The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1223

[1223. Chapter 1168 Surgery]

Su Yue had already obtained medical information.

Over the years, they have performed many dissections.

Human eyes, ears, nose, including the internal organs, they have already analyzed them clearly.

Thanks to the Tatars.

Of course, this is not to say that medical schools have any enmity with the Tatars.

In fact, Tatars don’t have much idea of burying themselves in peace.

Therefore, when a person dies, everything is over.

At the medical school, with only a little money, they purchased the corpses and directly dissected them to analyze the structure of the human body.

With the efforts of Su Yue and others, information is constantly accumulated and the knowledge of the human body is updated.

Coupled with the emergence of the theory of tiny insects, the emergence of the theory of tiny insects does not mean that the current level of technology has enabled microscopes to observe bacteria hidden in the body.

Instead, when people realized the existence of worms, they began to observe the human head more and more carefully. Even if it was just a hair, why did the hair appear? So, people discovered the hair follicles and kept thinking about the hair follicles. composition and its effect on hair.

Zhu Houzhao did not start immediately, but first read through all the medical papers related to the eyes in recent years.

Generally understand the structure of the human eye.

Then… through the dolphin’s eye, observe it yourself.

Finally, he understood the general causes of cataracts and what methods would be needed to remove cataracts.

At the moment… all Fang Jifan can provide is only one method to solve cataracts, which is the golden needle extraction method that has been known hundreds of years ago.

Wang Tao, a master of literature in the Tang Dynasty, once gave a simple and concise description of the symptoms of cataract in his book “Secrets of Waitai”: When cataract eye disease first appeared, the patient “suddenly saw flies and sunspots in front of his eyes, rising and falling one by one.” “The patient’s condition generally develops slowly, “gradually becoming unclear, and gradually leading to blindness over time.”

But the solution is: it is better to use a golden grate, and after one injection, the eyes will suddenly be clear. After the acupuncture is completed, it is advisable to take rhubarb pills and not to have diarrhea.

Of course, this thing is effective, because similar records have appeared in subsequent documents. However, after the Song Dynasty, this method was gradually lost, and people began to ignore the problem of cataracts.

The golden acupuncture method of the Tang Dynasty was relatively primitive, but now that the conditions are in place, more in-depth treatment can be carried out on this basis.

This method was actually popular until the last century. How to make the effect more significant requires constant practice and discussion.

Since his father was involved, Zhu Houzhao calmed down.

Fang Jifan continued to have repeated discussions with Zhu Houzhao using his own bits and pieces of information, and both parties continued to draw some opinions on the operation in the drawings.

This is just talk on paper.

But a large number of medical students all held notebooks and sat in rows obediently, recording the discussions between the two ancestors.

This is wealth. If anyone can understand it thoroughly, his understanding of ophthalmology will advance rapidly.

The walls are covered with various cross-sections sketched with charcoal, and the structure of the eyes can be clearly seen.

Everyone was mesmerized and listened attentively.

Even Su Yue rushed over and moved a small stool to listen.

Of course, this process may not always be harmonious.

For example…

when Zhu Houzhao was tired from the discussion, he couldn’t help but complain: “Anyway, my father is very blind on weekdays. He can’t tell the difference between good and bad, and can’t distinguish between loyalty and evil. It doesn’t matter if his eyes are cured.”

Everyone: “…”

Fang Jifan Immediately said: “His Royal Highness, how can you slander Your Majesty like this? I strongly object to this. Your Majesty is really a wise man. Your Highness must have some misunderstanding. Okay, let’s continue to talk about removing obstacles…”

Discussion about surgery , which lasted for half a month.

And what comes next is the highlight.

First, the medical students were asked to look for cataract patients, and then the patients came. Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan made preoperative preparations. They encouraged each other because it was their first time doing it, so they were both a little nervous.

The patient was an old man with serious cataracts. Hearing that Xishan Medical College not only treated him, but also gave him thirty taels of silver after the treatment, he came over excitedly. He could hardly see with almost both eyes. , before my eyes, it was just a blur.

After sending him to the Silk Road, he tried hard to open his eyes and look: “Ah, which god healed the old boy? Why are there so many people? Could it be that the old boy’s eyes are serious again? It seems like there are many people here.”

In the jam room, dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at him.

He was not mistaken, there were many doctors here.

Everyone was fully armed and neatly dressed, even their hands were wearing leather gloves.

Many people took out cardboard and started recording the patient’s condition while carrying charcoal pens.

“Give him medicine.”

The excited medical students dare not neglect this. This is the most precious clinical experience. His Royal Highness is the surgeon himself, no one is willing to let it go easily.

The old man was lying on the operating table, and then someone covered his face with a piece of cloth. A hole was left in the cloth, starting with the right eye, which was exposed.

After the old man took the medicine, he began to feel drowsy, but he was still conscious.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Get ready.”

After giving the order, Fang Jifan started to get some alcohol and smeared and disinfected the old man’s eyes.

Then, he took out something similar to a clamp and opened the old man’s eyes.

On the stand, a huge magnifying glass was moved and pointed at the old man’s eyes.

This is the most powerful magnifying glass available today. After seven or eight years of development, this magnifying glass has been widely used and is indispensable in medicine, military and machinery manufacturing.

Therefore, some skilled craftsmen began to appear. Through this magnifying glass, the old man’s hair was clearly visible. His eyes were constantly magnified in Zhu Houzhao’s eyes, and the whites and even bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said, “Old Fang, what is the first step?”

“Dotting the eyes.” Fang Jifan said with shame, “Didn’t we discuss this before? Dot the eyes first.”

“Oh.” Zhu Houzhao nodded, He continued to breathe to calm his inner excitement. Every time he held the tool and looked at the patient on the operating table, he could not control his inner excitement.

Fortunately, his hand was very steady, and Zhu Houzhao kept observing the old man’s eyes.

The so-called dotting is to choose the site where the needle should be inserted. What Zhu Houzhao held in his hand was not a scalpel, but a slender copper needle. After he looked carefully, his eyeballs seemed to be hooked and did not move. “What’s the next step?”

Fang Jifan started to feel guilty.

Uncle, please don’t be like this, okay? It will scare the patient to death.

Sure enough, although the old man on the operating table was unconscious, he began to tremble after hearing Zhu Houzhao’s words. I bet you have never been treated before.

He suddenly thought why Xishan Medical College wanted to give him money.

How can the money of these doctors be so easy to get?

He pouted and wanted to say something, but unfortunately, after drinking the stinky pockmark soup, he had no energy at all.

Fang Jifan said from the side: “Your Highness, the next step is to shoot in the abdomen.”

Zhu Houzhao remembered, he breathed evenly, and the most critical step began.

Every medical school, keep your eyes open.

To them, this step is extremely exciting.

How good the master’s craftsmanship is depends on this step.

Zhu Houzhao was very relaxed. He said to the old man with a smile: “Don’t move around. It’s not a joke if you give the wrong injection. You will be blind. I am not responsible.”

While he was joking, his hand But in this flash of lightning, there was a sudden movement, and the tiny needle tip appeared under the magnifying glass and began to become thicker. He stared at the position of the needle tip and pierced the old man’s eyes fiercely.

Everyone gasped.

The old man felt pain and groaned.

Fortunately, his head has been fixed and his eyes are supported by braces.

This is a swelling pain.

This needle is of great importance because it must be inserted diagonally between the iris and the lens of the eye. A slight mistake may directly blind the person’s eye.

When Fang Jifan saw this, his heart sank. When he saw the tip of the needle piercing steadily and accurately, Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Fang Jifan had to admire his ancestors from the Tang Dynasty.

Their equipment at that time must have been ten or a hundred times cruder than now. Damn it, they dared to stab people in the eyes without being beaten to death. This shows how wonderful life is in nature.

Zhu Houzhao held the needle without moving at all. At this moment, his face showed no expression at all, and even his breathing began to become inaudible.

Any mistake in any step will determine the success or failure of the operation.

He spoke softly and murmured: “The next step is to “explore Li”.”

As he spoke, his hand moved slightly, but he saw that the needle tip that had pierced the iris continued to move forward, allowing the needle to pass through After the iris, continue inserting the needle toward the pupil.

The old man’s eyes began to shed tears subconsciously.

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment while holding the needle and said, “Rinse it.”

Fang Jifan understood, took the specified salt water, and began to rinse the old man’s eyes carefully.

During this process, Zhu Houzhao had to hold the needle motionless. He said cheerfully: “Old Fang, what should we have for lunch?”

Fang Jifan’s heart jumped into his throat: “Side stove?”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: ” “No, I’ve been a bit angry lately. Let’s try something else.

“

“Pork!”

“

When I become emperor, I’ll give it to you.” The same people will be captured and beheaded.”

“Your Highness, work hard.”

“Oh, let’s use less chili and keep it light.”

“Okay, hurry up.” Fang Jifan said. : “Don’t waste time, I’m hungry.”
