Chapter 38 I Want to Be a Doctor in the Future
"Ah!" A piercing pain suddenly came over him, and Xie Yan, who had been very calm before, couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Tang Ling had been injured frequently before, so he was very familiar with this situation. "It must be that the gauze and the flesh are stuck together."
"Wait a moment." Tang Man said, and ran to her bag and rummaged through it. After a while, she found a bottle of saline solution with only half of it left. She turned her back to the two of them, put the saline solution into the Lingquan space, randomly found a glass bottle to put it in, and used the bottle of saline solution to fill a bottle of Lingquan water.
"You have to soak the gauze first before taking it off, so that it won't hurt." Tang Man took the glass bottle and slowly poured the spiritual spring water onto the gauze. After soaking the gauze completely, he waited for a while before carefully peeling off the gauze.
After the gauze was soaked, it was immediately separated from the wound. Tang Man gently took it off. Although it still hurt, Xie Yan could at least bear it this time.
After removing the gauze, Tang Man held the cotton in one hand, poured the spiritual spring water on the wound, and used the cotton to clean the blood stains on the wound.
"That's you. If you were in a hospital, the doctor would never treat saline solution as ordinary well water and pour whole bottles of it on the wound."
As if to confirm Tang Ling's words, before Tang Ling finished speaking, there was not a drop of saline solution left in Tang Man's hand.
"If you don't clean the wound thoroughly, what if it gets infected?" Tang Man replied, and walked to the cloth bag. With his back to the two of them, he put the glass bottle of saline solution into the Lingquan space, filled it with a bottle of Lingquan water, and continued to clean Xie Yan's wound.
As for whether it would be wasted, she didn't care at all. The spiritual spring water was holy water that others could hardly obtain, but to her it was inexhaustible spring water that she could use at will to irrigate vegetable fields and orchards.
Seeing Tang Man bring another bottle of saline solution, Tang Ling smiled and teased Xie Yan, "Why don't you just do something about it?"
Xie Yan just smiled and said, "It's okay."
Seeing Tang Man coming, Tang Ling shut up obediently and stopped teasing Xie Yan, while Tang Man continued to use the spiritual spring water to clean Xie Yan's wound. The spiritual spring water also has a life-giving effect. Using the spiritual spring water more often can help the wound heal faster.
After the blood around the wound was cleaned away, the wound was exposed. It was not big, but it was very deep.
It was at this time that Tang Ling realized that Xie Yan was seriously injured. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Such a deep wound will not work without stitches."
"It's okay, I can sew it myself. Manman, you and big brother will help me later." Xie Yan said casually, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed the true situation at the moment.
Even though Tang Man was very careful, Xie Yan still felt pain. Because of the pain, his face had turned as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead like pearls that had broken off the string, soaking his hair and collar.
Without waiting for Tang Ling to agree, Tang Man said, "I'll sew it."
"Okay." For some reason, Xie Yan did not refuse Tang Man.
He guided Tang Man step by step to inject himself with anesthetic and to guide Tang Man in threading the needle.
After the anesthetic took effect, he began to instruct Tang Man to sew himself.
In fact, these are just basic operations for Tang Man. She can even do better than Xie Yan. After all, the medical technology of this era cannot be compared with the medical technology of later generations.
But Tang Man still followed Xie Yan's instructions step by step. Of course, when sewing the stitches, she followed her own steps. If she followed Xie Yan's method, the wound would be very ugly after it healed.
After the wound was bandaged, Tang Ling praised sincerely, "My Manman is really good at treating wounds." If we could ignore her large amount of waste of saline solution.
"That's right. I'm going to be admitted to medical school. How can I be a doctor if I can't even treat such a minor injury?"
Tang Man looked up proudly, but in fact she just wanted to convey a message to Tang Ling and Xie Yan that she was going to study in medical university.
"You want to study medicine?" Xie Yan and Tang Ling exclaimed almost at the same time.
Xie Yan was fine. After all, Tang Man had said before that she was interested in Western medicine, and she had been reading medical books frequently during this period. When he heard Tang Man say that she wanted to study medicine, he felt surprised but also thought it was natural.
Tang Ling's face was full of disbelief. After he came here, Tang Man spent most of the time flipping through the high school books he brought with her, so he had never seen Tang Man reading medical books. Tang Man suddenly said that she wanted to apply to a medical university, which really surprised him.
"Brother, do you remember my childhood dream?"
"When you were in the army, you always said that your dad's uniform looked good and you wanted to wear one when you grew up."
At this point, Tang Ling couldn't help but grin.
"But unfortunately, mom doesn't allow you to join the army. Because of this, she doesn't allow dad to wear military uniform at home. Until now, dad and I are not allowed to wear military uniforms at home. We are afraid that one day you will suddenly want to join the army because of that uniform."
"I never gave up my dream, so I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds."
Tang Man had already said this, how could Tang Ling not guess what Tang Man wanted to do? "You want to be a doctor in the military hospital."
"Yes! There is no danger in being a doctor. Mom will definitely not object. The most important thing is that I can wear my favorite military uniform when I enter the military hospital."
Going to the military hospital or not is secondary. Tang Man mainly wanted to find an excuse for herself. She suddenly proposed to study medicine. Not to mention Tang Ling, Tang Jianguo and Li Wenjuan would also find it strange. After all, the original owner had never said that she wanted to study medicine before.
Tang Ling also thought that studying medicine was a good idea, but he was a little confused. "The profession of doctor is indeed good, but why do you want to study Western medicine? Wouldn't it be good for you to learn Chinese medicine from Xie Yan? It would be great if you two could open a Chinese medicine clinic when you return to Beijing!"
Tang Man shook her head with a bitter face, "Traditional Chinese Medicine is too difficult. Apart from other things, the effects and taboos of various medicinal materials alone can drive people crazy."
Tang Ling wanted to say that Western medicine also has a lot of knowledge points that need to be memorized, but seeing that his sister was very interested in studying medicine, he could only swallow back what he wanted to say. He couldn't dampen his sister's enthusiasm, so he just said it with a smile.
"That's great too. One of you is a Chinese doctor and the other is a Western doctor. If you encounter difficult patients in the future, you can discuss it together and combine Chinese and Western medicine."
Tang Man smiled and didn't respond. She stood up and started to clean up.
Because Xie Yan had an injury on his hand, the task of packing fell on Tang Man and Tang Ling. However, Xie Yan was not idle either. He held the cloth bag of medicinal herbs in one hand and poured them into the medicine cabinet that Zhou Yonglin had gotten from somewhere, and labeled each drawer with the name of the medicinal herb.
The two of them did not have much luggage. To be more precise, Xie Yan did not have much luggage. He had two sets of clothes for summer, a thin green military uniform and a washed-out Zhongshan suit. He only had one set of clothes for spring and autumn, and two sets for winter, two relatively thick cotton-padded jackets, two sets of autumn shirts and trousers, and not even a sweater.
