Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Reconnecting A Severed Limb_1
Wei Ruo turned to the doctor beside her with a question.
This doctor is from the Lu Residence, knowing that Wei Ruo was sent by the King Rui Residence, he didn’t dare to be idle, explaining everything in detail.
“You have done a great job,” Wei Ruo praised.
“Well … I didn’t do much, just cleaned his wound and applied some Powder for Anesthesia,” the doctor replied.
“That’s the best thing to do,” Wei Ruo said.
The doctor looked confused, not understanding why Wei Ruo would say this.
“Alright, everyone else can leave,” Wei Ruo asked all the other people in the room to leave.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, but considering Wei Ruo’s status, he decided to leave.
Once everyone was gone, Wei Ruo started working.
She first opened her acupuncture kit, took out the silver needles, and began applying them to Xiu Fengyuan.
The first two needles were to further alleviate Xiu Fengyuan’s pain.
Although Xiu Fengyuan was temporarily unable to feel the pain due to nerve damage, it did not mean he would continue to be numb.
“Meimei, take off his upper garment.”
Due to Wei Ruo’s previous instructions not to randomly move Xiu Fengyuan’s body, Xiu Fengyuan was still wearing the clothes he had on during the explosion.
Xiumei efficiently removed Xiu Fengyuan’s tattered and blood-soaked clothing, and replaced the bed sheet under him with the one they had brought.
Then, Wei Ruo proceeded to further apply acupuncture on Xiu Fengyuan.
An hour later, hundreds of needles were densely packed on Xiu Fengyuan’s body, causing him to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.
Next, she had to perform a limb reattachment surgery on Xiu Fengyuan.
Before the operation began, she had to disinfect Xiu Fengyuan’s body.
The alcohol made through repeated distillation could reach an alcohol content of above seventy percent, sufficient for necessary surgical disinfection.
While disinfecting, Wei Ruo had Wei Jinyi stand guard at the door to prevent others from interrupting her operation.
Xiumei stayed to assist her.
Stitching up the arm was a delicate task, and under the current conditions, stitching the nerves would be extremely difficult.
Years earlier, Wei Ruo had produced a small amount of glass in Huzhou Prefecture with quartz sand and limestone, and then ground the glass into convex lenses.
Since the magnification of a single convex lens is limited, Wei Ruo stacked two convex lenses inside a tiny tube, making a simple microscope.
Wei Ruo had used this microscope twice before, both times to suture wounds while she was in Huzhou Prefecture.
She placed this microscope over her right eye. The long tube might look funny, but it greatly assisted Wei Ruo in her work.
The suturing thread isn’t regular either, threads made from lamb’s small intestine could be easily absorbed by the body, not requiring removal after suturing.
The production process was complicated and time-consuming. Wei Ruo had made only a small amount in Huzhou Prefecture many years ago, so there weren’t many of these threads left with her.
And also the lighting.
Xiumei had lit candles at all angles in the room, covered them with the shades, firmly closed the doors and windows, doing her best to ensure adequate lighting without shadows and blind spots.
“Miss, should we wait until daylight?”
Xiumei found that even though they had such preparations, the lighting situation was still not ideal.
