Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 18 Surprise
The family member of the patient was taken aback, his mouth was tongue-tied for a long time, and he didn't dare to make a sound anymore. He watched Su Tong insert a long and thin tube-shaped thing into his brother's nostril, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead, and knelt on the ground Sobbing softly: "Brother is about to die, and your wife still wants to trample him, why bother, why bother!"

Su Tong, however, did not listen. He carefully pushed the gastric tube while calculating the length, and gently rubbed the lower part of the patient's throat to help him swallow.

Originally, if the patient was awake, it would be easier to insert a gastric tube. Now that the patient is unconscious, he can only see a doctor. Fortunately, even though Su Tong is a forensic doctor, such a trivial matter will not go wrong. The gastric tube will be in place soon. .

Su Tong exhaled, grabbed a porcelain jar containing medicine in a pharmacy, and let the contents of the gastric tube flow.

Sun Changqing's eyes lit up, and he walked up to the patient in a few steps, looked at the long and thin tube carefully, not even thinking it was dirty, and lowered his head to check the things flowing out of the patient's stomach.

"Madam Su's method is really novel. I think that if a patient is poisoned, he can also use this method to detoxify."

Su Tong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Dr. Sun to be very quick-witted. At this time of poisoning, vomiting is often used. However, if the patient loses consciousness, gastric lavage with a gastric tube is indeed an effective method.

After about a quarter of an hour, the porcelain jar was changed twice, and I don't know how dirty it was when it was poured out. The patient's complexion finally recovered a little, and he no longer moaned in pain.

Even the family members of the patients, who are laymen, can see that their brother's condition is getting better.

The man who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly touched his head ignorantly, and looked at Su Tong with obvious awe. Although he couldn't understand why this little lady inserted a tube into his brother's nose, his own The brother got better, but he also knew that his brother's savior should be this little lady who didn't look too old.

Su Tong carefully fixed the gastric tube. After looking at the situation, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no need for surgery. After thinking about it, he prescribed a prescription for digestion and handed it to Sun Changqing: "Look at this prescription Can it be used?"

A strange look flashed in Sun Changqing's eyes, he took it over and took a closer look, the surprise on his face became more intense, his lips twitched, and then he handed the prescription to the man who dispensed the medicine, and said, "Pick the medicine according to the prescription."

The female shopkeeper was stunned, dizzy by Su Tong's actions just now, and said in surprise: "Can you still prescribe prescriptions?" Then she turned her head and asked Sun Changqing, "Can the prescriptions she prescribed be used?"

Sun Changqing nodded seriously: "Although this prescription has never been seen before, it is very compatible and very suitable for the disease. It is better than my prescription."

The female shopkeeper was even more shocked when she heard the words, and stared at Su Tong in surprise, as if she wanted to see a flower from her pretty face—the girl in front of her was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she had been learning from the womb. Medicine, how can it compare with Sun Changqing, who came from a family of doctors like Sun Changqing?Now that Sun Changqing actually said that her prescription was better than his own, how could the female shopkeeper not be surprised?
Su Tong pursed his lips, unable to laugh or cry—although the Song Dynasty emphasized medical skills, they were still in the groping stage after all. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica did not yet exist. In addition, all doctors cherished themselves with their brooms. Passed on from son to grandson, and refused to flow out easily. After all, there are only a few truly famous doctors.

In modern times, all kinds of knowledge are open. Even if Chinese medicine is in decline, there are many more prescriptions that are sure to be effective than at this time. Her family has a long history. If you can't even drive it, then you should really hit your head and die.

While talking like this, the patient has already woken up.

The patient opened his eyes and saw a bunch of human heads in a daze. He was still in a daze and muttered: "So...so dead?"

The patient's family members were overjoyed, rushed over and said loudly: "Not dead, not dead, brother, you are alive."

The patient blinked his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, although I always say that I would rather be a hungry ghost than a hungry ghost, but the taste of a hungry ghost is not good!"

As soon as he said this, there was laughter in the Qingchun hall, and even Su Tong smiled. It seemed that the patient was quite forgiving, and at this point, he could still make a joke.

Li Guanren who had been standing by the side heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he had woken up, patted his chest and smiled wryly: "Mo Balang, it's fortunate that you're fine, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future."

The patient blushed, seemed a little embarrassed, and scratched his head: "I'm sorry for Mr. Li... The banquet at the Yingchun Building is really good, I really haven't tasted it in my whole life... When I get better, I'll go give it to you." Mr. Li, you do your work."

Li Daguan couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his head again and again: "That's no problem, but, in the future, I will give you a piece of cake, I dare not buy you wine again!"

The patient's face flushed, and he became a little depressed, which made the staff and the shopkeeper of Qingchun Hall speechless—there are a lot of foodies in the world, but this is the first time that they even risk their lives for being greedy. meet.

Su Tong shook his head, examined the patient, frowned and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's okay, but I have a bad appetite. I haven't been so full for a long time." The patient still had a look of recollection.

The corner of Su Tong's mouth twitched, and he told the buddy to boil medicine for him.But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that the Song Dynasty was a good time, and the people lived in abundance, but that was only relatively speaking, under such a so-called peaceful and prosperous age, it wasn't just that there were years of famines, countless people left their homes, and they couldn't eat enough to wear clothes. Nuan, sick and no money to see a doctor and get medicine, and there are only a few people who can be that proud people in Kaifeng.

Let the patient struggle today, and when Su Tong was about to go home, it was already late. Fortunately, there was no curfew in the Song Dynasty, otherwise she might not even be able to go home.

Seeing that it was dark, it was snowing again, and the road was very slippery, Sun Changqing personally took a paper umbrella and offered to take Su Tong home. The female shopkeeper looked at Su Tong in an indescribably strange way.

Leaving the gate of Qingchun Hall, Su Tong even heard the female shopkeeper whisper: "One is engaged, and the other is similar, so don't make any accidents."

Miss Su's face was thick enough, she pretended she didn't hear it, she raised her head slightly, and saw that Sun Changqing's ears were a little red, she blinked, and smiled wryly - this Dr. Sun looked mature and stable, but also very indifferent, getting along with him It took me a while to realize that this person was actually a shy person.

Speechless all the way, Sun Changqing sent Su Tong to the gate of her house, watched her enter the courtyard gate, and stood there for a long time in a daze, until her hands and feet were a little stiff from the cold, then she suddenly came back to her senses and turned her head back Qingchun Hall.
