Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Special Patients
Hua Tuo really didn’t know this. When he discovered that the young master who invited him into the city wasn’t here, and instead had a very beautiful girl accompany him, his expression became somewhat ugly. “Young lady, I wonder where that young master went just now. Wasn’t there a lot of patients in the city? Where are they?”

After being warned by Zhang Chao to treat this doctor kindly, Bai Tong, who was of great use in the future, smiled and said, “Miracle Doctor Hua, don’t be anxious. Take your doctor to see the patient now.”

As he spoke, he happened to arrive at the slums. Most of the people living here were ordinary people who didn’t have much money. Normally, even if they were sick, they would just endure it. If they really couldn’t, they would grab a dose of painkillers.

And today, Bai Tong brought Hua Tuo here, saying that this was the second young master asking the doctor to treat everyone.

As soon as this news came out, many civilians immediately ran over. Needless to say, they were all here to see a doctor.

Because of the patient, Hua Tuo had forgotten about Zhang Chao’s departure for a while, so he began to focus on his job of saving and treating patients.

In a large courtyard in the east of the city, Zhang Chao was leading people to clean a room.

This room was a hundred square meters in size. Originally, it was the master bedroom of a wealthy family in the city. After hearing that the yellow scarf thief was coming, he was so scared that he fled. Thus, the house was taken by Zhang Miao, and later, by Zhang Chao, it was in his hands.

“Get rid of everything here, have someone bring clean water to sweep the floor. Also, I’m moving a long bed. I’m useful.” After Zhang Chao looked at the room that he was satisfied with, he said to the personal guard that accompanied him.

With Zhang Chao’s orders, the people below immediately got busy and did what they were told.

Seeing that the room had been cleaned up and everything had been done according to his own requirements, Zhang Chao chuckled and continued to instruct, “Arrange for someone to go to the Zhang Clan Restaurant immediately to get a table of good food. Also, arrange for someone to carry two people seriously ill from external injuries in the barracks. It’s useful for me.”

In the slums, Bai Tong’s presence by Hua Tuo’s side could be considered to have opened her eyes wide. She finally understood why Second Childe respected this doctor so much. Her medical skills were indeed excellent. She had already seen nearly 50 patients in a short while.

It didn’t take long for them to tell the patient’s symptoms, and then they told him how to deal with them, and what kind of medication they needed to use to recuperate.

In short, it was much better than a general practitioner who needed to ask for a long time to get the symptoms.

After seeing dozens of patients, Hua Tuo finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief. After receiving a cup of tea from Bai Tong, he said with a calm expression, “The patient that Young Noble is talking about can’t be them, right? With all due respect, this kind of illness can be treated well by any doctor.”

The meaning of Hua Tuo’s words was very obvious. What he wanted was to see a serious illness, a terminal illness, not a common illness or a minor illness.

Fortunately, Bai Tong was prepared. She chuckled and said, “Divine Transformation Doctor, don’t worry. Second Young Master knows your thoughts and has already made arrangements. Please follow me.”

As Bai Tong spoke, she nodded to the Zhang Family QinBing who had been sent to cooperate with him. Then, she saw that the QinBing had separated the crowd who were queuing up to see a doctor.

This was to invite Hua Tuo to go somewhere else.

Hua Tuo understood after thinking for a moment. Perhaps it was because the second young master wanted to test his medical skills that he made such a move. However, it was fine. He wanted to see what the second young master had prepared for him.

Someone had already told the people that they could go to the nearby pharmacy to see a doctor. There was also a doctor from the hall there. He also said that Second Young Master had allowed those doctors to have free free medical treatment for half a day. Only then would he be able to persuade the people who had rushed over to disperse.

Hua Tuo had already followed Bai Tong to the courtyard in Dongcheng, where Zhang Chao had welcomed him long ago. Then, he held Hua Tuo’s hand and said, “Miracle Doctor Hua, please hurry up. That patient is no longer fit.”

Hearing that the patient was dying, Hua Tuo, needless to say, quickened his pace and followed Zhang Chao into the room that had been prepared long ago.

The room was decorated with a lot of debris. The windows were wide open, allowing the cool breeze to enter at any time.

Because Hua Tuo was in a hurry to treat the patient, he didn’t pay attention to this at all. In his eyes, only the soldier lying on the hospital bed was injured.

There was a long cut and wound on his chest. This was the main symptom.

“Quick, bring my herbal medicine bag.” Seeing that the soldier was obviously breathing heavily and had less air intake, Hua Tuo’s face was also slightly anxious, and then he started his rescue plan.

Half an hour passed. Hua Tuo walked out of the room with a face full of sweat. He saw Zhang Chao who had been waiting here for a long time. Then, he said with a guilty expression, “Young master, I have disappointed your expectations. He was not saved.”

“How about this?” Zhang Chao’s expression did not change. He only lightly nodded his head, as if he had known that this would happen. Then, he pointed to another room and said, “Miracle Doctor Hua, there is still a patient waiting for treatment. Can you go inside and take a look?”

Thinking about how Zhang Chao believed in himself and how he could break his sins, Hua Tuo nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go take a look.”

This time, the room was very clean. The room was full of nothing but a hospital bed. Even the doors and windows were closed properly, preventing the slightest breeze and dust from blowing in. The same was true of a soldier with wounds on his chest.

Seeing that it was actually the same illness, and the illness wasn’t much worse, Hua Tuo’s face revealed a trace of nervousness.

I can’t help but be nervous. Just now, this was the kind of patient who died in front of me.

However, Hua Tuo did not have the habit of backing down. Oh, as a doctor, if you look well, then look. If you don’t look well, then leave. Where did your basic medical ethics go?

“Come, bring me the medicine bag.” Hua Tuo stretched out his hand and prepared to continue trying.

In less than half an hour, Hua Tuo walked out of the room with an excited expression. Then, he saw Zhang Chao waiting and smiled from afar, “Young Master, this time, I did not disappoint my expectations. I saved him.”

“Haha, worthy of being called Miracle Doctor Hua. Amazing! Amazing!” Long Wu was still as expected. After saying these words, he gently waved his hand and said, “I have prepared lunch. I am willing to join the Divine Doctor.”

“Miraculous physician doesn’t dare to do so, but I have to eat.” Hua Tuo was really a little hungry. As the saying goes, people are like iron, food is like steel, and he panicked about not eating at all. He is also a person with flesh and blood, and he also wants to eat.

On the other side of Zhang Chao, there were already dishes and chopsticks, and there was even a jar of heroic drunkenness. Of course, it was the lowest level. Sometimes, proper drinking could relieve the fatigue.

If Hua Tuo was really hungry, he had eaten two large bowls of rice in a short while. This was not bad for a nearly forty-year-old man.

Seeing that Hua Tuo had eaten almost everything in a while, Zhang Chao coughed softly and said something that no one could swallow, “Doctor Hua, do you know why it’s the same illness? You also worked hard, but the result is different?”

Hua Tuo, who was eating, was surprised when Zhang Chao asked, “Why?”

“Don’t you feel that the treatment environment of the same two patients is different?” Zhang Chao laughed and asked.

“Ah!” With these words, Hua Tuo seemed to recall something. Next, he unexpectedly placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then turned around and ran out. Obviously, he wanted to take a look and confirm what he was thinking.

Zhang Chao didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping him. He had even expected Hua Tuo to do this, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the name of a miraculous doctor in his later generations.

In just a short while, Hua Tuo walked back again. However, he had been lowering his head for a while, looking thoughtful.

Seeing that Hua Tuo was seriously thinking, Zhang Chao nodded in satisfaction.

What he wanted was such an effect. He was even more clear that people like Hua Tuo only had patients in their eyes, only illness. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offended Cao Cao and died young. In other words, if he wanted such a person to stay by his side, he would need to take out some methods that interested him.

In his previous life, Zhang Chao didn’t have much contact with medical treatment. At most, he knew some simple life-saving measures. This was also the helplessness on the battlefield. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to point at Hua Tuo and give him some pointers.

However, things like aseptic manipulation were something that ordinary people knew.

Aseptic operation can prevent wound damage and external infection, and play a positive and effective role in better healing patients.

This was something that almost everyone knew in the later generations, but no one knew in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. All of this was due to the underdevelopment of science and technology at that time, just like at this time, they still thought that the sky was round and the earth was square.

This had nothing to do with him, but Zhang Chao also believed that the aseptic surgery he had created should attract Hua Tuo’s attention. As long as he was interested, he would have the possibility of keeping the other party by his side.

“Doctor Hua, I have indeed placed the same two patients in the same two environments just now. One is quiet and sealed, the other is messy and circulating. I believe the final result has confirmed everything.” As Zhang Chao said these words, his gaze was always on Warren, waiting for his opponent’s reaction.

“That’s right.” After a while, Hua Tuo understood everything and nodded in agreement.
