My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1085 - 427: Requesting Maggots, a Thousand Maggots D

If a person even loses their conscience, can they still be considered human?

Not much different from a beast.

"I’ve co over this ti to ask for your help, not to invite you to consult on a case. I want to ask if you could get about a thousand sterile maggots from the academy’s laboratory. That should be sufficient."

Using live maggots to treat necrotic wounds was commonly used on Western battlefields in the early years, before antibiotics were invented.

The results were quite impressive.

The discovery of this treatnt thod was purely accidental.

In the past, during wars in Western countries, when soldiers were injured, there was a lack of dicine and dical care. Their wounds beca infected and purulent, starting to rot.

Due to tight battle lines and weak logistics, many soldiers did not receive tily treatnt and care. As a result, the foul sll of their rotting wounds attracted large swarms of flies. These flies fed on the necrotic flesh and pus, laying nurous eggs.

Due to the hot weather, a large number of maggots quickly hatched in the wounds.

After so ti, battlefield dics noticed a miraculous phenonon. Soldiers whose wounds were carefully attended to, without maggots, actually healed more slowly. In contrast, soldiers whose wounds harbored maggots healed much faster.

Upon observation, dics found that after the maggots consud all the necrotic flesh, they excreted so liquid.

This liquid seed to have a sterilizing and disinfecting effect, also promoting rapid wound healing.

Thus, the use of maggots to treat necrotic wounds gradually beca incorporated into dical practice.

Director Tan was stunned when Zhou Can ca seeking maggots, but then his eyes sparkled.

"You kid, you’re truly a genius! Even thought of this thod. For such special cases, using sterile maggots from the laboratory for treatnt might indeed work miracles. Okay, this isn’t difficult. I’ll make a call and have them send over a thousand maggots of Calliphora vomitoria larvae."

Director Tan readily agreed to this matter.

The two dical students, hearing of such a miraculous treatnt thod for the first ti, were greatly intrigued. Their impression of Zhou Can beca much deeper.

"Thanks! I won’t trouble you anymore!"

Zhou Can had trained in Internal dicine for over a year and was actually quite familiar with Director Tan.

Not exactly close, but at least on good terms.

"This kid, he just slips away like that after getting what he wants! What a pity, it would be great if he could join our Internal dicine departnt."

Director Tan looked at Zhou Can’s back, smiling and shaking his head reluctantly.

"Teacher, this Dr. Zhou seems really impressive! Which departnt is he from?" A student beside him couldn’t help but inquire about Zhou Can’s background.

"He’s a doctor in the Ergency Departnt. He’s also the most talented dical student I’ve ever seen, and his ethics are particularly reliable. You guys should take the opportunity to learn from him whenever possible."

Director Tan held Zhou Can in very high regard.

The two dical students nodded, saying no more.

This was the first ti they had seen a young doctor so highly praised by Director Tan. If they knew about Zhou Can’s legendary experiences, they would probably genuinely admire this senior brother too.

After Zhou Can returned to the Ergency Departnt, it wasn’t long before soone delivered the thousand maggots to him.

By this ti, he had already finished discussing the treatnt with the patient and their family.

To achieve satisfactory treatnt results and reduce the family’s interference during the process, Zhou Can suggested having only one family mber as a companion.

In the end, it was the patient’s wife who stayed to care for him.

Watching Zhou Can pour live maggots onto her husband’s wound, she looked extrely frightened. The patient himself also had to endure psychological and physical discomfort.

After all, these live maggots crawling around and gnawing on the wound were enough to make one’s flesh crawl.

It’s difficult for ordinary people to accept the sensation of maggots gnawing at their body, as they naturally fear maggots.

Imagine how a single caterpillar feels crawling on your skin?

Cold, disgusting, itchy.

One thousand maggots crawling over your body, constantly chewing, only those who’ve experienced it can truly understand that terror.

To prevent the patient or family from interfering with the treatnt, Zhou Can specifically instructed doctors and nurses managing the ward to keep a close watch. He definitely couldn’t stay there the entire ti.

There were still many patients waiting for him to perform surgery in the operating room.
