The transcript describes a situation where a shortage of oil led to the creation of a new ointment using egg yolks, oil of roses, and turpentine, inspired by Roman practices.

Consequently, the narrator decided to abandon the old method and adopt a new technique involving silk thread to stop bleeding.
