Nineteenth Century Medical Guide

Chapter 161 158. Medical Council

It has been three months since Giustina's breast cancer started. From the slight swelling pain that appeared now and then to the more serious stinging pain now, she clearly felt the approach of death.

Husband Camille, younger brother Douai[156 typo] and father Patrice have invited many doctors for her. In the past few days, Giustina was either seeing a doctor or going to see a doctor. on the way.

An old doctor who claims to have treated hundreds of breast cancer cases.

A doctor who claims that the success rate of breast cancer resection exceeds 90%.

The doctor who claimed to be able to cure breast cancer with only a small incision.

A doctor who claims that there will never be a recurrence after surgery.
She was sure no one but herself had seen so many surgeons throughout the first half of 1866.They have a variety of characteristics and different commitments to patients, but there are two similarities in their differences.

One is gender, all men.

The second is age, it is absolutely impossible to be younger than 30 years old.

In fact, the youngest doctor she has ever seen is a surgeon at the Palace Hospital in Paris, who is also 36 years old this year.And the other party was not the chief surgeon, but just a right-hand assistant of the chief surgeon who participated in the consultation.

So when she saw Kavi who was walking with the chief guard, Justina didn't take him seriously at all: "Where's that Dr. Kavi?"

"He is Kavey." Watman was a little proud, "The youngest surgeon in Vienna, and also the most talented surgeon in Austria, I dare say, in Europe or even the world."

Justina could feel his seriousness, and neither Franz nor Elizabeth at the side objected. This should be true.

But he was too young.

"Has Dr. Carvey just graduated from the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna?"

"I just started medical school a month ago."

Justina was a little dazed, and at one point even thought that they had brought out a child together to fool herself: "Aren't you kidding, how could a young man who just entered medical school be able to perform surgery on stage?"

"I thought so two months ago," Watman recalls, "but when I saw the cesarean he presided over, those doubts seemed trivial."

"Cesarean section?" Justina frowned and looked at Carvey up and down, "Can he have a cesarean section?"

"I'm afraid no one will believe it. Just in April this year, he performed a total of seven cesarean sections, all of which were successful."

Justina was a woman who had given birth and had some idea of ​​the survival rate of cesarean section.Such a young surgeon can achieve 100% success of the operation. The plot is too magical: "I remember that the chief doctor Pires of the Lord Palace Hospital can only guarantee a 50% success rate."

"Dr. Pires is really good, but his operation requires the removal of the uterus, and Dr. Carvey does not."

Watman never realized that making introductions to others is such an interesting thing, because there are so many things to say about Carvey, "I also think young people need to maintain a humble posture, but Carvey doesn't need it. He Cesarean section alone has reached the apex of the surgeon."

Surprised, Justina subconsciously picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant milk tea, and couldn't help but said, "It's amazing. Is all this true?"

"It is absolutely true, Countess."

In Carvey's eyes, these words are obviously too much and abnormal.

Watman has never boasted himself so much. Even when he invited himself to the surgical academy to explain the operation process, he was very rational and restrained, and even wanted to make mud on the access pass.

Although the guards and other doctors did not prevent him from entering and leaving the surgical academy, it was more for the sake of his colleague Ignatz.

Bragging about herself like this is nothing more than trying to stabilize Justina.

What I just said is the truth, and Carvey has nothing to deny.He walked forward from behind Watman, came in front of Justina, and said with a low body: "Countess, I hope these achievements can make you trust me enough. Actually, I have some experience with tumors, especially in terms of proliferation and recurrence. "

"Oh really?"

"What was done just now was a tumor resection." Carvey inevitably brought out Fernand to increase his qualifications. "Dr. Watman watched the whole operation from the VIP seat, and the process was very successful."

"I've heard from Dr. Waterman just now, I really don't know whether to envy this female patient or pity her"

???

How did Fernand become a woman?

Carvey hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Watman.

The old man shook his head slightly, Franz coughed twice with a delicate expression, and Elizabeth, who often sang against the king, was also helping to comfort the countess.So far, it seems that a simple mastectomy can only be changed to a mastectomy.

"I already have some practical experience in surgery, and the rest is just to confirm the extent of the tumor."

Justina had no objection to the examination, but what really made her unacceptable was the reconstruction after the operation: "Can I restore my body to its original appearance with one operation?"

The words were very vague, but Carvey knew what she meant: "One time is not enough, it has to be twice, and there needs to be an interval of at least two months in between to ensure that the body can fully recover"

cough cough~
"...If the recovery is not good, this time is likely to be extended." Carvey followed the meaning of the cough and continued, "During this period, the Countess needs to rest as much as possible."

"You mean to keep me in Vienna?"

"That's right." Carvey smiled and looked at the palace garden at his feet, "Vienna is also the capital of art, and it's no worse than the Palace of Versailles. The countess can rest assured here. Dr. Waterman and I will definitely come up with qualified ones. Ru room reconstruction plan, but before that, I hope you can complete the treatment of mastectomy as soon as possible."

"If those cesarean sections are true, I should be able to hand over the operation to you with confidence." Justina looked at Elizabeth sitting beside her, sighed, and apologized, "I can only trouble you You guys are gone."

"It's just a few months, it's not a big deal." Elizabeth smiled, "It doesn't matter if you want to stay longer."

Strictly speaking, Justina and the Franz couple should be regarded as old enemies.During the French-Austrian-Italian War seven years ago, Franz almost died on the front line, while her father, Patrice McMahon, commanded the French army at the time. 【1】

However, the relationship between countries is changing at any time. Now that Prussia is rising, Franz is of course willing to put down his past suspicions and establish a good relationship with France.

What's more, Elizabeth met Giustina when she was recuperating in Corfu Island, and she witnessed her love and marriage many years later, and she is a very good friend.With this relationship, Franz hopes to restore Giustina's health in Vienna, so as to have an extra bargaining chip in negotiations with France.

So it was best for Giustina to stay in Vienna for the next few months and not go anywhere.

The medical advice of Watman and Carvey was exactly in his hands. Once the right to explain the exact time interval between the second operations was in the hands of the two, it was equivalent to entering his own hands.Until then, Giustina can stay as long as she wants.

The physical examination of the breast didn't take much time, and Carvey roughly judged the extent of the tumor after a little palpation in the room.

"The good news is that I haven't found any signs of tumor spread yet." Carvey reported the examination results, "But the bad news is that the tumor is relatively large, exceeding 3cm, and can only be resected in a wide range. ."【2】

"I'm already mentally prepared." Justina put on the clothes with the help of Elizabeth. "I just hope that the operation will be successful."

"Please rest assured."

Carvey and Waterman left the room quickly, but they were not asked to leave the palace, but entered Franz's study under the leadership of the chief guard.Justina's surgery was important, but so was the military's internal medical logistics.

From the Crimean War, the French-Austrian War, and the Civil War, we can clearly see the importance of military medical treatment. Strong medical treatment cannot make soldiers recover immediately, but it can let them know that there is still a high possibility of leaving the army alive after being injured. .

This is the kind of psychological comfort that only complete medical coverage can create.

"The military medical office is already managed by Edinson, so I don't need to intervene." Watman didn't want to get involved in the disputes among the military doctors. "It's better for me to stay in the surgical academy and try my best to make the operation plan for the Countess."

"I just wanted to ask for your advice."

"I have only been a military doctor for half a year, and I am not good at medical management within the army." Watman glanced at Carvey standing behind him, and said with a smile, "Now is the age of young people, and Austria already has A better surgeon."

Franz silently said "Old Fox" in his heart, and asked Carvey, "Dr. Carvey has been to the military doctor's office, right?"

"Well, I've been there."

"Do you think there is anything that can be improved?"

"I'm just an ordinary surgeon in the military medical department." Carvey also imitated Watman's style, and wanted to go further, "The countess is very ill, and I can't think about military medical matters in a short time Yes. If I can."

Franz immediately recognized his voice: "When is the operation scheduled?"

"If there is no accident, it will be in three days."

"Justina should rest for at least three months after the operation." Franz looked up at Carvey and Waterman, "Once she recovers, the war will begin. By that time, Carvey , you must disappear from her sight."

It turned out to be the case.

Kavi understood what the king meant.

Why did she let herself into the palace, and why did she agree with Watman to push herself to the operating table? In fact, in the king's plan, Justina's health seemed to be very important, but in fact it was not important at all.

"Actually, I can hide in the pharmaceutical factory or school."

Franz shook his head: "Karvey, you have to see clearly that in Austria, the level of medical skills is far less important than the reputation of the nobility. You are young and promising, and you have this strength. You should justify the name of the Andre family. Until the war After the end, I will definitely replace the succession order I gave with the canonized imperial edict myself."【3】

"Well, I see, Your Majesty."

"Tell me what you think of surgery at the Military Surgeon."

"The equipment is ready, the medicines are still being purchased, and the pharmaceutical factory is producing at full capacity. If everything goes well, the army's monthly consumption can be made up in less than a month."

In fact, there is no harm in becoming a military doctor. At least Kawei has opened up sales channels, and the income from medicines has already exceeded his imagination.The only thing that makes Carvey uncomfortable is probably the dominance. His authority in the military doctor's office is not as great as Moraso promised.

However, I have already taken advantage of the medicines, and it would be greedy to ask for it again, so it is up to others to say this.

For example, Watman standing aside: "Carvey's handling of trauma is obvious to all. It is really inferior to put him in the position of a general surgeon, and it is also very unfair to the soldiers who charged forward."

Franz also heard some news. For some reason, the position of the chief of the military medical department cannot be changed for the time being: "I will talk to Edinson."

At this time, in the Military Medical Office, Edinson was processing a lot of documents, some of which were documents for the storage of medicines, some were documents for the flow of medical personnel, and some were related to the rapid establishment of the military hospital.

Regarding the title of director on his head, there is actually quite a bit of criticism in the medical community.

He is just a surgeon, neither in theory nor in surgical ability, and only relying on the blessings of his ancestors to get to this point.Many people even suspect that this is how he got the title of vice president of surgery.

But Edinson didn't think it was wrong, because in his eyes, the Military Medical Department was the place to manage military doctors, and it was impossible to manage those doctors well with super medical skills alone.

"The Chief Surgeon seems to have been confirmed. It is Ignatz, and almost unanimously approved." Edinson was not satisfied with the result, and his face was a little ugly. "The Chief Physician of Internal Medicine may have to make a move."

"Dr Fatollard got more than 60 per cent of the vote."

"The vote rate is just a reference. The responsibility of our medical committee is to maintain the stability of the Military Medical Department, so it is impossible for two chief physicians to come from the same hospital. This is not in line with common sense." Edinson explained casually, and quickly asked Said, "Besides him, is there any other suitable candidate?"

"Dr. Lund, City General Hospital, 12 percent; Dr. Poza, Graze Hospital, 9 percent; St. Mary's Hospital, 5 percent."

"Don't think about it, just choose Bosa." Edinson had some impressions of him, "I've met him, he is a respectable physician."

The surrounding committee members nodded one after another: "Tomorrow, the Military and Political Department will send appointment orders to Bosa and Ignatz."

"Let's focus on the next issue." Edinson was holding a report letter in his hand, "Karvey Hines is now being accused of occupying both the positions of drug contractors and surgeons. It complies with the regulations of the Military Medical Office, let’s talk about it.”
