In the tent, Gro was still lying on the ground, with blood oozing from the wound. Pandora on the side was doing nothing, constantly biting the tip of the silver fork in her mouth.
Richard took a look, took out a bottle of alcohol from his arms, walked to Grotto and squatted down, and began to treat Grotto's wounds.
After the high concentration of alcohol, even in a coma, Gro frowned and looked extremely painful.
But Richard didn't care, as if he was playing with a dead object, operating it coldly and meticulously. After finally treating the other party's wounds, Richard looked at Pandora and stretched out his hand, palm facing up.
"Scared?" Pandora asked, confused.
"Give me what you have in your mouth." Richard said.
"Scared!" Pandora frowned and refused.
Richard was a little helpless: "I'm useful, I need to use it temporarily, no big deal, I'll give it to you when I'm done with it."
After hearing this, Pandora was still a little reluctant, but finally opened her mouth, took out the silver fork tip and put it in Richard's hand.
After Richard took it, he sterilized the tip of the silver fork and the two blood vessels taken out from the horse corpse with alcohol. He then fixed the tip of the silver fork at the end of the thinner blood vessel to make a needle thread and pointed it at the wound on Gro's abdomen. Just stab it in and start sewing.
Yes, suturing, surgical suturing.
To be honest, surgical suturing does not have any high-tech content. It only requires suitable needles and suitable threads.
Needles are generally made of bone or metal, including animal bones, fish bones, silver, copper, and aluminum. In the long history of thread, many materials have been adopted, including flax, hemp, cotton and other plant materials, as well as animal materials such as tendons, catgut, arteries and so on.
Generally speaking, plant materials cannot be absorbed by the human body, so after suturing, the sutures need to be removed when the wound heals, which is troublesome and prone to inflammation and infection. Animal materials are relatively superior and can be absorbed by the human body, so there is no need to worry about stitches being removed later. However, generally speaking, some animal materials such as tendons and catgut require a certain amount of time and special processing before they can be used. Considering various factors, Richard finally chose arteries. It is for this reason that horses are killed.
Killing a horse and saving a person is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Of course, Richard knew that the man named Bill Caesar might not think so. After all, the horse was his.
After thinking about it, Richard began to suture Gro's wound that had temporarily stopped bleeding.
There are also many key points in wound suturing, such as layer-by-layer alignment from deep to shallow, free side first and then fixed side, needle spacing slightly smaller than the subcutaneous spacing, etc.
Regarding these, Richard had a certain amount of knowledge and there was nothing to make mistakes in the operation. He sutured the wound in a short time and restored Gro's abandoned belly to its original state.
After seeing it, the nobles inside and outside the tent didn't know what to say, because Richard's methods were far beyond their knowledge.
Sew up the cut belly? Is this a spell? Well, it must be a spell!
This is not caused by the shallow knowledge of many nobles, but because medieval medicine is too rough and direct, and such things to suture wounds almost do not exist.
In the Middle Ages, the most common way to treat diseases and injuries was bloodletting. Barbers, priests, and monks who were part-time doctors would try their best to use rusty lancets to cut your blood vessels and bleed you.
Dizziness? It's okay, just let some blood flow.
nausea? It's okay, just let some blood flow.
Injured, unconscious from blood loss? It's okay, just let some blood flow.
Is there anything in this world that bloodletting cannot solve? It’s a joke, it’s impossible, it must be because there wasn’t enough blood! If it doesn't work once, do it twice. If that doesn't work, put dozens or hundreds of blood-sucking leeches into the skin for a powerful bloodletting treatment. If you die accidentally, well, don't be angry, it must not be the fault of the bloodletting, it must be that you deserve to die in the first place.
In this way, many people who could have survived were bled to death by half-hearted medieval doctors, including many nobles and even kings. In modern earth history, King Charles II of England, and later the founding president of the United States, George Washington, were bled to death in this way.
Of course, if you really feel that bloodletting is too weak and want to find a truly capable and knowledgeable doctor to treat you, that’s fine.
If your limbs are seriously injured or infected, famous doctors will amputate them for you rationally. The tool for amputation is a saw. Since there is no anesthesia, in order to minimize your pain, he will cut off your hands and feet as quickly as possible. In the history of modern earth, the most famous one is a doctor called "Liston Flying Knife", and his famous work is an operation:
That day, he was amputating a patient's leg. He performed steadily and easily removed the patient's leg in just two minutes. Maybe I thought it was not enough, but during the process, I cut off the fingers of the assistant who was pressing the patient next to me, and also scratched the skin of a doctor who came here to visit.
The doctor who came to visit was frightened to death on the spot. The patient who lost his leg and the assistant who lost his finger died one after another due to gangrene infection.
Therefore, the "Liston Flying Knife" used one operation to create a mortality rate of 300%, which is unprecedented and unprecedented. With such a famous doctor here, no matter what the disease is, it can be guaranteed to be cured.
In addition to the "Liston Flying Knife", there are other famous doctors in the Middle Ages showing off their special skills: for example, hanging you up and forcibly washing your stomach with water; spreading your buttocks and using a hot iron to treat hemorrhoids; again Open your butt, insert a needle, and inject medicine into you through an enema; or, "open up your skull and cut out a few holes to help reduce the trauma of a heavy blow to your head." …
In a world like the Middle Ages, if a person wants to live well, he must never get sick or get hurt. If you accidentally get sick or injured, you must avoid the doctor, otherwise you will die without rebirth.
In this case, Gro's stomach was cut open. Although he had not yet died, the nobles already felt that there was not much hope of survival. Now Richard actually stopped the bleeding and stitched it up. This...
This is definitely a wizard's spell!
Richard had no time to pay attention to the shocked people. After suturing Gro's wound, he began to prepare for blood transfusion.
Turning to look outside the tent, Bill Kaiser, who had been sent to look for feathers before, walked in with a handful of feathers, stopped a few meters away, then gently placed the feathers on the table next to him, and then quickly exited the tent with a pair of feathers. He looked like he was afraid of getting into any more trouble.
Without saying anything else, Richard walked over and checked the feathers, and finally selected two that were more in line with his expectations. He used the sword he got from Bill Caesar and lightly whittled them into two hollow feathers. The quills, by sharpening the ends, become two sharp needles.
After sterilizing the two needles, insert them into the thicker horse artery that has not been used yet, and a blood transfusion tube is made - a very simple but usable blood transfusion tube.
The next step is to find a suitable blood source.
