177 Traditional Chinese Medicine (Update from yesterday afternoon)
When Rock and Stoudemire visited Douglas, an intense operation was underway at Ziwei Hospital.
The injured was a farmer on the outskirts of Johannesburg. He fell from the roof while repairing his house and suffered severe injuries to his head and abdomen. When he was sent to the hospital, he was unconscious and suffering from excessive blood loss.
"The patient's abdomen was penetrated by a section of steel bar. The open trauma was accompanied by massive blood loss. The patient has now entered the operating room and is in urgent need of surgery." Jerome Jean is a medical student who graduated from the University of Paris. He and his teacher Rui
Leigh Godwin came to Johannesburg with him.
Rayleigh Godwin is a professor at the Second Department of Medicine at the University of Paris, and is currently an authority on medicine in Johannesburg. From a purely medical point of view, Rayleigh Godwin's medical skills are better than those of Abu. Abu is more theoretical, and Rayleigh Godwin is more practical.
, and the University of Paris was far more famous than the University of Gothenburg, so Rock offered Riley Godwin an annual salary of 1,500 pounds to get Riley Godwin from Paris to Johannesburg.
Speaking of the University of Paris, this may be the oldest institution of higher learning in the world, and its status among universities around the world is higher than that of Oxford and Cambridge.
In 1167, the relationship between Britain and France deteriorated, and some British scholars left the University of Paris and returned to England to establish Oxford.
Then in 1209, Oxford students clashed with local farmers at the school, and some Oxford scholars came to the town of Cambridge, which was founded by Franciscans, Benedictines and Saints monks, and then the University of Cambridge came into existence.
"Has the patient's blood type been determined?" Riley Godwin walked and dressed.
"It's confirmed, the patient has blood type A. I have transferred the blood from the blood bank and am preparing to transfuse the patient." Jerome Jean just graduated from the University of Paris. Before graduation, he worked at the Palais Dieu Hospital in Paris. Now he is
Experienced doctor.
In 1901, American doctor Landsted Carr discovered blood types. From then on, blood transfusions for patients finally had a scientific basis.
Ziwei Hospital is at the forefront of the world in this regard. In 1915, the German Louison proposed the indirect blood transfusion method of mixing sodium citrate solution into the blood to prevent the blood from coagulating. Later, with the establishment of blood banks, blood transfusion became possible.
Simple and easy.
Ziwei Hospital now has a blood bank, thanks to Rock's understanding of blood bags. In order to sell blood bags to foreigners, Rock had a lot of knowledge in this area. As a result, Johannesburg became the first in the world.
The city where the blood bank was established.
Before entering the operating room, both Riley Godwin and Jerome Jean were sterilized. In 1903, although the level of medicine was not high enough, the level of surgery was actually very good.
In 1846, ether began to be used as a general anesthetic in surgery. By 1892, procaine replaced ether as the anesthetic. Until the 21st century, procaine is still a safe and effective local anesthetic.
In 1877, Bergman in Germany treated 15 patients with penetrating injuries of the knee joint. He only cleaned and disinfected the wound area and then bandaged it. 12 cases were cured and their lower limbs were preserved. On this basis, Bergman used steam.
Sterilization, and studied the sterilization measures of drape, dressing, surgical instruments, etc., and established asepsis in modern surgery.
With Luo Ke's guidance, Ziwei Hospital's surgical level, not to mention its hardware level, has caught up with the world's first-class. Rubber gloves, hemostatic forceps, and tourniquets that are not widely used in Europe are already standard equipment at Ziwei Hospital.
This effectively improves the treatment level of Ziwei Hospital.
After changing into sterilized surgical gowns, putting on rubber gloves, and then sterilizing them again, Riley Godwin and Jerome Jean walked into the operating room together.
There were already two interns and two nurses busy in the operating room, both assistants to Riley Godwin and Jerome Jean.
By the way, in tonight's operation, Riley Godwin was the chief surgeon, Jerome Jean was the first assistant, and the second assistant, third assistant and two nurses were all Chinese.
The injured person is about 30 years old and looks to be in very bad condition. The steel bar that caused the accident is still inserted into the injured person's stomach and has not been removed. This means that the operating room is full of men. If it were a woman, it might be really painful.
I can't stand this bloody scene.
Riley Godwin did not hesitate, walked to the operating table, grabbed the steel bar and slowly pulled it out.
The injured person's body was shaking violently. Jerome Jean, the second and third assistants worked together to control the injured person and prevent him from moving.
After a long time, Riley Godwin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not dead.
For this kind of injury, there is still hope of rescue in Johannesburg. If it were in other cities, it is estimated that the families of the injured are already preparing for funeral arrangements.
"Now we take the first step, which is to cut open the patient's wound to see if there is any damage to the internal organs." Riley Godwin kept introducing the topic while performing the operation.
This is a rare learning opportunity. Jerome Jean, the second assistant, and the third assistant are all paying full attention. Such patients are actually very common in Ziwei Hospital, but there are not many opportunities for Riley Godwin to get hands-on. Most of the time, those patients
Workers whose limbs were broken by stones or tools were treated by young doctors like Jerome Jean.
Therefore, in the past year or so, the doctors at Ziwei Hospital have made rapid progress in surgical operations. In the entire Ziwei Hospital, there are already more than ten doctors qualified to perform surgeries on patients, and more than 30 doctors are currently practicing.
At this stage, it won’t be long before those intern doctors can also operate independently.
By then, Ziwei Hospital will have increasingly strong capabilities in surgical operations.
"This advantage must be carried forward, so after the establishment of the medical school, surgery will be the largest and most powerful discipline in the medical school. We also hope that the surgery at Johannesburg Medical College will become the best discipline in the world in the future."
Douglas highly praised Ziwei Hospital's surgery department and was also very interested in traditional Chinese medicine: "We are also planning to set up a traditional Chinese medicine research group to conduct research on acupuncture, massage, cupping, etc. in traditional Chinese medicine."
In the mid-20th century, there was a time when Chinese medicine was vilified as "witch doctors" and "witchcraft." Not only did Western countries slander Chinese medicine, but many Chinese people no longer believed in Chinese medicine and became superstitious about the immediate results of Western medicine.
In fact, this is not the case at all. Because of ideology, newspapers in Western countries slander everything about the Chinese. However, serious scientific workers will not ignore the value of traditional Chinese medicine because of this. Many Chinese have begun to abandon traditional Chinese medicine.
At the same time, many Western medical schools and medical laboratories have begun to conduct research on traditional Chinese medicine, which illustrates the problem.
It is only the beginning of the 20th century, and Western countries have not even developed penicillin, so they have no right to despise traditional Chinese medicine.
Because there are many Chinese in Ziwei Town, there are already massages for health care in Ziwei Town, and services such as "cupping" are also available in bathhouses. Douglas tried massages some time ago, and Douglas's waist pain was relieved.
The relief was great, which made Douglas highly recommend Chinese medicine.
As for "cupping", this is not unique to the East. Cupping therapy was also popular in the West in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. The cupping at that time was called "cupping", and the technique and effect were similar to cupping in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Yes, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is very good. Many ancient medicinal prescriptions have great research value. I plan to set up a farm between Johannesburg and Pretoria to grow medicinal materials and process them." Here.
On the other hand, Rock also had ideas, but Rock's starting point was different from Douglas's. Douglas studied Chinese medicine purely out of interest, while Rock's was to save traditional culture.
From now on, the Qing Dynasty will be in a long-term state of disorder. This period will last until the founding of the Republic. At this stage, many traditional cultural treasures have been damaged by wars or lost for some reasons, which has a great impact on the traditional culture of the Chinese people.
Cause huge damage.
Rock didn't want to see this happen. The Qing Dynasty was too far away for Rock to reach. However, as a member of the Chinese people, Rock had an absolute responsibility and obligation to make efforts in this regard.
The key is that Roque has the ability to protect the stability of Johannesburg and even Nyasaland, which creates a good foundation for saving traditional culture and further carrying it forward.
Between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Roque still has more than 100,000 acres of farms, which he has not yet had the energy to develop.
Now there is no need to worry about this problem. It is impossible to study Chinese medicine without Chinese medicine. It just so happens that Luoke has a farm and has the strength, so just plant medicinal materials on the farm. This will kill two birds with one stone. It will provide Chinese medicine for the study of Chinese medicine and also provide Chinese medicine
Create favorable conditions for promotion.
"Locke, speaking of Chinese medicine, if possible, could you hire some Chinese medicine talents from the Qing Dynasty to come to Johannesburg? We can also fully communicate." Douglas had further requests.
"No problem. I have asked Liang Ding to search hard in the Qing Dynasty. I heard that there are already some clues. Perhaps, people will come to Johannesburg soon." Luo Ke was already prepared. He asked Liang Dingxin to find talents in this field a long time ago.
.
Regrettably, although Luo Ke is eager for talents, Liang Dingxin has not made much progress in this regard.
This is understandable. After all, doctors were a very respected profession in the Qing Dynasty. Most of the capable doctors did well in the Qing Dynasty, and no one wanted to come to Johannesburg.
It’s different now. Because of the Eight-Power Allied Forces’ invasion of China, the north of the Qing Dynasty has been in chaos. Coupled with the mutual protection between the south and the southeast, the Qing Dynasty is actually in a state of division. How can the eggs be completed under the overthrow of the nest? There must be a medical family here.
Being affected by the war, Liang Dingxin tried to lure him to his advantage, and he might actually be able to get Liang Dingxin to bring him to Johannesburg.
