Magus Tech Chapter 61: Medieval Medicine

In the tent, Gero was still lying on the ground, with blood oozing from the wound, and Pandora on one side was doing nothing, constantly nibbling the tip of the silver fork in her mouth.

Li Cha took a look, took out a bottle of alcohol from his arms, walked to Ge Luo and squatted down, and began to treat Ge Luo's wound.

After the high concentration of alcohol was sprinkled, even in a coma, Gero frowned, looking extremely painful.

But Li Cha didn't care, as if he was playing with a dead object, he operated it coldly and meticulously. After finally treating the other party's wounds, Li Cha looked at Pandora and stretched out his palms.

"Scared?" Pandora asked in confusion.

"Give me what you put in your mouth." Richard said.

"Scared!" Pandora frowned and refused.

Li Cha was a little helpless: "I'm useful, I need to use it for a while, the big deal, I'll give it to you when I run out."

After hearing this, Pandora was still a little reluctant, but finally opened her mouth, took out the tip of the silver fork, and put it in Li Cha's hand.

After Li Cha took it, he sterilized the tip of the silver fork and the two blood vessels taken from the horse corpse with alcohol, then fixed the tip of the silver fork to the end of the thinner blood vessel to make a needle and thread, pointing to Gro The abdominal wound was pierced and stitches began.

Yes, stitches, surgical stitches.

To be honest, surgical suturing does not have any high technological content, all you need is a suitable needle and thread.

Needles are generally made of bone or metal, such as animal bone, fish bone, silver, copper, and aluminum. In the long history of thread, many materials have also been adopted, including plant materials such as flax, hemp, and cotton, as well as animal materials such as tendons, catgut, and arteries.

Generally speaking, because plant materials cannot be absorbed by the human body, after suturing, the stitches need to be removed until the wound heals, which is troublesome and prone to inflammation and infection. Animal materials are relatively superior, as they can be absorbed by the human body without the trouble of removing stitches later. However, generally speaking, some animal materials such as tendon and catgut need a certain amount of time and special treatment before they can be used. Considering various factors, Li Cha finally chose arteries. It is for this reason that horses are killed.

Killing a horse and saving a person is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Of course Richard knew that Bill Caesar might not think so, after all, the horse belonged to him.

Thinking about it, Li Cha began to sew up the wound that Gero had temporarily stopped bleeding.

There are also many key points in wound suturing, such as layer-by-layer alignment suture from deep to shallow, free side first and then fixed side, needle spacing slightly smaller than subcutaneous spacing, etc.

For these, Li Cha has a certain amount of knowledge reserves, and there is nothing to make mistakes in the operation. He sutured the wound in a short time and restored Gro's abandoned stomach to its original state.

After the nobles inside and outside the tent saw it, they didn't know what to say anymore, because Li Cha's methods far exceeded their cognition.

Sew up the cut belly? This is magic, right? Well, it must be the spell!

This is not caused by the shallow knowledge of many nobles, but because medieval medicine is too crude and direct, and there is almost no such thing as suturing wounds.

In the Middle Ages, bloodletting was the most common way to treat diseases and injuries. Barbers, priests, and monks who were part-time doctors would try their best to take a rusty lancet and cut your blood vessels for you. bloodletting.

Dizzy? It's okay, just let some blood out.

Nausea? It's okay, just let some blood out.

Injured, blood loss coma? It's okay, just let some blood out.

Is there anything in this world that bloodletting can't solve? A joke, it's impossible, it must be because the blood wasn't bled enough! If it doesn't work once, put it twice. If it still doesn't work, then put dozens or hundreds of blood-sucking leeches on the skin for a powerful bloodletting treatment. If you die by accident, well, don't be angry, it must not be the fault of bloodletting, it must be you who deserved to die.

In this way, many people who could have survived were bled to death by half-hearted medieval doctors, many of whom were nobles and even kings. In the modern history of the earth, King Charles II of England, and later, Washington, the founding president of the United States, were bled to death in this way.

Of course, if you really feel that bloodletting is too weak, and you want to find a really capable and knowledgeable doctor to treat your illness, that's fine.

If your limbs are severely injured or infected, there will be a well-known doctor to amputate you rationally. The tool for amputation is a saw. Since there is no anesthetic, in order to minimize your pain, he will use the fastest speed to help you saw off your hands and feet. In modern earth history, the most famous doctor is a doctor called "Liston Flying Knife", and his famous work is an operation:

On that day, he was amputating a patient's leg. He played steadily and easily removed the patient's leg in just two minutes. Maybe I didn't think it was enough. In the process, I also cut off the fingers of the assistant who was pressing the patient next to me, and cut the skin of a doctor who came to visit me.

The doctor who came to visit because of his reputation was frightened to death on the spot. The patient who lost his leg, and the assistant who lost his finger, also died of gangrene afterwards.

Therefore, the "Liston Flying Knife" used a single operation to create a 300% mortality rate, which is unprecedented. With this kind of famous doctor, no matter what the disease is, he can guarantee to kill you~IndoMTL.com~ In addition to "Liston Flying Knife", there are other famous doctors in the Middle Ages showing their special skills: such as hanging you up, Forcibly wash your stomach with clean water; open your buttocks and treat your hemorrhoids with a branding iron; open your buttocks again, insert a needle in, and inject you with liquid medicine through an enema; or, "put your skull Open up and dig a few holes to help you reduce the trauma of a severe blow to the head...

In a world like the Middle Ages, if a person wants to live a good life, he must hope that he will never get sick or get hurt. If you accidentally get sick or injured, you must avoid the doctor, otherwise you will die.

Under such circumstances, Gero's stomach was cut open. Although he hadn't died yet, the nobles felt that there was no hope of surviving. Now Li Cha has stopped the bleeding and stitched it up, this...

This is definitely a wizard's spell!

However, Li Cha had no time to pay attention to the shocked crowd. After suturing Gero's wound, he began to prepare for blood transfusion.

Turning his head to look outside the tent, Bill Caesar, who was sent to look for feathers before, walked in with a handful of feathers, stopped a few meters away, then gently placed the feathers on the table next to him, and then quickly exited the tent , with a look of fearing that there would be any more troubles.

Li Cha didn't say much. He walked over to check the feathers, and finally selected two that were more in line with expectations. A hollow quill, sharpened at the end, becomes two sharp needles.

After sterilizing the two needles, insert them into the thicker horse artery that has not been used, and a transfusion vessel is made—a very simple but usable transfusion vessel .

The next step is to find a suitable blood source.
