Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 738 - 733: A Plea for Help

As for the outsiders who ca to the clan, naturally Lin Wanwan didn’t need to send soone to inquire. So clan mbers who were standing close to the village entrance had already run over there.

A mont later, the people from Lu Family Manor were escorted to the Lin Clan Leader’s presence.

Lin Clan Leader recognized the visitors— they were indeed the second son from the Lu Clan leader’s family.

"Uncle Lin, my elder brother is not doing well. We ca to ask you to lend us a boat; we want to go to Xiaoxi Town to seek dical help."

"Alright, no problem. ngjin, prepare the boat imdiately," Lin Clan Leader instructed promptly. "What’s wrong with your elder brother? I saw him fine the day before yesterday. How did he fall so ill so quickly?"

On the wagon from Lu Family Manor lay a person.

Lin Wanwan stepped forward to take a look. The young man was curled up, a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead, and his hand held over the lower right side of his abdon, which made Lin Wanwan’s expression subtly shift.

"I’ll handle this." Lin Wanwan stepped forward, "Everyone step aside, let take a look."

"Wanwan, this..." Lin Clan Leader wanted to advise Lin Wanwan not to get involved but reconsidered; after all, this was a matter of treating and saving a life, which should not be stopped. So he gave a signal, and the people from Lin Family Manor cleared the way.

The people carrying the person over from Lu Family Manor heard the commotion and noticed Lin Wanwan stepping forward. Just by seeing her attire of silk and satin, they knew her identity.

No need to say, this was surely the fad Lady Le’an, the living goddess of rcy in the vicinity.

She had brought so many high-yield food crops and economically valuable cotton to the community, making Lin Wanwan a natural favorite here.

The Lu Family Manor people didn’t know Lin Wanwan had returned from Chang’an, assuming once one went to Chang’an, they’d naturally never co back.

What kind of place was Chang’an? Even the Emperor invited her over there; why would there be any reason to return to this remote coastal village?

Seeing Lin Wanwan actually standing there, they were instantly thrilled; Lady Le’an’s na as a Divine Doctor was renowned!

"Village Lady! Please save my older brother!" The second son of the Lu Clan leader imdiately knelt before Lin Wanwan, with clansn of the Lin Family quickly pulling him up.

It wasn’t that they thought Lin Wanwan couldn’t endure the courtesy, but they had the rule of not letting outsiders directly seek dical help from Lin Wanwan.

After all, Wanwan was not a dical worker. Though skilled in dicine, she only treated people within the clan, ignoring outsiders.

The Lu family ca over mainly to borrow a boat, rely chancing upon her.

Lin Wanwan had already made up her mind—having studied traditional Chinese dicine and morized "Great Doctor’s Sincerity," how could she ignore the ergency of an acute abdominal condition?

"It’s fine, let take a look."

While speaking, Lin Wanwan had already approached the cart, starting a physical examination and detailed diagnosis of Cun, Guan, and Chi, asking questions occasionally.

The elder brother from the Lu family showed symptoms of fever on the surface, belly distension and pain, nausea and dry heaving, and upon inquiry, he hadn’t passed stool for two days, indicating symptoms of constipation.

The surrounding people crowded around into a circle; Qingyu squeezed inside, watching Lin Wanwan diagnose the pulse seriously with a face full of admiration.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lin Wanwan withdrew her hand and said, "The patient’s pulse moves along the Hand Yangming Large Intestine ridian, descending to the large intestine and exhibiting signs of pathological heat. The pain is bouncing upon pressing—it’s undoubtedly a case of intestinal abscess."

Intestinal abscess, in modern dical terms, is acute appendicitis.

If it were in modern tis, such ergencies would primarily be treated by Western dicine directly handling infection treatnt. If dicine doesn’t work, endoscopic drainage is perford.

If conservative treatnts prove ineffective, surgery is done directly. Barring any particularly bad luck, it usually doesn’t result in severe consequences.

In ancient tis, treating this illness hinged on luck, as acute appendicitis could easily be confused with cholecystitis and gastritis.

In truth, misdiagnosis rates for appendicitis are rather high. In modern dicine, before surgery, they often add a clause in the family’s consent form: If during the surgery the doctor finds it isn’t appendicitis, they are authorized to adjust the surgical plan.

Translated into ancient tis, if the initial diagnosis by the Chinese dicine practitioner is not up to par, and ti is wasted, it can be life-threatening.

After all, acute appendicitis develops suddenly and aggressively, and can be fatal if severe.

Though Lin Wanwan hadn’t treated acute appendicitis personally, it just so happened she had seen a case while studying under Master Sun Simiao.

Besides, all the patient’s symptoms matched up, and Lin Wanwan believed she wouldn’t be mistaken.

The most challenging part in Chinese dicine is differentiation; right diagnosis and the symptoms fade.

Anyway, just go ahead and treat!

In the Great Tang, Lin Wanwan was bolder than in modern tis.

Because she believed she was currently the best option for the patient. Even if they imdiately set sail to Xiaoxi Town for treatnt, they couldn’t guarantee finding soone with superior dical skills.

The best few Chinese dicine practitioners were stationed at the county governnt. Before Lin Wanwan underwent further training in Chang’an, only Zhen Quan’s disciple Chen Liang had better dical skills than her; the others were more or less equal.

Now she had been taught personally by old Master Sun and Master Liang for several months, coupled with the ti anomaly; compared to before she left for Chang’an, she was a completely different caliber.

"Move him to the inverted room, get a bed for him to rest, and leave soone to care for him; you all will stay at Lin Family Manor these days," Lin Wanwan began giving orders.

With her dual identity as a Village Lady and healer, naturally, her words were followed promptly.

However, Lin Clan Leader hesitated a bit: "Wanwan, no need to settle in your house; the workshop still has open space. We can clear so for them."

Lin Wanwan waved her hand and said, "It’s fine, Clan Leader Uncle. The inverted room is where the servants stay; it won’t affect my main house. He’s closer, so it’s convenient for to observe frequently."

Seeing Lin Wanwan insist, Lin Clan Leader no longer advised against it.

The people from Lu Family Manor imdiately started pushing the cart, following Lin Wanwan towards Lin Mansion.

In this seaside village, Lin Wanwan’s courtyard and her academy’s four-sided courtyard stood out clearly.

As for which was the academy and which was the private ho, it was quite distinct; there would be no mix-up.

Since Lin Wanwan was going to treat and save soone, the onlookers dispersed.

Those who needed to work went back to work, those who were going to butcher sheep continued doing so. The patient from Lu Family Manor, even though he was the clan leader’s eldest son, didn’t disrupt Lin Family Manor’s welco banquet for Lin Wanwan.

Upon returning ho, Lin Wanwan didn’t hesitate and imdiately took out her needles to administer acupuncture treatnt to the elder brother from Lu Family.

Alcohol gel and cotton were regular supplies for Lin Wanwan; they were permanently in her barefoot doctor’s kit.

After sterilizing, she began needling.

In Chinese dicine for acute appendicitis, it’s treated according to intestinal abscess, and the quickest effect cos from acupuncture. Acute appendicitis is mainly treated with acupuncture at the appendix, Zusanli, and right Tienshu.

As Lin Wanwan inserted the needles, bouncing occurred; the elder brother softly whimpered, saying it was a bit painful.

This needle was for strong stimulation; distension and bouncing were normal phenona.

Typically, acupuncture is based on the patient’s constitution; if they’re weak, strong stimulation acupuncture isn’t suitable.

But the elder brother from Lu Family was a farr, only in his twenties; he was sturdy and suitable for strong stimulation.

Lin Wanwan’s needle produced a strong sensation in him, indicating a successful procedure.
