Chapter 21 Plaster
"Put the rough cloth on the donkey cart."

Li Ang spread out the coarse cloth on the donkey cart, stacked several layers, and sprinkled gypsum powder between the layers to make a bandage roll.

Afterwards, he asked the middle-aged woman to keep the knee joint at a slight flexion position of about 15°, put the bandage roll into the water basin, soaked it in water, and wrapped it around the middle-aged woman's calf.

After the wrapping was completed, he ran into the backyard again, picked up a few pieces of wood, and wrapped it around the surface of the bandage roll with coarse cloth as a setting.

Ten minutes passed,

The plaster in the bandage roll gradually dried and soon became semi-solidified plasterboard, which fixed the injured leg of the middle-aged woman.

"That's it."

Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, took a half step back, and wiped his wet palm directly on his clothes, regardless of whether there was gypsum powder stuck to it.

Fortunately, the other side only has a displaced stable fracture, which can be reduced by manipulation. If it is an open fracture, Bao'antang has no debridement conditions, and there is no fracture support.

Song Shaoyuan looked at the solidified plaster on the injured leg and asked with a frown, "Is this... using plaster to set the shape?"

"A plaster bandage, to be precise."

Li Ang said: "The plaster of paris powder solidifies in water, which can be used to immobilize the injured leg, prevent tampering and cause re-fractures, and help heal.

However, if the limb is directly covered with a plaster, it will cause swelling of the leg and affect the blood supply.

With a plaster bandage, it can perfectly fit the contour of the leg, and there is still a certain amount of redundant space, which will not affect the blood supply.

Fortunately, there are ceramic shops on this street, otherwise the raw gypsum for making tofu has to be burned once before it can be used. "

He was explaining not only to Song Shaoyuan, but also to the patients and the onlookers.

After the precipitation in the past few days, the neighbors have completely trusted the bone injury recovery technology of Baoantang. Even if they see the strange and strange plaster bandages, they can accept it.

Li Ang bowed his hands to let the neighbors spread out, not to block the passers-by, and asked Song Shaoyuan and the guys from Lanshenglou to help again, carefully carrying the wooden board of the donkey cart, together with the patients on it, into the backyard of the security hall.

After finishing this, Li Ang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to Song Shaoyuan a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Song, the price of gypsum powder is."

"A gentleman loves people with virtue."

Song Shaoyuan waved his hand indifferently, "Saving people is the most important thing, a little money is nothing, don't forget it with me."

"Ah."

Li Ang also knew Song Shaoyuan's character, so he didn't say more, and finally looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

After a lot of work, he hadn't asked the patient's family member's name.

Li Ang asked casually, the man's name is Gan Er, his wife Gan Shi, and his son Gan Xiaoer, who worked as a tenant farmer in the countryside. There was an eldest son in the family, but unfortunately he passed away.

The way the poor people in this era are named so casually, Li Ang can't say anything.

Gan Er's family heard that there was a doctor in the city of Wuzhou who specialized in treating bone injuries and could save the terminally ill. They borrowed the donkey cart from the home and rushed from the countryside to the city of Wuzhou. They had to return the donkey cart at night. to neighbors.

"Doctor. This is the consultation fee."

Gan Er stammered and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, all of which were flat coins or as second coins, "There's not enough here, I'll ask someone to borrow it."

Li Ang glanced at Gan Er's palm full of thick calluses, and the old copper coins that were chipped at the edges and corners of the palm, and his tone softened a bit, "No need to keep the money for yourself.

Today's Duanyang Festival is a good deed. "

Li Ang has a profound knowledge and understanding of the suffering of tenant farmers' families.

Even if it is only [-] yuan of medical consultation fee, it is not so easy for them to pay out.

"This, how can this be done."

Gan Er's slightly dark face flushed red, and he rubbed the corner of his clothes nervously, "If you don't pay the doctor to see a doctor, you won't be blessed by the Bodhisattva in the future."

Chai Cuiqiao pursed her lips and said, "My young master asks you to keep it.

What do not give the doctor money to be cursed by the Bodhisattva is clearly the nonsense of those quack doctors intimidating the patients. "

"That little one."

Gan Er called his son over, took two steps back, and pretended to kowtow to Li Ang again. Li Ang quickly persuaded the family, thought about it, and went to the backyard to get two strings of bacon and a small bag of rice, and put them on the donkey cart.

"Take these home. Plaster of paris is half-set in a quarter of an hour with water, but it will take a whole day to fully set.

When I get home, don't move the sticks I'm tying up.Wait until the plaster is completely dry before removing the wood strips.

In addition, the patient must lie on the bed, cannot move easily, cannot let the plaster get wet, and wait at least three months before going down to the ground.After half a year, I can do some physical work again.

By the way, you take home the rest of the gypsum powder and linen too.

Come back to me in a month, if I'm not there, take off the cast and re-wrap it yourself, remember to wait a month, and don't wrap it too tightly.

Also, during the fracture period, you can eat more fish, shrimp and eggs.
You can also eat more meat.”

Li Ang paused, glanced at the worn-out clothes worn by Gan Er's family, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in his heart.

"Anyway, eat whatever is good."

Li Ang carefully explained all the doctor's orders that he felt needed to be paid attention to. He felt that the other party might have forgotten, so he went to find a pen and paper, wrote it on the paper, and asked Gan Er to take it back - even if he couldn't understand it, You can ask others to help you read it out so you don’t forget it.

Gan Er's family thanked Li Ang for thousands of times, and then pulled the donkey cart away.

"Risheng is the benevolence of doctors."

Song Shaoyuan looked at the backs of Gan Er's family leaving, and said to Li Ang with a smile, "You have the demeanor of a commander."

"Since you have seen it, if you can help me, I will help."

Li Ang sighed, there are so many families like Gan Er's family in the world.Even in a different world with highly developed productivity, there are not a few families who become impoverished due to illness and return to poverty due to illness.

I have confirmed that I have a letter of recommendation from the school, and I am no longer a little doctor who is helpless in the face of 150 people, but more people are still living in hardship.

Song Shaoyuan saw that Li Ang was in a low mood, so he stopped talking and asked with a smile, "I just heard about your reputation in Risheng as soon as I returned to Kuangzhou.

Rescue horses, treat fractures, and I heard that they helped people pull out a [-]-foot-long worm from their legs? "

"How can there be a zhang, the more and more the neighbors spread it, the more exaggerated."

Li Ang smiled and waved his hand.

Lanshenglou was still doing business, and Song Shaoyuan had just returned from a tour of the mountains and waters, and after a few chats, he took the two guys home.

Li Ang looked at the quiet courtyard again, thinking about the thin, dull Gan Xiaoer's family, and sighed softly.

"Master."

"I'm fine, just a little helpless."

Li Ang shook his head, threw his depression out of his mind, and cheered up again, "Okay, I don't want to. Let's make dinner, go shopping after dinner, and we have a festival today."
