Demon King Chapter 31 Rehabilitation
When Colonel Shiffert left, Chentian's attending doctor, Norbert Cather, was already waiting outside the door.
Chentian then asked the chamberlain to bring in Dr. Kaiser and his assistant, a doctor in his fifties who was a well-known orthopedic and rehabilitation doctor in Germany, and had a knack for treating war wounds, especially mental wounds. During the war, the corresponding countries called for service in front-line field hospitals, and once treated several wounded German generals, and their medical skills were widely praised.
Cather arrived empty-handed, and it appeared that the tools used for examination and treatment were in the black suitcase in the hands of his assistant, a female nurse of ordinary appearance, who was neither tall nor fat. After the other party approached, Chen Tian said:
"Dr. Cather, I'm sorry to keep you waiting! Here we go! ”
"Your Majesty, let's not start in a hurry now!" Cather clasped his hands together and said to Chentian very sincerely, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness, but I would like to be able to understand the process of your injury before arranging a rehabilitation plan. Your attendant only revealed that you were injured in an explosion, and that wasn't enough for me! ”
Without much displeasure, Chen Tian just said, "Is this the need for rehabilitation?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Kaiser was very serious and told Chentian directly, "Although there may be some confidential issues involved, as your attending doctor, I still hope you can tell me the truth!" ”
"It was a very painful memory!" Chen Tian closed his eyes as he spoke, and the scene of that day gradually appeared in his mind......
The site of the explosion was near the table where many wine glasses were kept, and Chentian and Lisa were about 20 paces away from that table at the time, a distance that was quite fatal for a large amount of high-explosive ordnance. If it was an open place, Chen Tian would have been blown up long ago, but fortunately, there were many people standing between the explosion site and Chen Tian and his wife, including Americans, Russians, Japanese, Austrians and Turks, whose bodies resisted a considerable part of the debris and impact for Chen Tian.
Of course, when the heads of the United States, Russia, Japan, Austria-Hungary and Turkey are ready to raise their glasses. Chen Tian and his wife took pictures from German reporters, and this situation was not entirely accidental. Just one day before the signing of the agreement, Chentian received a secret telegram from the domestic intelligence department, saying that there were indications that the previous shooting in New York was not a single assassination, and that it was likely that there was a larger, premeditated assassination campaign behind it, targeting not only the German delegation, but also the delegations of the six countries participating in the international naval conference. Unfortunately, they are not sure whether this conspiracy originated from the British government-in-exile or France, nor do they know how, when, and where the saboteurs acted. At the end of the secret message, he asked Chen Tian to stay away from the other five heads of state as much as possible when he was active. It is best to leave for Germany immediately.
If he could choose again, Chen Tian might follow the advice of his staff and take an airship back to Germany, so that at least he would not lose his beloved in the explosion the next day, and he would not be seriously injured. Less than 10 minutes after the signing ceremony, a bomb hidden nearby exploded, and when people investigated afterwards, they found that the crater left by the explosion site was nearly 4 meters in diameter, which was even more powerful than a heavy shell!
"I saw only a flash of extremely bright light not far away, and at the same time there was a loud bang, and I fainted on the spot! When he woke up, he was lying in a bed at Washington Central Hospital. The doctors have removed the foreign body embedded in my body. There were shards of glass, clods of earth and fine sand, and at that time I was bandaged like a big rice dumpling! Chentian's eyes were still closed. The expression was extremely painful.
"And then you learned that Her Majesty had died?" Cather asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I immediately felt extremely painful both physically and mentally!" Chen Tian had to admit that at that time, he was so angry that he wanted to wipe out the world, but in an instant, he became disillusioned again, and the huge psychological gap did not last long, and he quickly forced himself to calm down. Three days later, when his injuries had stabilized, his entourage put himself and the other wounded on the airship, and after four days of non-stop flight, he finally returned to Berlin.
"I've seen the injury analysis report given to you at Washington Central Hospital in the United States. It's a miracle that you've survived! The violent oscillation, the brain fell into a coma for a while, the internal organs were bleeding, and there were more than 30 wounds all over the body, but fortunately, there was only no fatal injury! Cather said with some admiration, "During the Battle of Verdun, I treated many wounded in the front-line field hospital, and with His Majesty's injury, it is almost impossible to survive without a strong desire to survive!" ”
Chen Tian was silent. He remembered hearing Lisa's voice when he was unconscious, and that voice kept telling him to survive because he was the greatest king in this world, and there were many dreams waiting for him to fulfill. In the dark, he returned to his childhood hometown, saw strange and familiar faces, saw the big rivers, the big rivers, the lofty mountains, the green mountains and green waters. After a long time, he opened his eyes tiredly.
"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I'd like to do some small check-ups for you next!" Cather said politely, and his assistant had prepared the tools for the examination.
Chen Tian seemed to have no reason to refuse.
The process wasn't much different from what Tatsutian had ever known, as Dr. Kaiser first carefully examined the healing of wounds on his arms and legs with the naked eye, and then asked him to move his right and left hands.
Chen Tian successfully completed his request, and his hands seemed to move as freely as before.
Then Cather said, "Your Majesty, will you try to lift your left leg up?" ”
Chen Tian tried very hard to lift his left leg as before, but he couldn't do it.
"Alright, Your Majesty, then try your right leg now!"
With his efforts, Chen Tian felt that his right leg could move up slightly.
"Your Majesty, please close your eyes and tell me what your left leg can feel!"
"Uh...... I can feel you pressing my legs! Chen Tian closed his eyes and replied, "I pressed it seven times in total, from top to bottom!" ”
"Your Majesty, you are the most cooperative of the people I have ever treated!" After all, Cather got a small wooden hammer from his assistant, a scene that Chen Tian had often seen on TV before, and it seemed to be called a nerve percussion test.
Not much. Cather ended this brief inspection.
"Your Majesty, your external injuries have basically healed, and your hands have completely recovered, but your legs, especially your left leg, are not in good condition! But don't worry too much, based on what you've just described and what I've examined, I think your leg is only temporarily impaired with standing and walking due to peripheral nerve damage, which is common in wartime and many people experience this symptom after a bullet wound! ”
"Nerve damage? Is it because of mental reasons? Chen Tian still didn't quite understand the meaning of this medical term. He thought it was a mental disorder that came from the brain's thinking, and some people had recovered after being injured, but because of mental shadows and other reasons, there was a kind of "fake disability, fake paralysis".
"Your Majesty, the so-called peripheral nerve injury refers to a type of injury caused by the damage of nerves in the body due to damage to soft tissues, which can be caused by fractures, cuts, compression injuries and firearm injuries. Peripheral nerve injuries are divided into several categories, and in terms of the condition of your leg wounds, foot posture and muscle response, you are one of the more optimistic, which means that the chances of recovery are relatively high! Cather not only corrected Chentian's misconceptions. And by the way, I report the results of my own examination in full.
"Oh. That's right! So how long will it take me to recover? ”
"Your Majesty, it is difficult to estimate the exact recovery time for this injury, it may be a few days, a few weeks. It may be a few months, but if you can't recover for a long time, you will need surgery! In your case, the early post-injury management is very good, and it is winter, so your wound recovery is good. The next step is for aggressive treatment and recovery. During this time, I have to observe you regularly to make sure that your legs are actually recovering on their own, and at the same time give you mobility exercises and therapeutic massages. In addition, you will have to arrange a certain amount of muscle training, which will be a little difficult at first, but you must be optimistic and positive to cooperate with me! ”
As he spoke, Cather confessed a lot of things as seriously and sternly as an ordinary doctor treats a patient. When he came to his senses, he found that the Kaiser's eyes were fixed on him, which made him uncomfortable to turn his gaze to his assistant.
"It sounds like a lot of complicated, so please bother with that!" Chen Tian said very politely.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, you are not only our supreme sovereign. He is also the person we admire and admire the most, so I will definitely try my best to make you recover as soon as possible! Just a little bit ......"
Seeing that Cather was a little speechless, Chen Tian probably guessed what he meant.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Only then did Cather speak cautiously: "Yes, Your Majesty! These are all injuries to your body, but that's not all! You've been in a coma for a long time since your injury, your brain has been violently shaken, and you've had internal bleeding, and I'm afraid these will leave some hidden problems in your body! ”
"Concussion, internal bleeding, sequelae!" Chen Tian read these words softly, after all, this is 1916, and the medical concepts and techniques are far inferior to later generations, so even an experienced doctor like Kaiser cannot make accurate judgments on many things, but can only express it with "worry".
It's a pity that he hasn't studied medicine, and he doesn't have any in-depth contact in this area, Chen Tian, a later generation, can hardly help in medicine, he can only tell Cather: "In this case, I think it is necessary to observe for a long time, so that you can understand my physical condition in detail and in a timely manner, you can live in the palace, how about it?" My doctor! ”
Hearing Chen Tian say "my doctor", Kaiser immediately understood what he meant, but he never thought of becoming a full-time doctor for a certain person, so although he was also practicing medicine, the number of patients and cases he could come into contact with was greatly reduced.
"Your Majesty, you are right, it is very necessary to observe carefully for a long time! You don't think this will work, but after this period of rehabilitation, I will come once or twice a week to do a full body check-up for you. ”
Chen Tian looked up and looked carefully at the doctor in front of him, it seemed that he didn't fully understand what he meant. If a person knows something that the emperor does not want outsiders to know, there are only two ways to go, either die or stay by the emperor's side.
Although this bombing was not a very shameful thing, Chen Tian did not want his subjects and opponents to know about his injuries, which would not only reduce his prestige, but also make it easier for opponents to follow suit. Although the whole world was advised to know about the bombing of the U.S. Capitol, the six governments kept a low profile for their own reasons, and the German people received information from the newspapers that their emperor and empress were only slightly frightened by the bombing, and that occasionally the empress died of a serious illness on the way to your country.
Luxurious funerals cannot save the lives of the deceased, Chen Tian has felt the gloom of politics more than once, if the people know the truth, they will strongly demand the punishment of the murderer, the revenge of the Empress, the revenge of Germany, these intentions are good, but they are easily induced by mistakes, they are likely to use demonstrations, strikes to demand that the government declare war on the United States, under great pressure the government may have to make concessions. However, both Tatsuten and his chancellor of the exchequer are well aware that now is far from the time for war, but the people, the people, whose self-esteem and self-confidence have skyrocketed because of the victory in the previous war, will not understand this.
"Don't you think it's a great honor to be the royal physician of the German Imperial Family?" Chen Tian's expression was still calm, but his tone strengthened slightly.
Kaiser finally heard the voice of the voice this time, this kind of thing only needs to think about it to know where to go, and in shame, he had to agree to the emperor's request.
In this case, Chen Tian didn't go around the bend, "Well, it's good!" After today's rehabilitation, I will ask my attendant to send someone back with you, and you can tell them what things you need to bring and what you need to buy! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cather said and glanced at the assistant next to her, it seems that she will stay by her side in the future, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it seems that time will tell.
Due to the serious damage in the previous rebel party, Chen Tian has abandoned the former imperial palace in the east of Berlin, and the new imperial palace built by his personal funds will be built in the northern suburbs of Berlin, until the new palace is completed, he will have been living in a palace near Potsdam in the western suburbs of Berlin, and officials, attendants, maids, guards and other cadres have also moved in. Although it is a bit far from the city, the pleasant scenery here is incomparable to the city.
