Nineteenth Century Medical Guide

Chapter 62. The State of Mystery

After leaving the dean's office, Carvey did not rush back to the ward, but went to the laboratory first.The cadaveric infection experiment was just the beginning, and the oxytocin experiment was going on in full swing.

Savarin has become an indispensable tool in the laboratory. Of course, for him, experiments have also become an indispensable part of his work.

There is no open and secret struggle between the chief professors in the maternity ward, nor the natural exploitation of Serbian doctors by Austrian "gentlemen", but only those lively voles.

Although dirty, but still cute field mouse.

"gave birth?"

Carvey pushed open the door excitedly. The laboratory had long been decorated as a paradise for voles, and Savarin was sitting in the middle, holding two newborn suckling mice in his hands: "I am in front of the door. I heard them calling."

Savarin is like a doting father: "Yeah, I just gave birth. I didn't expect that my first delivery in the Municipal General Hospital would be dedicated to voles. Think about those voles who just contributed their lives to the cause of science. I really."

"How many?" Carvey interrupted his emotion in time.

"Uh, since the night before yesterday, it is now the fourth baby, and 30 survived." Savarin showed the newly cleaned "mother and baby cage" to Kawei, "Look at this warm scene. "

"Well, okay." Carvey's face was full of smiles, but what he smiled was that he could finally do further experiments, "Come on, randomly divide them into three groups and put them in three cages."

Savarin smelled a trace of uneasiness: "Group? Whose group? They?"

"Of course, the sample size is almost the same, and I need to do further experiments."

卡维可没有萨瓦林对田鼠们的奇怪感情：“对照组随机放入8只乳鼠和1只刚生产完的雌鼠，观察1、2、3组都放入7只乳鼠和1只未受孕过的雌鼠。”

Savarin didn't know the meaning of this: "What's the point of grouping like this?"

"I have to try my medicine." Carvey took out two test tubes from his newly bought medicine box. Mary', last time we named them specially."

To be precise, Carvey took the name first, but asked Savarin symbolically before naming it.Savarin originally thought it was an act of kindness from the owner towards the pet, but unexpectedly it was for convenience and easy to remember.

"They were named by you."

"Well, so I remembered it all at once."

"How can you do this?"

Savarin was very impressed with them. These are three very special female mice. They were not very big when they were caught, and they are not fully mature even now.When doing random grouping, they happened to be assigned to the control group, while the other young mice were not so lucky.

"Kavi, you know what happens when you put them with these kids."

"Of course I know."【1】

Carvey handed over the syringes and medicines: "Cathy in the first group does not need to be injected, put it directly into the cage, Rachel in the second group injects 1ml intraperitoneally, and Mary in the third group injects 2ml intraperitoneally. If there are Jessica, Catherine, Linda or something would be nice, and the dosage could be finer."

Savarin couldn't believe that Carvey would treat the newborn vole babies like this: "They need mothers."

"No, they don't need it." Carvey said coldly about the next plan, "You are responsible for recording the situation of the three cages, mainly how the three female mice treat the suckling mice, and of course the three female mice themselves living conditions."

"I can't do it!"

"There's nothing that can't be done, it's just a field mouse." Carvey made a comparison with a smile, "It's much better to dedicate yourself to science than to be trampled into flesh by boxers."

"It's different, they're just born!"

"Did you do any experiments at school? Didn't you dissect animals?"

Carvey saw that it was not enough to be soft, so he could only be tough: "Put away your compassionate things, they are making contributions to the poor mothers in the first ward of your obstetrics department. You feel guilty about killing a few mice, then die What are those puerpera in the first ward? Someone needs to do this kind of thing, if you don’t do it, get the hell out of me, I can do it myself.”

After speaking, he opened the door and left.

Savarin is very good at taking care of these experimental materials, and built a lot of nests for them during the ten days, which helped Carvey a lot.But this kind of character will also become a weakness when doing experiments, and being so sympathetic to the experimental materials will further affect the objectivity of the experiment.

Carvey is unwilling to use this kind of person, it is very troublesome.

But he had to use it.

For one thing, this person was appointed by Marcus, and after the dean nodded, resigning him would bring in a second Savarin, who might be even more difficult to deal with.

Secondly, in the corpse infection experiment, Savarin performed well. With a rigorous attitude towards science, he told Marcus the exact process and results of the experiment, but in exchange for it was Marcus' sarcasm.

Now there are two paths before Savarin, one is to cooperate well with Kavey, continue the experiment, and completely leave the obstetrics department.The second way is to sell Kavi and earn back his worth in front of Marcus.

Thirdly, that is what Carvey values ​​most. He needs an "objective" experimental result.

This kind of objectivity is not something he can really be "objective" by saying that he is objective with his red mouth and white teeth. The dean has made it clear that in such a medical world that is infiltrated by status, fame and fortune, if he wants to overthrow the old order, he must take every step. All impeccable.

So experiments are not allowed to be questioned.

Carvey already knew the results of the experiment.

Because as early as the 20s and 80s of the [-]th century, many scholars discovered that oxytocin can initiate the maternal behavior of female unconceived animals, and the animals began to build nests, lick unfamiliar cubs, and even send them back to the nest to take care of them.

This is the expression of the oxytocin hormone changing neural activity, causing the brain to undergo a mode switch and determining the formation of "maternity".

The results of the experiment are meaningless to him. What Carvey wants is only an "objective" process and corresponding records.

Savarin, who came from a "hostile" maternity ward, had nothing to do with Kawi before the experiment, and wasn't even an Austrian.If the experimental report written by him is consistent with the correct report, then the experimental data is convincing enough.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he will defect in the end.

If the experimental report is contrary to the correct result, it can only mean that Carvey stepped in a muddy hole and needs to find someone else.

What was before Carvey was not only the experiment, but the real priority, Nora's cesarean delivery.

If the experiment is wrong, it can be done again, as long as you give some money, the materials and oxytocin can be obtained, it is only a matter of time.But if Nora's cesarean goes wrong, Carvey loses a chance to really prove himself, and the surgeon gets discredited by Ignatz's streak of failures.

Originally, he didn't connect what Elina took care of him with Ignatz's state, but now it seems that there is indeed a problem.

It's just that the problem is going in a completely different direction than Carvey had imagined.

After Elena's outburst before, Ignatz did obey and went home, and gave up the position of Carvey's assistant to Hills, but the result was that the success rate of surgery dropped sharply.

Carvey, who also dedicated everything to the surgery, didn't think it was Ignatz himself who was playing tricks.

After ruling out this possibility, the only thing that makes sense is to rely on the spiritual aspect.

Carvey is well aware that long-term surgical operations require extremely high concentration. In order to maintain this concentration, doctors often need to actively abandon personal negative emotions.

There are basically two approaches.

One is like Carvey, who starts from the source of negative emotions, simplifies life, and minimizes the daily chores that disturb the mood.For him, "going home" means eating and sleeping, and it is an important rest time after busy work, which is essential.

This kind of method similar to becoming a monk works very well. There are many surgeons who do it like this, but after all, there are only a few who do it as thoroughly as Carvey.

And for young people, this kind of life is too simple to persist.

Therefore, more doctors will choose the second method, that is, to forget negative emotions by venting and stimulating, and make preparations before work while gaining happiness, killing two birds with one stone.For them, there are too many trivial things in the "home", which is the source of negative emotions, and "going home" means affecting work.

Ignatz falls into the latter category.

At that time, having a wife who was very assertive and whose family background was as good as his own was already a troublesome thing.

Kavi didn't care about his marital status. Nora was about to become a patient on the operating table, and she underwent her own examination. Disinfection and oxytocin experiments were also going on steadily. He didn't allow this operation to fail.

Therefore, the first thing Kavey thought of was to restore Ignatz to his original level, even if he really wanted to break up with Alina, he would not hesitate.

But by coincidence, Ignatz was not found throughout the whole noon, and I didn't see him until after Carvey came to the theater in the afternoon.But at this time, Ignatz was not as miserable as the dean said, and his mental outlook was the same as usual.

"Mr. Ignatz." Carvey bowed slightly, showing what an assistant should be like.

"The experiment is over?"

Ignatz's tone was a bit blamed, after all, Kavey couldn't be seen these days.He was either fiddling with field mouse cages in the lab or processing rabbit brains in another house, and no one knew what he was doing.

But at the same time, Ignatz also thanked Carvey for giving up the position of assistant. Hills's retention at least eased the precarious relationship between surgery and his marriage.

"It's over, and Savarin will continue to do it." Carvey said, "But whether you can go to the operating table or not depends on the arrangement of the teacher."

"It doesn't matter, Sears has already applied for the right to operate two surgeries with me, and you will be his assistant at that time." Ignatz handed the toolbox to Carvey, "According to your method, is it right? Clean it up first?"

"Didn't the teacher clean up in the previous operations?"

"No."

"Oh."

Carvey didn't show disappointment or helplessness, but just took out the bleach powder that had been prepared and turned it into disinfectant.

Immediately, the preparation room was filled with a pungent smell. 【2】

"This is the new gadget you got before?" Ignatz held his nose and frowned, "It smells too bad."

"It's just bleach, but it can effectively curb the wound ulcer after the operation." Carvey cleaned Ignatz's surgical equipment and said with a smile, "Didn't the teacher object to cleaning before, although he didn't stop me, but From time to time, I will say some rebuttals, how can I be so quiet today?"

Ignatz sighed: "Count Moraso's wound has almost healed."

Carvey smiled: "With the earl's good health, this is also expected. After the second dressing change, I said that he will definitely recover."

"Why switch to bleach when alcohol works so well?"

"Distilling high-concentration alcohol is too expensive, so a whole bottle costs a full 10 crowns." Carvey said, pointing to the two glass bottles he brought, "so it would be a waste to use it to clean utensils , It is better to use bleach. But if it is used on the body, the bleach will cause skin irritation and even burns, so alcohol must be used.”

Ignatz didn't bother to ask him where he learned this method, anyway, there was always only one answer, which was passed down from his father.

There is no solid theoretical basis and no rigorous experimental support. If it is replaced by a written description, Ignatz will never believe it.So Carvey didn't do this, and what he gave were all fresh cases of postoperative recovery.

And in the past ten days, because of the abandonment of Kavey's disinfection, the wounds of those patients who had succeeded in Ignatz's surgery had festered to varying degrees.

The fact itself is part of the experiment, Ignatz is willing to let go and let Kawi do it, who made Alphonse's rotten ass grow back.
After these days of downturn, there are rare vacancies in the surgical theater.The surgical operation that was open to everyone was so straightforward, and Ignatz's state immediately ushered in a backlash.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the theater of surgery."

Even after encountering such setbacks, he still kept smiling and started today's introduction: "Also welcome today's protagonist, the recognized number one sharp knifeman on Hoinz Street, Vienna's wild boar terminator, Fernand gentlemen."

At this time, two staff members in the theater pushed a cart and sent a strong man in coarse cloth to the operating table.

"Mr. Fernan, say hello to everyone~"

"Hi, everyone." The strong man smiled naively, "Remember to come to Hoinz Street to buy pork. The meat here is very cheap and can be processed for free."

"Okay, don't talk." The nurse stepped forward and put the anesthesia mask on his face, "The anesthesia has started."

"Mr. Fernan was deeply troubled by bladder stones, and he couldn't sleep because of the pain at night." Ignatz continued to introduce the operation to the audience, "Today, my assistant Carvey and I will help him completely relieve the pain. According to Mr. Nan's request, further improve the appearance of a certain part."

Carvey looked at the patient suspiciously: "Improve the appearance?"

"Doctor, Fernand has fallen asleep."

Ignatz nodded, turned around and lifted the blanket covering Fernan's body: "Today we are going to do bladder lithotripsy + baopi circumcision"【3】

Carvey:? ? ?
