Chapter 685: Chapter 674 Scanning

"Isn’t Old Madam Ji there? Can’t she make the decisions?"

Doctor Ji sighed, "Old Madam Ji is too fond of her grandson..."

Manbao was puzzled, but Doctor Ji said no more, instead waving his hand and saying, "Alright, let’s go."

Just as he opened the door, Doctor Ji seemed to recall something and curiously asked, "Can acupuncture reduce a fever?"

Manbao blinked, "Acupuncture can reduce a fever. Didn’t you know that?"

"Of course, I know, but I’m not talking about high fevers caused by external pathogens or other reasons. I mean the high fever caused by an infected wound; can it be reduced?"

"That, I haven’t tried it. Shall I give it a try when I get back tonight?"

Doctor Ji then opened the door and muttered, "How could you test that? If you don’t know, you don’t know, if you don’t understand, just say so."

Manbao asked, "Doctor Ji, may I take a look at Ji Hao?"

I’ll spend points later for Keke to scan the other party’s physical data, and I will set up a humanoid model tonight, then I can try out various methods in turn.

Thinking this way, Manbao’s eyes brightened. Right, there aren’t any real people with slashed bellies in reality, but humanoid models can be used.

Why did she only think of sticking needles into the humanoid model and never thought of making more cuts on it?

Manbao’s eyes shone as she asked, "Doctor Ji, have you encountered any other strange patients? What do their medical records look like—for example, someone with a broken leg, a broken hand, or injuries to the belly or chest..."

Doctor Ji: "Can anyone even survive with a broken chest? I’ve rarely seen such cases. Don’t bother me with this. Once this is over, I’ll introduce you to Imperial Physician Fan. He used to be a military doctor on the battlefield and has seen all kinds of traumatic injuries, even those with half their neck chopped off."

Manbao startled, asked, "Then, can they be saved?"

"No, and because their necks were sewn up neatly before they were buried, the goal is to leave the body intact for burial as much as possible. Otherwise, what if they reincarnate and end up maimed in the next life?"

Both Manbao and Bai Shan instinctively stiffened their backs, feeling a chill around their necks.

Seeing that neither of them was frightened, Doctor Ji was satisfied. "As expected of those with the makings of a physician, very good. Come on, go wash your hands and change clothes, and I’ll take you to see Ji Hao."

He still wanted to let Manbao see for himself, because no one knew how much medical knowledge she had in her hands or memorized in her head.

Anyway, every time they discussed medical records, he could always learn something from her.

Bai Shan said, "I’m going, too."

Doctor Ji glanced at Bai Shan and agreed.

As one of Ji Hao’s primary physicians, he naturally could take Manbao and Bai Shan in with him.

After Manbao and Bai Shan had changed their outer garments and sanitized their hands, Imperial Physician Fan, Doctor Chen, and Doctor Ding were all waiting in the courtyard.

Doctor Ji stood to one side, his gaze lowered, showing no intention of explaining anything further to them, and he led the two inside.

Imperial Physician Fan and the other two did not ask questions and followed behind into the room.

Inside the room, only an old nurse and a xiaosi stood guard. Upon seeing Doctor Ji and the others enter, they immediately stood up to greet them.

The xiaosi might have been alright, but the old nurse hesitated upon seeing Manbao, then lowered her gaze and stood to the side.

Manbao stepped forward to examine Ji Hao and saw that his complexion was still somewhat pale, but he seemed much more stable in his breathing, and his forehead was covered with a neatly folded towel to bring down his temperature.

Manbao reached out to remove the blanket covering him and lifted his inner garment to inspect the stitched wound closely.

As Doctor Ji had said, the stitching was not very good, but not too bad either—at least it was not festering, only red around the wound.

She turned around and washed her hands once more, waiting awhile before touching the temperature of his wound.

Manbao adjusted his clothes properly and covered him back up with the blanket, then proceeded to take his pulse.

Bai Shan quietly stood by, her gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone present.

After taking his pulse, Manbao had an idea in her mind. She withdrew her hand and nodded towards Doctor Ji, at the same time communicating with Keke, "How is it going, did you get the scan?"

"Mhm, the scan is mostly clear. It consumed a total of twenty-eight points."

Manbao’s teeth ached at the expense and she silently questioned, "Why is it so expensive?"

"The subject’s condition is relatively complex, and we charge based on standards," Keke explained with enthusiasm, given that the host seldom spent. "Actually, the scanning comes in many types too. We can provide much more detailed scanning, which requires some equipment, but it’s definitely worth the price. Host, would you like to try it?"

"No," Manbao refused, "Do you think I can take out any equipment right now?"

That was indeed the case, and Keke felt quite disappointed.

Everyone left the room and stood talking in the courtyard. The old nurse also came out, standing at the door watching them.

Imperial Physician Fan asked Manbao, "Young lady, after observing, do you have any thoughts?"

"The inflammation needs to be reduced, and it seems he is still bleeding internally." Manbao looked at Doctor Ji, uncertain.

Doctor Ji nodded, "Very little, but since the wound is not healing well, there will be some bleeding. We need to both tonic the blood and stop the bleeding, and reduce the inflammation..."

Doctor Ji sighed, his hair had been falling out in clumps these past few days.

Manbao mused, "I remember a herb called Chinese ginseng that can both tonic the blood and stop bleeding."

"Chinese ginseng?" Doctor Ji frowned, "That’s used in the southwest as a trauma medicine. I’ve only heard it can stop bleeding; I’ve never heard that it can also tonic the blood."

Manbao was confident she had not remembered the properties of the herb incorrectly, and after silently reciting it once more to confirm, she nodded decisively, "It’s possible."

Imperial Physician Fan immediately asked, "Is there a compatible prescription?"

Manbao cautiously replied, "I need to look it up when I get back."

With a new drug property and their unfamiliarity with Chinese ginseng, they naturally didn’t dare to use it rashly, and a single herb’s compatibility usually required many tests to confirm.

Obviously, they couldn’t use the esteemed Young Master Ji as a test subject, so having an existing mature prescription or compatibility suggestion would be the best.

The drugs also need to have a harmonious sovereign-minister relationship.

Manbao went to change her outerwear and, along with Bai Shan, bid farewell to everyone.

The old nurse watched them leave; their conversation was too quiet, and she felt it inappropriate to intrude closer, so she didn’t hear what they discussed. But from the looks of Imperial Physician Fan, it seemed he was asking the young lady something.

The old nurse always thought that young lady was strange—though she was brought by Doctor Ji, she could perform acupuncture techniques that Doctor Ji couldn’t. Yet judging by her appearance, she didn’t seem to be more skilled in medicine than Doctor Ji, so the old nurse suspected she had a family member who was highly skilled in medicine.

After pondering for a while, the old nurse quietly went to the front yard to find the Old Madam.

During the noon rest, the Old Madam came to find Doctor Ji personally. Doctor Ji had already prepared his response, "That girl is just very good at studying, she has memorized many medical texts. Her medical skills are not much now, but she has a lot of knowledge in her head, so I took her to see the Young Master. Maybe she’ll think of something."
