685【Surgery】
(PS: Flying, note that it is flying, not the ears are flying.) Due to the misunderstanding that is easy to be caused by written expressions, a little description was added to the previous chapter, and Lao Zhou's ears are still hanging. )
St Mary's Hospital, London.
Founded 90 years ago and now part of the University of London, the hospital has a strong pool of medical technology and physicians, and many members of the British royal family were born here.
Outside the operating room, Zhang Leyi, Ma Jue and others waited anxiously.
Suddenly, the operating room opened, and Zhang Leyi immediately rushed up: "Nurse, how is my husband?" ”
The nurse said expressionlessly, "Mr. Zhou has lost too much blood and needs a blood transfusion." ”
"Lose mine!"
"Lose mine!"
The crowd raised their arms.
"Mr. Zhou has AB blood type, and in principle, he is a universal blood recipient," the nurse continued, "but for the sake of safety, it is better to give him AB blood transfusions." If you are willing to donate blood, please come to the laboratory for blood tests, come with me. ”
The aisle outside the operating room was immediately empty, and everyone followed the nurse to get a blood test.
Soon two more doctors came, one of whom was a gray-haired old man, who went straight into the operating room under the guidance of the nurse.
The doctors and nurses inside were stunned and shouted respectfully, "Sir Sherington, Professor Pierre!" ”
The white-haired old man was none other than Charles Scott Sherrington, winner of the 1932 Nobel Prize in Medicine and an expert in physiology and nervous system. This person is also an anatomical expert, now working at Oxford University, during this time he happened to be at the University of London for academic exchanges, and when he heard that Zhou Hexuan was injured, he took the initiative to come to help.
The other middle-aged man is Coos Pierre, a professor of anatomy at the University of London and a top surgeon.
Since St Mary's Hospital is an affiliated hospital of the University of London, the two of them had just been discussing neurological and anatomical issues in the hospital, and it was only a few minutes before they arrived in the operating room.
"How's the injured doing?" Sir Sherington asked.
The chief surgeon hurriedly said: "The injured person was shot a total of 5 times, namely the left ear, left shoulder, right arm, abdomen and left calf, of which the abdominal injury is seriously unknown. We are afraid of losing too much blood, so we don't dare to have surgery on our abdomen for the time being, and we are waiting for blood supply. ”
"I'll see." Sir Sherington leaned over.
The chief surgeon said with a smile: "The assailant used an M1911 pistol, which had a great penetrating force, and the calf muscles were pierced. But Mr. Zhou was very lucky, you see this wound in the abdomen, the bullet hit the edge of the belt, and most of the impact has been removed. ”
Sherington nodded and said, "I hope I didn't hurt my organs, go on, I'll guide." ”
Zhou Hexuan had a penetrating wound on his calf, and the doctor had done a good job of cleaning, stopping bleeding and disinfecting.
Next was the ear, where the bullet grazed the cheekbone, leaving a scorching trail of blood on the cheek, and then penetrated the earnail cavity and lifted the lower third of the ear straight away. Including the earlobe, only one cartilage of the ear boat is now attached, and it may completely fall off at any time.
Sir Shelrington was a lecturer in anatomy at Cambridge University more than 50 years ago and has personally dissected countless corpses. But he was 78 years old after all, and he was not a professional surgeon, so he did not have his own surgery.
The chief surgeon became Professor Pierre, and Sir Sherrington personally held a magnifying glass and placed it above the ear to teach on the spot: "The sutures of the pinna are very easy to handle, but everyone should pay attention to the fact that the wounded man's external auditory canal and its nerves and blood vessels are also slightly torn. If the wound in the external auditory canal is not treated well, it may affect the victim's sense of hearing and balance......"
While Professor Pierre was stitching up his ear, the phlebotomist came to the operating room and said, "The donor is ready!" ”
Among the people who sent Zhou Hexuan to the hospital, only Ma Jue, a male classmate, and two policemen were of AB blood type, and they all sat in the blood collection room and waited in line.
In these years, the blood transfusion technology was still very backward, and although American biochemists had invented the method of separating plasma proteins from low-temperature ethanol, it had not yet been popularized on a large scale. The mixed plasma only stays in the laboratory, and the blood transfusion is done in a sterile vacuum glass bottle, which can be stored for a short time, and it is best to withdraw and transfuse it now, the longer the risk of infection.
A glass vial filled with blood hung at the head of the bed, and when Professor Pierre had finished stitching up the injured ear, Sir Sherrington said, "Prepare for the surgery!" ”
Zhou Hexuan's wound in the abdomen was large, and the bullet hit the edge of the cowhide belt, although most of the impact was removed as a result, but it changed the direction of impact and the balance of rotation of the bullet. The bullet pierced the abdomen at an angle of 45 degrees, and the irregular rotation stirred a large hole in the abdomen, and the wound looked extremely terrifying.
Pierre made a "cross" in the wound, and quickly found the warhead inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, but it hurt the outer wall of the large intestine and did not penetrate the wall of the large intestine." ”
In the mid-30s, although the antimicrobial miracle drug sulfonamide was already available, the risk of postoperative infection of the large intestine was still very high, which was a blessing in misfortune.
……
Guo Taiqi and Li Siguang hurried to the hospital and met Zhang Leyi and others outside the operating room.
"Brother and sister, how is Mingcheng doing?" Guo Taiqi said anxiously.
Zhang Leyi's face was not dry, and she said helplessly: "It's still operating, and I don't know what happened to him." ”
"It's okay, Brother Mingcheng Jiren Tianxiang." Li Siguang comforted.
"I don't know, I don't know......" Zhang Leyi covered her head and muttered to herself, Yu Peichen could only help her and keep patting her shoulder to comfort.
Li Siguang asked, "Has there been any notification to the country?" ”
Guo Taiqi said: "A transoceanic telegram has been sent to Nanjing, and there has been no reply from China for the time being." ”
At this moment, there was a noise outside the hospital building:
"We're going in!"
"Why don't you let us in the hospital?"
"The police are abusing their power!"
“……”
Guo Taiqi's face showed a look of anger, he walked quickly outside with a civilized staff, instantly changed to a peaceful expression, and persuaded: "Fellow journalists, Mr. Zhou is undergoing surgery, please be quiet." ”
The reporters arrived at the hospital early, but they were all blocked by the police, and they were all anxious.
Seeing someone come out to speak, a reporter immediately shouted: "Mr. Guo, I'm Lance from the Observer, and I once interviewed you!" ”
"Hello, Mr. Lance." Guo Taiqi nodded in greeting.
The reporter then asked, "Mr. Guo, is Mr. Zhou's life in danger?" ”
Guo Taiqi's answer was very official: "The operation is underway, and if there is any progress, I will personally inform you." Please stay calm. ”
"Mr. Guo, I heard that the perpetrator this time was Japanese, do you think it will cause a diplomatic conflict between China and Japan?" Another reporter asked.
Guo Taiqi's Tai Chi Kung Fu was perfect, and he was filled with righteous indignation: "I am very indignant at the barbaric practice of assassination, and I hereby strongly condemn it, hoping that the London police can severely punish the murderer in accordance with the law." And I also pay tribute to the people of London who lost their lives, all of whom were innocent victims. ”
Well, although Zhou Hexuan escaped by luck, the citizens who came to listen to the speech suffered heavy casualties.
Two bombs landed in the pile and exploded, killing nine people on the spot, and nearly 30 others were injured, and the stampede caused by the chaos also caused a tragedy of 1 dead and 42 wounded. Some of the seriously injured are still lying in hospitals, and the death toll is estimated to rise to double digits.
Even if Zhou Hexuan is unharmed, just killing so many London citizens is enough to cause a sensation in public opinion.
