Chapter 163
160. The operation begins
On May 5, the surgical theater of the Academy of Surgery welcomed another operation as usual.
The complexity of the operation is not top-notch. From the surgical area alone, this may only be considered as a large epidermal tumor resection. However, due to the particularity of the surgical object and the superb skills of the main surgery and assistant, more than 200 viewing seats in the theater are packed.
In fact, the surgical theater of the Academy of Surgery is often full on weekdays. It is King Franz who really makes this surgery a hit.
Early in the morning, many guards came one after another in the academy of Surgery, and the head of the palace guard took over the safety guarantee work in the academy.
At 10 a.m., the gate of the Academy of Surgery was blocked, and only went out and did not enter except for specific personnel. At the same time, the theater where the surgery was located was subject to the strictest review system. In addition to holding tickets, you also need to present a certificate of the Academy of Surgery members or a surgical practice certificate.
Most viewers have badges given by the college. If there is no physical evidence, someone can prove that they are real medical practitioners.
At 12 noon, the royal horse carriage entered the Academy of Surgery. In addition to the regular palace guards, the entourage also had many great figures who had nothing to do with medicine. French ambassador to Austria Edward Druen Delejuis, the Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire Earl Richard Berkreddy, and the Imperial Foreign Minister Viscount Carl Ludwig von Brook.
In addition, Giustina also invited Hans Schriarty, the best portrait painter in Vienna, to hope that he could record the soul of the entire operation on the drawing paper with the simplest brushstrokes.
Although Franz has been telling everyone not to be restrained, facing the vast military uniform guards entering the theater, the surgeons not to mention the noise, and even whispering has become a major event that needs to be treated with caution.
But in fact, the four big names had no interest in these doctors present.
What they really care about is the upcoming war, and surgery is a pastime tool, and it also maintains the relationship between the two countries. Although this relationship is loose and subtle, it shows that Fa'ao is actively seeking conversation and communication.
"Mr. Edward, this is the highest-standard surgical performance this year," Foreign Minister Carl said with a smile, "I chose the most standard and professional surgical theater in Vienna."
"I didn't expect that Dean Watman would preside over the Countess's surgery." Edward sighed, "I thought the surgery would be performed in the embassy, but I didn't expect that I was moved here."
"This is what the countess means."
"Yeah, I know"
Although Edward was good at diplomatic rhetoric and happy to see the peaceful and beautiful relationship between the people of Fa'ao, he always felt strange when he thought about the content of the operation to be watched: "I have to say that the Countess's style of conduct has always been full of romanticism."
"I sincerely wish the Countess can get rid of the illness."
Compared to the red-faced Minister Carl, Prime Minister Richard plays a black face: "Don't worry, Austrian surgery is no worse than France, and Baron Watman is also a well-known figure in the European surgical field."
"I am very confident in Dean Watman," Edward said, "Besides, I feel relieved that Dr. Kavey Hines is also an assistant."
"Oh? Mr. Edward knows Carvey too?" This time it was Franz who spoke.
Edward smiled and replied, "The newspaper often publishes his news. Even if he hasn't been to the scene, he can recognize his abilities through those words. This is also an important reason why I am willing to come here. If possible, I hope to see Dr. Kavey's cesarean section with my own eyes."
"I remember that there have been several successful cases of cesarean section."
Edward was a little amused and laughed: "It's not that I don't want to see it, it's really hard to buy tickets. You may not know if you don't see the surgery. Any time Dr. Kavey's surgery is always priced. Moreover, there are no doctors in my entourage who can understand the surgery, which is a pity."
As long as one party has needs, there are conditions for conversation. Even if this demand is not important, it is enough to become an introduction to the topic.
"I have Dr. Altinson today, and the explanation is not a problem."
Franz moved out another space and invited Eddingson beside him. Edward was not polite, and asked a very sharp question as soon as he came up: "Dr. Eddingson, although the Vienna Daily has been publishing news about cesarean section, I still doubt its accuracy."
"Hmm? Accuracy?"
"Isn't the media like this?"
Only then did Altinson realize: "The report on the operation is relatively accurate. After all, the public performances of the surgical theater arena, and there is nothing wrong with mistakes and partiality, but it is impossible for the patient to be faked for his life and death."
Edward was a little surprised.
He believed that Kavi's strength could happen to complete a cesarean section, but it would be a bit magical if the following few were also successful. So he always thought that the Vienna Daily was deliberately posing him as a surgical genius to increase the sales of newspapers.
In fact, Vienna Daily's sales did increase by nearly 30% last month.
"I remember he had a cesarean section of Batai"
"No, it's Jiutai."
"Does Jiutai?" Edward sighed: "All the patients who operated Jiutai survived?"
"Everyone is safe in mother and son." Aidinson said calmly, "and neither of them has the uterus removed."
"This is incredible. If it is true, Dr. Kavey is equivalent to creating history!" Edward looked excitedly at the operating bed in the surgical area. "The probability of survival of cesarean section in France is less than 30%. Those surgeons who claim to be super skilled are too radical."
Just a few simple conversations, the four people here thought of four completely different aspects.
All Aidinson thought of was the surgical level.
He was respectful and jealous of Kavey, who might account for a larger proportion, but his family background would never allow him to lie: "Doctor Kavey's cesarean section skills do surpass all contemporary surgeons."
Foreign Minister Carl thought more about the exchange conditions between countries: "Dr. Kawi is still young, and if you have the chance, you can go to France for a tour operation."
Prime Minister Richard, who sang the black face, saw France, which was increasingly unbalanced under liberalism and romanticism: "Your country's surgeons really need to take care of it. I heard that some surgeons have long abandoned their mission of saving lives and have completely promoted the operation into the entertainment industry."
What Franz, who was silent, saw was the foundation of a country: population.
France has been a European country with a large population since the beginning of the 19th century, but its population growth is extremely weak. [1]
Compared with Austria's population growth, France can only describe it as a stool speed. Since the population of the two countries was basically the same as 29 million in 1818. After 50 years, Austria has now exceeded 3 million.
In the eyes of outsiders, France won the French-Austrian War and seemed to regain the initiative of Europe. But in fact, Franz, who has always cared about internal affairs, is very clear about the importance of population growth rate. As long as he is given a few more years, his national strength will definitely be able to return to the level before the French-Austrian War.
However, the growth rate of this national strength is not large. In fact, the population growth in Prussia next door is even more rapid. Judging from the population growth alone, the anti-French alliance seemed to be about to become an anti-Popular alliance.
"A safe cesarean section does have extremely strong social significance."
Franz praised Kavi naturally: "As long as this surgery can be promoted, I am confident that Austria's birth population can double as much."
Edward felt that Emperor Ao was joking, but to be fair, the 100% successful cesarean section did bring him a great sense of security. If he came from a woman's perspective, this feeling might become more profound.
Soon, a rough outline of the plan formed in his mind: "After today's surgery is successful, I hope to have a look at Dr. Kavey's cesarean section."
"No problem, we will make arrangements for time."
At 12:50, Giustina was sitting in a wheelchair wearing a white hospital gown and was pushed into the venue by two nurses.
She seemed to have already seen the operation, and this morning she specially put on heavy makeup and sprayed her favorite perfume. If Watman hadn't repeatedly emphasized that patients with surgery could only wear hospital gowns, she would have worn the dress she had seen Franz and Elizabeth that day.
Looking at her husband who was silently encouraging her, Giustina slowly walked onto the operating table.
The operation is about to begin.
According to convention, 90% of aristocratic patients will set the operating room in their own bedroom or study, and assistants participating in the operation will be strictly selected. Especially for surgery in private locations, there may be special requirements for the gender of the assistant.
It's just spending more money, and it doesn't matter to them a few hundred kroners.
But Giustina did the opposite, which was shocking.
Kawei didn't know why the countess, the daughter of a famous general, offered to send her surgery to the theater for people to watch, especially the surgery was an extremely private and even extremely embarrassing breast cancer removal.
Her husband Kamiy actually agreed with this approach and naturally found Watman to get the nearest VIP seat.
Although the surgical theater of the Academy of Surgery is only open to medical professionals and a very small number of specific personnel, Watman and Kawei are the ones who are in charge of the surgery, and they are still able to remove breast cancer that cannot be relapsed, and there will never be any vacant spaces in the theater.
In fact, those who dare to perform surgery in the Academy of Surgery are all powerful doctors. Their surgery always attracts young doctors and other colleagues. With the cheap price, it is difficult to have an empty scene.
Is it so exciting to be looked at by more than 200 pairs of eyes?
Is this the romance of the French?
Too weird
"The Countess must have her own considerations. Her surgery is no longer just her own."
Watman, who was standing by, picked up the surgical process diagrams that he studied these days and Kawei, and confirmed several more important details: "Select a fusiform incision, remove the central Ru head and surrounding skin, remove the onset breast tissue and muscles, and then explore the underarm lymph nodes. Are you sure you want to cut the skin to see the lymph nodes?"
"Of course," said Kavi, "it's not bad."
Now that the cause of tumors is still in the changes in body fluids, it is difficult for Watman to understand the purpose of Kawei's exploration of lymph. Because he still cannot completely believe Kawei's cytological explanation of tumors, he unconsciously skipped the thinking process of "tumor-tumor cells-tumor cell shedding and metastasis-metastasis pathway" in his brain.
"I said before that tumors will have lymph node metastasis, and a German doctor has observed this." [2]
"That report is still a bit one-sided." Watman shook his head, "It is really hard to convince everyone by simply observing the swelling of lymph nodes into tumor metastasis."
"So I did an experiment. I made the gao pill tumor tissue that was removed from the patient into a suspension liquid and put them under the skin of the voles." Kawei used the most basic xenogeneic tumor transplantation method. "If tumors grow under the skin of the voles, it should prove my point of view."
Watman had heard of this experiment before, and could only sigh that he could no longer keep up with the young people's ideas when he was old: "Prove that tumors were produced after cell alienation?"
"Yes, as long as you enter the cellular level, you can overturn the original theory of bodily fluids."
Overturn and overturn
In just over two months, Watman watched him overturn many conclusions.
The cesarean section surgery was changed with one person, and the success rate of cesarean section in Vienna was improved; the tone of appendicitis was successfully set and the method of finding appendix was changed; the strategy of coping with major bleeding was changed, and the difficulty of treating patients with major bleeding was greatly reduced.
Is it finally the turn of tumor theory based on the four-liquid theory?
It is strange to say that compared to the serious reports published in medical journals by the Germans, Watman believed in Kawi more. Although he had no evidence now, the experiment had just begun, and he was more like an ignorant young man who was lying and talking nonsense.
Every word that can be said makes Watman believe that this is the truth.
"Dean, Teacher Kavi, the time is almost over." Damirgaon was fortunate to become the second aid today. "The patients have already been on the operating table and the audience has been there."
"Then let's go." Watman asked his assistant to get his surgical instrument box, looked at Kawei who was fiddling with his equipment, and asked, "I'm very curious. There are so many lymph nodes in the body, why are you only focusing on your armpits?"
Focusing on the underarms actually has nothing to do with Kawei. It is the result of the years of modern medicine development and repeated summarization of experience.
"The observation is also needed elsewhere, but lymph node observation is an invasive operation, and it is quite difficult to choose." Kawei took out the real "protagonist" from the box, "so in order to determine whether the lymph nodes have metastases, I will use it in the surgery."
"It?" Watman looked at the blue vial in Carvey's hand. "What's the use of it?"
