Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 48 Preparation
Hu Zhuanyun was helpless, so he had to ask the post station to bring out the best horse and pull Su Tong back in the carriage. If Su Tong didn't know how to ride a horse at all, he probably would have persuaded her to ride away by herself.

In fact, ever since he went to work as an accountant in a pharmacy, Su Tong thought that he was born in a serious medical university. After studying medicine for eight years, it would be a waste to travel through time and space. Build all the tools she needs.

Hollow needles, scalpels, and various surgical instruments. Although many instruments are very sophisticated and difficult to make, these fairly basic instruments can still be made almost, even if they are a little rough, at least they can be used.

It was only when Su Tong started to buy these objects that he truly felt the skills of craftsmen in this era. He was really capable. Although he was illiterate and couldn't understand the design drawings she drew, as long as she explained the purpose in detail, those craftsmen I can think of a way to make it, and it is very delicate.

Glass has long existed in this era, but the production technology is still in the hands of a few people, and the glass vessels produced are mostly used in Buddhist vessels. The price is not too expensive, but it is not easy to buy in small places like Xixi Town. , and the ready-made glassware, Su Tong can't use it at all.

I can only find a way to burn it by hand.

Miss Su is from a science background and likes to do experiments by hand. Unlike most girls who grow up in modern society who lack hands-on ability, she belongs to the kind of girl who can casually live in the wilderness for ten or eight years without dying. of that category.

Now she makes some glass by herself, blows a test tube, and a glass tube, without any effort, and this does not require any big capital.Even if she burns it for personal use, she doesn't sell it or do business, so naturally she won't cause any trouble.You don't even need a kiln, just borrow a brick kiln.

Therefore, Su Tong quietly borrowed a small brick kiln in Xixi Town to burn out some of the glass tubes he needed.

Because she is not proficient after all, the things she burns can only be said to be usable, not transparent, and cannot be compared with modern times.

But for her, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of what is and what is not. Maybe in the future, when she has the capital and can get more help, she will consider whether the things are good or not.

Growing up in such a family and hanging out in the society for several years, Su Tong has already developed a decisive temperament. Although it is not long, but until now, she has basically prepared all the tools that a doctor should have. Almost, she found substitutes for those that were not available, and she even tried to breed some penicillin strains by herself.

It’s just that it’s too difficult to breed this thing, few survive at one time, and it’s impossible to mass-produce it. It is estimated that if it is sold, it will of course be similar to the price of penicillin when the antibiotic first appeared, comparable to gold.

Su Tong went home in a carriage, and took all the things he had just bought and never used from the box under the bed.

The coachman obviously knew the seriousness and was worried, so he drove the carriage fast. Fortunately, there were not too many people in Rugao County. I don't know how many stalls will be crashed and how many people will be injured.

After galloping all the way to the post station, Su Tong just entered the house when he heard a slightly hoarse old voice saying: "Xiao Langjun's bleeding has stopped, but he lost too much blood and he is young, if he doesn't wake up , I’m afraid the old man can’t do anything about it. Now I can only prescribe a decoction to replenish qi and blood, and I will do my best and obey the destiny.”

Before the old man finished speaking, Hu Zhuanyun's wife began to sob in a low voice.

After knocking on the door, Su Tong made a sound, and a female envoy hurriedly opened the door to welcome her in. Hu Lingyi had a sad face, but was overjoyed to see her, and quickly said: "Ms. Su is here, come and see my family, Ayue." .”

Su Tong didn't delay, so he opened the box first, and took out a simple stethoscope from it. It was made of soft clay. She didn't do it herself, but asked Mrs. Zhang to recommend a master who can make ceramics.

Sitting next to the child's bed, listening to his heartbeat carefully, I only felt that the child's pulse was getting weaker and weaker, obviously the situation was not very good.

Su Tong couldn't help frowning, and called the envoy over again: "I'll prescribe a medicine, you find someone to cook it for Xiao Langjun."

Before the words fell, the old man who was treating the child just now snorted softly and muttered: "You are only a little girl, and you dare to come here to coax Mr. Hu."

Su Tong glanced at him, and saw that he had a square face, and he looked very tall. He had the same good looks as the fake Taoist priest he knew, but at this time there was a clear expression in his eyes Full of disdain, it is obvious that he is a narrow-minded person, which makes people feel unhappy.

She ignored him, and only said to Hu Lingyi: "The medicine is brewed slowly. I brought the tools. The little man needs a blood transfusion for this disease. Please prepare a basin of cold water and test Hu Gong and Zun. Madam, which one has the same blood type as Xiao Langjun."

Although Hu Lingyi didn't understand, but for the sake of the child, she was willing to do anything, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare, but the old man looked unhappy, watching Su Tong take out a lot of bottles and cans, put them on the boil The hot water was boiled, and someone took a large basin of ice cubes.

Fortunately, it is winter now, otherwise it would not be easy to use ice in a small place like Rugao County.

The old man watched her tossing, and became more and more impatient. He couldn't help but get up, and said angrily: "Hu Gong, since you have invited an old man to treat your son's illness, why do you call a young lady to humiliate her?" Yun, this girl might not have been born when Yun went out to treat patients, Yun is passing through here today, if it wasn’t for your son, he would have gone to Tokyo long ago, why bother delaying the trip!”

Su Tong glanced at the old man with a half-smile, and then at Hu Lingyi, knowing that this Hu Zhuanyun probably didn't trust her, and this Dr. Yun was obviously a well-known doctor, and Hu Zhuanyun also knew him. I can invite this person, I'm afraid I won't call myself at all.

Hu Lingyi was also taken aback, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, and quickly persuaded: "Old Yun, my ah Yue is bleeding profusely, but thanks to Mrs. Su's skillful hand, she saved her life. Although she is young, her medical skills are really good. "

Su Tong knew that she was young, and such things were very common, so there was no need to be angry at all. If she wanted to be angry, she might have spent too much time being idle. She didn't look at the old man's face, but said to Hu Lingyi: "If Mr. Hu If you can trust me, I will test the blood type, find someone, take the blood out, and infuse it into Mr. Xiao Lang to treat his illness, if you can’t trust me, I will leave immediately, and I will ask Mr. Hu to make a decision.”

"Draw blood?" Hu Lingyi's face changed, but the old man's face turned red with anger. He slapped the table and said angrily, "What crooked way are you? How can you use blood to cure diseases? Don't you want to shorten your life?"
