165 Ether Extraction
The Apache army stationed in Clarktown at the beginning numbered only twenty men, and now it is a standard "hundred".
More than a hundred disciplined Apache soldiers are like the town's alarm clock, signaling the arrival of a new day every morning with the sound of their training.
This is an army that gives people a strong sense of security.
However, the army is not very involved in the day-to-day affairs of Clarktown, and is only likely to be involved when there is a problem involving racial conflicts in the town.
In addition to this, their main job is to study and train, and black police officers will follow them, like students.
When he came to the town, Ma Shou first went to the barracks, the town office, and the garment factory......
Then it's time to go to public schools and hospitals.
As planned, cheap public schools attracted many poor people, and then became the main propaganda front of the Spiritual Oracle Cult, starting with the children, assimilating the townspeople.
There are now hundreds of pupils in public primary schools, and several of the teachers are shamans.
Shamanic teachers teach students knowledge, play with them, and of course teach them language, beliefs, and identity.
The shamans of the Spiritual Oracle are all students of Ma Whistle, or students of students, and Ma Whistle has always guided them to become excellent teachers even in later generations.
In his opinion, the greatest achievement of a teacher is to educate his students to be excellent teachers.
While most shamans are not up to the level of satisfying the horse whistle, they are much stronger than other educators of their time.
The children received unprecedented respect and understanding, even affection, from the shaman.
The same effect is true in public hospitals, where cured patients are undoubtedly more likely to convert than ordinary people.
However, Ma Whistle came to the public hospital in Clark Town this time to see something else.
built a two-story small building in the hospital.
"Twig, I heard that you have mastered ether anesthesia, I wonder if I have a chance to see it today?" Ma Whistle said with a smile.
"There is a patient today who needs wisdom teeth to be removed, and we are preparing." Twig said, surrounded by two other doctors, an Indian and a young white man.
As they spoke, the three of them tossed the tools in front of them upside down, in addition to the various pliers and chisels, the most conspicuous of which was undoubtedly a glass bottle.
The glass bottle is generally round in shape, with two valves and a nipple.
"This is an ether atomizer." Pointing to the glass bottle, Twig explained, "We put ether in it, have the patient hold the latch, inhale the ether gas, and then the patient goes into a coma without any pain......"
After a while, the operation began.
All were sterilized, strict, alcohol was used extensively, and the key tools needed for the operation were refreshed at high temperatures.
At the same time, the doctors were wearing white coats, masks, and hoods, all of which were naturally instructed by horse whistles.
Not only doctors, but also horse whistles as bystanders need to wear masks, hoods, and coats.
Then the three of them completed an anesthesia tooth extraction operation in front of the horse whistle.
As the tree branch described, and as Ma Whistle had predicted, the patient who had inhaled ether gas gradually fell into a coma, lying motionless on the operating table, allowing the doctor to remove his wisdom teeth.
Of course, the operation still looks crude compared to later generations.
The anesthesia alone took more than twenty minutes.
Not to mention the tooth extraction that followed, it looked more like the work of a stonemason, with hammers, pliers, and chisels all in battle, clanging.
And these are completely manpower, without any power tools, and the doctor knocks red in the face and sweats profusely.
But either way, it's a huge step forward.
If the current surgery is like a stonemason's work, then the operation before ether anesthesia is undoubtedly the work of a butcher, the common tool is a saw, the visual effect is to slaughter people, and even created cases with a mortality rate of up to 300%.
After the operation, Ma Whistle talked to the doctors, and he looked at the young white doctor: "What's your name and where are you from?" ”
"William Mayo, Grand Chief." The doctor said.
"I used to work in the UK, and the year before I came to New York to work as a pharmacist at Bellevue Hospital, and then I came here," Mayo said. ”
"Mayo?"
Hearing this surname, Ma Whistle couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
"It's probably not a very common surname," Mayo said. ”
"Indeed, it seems like the second time I've heard it." Ma Whistle said casually.
If he heard this surname in the sidelines, he probably wouldn't think much of it.
But when you hear it in the hospital, it is inevitably reminiscent of the famous Mayo Clinic in later generations.
The Mayo Clinic, or to put it more pretendically, the "Mayo Clinic", is the world's top hospital in the future, and probably not one of them.
At least in terms of earning power, this hospital really does dominate the world.
Ma Whistle knows little about medicine, but he has heard of the name of the Mayo Clinic.
Especially in the last years of his life, while lying in a hospital bed, he paid attention to all kinds of information about medicine like never before.
He had also fantasized about major breakthroughs in medicine more than once, and many legendary medical institutions were of course known to him.
So after listening to the doctor's self-introduction, he couldn't help but think.
Could it be ...... This person is the founder of the Mayo Clinic?
Or a relative of the founder?
Of course, he didn't take it to heart.
It's probably another coincidence, like Browning the gunsmith, with the same surname, the same profession, but not the same person.
What's more, the horse whistle does not have much reverence for historical celebrities.
He remembered the teachings of a wise man.
A person's destiny certainly depends on self-struggle, but it also has to consider the course of history......
As a physics teacher, Ma Whistle understands this in particular.
Geniuses such as Newton must also stand on the shoulders of predecessors such as Galileo and Kepler, develop classical mechanics with the help of existing research results, and at the same time compete with Leibniz, Hooke and other peers.
No one can transcend history, and if there is, it can only be a time-traveler like him.
Heaven does not give birth to anyone, eternity is like a long night, this kind of talk is purely a corrupt Confucian view.
This is not the case with a genius like Newton, let alone Browning and Mayo.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the Mayo doctor in front of you is the Mayo or not.
Yes or no, in this timeline, he could become the real Mayo.
Just like Browning, although it is not genuine, there is no doubt that this impostor has already made Browning's surname famous in advance.
"So you're a pharmacist?" The horse whistle asked.
"Strictly speaking, I studied chemistry, or physics—I studied with Mr. Dalton. But I'm getting more and more interested in medicine now, especially in Clarktown. Dr. Mayo said.
"John Dalton?" The horse whistle was a little surprised.
"Yes." Mayo was also a bit surprised.
In his opinion, the horse whistle should perhaps ask the question "who is Dalton".
