Magus Tech

Chapter 61 Medieval Medicine

In the tent, Gro was still lying on the ground, blood oozing from the wound, Pandora on the side was doing nothing, constantly nibbling at the tip of the silver fork contained in his mouth.

Richard glanced at him, took a bottle of alcohol from his arms, walked to Gro and squatted down, and began to treat Gro to the wound.

Growing high concentration of alcohol, Gro even frowned, even in a coma, and it seemed extremely painful.

Richard, however, did not care, as if playing with a dead object, and rigorously operating meticulously.After finishing the other party's wounds, Richard looked at Pandora and stretched out his palms upward.

"Scared?" Pandora asked, questioning.

"Give me what is in your mouth," Richard said.

"Scared!" Pandora frowned and refused.

Richard was somewhat helpless: "I am useful, I need to use it temporarily, big deal, I'll give it to you after it's used up."

After listening to this, Pandora was still somewhat reluctant, but eventually opened his mouth, took the tip of the silver fork and put it in Richard's hands.

After Richard took it, sterilize the silver prongs, together with the two blood vessels removed from the horse corpse, with alcohol, and then fix the silver prongs at the end of the thinner blood vessel, making a needle thread, facing the wound in Gro's abdomen Just stab it and start stitching.

Yes, suture, surgical suture.

To be honest, surgical suture is not too high-tech, just need a suitable needle and a suitable thread.

Needles are usually made of bone or metal, animal bones, fish bones, silver, copper, aluminum.In the long history of thread, many materials have also been adopted, including plant materials such as flax, hemp, cotton, etc., and animal materials such as tendons, gut threads, and arteries.

In general, plant materials cannot be absorbed by the human body, so after stitching, it is troublesome to wait for the wound to heal, and it is also susceptible to inflammation and infection.The animal material is relatively superior and can be absorbed by the human body without the trouble of late stitch removal.However, in general, some animal materials such as tendons and goat gut require a certain period of time and special treatment before they can be used. Considering various factors, Richard finally chose the artery.Because of this, the horse is killed.

Killing a horse and saving a person is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Of course, Richard knew that the one named Bill Caesar might not think so, after all, the horse was his.

Thinking about it, Richard began to sew Gro's wound that had temporarily stopped bleeding.

There are also many points in wound suture, such as self-deep and shallow layer-by-layer suture, free side first and then fixed side, the needle spacing is slightly smaller than the subcutaneous spacing, and so on.

For these, Richard has a certain amount of knowledge to store, and there is nothing wrong with the operation. After a while, the wound is sutured, and Gro’s tummy is thrown away.

The nobles inside and outside the tent had no idea what to say, because Richard's means far exceeded their cognition.

Sew the cut belly?Is this a spell?Well, this must be a spell!

This is not caused by the shallow knowledge of many nobles, but because medieval medicine is too rude and direct, this kind of stitching wound is almost non-existent.

In the Middle Ages, the most common way to cure and treat injuries was to bleed blood. Part-time physician barbers, priests, and monks would do everything they could to hold a rusty lancet and cut your blood vessels to bleed you.

dizziness?It's okay, just put some blood on it.

nausea?It's okay, just put some blood on it.

Injured, lost blood and comatose?It's okay, just put some blood on it.

Is there any bloodletting in this world that cannot be solved?Joke, impossible, that must be enough blood!If it doesn't work once, put it twice.If it still doesn't work, put dozens and hundreds of blood-sucking leeches on the skin for a powerful bloodletting treatment.If you accidentally die, uh, don’t be angry, it must not be the fault of bleeding, it must be that you should have died.

In this way, many people who could have survived were born and bleed to death by the Medieval Physician of Banhangzi, many of them nobles and even kings.In the history of modern earth, King Charles II of the United Kingdom, and later the founding President of the United States, Washington, were so bled.

Of course, if you really feel that the blood is too weak, and you want to find a doctor with real skills and knowledge to treat you, you can do it.

If your limbs are severely traumatized or infected, a famous doctor will rationally help you to amputate.The amputation tool is a saw. In view of the absence of anesthetics, in order to alleviate your pain the most, he will help you cut your hands and feet at the fastest speed.In the history of modern earth, the most famous is a doctor called "Liston flying knife", and his famous work is an operation:

That day, he was amputating a patient, stabilizing, and it took only 2 minutes to easily remove the patient's leg.Perhaps it was not enjoyable. In the process, by the way, the finger of the assistant who pressed the patient next to it was cut off, and the skin of a doctor who visited the doctor was cut.

The doctor who came to visit me was scared to death on the spot.The patients who lost their legs, and the assistant who lost their fingers, also died of gangrene afterwards.

Therefore, "Liston Flying Knife" used a surgery to create a 300% mortality rate, which can be called an unprecedented person and a comer.With this kind of famous doctor, no matter what the disease is, it can be guaranteed to be killed.

In addition to "Liston Flying Knife", other famous doctors from the Middle Ages showed their special skills: for example, hang you up and force you to lavage your stomach with clear water; pick your ass and treat you with hemorrhoids with a soldering iron; again Peel your buttocks, insert the needle, and inject you with liquid medicine through the enema; or, "pull up your skull and make a few holes to help you reduce the trauma of your head after being hit hard. ...

In a world like the Middle Ages, if one wants to live well, then one should expect not to be sick or injured.If you accidentally become ill or injured, you must avoid the doctor or you will die.

In this case, Gro's stomach was cut open, and although he hadn't swallowed yet, the nobles no longer felt that there was much hope for survival.Now Richard has stopped bleeding, and he has sewed it, this...

This is definitely the wizard's spell!

Richard, however, had no time to ignore the shock. After stitching Gro's wound, he began to prepare for blood transfusion.

Turning his head and looking out of the tent, Bill Caesar, who had been sent to look for feathers, came in with a handful of feathers, stopped a few meters away, and then put the feathers gently on the table next to him, then quickly exited the tent. I'm afraid there will be any trouble to get up.

Richard didn't say much, walked over and checked the feathers, and finally selected two that were more in line with the expectations. Using the saber he got from Bill Caesar, he cut it lightly and made two hollow ones. The feather tube, sharpened at the end, becomes two sharp needles.

After sterilizing these two needles, they were inserted into the arterial blood vessels of the thicker horse that had not been used, and a blood transfusion tube was made-a very simple but usable blood transfusion tube.

The next step is to find a suitable source of blood.
