The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 57 The Last Fracture

Seeing that Mr. Liu disagreed, Li Shengli didn't have much to say. He told him that massage and massage can be used as health care and rehabilitation medicine.

Others will believe this, but Mr. Liu will not. There may be full-time personnel for rehabilitation of the disabled in the military hospital now, but there should not be any in ordinary hospitals.

Li Shengli could only back away from the angry Master Liu, pretending that he hadn't spoken just now.

After the major event was decided, everyone began to eat. Ma Fenglan's cooking taste was average, far inferior to Master Liu's stewed rabbit meat, so it could only be regarded as passable.

It's not that Ma Fenglan's craftsmanship is average, it's just that nowadays cooking is usually heavy, and meals without salty or light taste are not popular.

Rabbit meat is different from fish meat. With a spoonful of corn miso, the taste of salted rabbit meat is far inferior to that of salted fish.

After lunch, there was still a little more time to rest. Li Shengli took the time to ask the three brothers of the Zhao family what they had gained.

Five rabbits, three pheasants, and the dirt ridge near the village is almost exhausted. Next time we set up a trap, we will have to go a little farther.

From the sack brought back at noon, I selected three remnants of the Republic of China version of medical books that were used as wipes, and threw them to the three brothers.

It doesn't matter what the content is, the important thing is that the three brothers should read the words above.

Today's medical books are all in traditional Chinese characters, and it is not easy to read them clearly. Let them recite them now, so forget it.

The remnants of the Republic of China, with red punctuation intervals on it, can only be read fluently by three people who have a sentence reader. If they come up, they will throw them a medical book that they can't read.

I'm afraid that the journey of the three brothers of the Zhao family to study medicine will stop at reading sentences.

Seeing the three brothers start to stumble and read the words in the book under the watchful eyes of their old mother Ma Fenglan.

With a smile all over his face, Li Shengli returned to the wing room, lay on his side on the bed, and began to read a medical book he picked up casually.

Hearing the occasional screams from outside the house, Li Shengli was very interested in studying. With the blessing of sticks as thick as his arms, the three brothers must have made great progress in their studies.

After reading the book for a while, the three brothers howled one after another. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Li Shengli to immerse himself in the book, so he had to go to his infirmary in advance.

Master Liu, who was lying on the bed, was in the same situation as Li Shengli. The two of them walked out of the east wing with the medicine box on their backs.

Seeing that Ma Fenglan's big stick was whipping Zhao Laosan's ass, Li Shengli said something more.

"Sister-in-law, the stick is too thick, so don't say hello to your buttocks. It's not easy to heal if you break your femur. Use a stick to whip it."

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family, Ma Fenglan, listened to the persuasion very much, went to the firewood stack and took a stick thick as a thumb, and continued to greet Zhao Laosan.

Hearing the sound of Zhao Laosan already crying and splitting his legs, Master Liu stared at Li Shengli who was walking in front, pouted with disdain.

The two walked all the way to the infirmary, but they were not the first to come. A cart had already parked at the door of the infirmary.

Under the colorful quilt, there was an old face full of pain and despair.

Seeing the patient's expression, Li Shengli's heart skipped a beat. This is a problem in orthopedics.

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have broken the femur."

After muttering something that Master Liu didn't understand very well, Li Shengli walked up to the cart with a smile.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Looking at the wrinkled old face and black hair, Li Shengli knew that this person was not very old, at most in his early fifties.

But apart from his black hair, this patient's appearance is much older than Master Liu's. If his hair is gray, some people will believe that he is seventy.

"Brother Shengli, my name is Zhao Mantun, the fourth brother of Mankui's family. He broke his hip shaft. Can you show me?"

After listening to Zhao Mantun's words, Master Liu suddenly realized that his young master insisted on asking for it, and he could tell where the injury was through a layer of quilt.

"Brother Zhao, I'm afraid this injury will never heal."

Putting his hand under the quilt, Li Shengli knew that it was a fracture of the end of the femur, which was almost terminally ill.

"Uncle, help!
My father is only 53, went to the hospital in the city, and took the film and said the same thing.

We went to three major hospitals and they all said so.

At the beginning of the month, my father almost strangled himself with a belt, you think of a way..."

Faced with the crying of Zhao Mantun's son, Li Shengli shook his head helplessly as he looked at the sad family.

Fracture of the distal end of the femur, also known as the fracture of the front end of the femur, has a more pervasive name: the last fracture in life.

The mortality rate and paralysis rate of later generations are also high. For the elderly aged six to seventy, the fatality rate is above 70%.

Elderly people over the age of 70 have a higher mortality rate after a fracture, and the time period of death is generally within one year.

Such a short-term mortality rate has far exceeded that of some cancer patients.

Those who can survive by chance are mostly those who have good physical fitness and have undergone surgery.

Once paralyzed and bedridden, the mortality rate within one to three years is also extremely high. Few people with unhealed fractures of the front end of the femur live for more than ten years.

Human psychology is a big test, and many elderly patients slowly die of hunger strike.

Like Zhao Mantun, there are not a few people who use their belts to solve themselves on the window lattice or on the bed.

Li Shengli shook his head, Zhao Mantun's family members wanted to kneel down, and he said helplessly:
"There is a bed in the room, carry it in and let me take a closer look.

Go to the courtyard of the village department, and the door over there is wider. "

Li Shengli's arrangement made Mr. Liu behind him frown, thinking, this young master is probably going to do something wrong again.

In Zhao Mantun's family, apart from the one who was more talkative just now, there is also a middle-aged woman, four young men and women, and the youngest one should be about the same age as Zhao's second child.

Zhao Mantun's family has moved into the village compound, Master Liu stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

"Master, where are you singing this?
Bone injuries can be cured if they can be cured, and if they cannot be cured, they cannot be cured.

If it cannot be cured, it must be cured, but don't make trouble for yourself.

We saved Zhang Dingguo in the valley, and we have already made a name for ourselves.

If this thing cannot be cured, let him go as soon as possible. "

Li Shengli's embarrassment was written on his face. Since he said it couldn't be cured, he had to look again. Master Liu felt a little inconsistent.

Fearing that his family's successors would take too many loads, he could only speak out to remind them.

"He was injured for a short period of time, and the fracture surface of the bone injury has not been closed, so it is possible to heal.

But the injury is near the big crotch, so it is difficult to keep it still, and it is difficult to fix the big crotch, which is troublesome.

Besides, he is Zhao Mankui's fourth brother, so instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, let's look at it again..."

Li Shengli's answer obviously did not satisfy Lord Liu. He glanced sideways at his successor and felt that the matter was not that simple.

Seeing that Li Shengli had already opened the door and entered the house, Master Liu had no choice but to follow.

After entering the house, Li Shengli didn't care about the Zhao Mantun family who were busy, but took out the pulse pillow and medicine bottle from the medicine box.

At the same time, I did not forget to clean up some items that were not taken away at noon.

The six members of Zhao Mankui's family parked the cart at the back door and started to work.

After the side-splitting rear doors were opened, the trolley could just pass through, but the high threshold blocked the wheels of the trolley.

"Second and third, you two are in the back, each of you is on the shaft of a cart, you must be steady.

Mother, fourth child, and fifth child, we four are in front, we must catch it, and we must not let go. "

After listening to the arrangement of the boss of Zhao Mantun's family, Li Shengli, who was packing up the medical books, nodded and watched the family carry the cart into the house steadily.

He opened his mouth and stopped Zhao Mantun's family from carrying him to bed.

"When the cart comes in, you don't need to move to the bed. Lift the quilt and let me see."

When the boss of Zhao Mantun's family lifted the quilt, Li Shengli picked up Zhao Mantun's wrist, tested his pulse a little, and carefully looked at his face.

Only then began to slowly test the fracture on Zhao Mantun's femur.

"When did you get hurt?
How did it hurt? "

"My father..."

"I didn't ask you, did you see him when he was injured?
Say it yourself..."

Blocking back the words of the boss of Zhao Mantun's family, Li Shengli looked at Zhao Mantun who was breathing in pain after being pressed, and asked him to answer his own consultation.

"I was injured last month. The old ox pulled the plow and hung a stone. I went to unload the ox, but the ox pulled it down and sat on the plow."

After Zhao Mantun answered, Zhao Mankui happened to enter the infirmary. Looking at his fourth brother, Zhao Mankui's face was also a little ugly.

"Fourth brother..."

"Old Qi, I'm afraid it will be over this time!"

Li Shengli didn't care about the conversation between the two brothers, he just slowly groped for Zhao Mantun's wound.

His wound was five or six centimeters away from the femoral head. The cross-section of the wound was neat, and there should be no bone fragments.

The splint is completely ineffective for the femur wrapped by the thigh muscles. If you want to heal it manually, except for simple bandages, you can only rely on willpower to keep it as still as possible.

Otherwise, once the thigh muscles contract, the section will be separated, and there is no hope of healing at all.

"Victory, my real relative, if you can save it, you must save it!"

Seeing that Li Shengli frowned and said nothing, Zhao Mankui reluctantly opened his mouth. He knew the injury of his fourth brother Zhao Mantun very well. He went to Xiehe and the Army General Hospital.

There is only one treatment method, surgery and bone grafting, and the success rate is not high.

The operation is not small, and the cost is not low. The withdrawal from the village is not enough, and the withdrawal from the village cannot be spent on him alone.

Although there is a cure, the family and the village have no choice but to give up the treatment due to the cost of the operation.

"I can connect the stubble for you, but can you promise not to move?
If you can promise not to move, I can cure you. Only when you eat, drink and scatter without moving, can the stubble grow back.

Otherwise, as soon as my prescription is prescribed, after you drink it, your bones will grow quickly, and once you get the wrong bone stubble, you will be paralyzed. "

Faced with a fracture of the front end of the femur, Li Shengli can set the bone and has a secret recipe, but he cannot guarantee that the patient will not move. Once the fracture is dislocated, there is no hope for the person to stand up again.

"Grandpa, I can!

I also served as a soldier, so I promise not to move. "

Looking at the old Zhao Mantun in front of him, Li Shengli nodded. Those who came out of the army did not all live in the compound, but all were allocated in the city.

Those with low education levels like Zhao Mankui and Zhao Mantun will eventually have to return to the countryside.

"That will do, but I'm going to tie you to the bed.

There are quite a few children in your family, let them take their picks to dig soil turtles at the base of walls and vegetable cellars in dilapidated houses. Now soil turtles are hibernating, so it’s hard to find them.

Ten pieces a day, washed and soaked in boiling water, then baked with tiles, crushed and swallowed with rice wine.

Go buy some Magnolia officinalis and boil water to drink every day.

If it grows well in seven days, it's your fate. If it doesn't grow well, the only thing you need is surgery to set the bone. "

When Li Shengli said the turtle, Master Liu and Zhao Mankui raised their brows, but said nothing.

Send Zhao Mantun's family back, wash him first, and after urinating, he will lie in bed for seven days without moving.

"My lord, I know the use of your tuyuan, what is the magnolia used for?"

Master Liu is very familiar with potions. After all, he has been in contact with it since he was a child.

"Magnolia can relax the muscles and heal the femur. I am most afraid of the contraction of the thigh muscles. Once he can't control it, Magnolia boiled water can help.

Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. "

After working for half an afternoon, Zhao Mantun's wound was reset and fixed with rope and cloth, and the rest of Li Shengli didn't count.

In addition to Zhao Mantun's self-control, luck also played a large part.

It is impossible to sleep without rest for seven days, and a convulsion in a nightmare will lead to a failure.
