Elena's letter, written in Latin, is full of disappointment with her husband, regret for herself and a trace of unbreakable love [1]. Ignatz read it for a long time and finally chose to put the letter away.

, stuffed directly into the desk drawer.

The content was basically what he expected, because he was disappointed and regretful, but he couldn't change anything.

No one likes their husbands fooling around outside, and most wives can only turn a blind eye, but Alina has the strength to resist, and her decision to separate from home is also reasonable. The cracks in their marriage are not a matter of a day or two.

Well, after reading the letter, Ignatz felt much more relaxed.

What really made him uncomfortable was Nora's cesarean section.

After failing so many cases, working hard for so long, and using so many corpses, in the end it all became a dream of Kawei’s success. The feeling of depression pressing in his throat and wanting to yell but having nowhere to vent made him very uncomfortable.

.

He was a baron and the first surgeon in Austria.

Are you going to blame Kawei for taking away his position as chief surgeon?

This is obviously an excuse for a loser. Saying it will do no one any good, including himself.

What's more, Kawei's ability is already strong. Ignatz has always claimed that the relationship between them is master and apprentice, and he has been a witness to several surgeries. After getting along with him for just half a month, he regarded Kawei more as his own.

colleagues rather than assistants.

Due to his absence, the operation was delayed for two hours, which was already considered a dereliction of duty.

And he was forcibly carried to the theater lounge, and was only taken away from the position of surgeon after showing such a shameful side. This was all a helpless move by Hills, Carvey and Herman.

There was no fault in the entire handling process, and there was no malice at all. Kawei even tried to cover it up for himself, but Ignatz couldn't find any reason for his incompetent rage.

If you now brazenly say that it was Kawei who took the credit, it will not only be embarrassing, but also really smearing the title of Imperial Baron on your head, which is a shameful act that is despised by others.

Moreover, Kawei has just had a successful cesarean section and is very popular. The Department of Surgery at the Municipal General Hospital is also famous. Logically speaking, he, a gentleman, should be happy. Even if he is not happy, he should be as happy as he was when Laszlo was suffering from heart failure.

, give necessary appreciation and affirmation.

If Kawei is not to blame or cannot be blamed, then who can be blamed?

Blame Marcus for insisting that the operation must be done now, before he wakes up?

It's definitely not right. The obstetrics department has obstetrical practices. If the water breaks, there is abdominal pain, and the fetus is still in a transverse position, they are all indications for an immediate cesarean section. There is nothing to criticize.

The only one left was Nora. Could it be that Nora didn’t choose the right time and gave birth temporarily?

Ignatz smiled bitterly. In the end, the only one he could and must blame was himself. He had decided never to have surgery after drinking, but now it seemed like a casual joke.

He looked at the "Anatomy Atlas of Cesarean Section" that was closed on the table and turned to the previous page again: "Was the operation successful?"

"It should be considered a success." Kawei tried his best to compress the contents of the operation and distributed the success to everyone present. "Teacher Hills and Teacher Herman are both very skilled. Nora's physical condition is also good. I can only say that I am lucky.

not bad."

Of course, Ignatz knew that these were all polite words. Everyone knows how difficult it is to have a cesarean section: "If I could get through it by luck, I would have succeeded long ago."

"In the end, I used that tube of reagent that is still in the experimental stage." Kawei explained, "It can help the uterus contract and stop bleeding quickly. Otherwise, the only choice is to remove the uterus. If you choose to remove the uterus, the operation will still be necessary.

There are many variables and the success rate will drop a lot."

"The success rate of a cesarean section that directly removes the uterus is only about 30%. The uterus-preserving cesarean section I want to do is a rare case in the world, and there is none in Austria.

."

The frustrated Ignatz sat back in his office chair, touched the beautifully printed anatomy diagrams in the "Atlas", and sighed: "It is really a pity that I can't stand in front of the operating table with you to witness the history of Austrian surgery.

Already."

Kawei wanted to comfort him, but found that he couldn't say anything: "Why don't you talk about the operation process? The first half was done by Mr. Hills, so..."

"It's not urgent. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Ignatz suddenly interrupted him, "I want to ask something else more than this."

"What?"

"How do you usually relieve stress?"

At first, Ignatz saw that Kawei was an inexperienced child with a foundation in surgery and claimed to be his student, so he admitted him to the hospital to help him. But later he discovered that he had a deep surgical foundation and

My surgical field of vision is particularly broad, just because I haven’t gone to school.

Now it seems that the so-called experience and skills alone cannot summarize Kawei's surgical ability.

Ignaz was not afraid of how difficult the operation would be. What he was afraid of was that he could not bear the pressure and that his concentration collapsed under the pressure, so he had Mariani and Arantha. He was very curious.

Under the eyes of the audience, how did Kawei withstand the pressure when he took the position of surgeon for the first time?

In fact, the source of stress is uncertainty. It is because Ignatz is not sure that the operation will be successful, so he feels stressed.

And innovation is synonymous with uncertainty. The more innovative you are, the less you know the results of the surgery, the more uneasy you feel, and the greater the pressure.

But Kawei's words were more specific: "My father will let me have a good sleep the day before the operation. Before the operation, I like to hide and rehearse the entire process."

"There are uncertainties everywhere in the operation. Wouldn't it make you more nervous if you do this..." Ignatz didn't understand and took out another refreshing drink stored in the office from the cabinet. "I usually rely on coffee.

Especially before surgery, I can’t concentrate unless I have some energy.”

Coffee is normal. It’s very refreshing to have some when you don’t have enough sleep.【2】

"So, these all vary from person to person." Kawei looked at the wine and cocaine bottles he took out from the drawer, and advised, "Teacher, although the effect of cocaine is strong, it also has uncertain effects.

Disadvantages.”【3】

"Really? The effect of this wine is amazing!" Ignatz pushed the bottle forward: "Do you want some?"

Kawei didn’t want to touch this thing at all, and he also knew the status of raven tincture and coca wine in the minds of European people at this stage, so he could only explain:

"It's like a bottomless black whirlpool, which will pull people who are contaminated with cocaine into it one by one. The process is wonderful, but when you really get to the center of the whirlpool, there is nothing inside, only endless emptiness and the next whirlpool.

"

Ignatz was vaguely suspicious of the powerful effectiveness of coca wine, but when he thought of the various benefits it could bring, he couldn't help but put it in his mouth.

"Did you know? The British always say that a master surgeon should have three characteristics: a lion's heart, an eagle's eyes and a woman's hands." Ignatz said, "British people have always been unreliable, but they were right this time.

Coca wine can really make me grow a lion's heart, a pair of eagle eyes and a pair of dexterous women's hands." [4]

"But it disappeared quickly."

Ignatz looked at the medicine bottle, then at his hands, and had to admit: "...Indeed."

"Because these are brought about by drugs, not our own."

Recalling the surgery he missed, Ignatz put the bottle back reluctantly: "Let's review the cesarean section. How did you make the incision? Is it the transverse incision of the lower segment mentioned before?

"

"No, because it was Teacher Hills who came on stage temporarily, the longitudinal incision you decided on before was used, and the uterine body was also selected for longitudinal incision."

"In case of longitudinal incision..." Ignatz opened the "Atlas" at hand again and asked, "According to this operation record, although it is easy to remove the fetus, there will be a lot of bleeding in the uterus.

, the suturing of the uterine body is also a big problem.”

"The process in the middle is indeed a bit dangerous..."

The two went through the entire cesarean section operation process. Ignatz seemed not to be affected by his family, and he concentrated on absorbing the key points of the operation thrown out by Kawei one by one. From determining the incision, to how to enter the abdominal cavity, and then

From choosing the incision in the uterus to removing the fetus, as well as how to deal with bleeding and the placenta, Kawei talked about it all.

There is still a lot of contingency added to it, which greatly weakens his ability.

Because he had undergone a major operation and was tired all night, Ignaz took a half-day off tomorrow morning so that he could have a good rest at home. In the afternoon, he would come to change Count Morasso's dressing.

At 3:30 in the morning, Kawei had just returned to his home.

This is not No. 73 Basinger Street, but the new apartment Laszlo bought for him.

Coincidentally, it happened to be the same building where Andrei lived before his death and was auctioned off by Mikla after his death. After a long circuit in the hands of others, it finally ended up in the hands of his "former illegitimate son".

The location is on White Green Street, next to Laszlo's large manor, not far from the hospital, and the round trip by taxi only takes less than half an hour. The apartment is not big, but for someone who has been living in a cramped low-rent house,

It's pretty good for Kawi. All the furniture and decorations are there, so you can move in with your bags.

The most important thing is that I finally have a place to take a bath.

After taking a shower, Kawei lay on the bed, listening to the sound of the hands of the wall clock in his ears without feeling sleepy.

More than eight hours ago, he completed his first surgery after traveling through time. There was nothing exciting about it, it was just a cesarean section.

If it were placed in a tertiary hospital in the 21st century, this would be just a daily operation performed by an ordinary obstetrics department. It only requires two assistants and 30 minutes to complete the operation. They laugh and laugh throughout the process, and there will be almost no trouble.

But its influence in the 19th century was quite profound.

There are still about twenty years left before the birth of classical cesarean section. As long as he performs a few more successful cesarean operations and publishes another article, Carvey will become the well-deserved founder of cesarean section.

It’s impossible to say that I don’t feel a little bit worried, because this title sounds so outrageous, and more and more new titles will be placed on his head in the future, it’s hard not to think about it.

But the embarrassment is embarrassing, and Kawei will never let go. He can only say sorry to those sages who left their names in the history of surgery. Perhaps this is the "lion heart" he needs to hone. After all, it is ordinary.

The surgery wasn't too challenging in Kavey's eyes.

Correcting his mentality, he began to think about what he needed to do next.

First of all, disinfection techniques, further promotion of oxytocin, and successful surgeries can drive traffic. As long as the numbers of success continue to accumulate, Kawei is still optimistic about this matter.

In addition, I will publish a few more articles, and after entering university, I can use the new microbial theory to overturn the original idea of ​​not washing hands and disinfecting. And oxytocin, in my vole experiments and in the future cesarean section
