Chapter 40 Wound dressing
In order to improve the effect of tying and stopping bleeding, Garris first tied a bow-like knot, then passed a wooden stick through two rope buckles. By constantly rotating the wooden stick, it had the effect of pressurizing the binding. After feeling that the tightness was suitable, the lid was tied. Reese tied a knot with the extended cloth strip and fixed the wooden stick.
After finishing the binding, Garris did not rush to the next step, but kept comforting the young man.
"It's okay, that snake is not venomous."
"Don't worry, everything will be taken care of..."
"Take a deep breath, we can figure this out together."
With soft words and light movements, Garris reveals his personal charm and infects the emotions of others, making people feel inexplicably reassured.
When the boy's father arrived a little later with soap, a knife, and a bucket of well water, Dr. Abdullah arrived too.
After taking a look at the color and pattern of the venomous snake, Abdullah's originally anxious look relaxed a little. After seeing where Garris was tying up the boy, he was not in a hurry to interfere with what Garris was doing.
"Doctor, that Frank..." A passerby approached Abdullah and expressed his worries.
Abdullah waved his hand and said it was okay.
Even the boy's father, after Abdullah came over, looked at the doctor for help.
"Do as he says."
After hearing Abdullah's words, the boy's father walked to Garis with what Garis needed.
Garris didn't say much. He threw the expensive soap into the bucket without feeling distressed, drew out the soapy water, and then began to wash the boy's wound bitten by the poisonous snake.
Up to this point, it is still in the memory of the past life, and it is about the normal scope of ordinary people rescuing poisonous snake bites.
One thing worth noting is that Garris knew that sucking out poisonous blood with his mouth was not a reasonable rescue method.
Firstly, it is easy to cause the poisonous blood to spread near the wound. Secondly, it is easy to poison the rescuer himself. Thirdly, the efficiency of sucking out the poisonous blood is actually quite doubtful.
After the initial wound cleaning, Garris had to perform some self-rescue operations that are not recommended for ordinary people after being bitten by a venomous snake.
After the boy was bitten by a venomous snake, he was obviously very excited. He stepped on the venomous snake and kicked it away, so that the venomous fangs still remained in the wound.
Generally speaking, for ordinary people to save themselves, it is not recommended to pull out the fangs on their own, as this may easily cause the secondary spread of venom.
But for Garris, this is actually not difficult.
The four words "sharp eyesight and quick hands" are the most intuitive expression of Garris' ability today.
In the moment before the boy could react, the wound on his foot was cut just right, and then Garris dug out the fangs.
Such quick and steady movements would be a spectacle for ordinary people, but Abdullah, an expert, was astonished.
This is something that many old doctors find difficult to achieve, and this kind of steady mind is something that ordinary young apprentices do not possess.
After incising the wound and removing the fangs, Garris washed the boy's wound with soapy water again.
The nature of soapy water is relatively mild. During the process of cleaning wounds, it can avoid irritating reactions, reduce the risk of infection, and can also remove a lot of venom from wounds.
After completing this step, Garris turned his attention to Dr. Abdullah for help. Up to this moment, he had done everything he could, and there was nothing he could do from now on.
Abdullah's old face, wrinkled by time, showed a smile. He shook his head slightly and expressed his approval to Garris.
"You did a good job, leave the rest to me." He came to the young man's side, and like Garris, he comforted the patient with a few words again, keeping the patient's calm state of mind, which is indispensable in this kind of first aid. of.
Compared to the Franks from other places, Abdullah was obviously more convincing. His few words made the boy stop sobbing completely.
Then he took out the newly prepared ointment from the medicine box he carried with him, applied it to the wound, and then bandaged it with a clean and new bandage.
Although Arab doctors of this era did not realize the existence of microorganisms, their understanding and treatment of wound infections were more than one level higher than their European barber counterparts at the same time.
At least Arab doctors will try their best to clean the wound and use herbs with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to bandage it. Even the bandage will be carefully washed and kept clean.
The surrounding passers-by calmed down after seeing Abdullah take action.
Compared with strange Franks with unknown origins, it is an old doctor like Abdullah who can win their trust.
Perhaps it was because the venomous snake was not extremely venomous in the first place, or maybe it was because Garris handled the wound just right, or maybe it was because Abdullah's ointment was really miraculous.
In short, although the boy's leg was still swollen, there seemed to be no more abnormal symptoms.
Even if his face was slightly flushed, it was just a normal sign of mild poisoning. After Abdullah returned to his medical clinic, he prescribed some herbal medicine and asked the father to take it away.
Garris also followed him all the way back to the hospital.
After sending the father away, the hospital became much quieter, and Garris and Abdullah took their seats.
Garris noticed that the outline of the face of the apprentice busy in the medical clinic seemed somewhat similar to that of Abdullah.
"That's great, young man. Franks like you are rare."
With that said, Abdullah ordered his apprentice to pour a glass of water and pass it to Garis. He also took a glass and began to drink it slowly. The previous busy work was quite tiring for an old man like him. .
Abdullah has always been fond of capable, knowledgeable and benevolent people like Gairis. In the licensing assessment of Arab doctors, medical ethics is highly valued.
Although this will not put an end to opportunism by some well-dressed beasts, at least Abdullah himself approves of it.
"Is there anything you want to do in our town? Old man, I'm quite humble in this town."
"Sir, just Ahmed..."
As soon as Gareth suggested the name.
Abdullah nodded firmly to express his objection.
"No, that person can't."
Gairis sighed and realized that Abdullah was unhappy with Ahmed. He continued: "I broke into Ahmed's yard and killed half of his family. Now..."< br>
Before he could finish hearing these words, Abdullah's good self-control was suddenly broken. He couldn't hold back the water in his mouth and spurted it out with a pop.
"Huh?"
