Appendicitis is a very common acute abdominal disease in modern times, and many people are familiar with it. In modern times with advanced medical technology, patients with acute appendicitis can be cured by surgical removal of the appendix.
But in ancient times, appendicitis was an extremely dangerous disease. Because its main manifestation is abdominal pain, the ancients named abdominal intestinal diseases such as appendicitis "carbuncle" based on the symptoms.
The "Jin Yi Yao Lue" of the Han Dynasty recorded the symptoms of modern appendicitis as follows: The occurrence of intestinal carbuncle is due to the invasion of external evils and heat in the intestines; improper eating and drinking, which damages the spleen and stomach; running around in a hurry after eating a full meal or worrying and irritating , Qi movement is blocked, etc., resulting in failure of intestinal conduction, qi and blood stasis, septicemia and turbid qi, dampness and heat accumulation in the intestines, resulting in intestinal carbuncle. If the heat poison is too strong, the flesh will rot and turn into pus.
The general meaning is intestinal carbuncle disease, which can be divided into two stages, before suppuration and after suppuration. Before suppuration, intestinal carbuncle can be relieved or cured with decoctions, but once suppuration occurs, it is almost acute appendicitis. The patient will be in unbearable pain and difficult to treat with medicine or stone. In other words, there is only a dead end!
We must know that appendicitis is the disease with the highest incidence among children, both in modern times and in ancient times. This is mainly because the appendix in children is small, the appendiceal cavity is not easy to clear, and fecal stones or infection are prone to occur, which ultimately leads to the occurrence of appendicitis. . In ancient times when medical conditions were extremely underdeveloped, the mortality rate for people suffering from acute appendicitis was over 99%. In ancient times, many children died young before they were minors. In fact, this has a lot to do with it!
At first, Li Zexuan didn't know that what Sun Simiao and the others said was acute appendicitis. Instead, he remembered that when Sun Simiao pressed the child's right lower abdomen and the child felt abnormal pain, Li Zexuan realized that in his previous life, a classmate of his in the junior high school dormitory had... I had this symptom before, and luckily I was sent to the hospital in time.
"Appendicitis? What is appendicitis~?"
After hearing Li Zexuan's inexplicable words, Xuan Qing and Sun Simiao couldn't help but wonder.
"Ahem! No! It's nothing!"
Li Zexuan knew that he had made a mistake, and secretly thought that people in the Tang Dynasty did not know what appendicitis was. He wanted to "attribute" all this to his master Lingxu Zhenren, but Xuanqing was still here, how could he dare to talk nonsense again? So he coughed twice to cover up, and then said:
"I just think that this child might be saved!"
Once said, it was earth-shattering!
As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, the eyes of the middle-aged couple suddenly fell on Li Zexuan, and they burst out with strong hope. The woman made a "pop" sound, knelt down directly in front of Li Zexuan, and prayed: "Please, sir." Please save my eldest son, as long as my son can survive, the two of us are willing to work as cows, horses, and even slaves for the master. I beg you to save my eldest son~!"
"Please save my Zhong'er, Mr. Zhang. I am willing to give all my life to Mr. Zhang!"
The big man also wanted to kneel down and pray to Li Zexuan, but because he was still holding the dying little boy on his arm, he could only reluctantly bow to Li Zexuan.
The couple had just arrived in Chang'an City from other places, and naturally they had never met Li Zexuan, so they did not know that Li Zexuan was the founder of this medical clinic and the real king of Lantian County!
Xuanqing's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Xuan, the disease of intestinal carbuncle turning into pus is not a trivial matter. Don't make false claims. If the diagnosis and treatment are not good, they will only be more sad!"
Many times, people are not afraid of despair at first sight, but are afraid of the situation that just gives you a little hope, but makes you despair again!
Xuan Qing's intention was to warn Li Zexuan, never give hope to a desperate person when you are not completely sure, otherwise once hope turns into despair, it will be extremely cruel to that person!
Sun Simiao also nodded solemnly and said: "That's right! Xiaoxuan! For those whose intestinal abscesses have turned into pus, relying solely on the power of ordinary medicinal stones is of little use unless you have a supreme recipe or other means!"
Looking at Xuan Qing and Sun Simiao, and then at the middle-aged couple who looked at him with pleading eyes, Li Zexuan said firmly: "Uncle Junior Master, Taoist Master Sun, there is indeed a way to cure this child's intestinal tract. It’s a suppurative carbuncle, but I need your cooperation!”
Hearing Li Zexuan speak in an unusually firm tone, it didn't sound like he was joking at all. Sun Simiao and Xuan Qing both looked serious and said, "If there is such a method, Pindao (Uncle Master) will certainly be willing to help with all his strength!"
Li Zexuan nodded, then stepped forward in person, used a soft inner force to help the middle-aged women up, and solemnly said: "Ben (Hou)... I have a way to save your children, but I don't have a 100% chance of saving your children." Be sure, if you fail, your child will die immediately, are you willing to give it a try?"
Although the method that Li Zexuan had in mind has a high success rate in modern society and is basically foolproof, in ancient times when medical conditions were extremely backward, he could not completely guarantee that this method would be successful.
Before the middle-aged women had time to wonder why Li Zexuan's hand was not touching them, they were lifted up from the ground. They heard the "life and death decision" given by Li Zexuan. For a moment, both of them were shocked. He froze in place.
After all, it is about the life and death of their own flesh and blood, and no parent can bear to make such a decision.
But seeing Li Zexuan fluttering in white clothes, and although he looked young, he had an outstanding and demeanor that was like an immortal. When he thought about how he seemed to be lifted up by a vague force earlier, the middle-aged man couldn't help but He opened his mouth and said:
"This young master, we are willing to do it for the rest of our lives! Regardless of success or failure, Zhang is willing to spend all his wealth and work hard to repay the young master for saving his life today!"
Anyway, even the current genius doctor Sun Simiao is helpless to deal with his child's condition. It is better to let this young man with extraordinary temperament give it a try. And judging from Sun Simiao's attitude towards the young man in front of him, he seems to have some respect. Is this young man really excellent in medical skills
The middle-aged man thought so in his heart.
This is self-comfort, and it also gives yourself confidence.
"The child's father..."
The middle-aged woman's eyes turned red and she stopped talking.
The middle-aged man nodded and whispered: "My dear, believe me, believe this young master, and believe that our family Wen Zhongji will be able to survive this test!"
With tears in her eyes, the woman finally nodded heavily and said, "Yes! I believe Dalang will be fine!"
After seeing the two of them discussing and making a decision, Li Zexuan decisively ordered: "Okay! Now that you two have made a decision, Daochang Sun and I will start treatment immediately! Give the child to me quickly!"
"Eh!"
The middle-aged man also knew that time was running out, and quickly handed the little boy who had fainted from pain in his arms into Li Zexuan's hands. Li Zexuan turned around and ordered: "As expected, you take them to register, and then go outside to transfer my name to Jia." Call in the slave of E's house!"
The Jia'e he mentioned was Sakyadu'e, which was regarded as the new name of Sakyadu'e after he became his domestic slave.
"Yes! Master!"
Hu, who had just returned from comforting the patients outside the hospital, responded unexpectedly, then turned around and whispered to the middle-aged couple: "You two, come with me~!"
"Hey! Helpful girl!"
The middle-aged couple reluctantly glanced at their child in Li Zexuan's arms, and then followed Hu Jing to register.
"Daozhang Sun, find a bright and clean ward, and we will treat this child immediately~!"
Li Zexuan said to Sun Simiao again.
Sun Simiao nodded quickly and responded: "Okay! Xiaoxuan, come with me~!"
"Master Hou, can I watch from the sidelines?"
At this time, a clear female voice came, and Ge Qingyue was looking at her eagerly.
Not only her, but Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang all looked here expectantly. It turned out that what happened in the lobby on the first floor quickly spread throughout the medical center, and many "attending physicians" came to watch the excitement. . At this time, they all wanted to know how Li Zexuan would treat the "incurable disease" recognized in this era!
"Doctors who don't have urgent patients can observe from the sidelines, but they need to change into clean clothes!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Zexuan spoke.
Because the next "surgery" is also a great opportunity for the doctors at Datang United Medical Center to improve their medical skills!
"Hehe! Thank you very much, Chief!"
Hearing this, Ge Qingyue had a rare moment of cuteness, but it gave Li Zexuan goosebumps all over his body, secretly thinking that only Cheng Chumo could tolerate this girl!
"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"
Soon, under the leadership of Sun Simiao, Li Zexuan carried the child to a ward on the south side of the second floor. After placing the child on the bed, Du'e happened to arrive.
As Li Zexuan's domestic slave, he has always followed Li Zexuan, but today Li Zexuan came to Lantian County with Xuan Qing. He was still a little afraid of Xuan Qing, so he could only follow him secretly, but how could he hide this? Beyond the perception of Li Zexuan and Xuan Qing? It’s just that the two of them didn’t tell the truth!
"Do you have the kind of Yaochi holy water here that can make people sleepy and temporarily lose their sense of pain?"
Li Zexuan asked Ge Qingyue to prepare the knives, alcohol and other things needed for the operation, then walked towards Du'e and asked in a low voice.
In the past, Tianlong Sect's Yaochi holy water was made from poppy produced in Tianzhu. In addition to being used to make opium and making people addictive, this poppy also has extremely high medicinal value, such as analgesic, or making Anesthetic!
Du'e was able to conjure the holy water of Yaochi before to confuse the people, and he also had the ability to turn water into ice. In addition, he also knew that mixing sulfur and charcoal can easily ignite and explode, which shows that he is not only a magic stick, but also a person who is proficient in some physics and pharmacology. , Warlock of the Way of Chemistry.
The big reason why Li Zexuan chose not to kill Du'e was because of this!
At this time, he had to use anesthesia to operate on the little boy, so he placed his hope on the warlock Sakyamuni.
Du'e still didn't know the whole story. Hearing this, he shook his head subconsciously and said: "Master Hou, this poor monk has handed over all the harmful things such as the sacred water of Yaochi, and he will never dare to hide his secrets..."
He thought Li Zexuan was testing him.
Li Zexuan frowned, waved his hand and said: "I am not harming people now, but saving people. If you have what I just mentioned, take it out as soon as possible. Doesn't your Buddhist sect say that saving one life is better than building seven levels?" Pagoda? Today you saved this young man, which can be regarded as alleviating some of the sins you committed before~!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the boy lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Du'e breathed out, and then a trace of hesitation quickly flashed across his face. After a moment, he gritted his teeth, as if he had finally made a decision, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Li Zexuan and said, "Master Hou, , there are three pills in it, which are made from the fruit of Diyega. Taking one pill will make you lose consciousness within an hour. The poor monk has tried it before. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the person who takes it will return to normal. perception!"
Li Zexuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the porcelain bottle from Duan'e's hand, and couldn't help but said: "Ha! I knew you would hide your secrets! But this time you not only have no fault, I will also remember you!"
"Amitabha!"
Du'e held a Buddhist gift in one hand and couldn't help but glance at the little boy on the hospital bed. In the past, he only had killing in his heart, but he has experienced ups and downs in life, especially getting along with Li Zexuan. After meeting the people around Li Zexuan for many days, he realized that the world was not full of sin, but that some people and places were full of great love.
So Du'e's character has changed a lot. Now he only thinks about atonement and alleviation of his sins!
"Xiao Xuan! I heard you say that Yaochi Holy Water can eat away at people's bodies and is addictive. This porcelain bottle of yours has the same origin as Yaochi Holy Water. How can you use it for medicine?"
Xuanqing was a half-step master, so the words Li Zexuan and Du E whispered before naturally fell into his ears word for word, so his expression changed slightly, he pulled Li Zexuan and spoke in a deep voice.
Li Zexuan had to explain: "Uncle Master, everything in the world has two sides. Some medicines are poisons in some cases, but they are life-saving medicines in other cases! The holy water of Tianlong Sect's Yaochi is made of poppy, which can People feel numb and feel good for a while. Long-term use is indeed harmful to the human body, but this thing can make people forget the pain for a short time. It can be used to analgesia for patients! This is equivalent to the effect of Huatuo Mafei Powder!
In order to quickly cure this young man's disease, he must open his lower right abdomen and remove the purulent intestine. If we don't find a way to eliminate this young man's pain, I'm afraid he will die of pain! Therefore, this pill must be taken by him! Rest assured, this medication is not addictive in small amounts! "
"What? You mean to cut open the child's lower abdomen?"
Before Xuan Qing could be shocked by Li Zexuan's theory that "poison can also save people", he was stunned by Li Zexuan's last words. He couldn't help but exclaimed.
