Chapter 137 Medical Development
After the war, Richard went to the field hospital.
Since the beginning of the war, the level of treatment for trauma in the hospital led by Adrian has developed rapidly.
First of all, anatomical knowledge, more than a month of counterinsurgency war, there was no shortage of corpses in field hospitals.
One or two corpses can be dissected every day, and both doctors and nurses have a wealth of experience in dissection.
In his previous life, Richard listened to a high school classmate who studied medicine and said that he had only practiced anatomy a few times in his seven years of studying medicine.
Now when it comes to understanding anatomy, the surgeons in Haaland's territory are much better than the previous college students.
Although some of these doctors were illiterate, the more autopsies were performed, and their understanding of body organs was more profound.
After the battle, Richard used a bloody identification spell, and the hospital opened a blood transfusion experiment, successfully curing two wounded soldiers who had lost too much blood.
In addition, after the glass kiln was put into production, the number of medical appliances also increased.
Before the war began, the territorial glaziers had blown hollow glass tubes with chopsticks.
It can manufacture glass hollow tubes, mercury thermometers, and mercury sphygmomanometers.
After receiving the call-up order, Richard described the two medical paraphernalia in detail, and then asked the craftsmen in the territory to find a way to make some.
It is not difficult to learn to blow glass products and make thermometers and blood pressure monitors.
The principle of a thermometer is to measure body temperature by measuring the expansion or contraction of a column of mercury in response to a change in temperature.
A blood pressure monitor measures blood pressure by wrapping a cuff around the arm, then injecting gas into the cuff with an air pressure pump, gradually increasing the air pressure, compressing the cuff into the arm, and finally measuring the pressure of blood flow with mercury.
Before making both instruments, Richard had done barometric pressure tests and found that the atmospheric pressure of the Dawn Continent was slightly larger than that of the Earth, about 1.2 times that of the Earth.
By converting the air pressure, it is easy to mark the scale and make the original thermometer and blood pressure monitor.
During this time, the doctors in the field hospital have a relatively clear understanding of body temperature and blood pressure.
Purely talking about surgical knowledge, it is slightly better than the barefoot doctors in the countryside in the previous life.
After all, he has seen a lot of things, dissected more than a hundred corpses, and treated hundreds of wounded people.
Anesthesia, sterility, and blood transfusion, the Haaland Territory has completed the three basic conditions of surgery.
With these three foundations, coupled with the development of anatomy, the surgical level of the hospital has been greatly improved.
Although the effect of magic healing is immediate, the treatment of injuries and illnesses is very restrictive.
In particular, for injured patients with bleeding from internal organs, although magic healing can stop the bleeding, the blood in the internal organs cannot be discharged, and it is very troublesome to absorb it by the human body.
It is possible to cooperate with surgery after surgery.
Magic and science make the healing effect extraordinary.
For some organic lesions, even magic treatment is not possible, but surgery can remove the diseased organs.
Richard observed that without his own help, Adrian took the doctors to perform three major surgeries.
A gunshot stab wound caused bleeding from the liver in the abdomen, a knife wound to the stomach that opened and the intestines ruptured, and a lung wounded by an arrow.
According to Richard's estimate, these three surgeries could not be taken by the county hospital in the previous life, and to treat this serious trauma, they had to go to the tertiary hospital in the city, and the chance of survival was not high, estimated to be less than half.
However, the field hospital led by Adrian, relying on the help of magical healing techniques and lack of medicines, successfully performed three surgeries, and all three wounded soldiers survived.
This shows the effectiveness of magic healing combined with surgery.
With the treatment of field hospitals, the survival rate of the seriously wounded has increased considerably.
As long as these seriously wounded are healed, they are excellent soldiers, and the surgical level of the hospital has improved, which is also a positive cycle for the development of the territory.
In addition to surgery, the hospital has also accumulated a lot of experience in the treatment of bone injuries.
The battlefield is indispensable, and every battle has soldiers who are injured by falls.
By treating these patients, doctors basically use a little bone grafting technique, and if combined with magic healing, the effect is very outstanding.
Because of the help of surgery, the level of doctors was directly raised to the twentieth century.
The development of internal medicine has been very slow.
Only by accumulating experience, the use of herbs to treat some simple diseases.
Restricted by the industrial level and scientific cognition, there is no hope for modern internal medicine.
Traditional internal medicine, because the world has great restrictions on the dissemination of knowledge, and the doctors in Haaland's territory have not accumulated much experience, and they have not been able to develop an empirical science similar to Chinese medicine in a short period of time.
However, the hospital led by Adrian should have the most advanced system in the world.
Every patient who enters the hospital has a copy of their own medical record.
Through the summary of cases, a lot of medical experience can be obtained.
After spending a few days in the field hospital and cooperating with doctors to treat many wounded soldiers, Richard was quite relieved in the process.
The greatest romance of men is to change a world.
Although Richard did not have the power to change the Dawn plane, he still left footprints in this world, making this world a little better.
After returning from the field hospital, Richard decided to invest more in medicine and accelerate the development of medicine.
After returning to the territory, he plans to have Sophia use a crystal ball to test all the doctors and nurses to see if anyone has a talent for magic.
In addition, the backbone officers who have been in the territory for three years, and the grassroots bureaucrats, are all within the scope of talent testing.
Richard was ready to spread meditation on a larger scale, like pranayama.
Not long after the end of the war, the merits of the last battle were also issued.
Richard killed the commander of the sixth-order cavalry, rewarded one great merit, killed the boiling blood convert, the rebel professional, and rewarded a total of nine medium merits, and jointly eliminated the rebel cavalry with Baron de Young, the two shared a great merit, and Richard received five medium merits.
Counting the one medium merit and two minor merit that he just entered Canyon County.
Four major merits, three medium merits, and eight minor merits were obtained by destroying Breena County.
In the entire counterinsurgency war, Richard won six major merits and nine medium merits, and it was not far from the next fiefdom.
In addition to the battle merits, the biggest gain of Haaland's territory in this battle was the population of 18,000.
With a population of 18,000, the territory will lead to faster development and a more solid foundation.
Counting these 18,000 people, the population of the territory exceeded 43,000.
With a population of 43,000, among the dozen or so hereditary barons in Heihe County, it is already second to none, and when it is enlarged to the entire Geda Province, a barony with a population of 40,000 is very rare.
Even the wealthy Baron Franklin was assigned a group of exiles, and the population of the territory was just 38,000.
