Ask Sword

Xiao Langjun, can these horses be healed?

In the tall and spacious stable, the servant Wang covered his mouth and nose slightly, and asked Li Ang who was carefully observing the sick horse.

Conjunctivitis, keratitis, corneal ulcer.

Li Ang took half a step back, meditated on the treatment plan, opened his eyes after a long time, nodded, It can be cured.

Can it really be cured?

At this time, Xun Jiancheng, who had ended the state of frustration and sorrow, also walked into the stable, staring at Li Ang with burning eyes, How sure are you? What do you need to prepare?

Li Ang said casually: I'm sure, maybe 70% to 80%. If the sick horses outside the city also have this kind of disease, I can cure most of them. But it will cost about 20 yuan for medicinal materials.

Twenty sticks?

Xun Jiancheng's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

Too much? Li Ang frowned and said, If it doesn't work, I can pay for it myself, but after the matter is completed, I will make up the twenty guan, plus ten guan interest.

no no

Xun Jiancheng waved his hand. He thought that Li Ang would offer such a price as 50 guan or 100 guan. It is not uncommon for the family members of patients to offer unscrupulous doctors with exorbitant prices.

Ahem, Wang Sanlang, please go to the storeroom and bring twenty pieces.

Xun Jiancheng asked Wang Yamen to get the money, but he changed his previous indifference and enthusiastically asked Li Ang for the details of the treatment.

Li Ang still used the old saying of burning liver fire, yin deficiency and fire flourishing. When the Wang Yamen servant brought the money, he borrowed a horse from Xun Jiancheng and told him that he would come every day for the next four days. Let Xun Jiancheng manage the sick horses in a centralized manner.

After finishing speaking, Li Ang took Wang Yamen servants to the street to buy medicinal materials.

Xun Jiancheng, who had been taken away with 20 guan and one horse, paced back and forth in the hall of the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry, and within half an hour, he waited for the servant Wang to return to his order.

Xun Jiancheng hurriedly asked: How is it? What medicine did Li Ang take you to buy?

Wang Yamen’s face was shocked and unbelievable, even the palms of his hands were trembling slightly—since he participated in the arrest of the murderer by the Zhenfu Department ten years ago, he originally thought that there would be nothing in the world that could make him so Shock.

He first took me to a porcelain store to buy porcelain, then went to buy white salt and saltpeter, and then went to the blacksmith's shop to place an order, saying that he wanted to order a needle tube, and then

Then what? Say it!

He took me there to buy pig eyes!

————

Master, do you... have any special hobbies?

In the security hall, Chai Cuiqiao also looked at Li Ang in shock.

Li Ang held a huge porcelain vase in his arms, and there was a constant sound of water sloshing inside, giving off a strong, indescribably strange smell.

Pig eyeballs.

The porcelain vase is full of pig's eyeballs, each with bloodshot eyes, which is extremely curious to watch.

Hmm. In fact, the word special hobby is used in a more gentle way. If Fusi, the town of Weizhou, or the fanatics of the Haotian Daomen in Zhou Kingdom in the south see Li Ang bringing back a bottle of pig's eyes, I'm afraid he will suspect that he is a pig's eye. The world is evil.

What are you talking about, you have a special hobby.

Li Ang gently put the vase on the ground, Go find some firewood, and then take out the pure wine from the warehouse.

oh.

Chai Cuiqiao obediently went to boil hot water, while Li Ang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at a bottle of strange things.

These fresh pig's eyes soaked in cold water were bought by him and Wang Yamen from the largest slaughterhouse in Weizhou City at the price of three Wen a piece. Damaged or cut.

Thinking of the astonished expressions of the Wang Yamen servants and the butchers, the corners of Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but slightly twitched.

It seems that my surgical skills haven't regressed yet.

He nodded triumphantly. Although surgeons are professions that are bound to modern science and the modern industrial system, without drugs, advanced surgical instruments, and reliable methods of hemostasis, pain relief, and sterilization, surgeons are all capable. hard to play,

However, as long as the thinking is broad and flexible, there are always more methods than difficulties.

The cornea of ​​mammals is located in front of the eyeball, directly in contact with the outside world, and is easily damaged by microorganisms, trauma, and physical and chemical stimuli, leading to inflammation.

Atropine solution or ointment with a concentration of 0.25% to 2% can be used, dripped and applied daily, so as to dilate the pupil, reduce iris irritation, and promote ulcer healing.

Or inject antibiotics under the bulbar conjunctiva, use glucocorticoids, take vitamin C, vitamin B2 and cod liver oil pills, etc.

Since there is nothing now, we can only adapt to local conditions,

With a pig's eyeball.

Talking to himself, Li Ang moved all the fresh pig's eyes to the courtyard, and disinfected his palms with pure wine (a high-concentration alcohol invented by the academy using distillation techniques, which usually needs to be mixed with water before drinking).

The alcohol concentration with the highest disinfection efficiency is actually about 75%. If it is too low, it will not be able to completely sterilize the bacteria, while if it is too high, it will cause the protein of the bacteria to coagulate and form a thin film, which will not completely kill the bacteria.

In this case, however, a high concentration of alcohol is fine.

After Li Ang disinfected his hands with pure wine, he carefully washed off the blood and impurities on the surface of the pig's eyeballs with cold water.

During the period, he asked Chai Cuiqiao to find an iron pot, pour clean water into the pot, and put a heat-resistant porcelain bowl in it. Porcelain bowls don't hold water.

When the iron pot is heated and steam is generated, the water droplets will condense on the iron pot lid and finally fall into the porcelain bowl to obtain crude distilled water.

If it is crude, it is crude, as long as it can be used.

Li Ang washed all the pig's eyeballs with distilled water, and then took a clean cloth re-boiled with distilled water to wipe off the floating water on the surface of the eyeballs.

Afterwards, Li Ang sterilized his palms again, and then used a small iron knife to cut a one-centimeter incision in the middle of the pupil of the pig's eyeball, and squeezed the eyeball against the alcohol-sterilized porcelain bottle to make the intraocular fluid, vitreous body, crystal, and iris Wait to flow into the container together.

Finally, the entire porcelain bottle is covered and placed in an ice box made of saltpeter for refrigeration.

The whole process was cumbersome and complicated, at least Chai Cuiqiao couldn't understand what Li Ang was going to do.

Master.

Chai Cuiqiao looked at Li Ang who was washing his palms with expensive pure wine, and hesitated to speak.

What's wrong?

Li Ang wiped off the water droplets on his hands with a cloth, then raised his hand to his nose and smelled it. Fortunately, there was no strange smell left.

Chai Cuiqiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked: Aren't pig's eyes disgusting? Take them out of the pig's head.

Whatever is disgusting or not is just an organ. Just like pig ears, pig skin, and pork.

Li Ang frowned and thought for a while, But it's true from what you said, the pig's head is indeed dirty.

Well, let's make fried large intestine for dinner.
