Chapter 1914: Cutting the Kidney
Li Shen also realized that he was a little excited just now, and said quickly:
"Yes, what Divine Doctor Sun said is absolutely right. I will practice martial arts frequently."
The women standing by felt mixed emotions after hearing what Sun Simiao said. They were happy that Prince Ji had recovered a little and was not completely unable to have children.
What worries me is that I don’t know when Prince Ji will be able to recover. From what Sun Simiao said, it seems that he has only recovered a little.
"Doctor Sun, what should the prince eat to make him feel better?"
Lu Dingniang asked.
“My dear Princess, I will write a prescription for you later, along with some recipes.
I have been studying the medicinal diet that the prince mentioned, and I have come up with some new ones."
Sun Simiao replied that he had received a lot of inspiration and some brilliant ideas from Li Shen, which gave him a direction for his research.
Some things even seemed unbelievable to him.
For example, Prince Ji once said that if a person's internal organs are damaged, they can be replaced. When Sun Simiao heard Li Shen's words, he was really shocked.
If Sun Simiao had not followed King Ji for many years and had not known King Ji well,
He would think that Prince Ji was a follower of some evil cult, or the kind that eats human hearts and livers.
Fortunately, Li Shen added that it is impossible to do so with the current level of medical technology.
Li Shen said at the time that the innate condition was to first understand your blood type, and then you could try your luck.
Only if you have the same blood type will you have a chance of hitting the jackpot, but this chance may be less than 10%.
Sun Simiao was still skeptical about what Li Shen said, but after the appendicitis surgery, he still believed it a little bit.
Seeing Prince Ji chatting with Sun Simiao, Lu Dingniang stood up and led the women away to prepare meals.
"Your Majesty, last time you said that a person can survive without a kidney. Is that true?"
Sun Simiao thought of something and asked.
“Yes, people have two kidneys, and they can survive if one is removed, but their body may become much weaker and they may not be able to work.
What's wrong?" Li Shen nodded.
"Well... Your Majesty, there is one thing I forgot to report." Sun Simiao hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Li Shen was curious.
"Your Majesty, two months ago we had a patient who was suffering from severe edema, urinary retention, and constipation.
The person is weak, has a weak pulse, and suffers from kidney deficiency and water retention.
According to the Taoist's judgment, this man is already terminally ill and will not live long. Based on what the prince said to the Taoist, it seems that his kidneys are damaged.
It is said in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine that the kidney is the gate of the stomach. If the gate is not functioning properly, water will gather and follow its kind.
The old Taoist used a lot of medicine, but the condition did not improve, so...”
Sun Simiao paused here, looking somewhat guilty.
"So what?" Li Shen asked.
"So my mentor and I performed an operation on this man." Li Xiuwei, who was standing aside, added when he saw Sun Simiao's embarrassment.
"What? You're cutting off people's kidneys? No, you're cutting off their kidneys?" Li Shen stood up suddenly, with an incredible look on his face.
This is too bold. This is just a theory. These two people dare to cut people's kidneys. Which park did you two travel from?
"Your Highness, yes." Sun Simiao nodded.
"How's that guy doing?"
"died."
"died?"
Li Shen did not expect Sun Simiao to answer so straightforwardly, saying directly that the person was dead.
It's so easy to say.
"Your Highness, he is indeed dead. It has been less than three days since the operation."
Li Xiuwei nodded calmly. They didn't expect this to happen, he died within three days.
"He lived for another three days?" Li Shen was even more surprised. He actually lived for another three days and didn't die immediately. It was truly a medical miracle.
“Your Majesty, we are also summing up our experience and have been thinking about why this person died.
Logically, since he could live for three days, he should have a chance of survival.
But so far, we have no idea why.”
Sun Simiao's eyes were full of curiosity. He looked at Li Shen, hoping that Li Shen could give him an answer.
But how could Li Shen know this? He told Sun Simiao to give him hope and a goal.
But this goal still requires continuous hard work, study and summary of experience and lessons.
Who knew that this medical fanatic would now conduct experiments on real people.
“Dr. Sun, you also know that I only have a limited understanding of medicine.
I know nothing about this matter either.
What I told you is just speculation. You should study it carefully.
We shouldn't just use real people for experiments.
This is a life.”
There was a hint of blame in Li Shen's words. No matter what, we cannot use real people for experiments.
At least practice on a corpse first.
"Alas~~~Your Highness is right. I feel a little guilty as well."
Sun Simiao sighed.
Li Xiuwei on the side explained:
“Your Highness Prince Ji, Master also considered it over and over again before deciding to perform surgery on this patient.
At that time, the patient and his family had already been told that the patient would not live long, and my teacher estimated that he would only have more than three months to live.
Ask them if they want to take a gamble. If they succeed, they can continue to live.
The patient and his family thought about it for three days and finally agreed to give it a try, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.”
Li Xiuwei also expressed regret. They all wanted to succeed. If they really succeeded, it would be a great feat.
Their names will be recorded in history for thousands of years.
Even in the modern world, they would be shocked and admired by thousands of people. If anyone could take out a kidney from a person and the person would not die, it would be a magical skill.
But unfortunately, the operation failed.
Li Shen calmed down after hearing Li Xiuwei's words. He nodded to show that he understood.
When people reach that time, most of them would choose to take a chance. Death is death anyway, so what if they succeed?
This is human nature. As long as the patient and family agree, there will be no other problems.
"How did you deal with the aftermath?" Thinking of this, Li Shen asked Li Xiuwei.
He is the dean, so of course he is responsible for such matters. Sun Simiao will not get involved.
“In reply to King Ji, we have already promised in advance that if the operation fails, we will cover his funeral expenses and invite a senior monk to pray for the patient and chant the mantra for rebirth for seven days.
After the work is done, I will give you 10 strings of cash as resettlement allowance."
Li Xiuwei did a very good job, taking care of both the living and the dead. These ten strings of money were not a small sum for ordinary people like them.
I'm going to die anyway, and I can bring ten strings of money to my family after death, so it can be considered a worthy death.
However, Li Shen frowned. Ten strings of cash for a life? Not even as much as the reward he got this time.
Ten strings of money is ten thousand, which is the price of a bucket of wine for Li Bai to buy a life. It is true that human life is worthless.
"Li Xiuwei, give him fifty strings of cash. After all, he came here for medical purposes, and we shouldn't treat him unfairly.
Although history cannot remember him, at least we can compensate him a little more.
Fifty strings of cash is not as expensive as a jar of wine from Jingpin Pavilion, so give it to me."
Li Shen sighed.
