Chapter 366 Perfect Treatment
Chapter 366 Perfect Treatment
Lothur fixed the problem of all the bones and muscles in the legs and in one of the arms of that old man, always using his visual ability to understand what his patient needed.
The ability of his Skull Soul Bone was extremely useful in medicine. It was as if he instantly had every possible check-up that could be done on a body.
He could see the internal organs, the skeleton, and the blood circulating in the bloodstream and use his cultivator senses to measure heart rate, temperature, etc.
By combining his visual ability with the cultivator's senses, Lothur could, in real-time, determine the situation of that body.
And with that, he could combine that patient's unique information with his knowledge to use the best possible approach.
Ordinary doctors did not have such advantages, so most had to rely on their probing, which was not as 'sharp' on weaker and less experienced youngsters.
Because of this, Lothur solved several of that man's problems more easily and efficiently than Sofie, who did not have the same 'weapons' as him to play this game. So, naturally, she had more difficulties, despite her superior experience.
She noticed this and felt impressed with Lothur, considering how little time he had taken to learn this trade. Even more, he still put in some of his time to master other areas!
'This fellow...'
But just as Lothur was about to start solving the internal problems in that old man's organism, he stopped and looked at her. "That problem in his internal organs, I need your help."
"Uh?" She exclaimed in surprise, not expecting him to say something like that. "What's the matter? You were doing fine."
Lothur was sincere. "Fixing the bones and muscle tissue in his legs and arm was easy. But his situation in the abdominal region doesn't look promising..."
Sofie could not see the organs of that old man like Lothur, but she knew that the situation of that individual's stomach and liver was not good.
Part of those organs was practically crushed, so the work on that part would be much more complicated than what Lothur and her had already done.
She then sat down on the other side of that body, standing in front of Lothur so that she could proceed with the treatment along with him.
'This is my chance to teach something!' A slight arc formed in her eyes as she cleaned the abdomen area.
She could not see, so she would need to cut into that man's belly to understand the situation better and solve the problem.
People in the surrounding area saw this and started to feel pessimistic, as it was never good to open a body.
In this world, that was a bad sign of people who would die in a short time!
Lothur understood what Sofie intended, but he did not think it was a bad idea. He could see everything inside such a person, but only by touching or acting directly in that area could they have a satisfactory result.
Since he already knew that in this world, doctors could easily control the surgical 'environment,' he did not bother trying to stop Sofie because of the people there.
He just watched as Sofie cut into that man's belly and used some tools to stretch the skin around the cut.
"What do we do now?" She asked him.
"We remove the blood and analyze the integrity of the organ." He replied.
Sofie proceeded to do what Lothur had said until she saw the state of that old fellow's stomach, who, by the way, was still awake.
The pills she had given him were quite potent against pain. So since the pain of having his abdomen cut open was much less than that of having his bones 'modeled' by a doctor, that old fellow was easily coping with the situation.
"The good news is we can treat his stomach by cutting this part out and joining these two..." Then, she showed something that Lothur had noticed earlier.
"The bad news is that his liver is almost entirely lost." Lothur heard this as that organ finally became visible for them to examine more closely.
He saw her touching such a thing as if she were groping a breast without squeezing, using only her sensory abilities to feel that thing.
"Are we going to need a transplant?" He asked as some people in the surrounding area started to leave the area, not very interested in the idea of the transplant...
"Not yet," Sofie said as she thought of an alternative. "Let's try to remove that destroyed part and leave the rest. Maybe his body can regenerate with some Mitotic Division Acceleration Pills."
"Oh? You want to use the patient's regeneration?" He remembered that he had read it somewhere.
"Yes, staying with liver damage for a few hours won't put his life at risk, and we'll have a chance to fix the problem without having to do a transplant." She explained. "The medicines might kick in in the meantime and save everyone from a major headache."
Lothur agreed with her opinion, learning the importance of medical practice.
He knew the theory but was not used to the practice. So even though he had advantages like his visual ability, he did not know what the best approach to take was.
In the previous situation, it had been easier because he had seen what Sofie could not and therefore did exemplary treatment by taking control of the situation.
But in this situation, it was different. It was not so simple to solve the problem of a vital organ, which was not enough for him to see the problem. He could even use this information to define a starting point, the treatment options. But without the experience, it could be difficult for him to make the best decision for the patient.
So, despite her previous mistake, Sofie quickly turned the situation around and showed Lothur practical things, teaching him things that went beyond books.
That old man spent the whole time apprehensive, in many moments terrified to hear Lothur and Sofie talking so coldly about his situation.
Luckily he was feeling no pain, and the people in the surrounding area had diminished to the point that he no longer heard comments about his imminent death.
After more than an hour since Lothur's arrival at that location, that old man was bandaged by Sofie and given the last medicines for that treatment.
"We will come back tomorrow and assess your situation." She expressed before saying goodbye, quickly heading alongside Lothur to the next house she would visit.
"I have someone else to see today. Do you have time for one more lesson, or will you stop here?"
He nodded and said. "Yes, I'm curious to see more of you in action, hehe."
"Don't say that. I've hardly shown you anything new..." She said shyly.
"That's not true. Without you to guide me in a situation like that, I probably would have made a mistake."
The two talked until they reached another humble house in that area of Peters City.
So, after some more time, Lothur finished his second medical experiment and soon returned home.
