"Madame, what's your name?"
In a makeshift glass room next to the palace of Windsor Castle, Dr. Zhu put on a white coat and rubber gloves, and while receiving a bright scalpel from a court maid who had temporarily turned a nurse, he looked at a pot-bellied woman lying on the operating table, or rather tied to the operating table.
"First, sir, my name is Mary." The pot-bellied woman was very young, not very pretty, with red hair, blue eyes, and a lot of freckles on her nose - she looked like an Irishman, but in fact it was Will. Hemming hired shiyan from Manchester's Little Irish Quarter for a few pounds.
Because the great Queen Victoria Bixia wanted to see the legendary caesarean section, although she was very reluctant to have such a knife on her noble belly, she was even more reluctant to die in childbirth, because she loved the British people under her rule so much......
Now Queen Bixia and Prince Albert were sitting side by side on two chairs outside the glass house, their brown eyes wide and their faces full of curiosity and excitement. The performance of the living people's disembowelment, Queen Bixia is the first time to see it! And...... I heard that after a caesarean section, she could sew her stomach together with a needle and thread, or in a week the woman who was tied to the operating table would be able to jump back to the slums of Manchester to continue to suffer.
In contrast, Prince Albert was a little nervous, his lips were white, and his brow was tightly wrinkled. I don't know if I'm worried about the woman who is about to be stabbed, or if I'm worried about my wife who is about to give birth. If today's surgical performance can be successful, then the chances of Queen Bixia dying in childbirth will be greatly reduced.
"Madam, don't be afraid, it's just a minor operation." Zhu Jishi smiled and comforted the woman who gave her belly for a few pounds - she was not a pregnant woman with a difficult birth, she was simply too poor to open the pot before taking the risk.
"Sir, is chloroform ready?" Zhu Jishi turned his head and asked his assistant and anaesthetist, Sir Reid, well, that was the Royal Society of Medicine, who was the Queen's court physician and Zhu Jishi's first student. Compared with the safety of Queen Bixia, the personal grudge between him and Zhu Jishi is not the same thing at all, if there is no awareness of this, how can he be a palace doctor?
In fact, the historical Sir Reed was a very conscientious royal doctor, especially in obstetrics and pediatrics, Queen Victoria is so able to give birth, every time the mother and child are safe, and all 9 children have grown up is the most haode proof.
"It's ready, sir." Sir Reed said respectfully.
Chloroform is currently the focus of the British medical community's research on surgical anesthesia gas, and Zhu Jishi did not have much research on surgical anesthesia, so he followed Sir Reed's advice and used chloroform, and also used morphine hydrochloride for auxiliary anesthesia and postoperative anesthesia.
Zhu Jishi nodded, and said to the pregnant woman with wide eyes and a frightened face: "Madam, my assistant Sir Reed will give you a little chloroform later, and then you won't know anything, and when you wake up, your baby will have already come to life." ”
"Really?" Pregnant woman trembles.
"Really, I'm Emperor Xiangshang promised." Although Zhu Jishi doesn't believe in God, he always likes to talk about his old man.
"Okay, I'm ready......" The pregnant woman's tears finally burst out.
"Sir, give her chloroform." Zhu Jishi knew that he was soft-hearted and couldn't see a woman shed tears, so he hurriedly asked Sir Reed to numb the pregnant woman, and then began the operation of caesarean section to remove the baby. First, let the nurse wipe the belly of the pregnant woman repeatedly with iodine tincture, and then use a scalpel to cut the abdomen in the correct position, and then find the ** incision...... In this way, the baby was taken out without danger and handed to the nurse to be cleaned, and Zuihou taught Sir Reed to stitch up the wound of the pregnant woman.
This operation is really not a major operation in later generations, Zhu Jishi has done it many times in Oumen Hospital, and now he can be regarded as familiar with it. However, in the eyes of the two audiences, it is simply magical to the point of being incomprehensible. Especially the queen was so excited that when it was time to have lunch with Zhu Jishi, she was still there talking about her feelings.
“…… It's amazing that a child can be born like this! Cut open the mother's belly...... Oh, that woman really doesn't feel pain, does she? ”
"It won't hurt, and she will continue to use morphine hydrochloride for five days after the operation, and her wound will be completely closed after five days, so naturally it won't hurt anymore." Zhu Jishi said.
"It's amazing!" The Queen clapped her hands, turned her head and looked at Prince Albert expectantly, "Dear Albert, do you know how painful childbirth can be? ”
Prince Albert smiled slightly wryly, "Dear Alexandrina, caesarean section surgery is dangerous after all. He looked at Zhu Jishi, "Jason, did you say?" ”
"Yes, it's dangerous."
The queen pouted and said unwillingly: "Jason, then under what circumstances should such a dangerous means be used to take out the baby?" ”
"Improper fetal position, that is, the fetus's feet are facing down or horizontally in the ** and the position is too low, a caesarean section should be used, and in addition, the amniotic fluid is cloudy during the delivery process, which usually means that the fetus may face asphyxia."
"Suffocation?" The queen looked at Zhu Jishi like a curious baby, "Jason, you mean the fetus is breathing in my belly?" This one...... How did it happen? There's air in it? ”
"Through the amniotic fluid, the fetus breathes in the water." Zhu Jishi thought uncertainly: "I accidentally contributed to the progress of European medicine in 1843." ”
"Breathing in water? It's not the same with fish! The queen was surprised.
"Well, that's true, that's how the Creator arranged it, but when the fetus comes into the world, it will soon lose that ability." Zhu Jishi tried to explain.
"I see." The queen didn't get to the bottom of it, and Albert on the side wrote down Zhu Jishi's views, and later asked experts from the Royal Society of Medicine to study it.
"Jason, I heard that your pharmaceutical factory is located in Manchester?" Prince Albert took a sip of whiskey, "The opening of the factory is going well, right?" ”
"Well, it went very well." Zhu Jishi said, "Not only a pharmaceutical factory, but also a rubber products factory. ”
"Rubber products?"
"That's it," Zhu Jishi pulled out a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket and handed them to Albert. "These gloves are made of rubber, which can also be used to make carriage wheels, shoes, and condoms."
"Condoms?" The Queen interjected.
"It's just a set...... It is not 100% safe to put it on the man's words to prevent J liquid from ejaculating into the woman's body and achieve the purpose of contraception. ”
"It's a pretty good invention." The Queen blushed and looked at Prince Albert, "I think many people will need this thing, by the way, is this thing on sale now?" ”
"We have started supplying pharmacies, but the demand is not huge." Zhu Jishi said in his heart that there is no concept of "adult products" in this era, and grocery store owners do not recognize this thing, so condoms can only be sold in pharmacies in the UK at the moment, and the sales are far from meeting expectations.
