Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

Chapter 61 Medieval Medicine

In the tent, Gero was still lying on the ground, blood oozing from the wound, and Pandora on one side was doing nothing, biting the silver fork in his mouth.

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

The high concentration of alcohol was sprinkled, and even when he was in a coma, Gero frowned, looking extremely painful.

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

"Scared?" Pandora asked in confusion.

"Give me what's in your mouth." Li Cha said.

"Scare!" Pandora frowned and refused.

Li Cha was a little helpless: "I'm useful, I need to use it temporarily. If it's a big deal, I'll give it to you when I'm done."

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

After Richard took it, he sterilized the silver fork tip, along with the two blood vessels taken from the horse's corpse, with alcohol, and then fixed the silver fork tip to the end of the thinner blood vessel to make a needle and thread, and pointed it to the wound on Gero's abdomen. Just stab and start sewing.

Yes, suture, surgical suture.

To be honest, there is nothing too high-tech in surgical suturing, as long as there are suitable needles and suitable threads.

Needles are generally made of bone or metal, such as animal bones, fish bones, silver, copper, or 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 tendon, catgut, and arteries.

Generally speaking, because plant materials cannot be absorbed by the human body, after sutures, the sutures need to be removed after the wound heals, which is troublesome and prone to inflammation and infection. Animal materials are relatively superior and can be absorbed by the human body without the trouble of removing sutures later. However, in general, some animal materials such as tendons and catgut require a certain period of time and special processing before they can be used. Considering various factors, Richard finally chose arteries. That's why the horse is killed.

Killing a horse and saving a man is a bargain no matter how you look at it.

Of course, Richard knew that the man named Bill Caesar might not think so, after all, the horse was his.

Thinking about it, Richard began to suture the wound that had temporarily stopped bleeding.

There are also many key points in wound suturing, such as layer-by-layer suture from deep to shallow, freeing the side first and then fixing the side, and the needle spacing is slightly smaller than the subcutaneous spacing.

For these, Li Cha has a certain amount of knowledge to store, and there is nothing wrong in the operation. He sutures the wound in a short time, and restores Gero's abandoned stomach.

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

Sew up the cut belly? Is this magic? Well, it must be a spell!

This is not caused by the shallow knowledge of many nobles, but because medieval medicine is too crude and direct, and this kind of suturing wound is almost non-existent.

In the Middle Ages, the most common way to cure diseases and injuries was bloodletting. Barbers, priests, and monks who were part-time physicians would do everything possible to take a rusty lancet and cut your blood vessels to let you bleed.

Dizziness? It's alright, just put some blood on it.

nausea? It's alright, just put some blood on it.

Injured, lost blood in a coma? It's alright, just put some blood on it.

Is there anything in this world that bloodletting can't solve? Joke, impossible, it must be not enough blood! If once doesn't work, do it twice. If it still doesn't work, put dozens or hundreds of blood-sucking leeches on the skin for a powerful bloodletting treatment. If you die accidentally, well, don't be angry, it must not be the bloodletting's fault, it must be you who should have died.

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

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

If your limbs are severely traumatized or infected, there will be well-known physicians rationally amputating them for you. The tool for amputation is a saw. Since there is no anesthetic, in order to minimize your pain, he will cut off your hands and feet as quickly as possible. In modern earth history, the most famous is a doctor called "Liston's flying knife", and his famous work is an operation:

That day, he was amputating a patient's leg, and with stability, he easily removed the patient's leg in just two minutes. Maybe it wasn't enough. In the process, the finger of the assistant who pressed the patient was also cut off, and the skin of a doctor who came to visit was also cut.

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

Therefore, "Liston Flying Knife" used a single operation to create a 300% mortality rate, which is unprecedented. With such a famous doctor, no matter what the disease is, it can be guaranteed to be cut to the death.

In addition to the "Listen's Flying Knife", there are other famous physicians from the Middle Ages who show their special skills: such as hanging you up and forcibly washing your stomach with water; chopping your butt off and treating you with a soldering iron for hemorrhoids; again Peel your ass, put a needle in it, and give you the liquid through an enema; or, "Open up your skull and dig a few holes to help you lessen the trauma from a hard blow to the head." ...

In the same world as the Middle Ages, if a person wants to live well, he must expect never to get sick or get hurt. If you accidentally get sick or injured, you must avoid the doctor, or you will die.

Under such circumstances, Gero's stomach was cut open, and although he hadn't died, the nobles already felt that there was little hope of surviving. Now Li Cha has actually stopped the bleeding and even sewed it up, this...

This is definitely the magic of the wizard!

Li Cha was the one who had no time to pay attention to the shocked crowd. After stitching up Gero's wound, he began to prepare for blood transfusion.

Turning his head and looking out of the tent, Bill Caesar, who was sent to look for feathers, walked in with a handful of feathers, stopped a few meters away, placed the feathers on the table next to him, and quickly exited the tent, a pair of feathers. I'm afraid that there will be any more trouble to get into the body.

Richard didn't say much, went over to check the feathers, and finally selected two that were more in line with expectations. With the saber he got from Bill Caesar, he lightly cut it and made two hollow ones. The quill, with the end sharpened, becomes two sharp needles.

After sterilizing the two needles, insert them into the relatively thick arterial blood vessel of the horse that has not been used, and a blood transfusion vessel is made—a very simple but usable blood transfusion vessel.

The next step is to find a suitable blood source.
