Great Tang princess

Chapter 658 Surgical Conception
While Li Yuechen was busy here, the medical school was not idle either.

Immediately after receiving the order, the treatment of the injured began.

Both Liu Shenwei and Qin Minghe understood the importance of command during the smallpox incident in the eastern capital.

So although there were many wounded, under the orderly command, there was no chaos inside.

Coupled with the cloth strips Li Yuechen sent them, they immediately understood the significance of doing so, and immediately began to strictly implement it.

Nowadays, the students in the medical school say that there is not much, and that there is not much.

The doctors' own children and apprentices, plus the new students admitted after the establishment of the medical school, totaled less than 100 people.

Under strict command, these people can ensure that the medical school will not be chaotic.

……

In Huijiefang, the demolition work of Li Yuechen and Jinwu Guard has almost come to an end.

When the last house was demolished, they all stood still.

Li Yuechen frowned and came over: "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, this house is not small, and it is connected to the back." Jin Wuwei replied, "It uses a long main beam. If it is demolished, a large part of the back will collapse."

Hearing the answer, Li Yuechen came to the back and took a look, and found that it was more than just a room connected to each other.

It is estimated that generations of grandparents and grandchildren live here, and almost all the houses are connected together.

If it is forcibly demolished, I am afraid that the more than ten houses in the back will collapse.

Li Yuechen looked up and saw that the floor height of this house was only about two meters.

I am 1.7 meters [-] tall, and I can touch the beams of the house by raising my hand.

Common people's houses are generally self-built houses, especially in this area close to the city, not as complicated as the houses of the rich and powerful.

Li Yuechen raised his hand and pushed the beam up, and found that the weight was estimated to be only a few hundred catties, which was not very heavy.

"Go outside and get a piece of wood that can be used as a pillar!" Li Yuechen gave an order, "Demolish this house and move the pillar back."

"But……"

"This palace will support the beams of this house, and replace the pillars inside, and you will be responsible for demolishing this house." Li Yuechen said.

The Jin Wuwei on the opposite side suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.

Then he looked at the slender princess in front of him with a look of "Is there still such an operation?"

I have heard a lot about the legend of Princess Taiping, but when I really had the opportunity to witness it with my own eyes, the Jinwu Guard in front of me felt a little dazed.

But an order is an order, and he immediately took a few people to find a suitable piece of wood in the ruins that had been demolished outside.

Then, in the expressions of these Jin Wuwei guards who saw a ghost, they saw Li Yuechen raised a hand and slightly raised the thick crossbeam a little.

Although only a little, there was a "creaking" sound from the house in front.

Then Li Yuechen supported the beam with one hand, and gently moved the wood under the beam with the other.

Then she lightly let go, and the beam was firmly placed on the new pillar!
The whole process is not long, it is over in a few seconds.

But in these few seconds, several Jinwu guards present couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and it became a scene that they will never forget for a lifetime.

After changing the pillars, Li Yuechen patted the dust on his hands: "What are you still doing here in a daze? Go to work!"

"Ah... yes!"

The Jinwu Guard on the opposite side agreed, and then began to demolish the house.

As long as the house is demolished, the fire site will be isolated and will not continue to spread.

As for the protruding beam, it only needs to be watched to keep the fire from spreading.

A large area of ​​houses can't be seen, but a pillar is still no problem.

……

When the last house was demolished, a red sun could already be seen slowly rising in the sky.

The work of all the people present at this time is to keep pouring water into the flames, bit by bit eating away at the scope of the flames.

There is no need to worry about the spread of the fire, and people naturally no longer panic, and the water that was brought up will not be spilled out, and it can basically be splashed into the flames.

After Li Yuechen stopped washing his hands, he came to the side of the fire that was still struggling.

The fire was still quite intense, and the flames were still rising and twisting, roasting the surrounding air into a heat wave visible to the naked eye.

But no matter how hard you struggle at this time, it will be useless, and it is only a matter of time before it is extinguished.

Looking at the flames that were still two or three stories high, Li Yuechen had a complicated expression.

At this moment, the interior of the flame was very quiet, and no cries or calls for help could be heard at all.

Presumably, after the flames were extinguished, the people inside were also burned to charcoal.

……

Seeing her standing motionless in front of the flames, the guard captain Yi Liuru came over: "Your Highness, the fire has been brought under control, let's go back and rest."

Li Yuechen didn't speak, but shook his head lightly, and beckoned to General Jin Wuwei and the bad commander who were commanding from the side.

"You two did a good job. After the fire is extinguished, I will ask for credit for you in front of the saint."

"Thank you Your Highness, this is..."

"I have other things to deal with in this palace, so I leave first. You must pay attention to the things here, and you must put out the fire completely, and be careful not to re-ignite..."

After explaining the matter, Li Yuechen waved his hand, turned and left with the guards.

When he came outside Huijiefang, he was slightly taken aback.

A large number of people gathered outside the gate of the workshop. Most of these people were dressed in rags, and even their faces were dark.

They were uninjured civilians and Zoroastrians in the square, and they were all standing quietly at the door at this moment.

Seeing the princess coming out, an old man in his fifties or sixties took two steps forward.

He bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life!"

The other people behind him also saluted, saying in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life!"

"You are free!"

Li Yuechen raised his hand, and then said: "It's not just me, this time, the Jinwu Guards and bad people have also worked hard to control the fire by fighting side by side with me. I heard that Fang rushed into the fire to save people. The scene of the fire... I deeply regret this..."

After talking to the people, Li Yuechen got on his horse and went straight to the medical school.

……

The medical school is not too far away from the scene of the fire, and it will be here in a while.

Entering the gate of the medical school, the first thing you see is a three-story concrete building.

This is the teaching building and administrative building of the medical school, and there is another dormitory building next to it.

However, on the square of the medical school, there were a large number of straw mats, and many wounded people were lying on the straw mats.

Most had green ribbons on their hands, and a few white ones.

The rest are basically black, belonging to the wounded who have died.

Seeing the princess coming, the students who were taking care of the wounded in the square hurried over to salute.

Li Yuechen nodded and asked, "How is the treatment going?"

"Going back to Your Highness, it's pretty smooth." The student opposite replied, "Treat them in order, and most of them were successfully rescued."

"Where is Liu Shenwei now?"

"Returning to Your Highness, among the wounded who were sent last, there is a pregnant woman who is in the period of childbirth, so it is a bit troublesome. At the moment, the two masters are in the consulting room..."

Hearing the answer, Li Yuechen nodded, then raised his legs and entered the building.

The consulting room is on the first floor, and you don't have to look for it after you come in. You can see it at a glance.

Li Yuechen walked through the corridor and came to the door of the consulting room.

After pushing the door, I saw a pregnant woman lying on the bed with her legs open, and a midwife about fifty years old was examining her.

The pregnant woman seemed a little delirious, and she didn't know what she was muttering.

Liu Shenwei and the others were discussing something with sad faces, and the students around them also looked a little helpless.

Next to the hospital bed was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be the husband of the pregnant woman, kneeling and worshiping outside the window, as if he was praying for God's blessing.

Seeing the princess coming in, Liu Shenwei and others hurriedly saluted.

"No!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, looked at the pregnant woman on the bed and asked, "How's the situation?"

Liu Shenwei turned his head and took a look, then slowly explained.

After his explanation, Li Yuechen understood.

The middle-aged man next to her was not the husband of the pregnant woman, but her father-in-law.

When the fire broke out, the husband wanted to rescue his wife, but because the beams collapsed, he tried his best to push his wife out, and he was crushed to death by the burnt beams.

The pregnant woman was hit on the head because of this, and she is now unconscious.

But now it was the critical moment of the imminent delivery, being unconscious meant that he was unable to give birth to the fetus with force, and happened to catch up with the malposition of the fetus, so the situation became extremely troublesome.

Normally, the fetus is head-down, but this fetus has its feet down, which is an inverted fetus.

To put it simply, it is difficult to give birth.

The father-in-law of the pregnant woman asked to keep the baby on the grounds that the son died and he had to keep a bloodline.

This was a normal thing in ancient times, but not in medical school.

When Li Yuechen founded the medical school, he told them that doctors are the profession of saving lives and healing the wounded, and they must protect both of them in similar situations.

Even if it is a last resort, you must keep it safe!
The reason for keeping the university is that in this era, the child mortality rate is extremely high.

Many children are not named before the age of three, because it is hard to say whether they will live past the age of three.

So in this era, children before the age of three are not considered human beings.

And Li Yuechen wants to keep the big one because in the future law, a child is not considered a human being until it is fully born.

Before it is fully born, it is not considered a person in the legal sense.

So Liu Shenwei and others ignored the middle-aged man's request, but gathered together to discuss whether they could find a way to let the pregnant woman give birth to the child smoothly.

If it really doesn't work, then you have to do your best to keep it big.

After listening to their explanation, Li Yuechen also frowned and thought about it, and then asked: "Under normal circumstances, what should I do if I encounter dystocia?"

Liu Shenwei immediately explained.

According to his explanation, there are generally three ways to deal with dystocia in this era.

The first is to feed medicine. There are many oxytocin medicines in Chinese medicine, and the effect is not bad;

The second is acupuncture, as the name suggests, this kind of reverse fetal, using needles to prick the feet of the fetus, let him retract by himself, and then adjust his body position by himself;
The last is the massage method. The doctor will use a special massage method on the belly of the pregnant woman, similar to Tai Chi, to push the fetus in the belly so that it becomes head-down.

However, the above-mentioned methods require the cooperation of the pregnant woman herself, because the mother also needs to forcefully squeeze the fetus out during the delivery process.

But the biggest problem is that the pregnant woman is unconscious at this time and can't use her own strength, so the above methods are not valid.

Li Yuechen felt that the biggest problem was how to wake up the pregnant woman, but Liu Shenwei and others said that in this situation, even if she woke up, she would have no strength.

While several people were discussing, the middle-aged man ran over and knelt in front of Li Yuechen.

"I beg Your Highness to leave a bloodline for my family! I will always be grateful to Your Highness for your great kindness..."

While talking, he kowtowed, crying and crying.

Although Li Yuechen didn't like this behavior of protecting the small but not the big, he couldn't criticize anything.

Because this era is like this, which requires the improvement of civilization, and it is impossible to solve it by yourself.

She just asked indifferently: "Then I ask you, if you give birth to a baby girl in the end, will you regret it?"

"This..." The middle-aged man froze in place.

"If you promise me that even if you give birth to a baby girl in the end, you can't sell her, but work hard to raise her into an adult... Then I will allow you to keep the baby." Li Yuechen said with a deadpan expression on his face. .

But after saying these words, the middle-aged man on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, not daring to make a promise.

Seeing his appearance, Li Yuechen shook his head, walked a few steps to the side and asked, "Is there any other way?"

Liu Shenwei and the others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

In this situation, the only thing that can be done is to follow the tone that Li Yuechen set at the beginning, and keep the big one.

Li Yuechen turned his head and glanced at the pregnant woman on the hospital bed. Although she was unconscious, her hands were subconsciously stroking her abdomen.

She stared at it for a few seconds, then turned her head and asked, "How's the result of the wound suturing experiment?"

"Forehead?"

Liu Shenwei didn't expect that she would suddenly change the topic here, and after a moment of stupefaction, he nodded and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, after more than a year of experiments, I discovered that the thread made of sheep gut can be used to suture wounds... ..."

Hearing this answer, Li Yuechen suddenly asked: "Suppose, I want to cut open her belly and take out the fetus under the condition of ensuring that she will not die, can it be done?"

These words made Liu Shenwei and the others in front of them, as well as the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, all froze in place.

Even the midwife, who was examining the pregnant woman, raised her head and looked this way with her eyes wide open.

Of course what Li Yuechen thought of was caesarean section, but it was definitely not a whim when he brought it up at this time.

First of all, there is suturing technology in this era, and after experiments, even guts have been made, which can ensure that the belly can be stitched after being cut open.

As for the problem of infection, Li Yuechen has led troops for so many years and found that as long as the wound is well protected, the chance of wound infection is not high.

It is mainly because there are not so many bacteria in this era in the future, so the prerequisite for caesarean section is indeed established.

However, the preconditions are not enough. The risk of this kind of surgery is very high, and people in this era may not be able to do it.
