Chapter 169: A New Wave Rises Before the Previous One Subsides shuhaige.net

Jun Zijin swept a glance over the crowd, who were eagerly waiting for her to begin her explanation, and with a faint smile, she said unhurriedly:

"All things in the world have their principles. Even if the heart has stopped, as long as the body's functions have not yet completely faded, it is indeed possible to revive it through special means of stimulation."

The crowd was stirred with excitement once more, and Jun Zijin gestured for everyone to be quiet:

"Do not be impatient, everyone. Next, I will provide a demonstration for you all."

Having said this, she pointed to a young man and had him come forward.

She first had the young man lie flat on the ground, with his head and torso on the same plane. Due to the special circumstances, she then placed a simple mannequin flat on the ground as well.

She began to explain to everyone in detail the principles and key operational points of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"If there is no pulse in the carotid artery, it indicates cardiac arrest, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be started immediately."

She pointed out the position for chest compressions on the young man, then knelt beside the mannequin, interlaced her hands, kept her arms straight, and pressed down vertically, rhythmically compressing the mannequin 30 times, followed by 2 breaths using a simple resuscitator.

"If there is no simple resuscitator, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is required. Chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation must be repeated continuously. If the patient has not recovered after two quarters of an hour, and the pupils are dilated and fixed, it indicates that cardiopulmonary resuscitation has failed."

While demonstrating the chest compressions, Jun Zijin explained what mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was.

Although some people could not accept the step of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at first, upon realizing that this action could save lives, they gradually felt relieved; after all, what could be more important than life?

The physicians in the audience all widened their eyes, watching every one of Jun Zijin's movements without blinking, their pens flying across the paper to record everything.

The expressions on their faces shifted from initial skepticism to shock and admiration.

A somewhat timid voice spoke up:

"Princess, what should we do if the patient suddenly vomits during the resuscitation process?"

Jun Zijin smiled slightly, her eyes showing approval:

"A good question. If vomiting occurs, the patient's head should be turned to one side immediately to prevent the vomit from blocking the airway. All of this requires us to constantly learn and accumulate experience through practice."

The entire demonstration lasted for several minutes. When Jun Zijin finished the final step, she stood up, looked at the crowd, and asked:

"Has everyone seen clearly?"

The crowd nodded one after another, their faces still carrying a hint of disbelief.

Their faces were filled with excitement and admiration, and their eyes flashed with a fiery light as they stared intently at Jun Zijin, who stood before them.

"Princess, this cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique is truly miraculous!"

Guo Yuanzheng had squeezed into the classroom at some point, and he said with a face full of wonder.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would never have believed that such a magical medical technique existed in this world."

"Indeed, Princess, you have opened a new door for our medical world!"

Other physicians echoed his sentiments.

Jun Zijin looked at everyone and smiled with satisfaction.

She knew that changing the deep-seated notions of these physicians would not happen overnight, but as long as they were willing to accept new knowledge and concepts, there was hope for the inheritance and development of the medical Dao.

"Everyone, the path of medicine is endless. Only by constantly learning and exploring can we handle various difficult and complicated cases with ease and save more lives."

As soon as Jun Zijin finished speaking, Guo Yuanzheng took the lead in applauding:

"The Princess is absolutely right, absolutely right!"

Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.

An hour passed quickly, and everyone was still eager for more, reluctant to leave.

Jun Zijin raised her hand to signal for silence, and smiled slightly:

"Rest assured, everyone. As long as you are willing to learn, there will be many more such training opportunities in the future."

Upon receiving Jun Zijin's promise, another round of thunderous applause echoed through the sky in the classroom.

At this moment, differences in status and rank no longer mattered; everyone was immersed in the pursuit and exploration of medical arts.

The hour of waiting passed quietly as the imperial physicians looked forward to it with bated breath.

By now, the last rays of sunset had faded from the horizon, yet not a single person outside the door had any intention of leaving; everyone waited patiently.

When the first class ended and the students walked out of the classroom one after another, the imperial physicians and the people outside the door rushed into the classroom impatiently.

Outside the windows, it was already pitch black, but inside the classroom, the candles were bright and the atmosphere was intense.

Jun Zijin stood on the podium, her voice clear and powerful, piercing the silence of the night and echoing in every corner of the classroom.

The imperial physicians listened with rapt attention, fearing they might miss a single detail.

————————

When Jun Zijin dragged her exhausted body back to the residence, the night was already deep.

Jun Yiyi had been sent away, and the second branch's Lady Li and her son were recuperating at the Jun residence recently, so the Jun household was finally quiet.

That night, Jun Zijin slept exceptionally soundly. It was as if all her fatigue had been released in that one night.

She had no dreams throughout the night. The next day, as the morning light first appeared, she rose early, her heart filled with anticipation and longing for the day ahead.

When she arrived at the hospital, the doctors recruited yesterday were already sitting in the consultation rooms, ready to meet the day's challenges.

The area outside the consultation rooms was packed with patients, bustling with activity, with many poor commoners having come by reputation.

The nurses moved busily through the crowd, patiently explaining the consultation procedures to the patients and guiding them to seek medical attention in an orderly manner.

Although the scene was clamorous, everything was orderly under their efforts, without the slightest chaos.

Jun Zijin watched this scene, her heart filled with satisfaction. These medical staff had only received less than half a day of training, yet they were already able to adapt to their posts quickly.

She hoped this hospital could become a place the common people could trust, where they could receive timely and effective treatment regardless of whether they were rich or poor.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and was just about to go around to the various consultation rooms when He Linger arrived.

"Morning, Zijin!"

He Linger greeted Jun Zijin with a smile.

"Morning, Linger. It looks like another busy day today."

The two looked at each other and smiled; there was no need for more words, as that tacit understanding and friendship were conveyed in each other's eyes. They fought side by side, throwing themselves into the tense and orderly work together.

The work in the hospital proceeded in a tense and orderly fashion.

But just as everyone was busy to the point of being overwhelmed, a Yamen Runner from the Jingzhao Prefecture rushed over, his expression respectful yet carrying a hint of seriousness:

"Princess, the Mayor of Jingzhao invites you; there is an urgent matter to discuss."

Jun Zijin's heart tightened. She had no dealings with the Jingzhao Prefecture, and she vaguely felt that the matter was not simple, so she asked:

"Has something happened?"

The Yamen Runner looked around to ensure no one was paying attention, then leaned in closer, lowered his voice, and said:

"Someone has brought three corpses to the Jingzhao Prefecture, claiming they were poisoned to death after taking medicine from your Tong'an Hall."
