Chapter 169: One Wave Subsides, Another Arises

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin swept her gaze over the crowd eagerly awaiting her explanation, smiled faintly, and spoke at a leisurely pace:

"All things in the world have their principles. Although the heart has stopped, as long as bodily functions have not completely vanished, stimulation through special means does indeed offer a possibility of revival."

The crowd grew excited once more, and Seeing Jun Jun Zijin signaled for everyone to be quiet:

"Everyone, do not rush. Next, I will demonstrate for you."

With that, she pointed to a young man and called him 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 dummy flat on the ground as well.

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

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

She indicated the compression point for cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the young man's body, then knelt beside the dummy, interlaced her hands, straightened her arms, pressed vertically downward with rhythm thirty times on the dummy, and performed two breaths with the simple resuscitator.

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

While demonstrating chest compressions, Seeing Jun Jun Zijin explained what artificial respiration was.

Although some could not accept the step of artificial respiration at first, thinking that this act could save lives, they gradually felt relieved in their hearts; after all, what could be more important than life?

The doctors below the platform all widened their eyes, watching every movement of Seeing Jun Jun Zijin without blinking, their pens flying across the paper as they recorded rapidly.

On their faces, the initial doubt gradually turned to shock and admiration.

A somewhat timid voice sounded:

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

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin smiled faintly, her eyes showing approval:

"Well asked. If vomiting occurs, immediately turn the patient's head to one side to prevent vomit from blocking the airway. All of this requires us to keep learning and accumulating experience through practice."

The entire demonstration process lasted several minutes. When Seeing Jun Jun Zijin completed the final step, she stood up, looked at the crowd below, and asked:

"Has everyone seen clearly?"

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

Excitement and admiration overflowed on their faces, and a hot light flickered in their eyes as they stared tightly at Seeing Jun Jun Zijin standing before the crowd.

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

Guo Guo Yuanzheng, not knowing when he had squeezed into the classroom, said with a face full of admiration.

"If I had not seen it with my own eyes today, I would never have believed that such miraculous medical arts exist in this world."

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

The other doctors also chimed in one after another.

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin looked at everyone and smiled gratifiedly.

She knew that changing the ingrained concepts of these doctors was not a matter of a single day or night, but as long as they were willing to accept new knowledge and ideas, 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 miscellaneous diseases with ease and save more lives."

As soon as Seeing Jun Jun Zijin finished speaking, Guo Guo Yuanzheng led the applause:

"What the Princess says is absolutely right, absolutely right!"

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.

An hour passed quickly; everyone was still reluctant to leave, unwilling to part.

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin raised her hand, signaled for everyone to quiet down, and smiled faintly:

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

Having received Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's promise, thunderous applause once again resounded through the sky in the classroom.

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

An hour of waiting time slipped away quietly amidst the eager anticipation of the Imperial Physicians.

At this time, the last streak of sunset glow in the sky had faded; not a single person in the crowd outside the door intended to leave, as everyone waited patiently.

When the first class ended and the trainees filed out of the classroom one after another, the Imperial Physicians and those outside the door rushed into the classroom eagerly.

Outside the window, it was pitch black, yet inside the classroom, candlelight shone brightly, creating a thick atmosphere.

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

The Imperial Physicians listened with rapt attention, afraid to miss any single detail.

————————

When Seeing Jun Jun Zijin dragged her exhausted body back to the manor, it was already deep into the night.

Jun Jun Yiyi had been sent away, and the mother and son of the Second House, Li Shi, had been recovering from their injuries in the Jun Manor recently; the Jun Manor was finally quiet.

That night, Seeing Jun Jun Zijin slept particularly soundly, as if all her fatigue had been released in a single night.

A dreamless night passed; the next day, when the first light of dawn appeared, she rose early, her heart filled with expectation and longing for the day ahead.

When she arrived at the hospital, the doctors recruited yesterday were already seated in the examination rooms, ready to welcome the challenges of the day.

The outside of the examination rooms was packed with patients, bustling with activity; many poor commoners had come by reputation.

The busy figures of the nurses shuttled through the crowd; they patiently explained the consultation procedures to the patients and guided them to seek medical care in an orderly manner.

Although the scene was noisy and crowded, thanks to their efforts, everything was in perfect order without the slightest chaos.

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

She hoped this hospital could become a place trusted by the common people, where everyone, regardless of wealth or poverty, could receive timely and effective treatment.

She lifted the corners of her mouth slightly, just about to visit the various examination rooms, when He Ling'er also arrived.

"Good morning, Jun Zijin!"

He Ling'er greeted Seeing Jun Jun Zijin with a smile.

"Good morning, Ling'er; today looks like another busy day."

The two exchanged smiles; no words were needed, as that understanding and friendship passed between them through their eyes. They fought side by side, throwing themselves together into the tense yet orderly work.

Work in the hospital proceeded with tension and order.

Yet just as everyone was busy beyond measure, a Yamen Runner from the Jingzhao Prefecture rushed over, his respectful demeanor tinged with a degree of solemnity:

"My Lady, my lord the Prefect of Jingzhao requests your presence; there is a matter of great importance to discuss."

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin felt a tightening in her heart; she had no dealings with the Jingzhao Prefecture, and she vaguely sensed the matter was not simple, so she asked:

"Has something happened?"

The Yamen Runner glanced around to ensure no one was watching, then leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said:

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