Chapter 9 Apprenticeship
Looking at the patient who was seriously ill and was about to die, Tian Yan decided to give Zhao Lei a chance to perform!
"Okay! Sanshi, you will give the patient a blood transfusion immediately, but once I find something wrong, I will stop immediately, do you know?" Tian Yan said sternly. He understood that a little blood in a person will not affect life safety. As long as he is watching from the side, there will be no life danger.
As soon as Tian Yan spoke, the three patients' families breathed easily. They also wanted to transfusion blood to treat their brothers, but they did not dare to trust Zhao Lei. Now with Tian Yan's guarantee, they would not be in danger of life or delay the treatment of their brothers, so they all relaxed.
Hearing Tian Yan's words, Zhao Lei was overjoyed and quickly began to prepare blood transfusion equipment.
In theory, blood cross-matching should be done before blood transfusion, but Zhao Lei has neither tools nor time, and the blood donor is the direct relative of the blood transfusion, so Zhao Lei decided to gamble and directly give the patient a blood transfusion.
Zhao Lei happened to have a double-tube blood transfusion device on hand, but there was no disinfected alcohol. However, Taoist temple had disinfected hot water and other things. He used a towel sterilized in boiling water to wipe the blood vessels in the elbow of the patient's relatives, the elbow of the elbow of the right arm of the patient, and then pierced the thick plastic needle into the blood vessels of the eldest child.
Zhao Lei, who had never had any experience in blood transfusion, found the blood vessels at once and successfully penetrated them into the blood vessels at once.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lei slowly removed the air from the blood transfusion device, then pierced the other end into the blood vessels of the dying patient, opened the control valve, and the blood began to flow.
People around him, including Tian Yan, Tian Lan and others, saw Zhao Lei inserting two transparent tubes into the arms of the patient and the patient's family, and then the blood flowed from the patient's family through the transparent tubes to the patient's body. They all showed a look of shock. Tian Lan even covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"What's going on? Why does the blood flow out automatically and flow into the patient's body!" Tian Yan asked in shock and puzzled when he saw Zhao Lei just inserted two tubes into the patient's body.
"Have the Taoist priest ever seen slaughtering pigs and sheep? With the butchers slashed, the blood of the beasts would spray very high. When the injured soldiers on the battlefield were seriously injured, their blood would often spray upwards!" Zhao Lei carefully explained to Tian Yan while staring at the blood transfusion vessels.
"I know! These things are recorded in medical history. Most doctors believe that the struggle between people and animals before being injured is caused by the tumultuous blood and energy!" Tian Yan replied.
"Can human blood and energy swell three feet away? This is not blood and energy swell, but a kind of pressure!" Zhao Lei began to popularize science and literacy and said.
"Pressure! The pressure in the body! What is it?" He said to Northern Song Dynasty that blood pressure was undoubtedly playing the piano for Niu, so Tian Yan still asked with confusion.
Zhao Lei scratched his head, knowing that it was difficult to explain the profound things of modern medicine to Tian Yan, so he pointed to the blood donor family sitting on a high place and said, "The Taoist Master should understand the principle of water flowing to the lower place! Blood is also a kind of water, so when the blood sits at a high point, blood flows from him to the patient lying low."
"So that's it!" Tian Yan said thoughtfully. He really found a breakthrough point for traditional Chinese medicine in Zhao Lei's treatment process today. In the past, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were helpless when they encountered such patients with excessive blood loss. If Zhao Lei's blood transfusion was successful today, this would be able to save many patients and be recorded in history with this move. This is the pursuit of every doctor for a lifetime!
Tian Yan and Tian Lan were both thinking about the feasibility of Zhao Lei's treatment plan. Zhao Lei was paying close attention to the changes in the patient, and everyone around him was also staring at the patient quietly without panting. The entire Taoist temple was silent.
Zhao Lei stared at the patient and his elder brother who donated blood. He felt that the blood injected into the patient's body had exceeded 200 milliliters. He quickly replaced another patient's family and continued to transfusion.
After the severely injured patient was injected with 200 milliliters of blood, his complexion began to improve again and his pulse began to stabilize. Only then did Zhao Lei have time to find the stethoscope and carefully check the patient's heart and other problems.
The stethoscope in Zhao Lei's hand is a multi-functional collection version produced by a 30-year celebration by the pharmaceutical factory. The platinum stethoscope looks luxurious and beautiful, which makes Tian Lan like it very much when she sees it.
"What is this?" Tian Lan looked at the golden and elegant stethoscope in surprise and asked Zhao Lei.
"Stethoscope! It is mainly used to auscultate the changes in the sound of the patient's heart, lungs, pulses and other organs!" Zhao Lei carefully checked the patient's body with a stethoscope. He knew that the patient's internal organs had some oscillations and had no other major problems. He then felt relieved and handed the stethoscope to Tian Lan, and handed her over to use it.
Seeing that the patient was gradually out of danger, Tian Lan began to play with the stethoscope in his hand and began to test it on the patient.
Time passed slowly, the patient's pale face began to turn rosy, the wounds had been bandaged, and the three families of the patient also gave 200 milliliters of blood. Now all the treatment situations have been completed, and Zhao Lei did not have the glucose and saline in his hands, so he could only maintain the treatment to this point. Let's look at Tian Yan's.
After taking the patient's pulse again, Tian Yan said coldly to the patient's family: "The patient has improved now, but the situation is still not very good. If he can survive tonight, he will not be in danger of life anymore. You guys, carry the patient into the ward. Everyone else will disperse!"
After Tian Yan finished speaking to the few people who were helping around, they carried the patient into the room opposite Zhao Lei’s wooden house.
"Sanshi! Come in with me!" After everything, Tian Yan solemnly said to Zhao Lei, and after that, he walked into the Taoist temple hall.
Zhao Lei touched his head, not understanding the purpose of Tian Yan calling him solemnly to Dao Temple Hall, so he followed in confusion.
The Sanqing Hall is the only regular hall in the Taoist temple that worships three gods. In the solemn hall, there are three dignified gods, who are the highest gods of Taoism, namely the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
"Kneel down! Burn incense to the ancestor of the Sanqing Palace!" When Zhao Lei entered the Sanqing Palace, he heard Tian Yan say sternly.
Zhao Lei didn't believe in it, so there was no need to kneel down and burn incense for the three mud gods, but Tian Yan was his savior and soon he was still his old Taishan. For him who had no relatives, Tian Yan was really more majestic than his parents, so Zhao Lei could only kneel down respectfully and properly sing three incense sticks to the three gods who offered sacrifices.
"After posing these three incense sticks, you will not only be my son-in-law, but also my apprentice. You can study medicine with me in the future!" Tian Yan looked at Zhao Lei and said calmly.
Studying medicine! Zhao Lei was overjoyed and immediately turned around and kowtowed nine times respectfully to Tian Yan.
Although Zhao Lei knew a little Western medicine and had some Western medicines that were extremely magical in the Northern Song Dynasty, Western medicines were consumables and were gone after they were used up. The Western medicines he learned were almost the same as deceiving the Northern Song people. A thousand years later, he could not even get a license, so he had hoped to be a teacher in Tian Yan and hoped to learn the essence of traditional Chinese medicine. That was the long-term solution.
But who is Tian Yan? A famous miracle doctor in Chengdu, a palace minister, royal family member, and wealthy families who have been treated. How could he have fallen in love with Zhao Lei, the arrogant person who thinks about surgery all day long? If it weren't for Zhao Lei's Golden Dan Avenue, he might be the descendant of his Peng Zu's lineage, he would have driven him out of the Taoist temple. And he agreed to Zhao Lei's proposal to marry him, and he was also told that Zhao Lei was extraordinary in literary talent. In addition, he was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, and it would not be agreed to Chi Zhongwu in the future, so he was unwilling to accept Zhao Lei as his disciple at the beginning.
But today is different from the past. Zhao Lei first showed his talent in Lingyun Mountain. The poems he wrote were praised by everyone at that time. Even if Tian Yan reads it, he could only applaud him. Then, today's treatment of the dying patient caused Tian Yan to greatly improve Zhao Lei, and finally decided to accept him as his disciple and teach his lifelong medical skills.
"Okay! Get up! If you don't say that you have the Golden Pill Avenue, you are the descendant of my Peng Zu lineage, and Lan'er's relationship. There is no need to take one more action, but if I don't accept Sanshi, you will be a disciple, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a name for myself in the medical world in the future. The current Imperial Medical Bureau, under the leadership of Zhao Huaigu, is no longer the Imperial Medical Bureau that only looks at abilities. The current Imperial Medical Bureau regards qualifications and factions, is more important than its own abilities. Although Wuyang, Chengdu Prefecture, is prosperous, but there is no need for Bianjing after all. I believe you won't live here forever. When you arrive in Bianjing, you will know that there is a good background." Tian Yan sighed and said to Zhao Lei.
When Zhao Lei heard Tian Yan's words, he was very moved. He really had the plan to leave this small Taoist temple these days and go to Bianjing to explore. After all, Bianjing is the most prosperous city in the entire Northern Song Dynasty and even the world. If he didn't venture into Bianjing, it would be a waste of time to come to the Northern Song Dynasty!
Now Tian Yan has planned everything for Zhao Lei, so why don’t Zhao Lei be grateful!
"Although Sanshi wants to go to Bianjing, he is not good at medical skills now. It is not too late to marry his junior sister when he is studying with his master for a while, and then go with him!" Zhao Lei said frankly that he would leave sooner or later.
"Okay! Having such a humble heart will definitely be of great benefit to your future development. Doctors have always been the first, and there is no difference between superiority and inferiority. In the past, when I was a teacher, I met a doctor who was walking on Jiangnan West Road and used a paste of plaster to save a patient whom the teacher thought would die. From then on, I knew that the world is so great that the hidden dragon and crunching tiger, and humility and hard study are the way for the doctor! This is the reason why the teacher accepted you as a disciple. I hope you can compile books and spread the medical skills of the Hua Tuo lineage you know to spread, and benefit patients in the world!" Tian Yan said sincerely.
"Yes! Master! Sanshi remembers his master's teachings and will definitely spread the medical skills he has learned and books!" Hearing Tian Yan's words, Zhao Lei admired the Taoist priest in front of him even more. This is the demeanor and character of a famous doctor.
"Okay! Since you have accepted you as your disciple, let me tell you the main reason why my Peng Zu lineage is famous in the world. My teacher was originally a Wuyang doctor. Although I am proficient in ancient prescriptions such as "Emergency Prescriptions for Elbows", "Qianjin Prescriptions", "Waitai Secrets", "New Materia Medica", etc., there are many doctors who are proficient in these ancient prescriptions, but why can I spread the world alone by being a teacher? The main reason here is that my Peng Zu lineage is proficient in the art of acne and can prevent and treat smallpox that ravages the world, so I can stand out in the medical world and be famous in the world!" Tian Yan said to Zhao Lei proudly.
