Chapter 739 My Lifelong Wish
Huang Tiandong stared wide-eyed in surprise at Lu Yangyang, almost thinking he had misheard.
Some stammered, "Are you... are you asking me?"
Lu Yangyang nodded, "Although I saw you that day in a hurry, you treated your wounds quite well. If you want to learn, you can come along too."
"I want to!" Huang Tiandong replied without hesitation.
Doctor Huang and Huang Sumu watched him with great joy.
Time was of the essence, so Lu Yangyang didn't say anything more. She quickly ate something and then called everyone to come inside. She picked out some of the most commonly used methods for treating external injuries that doctors were not very familiar with these days and explained them to them.
Lu Yangyang herself had been a barefoot doctor, so she knew best what symptoms they mainly treated. She not only taught them how to suture and remove stitches, when stitches and removal were necessary, and how to treat inflammation, but also explained some simple acupuncture methods and commonly used and inexpensive prescriptions.
Time flies when talking about things you know best. Seeing that they were all interested in penicillin, Lu Yangyang told them, "Penicillin is useful for inflammation, but you need to be very careful when using it. I can't demonstrate how to make penicillin for you right now, but if you want to know more, you can go to Yangguan City in the Northwest and find Doctor Fang. He is my senior apprentice and he will teach you."
Lu Yangyang could write down all the methods, but she couldn't guarantee whether she would succeed in making them. In addition, penicillin is not a panacea, and its use must be done with extreme caution. So it's not that she's stingy with the method, but that she must use it rigorously.
Back when she was in Yangguan City, she fought against smallpox with her Uncle Fang and developed a cowpox vaccine. She knew Uncle Fang's character well. When she went to Yangguan City this time, she taught Uncle Fang how to make penicillin so that it could benefit more people in the future.
As dawn was approaching, despite their reluctance and numerous questions, they could not delay any longer. So they all bowed and thanked Lu Yangyang.
Everyone remained silent, but the meaning was clear.
Hongyu arranged for someone to see them off, leaving only the girls and Doctor Huang and his son in the room.
Huang Tiandong was still excited. He really had no talent for medicine. After studying for many years, he could only barely recognize herbs. He could never learn pulse diagnosis. Knowing that his talent was limited, he stopped forcing himself and only occasionally helped his father. He never expected that one day he would be able to help.
Lu Yangyang was about to depart, so she needed to make things clear to Huang Sumu: "I've studied surgery for over ten years and have only just begun to understand it. I'm far from being as good as my teachers, and there's still so much I need to learn. The same goes for you. So I hope you can come with me. We probably won't stay in the Northwest; we'll go to many places. Have you thought it through?"
The reason she had the idea of taking on a disciple was because she saw Huang Sumu's talent. It was already difficult to even get started with what her aunt had taught her. Without a firm mind, one would certainly not be able to learn it. Therefore, taking on a disciple also depended on fate.
However, she is destined to travel around in the future, and if Huang Sumu wants to master the skill, he must also become proficient in using the knife, just like her.
Huang Sumu didn't hesitate for a second. "When I went back, I discussed it with my father. I will follow my master and strive to graduate as soon as possible and practice medicine like my master. This is not only what others expect of me, but also my lifelong wish."
