The farmer has a mall

Chapter 169 Tetanus

The officers and soldiers came very quickly, and it was still the Jinwu Guard led by Guo Hongyi.

The duty of the Jinwu Guard is to defend the imperial city and maintain law and order in the city, and Guo Hongyi happened to be working on West Street, so he was invited by the onlookers who rushed to report to the officials.

He was very surprised when he pushed aside the crowd and saw Cui Yao with a helpless face.

After Cui Yao moved the old man into the consultation room, Gu Nanyan mercilessly drove him out.

At this time, he was sitting cautiously at the door, listening to Dou Bi explain to everyone why Gu Nanyan stabbed that knife just now.

The onlookers listened with a half-knowledge, and their faces were all blank.

After his patient explanation, he finally understood what he meant, that is, what Gu Nanyan did just now was to save someone.

"Although this method is somewhat shocking, it is indeed a very effective method." Dou Bi concluded.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and someone asked: "If you say that, the old man will not die?"

Dou Bi stroked his short beard and shook his head, "The old man can only guarantee that he won't die from being stabbed in the throat, but this patient suffers from seven-day wind, and we can't guarantee that he can be cured. "

He looked at Hong Chun who was much calmer: "You know your father's illness the best. If the old man's guess is correct, you have already been to many medical clinics. I'm afraid no one dares to treat you."

The doctors in the medical clinic are very concerned about their reputation. They know that the disease cannot be cured, so they will not take it lightly, lest the patient's death will bring their own reputation.

Hong Chun didn't speak, but Dou Bi knew that he was acquiescing.

After learning about the situation, Guo Hongyi was surprised to know that this pharmacy was run by Gu Nanyan.

He also knew that Gu Nanyan liked to read medical books since she was a child, but she didn't know that her medical skills had reached the point where even Doctor Dou recognized her.

"Now Gu Nanyan is saving people in the consulting room. If you have nothing else to do, you might as well stay here for a while, and wait for her to come out to talk about anything."

Cui Yao obviously wanted to keep Guo Hongyi and his group, so as not to disturb Gu Nanyan under the anger of the crowd. If the patient was cured to death, he would be speechless all over his body.

Guo Hongyi naturally understood what he meant, and was also worried that something would happen to Qingmei, so he agreed.

He asked his subordinates to surround the pharmacy, in the name of protecting the scene of the crime, but actually blocked the onlookers outside.

Seeing that he was obviously facing the pharmacy, Dou Bi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then ran to the consulting room to "steal the teacher".

At this time, Gu Nanyan was examining the old man, and saw that he clenched his teeth and had a "wry smile" on his face. Although it was not as serious as before, he still had slight convulsions, and had recently suffered trauma.

This is typical of the seven-day wind, which is called tetanus in modern times.

It is a disease that is known to have a high mortality rate but is rarely seen.

The cause of the disease was the wound on the old man's arm. From the healed wound, she could faintly see traces of rust remaining in the skin tissue that had not been cleaned.

Although the wound has healed by this time, tetanus may also occur in some patients without a clear history of wound or trauma.

Of course there are other diseases similar to tetanus, namely meningitis and rabies.

But she just took the old man's temperature, and she didn't have a fever, and she didn't have obvious symptoms of hydrophobia.

Confirming again that the old man had tetanus, Gu Nanyan first injected him with an immunoglobulin.

This drug can effectively neutralize the tetanus toxin that is not bound to the nerve, but it cannot kill the tetanus flora in the wound, nor can it remove the tetanus toxin that has bound to the nerve.

In order to prevent re-infection after being cured, Gu Nanyan bought a set of scalpels from the space to cut open the wound that had healed.

And carefully scraped off the foreign matter that had grown in the skin around the wound, rinsed with alcohol afterwards, and then sutured and bandaged.

When she was cleaning the old man's wounds, Dou Bi just came in and was very puzzled seeing her behavior.

Gu Nanyan didn't hide anything, and told him the reason.

"In general, there are many germs that are invisible to the naked eye. If we don't kill them in time, as the germs multiply, they will cause people to get sick."

Dou Bi was thoughtful when he heard the words, and his expression was a little excited.

He didn't ask Gu Nanyan how she knew since she couldn't see her, he just stood there thinking in a daze.

Gu Nanyan didn't have time to take care of his emotions at the moment. Before debridement, she had injected a sedative into the old man.

Because the tetanus bacteria mainly destroy nerves, the autonomic nervous function of the elderly has already been impaired at this time.

This is why he would suddenly twitch after Dou Bi gave him an injection.

I injected him with several injections of medicine to control the muscle spasm caused by tetanus. When the old man's symptoms were obviously relieved, he was finally supplemented with a dose of nutrition injection.

Gu Nanyan wiped off his sweat, and then sewed up the wound on his throat, and the treatment was completed.

Hong Chun paced back and forth outside the door, looking very uneasy, and tried to open the door of the consulting room several times, but was stopped by Cui Yao.

Just when his patience was about to run out, the door of the consulting room was finally opened.

Gu Nanyan squinted at him and rushed to the bed in a few steps, without saying anything.

She turned her head and said to Cui Yao who followed: "The patient needs to be hospitalized. After his infusion is over, you take him to the second floor."

She took off the medical gloves on her hand, and said: "You and Dou Bi have been working hard these few days, I will let Bai Zhi stay here for the night, and I will come back tomorrow during the day."

The old man's illness is quite serious, it belongs to generalized tetanus muscle spasm, at least seven days of treatment is needed, and a month is needed for complete recovery.

Without lifting his cigarette, Gu Nan told the patient's family, namely Hong Chun, the situation.

Although she was very displeased with this person who seriously affected her mood of treatment by talking outside, but she was always serious about patients, so she didn't care too much about it.

Just with a cold face, everyone could see her dissatisfaction with Hong Chun.

Seeing that his father was not dead, Hong Chun didn't twitch like before, although he was still awake, he was pleasantly surprised and believed Dou Bi's previous words, so he felt very guilty.

Seeing that Gu Nanyan's expression was cold, he obviously didn't want to see him, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving my father's life. Hong Chun has no wealth, so this life will be yours from now on!"

He lowered his head and knelt down in front of Gu Nanyan with a plop.

Gu Nanyan sneered and looked at him with contempt.

"What does I want your life to do? Saving people is doing the duty of the pharmacy. Otherwise, it depends on your life, and I can't get me to do it."

This disease is very troublesome. Even if it is cured after a month, there will still be local muscle tension or intermittent convulsions for a while.

Some psychiatric symptoms, such as hallucinations and confusion of speech and movement, may even occur during recovery.

In this case, many family members of patients will feel that the doctor did not treat the disease thoroughly, and they will inevitably have trouble finding a doctor.

After she finished speaking, she ignored Hong Chun's dull expression and went straight out of the pharmacy.

She nodded to Guo Hongyi who was guarding the door to maintain order, then got into the carriage and went back to Gu's residence under the eyes of everyone.

Seeing her leaving without saying a word, Hong Chun in the house listened carefully to Cui Yao's explanation of the precautions during the hospitalization, even though he was a little at a loss.

After understanding what it meant to be hospitalized, Hong Chun became even more embarrassed.

"I don't know how much silver is needed in total?"

Even though his family is poor, they could still get a few dozen taels of silver.

It's just that he moved between various medical clinics, and his family's savings were almost exhausted.

Cui Yao saw his uneasiness, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, since you came during the free consultation period, our pharmacy will naturally bear the cost of the follow-up treatment, and we won't charge you any money."

This was originally discussed with Gu Nanyan to promote the pharmacy.

Hong Chun heard that although he was happy, he was more annoyed at himself.

When the girl rescued his father in an emergency, he, a son, was still making trouble outside, disrespecting his father's savior, how could he not regret it.
