Chapter 3 Medical Suture
Ye Liuli thought about her life and death in a minute. If she wanted to die, she wouldn't need to struggle. With scissors on the table, and the knowledge about the position of the human arteries, she could just scissor herself. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, it would be hard to be saved in an emergency room.
But if she wanted to live, she must focus on finding a way to save the disabled man who wanted to peel off her skin, and then figured out how to survive.
Love was dear, and the freedom was dearer, but both of them could be given up for life.
That was right. Ye Liuli had always been a person who was mortally afraid of death.
Taking a deep breath, she calmed down, and then began to check the patient's condition.
When she discovered that the man's temperature was gradually increased, Ye Liuli had yelled “doom” in her heart.
This kind of fever was mostly caused by wound infections. Although the most obvious wound was on his head, she couldn’t tell whether other parts of his body were injured. Even though the man could kill the chaperon easily, from the situation that he was stunned just by being knocked down, the man's body was very weak.
Thinking about that, she took off the man's clothes altogether.
The man was in a good shape, with his thick arms, strong muscles, and faintly visible eight packs.
Why were they faintly visible? Because of the inactivity after paralyzing, the muscles would gradually disappear.
Generally speaking, the order would be, strength, dimensionality, and then amyotrophy occurred with changes in body fat rate and basal metabolism.
Ye Liuli pinched the man's leg muscles and judged that the legs had been unconscious for about ten months, for their muscles were still elastic.
How pity it was. With such a good figure, he became paralytic. No wonder his temper was so bad.
After confirming that there was no obvious wound on the body, Ye Liuli preliminary estimated that the high fever was caused by the head wound.
The blood that had just been barely stopped began to seep out again, and she yelled “bad luck” in her heart.
She used the compression hemostasis again, and then peeled off several pieces of cloth from her already ruined wedding dress to wrap the man's arteries. After that, she carefully opened the bandage wrapped around the man's head.
For one’s body, both hair and skin were obtained from his parents, and one dared not slightly damage them. This was the beginning of obeying filial piety.
For this ridiculous reason, in ancient times, men also had long hair.
The man's hair was very beautiful, being black and silky, and had elegant lusters under the light. Although such beautiful hair delighted her, it made it harder to accurately observe the wound.
Ye Liuli dared not shave all of his hair because she did not want to be skinned yet.
There was a dressing table in the wedding room, and a makeup knife on the dressing table, which was extremely sharp.
First of all she sterilized the makeup knife with the liquor, and then carefully shaved the hair near the man's wound.
The concentration of medical alcohol was 75%, which was 75 degrees, and even the popular distilled alcohol in the contemporary age only could reach around 60 degrees. Moreover, in the ancient times when the brewing industry was underdeveloped, fermented liquors were generally around 30 degrees, which was far from the standards and functions of disinfection.
However, except for using this low-degree fermented liquors and firing the knife on the candle, she had no option. Anything would be better than nothing.
When seeing the wound on the man's head, Ye Liuli was shocked. "Grannie dear! If such a big wound could be stanched by compression hemostasis, then I would not be Ye Liuli but Hua Tuo. This wound must be sutured!"
While muttering, she had jumped out of bed and came to the dresser again.
There were several drawers next to the dresser, and needles and threads were found in the penultimate drawer.
The needle used in the modern medical suture was specially made, being curved, and very smooth after grinding and electrolysis. It was the standard that ancient embroidery needles couldn't reach. However, she had no choice now. She had to force herself to use embroidery needles to sew the man's scalp.
