“You… how could you…”
“Young Master, please calm down. Doctor is treating the Master now, and he needs peace and quiet during this process. If Young Master makes a ruckus, it will affect Doctor’s concentration. Should he make a mistake due to distraction, it could put Master’s life at risk.” Xiumei explained again.
Upon hearing this explanation, the initially noisy Wei Yilin immediately fell silent.
Although he was agitated, after such an explanation, he understood the seriousness of the situation.
His only concern was his father’s injury; he didn’t want to cause harm to his father.
“So… will my father get better?” Wei Yilin asked softly, fighting back the tears welling up in his eyes.
Xiumei explained, “Doctor will do his best. The Master is a good person;
Heaven will protect him.”
Wei Yilin nodded, “Can I wait at the door? I won’t make any noise. I just want to wait quietly. I want to see my father as soon as Doctor finishes treating him.
“Yes.” Xiumei nodded her head agreement.
With the noise outside subsided, Wei Ruo continued to focus intently on her work.
When the last bit of rotten flesh had been removed, Doctor immediately handed over the newly prepared styptic and antibiotic for Wei Ruo to apply.
Wei Ruo evenly applied the medicine to the wounds, but she didn’t bandage them.
Afterwards, she began to treat other new wounds, which, by comparison, were much easier. For minor wounds, Wei Ruo directly applied medicine. For deep wounds, she stitched them up.
After treating the wounds, it was time to administer oral medication.
Wei Ruo wrote a prescription and handed it to Doctor to look at. He carefully studied it for a while and then said with some amazement and worry, “This prescription may be a bit risky. Isn’t the dosage of Chuanwu too high?” Aconitine, contained in Chuanwu, is highly toxic and can cause death in high amounts.
Wei Ruo’s prescription contained an excessive amount of Chuanwu, as well as toxic herbs that could counteract the toxicity of Chuanwu. It could be said that it was an extremely dangerous prescription.
“I know, drastic measures are called for in desperate situations. There is still a glimmer of hope,” Wei Ruo said.
Doctor furrowed his brow in thought, then nodded, “You’re right, we can’t stick too rigidly to the teachings of the medical scriptures at this time.
Doctor asked, “Should we fill in the prescription under my name or…”
“Doctor, I would appreciate it if you could prepare the medicine under your name. Please keep today’s matter quiet. If anything goes wrong, feel free to blame it on me. If nothing happens, I hope Doctor can help me keep it a secret.” “No, I will not reveal your name if anything goes wrong. I wasn’t sure I could save Wei anyway. As doctors, as long as we do our best, we can live up to our conscience. If we can’t save the patient’s life, it’s just fate. I can bear the blame,” Doctor spoke resolutely.
Wei Ruo was moved and said, “Let’s focus on saving him for now. We’ll discuss
this matter later.”
This was not the time to argue over such things. The most important thing
now was to save him.
Wei Ruo turned to Doctor and said, “I plan to give my father another acupuncture treatment. It will help to strengthen his body and eliminate blood stasis.”
Administering acupuncture was even more demanding on concentration and mental effort than removing necrotic tissue. It required absolute focus and could not be disturbed.
Doctor nodded, “I’ll leave the prescription to my apprentice and let him fetch the medicine. If you need to perform acupuncture, I’ll stay in the room so as not to be disturbed.”
