The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 907

The third fact that flabbergasted Matthew was the surgical tools that existed during the Renaissance—like willow-shaped knives, flat blade knives, surgical scissors, and suture scissors.

But what really struck Matthew's soul was the invention of the needles made of bone.

Around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, the tiniest bone needle was unearthed. It was one inch long and 0.1 inches in diameter. It was made from animal rib and could be used for stitching or sewing up wounds.

Next, there was the widespread use of stone therapy. It was a simple medical tool made from stone dating back to the Neolithic era. It was applied to treat pain, drain pus, and perform bloodletting.

When Matthew read the info about these two items, it was mind-blowing like seeing a unicorn.

Who would've thought that traditional medicine utilized surgery even thousands of years ago? It wasn't just surreal. It was downright unbelievable.

A long time ago, traditional medicine included surgery, but such a practice was gone now. Some people even labeled traditional medicine as superstitious and backward.

Matthew believed this was the path to make traditional medicine better. That was why he was into the Harmona Sect.

He pulled out his phone and looked up the profile of the Harmona Sect's successor—Pierre Davenport.

As a 36-year-old man, he lived in Kirkshire of the eastern suburbs of Lambda. He was five foot three inches tall and weighed around 200 pounds.

The medical book passed down to him was Five Integrations of Traditional and Modern Medicine, and the legacy item was Crimson Gold Token.

Matthew was intrigued by Five Integrations of Traditional and Modern Medicine and wondered what kind of medical knowledge it contained, so he drove to Kirkshire to satisfy his curiosity.
