On the first day, under Sun Simiao's superb medical skills, the Datura poison was completely removed and Li Chengqian's consciousness returned to normal.
However, the Datura poison had already passed and Li Chengqian's nerves had returned to normal. Very quickly, the intense pain from his leg no longer assaulted Li Chengqian. However, all of this pain was nothing compared to the position of crown prince. Li Chengqian used his great willpower to endure the pain and remain motionless.
"Your Highness, the anesthesia has already worn off. Use alcohol to disinfect the pain. I hope that Your Highness will be able to endure it." On the second day, Mo Wu held the alcohol in his hand and said solemnly. In this era, alcohol was the best disinfectant. Even if it was extremely irritating to the wound, it had to be used.
"Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said. He naturally knew the importance of alcohol disinfection. The key to the success of his surgery was the infection, so how could he underestimate it?
Mo Wu nodded and quickly dipped a cotton swab in alcohol before applying it on Li Chengqian's wound.
"Hiss!"
Li Chengqian could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Even though he was already prepared, the pain from the alcohol almost made him unable to move. Fortunately, he was already mentally prepared and his leg was already fixed, so he was able to endure it.
On the third day, Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao came together. Seeing that Li Chengqian's wound had already healed, they could not help but nod their heads: "Congratulations, Your Highness. The three days of infection has passed and you will need to disinfect it on time. There are no major issues."
Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief. Disinfecting his wound every four hours was not an easy task for him. Fortunately, it was all worth it. As long as he could pass this hurdle, he would no longer have any flaws.
Not only did Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief, even Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the School of Medicine had made sufficient preparations. Li Chengqian had finally passed the three days of danger. Although there was a slight redness and swelling, it did not spread. This was a common occurrence for the School of Medicine and was a normal phenomenon. With the human body's resistance, it was sufficient for him to pass through safely.
On the fourth day, the fifth day … Until the tenth day, Mo Wu personally removed Li Chengqian's stitches. Seeing that the redness and swelling had subsided, he solemnly reported to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's wound has healed well!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince's injuries are no longer a problem." Modun couldn't help but say in delight. With regards to Li Chengqian, he probably understood Li Chengqian better than anyone else. With regards to his experience in the future, he naturally knew how sensitive Li Chengqian's heart was towards foot injuries. It could even be said that the initial cause of Li Chengqian's death was probably due to his foot injuries.
Now that Li Chengqian's foot injuries had been cured by the School of Medicine, if he could regain his confidence, he would definitely be able to change his fate.
"Thank the heavens, thank the heavens." Empress Zhangsun said with a face full of sincerity.
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty, you should be thanking the School of Medicine. The School of Medicine's methods are indeed extraordinary. "
At this moment, he only had gratitude in his heart. Which parent wouldn't wish for their child to have all four limbs? Not only did the School of Medicine save his child, they also saved the Crown Prince of the Tang dynasty. Everyone knew that when a normal person suddenly became disabled, very few people could break through the psychological barrier. However, more often than not, they would develop a paranoid personality. A healthy Crown Prince was too important to the Tang dynasty.
"Many thanks to the School of Medicine." Empress Zhangsun solemnly said to Mo Wu.
Mo Wu immediately returned the greeting and said: "Your Majesty is too kind. This is the School of Medicine's duty."
Meton's heart moved and said: "Replying Your Majesty, regarding the Crown Prince's foot injuries through the School of Medicine, this subject has an idea, but I don't know if I should say it."
"Speak freely!" Li Shimin's mood was very good as he waved his hand and said.
Meton pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Everyone will grow old and die. However, according to the School of Medicine's statistics, the average lifespan of the Tang dynasty is only 35 years old. The average lifespan of the people in the city is higher, around 40 years old. However, the average lifespan of the people in the village is only around 30 years old. Every year, there will be a large number of young adults and infants that die from illness. The reason is because there are too few good doctors and medicines. "
In this era, the cost of people falling sick was very high. Often, an inconspicuous illness could take away a life. Furthermore, in the remote villages, there were countless patients who lacked good doctors and were located in remote areas, which delayed their recovery.
Li Shimin thoughtfully nodded his head. What Meton said was indeed an indisputable fact of the Tang dynasty.
"Does Your Majesty know how many patients Chang An Mo Hospital receives every day?" Merton asked.
"Yes!" Li Shimin looked at Meton in confusion.
Under Meton's signal, Mo Wu said loudly: "Replying Your Majesty, currently, Chang An Mo Hospital receives an average of 3000 patients every day. That's a million patients a year."
"A million patients!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but gasp. A million patients was probably equivalent to the entire population of Chang An. If half of these people could be cured, it would be equivalent to saving 500,000 people in the Tang dynasty every year. This was a great achievement. Li Shimin was moved by the School of Medicine for the first time.
Meton's expression was calm. He wasn't surprised by this result. In the future, a better tertiary Grade A hospital would receive more than this number of patients every day. Of course, this didn't mean that everyone in Chang An was sick. With the convenience of transportation, all the patients who could reach Chang An City rushed to Mo Hospital. As a result, Chang An City's Mo Hospital was overcrowded. This was also the reason why Hua Lao couldn't wait to open a branch hospital in Luoyang. This slightly reduced the pressure on Chang An City's Mo Hospital.
"The School of Medicine has made an outstanding contribution. I will definitely reward you handsomely," Li Shimin said solemnly.
Meton shook his head and said: "Minister, today, I'm not asking for a reward for the School of Medicine. I'm feeling sorry for the School of Medicine. Now that the School of Medicine has just risen, Mo Hospital only covers Chang An and Luoyang. As for the patients in other places, they have been suffering for a long time without good doctors. If the imperial court supports the School of Medicine, everyone in the world can be treated. Countless lives will be saved, and the average lifespan will be greatly increased. "
Li Shimin's heart was moved. He looked at Meton and said: "The imperial court supports the School of Medicine. There's no need to hide it. Kid, if you have any ideas, just say it."
Meton nodded and said: "Minister believes that it's very simple for the imperial court to support the School of Medicine. All we need to do is to gather the famous doctors of the Tang dynasty and set up hospitals so that everyone in the world can be treated."
"Let the Tang dynasty build hospitals?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"The hospital model isn't complicated. It's just to gather all the good doctors in one place and let them specialize in one field. With specialization, their medical skills will definitely improve greatly. Furthermore, the hospital itself has a very strong ability to make profits. The imperial court only needs to invest in the site and herbs in the early stages. In the future, not only will the hospital be self-sufficient, it can even earn a large amount of profit." Meton explained. Take Mo Hospital for example. In the early stages, it only had Li Chengqian to provide the site and the Mo family to provide the funds and Mo skills. Unexpectedly, it had developed so rapidly.
Li Shimin couldn't help but nod. This plan was feasible and didn't cost too much.
