Beijing Medical College, a pregnant ewe was tied to the operating table, "bleating" screaming non-stop, Li Zhang was wearing a custom-made white coat, holding a strange tool standing next to him, and behind him, there were Imperial Doctor Zhou and a group of teaching assistants from the medical school, these teaching assistants were all transferred from the Taiyi Bureau, most of them were very young, which was also required by Li Zhang, after all, young people can be more receptive to new things.

"Women are pregnant for ten months, but dystocia often occurs during childbirth, many of which are due to improper fetal position, resulting in the child cannot be born, and now this tool in my hand is called forceps, which is specially designed to cope with this situation." Li Zhang said and demonstrated to everyone how to use forceps.

Although the use of forceps will cause some complications for mothers and babies, it is a revolution in the history of human fertility, and many cases of dystocia can be solved by forceps, of course, special circumstances like Queen Zhang are not suitable for the use of forceps.

The ewe on the operating table is also in production, originally it didn't need such a strange tool as farrowing forceps, but for the sake of demonstration, it can only be wronged, after all, Li Zhang can't really find a woman to let so many people watch.

The production of ewes is very smooth, but it does not prevent Li Zhang from demonstrating the use of farrowing forceps, in fact, this thing does not have any technical content, it is said that it was first invented by the ancient Egyptians, but there are some things that need to be paid attention to when using, and try to avoid causing too much damage to the mother and baby.

Of course, some injuries are inevitable, such as in special circumstances, even need to break the baby's arm, so that the baby can be pulled out smoothly, although it looks cruel, but at least it can save the lives of the two children, and the baby's broken arm can also be connected, as long as it is dealt with, there will generally be no sequelae.

Li Zhang's explanation is very detailed, Imperial Doctor Zhou and they also listened very carefully, and there are even special people next to them to record, if it is not for the inconvenience of using the brush, Li Zhang will ask everyone to take notes, but now the pencil has not been made, it can only be written down by a special person, and then let them copy it later.

After a while, I saw that a wet Xu was pulled out by Li Zhang with birth forceps, and the ewe also stopped screaming, it is estimated that there is no strength, Xu worked hard a few times and quickly stood up, and his big eyes also looked at this strange world with a little horror, probably not knowing who was his mother.

At this time, Li Zhang let go of the ewes and asked them to take their mother and child away, and then asked Imperial Physician Zhou: "How is it, have you all written down the use of the farrowing forceps?" ”

"Written down!" Imperial Physician Zhou and other teaching assistants also nodded and said, this is not the first time Li Zhang has taught them a lesson, in fact, before this practice, Li Zhang has already given them a lot of theoretical lessons, so they have already been prepared before, and at this time, the practical operation also allows them to be in harmony with what they have learned before.

"Very good, I will arrange for you to actually operate in the next two days, and I will personally score you at that time." Li Zhang nodded at this time and said, the medical school has not officially opened yet, so he is mainly teaching these teaching assistants now to explain some modern medical theories, as for the real operation, there are no conditions yet, otherwise he may demonstrate caesarean section to the students.

After the class, Li Zhang was also a little tired, and asked the teaching assistants to get out of class, and he went outside to wash his hands, but at this time, Imperial Doctor Zhou suddenly came over and said, "Mountain Chief, there is something I have always wanted to say." ”

"Brother Zhou, please speak!" Li Zhang said with a smile, Imperial Physician Zhou looked old, but in fact, he was only in his forties, and the two of them also felt a little sympathetic after getting along for this time.

"That's the case, the use of forceps that the mountain chief talked about today, and the caesarean section mentioned before, is indeed a life-saving method, but our teaching assistants and students are all men, and it is not convenient to deliver a woman, right?" At this time, Imperial Physician Zhou finally spoke out the doubts in his heart.

Li Zhang smiled calmly after hearing this, in fact, he had already thought about this matter, although the Great Song Dynasty was not as feudal as the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the defense of men and women still had to be guarded, not to mention that even in later generations, obstetrics and gynecology were mainly female doctors, and many women were unwilling to let male and female doctors help them deliver babies, let alone women in this era.

"In fact, I let the teaching assistants and future students learn this, not to let them go to deliver the mother, the teaching assistant will teach these things to the students, and our students will be sent to the local government in the future to establish an official hospital, their task is not only to personally see the patient, but to bring the latest medical technology to the local area, for example, they can organize a group of midwife, teach them the use of forceps, which will definitely reduce the number of deaths caused by dystocia." Li Zhang said with a smile at this time.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Imperial Physician Zhou finally patted his head and understood, and immediately laughed and said: "Look at my elm head, I didn't expect this, if I can open official hospitals all over the country, I don't know how many people will live because of this, it's a great merit!" ”

Li Zhang also laughed when he heard this, and at the same time, he had a better impression of Imperial Doctor Zhou, because after he mentioned that the hospital was opened all over the country, the first thing he thought of was that he could save countless people, rather than that he would make great contributions because of this, so as to rise to prominence, which showed that the other party was indeed a benevolent doctor, no wonder he would study medical skills so hard.

"Mountain Chief, someone has come to the palace, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace!" At this moment, he suddenly saw someone come to report, which made Li Zhang immediately say goodbye to Imperial Doctor Zhou, and then left the medical school quickly.

The day before yesterday, news suddenly came from the Liao Kingdom that Yelu Zongzhen launched a coup d'état in Hot Spring Mountain, which made Li Zhang also scream, because this coup d'état was half a year earlier than the original history, but fortunately, the coup failed, Xiao Yunjin had already prepared and wiped out all the people involved in the coup, and Yelu Zongzhen also became a prisoner of the order.

It's just that what Li Zhang didn't expect was that on the night of the coup, there was another change, Yelu Renxian actually persuaded a Khitan general who held military power, and then waved his troops to the hot spring mountain to rescue, wanting to rescue Yelu Zongzhen, and even turned defeat into victory to control Zuo Yunjin.

However, the news sent is only here, and there is no more, because now the hot spring mountain is in a mess, and the two sides have not yet decided the winner, Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang are anxiously waiting for the final result of this Chu change.
