Chapter 154

A white doctor came out of it and said to Wang Wenwu: "Sir, your two daughters are very healthy, I tried my best to finish the operation in ten minutes, I did everything I could, and God will leave the rest!" ”

This white man surprised Wang Wenwu, who can speak Chinese, you must know that most foreigners in China do not know Chinese, even if they make money in China.

Wang Wenwu said: "I know, no matter what, thank you!" ”

"The other thing I want to say is that it is definitely better for you to ask your wife to come to the hospital to give birth than for you to deliver the midwife outside, at least I can guarantee that your child will not die of umbilical wind. I've learned that the midwives in the neighborhood don't know how to sterilize, how to cut the umbilical cord, or simply put the baby in a dirty place, making the umbilical cord breach susceptible to tetanus bacilli infection, causing umbilical cord disease. ”

When Wang Wenwu heard the doctor's words, all he thought in his head was, did the person in front of him really have surgery in ten minutes? Doesn't it take an hour or two to perform surgery in Wang Wenwu's images!

Wang Wenwu asked curiously: "Have you always operated so fast?" ”

The white doctor shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if you know, someone once said that the mortality rate of many surgeries is directly proportional to the duration of the operation." ”

Wang Wenwu nodded and said, "I've heard it, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

"Then do you know Napoleon's surgeon Dominique 슷 Jean Larray?"

Seeing Wang Wenwu shaking his head, the white doctor said: "In that era, Dominica proposed to set up medical tents near the front line to make treatment more efficient. At the same time, Dominica also gave birth to the first military rescue team, which was a horse-drawn cart-converted rapid ambulance. He is recognized as the first modern military doctor, but I would say that he has an amazing record of surgery. He allegedly performed 200 amputations in twenty-four hours — an average of one every seven minutes. But don't think it's fast, the nineteenth-century Dr. Robert could remove an arm in 28 seconds and a leg in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. _o_m ”

Wang Wenwu really didn't know that it only took 28 seconds to remove a person's arm, and this person was still a doctor.

Wang Wenwu came back to his senses, thanked the white doctor, and ran to the second-class ward to visit Brother Pan.

In addition to thinking about his brother in the ward, the rickshaw driver went back to report the news, and wanted to come to Huaihua, Chunni, and Zhang Muen were all on their way here. After all, so many doctors said that Brother Pan couldn't survive, and they must have come to congratulate him.

Brother Pan himself was dazed, and when Brother Pan saw Wang Wenwu coming in, he said happily: "Master, the doctor said that I gave my sister an anesthetic, and I haven't woken up yet, and I will be fine after a while." ”

Wang Wenwu saw that he was happy that his brother had survived, so he didn't say anything about the postoperative infection.

Wang Wenwu walked next to the baby and looked at the pink and tender villain. What I thought of was that my sister gave birth to two girls, and the rest of my life would definitely be difficult. But when he saw that Wang Wenwu was laughing and teasing the child, his heart went back again.

Huaihua took Zhao Sun's to the ward, and when she entered the door, she saw that Brother Pan was still asleep, and said to Wang Wenwu: "Master, I'll bring some food from home." You haven't eaten in a long time, so let's eat something to pad your stomach first! Let's guard this place first! ”

It happened that Wang Wenwu's stomach was a little hungry, so he ate something to pad his stomach, and Huaihua arranged for a rickshaw driver to order something to eat and send it over.

Huaihua said to Wang Wenwu: "Brother Pan is really a blessed person, this time it is really dangerous." ”

But Wang Wenwu shook his head and said: "Now that I have come down from the operating table, I can only say that I have survived half of my life, and the remaining half depends on whether her wound will be infected." ”

Hearing Wang Wu say this, Huaihua didn't know what to say. After all, Western medicine has only come out in the past few years. Sophora is not clear about Western medicine.

But Wang Wenwu did know that the status of Western surgeons was very low. Barber-turned-surgeons struggle to escape their status as craftsmen, and their work often involves confronting suppurated, decaying tissue, which means heart-rending screams, infections and deaths, and treatment results that are not as effective as they should.

In the nineteenth century, surgery was not included in the orthodox medical service, but was more of a popular entertainment.

Surgery was born out of the barber, and it was rough and inexpensive, and it was earned by performing in the theater. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Admission fee.

This setting may seem outrageous to modern people, but it also had certain advantages at the time. Because compared to sawing off a leg directly, using physical anesthesia to make people unconscious and then sawing off a leg is obviously more eye-catching to the audience.

If it is accompanied by a well-designed commentary, it can also add a lot of substitution.

At that time, the surgical gowns were not like doctors, but more like pig butchers, and it is said that they were often not cleaned. It is documented that the surgical gowns worn by surgeons at the time were "stiff and smelling of pus and blood," and "the stiffer the bloody coat, the more proud the busy surgeons became."

Not only the surgical gowns, but also the hands and surgical instruments of the surgeons were rarely cleaned, the bandages were often reused, the people who visited the operation filled the entire staircase, and more than 100 students could observe the operation at one time, coughing and whispering. A patient may survive a successful operation, but he or she may die of an infection.

The mortality rate of cesarean section is at the forefront of surgery under the haze of postoperative infection, so Wang Wenwu has always shown little confidence in his brother's survival.

Traditional Chinese medicine anti-inflammatory is also eaten, but the effect has not been great, and the wound is still not surprisingly inflamed. The doctor was helpless about this, and even though the wound was removed from time to time, there was still no sign of improvement.

At the request of Brother Pan, he returned to the courtyard to take care of him.

In the end, Brother Pan still did not create a miracle, and the wound of the operation has not improved, but has severe suppuration, high fever, and died after struggling at home for a month.

After Brother Pan died, Brother Xiang had to take care of Brother Pan's two children, but Wang Wenwu invited two wet nurses to take care of his two motherless children early, because Brother Xiang himself was a half-old child, how could he take a baby who had just reached the age of one month. But the younger brother still never allows the nurse to take the child out of his sight.

Sometimes Chunni would complain to Wang Wenwu: "That little girl really looks at the two children to death." I'm just troubled by looking at it! ”

Wang Wenwu said: "How old are you! What else do you have to worry about her! ”

"No, it makes me feel like I'm going to steal a child! I don't even feel comfortable watching it! Won't you tell me about her? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll say that. When I find an opportunity, I will educate her well! ”

I don't believe that. You said you've been perfunctory to me a few times! ”。
