Chapter 4 Plaster Bandages

Fracture is a common disease and its treatment methods are relatively mature.

As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, medical scientist Ge Hong proposed using bamboo slices to make splints as external fixators to fix fractures.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this technology was further promoted. On this basis, Lin Taoists in the Tang Dynasty even proposed using silk cloth to wrap and fix the joints so that the joints could flex and extend freely.

As a doctor who has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, the old doctor is naturally familiar with the treatment methods of this series of fractures.

However, these methods are only for leg or arm fractures. For rib fractures, most doctors have nothing to do and can only make the patient stay in bed to recuperate.

After all, ribs are not straight like leg bones and cannot be simply fixed with splints.

Those with a good life may be fine if they keep it, but those with a bad life may die if the broken bone accidentally pokes their internal organs.

The old doctor never thought that one could wrap gauze with plaster of paris to set the shape.

This is not only lightweight, but also fits the contour of the sternum very well, and can be effectively shaped to facilitate the patient's daily movements.

After practicing medicine for more than forty years, he was actually outcompeted by a half-year-old boy!

At this time, the old doctor looked at Hu Changan differently, his eyes were full of admiration for the young man.

As a doctor, the old doctor has quite a literati character. He may not admire those fat and powerful people, but he cannot help but admire a doctor whose skills are superior to his own.

[Ding, the old man’s admiration for you is worth 4]

Hu Changan finished wrapping the gauze and was about to lie down when he heard a crisp system sound.

Hu Changan was quite surprised. He obviously just put on a plaster bandage, so why did he gain another wave of admiration points inexplicably?

But when he thought about the medical level of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Changan felt relieved.

The elderly have never seen this kind of modern medical treatment, so they will inevitably be a little shocked.

Hu Changan paused for a moment, then continued to lie down slowly under Dianhe's care, hoping to continue sleeping to regain his strength.

At this time, the old doctor suddenly lifted up his robe and knelt down straight: "Master Hu, I wonder if this technology can be passed on to other people?"

In fact, the old doctor also spoke with the mentality of taking a gamble.

After all, in ancient times, medical skills were generally not passed on to others, and if they were to be passed on, they would only be passed on to one's own children and grandchildren.

If the Hu family was a medical family, the old man would definitely not say this.

But the Hu family is now a serious noble family, so it is useless to ask for this recipe, let alone pass it on.

The old doctor didn't want to make money through this recipe, but he just couldn't bear to see more injured people wailing and dying.

Hu Changan suddenly became a little uneasy.

As a modern person, when I see an old man in his sixties kneeling down towards me, I still feel a bit of psychological pressure.

However, in order to avoid being betrayed and to maintain his identity as an arrogant and domineering rich young man, Hu Changan still kept an indifferent expression on the surface and replied in a nonchalant manner: "Okay, it's useless for me to have this skill anyway."

After hearing this, the old doctor almost burst into tears. He bowed deeply again and then led his young apprentice to slowly retreat.

Such a person who is not interested in fame and wealth, but has such a high moral integrity is rare in today's society.

[Ding, the old man’s admiration for you is worth 2]

[Ding, your apprentice’s admiration for you is worth 2]

Dian He, who was standing by the side, was filled with emotions.

My uncle died because of a broken rib and lack of timely treatment.

With this plaster bandage technology, how many people will benefit from it!

I have to say that the young master seemed to be a changed person after being hit. Not only was he much calmer, his mind became much brighter and he was able to come up with such clever tricks.

I hope the young master, Dian He, can continue to behave like this and stop beating and scolding his servants at every turn.

[Ding, the maid Dianhe’s admiration for you is worth 2]

Hu Changan was overjoyed to have 10 more worship points all of a sudden.

One worship point exchanges three days of life, and I can survive for one more month.

Hu Changan closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep.

...

Two weeks later.

In July of the twelfth year of Hongwu, Yingtian City, Hu Mansion.

A group of middle-aged people dressed as businessmen, led by the maid Dianhe, walked through the exquisite courtyard corridor towards the east wing where Hu Changan lived.

This group of people are all servants of the Hu family, and they are also the shopkeepers of the Hu family's shops in the capital.

As the first prime minister of the dynasty, Hu Weiyong naturally made countless fortunes during his reign.

Nowadays, whenever officials in the DPRK and Central Government want to be promoted or commit a crime, they will immediately think of going to Hu Mansion to deliver gifts.

In this way, Hu Weiyong not only collected a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but also bought a lot of them half-buy and half-free from various shops.

Restaurants, department stores, restaurants, everything you need.

These businessmen walked into the east wing and stood in a row in front of Hu Changan's bed, feeling quite uneasy.

I don’t know why the young master suddenly called all the shopkeepers here this time, and asked them to bring their own account books.

Are you short of money again?

This young master Hu spends his days living in debauchery, and is short of money every day. Merchants like them are almost being sucked dry.

On the exquisite carved wooden bed, Hu Changan was half-lying on a soft pillow. When he saw the merchants coming in, he just nodded slightly.

Nowadays, Hu Changan's injury has not fully healed, and he no longer cares about etiquette.

As soon as he could get up and lie down, Hu Changan couldn't wait to urge Dianhe to call all the shopkeepers of the Hu family's shops, preparing to teach them a lesson and earn a wave of admiration points.

While lying on the bed unable to move, Hu Changan thought a lot.

With the system in his hand, a magic weapon, Hu Changan not only hopes to live safely in the Ming Dynasty, but also hopes that China can get rid of the fate of poverty and weakness in modern history in the future and truly become a great power that shocks the world.

Naturally, he didn't want to become an official because he was a scholar, farmer, or businessman. As a modern person, Hu Changan didn't want to play tricks with the ancients, so he would definitely not be able to play it properly.

In my memory, even my father, who was about to be executed in two months, had much higher political literacy than me.

Even this kind of old fox is in danger and will be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang at any time. Hu Changan does not want to go into the muddy waters of Ming Dynasty officialdom.

As a result, Hu Changan had no choice but to start from agriculture, industry and commerce.

I believe that the series of technologies in the system will definitely lead Ming Dynasty to glory.

Now Hu Changan is lying in bed unable to move, and his credit points are not enough to exchange for things in the mall. He can only export a wave of modern knowledge in exchange for some worship points.

As a financial social worker, he is naturally the best at business, and it is natural to export some modern accounting knowledge and business management knowledge.

Hu Changan decided to start with the business he was best at.

Seeing that all the merchants were here, Hu Changan said: "I called you here today because I have something to say..."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were lifted up.

Could it be that you want money? Come on, the shop is about to close after all the trouble.

"I want to teach you a new arithmetic method, Arabic numerals."

Hu Changan rested for a while, took a breath, and said calmly.

"What? New arithmetic? Arabic numerals?"

Hearing Hu Changan's words, the shopkeepers were shocked!
