Eldest Lady Han was also sowhat panicked. Recalling what Young Lady Zhou had said, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Imperial Doctor Tan, if we perform an abdominal surgery before the childbirth, could we save both the mother and the child?"
Imperial Doctor Tan furrowed his brows slightly. "You an to take the child out and then sew the abdon back together?"
Eldest Lady Han nodded.
Imperial Doctor Tan pondered for a long ti before shaking his head and saying, "That would not be easy. Although we can use anesthesia powder, there’s a great risk involved because Han Wuniang has a child in her belly. Using anesthesia powder in such a situation is very dangerous. Moreover, the survival rate for soone undergoing abdominal surgery is not high."
"Didn’t Su Jian survive?" Li Sanlang imdiately interjected. "Since he could survive, naturally Wuniang can too."
Imperial Doctor Tan hesitated for a mont and replied, "It’s not quite the sa. And as far as I know, no one in the entire capital has ever perford such a case successfully."
Abdominal extractions were always perford after the pregnant woman had already passed away. In such cases, it was easier for both the living and the deceased to accept.
Currently, not just in the capital but in the entire history of dicine, there has never been a case where a child was extracted while the mother was still alive, let alone ensuring survival after the procedure.
Eldest Lady Han said, "Young Lady Zhou said she is willing to give it a try."
Minister Han turned to look at her upon hearing this.
Eldest Lady Han gritted her teeth and conveyed what Zhou Man had told them yesterday. She said, "After examining Wuniang, she said Wuniang wouldn’t be able to give birth naturally and offered these two thods as possible solutions."
Minister Han, however, seed intrigued by the second thod and looked toward Imperial Doctor Tan. "If there were dication that could alleviate the pain..."
Imperial Doctor Tan shook his head slightly. "Using untested dications, especially anesthesia... it’s far too dangerous. I, too, believe that if you were to choose the second thod, you might as well choose the first."
He added, "To be honest, when it cos to abdominal surgery, she’s the most skilled in the whole capital. It’s a pity Imperial Doctor Fan isn’t in the capital right now. If the two of them worked together, the success rate would undoubtedly be higher."
Minister Han asked, "Is she the so-called Divine Doctor Zhou Junior who treated Her Majesty the Empress?"
Eldest Lady Han nodded. "Yes, that’s her."
Minister Han fell into deep thought.
Imperial Doctor Tan rose to his feet and said, "This might be a slim chance, but don’t get your hopes up too much. After all, this would be her first attempt."
Minister Han personally escorted Imperial Doctor Tan out. On the way, he couldn’t help but confirm once more, "Is there truly no way to save Wuniang?"
Imperial Doctor Tan shook his head and, in a low voice, said, "The child is too large. Look at her; compared to before, she isn’t the slightest bit fatter, yet her belly is so big. All the nourishnt she’s taken in has gone to the child. Moreover, the fetal position is abnormal. Old Han, with the relationship we share, if there were even the slimst chance, I wouldn’t say this to you."
"And Zhou Man..."
Imperial Doctor Tan spoke softly, "Don’t underestimate that young girl. She’s extraordinarily talented in dicine. To be honest, I’ve t many people in my lifeti, but soone like her—who can understand dical texts after reading them once and even draw inferences from what she learns—is the first, and perhaps the only one."
"People in the Imperial Hospital think she’s only skilled in acupuncture and takes advantage of her status as a woman. But those who have worked with her know that her expertise is extensive. Whatever her thods may be, as long as she can heal people, they are good thods."
Imperial Doctor Tan continued, "Just to give a few examples—Her Majesty the Empress’s respiratory illness and Yin Huo’s frail health. I’ve seen both cases myself, and the skill she demonstrated in prescribing treatnts is no lesser than mine."
Minister Han said, "You give her too much credit."
Imperial Doctor Tan was renowned in the capital for his dical skills, which were the result of a lifeti of experience. Minister Han found it hard to believe that soone as young as Zhou Man could compare to Imperial Doctor Tan in issuing prescriptions.
Imperial Doctor Tan simply laughed. "That girl has a touch of brilliance and works with grounded determination. In this respect, she surpasses . Thus, it’s not an overstatent."
Minister Han took note of his words. After sending Imperial Doctor Tan off, he returned to speak with Li Sanlang.
The Han and Li families, though reluctant, had no choice but to place their sole hope in Zhou Man after hearing from both Nanny Han and Imperial Doctor Tan.
Minister Han asked Eldest Lady Han, "When Divine Doctor Zhou Junior ca to examine the patient yesterday, did you treat her with respect?"
Eldest Lady Han said, "Father, rest assured, we treated her with the utmost courtesy. She is not like the average doctor, after all. As a descendant of a ritorious family, we certainly wouldn’t be rude to her."
Minister Han nodded. "Good. Tomorrow, go and invite her here. We’ll have a good discussion with her. And don’t let Wuniang know about this for now."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Eldest Lady Han glanced at the hourglass and said, "Father, Zhou Man ntioned yesterday that she would co today to help correct the fetal position. She usually begins seeing patients after lunchti."
Minister Li said, "In that case, have lunch here and wait for her."
Minister Han nodded. "Very well."
anwhile, Manbao was at Jishi Hall writing a treatnt plan for Han Wuniang.
After returning yesterday, she had taken out the case details to discuss with Teacher Mo, who found this case particularly intriguing.
He found it even more interesting than Xiang Ming’s case.
This was because, in the future, self-conception was rare. Even when it happened, cases of difficult births were practically non-existent.
With a case like Han Wuniang’s, Teacher Mo was eager to witness the situation in person. He seed particularly fascinated by childbirth.
After reviewing Han Wuniang’s data, Teacher Mo didn’t even have to think before saying, "At the level of dical advancent in your ti, she’s undoubtedly going to die."
Manbao asked, "So how do I save her?"
"The only way is a cesarean section. With such a physical condition, if this were our ti, dostic service robots would have alerted her to avoid self-conception. Even if pregnancy occurred, the hospital would have transferred the embryo. What a pity."
Manbao brought the discussion back on track. "But I’m worried that anesthesia powder will affect the child. Plus, I’ve never perford a cesarean section, and I don’t have any anti-inflammatory dications. There are so many issues."
And so, the teacher-student pair discussed the case from afternoon until late at night. During this ti, Manbao revised and solidified her knowledge of exercises and massage techniques for adjusting fetal position.
These were skills she’d been learning but rarely had the opportunity to use. Now that she needed them, she reviewed them thoroughly.
Additionally, Manbao splurged and bought two more female humanoid models, intending to practice on them later.
This brought her collection to three male humanoid models and three female ones.
Manbao relished the feeling of spending her abundant points freely, finding it incredibly satisfying.
As for anesthesia, Teacher Mo couldn’t provide an imdiate solution but promised to think of sothing.
In truth, Manbao preferred to directly purchase their advanced anesthetics. She had seen Teacher Mo use them in the simulation classroom; they were incredibly convenient. He wore a wristband, and with a slight press, it could intelligently administer the anesthesia based on the patient’s condition.
However, that item wasn’t available in the marketplace, nor was it categorized as instructional material, so Manbao couldn’t buy it.
She sighed as she continued drafting her treatnt plan. Just as she hadn’t finished, Shao lifted the curtain and entered with Shi Dalang and Liuniang. "Doctor Zhou Junior, Shi Dalang says he has sothing to discuss with you."
