It was obvious that in Zhu Yanyi’s eyes, there were only these two types of people.
In the operating room, Zhu Yanyi looked at Oswaldo seriously. "The surgery is about to begin. I am using Traditional Chinese Medicine surgical methods. Rest assured, your body has been well-conditioned during this period, so there will be no problems. Do not worry about the surgery failing."
"Little Divine Doctor, I entrust myself to you," Oswaldo said earnestly to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Rest assured. Since I have taken this on, I will not ruin my own reputation. Alright, are you ready?"
Oswaldo was actually still a bit nervous, but at this point, he did not allow himself to back down. Moreover, if his cartilage disease was not cured, there would be accidents regarding the family inheritance later on. No matter what, he did not allow himself to fall.
Of course, the most important thing was that Oswaldo had not forgotten that under such circumstances, Zhu Yanyi had allowed Zhu Xinfu to see the light again and speak again. Compared to that, her case should be relatively less difficult. So, she naturally relaxed.
Actually, she had no choice but to relax, because Zhu Yanyi had already inserted the needles, and she had already fallen into a coma.
Zhu Yanyi spoke to the several assistant doctors who had come to learn. "For TCM surgery, our troublesome methods are generally two kinds: one uses Mafeisan (anesthetic powder), and the other uses Golden Needle anesthesia. I personally prefer Golden Needle anesthesia because it is convenient. Mafeisan requires checking the medicine, and then checking the decocted soup. Things that go into the mouth must be handled carefully. Of course, if you do not use acupuncture anesthesia, you can use Mafeisan."
Zhu Yanyi spoke while working.
"This patient mainly suffers from a soft tissue condition. The main reason for the softness is that the spine has been replaced by cartilage disease. Currently, it is very difficult to cure cartilage disease with medicine. Being able to survive is already a great fortune. Therefore, I used the method of replacing the spine. Of course, what I am showing you today is this surgery." Zhu Yanyi introduced the procedure, but her hands did not stop for a moment.
"Everyone's cervical spine length depends on their body height. So, if you perform this surgery, you must first understand the patient's height. Do not rashly agree to perform this surgery." Zhu Yanyi carefully cut open the skin and flesh on Oswaldo’s back, exposing her spine. "Of course, before the surgery, the patient's body must be well-conditioned. After all, replacing the spine consumes a lot of energy for the patient."
Zhu Yanyi spoke while quickly slicing with the scalpel. Probably because of the assistance of the golden needles, there was not much blood.
"Remember when performing surgery to avoid the patient's pulse, especially in such major surgeries." Zhu Yanyi mentioned several key points, then began to replace the spine.
The bone spine refined by Zhu Yanyi had long been prepared and placed aside.
Zhu Yanyi basically allocated the innate spine bones and the artificially manufactured bones in a ratio of one to two. That is to say, between every two sections of manufactured vertebrae, one innate spine bone was placed.
Therefore, this surgery was very extensive and required great patience.
Fortunately, as a doctor, Zhu Yanyi had already cultivated immense patience. She performed the surgery with extreme precision. The observers forgot their fatigue. They had never seen such a surgery. They were also curious, wondering how the artificially manufactured bones were created, but it was not appropriate to ask here.
Oswaldo’s surgery lasted for about thirteen hours. During this time, Zhu Yanyi did not drink a drop of water or eat a bite of food. Only after completing the surgery and suturing did she say, "The surgery was very successful. Next, she needs to stay in a special sterile ward for two days. As long as it is confirmed that there is no infection, she can return to a regular ward. That will also indicate that the surgery was truly successful."
Actually, Zhu Yanyi never worried about her surgery failing, mainly because she had Spirit Spring water. However, she said this mainly for those who were learning.
Human life is very precious. Zhu Yanyi naturally did not want anyone to belittle any life. Respecting life is the most basic medical ethics for a healer.
Zhu Yanyi walked out, smiled at Oswaldo’s relatives, and announced that the surgery was successful. Next was just waiting.
Of course, the result was gratifying. With Zhu Yanyi’s presence, there were no bad signs. Except that after Oswaldo woke up, she could only sleep on her stomach temporarily, there seemed to be nothing else.
Zhu Yanyi’s further success naturally refreshed people’s concepts of her medical skills.
Zhu Yanyi did not care about these things. She needed to hurry up and arrange some matters, including classes.
Zhu Yanyi’s classes had now become one of the most popular classrooms at the Military Medical University. After the content of the first class spread, every subsequent class was basically full, and the number of people seemed to be increasing.
Zhu Yanyi entered the lecture hall again and smiled, seeing students who had voluntarily brought small stools to sit and listen. "Why do I feel that the number of students in my class is increasing with each session? If you continue like this, I will feel pressured."
As soon as these words fell, everyone in the room laughed heartily.
Zhu Yanyi quickly got to the point. "Alright, today I am going to teach a class on how doctors can learn wilderness survival."
"Everyone knows that as doctors, especially those of us studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, we deal with Chinese herbal medicines every day. But where do these Chinese herbal medicines come from? Does anyone know?" Zhu Yanyi looked at the whole audience.
Someone raised their hand, and Zhu Yanyi pointed to them.
"Our Chinese herbal medicines currently come from two sources. One part is cultivated, and the other part is wild-harvested," the person said.
"Very good. It seems this student has done some pre-class preparation." Zhu Yanyi praised her, then continued. "What this student said is completely correct. The medicines we currently need come partly from cultivation. Our Huaxia has many TCM medical planting bases, and many Chinese herbal medicines come from these bases. However, because they are cultivated and artificially bred, their medicinal efficacy is not as strong as wild ones. Therefore, to exert better medicinal properties, one needs to go herb gathering."
Zhu Yanyi slowly wrote the three characters "Herb Gatherer" on the blackboard.
"In ancient times, herb gatherers existed as a specific profession. Even now, herb gatherers still exist. They do not need to have great medical skills, but they know the medicines very clearly. Some medicines are dug up based on experience. As doctors studying TCM, we must also be good herb gatherers."
Zhu Yanyi looked at the people below. "Do not think this topic is meaningless. Do not think that as doctors, we only need to treat patients in hospitals."
