Yun Jiao opened the dicine chest and rolled up her sleeves high, then had the maid help tie them tightly.
Once the sleeves were secured, Yun Jiao took out the disinfectant solution, soaked a sterilized cotton ball in it, and carefully disinfected her hands.
Imperial Physician Han watched as Yun Jiao ticulously wiped her hands several tis and couldn’t help but ask, "Doctor Gu, what is the aning of this?"
Yun Jiao simply replied, "Because there are all kinds of invisible germs on people’s bodies, this solution can eliminate so of the germs, thus reducing the patient’s chance of infection."
Han Imperial Physician heard a new term, germs.
He knew what illness was, but had never heard of germs.
Yun Jiao had no ti to explain at this mont and proceeded to disinfect the area around the peasant woman’s eyes with the solution.
With all preparations complete, she donned a mask and opened the sterilization pack.
The sterilization pack contained her already disinfected surgical instrunts.
The peasant woman lying on the bed felt uneasy and couldn’t help but ask, "Is it ti for that surgery?"
Yun Jiao responded with a "Hmm."
The peasant woman continued, "Won’t it hurt when the needle goes into the eye?"
Yun Jiao softly said, "Don’t worry, there will be a sensation, but it won’t be very painful."
Performing this surgery didn’t an actually piercing the eye with the needle. The needle entry would be very shallow, only reaching the outer mbrane covering the eyeball, which practically wouldn’t cause any pain.
The few people who ca to observe gathered around at this mont.
Yun Jiao signaled them to stand at the foot of the peasant woman’s bed so as not to block her light.
She picked up a small clip herself and instructed the peasant woman, "Open your eyes."
The nervous peasant woman opened her eyes, and Yun Jiao fixed her eyelids with the clip to make the surgery easier.
Next, Yun Jiao observed carefully, confirming the location for needle insertion.
She picked up the newly forged steel needle and cautiously pierced it into the eyeball from a certain angle.
The spot for the needle insertion was extrely critical, determined through repeated practice by predecessors and further studied by successors, as it had very few blood vessels, and any bleeding would be minimal.
After the needle went in, the peasant woman let out a hum.
Yun Jiao asked, "Does it hurt?"
The peasant woman replied, "It doesn’t hurt, just feels like there’s sothing there."
Yun Jiao sternly said, "Next, you must not move, so the surgery can be completed smoothly."
The terrified peasant woman said, "I won’t move."
The needle in Yun Jiao’s hand slowly advanced, finally reaching the position she wanted, and she carefully lifted the layer of white haze over the pupil.
The ancient dical books recorded that for the Golden Needle Barrier Technique, one simply needed to remove this white haze at this mont.
The trouble was that the white haze could possibly roll back up.
However, Yun Jiao’s granduncle had further improved the Golden Needle Barrier Technique.
Yun Jiao then took an instrunt to encase the white haze.
She cautiously pulled out the Golden Needle, then used a small tweezer to grasp the white haze that had been extracted and cut it off with a small pair of scissors.
The white haze lifted out was thrown into the pre-prepared white porcelain dish.
The peasant woman lying there was overwheld with excitent, yet too stiff with tension to move.
She could see now!
Just then, Yun Jiao asked, "Can you see?"
The peasant woman replied, "I can see!"
The few people watching from the foot of the bed couldn’t actually see any details.
They just felt that it was so quick!
How long had the surgery taken, and now she could see?
Jiang Youzhi gazed steadily at Yun Jiao, feeling an imnse swelling in his heart.
She was such an excellent and outstanding woman, and he felt proud of her.
