Chapter 49 Specimens of Liver Casting

At 22 o'clock in the evening, in the anatomy classroom of the health school.

Written on the wall is a slogan: "Without anatomy, there is no surgery." --En Gs"

Under the dim electric light, Li Baotian and Chen Qi were cleaning a male corpse that had just been dead for less than five hours in the cleaning pool.

The corpse's head had bloomed and could not be used, but the other organs and tissues were intact.

To make a human specimen, you first need to clean the body inside and out, up and down, and then remove the body hair from the body.

At this time, the corpse was already stiff, as straight as wood, and it was cold to the touch, which brought difficulty to the cleaning work.

Teacher Li took a day's class during the day, and after working for a long time after class, he was so tired that he couldn't stand up straight, so he could only hold his waist with one hand and knock his back a few times with the other.

Chen Qi took a look at it and hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, you go and rest, I can do it alone here." ”

"Okay then, I'll just sit next to me for a while, and call me if you can't figure it out."

Li Baotian stood up and twisted his waist, "I'll go pour a glass of water first." ”

After Mr. Li left, Chen Qi was left alone in the entire dissection room, except for the sound of spraying from the faucet, only the sound of steam emitted by the coal stove outside the dissecting room when cooking things.

Don't get me wrong, it's not about cooking supper, it's about boiling dead people's bones.

The bones that the students picked up from Wangqin Mountain could not be used immediately in clinical practice, and they all needed to be disinfected.

In these years, there is no particularly good disinfection method, the simplest is to boil in a large pot to kill the bacteria, viruses and molds on the surface of the bones at full high temperature, and at the same time, a lot of bone marrow, tissue fluid, etc., are also boiled in this way to melt.

This is not a bone broth stewed at home, it can be solved in a few hours, and the bones used for human specimens will be stewed for three days and three nights.

This requires Chen Qi to go around every few hours, add water when he runs out of water, and prevent the bones from being overcooked or too soft.

After the boiled bones are taken out to dry, they should be sterilized with alcohol again.

The scene of 10 cauldrons stewing bones against the wall was absolutely spectacular, except that the smell was no longer the smell of bone broth, but the disgusting feeling of rotting earth.

Half a truckload of dead people's bones was enough for Chen Qi to keep busy for a while.

There is no way, in order to make money, Chen Qi almost contracted all these trivial jobs by himself, and it was hard enough.

In the past few days, he and Mr. Li have also had an important specimen making task, that is, to make a "liver casting specimen".

Liver surgery is difficult, and the difficulty is that the blood supply is too abundant, and a slight touch may cause heavy bleeding. But as long as you have a good grasp of the distribution of blood vessels and anatomy inside the liver, liver surgery is no longer off-limits.

However, it is still a bit difficult to preserve the complete shape of the blood vessels in the liver and show them in front of people.

At least for the third-tier small city in 1981, it was still more difficult for a health school, after all, it was only a secondary school.

Of course, the high difficulty brings high returns, and the subsidy for making a liver casting specimen is as high as 200 yuan.

When Chen Qi finished cleaning the corpse and prepared for the autopsy, Li Baotian also rested, returned to the autopsy table, and said:

"Chen Qi, this case of complete liver removal, come on, now this is a very good opportunity, you learn more and practice more on the corpse, master the anatomy of the major organs of the human body, which is equivalent to laying a solid basic skill, and it will be of great help when you do surgery in the future."

Chen Qi really wanted to say that he was a human being in two lives, and the surgical dog in his previous life had long been familiar with the anatomy of the human body.

But his current identity is just a student in a health school, if he dares to brag like this, tomorrow Mr. Li is estimated to ignore him, thinking that he is a braggart.

So Chen Qi nodded: "Teacher, look at it, I promise not to disappoint you, hehe." ”

In front of him was a corpse, without anesthesia and sterilization, Chen Qi took the scalpel and directly began to dissect the entire abdomen.

In less than half an hour, a complete liver was removed by him, without any damage, without a pause, and clean.

Li Baotian was a little incredible:

"Chen Qi, you don't give me the feeling of being a student at all, but a doctor with many years of experience in surgery, if I hadn't watched you grow up in school, I would have really wondered where you went to steal the teacher."

Chen Qi said with a smile while rinsing his liver with saline:

"So, when I aspired to be a surgeon, I felt like I was naturally doing this, and I felt it as soon as I picked up the scalpel."

Li Baotian only laughed as a student, and scolded with a smile:

"Okay, don't be complacent, liver removal is only the first step, the next liver casting is too difficult, the school has prepared a lot of perfusion materials for us, we have to test them one by one, it is estimated that it will take a long time to succeed."

Because it was difficult, the school rewarded a heavy reward of 200 yuan in one go.

In fact, liver casting specimens are not a new thing, and they can also be bought in foreign medical markets, but the price of a specimen starts at tens of millions of dollars, and it will not be bought in China.

Changhai Hospital in Hudong City, and the capital's digital hospital also have self-made liver casting specimens, but the craftsmanship is confidential, and you can buy it if you want to, and one charges a few thousand yuan, which is too cheating.

People keep it secret, but this is not a little difficult for Chen Qi from later generations.

Because he was familiar with "The Biography of Wu Mengchao" in his previous life, there is a chapter that deciphers the process of Professor Wu making liver casting specimens at that time.

To put it bluntly, the production process is very simple, and the perfusion materials can be seen everywhere, and there is no need for any self-coagulating tray powder, ethyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate and so on imported from abroad.

At that time, Professor Xu Baoyi, a veteran of surgery in Huhai City, had already mastered the liver casting technology, and when Wu Mengchao, who had just entered the industry, went to ask for advice, Old Man Xu just refused to disclose the tools and materials.

Of course, this is also understandable, what people have worked so hard to develop, you want to take it for free, there is no such reason.

Faced with the teacher's doubts and warnings, Chen Xia disagreed:

"Teacher Li, don't you underestimate people, in fact, I have quietly done relevant experiments a long time ago, but you have to keep it secret, this process can't be revealed, maybe in the future, we can rely on this to make some extra money."

"Really? I found out that you kid had a summer vacation and started running trains with a mouthful of mouths. Last time I said I could sing English songs, but what the hell did you sing? I don't understand a word. ”

"Teacher Li, can we have a good chat?"
