Chapter 25 Saving the Magistrate's Son
Chapter 25 Saving the Magistrate's Son
Throughout the journey, Doctor Chu's eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
He humbly sought advice from Lu Qingqing:
"Madam, to be honest..."
I have been a doctor for many years, but snake venom is a truly difficult disease to treat.
I hope that you, Madam, can explain the ins and outs of this to me.
Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and replied:
"Dr. Chu, you're too kind. Since you've asked..."
Then I will naturally speak frankly and without reservation.
There are many types of snake venom, and the symptoms and antidotes vary greatly from one type to another.
Like common viper venom,
This often leads to severe pain and swelling in the wound;
And this cobra venom,
Just as we suspected the patient,
Coma and fever are common symptoms.
Doctor Chu nodded repeatedly, his eyes focused, as if afraid of missing a single word.
Lu Qingqing continued:
"The key to treating snake venom is to treat the wound as soon as possible to prevent the venom from spreading;
Secondly, it is essential to accurately identify the species of snake and administer appropriate medication.
Some herbs, such as Lobelia chinensis and Paris polyphylla, are remarkably effective in treating snake venom.
As he listened, Doctor Chu kept praising him:
"Madam is truly learned and talented. I have benefited greatly from your guidance today."
Lu Qingqing said modestly:
"Dr. Chu, you flatter me. I only know a little bit about this."
I just hope I can help and save the patient.
The carriage was moving very fast, so it didn't take long for it to travel.
The carriage stopped in front of Baohe Hall in town.
As soon as Lu Qingqing and Doctor Chu got out of the car, the staff of Baohetang swarmed around them.
"Dr. Chu, you're finally back!"
The magistrate was getting very anxious, and his wife had been crying the whole time.
"I can't believe it," one of the men said hurriedly, his face full of anxiety and worry.
Doctor Chu frowned as he hurried into the hall.
While asking:
"How is the young master doing now?"
"Still the same, unconscious, and the bite site is getting more and more red and swollen."
Another guy followed up with a reply.
Lu Qingqing quickened her pace and followed them into Baohe Hall.
at this time,
A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the hall.
The magistrate and his wife came to greet them with eager expressions.
"Dr. Chu, you must save my child!"
The magistrate's wife wept uncontrollably, and the magistrate himself looked deeply sorrowful.
She looked at Doctor Chu with eyes full of expectation.
Doctor Chu hurriedly said:
"Your Excellency, Madam, please don't be anxious."
I have invited a highly skilled expert in snake venom; he will certainly do his best.
As he spoke, he introduced Lu Qingqing to the county magistrate and his wife.
Lu Qingqing bowed slightly and said:
"My lord, madam, please rest assured, I will do my best to save the young master."
Then, he followed the others and quickly walked towards the patient's room.
Lu Qingqing walked quickly to the young master's bedside.
Examine his symptoms carefully.
She first observed the red, swollen, and increasingly swollen wound at the bite site.
He then reached out and touched the young master's burning forehead.
They also checked his pupils and pulse.
After a careful and meticulous inspection, and after confirming it repeatedly,
Lu Qingqing said with a solemn expression:
"It is undoubtedly cobra venom."
Subsequently,
Lu Qingqing turned to face the crowd and said firmly:
"Next, I will detoxify the young master. Please wait outside."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate's wife
A look of hesitation immediately appeared on his face.
She held her son's hand tightly and said worriedly:
"Will this... will this work?"
The magistrate, however, appeared quite decisive at this moment.
His gaze towards Lu Qingqing held a hint of expectation and trust.
Said:
"Madam, at this moment we can only trust this young lady and let her do her best to treat her."
After saying that, he pulled the magistrate's wife along.
They also asked everyone else in the house to leave.
After everyone left, Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She closed her eyes and silently went through the steps to detoxify in her mind.
Then, on a whim, she took out the necessary medical supplies and serum from the laboratory.
Her movements were skillful and steady.
First, I carefully cleaned the pus and blood around the wound.
Then the serum was slowly injected into the young master's body.
Then apply a special herbal compress.
Throughout the process,
Lu Qingqing was completely focused, and her forehead gradually became covered with fine beads of sweat.
But her hands remained steady and precise.
Not overlooking any detail
All she wanted was for the young master to get out of danger as soon as possible.
Fortunately, about fifteen minutes after Lu Qingqing received the serum,
The young master's previously dark purple face returned to normal.
Lu Qingqing kept a close eye on the young master's changes.
Seeing this scene,
The tension in her heart finally eased a little.
She gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She reached out and touched the young master's forehead again; his temperature had dropped.
Lu Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself:
"Great, it seems the serum is working."
By this time, the people waiting outside the door were already extremely anxious.
The magistrate's wife kept peeking into the room.
The county magistrate paced back and forth, his hands clenched tightly.
After a short while, Lu Qingqing opened the door and smiled as she addressed everyone:
"The young master's condition has stabilized."
She'll probably wake up soon.
I'll prescribe him some medicine.
He will recover as long as he takes the medication on time every day and rests for a few days.
Upon hearing this, the magistrate and his wife were moved to tears and repeatedly thanked Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing looked at the magistrate and his wife, who were anxiously waiting outside the door.
He said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, Madam, you may now go in and see the young master."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
It was as if he had remembered something.
Addendum:
"However, the young master is still very weak and needs to rest."
Do not disturb him.
I'll go write a prescription for follow-up treatment first.
Lu Qingqing walked to the counter,
When Manager Hu saw her coming, he immediately and quickly handed her paper and pen.
His face was full of joy and admiration.
He praised it repeatedly:
"I never imagined you, Madam Lu, were so capable! You've truly been hiding your abilities."
I was blind before; I didn't recognize a great person.
I hope Madam Lu will not take offense.
Lu Qingqing waved her hand gently and said:
"Manager Hu, you're too kind. Saving lives is the priority; nothing else matters."
After all,
She then bent over the counter and began writing the prescription with great concentration.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was focused.
Every stroke was written with utmost care.
It was as if they were carrying out an extremely important mission.
Manager Hu watched quietly from the side.
I didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing her.
After a while,
Lu Qingqing finally finished writing the prescription.
She gently blew the ink off the paper, handed it to Manager Hu, and carefully explained:
"Manager Hu, please prepare the medicine according to this prescription and decoct it for consumption on time every day."
"The young master will be fully recovered in a few days."
Manager Hu accepted the prescription with both hands, nodding repeatedly in agreement:
"Don't worry, Madam Lu, I will do as you say."
at this time,
The magistrate's wife's excited voice came from inside:
"My son, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you!"
The voice trembled.
Filled with boundless joy and a sense of relief,
Immediately following was the magistrate's wife's emotional weeping.
The sobs contained both relief and lingering fear.
The crying seemed to be contagious, bringing tears to the eyes of everyone present.
The magistrate also hurried into the house, tears glistening in his eyes.
He reached out his trembling hand and gently stroked his son's face, his voice choked with emotion as he said:
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!"
Lu Qingqing and Manager Hu were also moved when they heard the crying.
A relieved smile appeared on Lu Qingqing's face.
The weight on my heart has finally been lifted.
Manager Hu muttered to himself:
"Thank God, the young master is very lucky and has a long life."
Inside the house, the magistrate's wife held her son tightly in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
The young master said weakly:
"Mom, don't cry, I'm alright now."
But these words only made the magistrate's wife cry even harder.
The family was immersed in the joy and emotion of surviving the ordeal.
