Chapter 312 Human Anatomy

Just thinking about it, Sister Li came in and asked if she would start "teaching"—she was the mother of a mother and daughter brought back by Zhang Xingjiao. Work and chores.Because she has been refusing to reveal what her name is, everyone calls her as Sister Li.

"Well, I'll go right away." Shi Yan Ren extinguished the cigarette butt.

The dissecting room is located in the semi-basement of Bairen General Hospital. It has no windows except for a few transoms that are closed by shutters. Outsiders can't see anything at all if they want to peek through the shutters.The door is closed all the time, and no one can open it except Shi Youren.The purpose of doing this is of course confidentiality.Human anatomy is still a taboo for many Chinese until the 21st century, and family members absolutely disagree unless it is absolutely necessary.Let alone in this day and age.

When Shi Yanren came to a room, the hippopotamus had already arrived. As an anatomy assistant, he also practiced surgical skills by the way.

He opened the usually locked door, led people down the stairs, and turned on the fluorescent lamp.At the end of the stairs is a corridor.Because there are not enough tiles available, the surface is still simple cement, and the fluorescent lamps emit a pale light overhead.

There was a smell of disinfectant in the air.

The autopsy sheet for the corpse has already been prepared.Shi Yanren demanded that this place be the same as the hospital in the 21st century, with meticulous procedures.He checked the list and found out that this person was called Chen Yabao and his age was unknown.He was pushed here on a cart, ready to be scalped by the doctors.

The anatomy room is not too big, about [-] square meters, surrounded by stepped wooden stands for future interns and nurses to watch the dissection, and it can seat about [-] people if it is full.

The room is equipped with ventilation equipment which is quite extravagant for the traveling people, which is rare.In the center of the room is a rectangular dissecting table made of reinforced concrete and covered with tiles.Chuanzhong's own porcelain kiln has not yet started, and the veneered square tiles are custom-made by businessmen in Fujian-the kilns there need years of experience in customizing foreign porcelain, and it is easier to trial-manufacture new products.The tiles made are indeed "tiles" - not glazed on the surface, but a real "porcelain tile".

Travelers do not know that ceramic tiles were manufactured in porcelain kilns in the Ming Dynasty. The most famous "tiles" left to this day are the paving tiles of the Dabaoen Temple Pagoda in Nanjing - blue and white porcelain.

There are many grooves on the plane of the dissecting table, equipped with a faucet and a hose for spraying, which can continuously rinse the corpse during the dissection.

Near the end of the dissecting table, there is a material cabinet, in which various dissecting equipment and sampling containers are placed in layers.There are preparation rooms and specimen storage rooms next to the dissection room.

It took a lot of effort to get the approval of the executive committee to build such an anatomy room—this is not to build a pharmacy or an operating room, which can immediately show the immediate effect of the executive committee, but it is An important cornerstone for the reconstruction of modern medicine in this time and place.

The lighting in the whole room is very bright enough to see all the details on the dissecting table.

On the dissecting table was a corpse covered with a coarse white cloth, which had just been brought down by a special winch.The deceased was a farmer working on the infrastructure construction site of Bairen City, who died suddenly while working.He was not a local, so the body fell into the hands of the hospital.There are not many opportunities like this—the biggest headache for Shi Yanren is that he cannot preserve the source of corpses.There is no shortage of corpses in this time and space. Sometimes after a battle, they can be said to be all over the place, but they can't keep them. They don't have cold storage or enough preservatives.And the high temperature is always not low.Had to find one and use one.

The hippo first changed into clothes, latex gloves and a mask.Remove the white cloth.The deceased was still a young man, very thin.The muscles and tendons are developed and powerful, and there are varicose veins on the calves and arms. It is obvious that they have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time.

The hippo tucks a pillow under the neck of the corpse and positions its arms.Shi Youren laid out the dissecting instruments they needed: scalpels, rib scissors, clamps, skull-breaking saws... everything was cleaned very clean.But it does not have to be strictly sterilized like surgical instruments.There is no need to worry about patients being infected here, and doctors only need to pay attention to their own safety.

"The little nurses will be here in a while," said Hippo.

Shi Yuren teased him: "Do you feel very excited to dissect in front of them?"

"They don't want me to be a cannibal." Hippo smiled wryly. "Although people in modern society can't accept dissection emotionally, at least they know that it's good for medicine. Here?"

"Should we take it slowly? The change of concept does not happen overnight. They are the seeds of modern medicine." Shi Yuren said while picking up a four-page anatomy analysis sheet, reading it while saying.

"What was the cause of death?"

"Sudden death. Probably coronary heart disease or something." Hippo said.

"Coronary heart disease is rare in this time and space. What's more, he is still young." Shi Yuren looked at the young but gray face, "He is very thin. Slightly malnourished."

"I'll fill in the records of the corpse." Hippo took the folder.

As he wrote, he muttered to himself, "There's a traumatic scar on my left arm," and he swung that arm aside, saying, "I'm sorry, dude." Note: "Minor muscle rigidity." Open Eyelids, write: "The pupil is equal to the circle, with a diameter of 0.3 cm." He then pried open the already stiff jaw and said, "Look at the teeth."

There were footsteps in the corridor outside.The door of the dissecting room opened, and Ai Beibei came.

"They're here." There was a group of young women behind her, all of whom were the best nurses, and they were the orphans that the traversers were most willing to poison.Shi Youren prepared to train them to be doctors, and even taught them some basic medical Latin.

"Good morning," Ai Beibei greeted. "Come in, all of you."

The nurses stood in a row at the door, a total of six people.When they walked into the room, they all glanced nervously at the corpse on the table.

They have served in the health department for several months, are used to seeing various scenes, and have also participated in the collection of corpses.Sores, bloody limbs, rotting flesh...these scenes and smells have slowly gotten used to, but it is the first time to watch a human dissection.

"Everyone wear a mask and sit down, don't move around."

Shi Youren admired these girls one by one.Guo Fu also came.This is one of his favorite nurses.Although she is young, her enthusiasm and ability in nursing work are stronger than many older girls.Especially not afraid of dirty, not afraid of blood, and not superstitious.

The girls were a little nervous when they saw the corpses, although they had seen quite a few of them.But this is the first time to see a live "autopsy".It's just like the scary wall chart that I saw in class -- only this time it's a real cut-up of a person for people to see.

Guo Fu was worried about how she would react.Now she already felt a little strange in her heart.As a nurse, she was used to seeing dead people, but autopsies were a new and frightening experience for her at the moment.

"Morning." Ai Beibei greeted them, walked straight to the dressing room, took off her white robe, put on a mask, took a coat from the shelf, and stretched her arms into the sleeves.When she was putting on the coat, Niao Ren graciously helped her fasten the belt on the back of the coat.Then, as if they had rehearsed, the two walked to the washbasin one after the other, after washing their hands.Ai Beibei picked up a tube of talcum powder and sprinkled it on Shi Niaoren's hands, and then held up a pair of latex gloves, and Doctor Shi put his fingers in, without saying a word.

Shi Yanren walked to the dissecting table, took the paper folder from Hippo, and focused on it.At this time, Shi Yanren didn't even look at the corpse on the table.Hippo secretly observed the professor's movements, and suddenly felt that the scene was very similar to the scene when the conductor of a symphony orchestra came to the stage, except that the audience's applause was missing.

Ai Beibei climbed up the wooden ladder on the side of the dissecting table, and took a picture of the corpse condescendingly.

"This is the corpse of a young male," Ai Beibei said, "normal development, mild malnutrition, thin body..."

Based on these signs, Shi Youren analyzed the deceased's hairstyle, appearance, degree of tooth wear, and the healing of the skull sutures, etc., and then said:

"The deceased was an unmarried young man between the ages of 23 and 26." Then he turned to the nurses and said, "This is the first time you've seen an autopsy, isn't it?"

"Yes, Dean." The girls answered in unison.

Shi Yanren nodded. "Today we are performing a general dissection. The reason for dissecting this person." He pointed to the corpse on the dissection table, "is to allow us doctors to clearly understand the structure and state of the human body. At the same time, we know why they and die."

Shi Yanren pointed to the wall behind him, and said to the girls: "Please read the words on the wall."

The eyes of the girls followed his hand to the wall, a motto written in black ink on the white plastered wall.

Mortui Vivos Do-cent.

Shi Youren read this Latin sentence aloud, and then translated it: "The dead teach the living." He turned his eyes back to the corpse.

"The person on the dissecting table died suddenly during labor. He didn't have any symptoms before. We call it sudden death." He glanced at the girls majesticly, and when he saw them staring at him with breathless eyes, he said: It's like the graduate students he brought up in the past—who would have imagined that they were still waiting to be sold as slaves or begging on the streets in the human market in Guangzhou more than half a year ago.

"We will now analyze the cause of his sudden death from the autopsy."

After saying this, Shi Yanren checked the set of dissecting instruments in front of him and chose a scalpel.He glanced at the place where the knife was cut with his eyes, and then cleanly plunged the sharp knife deep into the corpse.

When the knife went down, a girl screamed and was immediately scolded by Ai Beibei.

Hippo secretly observes the nursing school students.He knew that people with soft hearts and cleanliness would not be able to watch autopsies.Even experienced people are reluctant to see the first cut.So far, the corpse on the table still looks a little like a living person.

But with the first cut, there are no illusions anymore.The corpse has lost all dignity as a human being.Whatever it was once a man, woman, or child, is now nothing but a mass of bones and flesh, lymph and blood vessels.

Shi Yanren did not do much dissection in the past because he was engaged in research work.But after D-Day, he knew that there would be a long way to go to perform the surgery, so he would pull whenever there was a corpse.The proficient knife technique that has been honed again.The knife is like flowing water, and the dissection is started calmly and quickly.

From the corpse's shoulders down, he made two cuts with the knife. The cuts met at the bottom of the chest cavity, and then cut from here to the genitals, opening the abdominal cavity.The three knives form a "Y" upright.When the knife was cut, there was only a sound of "pushing", and the skin was torn apart. According to Shi Youren's anatomical experience, modern people with overnutrition would have a layer of yellow fat here as usual, but this person didn't have it—he was really lean and lean. .

Both Hippo and Ai Beibei were watching the expressions of the female nurses.Three of them turned pale, the other vomited and turned away; the other two were holding on and did not move.

It stands to reason that this group of senior nurses has seen many strange-looking corpses with guts piercing their intestines.When the pirates attacked Bopu, all the students of the first batch of health school at that time went out to collect the corpses, the purpose was to practice courage.Although they vomited in the dark at that time, and had nightmares and screams in the dormitory at night, as time passed, they gradually got used to it—people in this time and space have a stronger or more numb attitude towards death.

Ai Beibei clapped her hands: "Anyone who wants to go out for a few minutes is fine. I can't help but go outside and vomit."

But no one moved.The dissection paused for a while, and did not continue until everyone had gotten used to it.

Now Hippo puts on his gloves and works with Shi Youren.The professor began by picking the skin away from the ribs with a larger scalpel, peeling it away quickly.A pair of sharp rib scissors is then used to cut the ribs to expose the pericardium and lung lobes.Gloves, scalpels and tables were covered in blood.Ai Beibei turned on the tap and began to rinse with a hose.

On the other side of the table, the hippopotamus cut open the lower muscle, opening the abdominal cavity.

"This is the stomach..."

Shi Yanren explained, and following the explanation, the hippopotamus extracted the stomach and intestines from the abdominal cavity, put them in shallow stainless steel dishes and showed them to the nurses, and then checked for specific lesions, and then put them into glass jars.Because the amount of formaldehyde that can be produced by the chemical industry department is still very small, he does not plan to produce too many human specimens for the time being.

Shi Yanren explained while dissecting, and soon the room was filled with a strong smell of blood and stench.Ai Beibei turned on the ventilation switch, and the smell in the room got better.
