Chapter 31

C31 Are You Kidding Me?

“Do you know what will happen to your legs if they keep going like this?” Tang Yue tried his best to look gentle.

… “” Wang Zizhao stared at him. Tang Yue immediately stopped smiling.

“Alright, I’ll be frank. Your legs and bones have not recovered well, and your recovery is not good. Even if the scab is fully healed, your legs are still deformed. ” Also, if you use a little more force in the future, you will be in danger of fracturing. ”

Wang Zizhao obviously knew about this. Presumably, everyone who had seen his doctor had said something similar.

“Can you cure it?”

“Can treat it!” Fractures were common in surgeries, and they were not particularly difficult to treat. “But there are some things I need to tell you first.”

“Please go ahead.”

“Your leg bone is almost fully healed. To treat it, you need to break your legs again. In addition, you need to cut open the muscles of your legs. After the bones are relocated, you need to… use something to fix them. Then, you need to suture the muscles layer by layer.”

… “” Wang Zizhao had no choice but to look at Tang Yue with a scrutinizing gaze. He tried to distinguish the truth of his words.

This kind of treatment method that he had never heard of was really not joking around with his leg?

Tang Yue touched his nose awkwardly. “I know it’s hard for you to accept. If you tell others, I’m afraid your family and the people around you will not agree. That’s why I want to talk to you privately. After all, this is your business.”

Wang Zizhao had a complicated look in his eyes. He had always known that young dandy’s words, actions, and attitude were strange. There were so many strange things that he had to guard against.

“I can understand why you want to cut off the leg bone. Is your so-called fixation fixed from the inside?”

Tang Yue nodded with a smile. “Ninth Prince is really smart!” As expected of a high school student, his IQ was indeed impressive.

Wang Zizhao did not want this compliment at all. He lifted his leg and imagined someone cutting his leg open, putting strange things in, and then sewing his skin. No matter how he thought about it, he felt a chill run down his spine.

“When those legs are healed, the things you put in…”

“When your legs are healed, you can take them out.” Tang Yue said confidently, “Don’t worry, this is really just a small surgery. It will only hurt a little.”

“Is there no other way?” Wang Zizhao took a deep breath.

Tang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, “This is the fastest and best way.” Of course, it could be fixed with plaster. It was just that the effect might not be so good. After all, this was his second treatment.

“How confident are you?”

“If you can find what I want, you have a 90% chance!” No doctor dared to say that he was 100% confident in his surgery, not to mention in this era where everything was lacking.

Now that he had surgery, he did not have anesthetics, stainless steel plates, and steel nails.

“What do you need?”

“The first is anesthetics. After use, you can temporarily put people into a coma. You can’t feel any pain.” He didn’t know if there were any anesthetics in this era, but the main components of the anesthetic were the Mandara Flower, Black Head, and Arisaema. As long as the ingredients were complete, it wouldn’t be difficult to make them.

Wang Zizhao thought for a while and said, “Imperial Doctor Wu will use the Golden Needle Acupoint Stabbing Technique to make the injured lose consciousness. I wonder if it is possible?”

Tang Yue’s eyes lit up. Yes, how could he forget the greatest acupuncture technique in TCM? There were indeed cases of anesthesia using acupuncture in history.

“Local loss of consciousness is acceptable, but I personally suggest general anesthesia is better.” If a knife was used on the human body, the patient would be easily stimulated. If the patient moved during the operation, it could very well cause the operation to fail.

“What else?” Wang Zizhao did not immediately make a choice. He knew that things would not be so simple.

“The second thing is to fix the bones. I called him the bone retractor, but it is not easy to make.” It’s not that it’s not easy to make, it’s that in this era, it’s impossible to make a stainless steel or titanium alloy bone contact plate.

“What kind of material is used to make it?”

Tang Yue opened his mouth and spat out two words that Wang Zizhao had never heard of before. “stainless steel and titanium alloy!”

… “”

The two of them stared at each other for a while. Seeing the expression of “you are teasing me,” Tang Yue was the first to lose. I know it’s hard. I’ll think of something first.”

In fact, he did not have to use an anastomosis. It was just that he was used to using it during surgeries. Putting aside the materials he was familiar with, he had to study them first.

Wang Zizhao’s expression gradually became calm. He probably thought that Tang Yue was unreliable. “Life and death are determined by fate. It doesn’t matter if it can’t be cured.”

“It can definitely be cured!” Tang Yue stared at him. He was the director of the department of surgery. If he could not even perform such a small surgery, he would not be able to do anything.

Wang Zizhao looked at him deeply. He was probably confused by Tang Yue’s confidence. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. “Since that’s the case, I’ll leave it to young dandy.”

“Alright, I’ll give you an answer in three days!” Tang Yue stood up and looked down at Wang Zizhao. “But before the operation, I will get someone to write a document stating that you are willing. If anything happens, you are not allowed to punish me.”

He had no place to argue with these privileged people if they did not explain clearly in advance.

Wang Zizhao’s heart, which had just calmed down, was immediately thrown into chaos. He did not trust them. He felt that he must have gone crazy to believe this young and full of nonsense young master.

But as long as there was a chance, he would give it a try.

“We will discuss this matter in three days. If you can’t come up with a feasible method, I will treat it as you speaking nonsense today.”

“What will happen then?” Tang Yue asked nervously.

The other party revealed a cold smile. “Those who dare to spout nonsense in front of me are either dead or mute now.”

Tang Yue licked his lips with his tongue and felt an inexplicable pain, “Don’t worry, I don’t have the guts.”

“That’s good.” Wang Zizhao called for someone to come in and see them off.

Tang Yue was still thinking about how to treat this case when he walked out of Prince Zhao’s Mansion. There were many ways to treat bone fractures, but Wang Zizhao’s situation was special. It would be best if he could combine Western and Western medicine. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for him to be accepted by this era.

Once he got into his carriage, Yueyang Marquis began to sigh, “Yue’er, why are you doing this? Even the best doctor in South Jin can’t cure Wang Zizhao’s leg. Where did you get your confidence from?”

Tang Yue looked up and smiled at him. “Don’t worry, Father. I won’t do anything I’m not sure about.”

He wanted to treat Wang Zizhao’s leg, not only for the sake of his reputation, but also for the sake of this young man.

If he wanted to continue to practice medicine, he needed patients who were willing to treat him. Wang Zizhao’s status was high. As long as he could cure him, he would be able to make a name for himself overnight. This way, he could be considered to have made a name for himself.

No one would believe a young doctor in his teens, but it would be different if this young man cured a case that others could not treat.

Tang Yue was almost forty years old, so he naturally did not want to start as an apprentice. If he wanted others to believe in him, he would have to show his ability.

Yueyang Marquis felt that he was too arrogant. It was related to Wang Zizhao’s body, so how could he randomly agree?

However, he had already boasted about it, and it was difficult to take it back.

When he returned home, Yueyang Marquis immediately ordered people to search for medical books. He sent all the medical books he could find to Tang Yue’s room.

Books in this era were very precious. Even if one had money, one might not be able to buy them. Yueyang Marquis used his connections to copy some of the books from the Imperial Medical Office.

Then, a unique scene appeared in the Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion. Their young master walked in front of them. Behind him was a bookkeeper who was holding a book and reading aloud.

“The heart is in the chest. It is the sun in the sun. It is connected to the summer air. It is the main god and the main bloodline. The heart is in the small intestine. It gives birth to blood and glory…”

Tang Yue was annoyed at first. He could hear a fly buzzing in his ears no matter where he went. However, after he got used to it, he treated it as if it did not exist. Occasionally, he would be inspired by the content he read.

“Qihua is in front of me. Hidden meridians, sacrificing spirit, opening the mind to the tongue, and making the will happy…”

This seemed to be the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique. Tang Yue thought about it for a while and then dispersed his thoughts.

Wherever Tang Yue went, the sound followed. The servants who came and went saw this scene were all amused. But this way, the manor became much livelier.

In the backyard, Marquis’s Wife and Zhao Shi were drinking the cool sour plum soup. The four maids beside her were pounding their legs. They were fanning and fanning, so uncomfortable.

“Madam, does young dandy really want to treat Wang Zizhao?” Zhao Shi’s wife asked in a low voice.

“Master Hou said it himself. How can it be fake?” Marquis’s Wife’s face carried a trace of schadenfreude, “Blind lady, that brat really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

“Indeed. I wonder if he will implicate Marquis’s Mansion.”

“How can Wang Zizhao be that kind of person who doesn’t know right from wrong? It’s just that I’m afraid that kid won’t be able to establish a foothold in Ye City in the future.”

“What if he’s cured?”

Ridiculous! How could a kid like him compare to the entire Imperial Medical Office? Only Master Hou would believe him.” Marquis’s Wife was in a good mood as soon as she thought of this.

He knew that a kid who grew up in the countryside was not worthy of being seen. This time, he would definitely humiliate himself!

Wait! When the outcome was certain, she would persuade the duke and the madame to send this kid to the manor in the outskirts of the city. At that time, she would send a few women to him, give birth to a few children, and then bring him back to be raised.
