Chapter 25: Hell's Kitchen
"This is a method I learned from an old professor who has passed away to deal with acute respiratory foreign body blockages, and I call him the Heimlich maneuver, because the old professor's name is Heimlich." In fact, Professor Heimlich was not born at this time, this first aid method was summed up by him in 1974, this first aid method is widely used, including former US President Ronald Reagan, the famous actress Elizabeth Taylor has been first aid by this first aid method, so this first aid method is also called "the embrace of life." ”
"Is there any scientific rationale for your first aid method?"
"This method uses an impact on the abdomen - the soft tissue under the diaphragm, which is suddenly impacted, generating upward pressure and compressing the lower parts of the two lungs, thereby driving the residual air in the lungs to form a stream of airflow. This impactful, directional long-term air flow directly into the trachea can expel foreign objects such as food lumps that block the trachea and larynx, and save the person.
To put it simply, you can imagine the human lungs as a balloon, and the trachea is the air valve of the balloon, if the air valve is blocked by a foreign body, you can pinch and squeeze the balloon by hand, and the air in the balloon is moved upwards under pressure, so as to flush out the foreign body blocking the air valve, which is the physical principle of the Hai's abdominal impact method. Monet explained slowly.
Just when Monet was explaining to everyone, Nicole slowly walked over with the support of her husband, although her face was still a little pale at the moment, but the overall situation was much better, I saw her come to Monet's side, and then said gratefully: "Mr. Monet, thank you so much just now, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have ...... just now"
Before she could finish speaking, Monet hurriedly interrupted: "Mrs. Dodge, you don't have to do this, in fact, I was too reckless just now, and I rashly made some impolite gestures to you without your consent." ”
Nicole waved her hand and said, "You are a doctor, so you naturally don't need to worry so much when treating patients, and I also felt just now that all your actions are very gentlemanly." ”
Monet was a little embarrassed to say this, although he really didn't have any other thoughts just now, but his hands had indeed touched everything that should and shouldn't be touched on Nicole's body, and now in retrospect, this woman's figure is really good, the place that should be thin is really thin, the place that should be big is really big, and the place that should be warped is even more warped He almost reacted......
Just when Monet was thinking nonsense, Nicole said again: "Mr. Monet, I don't know if you have time tomorrow night?" My husband and I would like to hold a banquet to thank you! ”
To be honest, if it was just Nicole herself and she was still single, then Monet would have happily go, but the thought of facing the two of them made him a little uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Dodge, you are too polite, this is just a gesture!" ”
At this time, Mr. Dodge said on the side: "Mr. Monet, please give us a chance to express our gratitude, otherwise we will be very upset!" ”
Monet refused a few more times, and finally found that he couldn't push it off, so he had no choice but to nod and agree. Because Nicole was frightened just now, after inviting Monet, Mr. Dodge said goodbye to Mann and took her home to rest.
Seeing Monet looking at the back of the Dodges and his wife leaving in a daze, Mike patted him on the shoulder and quipped, "Why haven't you died yet?" ”
"Say what? Am I that kind of person? Monet replied unhappily.
Although he said this, Monet was still a little absent-minded, and felt a little confused and annoyed, so he also said goodbye and left, but on his way home, he suddenly saw the silhouette of a person on the side of the road a little familiar, so he asked the taxi driver to drive slowly. (Note 1)
When he got closer and saw it clearly, Monet was suddenly surprised, because he was surprised to find that this familiar person with a silhouette was actually Jack, the Jack who should have frozen to death, although now his hairstyle, temperament and clothes are different from those on the Titanic, but Monet's appearance of Xiao Li Zi is still recognized at a glance, because this is his idol! (Referring to him in harvesting blonde supermodels...... )
Originally, Monet wanted to go over and ask Jack how he survived, but unfortunately at this time Jack had already boarded a taxi, so Monet hurriedly instructed the driver: "Keep up with the car in front!" ”
As a result, I didn't expect Jack's car to go to the Brillings nightclub in "Hell's Kitchen".
The so-called "Hell's Kitchen", in fact, its official name is Clinton, covering almost the entire Midwest side of Manhattan, south to 34th Street, north to 58th Street, east to Eighth Avenue, west to the Manhattan River, in today's view, this area is adjacent to Central Park and Columbus Circle in the north, Times Square and Broadway in the east, the geographical location is very advantageous.
But in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was the most famous slum and gang gathering place in New York, and the police were afraid to come there in normal times.
Even the name "Hell's Kitchen" came from a police officer. It is said that a rookie police officer who witnessed a riot here exclaimed, "This is hell!" The old policeman beside him corrected: "This is even more terrible than hell, it is the kitchen of hell!" ”
Brillins Nightclub is a famous pastime in Hell's Kitchen, where not only beautiful women, but also food, wine, gambling, and everything else that makes people happy.
The site of the Brillins nightclub was supposed to be a large warehouse, but after the Ground Rats took over the place, they simply remodeled the warehouse to make it look like it is now divided into upper and lower sides, with a pool garden at the back.
The warehouse, ah, no, is a nightclub, and the main part of the first floor of the nightclub is a small theater where there are cabaret performances every night, and the show is borrowed from the Broadway theater. Of course, while these shows are borrowing, there are also some small modifications, which are basically the scale of the inner fan.
PS: In 1912, there were already tens of thousands of taxis in the United States, but the taxis at this time were all electric cars, you read that right, they were electric cars, because the function of fuel vehicles at that time was far less than now, especially in winter, and it took up to 45 minutes to start......
At this time, electric vehicles have many advantages such as no noise, no gasoline smell, no shaking, no need to shift gears, and simple driving, so history is a reincarnation, and now this electric car has begun to develop again......
