However, the people in Wenren’s eldest house probably also knew about it. This is not just a secret recipe. It is normal to conceal it, and it would be strange if they could say it casually.
However, on the other hand, opening the head and taking out the blood clots from it to cure the disease, and in the end the person is still alive, no matter how shocking the act itself is, with such miraculous skills, Wen Renxuan's title of "miracle doctor" is definitely established.
Although they all had full faith in her medical skills and even regarded her as the leader in this field, after the initial shock, they gradually began to have some hidden expectations in their hearts and wanted to witness her create miracles with their own eyes.
Of course, those present were not only people from the Wenren family's main house, but also Xiaocao's close maids, and Miss Xu's maid. Xiaocao wanted to let her know that even if she had some inappropriate thoughts, she didn't have to worry about her causing any trouble.
After explaining what needed to be said, Xiaocao asked the maid to bring Miss Xu's maid in to shave Miss Xu's hair, and to be especially careful with the injured area. Since it was a craniotomy, the hair would definitely not be saved, and there was nothing that could be done about it. If the operation was successful, when Miss Xu woke up and saw her appearance, she would hopefully not collapse.
Once completed, the operation can almost officially begin.
The people from the Wen family wanted to watch, but were rejected by Xiaocao.
Han was a little dissatisfied and said that last time when she was reconnecting the leg bones for King Dingbei, she saw with her own eyes that she sawed and filed the bones. That was all. Even if it was a skull opening, it couldn't be more unbearable than that scene.
"Mom, craniotomy is different from bone setting. If I am affected in the slightest, or my hand deviates by even a tiny bit, it could be fatal. So, this is not a question of whether you can tolerate it or not." Although Xiaocao was self-controlled and focused on the operation, no matter how loud the noise was, it would not disturb her, but one had to be prepared for the worst. An absolutely quiet environment would naturally be better.
Everyone knows that human life is at stake, so naturally no one will be stubborn on this point.
"It will take a long time, Dad and Mom, you should go back and rest early."
Wenren Taibo waved his hand first, "I know what you are doing, how can you fall asleep easily? Just do your thing and don't worry about us. We will take care of other things. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, we will never let other things affect you."
In this case, Xiaocao didn't say anything, nodded, turned into the house and closed the door. In the end, Xiaocao called another maid who was the bravest, and she was mainly responsible for wiping Xiaocao's sweat.
Xiaocao used both acupuncture anesthesia and drug anesthesia on Miss Xu. Previous tests showed that she was not allergic to anesthetics, but even so, she still did not choose to use only drugs.
Because it is uncertain how big the hematoma is, the size of the incision cannot be completely determined. However, this does not matter much to Xiaocao. As long as it is moderate, she can complete the operation even if it is not big enough. She has marked the location of the craniotomy and carried out disinfection.
However, when it came time to actually do the work, Xiaocao turned his head to look at the primitive tools, the hand drill that he had prepared long ago, the thin saw blades, scissors of various shapes, the "suction device", and other things. There was no bipolar coagulation, so he could only use a knife, so he had to be extra careful not to touch the blood vessels.
Although Xiaocao had never used the hand drill on anyone, he had practiced with it countless times on other people.
The risk is huge, really, and Xiaocao can't say how confident she is, but once she really picks up the tools, she doesn't hesitate at all.
Wei Tingyu looked at these tools with a puzzled expression, because these things were actually prepared by him according to Xiaocao's drawings. At that time, he was still wondering what his Xuan'er, a medical student, needed these things for. Later, he never saw Xiaocao use them. However, these things have always been carefully maintained, and today, he finally knows their purpose.
His mind was mixed with thoughts, as if he was thinking about a lot, and yet thinking about nothing. After a brief moment of distraction, Wei Tingyu concentrated his attention. Sitting in a wheelchair would not prevent him from being a qualified assistant.
Time passed by little by little, but the people inside were so nervous that they didn't feel it at all, especially as crises occurred more than once. Xiaocao asked Wei Tingyu to help inject special medicines twice, and she herself was not at ease on those few occasions because of the high concentration and the weather. She was already sweating and had to wipe it off every few days. Fortunately, even though the maid was nervous, nothing went wrong. She just wiped the sweat off her body, and her hands became more and more steady.
In the final analysis, it is because there are too few people. The three people around him can only serve as assistants, and the others are of no help at all. Xiaocao has to be precise, fast, and decisive. If there is a problem, it must be solved immediately, which consumes a lot of energy.
This should be the most difficult and stressful operation Xiaocao has ever had, including in his previous life. In fact, if it were in his previous life, this operation would not be a big deal because medical conditions were too important.
The people waiting outside seemed anxious and nervous, feeling that this time was particularly unbearable. It was just as Wenren Taibo said, they couldn't sleep at all. Several younger ones were sent back by the couple to sleep, but they came back not long after, so they simply ignored them.
Wen Renying was not as calm as the others. She asked about the time every once in a while. Even though they were quite far from the "operating room", she lowered her voice unconsciously. Then, she learned that not long had passed. "Why is time passing so slowly?"
In fact, in an operation like this, the ones who should be really anxious and nervous should be the patient's family members. However, because Xiaocao and the others concealed the truth, the people at Duke Xu's Mansion knew nothing and were able to have an easy time. On the contrary, the people from the Wen family, because it was the first time they had encountered such a thing, experienced more serious tension than the family members. Even though they knew that the operation would not be successful in the end, it didn't matter.
Until the maid came to inform them that the fourth young lady had finished, several people from the Wenren family's main house even trotted over without caring about their image. When they saw Xiaocao, who looked tired but had a smile on her face, they knew without asking that it was a success!
The joy at that moment was like a tide that overwhelmed everyone. They no longer thought about things like "shocking and unacceptable to the world". They were simply happy that the grass had created such a miracle.
"We can't be too relieved now. We are still in the danger period. We can't be careless for at least three days. A crisis may occur at any time. By the way, how long did it take?"
"About two and a half hours."
"It took so long." Xiaocao murmured softly. It took five hours to complete a task that should have taken two or three hours. However, thinking of the final result, Xiaocao was still very happy even though it took a long time. Although there were still severe tests ahead, Xiaocao was not afraid at all. This success was equivalent to opening the door. "In that case, you should go back and rest early."
"Xuan'er, you should take a rest quickly."
"I know, mother, don't worry about me." Xiaocao turned her head to look at Wei Tingyu, "Tingyu you..."
"I've already made other arrangements for him, Xuan'er, you don't have to worry." Han said immediately.
Well, seeing that Han was going to guard against it, Xiaocao was helpless. However, she took a medicinal bath last night and slept well at night. She took medicine normally today. After the operation, Xiaocao saw him again as soon as possible and he was fine. Naturally, she accepted her mother's arrangement. And Miss Xu, who had the operation, was placed in the room next to the "operating room", which was originally connected.
Xiaocao will live in another connected room at night to deal with any emergencies that may occur at any time.
The room is simply decorated. The only big item is the bed, which is a narrow bed with a high shelf like a hospital bed. It is impossible to create a sterile environment, so the simpler the better. The cleaning must be done very carefully, and the best that can be done.
He instructed the maids to take turns guarding, because he had always intended to teach them these things. Although it had only been theory before, now there were finally patients for them to practice on, and the maids were extremely cautious.
"You guys have to work hard tonight. If anything happens, call me immediately, no matter how big or small it is. After all, you haven't experienced it yet, so it's hard for you to judge. Maybe you'll see more in the future and be able to make some judgments on your own. You'll know when a situation requires me and when you can handle it yourself."
Naturally, none of them disagreed. They knew that their girls were extraordinary and had always been committed to following them. If they could learn more, perhaps one day in the future, their status would be different.
This operation consumed too much of Xiaocao's energy, so after giving the instructions, she simply washed up, went to bed, and soon fell asleep. The operation did not have any impact on her.
From then until dawn, Xiaocao was woken up three or four times. Although they were just minor problems, Xiaocao did not blame the maids. Instead, she patiently told them what the situation was. It should be said that the people chosen by Han were all the best. They were smart, motivated, and naturally learned quickly.
For Xiaocao, this was definitely a bad night of rest. However, perhaps because of the patient, she was full of energy when she was seen again in the morning.
Originally, we wanted to go to the clinic to check on her, but the situation was special now and no one knew if anything would happen during the time she happened to be out, which would make all our efforts go to waste. So, we simply sent someone to the clinic to pick her up.
After Xiaocao had breakfast, the maid ran in in surprise, not caring about the rules, "Miss, Miss Xu is awake!"
Xiaocao always checked on Miss Xu's condition and made careful medical records, so she naturally knew her condition. It was not surprising that she woke up at this moment. Even so, Xiaocao still quickly went to the "ward".
Beside the bed, Miss Xu's maid cried with joy and told her incoherently what had happened in the past two days. Of course, she didn't mention anything about the craniotomy.
Although Miss Xu woke up, her body was weak and powerless. After all, the anesthetic had not completely worn off. Xiao Cao had modified the anesthetic based on the original one, so that the effect was not so terrible, so that this person could wake up so quickly.
Xiaocao came in and checked on Miss Xu, confirming that she was conscious and in good condition.
"Thank you." Miss Xu almost uttered these two words through her lips.
Xiao Cao curled her lips and smiled, "Thank me? It would be better to wait until you are sure of your current situation before deciding whether to thank me or not."
There was surprise in Miss Xu's eyes. What else needs to be confirmed
Afterwards, Xiao Cao changed the dressing for Miss Xu. She probably realized something belatedly. She raised her hand with some effort and touched it. It seemed that her beautiful black hair was gone? !
Seeing that Miss Xu looked a little confused, Xiao Cao spoke up, "Your condition is very dangerous. If you don't take special treatment, you won't survive more than three days. Open your skull and remove the lesion inside. Do you understand?"
Miss Xu paused for a long time before she nodded slightly. Even so, there was still disbelief in her eyes.
People in the world believe that "the body and hair are given by parents, and we dare not damage them." Shaving all the hair and leaving a hole on the head is more than just unfilial. "I don't know if Miss Xu can accept it, but life is precious..."
Miss Xu was having trouble speaking now. She moved her hands. Xiaocao stretched out her hand, and she held it and squeezed it gently, "Thank you."
Xiao Cao immediately understood what she meant and couldn't help but laugh. It would be best if the patient could accept the situation. The only thing he feared was being pedantic and rigid. After finally saving him, he tried to commit suicide again. That was really...
"Your current condition is pretty good. You should be able to get through the critical period soon. After you recover, your hair will slowly grow out. Before that, you can use a wig. It won't affect anything."
"The prince's wife is looking for a marriage partner for the girl." The maid next to her couldn't help but say.
When this was mentioned, Miss Xu's eyes dimmed a little, and it seemed that she was clear about some things.
Xiaocao patted Miss Xu's hand and said, "Take good care of yourself now. Recovery is the most important thing. We can talk about the rest later." Even if she knew roughly what kind of person the wife of the Duke Xu's son was, that was someone else's family affair. Xiaocao naturally couldn't say anything. She just needed to do what she should do.
"Miss Wenren, how long will it take for our girl to get better?" Miss Xu's maid asked carefully.
"She is young and the treatment was relatively successful. If there are no sequelae, she will be able to go home in about half a month, and will be able to recover in about three months."
"Is that so? That's great. Then can our girl eat now? She has basically not eaten since the day before yesterday. Will she be hungry?"
Normally, she shouldn't eat now. However, without nutrient solution, she should still eat something. But there is no gastric tube... so I can only feed her as much as I can and see how much she can eat.
Miss Xu's maid had been in a state of anxiety and could not do anything. Now that her daughter had finally woken up, she volunteered to feed her and wanted Xiaocao's maid to teach her how to take care of a patient. "I promise to learn it seriously. If I don't learn it well, you can just scold me."
"It's not that serious. It's just simple nursing care. It's simple."
