Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 814, New Fields of Medicine

Anle City, the entire Anle City has become a huge military camp. The Ming army re-strengthened the city wall with cement and rested here to prepare for the next big battle.

The battlefield hospital was also relocated to Anle City. Wu Yuntu, Zhang Zhigang, and Li Anyuan were very busy every day. In just a few days, the Daming Medical College team led by the three of them performed hundreds of surgical operations.

Gunshot wounds, knife wounds, arrow wounds, frostbite, etc., all kinds of surgical operations have been tried here, and a lot of surgical experience has been accumulated.

As usual, both Wu Yuntu and Zhang Zhigang had to inspect the recovery of the injured first, so that they could better understand the success of the surgery.

"Captain, the doctor said, you can't eat meat now, you can only drink rice porridge, so I boiled some rice porridge over here, you can just drink some now, wait a few days, and your body will recover. The brothers are eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking with big bowls."

Zhang Xiaoshan came to visit his captain Wang Gui with some rice porridge.

"It's fine if you can't drink alcohol, and you can't even eat meat..."

Wang Gui leaned on the hospital bed, and said helplessly that Wang Gui, who was born in the countryside, liked to eat meat the most. In the battle of Anle City, tens of thousands of horses were killed, and now there are horses floating in the entire Anle City. The smell of meat.

"Captain, it's not bad to be able to save a little life."

"You don't know, in order to save you, more than a dozen people in our army gave you blood transfusions, and some even fainted because of too much blood transfusion."

"If it was left in the past, your arrow would definitely lose your life."

Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

The doctors of this Daming Medical College are really superb in their medical skills, especially in the field of surgical operations. It is true that they can even heal injuries caused by strong bows.

Wang Gui's injury was undoubtedly fatal before, but now it has stabilized, and it is estimated that he will be alive and kicking again in ten days and a half months.

"I also thought my life was going to die."

"That grandson's bow is so strong that even armor can't stop it."

Wang Gui also nodded. To be honest, he also felt that he was hanging. When encountering such a strong bow, he was almost certain to die, but he didn't expect to save his life.

"Don't worry, captain, we have avenged you, that grandson was beaten into a sieve by us."

Zhang Xiaoshan grinned and said.

Bows and arrows are very powerful, but they are still not enough in front of muskets. No matter how powerful an individual is, he still cannot stop small musket bullets.

The two were chatting and chatting, at this time Wu Yuntu and Zhang Zhigang came in with someone, and when they heard the conversation between the two, they also smiled and said; "It seems that Captain Wang is recovering well."

"It's okay, I'm still strong, I want to recover quickly, there is still a tough battle to fight, otherwise I will only be able to watch other people eat meat, and I won't even be able to get a soup."

Wang Gui smiled and said.

It's really unlucky for me, if I can't recover from this incident, I won't have my share in the next big battle, and it won't be my turn to get promoted and get rich, that's really depressing.

"I still want to get promoted and get rich~"

"It's not bad to be able to save a life."

"That is to say, we have recently made breakthroughs in medicine. We know about blood transfusion, disinfection, and the use of surgical methods. Otherwise, your little life will be explained here."

Wu Yuntu smiled and shook his head.

"Haha, I don't want to think about it when I'm dead. This person is alive, and he always has to pursue something. To serve the king and expand the territory for the country, this is a soldier."

Wang Gui smiled happily and said.

"Take a good rest. Although you have had a blood transfusion, you have lost too much blood. You can't eat greasy or spicy food. You should drink porridge first, and after your body has recovered, you can slowly replenish your body and gradually restore your body."

After careful inspection of Wang Gui's injuries, he found that he was recovering quite well.

This proves the importance and great role of surgery. Injuries that were almost fatal before can be cured. This is a major advancement in the history of medicine.

After inspecting the recovery and treatment of the wounded of the Ming army, Wu Yuntu and Zhang Zhigang soon came to inspect the wounded of the enemy army. To be precise, it was not that the Ming army was really benevolent and wanted to treat them, but rather In order to do experiments, let everyone accumulate surgical experience.

Compared with the good situation here in the wounded battalion of the Ming army, it is much worse here.

Not only are there a lot of people, but many people are unable to resist, and a large number of people die every day.

"The gunshot wound is still too difficult to treat. Although the wound is just a small bullet hole, there is a cavity inside, and the fragments are very difficult to find."

"In the [-] cases of gunshot wound surgery we performed, more than [-] people have died now, and there are only a dozen left."

Zhang Zhigang looked at the dead man in front of him. He was shot in the chest. Although he underwent surgery to remove the bullets and fragments, he was still dead.

"Record it in detail, and we will analyze it later."

Wu Yuntu nodded seriously. These people died not only because the gunshot wounds were difficult to treat, but also because the use of medicines was completely incomparable with that of the Ming army. Secondly, in terms of blood transfusions, no one was willing to give them blood transfusions. The blood transfusion of these aliens is also an important reason for their death.

Many died due to excessive blood loss, not because of untimely treatment or inadequate treatment.

"This arrow wound has recovered quite well, and the location is also on the thigh."

Soon, the two also came to a wounded man who was injured by an arrow.

Bolu looked nervously at Wu Yuntu and Zhang Zhigang in front of him. He was shot by the Ming army's bow and arrow. He thought he would die, but he didn't expect the Ming army to save him.

The arrow on his leg was taken out through surgery, and the injury is now stable. It is estimated that in a few days, he will even be able to walk again.

"Thank you for saving me~"

Bolu spoke in somewhat broken Chinese.

"You don't need to thank us, if you want to thank me, please thank my Son of Heaven."

Wu Yuntu said with a smile.

Many people who saved a life were very grateful to them, even soldiers from the opposing camp.

The two continued to observe, and the inspection was soon over.

"The gunshot wound is the hardest to heal, followed by the arrow wound, and the best sword wound."

"Sword wounds are all flesh wounds. As long as the blood loss is treated well, the bleeding can be stopped in time, and blood transfusion can basically be saved."

"The arrow wound is mainly caused by wound infection. Many bows and arrows are rusty and even contaminated with dirty things. There are many kinds of bacteria and they are extremely easy to be infected. If the problem of wound infection can be dealt with, I will The death rate from arrow wounds can also be greatly reduced."

"Yes, wound infection is a big problem."

"Gunshot wounds are the most difficult to heal. Although it shows that it is only a small wound, the hollow wound formed inside is really too big, and the fragments are also a big problem. It is difficult to say that all the fragments are removed when we perform surgery. Find out, and this lead bullet should be poisonous to the human body."

After the two inspected, they also carefully analyzed, continuously summed up, and recorded it. This is also required by Daming Medical College.

If medicine wants to progress, it needs to constantly develop, explore and innovate on the basis of predecessors, so the existing medical experience must be summarized and preserved.

One of the important reasons why the progress of traditional Chinese medicine has been slow is because there are too few medical books. After all the calculations, there are actually only a few books, and it often takes many years for a new medical book to appear.

And the people who get these medical books often cherish them with their brooms, and the inheritance of medical books is passed down from master to student, from father to son, and they often keep a hand.

Emphasis on Danfang but lack of spirit of continuous experimentation and innovation, all these make the development of traditional Chinese medicine extremely slow.

The founding of Daming Medical College is to break through these shackles, summarize the medical skills of the predecessors, constantly develop and innovate, research new medical skills, new drugs, new medical tools and equipment, and systematically train medical talents.

And all of this needs to be based on systematic records and summaries. Liu Jin's requirements are very strict in this regard. Here, every patient has his own case file, and every doctor has his own record. Work record book, record your work in detail every day.

"In the field of surgery, one of the two most important issues is wound infection, and the other is our understanding of human body structure."

"As long as these two problems can be solved, many diseases can be cured through surgery in the future."

"Yes, for wound infection, we still have to find a way to develop a new type of medicine. The most important thing is anti-inflammatory and sterilizing. As for the structure of the human body, we still need to dissect more corpses and study the structure and differences of the human body. .”

The two of them kept discussing, both of them are famous doctors in the world, they are also full of energy now to open up a new field of medicine from traditional medicine.

Especially this time, following the army's expedition to the west, they got many opportunities to experiment, and they also achieved great success in the field of surgery, which made the two of them even more excited.
