Nineteenth Century Medical Guide

Chapter 107 104. The Alarm Bell Rings
Moraso is the son of Grandma Franz's sister, and has little to do with the royal family.It's just that he is about the same age as Franz, and he has made many military exploits in the army, coupled with his good personality and hereditary earl title, making him one of the king's few close friends.

Now with Marianna, Moraso's status has been further improved, and he has reached the point where he has nothing to talk to the king.

This change is intuitively reflected on the way back after the wedding.

Ordinary open-top wedding carriages only take two people, and the newcomers usually share one. The king and queen have their own special drivers, and others are free.Before getting into the carriage, Elizabeth suddenly proposed to catch up with her sister alone.Franz knew she was in a bad mood, so he agreed directly.

According to the usual interpersonal relationship, Moraso must be closer to Ignaz, and the king who is diligent in government affairs will have a private chat with Viscount Clichy, who has a seat in the parliament.

But in fact, Franz uncharacteristically pulled Moraso into his car.

This is a large carriage that can accommodate six people. In addition to Franz and Morasso, there is also a court guard who is responsible for the king's safety and two accompanying guards: "The guard, please be sure to follow the queen. Be there and keep her safe."

"Yes."

"By the way, please get Mr. Laszlo into the car."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This strange distribution method did not come to an end, but further affected Carvey.As the "personal doctor" who came here with Morazo, he was supposed to go with Ignatz, but in the end he was dragged up by Morazo.

Moraso handed Carvey's cane and surgical instrument box to the two guards behind the car: "Let's go home~"

Except for the two guards at the rear of the car, there are four men with very different personalities sitting on the four seats in the center.

Moraso was wearing a white officer's uniform with seven or eight medals on his chest, but he did not behave like a soldier.Laszlo is dressed in a traditional wealthy businessman's outfit, with a brown vest, a black coat, and close-fitting breeches. There are not many but exquisite decorations on his body.

The young king, who was not yet 40 years old, was wearing a dark blue military uniform. Although he was ordinary in stature, he was heroic, exuding the majesty of a king from the inside out.

Kavi didn't have time to learn their aristocratic etiquette, and he didn't bother to learn it. Even if the earl helped him with a few hundred crowns, it still couldn't hide his civilian temperament.

Fortunately, the king didn't value these things, and he didn't show disdain. Of course, he wouldn't be as enthusiastic and forthright as Moraso.He just regarded Carvey as an ordinary person, and the only thing he was interested in was the reason why Moraso invited him to the car.

"Frantz, he is Carvey."

Moraso smiled and introduced to the king: "You have always said that I let you meet Elizabeth, but if you get to the bottom of it, it is actually this young doctor who brought your beautiful and charming wife back to Vienna."

Carvey was confused and didn't know what logical relationship there was, so he shook hands with Franz in a daze.

"So you are Mr. Carvey Hines." A smile appeared on Franz's face, "I heard that you cured the Earl's illness."

Carvey didn't dare to claim credit: "All this is God's blessing, I'm just helping."

"Haha~" Franz laughed, "God can't wait to put him in the confession hall and confess, how could he bless him. Mr. Carvey is too modest, and Morazo wrote all the treatment process in his diary, It was shown to me a few days ago, and it was indeed very bold.”

"I made you laugh."

"I can't live without you, count, and without the count, Mariana wouldn't come to Vienna to get married." The king helped clarify the relationship, "without Mariana."

Suddenly, Franz looked at Laszlo beside him: "By the way, Mr. Laszlo, I remember that your throat was also healed by a doctor named Carvey. Could it be?"

"You guessed it right, Your Majesty the King."

Austro-Hungarian cooperation is not only the current national policy of Austria, but also the achievements that the queen has always wanted to help share and complete.If the bond of Laszlo is broken, although the two sides will not lose the opportunity to cooperate, they will definitely lose a lot of benefits and bring more difficulties to future integration.

"Mr. Carvey, thank you."

Kavey was flattered on his face, and he was relieved in his heart. He deserves to be thankful when he thinks of these chain reactions brought about by rescuing the two of them:
"Mr. Laszlo was more lucky that time. I just helped to adjust the position of the horn tube at the end. The Earl should thank him for his good health. If it is on other people, it may take more than half a month to recover. "

"Mr. Carvey is still modest." Franz said, "I have seen many soldiers with festering wounds in the army, but it is not as easy as you said."

"Something new is really needed."

Hearing this sentence, Moraso felt a chill in his lower right abdomen, quickly adjusted his sitting posture, and put his hands on his groin for protection: "Stop talking, it will make my area start to hurt again."

"Is it really that exaggerated? You also proposed to promote this debridement method within the army."

"The method is good, but the process is really not flattering."

Seeing that the king was interested, Carvey was unwilling to let go of this opportunity: "Your Majesty, surgery has developed rapidly, and now it has entered a new chapter. Wound ulcers are no longer a serious disease that cannot be solved. This is from Crimea. The new method has been tried since the beginning of the Asian War, and it works very well."

Franz sat up straight, "But I heard that the chance of festering surgical incisions in Vienna Hospital is still very high."

"This kind of data takes time to update, and the report His Majesty read should be from last year." Carvey explained, "If you can visit the Municipal General Hospital, you will be able to discover the effects of this new technology. "

"What about other hospitals?"

"Surgeons in other hospitals don't believe in new theories and technologies, so their wards remain the same."

"Mr. Carvey, the top doctors in the country can work in the theater in Vienna. Why do they oppose this effective new technology?"

"The emergence of new theories and new technologies has motivation and resistance, and it will definitely bring doubts and distrust from the outside world." Carvey looked at Morazo and said, "But, Your Majesty, science is about objective facts, and this The facts are sitting in front of you."

Franz knew very well that it would be a miracle to survive a wound as severe as Moraso's festering.

He took a deep breath, looked at the count who was in good health, and nodded: "The incision festering is related to the logistics support and nursing of the army. I really need to listen to your opinion."

Carvey never thought that a high-ranking king could be more humble and studious than those surgeons who read medical books. He has been listening carefully since he began to talk about the relationship between microorganisms and incision ulceration.

"Your Majesty, medical treatment is related to the health of every citizen." Carvey said, "So in principle, social medical treatment should be the same as the army's logistical medical treatment, and it needs to be mandatory."

Franz was a little surprised: "Could there be differences among doctors?"

"The speed of medical development and updating is too fast." Carvey explained, "There will always be many people who can't keep up with the pace, and it seems that such people still account for the majority."

This sentence seemed to touch something in Franz's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is the case in medicine, so why not in government affairs?"

Obviously, there are too many things that need to be solved urgently in front of Franz. Changing the medical system and popularizing disinfection care are not on his work schedule. What is more important now is still the relationship with Hungary.

Laszlo is Hungarian, but with such a large industry, he has to understand the languages ​​of the surrounding countries.

Hungary was originally a vassal state of Austria, and Laszlo learned German from his father's business since he was a child.According to etiquette, since a commoner in his country knows German, he should choose standard Austrian German when communicating with the king. This is the most basic respect for the leader.

But Franz started in Hungarian before him. It seemed that it was for Laszlo's convenience, but in fact, he still didn't want others to hear the conversation.

Karvey naturally didn't understand Hungarian, and he also understood the intention of doing so. He turned his face sensibly and looked at the Danube River outside the window.There is still a long way to go to the manor on the outskirts of Earl City, why not take a look at the scenery along the way.

As for the business with Laszlo, there was lunch and dinner after that, and there was still time.

Since traveling to Austria, Karvey has been busy with work and has no time to rest.The carriage leaving the church will go west along the Danube, which happens to be a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the coast.

The deserted spring sun is reflected on the Danube River passing through the city. This beautiful scenery is the most beautiful business card of Vienna.

Sitting upside down in the carriage, Carvey saw an oil painting that kept moving forward, with yachts in the distance and figures in the vicinity.Although it is not as good as "the upper and lower sky, a vast expanse of blue" in "Yueyang Tower", it can also be called a beautiful scenery.

It's just that for him, who is used to seeing the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, this big river looks too delicate after all, so that it only adds a little bit of pettiness.

On the contrary, it is the various music that appears from time to time on both sides of the river bank, which brings more fun to the Danube River, which is refreshing to listen to, and also reminds Kawei of the melodiousness and melodiousness of "The Blue Danube". Emmm, calculate the current time , it seems that it is not far from the formal creation and completion of this great waltz by Strauss Jr.

Let’s go to the concert hall to try the feeling of the live version when we have the opportunity.

The monotonous sound of horseshoes and the repeated Hungarian words in his ears made Kavey's eyelids close together. When he woke up again, the poetic and picturesque scene just now had long since disappeared.The Danube is still the same Danube, but the leisurely crowd just now has become restless.

The cruise ship in the distance is approaching the shore, and there are screams from the shore.

"Stop the car!" Franz stopped the driver, "There seems to be something wrong there."

One of the two guards jumped down: "Your Majesty, I'll go and have a look."

"Ah."

At this time, Kavey's brain had just turned on, and he was in a trance: "What's wrong?"

"Something happened by the river." Moraso stood up and looked up, "They are all looking at the river, and there are people everywhere. Wait, the people on the boat seem to have brought a fishhook, and they seem to be salvaging something."

The guard who went to inquire soon brought the latest news: "Report to Your Majesty, someone on board fell into the water, and they are trying to rescue them."

Franz looked up at the bustling crowd: "Then why are you still in a daze, go and save people!"

"Yes." Another guard got out of the car in response.

At this time, Moraso jumped over the car door and took off the officer's coat: "There are no fences on both sides of the river bank, let them maintain order. If someone falls into the river again, things will only get worse. The river in spring is too It’s cold, ordinary people can’t bear it, and saving people requires enough physical strength, people still have to be rescued by me.”

"You just recovered."

"It's okay." Moraso smiled, "Compared to winter, the current water temperature is meaningless."

The earl said it very casually, but Carvey didn't dare to be casual, and quickly opened the car door and jumped out of the car together.He quickly took his surgical instrument box away from the guard's seat, and before he left, he made a report to Franz: "I'll go and have a look too, maybe I can help."

"Please keep an eye on the Earl!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The one who fell into the river was a child playing on the boat. Perhaps because of carelessness, he accidentally fell into the river.Perhaps because of his small size, although the fishhook protruding down from the side of the boat caught him and prevented him from sinking, he was still unable to rescue him into the boat because of skidding. 【1】

"This kid can't swim~"

"Their hook technology is too bad. If you give it to me, you can guarantee to pull this guy out of the water as soon as possible."

"My God, how long has he been in the water?"

"I'm afraid it will be several minutes."

"It's over."

Moraso was so fast that he separated from the crowd and arrived at the river bank immediately.While asking about the situation, he took off his shirt and breeches, and when Kavey followed, he had already plunged into the water.Acts of righteousness and bravery can always quickly infect people, and soon the second and No.3 enthusiastic citizens also went into the water together.

The surface of the Danube River looks calm, but the current is very fast.The highest temperature in Vienna in March does not exceed ten degrees, and the river water is extremely cold.Even the physically fit Moraso couldn't stand the low temperature, so he had to make some preparations in advance.

While the Earl was struggling to save people, Carvey had collected a pile of shawls and blankets from passers-by.

"Great, saved! Finally saved!"

"Hurry up and bring the bamboo pole, hurry up!"

"A few more people to help!"

With a few shouts, praises and applause from around, the child who fell into the water was brought to the river bank by Morazo and the other two.Although his body was still shaking, the count couldn't help joking: "Kavi, you should really go down with me, the water of the Danube is so comfortable."

The rescue of Morazo has ended, but that of Kavey has just begun.

He wrapped the shawls and blankets around the three of them, and then knelt down to help take off the children's clothes: "Let the boat dock quickly, it's too cold, I need a brazier!"
