"Doctor, doctor. Come and see, our company commander is dying."

Two soldiers carried Shi Dajian on a stretcher and stood at the door of the field hospital.

The doctors were busy and no one was there to receive them. They could only shout at the door.

There is a strong smell of alcohol here, but it cannot cover up the heavier smell of blood.

"Wu Youke, you are responsible for this patient."

The director of the field hospital immediately arranged for a doctor to see him.

All doctors are busy now, and doctors with good skills are rescuing seriously injured people.

Only this doctor who had just joined had no arrangements to rescue the seriously injured because he had just learned surgery.

The director saw that the patient's body was intact and arranged for Wu Youke to treat him.

Wu Youke has been helping in the field hospital for half a month and has basically mastered the medical skills of surgery.

Hearing the director's instructions, he agreed to wash his hands and come to check on the patient's condition.

The two soldiers watched the doctor in a white coat come out, and their nervousness calmed down.

Wu Youke saw an arrow stuck in the patient's right upper arm, and the arrow shaft had been cut off.

There was rot and pus near the wound, and the symptoms were very dangerous.

Wu Youke frowned and said, "What's going on? It seems like his wound has been there for a while. Why didn't you send it here earlier?"

The soldier said with a cry: "Doctor, our company commander can't do anything.

The Ming army stormed our position regardless of casualties, and the company commander could not retreat at that time.

The damn Ming army actually used arrows stained with feces.

Many brothers were shot by arrows and developed fever the next day, and most of them did not survive.

The company commander has strong vitality and has not died yet, but now he has a fever and is comatose, and his forehead is very hot."

Wu Youke said to the soldiers: "Give me your hands and carry your company commander into the tent."

He instructed the soldiers, put Shi Dajian on the hospital bed, asked the two soldiers to go out and wait, and called the head nurse who cooperated with his operation.

"Head nurse, use ice water to cool down.

Prepare ether, I need surgical treatment, and all the slough from the wound must be removed."

Wu Youke watched the head nurse pour a few drops of liquid from a porcelain bottle and pour it on the cotton cloth.

The head nurse held her breath and covered the patient's mouth and nose with cotton cloth. After a while, the patient took a deep breath.

He immediately went for surgery.

Surgery is a medical skill that Wu Youke studied seriously. He only learned it for half a month and was able to use it skillfully.

He didn't understand this medical skill at first, but there were too many patients and the field hospital was understaffed.

He can often help other doctors.

Amputate the patient's limbs. Put the exposed intestines into the stomach and sew the wound again.

These were terminal illnesses that he had previously thought would lead to death.

Surprisingly, people were saved through surgery.

The mortality rate of the operation is very high, but it is 100% higher than before.

Being able to save people is a very good medical skill.

Wu Youke is now skilled in amputating limbs through surgery.

Unexpectedly, in his forties, he learned another medical skill that he had never known before.

Three people go together there must be my teacher.

Wu Youke performed the operation, which was very easy for him. He even chatted with the head nurse.

The head nurse used to be a Taoist priest, and the governor's office strictly required a priest certificate. He, a Taoist priest without a certificate, came to work as a nurse in a military hospital.

"This is the Ma Fei San you have here. Hua Tuo's Ma Fei San has been lost. This is a great pity for the medical community.

I hope the Ma Fei Powder you studied will not be lost again."

"It can't be lost, Taoist Master Ma Qiankun has registered a patent.

Everyone knows the manufacturing process of ether.

If you want to make ether, you must pay royalties to Taoist Ma Qiankun."

Wu Youke has heard about patents.

Many doctors in field hospitals often discuss registering patents.

They registered patents for their unique medical skills.

Others learn this medical skill and use it to make money, and have to pay patent fees.

The head nurse continued: "Tell me something that only us Taoist priests know.

Taoist Master Ma Qiankun is also a god.

He used to engage in funeral customs and unite a group of Taoist priests to specialize in funeral services. He also charged Taoist temple fees.

He said he could help them obtain the managers of Martyrs' Pavilions in other places.

As a result, the Tongling Mansion launched the ancestral temple and congratulated the master, and the funeral business of Master Ma Qiankun was unable to survive.

The Martyrs' Pavilion was also handed over to the Ancestral Temple.

Not only did he lose his livelihood, he also owed a large amount of money to other Taoist temples.

Taoist Master Ma Qiankun studies various businesses in order to make money.

He eventually learned alchemy, relying on a brief introduction in nature books, and using sulfur and alcohol, he was the first to create ether.

This is the same thing as the legendary Ma Fei Powder.

With ether, the number of soldiers who survived amputation has increased several times.

Although some people will never wake up, this is a good medicine to save lives and heal the wounded.

It's better than the previous amputation surgery, chewing the wooden stick in his mouth, and biting off his own tongue.

Or the pain can't be tolerated and the pain may lead to death.

The emergence of ether at least avoided this situation."

Wu Youke lamented that there was an endless stream of new knowledge here in Hanzhong. He had seen more things in the past half month than he had in the previous half of his life.

Chatting did not affect his operation, his hands were very steady, and the operation was completed quickly.

Ask the head nurse to bandage the patient, and Wu can walk out of the ward.

He watched two soldiers waiting anxiously outside the door.

"Your company commander has successfully operated. As long as there is no infection, his arm can be saved.

If the infection continues, the only option is amputation."

The soldier begged: "Doctor, please do your best. If the company commander has his leg amputated, he will have no choice but to retire."

"It was sent too late. Even if he recovers, I don't think he will be able to serve as a soldier again.

When the patient wakes up, he will find that his hands are not very flexible. Please give him some advice."

There was nothing Wu You could do. The injury was too serious. After recovery, he was able to eat on his own. This was a good recovery.

"Wu Youke, come here quickly, there is another patient who needs amputation."

The director of the field hospital, he was stroking the intestines of a patient with his hands and yelling anxiously at the same time.

Wu Youke was busy again. He estimated that there was a war on the front line and there were many patients coming.

He did not rest day and night and underwent several operations in succession.

The patients he operated on confirmed his idea. Some of the patients he operated on were Ming soldiers.

It was not until the fighting gradually subsided that the number of wounded soldiers sent to the field hospital decreased significantly.

He was going back to his tent to rest, and he learned a lot during this time.

He learned the word infection and knew that there are many little bugs in the environment. They are called bacteria, fungi and viruses, collectively called microorganisms.

These are the main culprits of most diseases, especially plagues.

This kind of knowledge directly shattered his previous concepts.

But doctors here have many methods for targeting microorganisms, which can effectively save patients' lives.

Especially with strict disinfection and clean bandages, many soldiers' wounds did not suppurate.

He also recognized this knowledge based on his own medical experience.

Wu Youke was practicing medicine in his hometown. He had an old friend who returned to his hometown to return to his roots.
