Chapter 717: Craniotomy
Hua Tuo stepped out of the gate of Jingzhou Academy, and before getting into the car, he subconsciously pulled his collar and let out a long breath. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info full text..
"What's wrong?" Cao Cāo happened to also come out of the door, and when he saw Hua Tuo looking like he had just escaped, he couldn't help laughing: "Someone is chasing you?" ”
Hua Tuo shook his head, and glanced at the door of the medical school with palpitations, many of the medical students who had come to listen to his lectures had not left, and were arguing fiercely at the door. "It's not easy to get these ten gold, my reputation was almost ruined here today."
Cao Cāo was surprised: "Why, there is still someone in this Jingzhou Academy who can find you rare?" ”
"It's not that there are, but there are many." Hua Tuo fanned the wind with his hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "These people are a little crazy, for the sake of the left liver and right lung, they almost put the corpses in the school." ”
"What's wrong, the left liver and the right lung are wrong?" Although Cao Cāo's Confucian knowledge is not deep, he has a lot of miscellaneous learning, and he also involves medical books, and he knows that this is a sentence from the "Neijing".
"Yes and no." Hua Tuo got into the car and beckoned the coachman to hurry up and return to the inn, as if he wanted to leave this place quickly. Cao Cāo looked a little funny, but he didn't rush, he knew that Hua Tuo would explain this sentence that seemed a little inexplicable.
The carriage left Jingzhou College and walked out of more than three miles. Hua Tuocai explained: "Yes, because from my years of treatment experience, the principle expounded in this sentence is correct. It's not right because in the human body, the liver is not on the left, but on the right, and the lungs are not only on the right. The same is true on the left. ”
Cao Cāo was surprised, he had seen a lot of dead people, but he was not a doctor after all, and he was not as experienced as Hua Tuo in dissecting corpses.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand this either, so those medical students say to me that this sentence doesn't match the actual situation. I don't know how to explain it, but the only thing that can be used as a basis is a medical book like "Neijing". However, those medical students have empirical evidence in hand, and they will not accept any medical books they take. They say that books are written by men. After countless copies of the book, it is difficult to guarantee the correctness, maybe the person who wrote the book made a mistake, maybe it was a mistake, as long as it does not match the facts, it is wrong, even if it was written by the Yellow Emperor himself. ”
"Hey, these people who have no respect for their superiors and deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors." Cao Cāo patted Che Shi and scolded with a smile: "This is a bit like Liu Deran's virtue." Metamorphosis. Do you know that his daughter, Liu He, learned a sentence from him, saying that 'I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more', and also said that it was said by Western sages. It's just a joke, what sages are there in the West, just a bunch of barbarians......"
"You're wrong." Hua Tuo interrupted Cao Cāo and said very seriously: "I have also heard this sentence, it is indeed said by Western sages, it seems to be called Adode. It's still called Asd's. ”
"Is there really such a person?" Cao Cāo's eyes widened: "I always thought that Liu Deran was talking about his crooked reasoning in the name of the ancients." Where did you hear that? ”
"Me?" Hua Tuo was speechless, rolled his eyes, and prevaricated: "I forgot, I've heard it anyway." ”
"And—" Cao Cāo dragged his voice, dismissive.
"Don't talk about that, let's talk about this medical skill." Hua Tuo returned to the topic, and continued: "Starting from this point, someone moved out a bunch of atlases, all of which were drawings of various parts of the human body, and compared them with the internal scriptures one by one, pointing out dozens of inconsistencies. There are some questions that I can answer, but then there are some questions that I have never heard of, and of course I can't answer them, and the result is ......."
"As a result, people laughed at?"
Hua Tuo nodded awkwardly, paused for a moment, and said: "But that set of atlases is really good, I have never seen such a detailed map of the human body, this is not an imagination, it should be drawn according to a real corpse." ”
"That's right, in the battle of Yanzhou last year, the doctors and craftsmen of the baggage battalion did not do such a thing, and there were countless corpses dismembered by them, and some of them basically became a pile of minced meat in the end, which was placed in different categories, similar to killing pigs and slaughtering cows, and I was horrified to see it. [.”
Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cāo, who was shrinking his neck, and his curiosity rose. When they returned to the inn, Hua Tuo had just entered the door when he saw a man dressed in the costume of a palace official sitting in the house. Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment and closed the door.
"Your Majesty has a secret edict." The man saluted and took out a secret edict. Hua Tuo accepted the edict, but the man didn't ask much, turned around and retreated. Hua Tuo opened the soap sac of the edict, and in addition to the edict, there was also a finger strip two fingers wide. Hua Tuo glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly. He walked back and forth in the room twice, quickly wrote an echo, stuffed it back into the green bag, opened the door, and beckoned to Lang Guan, who was standing in the distance and pretending to watch the scenery. The Lang official looked around, walked over at a trot, took the green sac, and left quickly.
Hua Tuo returned to the room and pondered for a long time before he came to Cao Cāo's door and knocked on it. Cao Cāo was resting, and when he saw Hua Tuo, he was quite surprised: "Yuanhua, something?" ”
"It's nothing, I want to go to the Chu Palace, I don't know if you are interested in going with me."
Cao Cāo looked at Hua Tuo's face, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay, I just want to go to see Liu Deran, let's go together." ”
……
The palace of the king of Chu was solemn and solemn, and the number of guests who came and went to mourn did not decrease, but the anger in the sadness slowly dissipated, turning into an indescribable depression, shrouded in the sky above the palace of the king of Chu. As soon as he approached the Chu Palace, he could make people unnaturally serious, and his mood felt heavy.
After the report, someone directly led Cao Cāo and Hua Tuo to the backyard where Liu Xiu lived. During the period when Liu Xiu was ill, foreign affairs were taken care of, internal affairs were handled by the eldest princess, and those business matters were taken over by Wang Chu. As the old ministry successively sent his children to Jiangling, Liu Xiu prepared a school in the side courtyard of the Chu Palace, where everyone, including Liu He, Liu Ye and others, lived in a centralized manner and lived a collective life, reading books in the morning, learning martial arts in the afternoon, and playing games together in the evening.
When Cao Cāo entered, Liu Xiu and Tang sat side by side under the porch. After a period of nursing, Tang gradually recovered, his mouth was not so crooked, and the tremors of his hands and feet were not serious, but he couldn't speak yet, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and Jing Shen had not recovered from the blow.
"Mengde, Yuanhua, sit!" Liu Xiu said hello, asked people to push Tang to the small courtyard next to him, and invited Cao Hua and the others to sit down. Hua Tuo stared at the strange object that Tang was sitting in that looked like a Hu bed and had two wheels for a long time, and said with a smile: "What is this, it is really convenient for patients, and it saves them from being carried around." ”
"It's called a wheelchair, it was designed by Huang Chengyan." Liu Xiu smiled faintly: "Huang Chengyan also has a mysterious master who taught him the Mozi Technique, and his attainments in machinery can be said to be unique in the world. His master is really a master of the world. Yuanhua, I don't know if it will be the same as your master. ”
Hua Tuo smiled and shook his head: "I don't know much about Shizun's affairs. However, he's a mechanic, I'm a doctor, so it shouldn't have anything to do with it. No matter which one you are, being able to reach such a state is the result of years of cultivation. The most taboo thing in practice is greed, because I have a career in my heart, and I also want to read some Confucian books, but my master said that I can't achieve success in the end, and abandoned me. If there is someone who can combine the two skills of mechanical surgery and medical skills, to be honest, I can't believe it. ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "This is not true, knowledge depends on accumulation, and the process of exploration is difficult, but it is not difficult to learn established knowledge." After all, technology is not a practice, it all depends on one's own enlightenment and accumulation, and it is not impossible to inherit it well and integrate the wisdom of several generations or even dozens or hundreds of generations. For example, your medical skills are not completely self-realizing, but are obtained from your master. Your master may not have been realized by himself, but he may have learned it from others. ”
Hua Tuo bowed and bowed: "What the king said is very true, my skills are indeed inherited from the sages, but I am not qualified enough and my comprehension is not thorough enough. Just like the craniotomy, although I have learned a lot from my master, these people have also treated some patients, but the success rate has not been high. ”
"Craniotomy?" Liu Xiu interrupted Hua Tuo's words: "Will you open your skull?" ”
"Yes, I'll have a craniotomy." Hua Tuo raised his fist, covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "A wind disease like Mrs. Tai can be treated with a craniotomy." It's just that the risk of craniotomy is very high, especially for the patient's physique. If the patient is in good health, the probability of success is greater, and for a person with a weak body like Mrs. Tai, the probability of success is very low. ”
Liu Xiu frowned slightly: "What if it's someone in his thirties?" ”
"That's a lot more likely to be successful." Hua Tuo then smiled again: "The difficulty of craniotomy is that the craniotomy, although the human skull is hard, the brain inside is very fragile, once the action is too large, it is likely to hurt the brain." The second difficulty lies in the removal of the lesion, whether the necrotic site can be accurately found and removed, which is the key to the success of the operation, and the third difficulty lies in the postoperative care, many patients have successfully operated on the disease, but finally died of high fever and other symptoms, which is a pity. However, after visiting the medical school of Jingzhou University today, I found that the conditions here are good, there are excellent tools, the difficulty of craniotomy is greatly reduced, and there is wine and disinfection, which helps to reduce symptoms such as high fever after surgery. With the help of these conditions, I believe that as long as the cause is found and the symptoms are treated, the probability of success is at least half. ”
"Half is not a lot." Liu Xiu laughed: "Yuanhua, I won't tell you, I know that there are several wind disease patients, and they and their families have been dragged down a lot. If Yuanhua is willing to help them solve their pain, I am willing to provide all the conditions you need, please show your skills. ”
Hua Tuo forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and bowed down to give a salute: "The doctor's wish is to solve the pain of the people in the world, and to get the help of the king, dare to disobey his fate?" ”
