“I… I never thought such a skilled healer existed…”
“You mean to tell me that even after removing the intestines, the person is still alive?”
“This seems to be a medical technique that harnesses luck.”
After boiling the water, it is cooled down. Then the soiled intestine is cleaned. After that, a part of the intestine is carefully sutured and put back into the abdomen.
Before putting the intestine back, it was natural to thoroughly clean the inside of the body with a clean cloth combined with herbs. Then the wounds are stitched up.
The hands of the young boy performing the task had incredible speed and precision.
And it was natural that the other physicians who witnessed it were filled with astonishment. Although it was a world where martial arts existed, the foundation of medical techniques was based on traditional Eastern medicine.
In terms of medicine, it may be strong in internal medicine such as poison and diseases, but it can be considered weak in trauma treatment such as severed organs.
It is only natural in a world where they doesn’t even know about germs. Hence, the awe and admiration.
However, Jin Cheon-hee, who was receiving such praise, was cursing inwardly.
‘Damn it, can this person survive? I don’t know. There will probably be a secondary infection. There’s no suction device, no disinfectant…’
Jin Cheon-hee’s face became distressed.
Without a suction device, he had to clean the blood and filth inside the abdomen with a cloth soaked in elixirs and herbs. And naturally, there would be more foreign substances left inside.
And he couldn’t use his hands anymore.
‘I hope Qi, the universal energy, could have a good effect…’
In this world, what is called Qi has effects that are close to omnipotence. With enough Qi, one can survive even after ingesting poison.
Moreover, special martial arts can regenerate the body like a lizard.
‘If Qi could kill the secondary infection inside the intestine…’
With that thought, Jin Cheon-hee moved on.
There were still more patients remaining.
From the battle that took place overnight, there were 35 minor injuries and 12 severe injuries.
Among the severely injured, there were six patients whom Baek Rin Eui-seon deemed unable to be saved.
Those six referred to individuals whose organs were severely damaged or had suffered significant bodily harm.
‘Still, acupuncture is truly amazing. Vital signs are fairly stable, and anesthesia is possible. This level of bleeding would usually result in death.’
While thinking such thoughts, Jin Cheon-hee quickly moved towards the next patient.
It was someone with a pierced lung.
Upon reaching the patient, Jin Cheon-hee thought so and grabbed a dagger.
It was slightly larger than a scalpel but still a very small knife compared to other weapons of this era.
It was called a Bido(飛刀).
“Stop gawking and hold this! Hurry up!
“Ah, understood!”
The physicians were not just here to observe. Jin Cheon-hee had called them here to assist him in the surgery.
Under the permission of Woon Ji-sang, the physicians were following Jin Cheon-hee’s instructions.
First, while grasping the dagger that pierced the lung, he shouted, “Acupuncture! Quickly!”
Normally, he would use a forceps to hold the blood vessels, but Gangho had an excellent method called acupuncture. Just by stopping the bleeding, the success rate of the surgery would increase dramatically.
At that moment, a large, white, and beautiful hand suddenly appeared.
SFX: PAT, PAPAPAT!
His pressed near the right lung that was pierced.
‘Uh…’
Baek Rin Eui-seon was there beside him.
“Is that okay?”
Jin Cheon-hee was about to answer but bit his lip. Then he nodded and exerted force in his hand.
“I’ll remove it. Please take care of the other patients.”
SFX: SWOOSH!
The dagger was pulled, and blood flowed out.
Jin Cheon-hee’s brows furrowed. Seeing that, Baek Rin Eui-seon asked,
“Is the blood the problem?”
He nodded.
Without saying a word, Jin Cheon-hee just nodded and tried to get a cloth.
“Please wait a moment, Yoo Ho.”
“Yes, Master.”
‘Yoo Ho? Why is he here again?’
Hearing his voice, Jin Cheon-hee raised his head with a slight doubt. Then something amazing happened.
SFX: SHOOOO!
The blood that filled lung was sucked up into the air. It moved directly towards Yoo Ho’s hand.
‘OMG! Empty Space!’
Empty Space
A martial arts technique that used Qi energy to levitate or pull objects through the air. It was said to have a similar effect to telekinesis. Directly witnessing it, Jin Cheon-hee was beyond astonished.
“Is that okay?”
Amidst his astonishment, Baek Rin Eui-seon’s voice rang out.
Jin Cheon-hee collected himself and nodded.
“Yes, it’s good.”
Then he immediately checked the lung and examined the wound.
TO BE CONTINUED…
