Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 426: Chapter 290 Unprecedented Blood Donation Chapter 426: Chapter 290 Unprecedented Blood Donation The crowd exclaimed in astonishment, all exchanging glances filled with uncertainty and skepticism.

Faced with a choice between risking their lives and saving Lady Changsheng, they didn’t know what to believe in the moment!

“Enough! It’s just blood! Who hasn’t shed blood before!” Hu Yihai suddenly yelled out, his face set in determined resolve, “Lady Changsheng, will it be by knife or by sword that you let the blood? If you need a basin to catch it, bring the basin over!”

Hu Yihai’s bold and loud declaration not only startled all the doctors present but also gave Gu Changsheng a shock.

If time hadn’t been of the essence, leaving no room for frivolous thoughts, she would have definitely yelled back: “Collecting blood in a basin? Do you think you’re a faucet, with an endless supply of blood or what?”

But she didn’t have the luxury of time to entertain such thoughts, as Tan Nv’s condition was critical, teetering on the brink of disaster, at any moment her internal bleeding could worsen!

She needed to match blood types and secure blood for the surgery as soon as possible!

In her lifetime spent dealing with patients, Gu Changsheng’s predictions about their conditions were based on her extensive accumulated experience, and she trusted her own judgment!

“I’ll go take the patient’s blood sample now if anyone is willing to donate blood, go over there to drink some saline and then line up to wait for me!” Gu Changsheng said, while starting to remove her outer clothes.

Dong Lei, who was waiting outside the tent, hurriedly helped his wife into her disinfected garments as she approached.

Collecting blood samples was a simple task, and seizing the opportunity, Gu Changsheng also performed an examination on Tan Nv.

With thirty-six silver needles inserted into her body, Tan Nv’s heart pulse was barely considered stable. Gu Changsheng looked at her tightly furrowed brows with concern.

The bleeding on Tan Nv’s chest hadn’t stopped, which was enough to prove her theory correct!

Indeed, an internal organ must have ruptured…

After collecting the blood sample, Gu Changsheng didn’t dare to delay even a moment, immediately exiting the tent to start collecting enough fresh blood for the surgery!

Everyone, led by Hu Yihai, after some contemplation, unanimously chose to trust Gu Changsheng.

This was something that Gu Changsheng had not expected.

Gu Changsheng swiftly rolled up Hu Yihai’s sleeve and produced a syringe from her hand.

Seeing the fine needle tip, Hu Yihai flinched in fright.

It’s natural for the body to instinctively reject anything sharp that might cause harm.

“Relax, it’ll only sting a little bit, like a mosquito bite!” Gu Changsheng said as she accurately found a vein and tried to comfort him.

No sooner had the words left her mouth, the needle was already in the flesh.

“Yikes!” Hu Yihai jumped in surprise, his instincts were to resist, but Gu Changsheng, quick and alert, restrained his arm and swiftly withdrew the syringe.

“All done!”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s voice, Hu Yihai cried out incredulously, “That’s it? I didn’t even feel the pain!”

“It’s just a blood sample. If your blood type matches the patient’s, I’ll take more, and then it won’t be just this little bit!” Gu Changsheng said as she dripped the blood from the syringe into the blood sample and serum separator for Tan Nv.

“Xiao Leizi, make sure to mark it!” Gu Changsheng instructed Dong Lei behind her, as she disinfected the syringe in strong alcohol, wiping it dry before starting another round of blood sample collection.

One by one, doctors and strong men stepped forward as Gu Changsheng busily focused on the task at hand.

Behind Dong Lei, more bowls were lined up, row after row, each meticulously numbered.

“Is this what blood donation is? Isn’t it said that losing blood can kill a person? How come I don’t feel anything?”

“Exactly, it just hurt for a second, less painful than a mosquito bite!”

“Could Lady Changsheng’s method actually work? Can our blood really save the patient’s life?”

“Didn’t Lady Changsheng say we need to match types? Only with a successful match can the blood be used!”

“I wonder if drawing too much will kill us…”

“Stop worrying needlessly! Isn’t Lady Changsheng here? She’s the Divine Doctor; she won’t just stand by and watch us die, will she?”

“That’s true…”

“…”

Those who had had their blood drawn chatted excitedly among themselves. They had given blood and were fine!

If what Lady Changsheng said was true, then there would no longer be people dying from excessive blood loss in the future!

It was truly… an inconceivable notion that they had never dared to imagine before!

“Wife, the blood from Hu Yihai and his son has merged!”

“Wife, Doctor Liu’s blood has also merged!”

“Wife, the Xu Family’s steward’s blood has also merged!”

As Dong Lei carefully observed the changes in the rows of blood samples before him, he promptly reported them.

“Dong Lei, this is no trifling matter. If you get this wrong, Tan Nv’s life is at stake! You must be certain that the bloods are fully compatible!” Gu Changsheng cautioned as she continued to collect blood samples and looked back.

“Rest assured, wife, I remember everything you taught me just now!” Dong Lei nodded firmly and looked to Yhan Ting for assistance.

Yhan Ting had been by her side all along and should help her keep an eye out, right?

Seeing this, Yhan Ting nodded in agreement!

“Those whose blood samples have merged, stand in line over there. Drink plenty of saline solution; we’re about to draw blood!” Gu Changsheng commanded sternly.

“Yes!” the doctors answered in unison.

There was no discomfort in drawing blood samples; now they were no longer so fearful!

For a new concept to be accepted by the masses, the first step is to help them overcome the fear of the unknown.

Now they were no longer afraid of the syringes in Lady Changsheng’s hands…

On the contrary, they felt that their actions today might be recorded in the annals of history, and might be renowned for ages to come!

Exchange of blood to save lives, to extend life with blood! If this were really to work, the entire medical community would probably tremble once more!

To be part of such a monumental feat!

With the threat to life removed, the thought alone made their hearts beat violently!

After collecting the blood samples, Gu Changsheng, still not reassured, checked for hemolysis again before starting the blood draw.

This time, it was more than just a syringe!

After the syringe, there was also a pouch made from sheepskin!

It was not that Gu Changsheng was worrying needlessly; these were all things she had developed at the foot of Baili Mountain, just in case they were needed one day.

Unexpectedly, her precaution had indeed come into use!

“No need to use a basin to catch it! Just this little pouch won’t be scary, don’t worry! Lady Changsheng, go ahead!” Hu Yihai, leading his son, was the first to step forward, declaring with great enthusiasm.

Hu Tiandong too was excited. Although he had his own little thoughts, his fervor for practicing medicine was genuinely serious.

To personally experience such a thing, for the young him, it was truly shocking!

“Relax!” Gu Changsheng, once again rolling up Hu Yihai’s sleeve, said warmly.

“Lady Changsheng, you can draw boldly; I am not afraid!” Hu Yihai closed his eyes, pretending not to see.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng did not hesitate any longer and accurately inserted the needle tip into the antecubital vein.

A strand of bright red quickly flowed through the tubing into the pouch…

A peculiar silence suddenly enveloped the surroundings; everyone’s eyes widened, unblinkingly watching the blood flowing within the tubing, feeling extremely anxious…

This was not just a little bit of blood as drawn by Lady Changsheng just now–it was a lot, flowing directly…

Wouldn’t it kill someone?

Seeing that the amount of blood drawn was about three hundred milliliters, Gu Changsheng swiftly stepped forward, pressed a cotton ball soaked in alcohol against the needle tip, and removed the syringe quickly.

“Chief Hu, it’s done; next one!”

“Done?” Hu Yihai opened his eyes incredulously and asked hesitantly, “That’s it?”

Gu Changsheng nodded and gave a nod, motioning with her mouth, “Yes, it’s done. Press on the needle site for a while to prevent further bleeding.”

“Godfather, I don’t feel anything wrong at all!” Hu Yihai exclaimed excitedly, about to stand up.

Gu Changsheng, unable to stop him in time, saw Hu Yihai sit back down and shake his head with furrowed brows.

At this, Gu Changsheng’s lips curved into a helpless smile, “I haven’t had the chance to remind you yet, avoid any vigorous movements just after having blood drawn; it can cause dizziness!”

Hu Yihai’s face turned pale upon hearing this.

“Eat some dates, have some chicken soup; if you have time, self-prescribe some blood-replenishing medicine. In two or three days, you’ll be as usual!” Gu Changsheng, not giving him the chance to ask, immediatel said, “Hu Tiandong, pull your father up; it’s your turn!”

“Yes!” Hu Tiandong, very excited at the order, pulled his father up and took the seat in front of Gu Changsheng, conscientiously rolling up his sleeve quite high.

“See that? Just a pouch of blood drawn and I’m just a bit dizzy, like I haven’t eaten for two days. Don’t be afraid; it really won’t kill you!” Hu Yihai said, while ostentatiously lifting his arm and persuading others.

“Truly no harm! Indeed, no harm! It seems what Lady Changsheng said was true!”

“Could there be any doubt? Lady Changsheng is a Divine Doctor after all!”

“We should prepare our sleeves ourselves to save Lady Changsheng’s time!”

“Right, right!”

“…”

They were part of this unprecedented blood donation effort–a fortune of three lifetimes!

Gu Changsheng, watching the people sitting down and leaving, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.

No matter the era, there are always those who hold an unyielding passion for their cause…

Only at this moment did Gu Changsheng suddenly feel that her decision to donate her pharmaceutical methods and prescriptions had value!

It was only after nearly enough blood for the surgery had been collected that Gu Changsheng stopped further drawing.

“You all wait here; I’ll come back to draw more blood after the surgery.”

“Lady Changsheng, rest assured, even if you tell us to leave, we won’t go!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“In that case, get ready. You can observe from outside the tent. Yhan Ting, Dong Lei, come in with me; we need to prepare for the surgery!” Gu Changsheng said, standing up with the still-warm pouch, “I’m going to perform a thoracic surgery!”

Upon hearing this, the gathered doctors all stood up with solemn expression, looking towards her with earnestness.

Gu Changsheng nodded firmly and turned to walk towards the tent.

As she was about to enter the tent, Gu Changsheng suddenly turned her head, glancing towards the familiar presence…
