At this mont, a sowhat young man stood up and saluted, "Are you Doctor Gu?"
Gu Yunjiao nodded.
The man said sowhat awkwardly, "We are from the Imperial Hospital. Yesterday we heard that Doctor Gu is going to perform surgery on the Princess Consort today. We have never heard of this thod of treatnt before, so we ca here specifically to ask Doctor Gu if we could observe the procedure?"
Gu Yunjiao thought for a mont, "If the Princess Consort agrees, I have no objections."
The man quickly said, "The Princess Consort said that if it helps us, she is willing to assist. She is old anyway and does not mind being watched, as long as it does not affect her surgery."
Gu Yunjiao was sowhat amazed. In her impression, it’s rare for nobles to be so open-minded and considerate of others.
Moreover, it was the highly esteed Princess Consort.
This was a very wise and gracious elderly lady.
The surgery room chosen by the Prince Manor was an open pavilion above the water.
During sumr, it was cool here, and the pavilion has good lighting.
However, with Gu Yunjiao’s instructions, both the doors and windows are now closed.
Gu Yunjiao also required those who entered to first be exposed to vinegar steam in a room nearby.
As soon as these people opened the door, they were almost overwheld by the acidic sll, thinking that Gu Yunjiao was teasing them. But seeing her enter the room herself, they said nothing.
After the vinegar fumigation was completed, everyone had a strong sour sll in their noses, and Gu Yunjiao then took out a small bamboo tube, spraying them once.
It contained disinfectant solution she made herself. Before, without the resources, it was impossible, but now with resources, it had to be done.
After all, with the hot weather, the chances of infection greatly increased.
Once preparations were complete, they entered the room.
The servants of the Prince Manor dared not be negligent; after disinfection, they carried basin after basin of ice blocks into the room, there were over a dozen basins of ice stacked like small mountains, and the room soon beca much cooler.
Gu Yunjiao then observed the direction of incoming light and opened a few windows.
Then she disinfected the couch the elderly lady was going to lie on.
After morning passed, an escort couch brought the elderly lady outside the pavilion.
Gu Yunjiao sprayed the elderly lady and her close maid with disinfectant solution, then helped the elderly into the room.
Holding the elderly lady to lie on the couch, Gu Yunjiao handed two of her handkerchiefs to the maid and instructed, "Later, do nothing else but watch , if sweat appears on my face, wipe it off imdiately."
"Make sure that sweat doesn’t drip into the lady’s eyes."
The maid nodded repeatedly.
Gu Yunjiao then addressed the few Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital, "I ask the gentlen to co one by one to observe."
"Firstly, too many people would block the light, secondly, the weather is hot, and crowding would make it even hotter."
The Imperial Physicians all agreed.
Gu Yunjiao then began disinfecting her hands, then disinfected around the old lady’s eyes.
The surgical tools had been boiled and disinfected, wrapped snugly like modern day surgical equipnt packs.
Gu Yunjiao opened the disinfected pack and took out the instrunts, then began the surgery.
The Imperial Physicians took turns watching, one of them was startled seeing Gu Yunjiao insert the Golden Needle into the eyeball.
The surgery did not take long, and Gu Yunjiao softly said, "It’s done." She put the surgical tools down, and the elderly lady who had been restraining her excitent couldn’t help but shout, "I can see it, I can see it, oh, the little maid is really pretty."
