Plague Doctor

"You go and start the fire right away, and you hold the patient down for me."

While talking to the woman and the three apprentices, Dr. George Lei put his medical box on a broken wooden chair and opened it. It contained some old surgical instruments, but it was not the kind of surgery that Zhou Haorui and the others were familiar with. Knives, etc., are more like something in the world of Jianghu.

The woman has hurriedly found a pot for sundries, put some firewood in it, lit it, and made the fire raging.

This place was originally a semi-underground street, the space was cramped, and there was no ventilation at all. Now that the fire is raging, the smoke is also rising, and it is suddenly even more unbearable.

The air was foul, cloudy, and hot, Zhou Haorui felt like he couldn't breathe, and his heart and lungs seemed to be on fire...

At the same time, Dr. George Ray took out a small knife from the medical box and held it in his hand, like a scalpel, but it seems that it is a butcher's meat cleaver. The blade of the knife was stained with blood and even a little rusted, but Dr. George Ray took out another iron and handed it to the woman.

"What are you doing? Hold him down, don't let him move." The doctor shouted, leaning over to the patient on the bed.

"This..." Zhou Haorui couldn't help but said, "Doctor, is it better to clean and disinfect the knife first?"

Although he didn't study medicine, this is common sense...

Just living in this era, is the Middle Ages.

"What are you talking about?" Dr. George Ray reprimanded. "Come on, the patient will be lost because of your hesitation." The doctor said, looking at the brazier, "Fix my iron."

The woman hurriedly did it again, holding the iron and roasting it on the brazier, which gradually turned red, and the two children stared at the door.

Zhou Haorui felt a chill in his heart, vaguely thinking of Dr. George Lei's plan...

"Quick!" The doctor shouted again, and then Lao Jiang and Yang Liuqingqing stepped forward and pressed the patient's upper body on the bed, trying to avoid the festering skin. Zhou Haorui had no choice but to press the man's feet.

Dr. George Ray moved quickly, his hands were calm, and his mind did not hesitate. He leaned over and took a knife to cut a piece of festering and pus-filled skin on the man's left shoulder. The beak mask covered the doctor's face, but it must be very cold.

"Ah..." The man suddenly cried out in pain, even though he was extremely weak, he still screamed terribly.

The man didn't have much strength to struggle, but Zhou Haorui's hands on the man's feet were shaking, and his heart was tightening.

Lao Jiang and Yang Liu Qingqing's eyes were also unbearable.

Zhou Haorui watched as a large piece of the patient's tattered skin was cut off. Dr. George Lei threw the piece of skin directly to the ground and shouted, "Iron!" The woman picked up the iron from the brazier and handed it over to George Lei - As soon as Dr. Lei took it, he pressed the red-hot iron to the wound on the patient's left shoulder, and there was a sizzling burning sound.

The man's scream of severe pain resounded through the room and spread out, making the noisy semi-underground alleyway silent.

The two children leaning against the door saw their father being treated like this, one was stunned, and the other burst into tears.

Zhou Haorui couldn't help but take a deep breath. Medieval medicine...

He suddenly understood why Dr. Birdbeak was hated and feared by the people at that time.

"Mom..." Yang Liuqingqing muttered speechlessly, "Dr. George Lei, this life is too difficult, more money, more money."

"If you want gold, you have to let the person who gave you the gold live." Dr. George Ray said, cauterizing the woman to let her continue to burn it, and cutting the festering wound on the man's right shoulder with a scalpel. Immediately it was a bloody mess again. Not long after, the iron iron fell again, and the screams broke out again.

Zhou Haorui went from cold sweat all over his head to cold sweat all over his body, his ears were buzzing, his whole body was numb and sore, and he was almost unable to stand...

The cruel and bizarre scene in front of him seemed to hang him, causing him to wonder if he was a good dragon...

Among the three, Jiang was the oldest, with the most stable pressure on his hands.

After Dr. George Ray had dealt with the ruptured and pus-filled skin, he proceeded to deal with the large unbroken abscesses on the patient's chest. There was no difference in the method. Without cleaning and dressing, the doctor once again raised the red-hot iron.

Fall to the wound, ze!

After the man on the bed screamed again, he fainted from the pain, and there was no sound.

"Doctor, doctor, my husband..." The woman asked nervously, "Is he still alive..."

Dr. George Ray probed the patient's breath, "I'm still alive. As for whether he can wake up or not, it depends on his own will."

The woman wailed and prayed to God again.

Dr. George Ray didn't say anything, and continued to cut and scald the other pustules and festering skin on the man to stop the bleeding.

This is not only a torment for the patient, the patient's wife and children, but also a torment for the three of Zhou Haorui. Old Jiang may be supported by his yearning for an ordinary life, Yang Liuqing may be relying on gold, and Zhou Haorui does not know What are you relying on...

Perhaps he had already lost all his strength, but he didn't notice it because the patient was no longer struggling.

When the patient's entire body was treated, Dr. George Ray wiped the scalpel on the rag and put it back in the medical box, followed by the iron.

"Your husband's surgery has been completed." The doctor said to the poor

The woman said, "If he can wake up and give him some water, I'll check back tomorrow."

After all, amid the woman's overwhelmed thanks and doubts, Dr. George Ray walked outside with a medical box and a cane, "Come on, there are other patients here."

The three of them followed the doctor to the alley outside the house, and the messy scolding broke out again, and someone shouted: "They just killed people again! They kill people, they only kill people, and then take the gold. Go, that's what a 'doctor' can only do, kill people and get rich!"

Dr. George Ray looked at the three apprentices and seemed to be able to see through their expressions under the beak masks.

"You have to start getting used to this kind of thing." The doctor said solemnly, "Because you will go through a lot of trials, and if you can't keep it up, you will die."

When Zhou Haorui heard these words, he was suddenly horrified...

Lao Jiang and Yang Liu Qingqing also looked at the face of this bird-billed doctor.

Zhou Haorui saw that the left eye was broken and the right eye was pitch black in the eye sockets that were not covered by the particularly strange beak mask.

It was so dark that they seemed to have seen it through the crow's eyes.

Love the plague doctor.
