Zhang San, Xu Shuncai, Hei Xiong, Genzi and others selected suitable bamboo poles and began to make ten stretchers. They also found some rags, straw, etc. and tied them into ten adult-sized models.
"Is this okay?" Xu Shuncai asked.
"Conditions are limited, so that's it for the time being." Zhang San patted the dummy model and was very satisfied with his hands-on ability.
"Hei Xiong, lie down on it. Genzi and Zhang Zhi, you two can lift it down and try." Zhang San said to the three of them.
Zhang San felt relieved when he saw that this stretcher was very flexible and that even a black bear with a physique could lie on it.
"Genzi gives you a task. Don't you know how to do carpentry? Let Black Bear help you and make more crutches. This is what it will look like." Zhang San casually drew the crutches and said.
"No problem, sir." Genzi took a look at the crutch and thought it was quite simple.
"Remember to wrap some cloth here." Zhang San pointed to the crossbar on the top of the crutch and said.
"Lao Xu, let me tell you the contents of our first aid measures first. When we come back, we can teach them together and it will be faster."
"Okay, I'm sorry, Team Zhang is ready." Xu Shuncai was marking the acupuncture points on the dummy, but Zhang San couldn't do it.
That night, Zhang San and Xu Shuncai talked by candlelight until late at night before going back to sleep.
Zhang San came to the military camp today and clearly felt that the atmosphere in the military camp was different today, full of a chilling atmosphere.
"Old Xu, what's going on?" Zhang San asked when he saw Xu Shuncai.
"I heard that General Li Jing led the Dingxiang army to attack the Turkic Dingxiang City at night, and Jieli Khan retreated in a hurry. Now Dingxiang City has been controlled by our army. Today I saw General Cheng led his troops out early in the morning. I have no details.
I don’t know.” Xu Shuncai said.
"So fast?" Although Zhang San knew that the Eastern Turks were defeated by the Tang army in this battle, he did not expect that Li Jing would drive Jieli away from Dingxiang City so quickly.
"Our army of the Tang Dynasty is looking at us. How can the Turks withstand it? Let's go and train those medical soldiers. There are wars everywhere and this is when we need them." Xu Shuncai spoke of the Tang army with a face full of pride.
"Yes, let's get down to business first."
These medical soldiers came over when they saw Zhang San and Xu Shun, and quickly lined up and stood up.
"One person from each group comes out and receives the props."
"Let's start with the theoretical class today. We are all optimistic about the dummy in front of you. According to Dr. Xu's introduction, we should keep in mind all the joints and vital points of the human body one by one." Zhang San said to everyone.
Everyone looked puzzled when they saw the dummy in front of them, but no one asked random questions. They all looked like good students and listened to Xu Shuncai's explanation.
"Let's start with the spine and go all the way to Yaoyangguan. These places are the central axis of our body and the most important places..." Xu Shuncai pointed at the joints on the dummy, including acupuncture points, and dismantled it.
Let me explain to you the functions of these places.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it all at once. I'm going to give you an overall explanation first so that you can have an understanding. In the subsequent training, I will lead you to operate together." Xu Shuncai took a sip of water and moistened his throat and said.
"Next, Captain Zhang will tell you how to deal with wounds and some emergency treatment methods." Xu Shuncai mainly explained to the soldiers the distribution and functions of joints and acupuncture points in the human body.
"Actually, there are only a few common problems we have. One is how to disinfect and stop bleeding caused by sword cuts; the other is how to correct bones and prevent secondary injuries when the muscles and bones are injured; and there are some diseases that are easily caused during the march.
response measures.”
Everyone has been on the battlefield, so they naturally know that what Zhang San said are the most common situations, so they all listened very carefully.
"So how should we treat these problems when we encounter them? First, let's talk about the measures to deal with wounds."
"Have you seen the wine jar in front of you? These are the first steps we take in treating wounds. We first use strong alcohol to disinfect and clean the wounds, then suture the large wounds with catgut like mending clothes; finally
Then wrap the wound with a bandage, gauze, etc., and replace it regularly to prevent wound inflammation and infection."
Zhang San opened a jar of wine, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly spread. The medical soldiers' mouths immediately watered, and they wanted to take a sip immediately.
"Next, you will see how I operate."
At this time, Zhang Zhi had already found several wounded soldiers, all of whom had been treated by Zhang San last time.
Several people were seriously injured, so they were still recuperating in the military camp and did not go out. When they saw Zhang San, several people expressed their gratitude to Zhang San.
"Okay, come here, you all. These are the brothers who were injured last time. I'm going to change their dressings today. You can see how I do it." Zhang San said to everyone.
Xu Shuncai also came closer, helping Zhang San while observing.
Zhang San first changed the dressing for a soldier who injured his thigh. Zhang San skillfully untied the gauze that had turned black on the outside. "You have to pay attention to protecting the wound. These gauze are all black. Fortunately, now
The weather is not hot, otherwise your wound will be inflamed. Bear with it and I will disinfect it for you."
Zhang San took white wine and poured it into a bowl. He also used linen as a cotton swab and dipped some white wine in it and began to wipe the wound.
"Hiss!" The soldier took a breath of pain.
"Liquor has a burning sensation. Just be patient. Your wound will easily fester if you don't disinfect it carefully." Zhang San said.
"Look, this is a wound sutured with catgut. If you don't have this kind of suture in the wild, you can use other threads to replace it, but remember to disinfect everything before use, including the needles we use to suture the wound.
." Zhang San was treating the wound while telling everyone some details.
After treating one, he replaced another. Zhang San followed the same method and re-treated the wounds of the following wounded soldiers.
"I will teach you the sewing techniques one by one later. On the first day, you will mainly watch and understand the whole process." Zhang San stood up and said.
"Next, you will work in groups of three. One person will be the wounded and two will carry the stretcher. I will teach you how to carry the stretcher."
Hearing what Zhang San said, everyone including Xu Shuncai was surprised. What is so good about carrying a stretcher?
"Don't underestimate this stretcher. If you don't handle the wounded correctly, it can easily cause secondary injuries to the wounded, especially those with broken bones."
Everyone looked at each other, but they all consciously followed Zhang San carrying the stretcher to the open space outside.
"Before we prepare to carry the injured person on a stretcher, we must first confirm whether the injured person can be carried on a stretcher. Next, I will give you a demonstration." Zhang San asked Erwazi to lie down, pretending to have a spinal injury.
"You see, if this injured person has a spinal injury, you must be careful before using the stretcher. First of all, we cannot turn the injured person over at will. If we do, the injured person's spine may break, just like this branch."
Zhang San broke the branch with a click.
Xu Shuncai nodded frequently, his eyes never leaving Zhang San's movements, watching how Zhang San dealt with such wounded people.
"We must first straighten the lower limbs of the injured person, and the upper limbs must also be gently stretched and placed on both sides of the body, and then use a hard board as a stretcher. At least three people must cooperate to lift the injured person onto the stretcher slowly and in a coordinated manner like this.
"Zhang San was covering up as he spoke. Xu Shuncai and Zhang Zhi were holding the two babies, with Zhang San in the middle, demonstrating while talking.
Everyone didn't expect that there were so many details about carrying a stretcher, and they were mesmerized for a while.
Xu Shuncai sighed and said: "Alas! It turns out that many of the wounded were unable to receive effective treatment, which led to their eventual death or lifelong disability. I am ashamed to be a military doctor!"
"Doctor Xu, don't say that. Without you, more people might die or become disabled." Zhang San consoled him.
