they had already driven to the front of the Qin residence.

At the gate of the Qin Mansion stood a slender young man, with his slender neck stretched from side to side, looking anxiously around like a groundhog just out of its hole.

Seeing the carriages and horses coming back, he immediately stepped forward, opened the curtain of the car, and saw that the two medical assistants had been invited, and the heart that was jumping up and down in the chest was finally settled down.

He stroked his heart, secretly said Amitabha, and quickly asked the two doctors to get out of the car.

"Second Master Qin, what's going on?" Xu Jie briefly asked about his illness while following him quickly.

Where did Qin Er dare to hide anything, it was just the few words that the boy confessed, and he said it again like a car wheel.

The three hurried to Mrs. Qin's ward, and they couldn't even hear the sound of moaning and turning, only the empty singing of birds mixed with the noisy and screaming voices of women and girls pierced people's ears like needlepoints.

"Quickly, quickly, go and invite the Nanshan Immortal to make it! You, quickly pour this bowl of incense ash to Madam to drink!"

"What to drink?" Xu Jie didn't hesitate to open the curtain, snatched the water bowl from the old woman's hand, and smashed it on the table with a bang, "If this kind of thing is useful, we, doctors, need to do it. What?"

He was originally stern, so it was good that he didn't raise his eyebrows and eyes, but when he raised them, it was like a sword coming out of its sheath, as if it was about to cut off a layer of human skin.

Under such frosty eyes, the old lady swallowed the anger she had been holding in her heart, and just smiled sarcastically: "This is the old rule of ours. When you come, it is naturally you." After all, I'm going out now!"

After speaking, he took three steps and two steps, and quickly retreated outside the curtain.

The people inside saw Xu Jie throwing his club there like an iceberg, who dared to say more, they all hung their heads in silence, waiting for this little famous genius doctor to speak.

Wu Yi also rushed to the bed one step later, seeing Xu Jie taking the pulse of Mrs. Qin through the bed curtain, and directly rolled up the bed curtain to observe the patient's condition.

"Master, this..."

"What about this and that, it's time for people's lives to be at stake." Qin Er simply waved away the girl who was fine, and cupped his hands at Wu Yi, "As long as the husband can save my wife, I will do the usual chores." Husband's burden, you two absolutely don't have to think about it."

Wu Yi hurriedly nodded to him: I will do my best.

He lifted Lady Qin's eyelids to see, she was indeed pale without a trace of blood, and then lifted the quilt to look down, the blood had already soaked through several thick sheets.

When I met Xu Jie's eyes, I knew that the situation was very bad.

This is the worst and deadliest kind of ghost fetus, uterine rupture and hemorrhage.

At this point, it is impossible for the decoction to save the patient's life. The only way is to remove the uterus by caesarean section to get a chance of survival.

"What, a caesarean section?"

Although Qin Er had heard of Wu Yi's name, he never expected that the treatment of the princess would fall on his wife, and he panicked for a moment: "Isn't that very painful?"

Xu Jie and Wu Yi looked at each other before turning to Qin Er: "Now we have invented a new prescription, which can relieve pain and anesthesia, so as to ensure that your wife will not feel pain, but this prescription has not been used by anyone, so please Second Master Qin, think carefully about whether you want to take this risk."

Qin Er looked at the two doctors with serious faces, and his voice couldn't help shaking: "Dare to ask you two, how sure are you?"

This time it was Wu Yi who came to answer him. He has explained this question many times in modern times.

"There are only two consequences right now - if it is cured, it will be life, and if it is miscalculated, it will be death. There is no compromise. So even if we are [-]% sure, you must be prepared for the rest, Do you get me?"

"But if you don't have a laparotomy..."

"It's a narrow escape."

Qin Er seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt in the air, and his whole body was a little shaky and unable to stand. He could only hold on to the carved pear wood table and barely stabilized his mind.

"There is another thing you have to think about." Wu Yi had another thing to tell the young husband, "Once the uterus is removed, she will not be able to bear children for you in this life."

Qin Er's expression was shocked, and the cold wind passed by outside the window, blowing out the hope that had been lit in his heart for many years.

"Is...is there really no other way?"

"If there is another way, we are definitely not willing to go to this point." Wu Yi looked deeply at the man in a dilemma before him, and solemnly reminded him, "But if the uterus is not removed, she will definitely not be able to live, let alone To bear children for you, whether she should die or live, is all in your mind."

Qin Er murmured for a moment with his trembling lips, and finally uttered a word: "Okay."

Even if he can no longer have children, it will be the wife he personally married with three matchmakers and six hires. She is someone who wants to grow old with him, not a tool for bearing children.

Others see him as a fierce wife, but he alone knows why his wife has become so tough and fierce. If it wasn't for his incompetence as a husband, why would he need a strong wife like her?

It's time for him to be decisive.

Wu Yi and Xu Jie saw that although his complexion was pale, but his eyes were full of determination, they hurriedly wrote down the prescription that had just been revised this morning——

Saponin, wood turtle seed, Bauhinia bark, Angelica dahurica, Pinellia, Wuyao, Chuanxiong, Angelica, Chuanwu 1 liang each, anise, fennel, and Aconitum [-] liang each, woody [-] qian.For the future, two dollars per serving. [[-]]

"You quickly took this recipe to fry, remember, you must be fast!"

Qin Er made up his mind and didn't delay at all. He took the prescription and ordered someone to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. After a while, he brought out a bowl of hot soup.

Wu Yiyi had already prepared the lancet in his hand, and when the blade turned, a silver light flashed.
