Yun Jiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Princess Consort, don’t worry. I’ll put so eye drops in for you, and you can rest for half an hour and then open your eyes."
The old lady’s face was filled with uncontrollable excitent and joy, nodding like a good child, "Okay, okay, I’ll just wait for half an hour more."
Yun Jiao applied the eye drops, and several Imperial Physicians gathered around. The young man from earlier gave Yun Jiao a thumbs up, "Doctor Gu truly has miraculous skills."
"The eyes are such an important area; a slight mistake could cause problems. Doctor Gu’s hands are steady, truly remarkable!"
The Imperial Physicians also nodded.
One doctor hesitated for a long ti and suddenly said, "Doctor Gu, we also want to learn this surgery from you, I wonder if—" He felt embarrassed to continue.
He knew that saying this was akin to asking for soone else’s secret recipe, but he was eager to learn such miraculous dical skills.
Yun Jiao pondered for a mont and then slowly nodded, "You may."
The doctors exchanged looks, seeing the question mark in each other’s eyes; did she just say yes?
Yun Jiao continued, "Let’s do this, I’ll first draw an anatomical diagram of the eye for you all, telling you the specific thods and needle insertion points, and the things to be careful about during the operation."
"Afterward, when I have similar surgeries, you can observe several tis, and once you’ve practiced enough on animals, you’ll be ready to operate on people."
A man asked, "Doctor Gu, you’re just, just casually teaching us such an amazing dical skill?"
Yun Jiao tilted her head, "Don’t you want to learn?"
"This is a good thing. If everyone learns, surely there will be fewer blind people in the world because of it."
This surgical thod was originally recorded in a book by a Tang Dynasty individual. Yun Jiao had read so many dical books that if everyone kept their recipes and skills secret, dicine would quickly lose its heritage.
The Great Chu Dynasty’s dicine is more backward than the era she once lived in. In this lifeti, she is willing to contribute what she can to the developnt of dicine in Great Chu.
Lately, she has been reading and recalling dical skills she previously reviewed, preparing to organize the dical books that Great Chu lacks and make them available for more doctors to learn from.
The Imperial Physicians beca excited and raised their thumbs in unison, "Doctor Gu not only has superb dical skills but also noble character, remarkable."
Yun Jiao felt a bit embarrassed; she had never considered herself a good person. Oftentis, her thoughts were not always so bright, but since she chose this profession, she feels this is her mission.
Yun Jiao, who had to wait for the old lady to rest for half an hour anyway, instructed the maid to bring over pen and ink and began drawing the anatomical diagram of the eye on the nearby table.
This wasn’t very complicated, and she spent a little ti before completing it.
Yun Jiao explained one by one the functions of parts like the cornea, iris, sclera, lens, and so on.
Then she detailed the surgical procedures, writing them all out and including the preparation thod for the disinfectant.
The Imperial Physicians held this paper as if it were a treasure, gazing at it, and those who didn’t understand asked Yun Jiao, to which she patiently responded.
The old lady lying on the couch listened to Yun Jiao and them talk about this, and her heart held admiration and fondness for this young lass, Yun Jiao.
Having lived to such an old age, she firmly believed in one principle: all things have cause and effect, and everything has cause and effect.
