Chapter 428 Surgery
After seeing the master being carried onto a weird flat bed and pushed into the operating room, the Huang family became a little uneasy.These Yizhou doctors wore green thin cloth robes and mouth coverings commonly used by corpse collectors. They looked like they were about to slaughter pigs in a hurry, which made the melon eaters calm down.

It is true that women and maids have never experienced this kind of battle.Now except for Mr. Huang himself who is still relatively calm, the rest of the Huang Xie family who are following behind are full of panic in their hearts at the moment.

Fortunately, the operating room is a high-tech product. Although there is no electronic screen that is common in later generations, there are one-way glass windows and speakers, and the family members can see the situation inside in real time, which reassures the Huang family who were left outside.

In terms of surgery, the conditions of the operating room in the general hospital are actually very simple.Only some minor operations can be done here, such as acute appendicitis and circumcision are almost at the top.

As for the more complicated one, the cross-traveling people will go to the special small hospital on Dayuan Island, and the Ming patients can only be sent away, and no one will do heart stents here.

Huang Xie held a lake silk handkerchief tightly in his hand, and stared worriedly at the master behind the glass window, full of uneasiness and fear in his heart.

As the saying goes, husband and wife are one.The husband and wife here naturally do not refer to concubines, but Huang Xie, a senior woman who is married by a bright matchmaker and has passed the three books and six rituals.

As a well-matched old lady, she is used to getting along well with her master, so Huang Xie is very clear about what her master has done.

After Fang Tangjing returned from overseas, the master, for some reason, wholeheartedly believed what his confidant said, and began to prepare to go to Yizhou for medical treatment.

For this reason, the master did not hesitate to transfer some of the business in his hands, and even went to Shanghai County to be Jiang Gan for a while-Huang Xie is a lady of everyone, and these things can be understood at a glance.

During this period, although Huang Xie tried to dissuade her master, she still failed in the end: after all, Master Huang is the head of the family, and whether Huang Xie agrees or disagrees, she has to obey in the end.

In this era, women are completely attached to their fathers, husbands and sons. Outside the backyard, women do not have much right to speak and can only follow the crowd.

The phrase "marry a chicken and follow a chicken" is not a joke: a man becomes famous, and a woman lives a good life with the imperial edict; and once a man commits a crime and ransacks his home, the woman will also be hanged and sent to prison, with no right to choose.

But having said that, Huang Xie himself is extremely contradictory: let alone business matters, Huang Xie doesn't care much.As for the matter of medical illness, Huang Xie felt that it was too ethereal, but at the same time seemed to grasp the straw.

Over the years, in order to give birth to a son and a half, Huang and his wife secretly sought many doctors, took many bitter medicines, and endured many ridicules and schemes.

At the end of the day, Huang Xie, who was burdened with huge family pressure, had to force herself to believe the strange words about "infertility" brought back by Fang Tangjing, and followed her man to this place of alienation to seek medical treatment Ask for medicine.

"It's really a crime!" Just like a gambler who bet all his wealth on the Mark Six lottery, Huang Xie, who paid a huge price and was waiting for the gambling table to be revealed, stood outside the thick glass window with a pale face, My heart was beating wildly, and a sense of absurdity filled my whole body: "I beseech Bodhisattva to bless you, and get rid of all the ills and illnesses in Master's body."

The next moment, she opened her eyes wide again.Because there was an order from the small speaker above the head: "Tie it up."

Accompanied by the voice, several apprentices quickly tied up Mr. Huang with restraint belts—often some wise patients were frightened by the idea of ​​cutting meat with a knife, and prepared to jump off the bed and run away with the bloody knife edge.So now the doctors have also learned to be good. All local anesthesia should be bundled up.

This bundled action further increased the horror atmosphere of the scene.The next series of preoperative preparations were all completed in a row of terrified eyes outside the window.Finally, after seeing the doctor stabbing the master's toe with a silver needle, some maids even let out a low cry.

Unlike the family members outside the window, Mr. Huang, who was used to seeing the world, became calmer now.Based on his life experience, he can naturally tell that the arrogance of this genius doctor Bai is not a bluff: this gout is probably not difficult to treat in other people's hands!
So while waiting for the anesthesia to take effect, Mr. Huang, who entered the hospital for the first time, chatted with Doctor Bai cheerfully, with a relaxed attitude.

Seeing the smiling face of the master, the family members relaxed a little.However, at the next moment, as the sharp scalpel cut open the master's big toe, exposing the white bones, someone outside the window couldn't help screaming.

It is simply a one-way glass, and the operating room cannot hear the movement outside, otherwise, Master Bai might cut off Master Huang's toes with a flick of his hand.

Mr. Huang himself was finally surprised: when he saw his toes were cut open, he didn't feel any pain.Although there was a little soreness and dull pain in his feet from time to time, it was a world of difference from the bone-gouging pain he had imagined.

"Today I know the miraculous effects of anesthetics, Doctor Bai is really brilliant!"

Seeing that instead of yelling, the master was chatting with the doctor as usual, and the ashen-faced family members outside the window finally realized something magical and gradually calmed down.

And the lady of the Huang family, who had only been clutching a handkerchief and clutching her chest, and was about to faint, finally had some blood on her face.

And so the operation continued.

While explaining this rare case of gout to the interns, Master Bai kept busy, prying and clamping, and took out the uric acid crystals gathered on the joint of Master Huang's big toe bit by bit.

The final result is quite rich.Mr. Huang has been ill for many years, and the big toe joint has long been deformed. Many white crystals have been taken out of the joint as big as a walnut.

After the most important part of the operation was over, Mr. Huang became a guinea pig, and the interns completed the suture work.

Although the medical system run by the cross-travelers lacks needles and medicines, these medical students have some basic resources that are much richer than those of the younger generations.

This resource is the medically dissected corpse known as the "general teacher" in later generations.

In later generations, not to mention a dissected corpse for the whole class, many times it has to be soaked in formalin for repeated use. There is no way, there are too few corpses.

Then, under the rule of the cross-country in the seventeenth century, due to the almost endless sources of corpses, all medical students were masters of anatomy—people died every day in mines and forest farms, and the same was true in industrial areas.

In fact, medical students can't dissect it at all.

Due to the hot weather, many slave corpses were thrown to the open sea to feed the fish, and no one would use the air conditioner for this.Whenever the students want to dissect, they are all fresh and hot "off the shelf". As for formalin, which is scarce in the laboratory, how can it be used to soak corpses?
In short, the medical students of this plane and the old world are the opposite.

Master Bai's apprentices have weak basic knowledge, lack of theoretical knowledge, do not understand professional equipment, and even do not understand some common sense of life.But these people are all masters when it comes to anatomy and suturing.After all, they've been fiddling with hearts, livers and spleens all day -- and that's the only thing that's in sufficient supply.

In the end, a girl wearing a mask sewed up Mr. Huang's toes. The stitches were neat and beautiful, reaching professional standards.

Then Master Huang was pushed out of the operating room.The smiling Mr. Huang is holding a tray in his arms, which is a souvenir of his operation: uric acid crystals.

After returning to the ward, seeing the master's toes restored to normal people, and then looking at the "filth" taken out from the feet, Mrs. Huang, who was even crying, burst into laughter at this time, and she had nothing to say. Doctor Bai thanked him.

Master Bai first told Master Huang some precautions.For example, from now on, you need to switch to a vegetarian diet, and you need to start losing weight when your feet are healed, etc. Things that people don't understand.

Next, Master Bai was going to check the couple for infertility, but seeing that the Ming family looked like they were parting from life and death, Master Bai had no choice but to have a checkup tomorrow.

After the doctor left, the effect of the anesthetic gradually disappeared, and Master Huang's wound began to hurt again.At this time, there was no patient-controlled analgesia device that is common in later generations, so Master Huang could only endure it.

But this level of pain is nothing to people who suffer from gout all year round.

At this moment, Mr. Huang was leaning on the bed, looking at the family surrounded by him, and then he and his wife looked at each other in relief. They both saw happiness in each other's eyes: all the previous investments and adventures now seem to be worthless. Correct.

"Golden Book." The next moment, Master Huang turned his head and called out Fang Tangjing's name.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Take a few of them to the street, and buy me a glass jar and come back."

"Does the master want it?"

"Well, these filth have harmed me for many years. This time I want to bring them back to Hangzhou and bury them under the roots of a century-old locust tree, so as to get rid of the bad luck."

"My son-in-law knows."

"Besides, change them all into local costumes, and go to the 'barber shop' to get their hair trimmed, and do as the Romans do." When Master Huang said this, his face showed a thoughtful expression: "I'm afraid it will be done here. I’ve lived here for a long time. In this case, it’s better to buy some properties on the spot.”

Now that the operation was successful, Mr. Huang is now full of confidence in the subsequent "seeking a child" link, so he began to think about the next long-term plan.

So Fang Tangjing took the servant and the maid to buy clothes and have a haircut, leaving the wife and the master to discuss their future behavior: once the wife can get pregnant this time, she might have to stay in Taiwan for more than ten months, so buy Some industries are reasonable actions.

Then at noon, the most suitable person for consultation came - Nan Xiucai who hurried to visit the master after get off work.
