Chapter 54: Hua Tuo Alive

Su Wan used boiled bandages to stop the bleeding, washed the wound with Huang Bai liquid for disinfection, then sutured it, applied the wound ointment she developed, and bandaged the wound.

Su Wan stared at the deputy general’s pale face, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her shoulder. Shock patients generally need to replenish saline and glucose, but there are none of these things to replenish fluids in this era.

She hesitated for a moment, ordered the Qin army doctor to bring distilled water, warm water, salt, and cane sugar, and then took out two pills that stimulate vascular activity from her sleeve and stuffed them into the deputy general’s mouth.

“What are you feeding him?” Military doctor Liu, asked hurriedly.

Su Wan didn’t have time to deal with him. She covered the deputy general with a blanket to keep him warm, and ordered a soldier, “You go and prepare a stove, and a thick quilt.”

“Yes.” The Qin army doctor immediately went to do it.

Military doctor Liu was flushed with humiliation and annoyance.

Zhao Wei saw Su Wan tidying up things and asked in a low voice, “Can it be cured?”

“It depends on his fate.” Su Wan tidied up the things and glanced at the deputy general, “He is now in a state of apparent death, if he can turn around, he will survive.”

Zhao Wei nodded slightly.

The Qin army doctor brought the things over. Su Wan used distilled water to mix a certain proportion of salt, to replace the saline, and then used warm water to mix cane sugar to replace glucose for the deputy general to drink.

The situation is critical now, having is better than nothing, can only make do.

The soldier brought the quilt and the stove.

Su Wan covered the deputy general, then sat by the bed to take his pulse.

She was surprised to see that his pulse did not become weak or untraceable, but gradually strengthened!

Zhao Wei noticed her anomaly and asked hurriedly, “How is it?”

“His condition is starting to improve!” Su Wan showed a smile on her face, and her eyes shining, “If his hands and feet become warm, his lips become rosy when pressed with fingers, and his skin is dry, not in a wet and cold state, then he has survived this disaster!”

Zhao Wei saw the relaxed smile on Su Wan’s face and was sure that she had confidence in her heart, so he slightly let go of his heart.

Military doctor Liu didn’t believe it. The person was clearly dying, and he was fine after drinking a bowl of salt water and a bowl of sugar water?

He went to take the pulse and was shocked that opened his eyes wide, “This, this is impossible!”

The pulse actually returned to normal!!

Military doctor Liu did as Su Wan said, pressed the deputy general’s lips, the pale lips restored color, and then touched his skin, which gradually warmed up!

Is this okay??

The Qin army doctor saw this and also checked it out. He was overjoyed and said, “It’s okay! The deputy general is cured!”

He said excitedly to Su Wan, “General didn’t lie to us, your medical skills are superb, like Hua Tuo^[1]华佗 = Hua Tuo (c. 140–208), courtesy name Yuanhua(元化 ), was a Chinese physician who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty. He is best known for his surgical operations and the use of … Continue reading is alive, I don’t know who is your master?”

“My master has passed away.” Su Wan thought of her grandfather and felt a little depressed.

The Qin army doctor saw that Su Wan’s mood was wrong, realized that he had offended her, and wisely did not ask any more questions, but asked Su Wan how to treat this kind of patient.

Su Wan used the deputy general as an example and told him in detail how to treat it.

Military doctor Liu came back to his senses, pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, and after listening, he suddenly realized that the effect of sugar water and salt water was so great!

Unconsciously, Military doctor Liu was very convinced of Su Wan.

He asked, “What should we do next?”

Su Wan wrote a prescription for him, “When he urinates, you decoct this prescription for him to drink.”

Military doctor Liu changed his previous attitude and regarded this prescription as a treasure, studying it over and over again.

Su Wan observed the deputy general’s condition and saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye to Zhao Wei.

“I’ll take you back.” Zhao Wei didn’t give Su Wan a chance to refuse, and walked out of the tent first.

Su Wan followed Zhao Wei out.

Military doctor Liu looked at the curtain that had fallen, and suddenly slapped his forehead, “I forgot to ask her name.”

The Qin army doctor remembered something, “This girl should be the recently popular god doctor in Xihe Town, if the Duke of Dingyuan is poisoned, maybe she can cure it.”

Military doctor Liu felt ashamed because he had underestimated Su Wan before. In order to make up for his mistake, he wrote a letter to the prince to recommend Su Wan.
