"There are still too few people. We need to increase investment, find more students and teachers, and do more research in this area."
"If no one is willing to cooperate with our research, then use slaves to buy a few islands in Nanyang to conduct relevant research."
After leaving the classroom, Liu Jin also explained to Zhang Zhigang and Li Anyuan beside him.
Research must be done. Without research, there will definitely be no progress or improvement. Just relying on these stable women, do you want to improve reproductive technology and reduce mortality?
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly replied solemnly.
Both of them are famous doctors. If it were in the past, they would definitely be extremely opposed to doing research in this area, but it is different now. The development of technology in Daming Medical College in recent years is inseparable from various researches, among which human body research
This is an extremely important course.
Through a large amount of research and experiments, the rapid development of medical technology in Daming Medical College was achieved.
Using slaves to conduct research and experiments is also a routine operation at the Ming Medical College. Before Emperor Hongzhi treated intestinal carbuncle, the Ming Medical College used slaves to conduct hundreds of experiments and constantly summed up experience and lessons.
Only then did the success rate of intestinal carbuncle surgery increase to over 90%.
A large number of surgical procedures have achieved rapid progress, many of which relied on using slaves for experiments.
"How is the research on caesarean section technology going?"
After thinking about it, Liu Jin asked about the caesarean section again.
After surgical techniques have developed to a certain level, caesarean section will naturally occur.
Human beings are actually a very contradictory complex. The brains are getting bigger and bigger, and the brain capacity is getting bigger and bigger, which makes childbirth more difficult and risky.
In the era before caesarean sections, it was unknown how many mothers and babies died from dystocia every year, so Liu Jin was extremely concerned about this caesarean section technology.
"We have done some research and experiments and achieved some results, but at present, the technology is not very mature. The most important thing is that so far, no one believes in us and is willing to go to the hospital for caesarean section. So so far,
We haven't had a single C-section yet."
Zhang Zhigang shook his head helplessly.
In the Chinese people's concept, pregnant women and babies are extremely valued. Even slaves and pregnant women and babies from enemy countries will be treated with kindness.
Of course, this is true in most places around the world. Even the ferocious steppe people and savages will not kill babies and pregnant women because it goes against the harmony of nature.
Therefore, using pregnant women to conduct experiments is something that no one is willing to try. They all think that this will violate the laws of nature and they will suffer retribution in the future.
Even if this pregnant woman is a slave, it is difficult for the professors and teachers at Daming Medical College to do it. Therefore, even with Liu Jin's order, there are still very few experiments on caesarean section. Only in rare cases, there is really no
Once the method was found, they could only use caesarean section to give birth, and they also conducted experiments to accumulate relevant experience.
"Not a single case?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately frowned.
This caesarean section technology is a very important technology. It is extremely important for childbirth. If this technology is mature, I don’t know how many pregnant women and babies can be saved.
However, as surgical procedures have gradually matured, there has not been a single caesarean section until now.
"Indeed no~"
"In front of us, everyone gives birth to their children at home. Some of them cannot survive. By the time they get to us, they are already dead."
"In addition, this caesarean section involves some private parts, so naturally no one is willing to send it over."
Li Anyuan also shook his head helplessly.
"This is not possible. The technology of caesarean section must be researched, and more experiments must be conducted continuously. Only in this way can this technology be matured and benefit more people."
"I know everyone's concerns, and I also know that everyone is unwilling to perform experiments and surgeries on pregnant women and children. This goes against the harmony of nature and will lead to karma."
"But if we don't do it, there will never be improvement and progress, and countless women will continue to die in childbirth."
"We should do this with the benevolence of doctors. What we are doing now is to benefit more people."
Liu Jin frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.
But shouldn’t we do the experiment just because of this?
Of course it's not possible. Experiments must be done and more surgeries must be done so that this technology can slowly become mature.
"Yes, we will try our best to arrange more research and experiments in this area."
When Zhang Zhigang and Li Anyuan heard this, they could only nod and agree.
They all know that if you want to make progress, you must conduct more experiments and summarize more experiences and lessons. If you don't even do the most basic experiments, it will be too difficult to make progress.
"I will arrange for the Ming Dynasty Morning Post to carry out some publicity for you, and your Daming Medical Journal can also carry out relevant publicity and discussions."
"If we want to recruit more students and teachers, it will definitely not work if no one knows about it."
"In addition, when we do these things, we are likely to encounter strong opposition from those traditional, rotten and pedantic people. You must be mentally prepared."
Liu Jin thought for a while and then ordered.
The Ming Dynasty is still extremely conservative in this regard, and it also attaches great importance to chastity, but whether it is a caesarean section or improving related technologies, it will involve this aspect.
Liu Jin can think of future scenarios with his toes. Once these things happen, they will inevitably be strongly opposed by the traditional power and thought of the Ming Dynasty.
When the time comes, Daming Medical College will inevitably be pushed to the forefront and suffer countless accusations and abuses. Naturally, the relevant professors, doctors and students will also be under tremendous pressure from all aspects.
"We have already been mentally prepared!"
Zhang Zhigang and Li Anyuan replied very decisively.
To be honest, being a doctor in the past was naturally comfortable. You could feel your pulse, inquire about the cause of the disease in detail, and then prescribe a prescription, and you would get money.
But in this way, technology has never made any progress, and many diseases still cannot be cured.
There are a lot of things to do now, including all kinds of research. Daming Medical College often faces abuse and criticism, such as performing surgeries.
As for the surgery to treat intestinal carbuncle, so far, the surgery has only been performed on men, but not on women.
Because in an era when chastity is extremely important, life is insignificant compared to chastity.
"The other thing is to cultivate more female doctors and female students. Since there are many taboos in this area, then we should cultivate more female doctors and female students and let women treat women. There will always be no problem."
Liu Jin nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then said.
"Yes~"
"We have tried to recruit as many female students as possible, but the results are not ideal. There are fewer girls studying in school than boys. When they reach their teens, they basically have to get married and have children. So until now our medical school
There are no more than a hundred female students here."
When Zhang Zhigang heard this, he immediately said helplessly.
"……."
Liu Jin was immediately speechless again and didn't know what to say.
Feudal ideas and concepts can really kill people.
The status of women is really too low. The key is that they are still bound by many things such as the three obediences and the four virtues. The schools run by Liu Jin can study for free, but few people are still willing to send their daughters to study, even if they are
Even if they are sent to study, they may not be willing to be sent to study medicine.
This is like falling into an infinite loop.
Male doctors are not able to deal with this aspect, so their skills cannot be improved. Female doctors are needed, but there are too few doctors. As a result, this knot cannot be solved.
"It's still a matter of ideology."
Sighing, Liu Jin couldn't think of any good solution.
While several people were talking, they had already left Daming Medical College and arrived at the entrance of the Affiliated Hospital. There were very many people in the Affiliated Hospital, and there were many people coming from all over Daming to see the doctor.
"Give way~Give way~"
Just when Liu Jin was about to leave, a four-wheeled carriage came quickly. Before it could stop, a young man got out of the carriage. The weather was still relatively cold, but he was sweating profusely.
, picked it directly from the carriage, and then shouted loudly.
After hearing his words, the people around him immediately looked over, and saw him carefully picking up a woman from the four-wheeled carriage. It could be seen that the woman had a swollen belly. She was obviously a pregnant woman, and she seemed to be pregnant.
She was already in labor and there was a lot of blood all over her body.
"Give in, give in~"
"Doctor, doctor, please save my wife, please save my wife."
"She has been giving birth for three days and three nights, but she hasn't given birth yet. Please save my wife and my child."
Liang Feng hugged his wife and walked anxiously to the hospital.
The whole person seemed very strenuous, tired, helpless, and at the same time full of worry and helplessness.
"Go and help him~"
Seeing this scene, Liu Jin quickly said to his followers.
"Let's go and have a look~"
Then Liu Jin quickly followed up and took a closer look at the woman in Liang Feng's arms. Her face was pale and she fell into a coma. He then looked at the blood stains on her body and her bulging belly.
Liu Jin also shook his head slightly, thinking that there might be no way to save him. This tragedy of two lives was really too much for people to look at.
Zhang Zhigang and Li Anyuan also hurriedly followed, and then stepped forward and said to Liang Feng: "I am the doctor here, let me take a look."
"Okay, okay~"
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Liang Feng nodded quickly and looked at Zhang Zhigang with expectant eyes.
Zhang Zhigang carefully felt his pulse, checked his breathing and said: "The person is still alive and can be saved. How long have you had this difficult labor?"
"It's been three days and three nights. I've tried all my methods, but still can't give birth. Now I'm completely comatose. Po Wen said that your hospital is the best in the entire Ming Dynasty and has the best doctors with the best medical skills. Please help me."
My wife and the child in my belly!”
Liang Feng knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhigang.
"If you want to save your wife and child, there is currently only one way, and that is to have a caesarean section and surgery to take the child out of the belly."
"This surgery is risky, do you want to do it?"
Zhang Zhigang carefully diagnosed and checked his pulse, and then asked solemnly.
