Transmigrating with a Five Million Dollar Retirement Life

Chapter 91 Artificial Respiration

Time ticked by, but the child still didn't react, and a commotion arose again from the crowd.

"My son, where is my son?" A young woman dressed in fine clothes with disheveled hair rushed in, followed closely by a man with a serious and anxious expression.

"It's the county magistrate!" People in the crowd exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing the man.

When the woman saw the child lying on the ground with Song Jiaojiao pressing on his chest, she almost rushed over, but was held back by the man behind her.

"Let me go! Even if my son dies, how can he be insulted like this by the woman in front of me?" the woman cried out hoarsely.

"Madam, please calm down. Perhaps she has a different way of saving people. Let's wait a little longer." The man hugged the woman tightly, his face filled with hope. Over the years, he had witnessed many incredible things in various places. What if it worked?

Just then, the child vomited a large mouthful of water, and his lips began to turn from bluish-purple. The doctor who was taking his pulse exclaimed in delight,

"There's a pulse, though it's weak, but it's definitely there. It's incredible. In all my years of medical practice, I've never seen anyone bring someone back to life who isn't breathing."

The onlookers were all talking about it, their voices filled with disbelief.

"They really saved him?"

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? There was no pulse just now, but now there is, so he must have been saved. This is too miraculous."

"Yes, yes, this woman is truly remarkable; she can even snatch someone from the jaws of death."

After she said that, everyone's gaze towards Song Jiaojiao became even more intense.

Exhausted, Song Jiaojiao didn't hear what anyone was saying. Going into the water and receiving artificial respiration—even an iron body couldn't withstand it. If it weren't for the fact that she had been doing manual labor for many years and that the food had improved later on, she might not have been able to persevere.

"Sir, you should take the young master back quickly. He's fallen into the water and is likely to catch a cold. It would be best to get him back and prepare his medicine as soon as possible." The doctor stood up and said to the man. It was only the beginning of summer, and the nights were still cool. In addition, the young master had drunk a lot of river water. Whether he could survive depended on the skills of the doctor here.

The man nodded to Song Jiaojiao and hurriedly left with the child.

Even though the child was gone, the crowd of onlookers didn't leave for a second, staring at Song Jiaojiao as if she were a monkey.

Fortunately, Song Jiaojiao always prefers to wear dark-colored clothes, otherwise things might have been different.

"Everyone, let's go. The young lady went into the water to save someone, and her clothes are still wet. Let's not waste her time." The doctor said to everyone, "What kind of behavior is it for a large group of people to look at one woman?"

He turned to Song Jiaojiao and said, "Young lady, why don't you come with me to the pharmacy? My family's pharmacy is nearby."

Song Jiaojiao thought that she had gone into the water and had been standing in the wind by the river for so long, she would definitely catch a cold if she didn't take medicine.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, doctor," Song Jiaojiao said politely as she stood up.

"Of course, my surname is Qin, you can call me Uncle Qin." Doctor Qin led the way, introducing himself as he went.

"Uncle Qin, my name is Song Jiaojiao, but everyone calls me Madam Song."

In less than fifteen minutes, Song Jiaojiao arrived at the pharmacy with Doctor Qin, only to find that it was Huichuntang.

"Uncle Qin is a doctor at Huichuntang," Song Jiaojiao asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, is there something wrong with Madam Song?" Doctor Qin entered the shop, sat down at the table, and asked Song Jiaojiao to extend her hand so he could take her pulse.

"There's no problem, it's just that I know the owner of Huichuntang in Yunshui Town," Song Jiaojiao said softly after placing her hand on the table.

"Oh, Madam Song knows Manager Liu?" Doctor Qin was somewhat surprised. The surname is Song, could it be that person?

"Yes, I've sold medicinal herbs to Manager Liu a few times, and we've gotten to know each other quite well," Song Jiaojiao said, switching hands.

Doctor Qin took her pulse and said, "You have a bit of a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. Go home and boil it down to one bowl with three bowls of water. Drink it for three days and then come back for a different prescription. Madam Song, you also need to take care of your health. Cold uterus is no small matter."

Song Jiaojiao had forgotten about this incident. Every time her period came, she was in excruciating pain. She would say she was going to get it checked out, but then she would forget about it in the blink of an eye. This time, she even went into the water. I'm afraid she has no choice but to seek treatment.

"Yes, I always forget."

"It's alright, once this cold is cured, it will be fine after half a year of recuperation," Doctor Qin said as he wrote the prescription.

Half a year? ...

The thought of having to drink medicine for half a year is unbearable.

"I have truly seen the skill that Lady Song displayed today."

"It was all by chance, nothing compared to your real skills." Song Jiaojiao herself was just standing on the shoulders of giants; otherwise, how would she know these things?

"Madam Song is too modest. I wonder if we can use this method later?" Doctor Qin asked the question that had been on his mind. With this method, there wouldn't be so many people drowning.

"Of course, it's a good thing if it's useful," Song Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"I wonder if there are any precautions? I'll have to trouble Madam Song to explain them in detail."

"This method is generally effective for people who are suffocating, such as drowning people like today, people who suffocate while burning firewood at home without proper ventilation, and people who suddenly stop breathing due to heart palpitations. Just follow my technique today, but the suffocation time cannot be too long, otherwise even the Jade Emperor would be useless." Song Jiaojiao thought about the situations in her previous life where this method could be used and tried to explain it as clearly as possible.

"Then it can't be used on people who are choking and suffocating?" Doctor Qin thought of a child who came to the clinic a couple of years ago and choked on a pastry. He was helpless and could only watch the child die. This incident still lingered in his mind.

"The first step in artificial respiration is to ensure that there are no foreign objects in the trachea, which is the throat. In the situation you just described, we can only use another method." The Heimlich maneuver is generally used when someone is choking.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Qin knew that Song Jiaojiao had a way to treat the problem, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask what method it is, Madam Song?"

"This method is best understood after someone demonstrates it, Dr. Qin, what do you think..."

"It's nothing, Dang Gui. Come here, you can assist Madam Song." Doctor Qin called over an eleven or twelve-year-old apprentice. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Doctor Qin would have preferred to do it himself.

Looking at the smiling child in front of her, Song Jiaojiao couldn't very well refuse.

"Dr. Qin, you've seen it clearly." Song Jiaojiao got up and walked behind Dangui, hugging him from behind and placing one leg between Dangui's legs. "We need to do this: two fingers above the navel, make a fist with one hand and hold the fist with the other, and thrust backward and upward until the choked stuff comes out of the mouth." After demonstrating, Song Jiaojiao released Dangui.

Dang Gui's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed. He had never expected such a posture. Even Doctor Qin was shocked.
