Chapter 183(1/2)
180. The "black octopus" lingering on the brain
The internal and external disputes have been around since ancient times, but they are not serious at St. Mary's Hospital. At least Masimov, who is extremely Catholic, does not believe that internal medicine is a reckless person.
Old-school internal medicine therapy has been with Europe for thousands of years, and is stable and reliable. Emerging internal medicine technology keeps up with the development of science and technology. Although there are certain dangers, it can sometimes give people a considerable surprise.
Regardless of the result, with the blessing of faith, he believed that those internal medicine doctors were considering the patients and the treatment plans they used also had a certain theoretical and practical basis.
On the contrary, the drilling technique suggested by Kawei is more biased towards barbarians.
Although European surgery can also be used, because this is the case in Hippocrates' medicine, the actual operation is more often seen in the romantic and bold France and the stubborn Prussia. The conservative Austria has always been skull-bone.
Drilling is skeptical and cautious.
"I also want to use surgical methods to treat this disease of the evil spirit in the skull." Even if Masimov is more willing to support Kavi, he must compromise with reality. "The headache is treated by internal medicine doctors, and we have no right to interfere."
"But medical treatment has not achieved the desired effect."
Kawei looked at the medical record book that was much thicker than ordinary medical records, and he couldn't help but questioned: "Bleeding, bacon slices, and hammer shock were not effective, and they also used chemical battery electrical stimulation treatment, but there was no effect." [1
】
"The patient's headache is really too serious."
"The problem is not here," Kavey explained, "that's because there is a problem with the diagnosis. What the hell is 'intracranial neuralgia'???" [2]
"It's Dr. Ednelson's judgment." Masimov trusted the director of internal medicine very much.
"Is this one in the headache?" Kawei could still tolerate those unreliable treatments, but he couldn't stand the diagnosis of such an obvious charlatan. "I remember that the internal medicine doctor has already made it clear about headaches.
Classification, there is no such thing as "evil spirits in the skull"."【3】
Masimov deals with anatomy all day long, and his view of medicine is definitely more materialistic.
He also felt that the "evil theory" that was more in line with the medieval era is not in line with the current medical research theory, but firm belief is like the backdoor of the Internet, and his own set of rhetoric is explained: "In today's era when internal and surgical sciences are booming,
We should face the ancient mysticism with an open and inclusive attitude.”
A brief summary: What if it is true?
Kawei didn't expect that in the middle and late 19th century, he could still see the popularity of mysticism. But if it were combined with the current situation in China before traveling through time, there seemed to be nothing unexpected. People must believe in something, not believe in science or not completely.
Scientific people will naturally believe in some ghosts and gods.
"I have a spiritual and evil spirit removal event in my medical history?" It was rare to come, but Kawei was interested. [4]
"It should be arranged already." Masimov looked at the time, "This is a special healing conference combining modern medicine and divine magic. The sermon is presided over by the Countess, and Ed on the other side
Director Nelson played the role of implementing hypnosis, which must be more solemn than ordinary sieges." [5]
"Countess? Which Earl? I have met a lot of Earls recently."
"It's the Countess of Morasso."
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Kawei met her in an empty ward in the internal medicine department.
Marianna was wrapped in a black hooded robe, holding a candle holder in her hand, with a dyed red candle on it. She was surrounded by assistants, holding a water bottle full of water and a small box, tight
Follow her.
Knowing the other party's identity, Kawei can no longer watch it with a teasing attitude. After all, he is the queen's sister and must give the most basic respect: "Good evening, Countess."
"Doctor Kavey?" Before Mariana recognized him, she replied first, but instead said that she was also wearing a black robe. "Madam, it's Dr. Kavey, you've seen it at the wedding banquet before.
”
"Oh, yes, yes, I have an impression. It's the young surgeon who was disliked by Buster." Mariana had an impression of Kavey, "Is Dr. Kavey a doctor from the Municipal General Hospital? Why did he come here?
”
"Teacher Masimov asked me to see a patient." Kavey glanced around the ward, "It should be the protagonist of the next siege."
"Oh? It turns out that the consultation doctor Masimov is thinking about is you." Mariana smiled and looked at him, "But this time I'm afraid you may not be useful. The evil spirit in her skull is really powerful. Lian Ed
Director Nelson has no choice but to do anything about it. Nora”
"yes."
Nora opened the box and the water bottle and handed it to Mariana.
She put down the candle in her hand, took the water bottle first, put it on the table, and silently recited: [The Spirit of Water, driven by me]
Take the small box, put it next to the water bottle, and stick it into it with your fingers, and continue to recite silently: [Let the blessings come on this salt]
After saying the so-called spell, she carefully poured the salt into the water bottle, stirred it slowly, and then came to a corner, dipped it in a clockwise direction on the ward.
"This is."
"Decorate a simple barrier." Nora's finger was raised in front of her mouth, and made a silence move, explaining gently, "Before subduing spirits and exorcising evil spirits, you need to create a sacred spiritual space first. If it is the Countess himself
A person doesn’t need to be that complicated, he just needs to meditate for a moment. But now there are many people present and need to use some external force.”
In fact, whether in the East or the West, feudal superstitions are similar things. Kawei changed his mindset in time and regarded these as local customs.
[I summon the earth energy!!!]
Mariana put down the water bottle, took out a short stick similar to a magic wand from the debris bag on the table, and drew a circle along the wall of the ward: [Energy must form a circle of defense, protect this space, and ensure isolation from the outside world.
!]
"Nora, go and invite the patients, their families, and Dr. Ed Nelson."
"yes."
Although the content is very second-class, Mariana is very serious and looks serious. After completing the initial barrier construction, she asked Kavey to sit down and waited for the staff needed for the Shuicheng to be in place, and then she got out of the bag of miscellaneous bags.
Take out the four-color candles and arrange them in the southeast, west, northwest and north corners of the ward.
At this time, Kawei finally met the patient and Director Ed Nelson who was with the patient.
Ed Nelson is in his 50s and is a doctor of medicine who graduated from the School of Medicine of the University of Vienna. He has been practicing medicine here for 30 years and is also one of the candidates for this competition for the chief physician of the internal medicine department of the Military Medical Department.
In fact, judging from age, resume and medical experience, he can afford the word "total". However, because theology is separated from medicine, although Aidingson believes in Catholicism, he does not believe in the theology's treatment methods, so he still knows
Ed Nelson, who chose theology, was always a little repulsive.
And judging from the voting, Ed Nelson has only a 5% approval rating, which is indeed not very popular.
Ed Nelson saw the difference between Kavi at first glance. He was wearing a black formal suit, with a top hat and a cane in his hand, and his doctor-like look out of place here: "Who are you? The doctor here? Why didn't I see you
By you?"
"Teacher Ednelson, I'm Kavey. We've seen it at the military doctor."
"See. Oh, yes, I did."
Kawei did see him at the military doctor, but because the other party doesn't like surgery very much, this kind of "seen" tends to be unilateral. Even if Ed Nelson really remembers Kawei's name, he can't help but have a lot of human faces.
Contrast: "You are Kavi? Are you not a surgeon? Why?"
"Mr. Masimov asked me to come."
Considering the difficulty of adopting skull drilling, Kawei tried to skip the medical records that might cause controversy, changed his disdain for theology in the office just now, and said with a smile, "The Countess personally presided over the spirit and exorcising evil spirits,
I must come and open my eyes.”
"Yes, it's not bad for young people to learn more."
Ed Nelson always felt that a young man like Kavi was a difficult thorn. Unexpectedly, he was so humble after meeting him, and he nodded to his speech: "By the way, since it's for it."
The patient came, so he must have seen the medical record, right?"
“See it.”
"How do you think?"
"Well, did Mr. Ednelson ask about diagnosis or treatment?"
Ed Nelson smiled: "You can talk about it, say whatever you want."
Kawei was calm on the surface, but his heart had already become a twist. If he really wanted to say whatever he wanted, he wouldn't be so cautious.
After thinking for a while, Kawei decided to stabilize the other party first: "From the diagnostic point of view, I agree with the teacher's judgment of 'neurotic headache'."
"Oh?" Ed Nelson was a little surprised. "Do you think this is a neurologic headache caused by the evil spirits in the skull?"
"Before I saw the evil spirit with my own eyes, I can only say that the cause of the disease is unknown for the time being. If you have to go into it in depth, you can only guess." Kavey got a sloppy eye, "After all, there are many causes of neurological headaches that can cause many diseases.
, Evil spirits are just one of them."
"It is rare to think so meticulously in surgery." Ed Nelson nodded with satisfaction, "Intracranial evil spirits are an important cause of neurologic headaches, so I came with me today, and I want to see what the final result will be to exorcise evil."
"Hopefully it will have the desired effect."
"It's certainly possible."
Kawei didn't know where his confidence came from. It was a trick of deceiving spirits and exorcising evil spirits. In the end, the patient was still suffering. Thinking of this, his eyes moved away from Ednelson and looked carefully at the one who had just sat down.
patient.
Mrs. Santini, 38 years old, also has breast cancer, but she looks more haggard than the French Countess in her forties.
Judging from the physical function, the patient has not reached the level of bad liquid, but her body is obviously thinner than others. In addition, she has a splint tied with her left hand and her limbs have no strength. She needs her own man to support her to be ordinary
Walk like a human.
