Chapter Forty-Eight: The First Operation of the Great Song Dynasty

It is now the beginning of March when he was born for three years, and Meng Ming's wife Li Yuchan is about to give birth at the end of the month, so Meng Ming has not gone out this month, and he will deal with it at home if he has something. Now Meng Ming is getting more and more nervous as the due date of the jade cicada is approaching, and when a woman gives birth in this world, she almost takes a trip to the ghost gate, and now there is no caesarean section. If the mother has dystocia, it is often one corpse and two lives.

At this time, Meng Ming had to prepare in advance, cesarean section was the last option, but Meng Ming also had to prepare, Meng Ming called Zhang Ruolan to help, he and Zhang Ruolan introduced the idea of caesarean section, Zhang Ruolan's intuition was incredible. Meng Ming had previously made a color general structure diagram of male and female body organs, as well as a structural diagram of various organ systems of the human body, marking the names of each organ in detail, and at the same time detailing the organ system of the human body, ready to be handed over to the medical school for teaching. This was copied by Meng Ming from the biology course materials he prepared for his son who was in high school in his previous life, and these were all stored on the mobile phone that he traveled with him.

Meng Ming printed hundreds of copies, so he gave Zhang Ruolan a copy, and was given her a set of junior and senior high school physiology textbooks from her previous life. thanked Meng Ming again and again. Meng Ming and she wanted to explain the process of the operation, precautions, etc. Meng Ming prepared another set of surgical equipment for Zhang Ruolan, scalpels, surgical scissors, surgical forceps, tweezers, and stitches. There are also anesthetics (hemp boiling powder), distilled spirits, gauze, etc.

Meng Ming also arranged an operating room at home and in Zhang Ruolan's medical hall, that is, twenty bright lights were arranged in an oval shape around the operating table to eliminate the dark shadows caused during the operation.

In the afternoon of this day, Meng Ming was in the medical hall of Zhang Ruolan's house, and continued to learn about surgery with her, and Wang Weiyi and Wu Tai also came and listened to the lecture. Suddenly, Zhang Ruolan's father Zhang Shouguang broke in and said, "Lan'er, a patient came just now who was seriously ill, and my father can't cure it, you go and take a look." When everyone in the room heard this, they hurried to the consultation hall, only to see a young man, lying on the hospital bed screaming and rolling. The patient's symptoms are: severe acute abdominal pain and bloating, vomiting that does not stop; Can't eat; cold extremities, nausea; Loose urine and undigested stools. Wang Weiyi checked the patient's pulse again, and then said with a solemn face: "It's an intestinal carbuncle." A nephew of Meng Ming in his previous life had appendicitis, so he checked relevant knowledge on the Internet, knew that appendicitis was called intestinal carbuncle in ancient times, and saw the patient's symptoms, Meng Ming basically concluded that it was appendicitis. At this time, the patient's family cried when they heard that it was an intestinal carbuncle, this disease was a minor operation in the previous life, but it was a terminal illness in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were sentenced to death.

At this time, Wang Weiyi took out a silver needle and stabbed it on one of the patient's acupuncture points, and the patient's moaning suddenly became quieter, Meng Ming knew that this was Wang Weiyi's attempt to alleviate the patient's pain, and in the end, the patient still inevitably died. The patient's family should carry the patient away and prepare for the funeral. Meng Ming spoke, and said, "Please stay, I have a way to try, but the chance of saving life is only half." Can your family give it a try? When the patient heard this, he hesitated, and felt that it should be regarded as "a dead horse as a live horse doctor", it was good to try, and Meng Ming also said that it was okay, even if it could not be saved, it had nothing to do with Meng Ming. At that time, Wang Wei wanted to stop Meng Ming, but Meng Ming had already made up his mind and pretended not to see it.

Meng Ming asked the patient to be carried to the operating room, let the patient's family wait outside, and did not disturb, and asked Zhang Ruolan to light the lamp, The patient was conscious on the hospital bed at this time, but his eyes were still full of expectations for survival. Meng Ming asked the patient to take the hemp and boil it, and Meng Ming took out the set of surgical equipment given to Zhang Ruolan, burned it with fire, and sterilized it. Meng Ming was also nervous at this time, he knew that he had never had surgery, and there was a great risk of failure, but he had to send it. Meng Ming took a deep breath to calm himself, Meng Ming remembered that the appendix should be on the lower right side of the abdomen, between the cecum and ileum, it was a slender and curved blind tube, distal atresia. Meng Ming picked up the scalpel and cut the general position of the appendix, and then there was blood flowing out, Meng Ming was a little dizzy, forced self-support, cut the abdominal cavity, Meng Ming was afraid that he could not find the appendix, after all, it was the first time to do surgery, but the patient's appendix was easier to find, it was swollen badly, and some were black and suppurated. Meng Ming quickly cut it off with a scalpel, then quickly sutured the wound, and left a catheter, and finally the operation was completed, Meng Ming had blood in one hand, looking at everyone in a daze, as if he was shocked. Meng Ming coughed, Zhang Ruolan came to her senses first, went up to clean and bandage the patient's wounds, and then brought Meng Ming a basin of water and asked him to wash his hands. Wang Weiyi and Wu Tai both looked forward and found that although the patient was in a coma, his breathing was very stable and there should be no sequelae. Then the two of them went to look at the severed appendix, but they couldn't see why.

Meng Ming introduced the relevant knowledge of surgery to them, and they didn't think it was strange. After all, Hua Tuo in the Three Kingdoms period had surgery with hemp boiling powder, but it was lost after the war. Meng Ming was shocked by the two of them, thinking that Meng Ming was Hua Tuo alive, which made Meng Ming smile bitterly. Meng Ming also found some excuses, and handed the booklet about the operation to Zhang Ruolan to the two people to read, and the two of them diverted their attention.

After the patient woke up an hour, Meng Ming called the family members and asked them to carry the patient to the ward. Meng Ming didn't let the patient go home, so he had to observe it again, and then go home when the wound was drawn, which would take about seven days. During this period, family members can accompany the bed and deliver meals, and Meng Ming explained the dietary taboos of the patients.

Meng Ming sat with Wang Weiyi, Wu Tai and Zhang Ruolan, who had obviously not recovered from the shock, but they felt that surgery would cause a medical revolution in the Great Song Dynasty, and they had seen the theoretical knowledge in the physiology textbook provided by Meng Ming. I feel that the current medicine and the theoretical knowledge provided by Meng Ming complement and follow each other, and will definitely promote the great progress of the medical level of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, they also realized the importance of Meng Ming's establishment of a medical school from their hearts, and for these new theoretical knowledge, these famous doctors decided to learn from scratch like students.

Meng Ming also plans to design a microscope to give these famous doctors an intuitive understanding of some bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, especially tuberculosis (tuberculosis) and plague, which have a very high mortality rate. Meng Ming's mobile phone recorded the method of cultivating and producing penicillin by the soil method. At that time, it will be handed over to the lecturers and professors of the medical school for them to develop.

Meng Ming felt that there was a lot of work to be done, not only medically, but also in people's livelihood, economy, military, and superstructure, to name a few. Take your time, Renzong has been an emperor for more than 40 years, and although Renzong is only fifteen years old, he is no longer as "indecisive and lacking perseverance" as he was in history. Meng Ming is full of confidence in the future.
