Chapter 123: Explanation of Surgery
Cao Ying was extremely smart. Zhao Yan had already experienced this. He even complained that Cao Ying was too smart, which made him a husband very embarrassed. However, this time he used Cao Ying's intelligence. He first drew a picture of foot binding that he saw in later generations to attract Cao Ying's attention, and then deliberately did not talk about the breast tightening. He just kept talking about the bad habit of foot binding. In the end, it was not as expected. After just a few words, the smart Cao Ying had already thought of something.
"Husband, just say whatever you want, I will definitely consider it seriously!" Cao Ying looked at Zhao Yan with a smile and said. She probably guessed what Zhao Yan wanted to say, but now she wanted to hear Zhao Yan say it in person, because she felt that it would be very interesting to let Zhao Yan say it in person.
"I have nothing to say. I just want to discuss this medical issue with you. The growth of the human body has its own natural laws. If a part of the body is man-made to prevent the growth of part of the body, it will eventually become like painting these feet. It will not only be deformed and ugly, but also have a great impact on the body!" Zhao Yan said seriously. Before he understood Cao Ying's attitude, he was embarrassed to directly discuss the issue of breast tightening.
"Puff~" Cao Ying couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Zhao Yan's appearance. Then she stood up and smiled slightly at Zhao Yan, "Husband, wait a moment, I'll go!"
Cao Ying said and went straight into his bedroom, which made Zhao Yan stunned. He couldn't understand what Cao Ying was going to do. After a while, Cao Ying came out of the bedroom shyly, and then bowed to Zhao Yan with Yingying, "Do you hope I'm like this?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Yan was a little confused about what Cao Ying did in the bedroom, but as soon as he said that, he found that the clothes on Cao Ying's chest seemed to be much more fulfilling. Although the clothes she wore in winter were thicker, the girl's exquisite curves could be vaguely seen, which was a huge difference from her previous flat figure.
It turned out that Cao Ying had heard Zhao Yan’s implication before. He just entered the bedroom and removed the tights on his body. This surprised Zhao Yan very much. He thought he would take some verbal talk to convince Cao Ying, but he didn’t expect that Cao Ying would remove the tights so simply.
"This...this..." Seeing the changes in Cao Ying, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel hesitant. After a while, he tried to calm down and said, "It's not bad, it still looks comfortable like this. The lady must keep it in the future. Don't let yourself be wronged!"
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying couldn't help but smile again. In fact, she didn't like to tie her breasts. After all, her chest was tightly tied up by a strip of cloth, and it was uncomfortable to breathe. It was because of the pressure of her mother and the world that she had to do this. She just heard what Zhao Yan said, and thought of another thing, so she removed the tie without hesitation.
"Husband, I saw the paintings you painted before, some of which are plump. Do you like such women very much?" Cao Ying suddenly asked after being shy. She had been surprised by this before and didn't understand why Zhao Yan likes to draw women with huge chests. After hearing Zhao Yan's words, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the reason. This is one of the reasons why she removed her breast tightness without hesitation. After all, women are happy, and the fact that last year's breast tightness was much easier for her.
Zhao Yan didn't expect that Cao Ying was so smart. He guessed his thoughts from the beauties he had drawn before. He couldn't help but look embarrassed at the time. Fortunately, his skin was not as thick as he was. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. The key is that it will be very uncomfortable for you to tie your chest every day. And if you continue to do so, it may cause breast diseases. If you have breast cancer, even if you cut off your entire chest, you may not be able to save your life."
Zhao Yan has already developed the skills of wrong topics, especially dealing with Cao Ying. If you have anything you don’t want to say, just turning it into medical topics can definitely divert the other party’s attention.
Sure enough, Cao Ying immediately aroused interest when he heard Zhao Yan's words and said, "Husband, what is breast gland? What is breast cancer? Is there really such a big harm in breast binding?"
Seeing that even Cao Ying, a woman who is proficient in medical theory, did not know the severity of breast tightening, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh again that ancient medical technology was really backward. Then he took out a pen and drew a picture of a woman's breasts for Cao Ying, then explained the structure inside, and the harm of breast tightening. Simply put, it affects the woman's respiratory system, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply in the body. In addition, the long-term compression of the breasts causes breast dysplasia, affecting future beauty and breastfeeding, and even causing internal lumps, increasing the chance of breast cancer, etc.
As for breast cancer, Zhao Yan also gave a brief introduction. As a result, Cao Ying also felt chills all over her body. She had known before that some people were sick because they had something in their bodies, but she didn't expect that even women's breasts would have those things. In essence, these things are the same. According to Zhao Yan, they are tumors, and benign tumors are better, but if they are malignant tumors, it is the cancer that Zhao Yan just mentioned.
"Husband, if you have cancer, is it really helpless?" Cao Ying said curiously after hearing this. She had heard of this kind of cancer-like case from her grandfather, and there were almost no patients who could survive, so cancer is almost a terminal illness in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine.
"It is definitely not possible to rely on drugs alone. As far as I know, some cancers have mild symptoms and patients have better physical conditions, they can use surgical methods to remove the tumor. There are also some other treatment methods, but our Song Dynasty cannot do it at all. So if someone really gets cancer, it can almost be said to die." Zhao Yan explained patiently.
"Surgery? What is surgery?" Cao Ying asked curiously again when he heard a new term.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He found that he could not explain too much to Cao Ying, otherwise he would explain every time a new term appeared, so that it would be endless.
"How to say, surgery is actually a doctor using some equipment to perform treatments such as resection, suture, etc. on the patient. For example, in history, Hua Tuo was proficient in surgery. He could use a knife to remove the lesions in the human body to achieve the purpose of treatment. However, surgery is not something that everyone can do. First of all, you must be familiar with the internal structure of the human body. In addition, some equipment and medication assistance are required. Otherwise, if you perform surgery without preparation, it is only called murder rather than surgery." Zhao Yan explained patiently again, this time he was careful not to use new nouns.
"So those medical techniques in Hua Tuo's legendary existence?" Cao Ying also said incredible to herself when she heard this. Then she hugged Zhao Yan's arm very excitedly and asked, "Husband, since you know so much about surgery, do you also have surgery?"
Regarding Cao Ying's question, Zhao Yan replied with a wry smile: "Didn't I just say that some devices and drugs must be used for surgery, and the devices are easy to deal with. The key is that some drugs are not available in our Song Dynasty."
At least anesthetic is required for surgery, and some disinfection and anti-inflammatory drugs are needed afterwards, otherwise postoperative infection alone can make most patients die. Moreover, professional doctors are required for surgery. Although Zhao Yan has been attending the medical school for several years, at his level, it is difficult to perform a simple appendix surgery, let alone other more complicated surgeries.
Cao Ying was not discouraged when she heard Zhao Yan's words, but asked about some details about the operation again. Zhao Yan was quite helpless and had to answer patiently again.
In fact, it is not impossible to perform surgery in Dasong. Surgical instruments can be made by people. Some Chinese medicines can be used as anesthetics, and alcohol for disinfection can be made. Last time, Zhao Yan used distillation to make a batch of strong liquors that are very popular among the Liao people. It is not difficult to obtain medical alcohol. Finally, anti-inflammatory drugs taken by patients after the operation. After all, external anti-inflammatory drugs alone cannot meet the requirements. Unfortunately, whether it is penicillin or cephalosporin drugs, they are not something that Zhao Yan can do now. I just don’t know if there are any drugs that traditional Chinese medicine can replace in this regard?
In the next few days, Zhao Yan was pulled to the room by Cao Ying to discuss the operation almost every day as soon as she opened her eyes. Cao Ying had already known the principle of the operation. What she was interested in was the internal structure of the human body that Zhao Yan knew. Influenced by the custom of "the dead is the greatest" in the Central Plains culture, it was almost impossible for traditional Chinese medicine to deal with corpses. This also made traditional Chinese medicine have little understanding of the internal structure of the human body, and it was even worse than those coroners who performed corpses in the yamen. Now Cao Ying suddenly found that Zhao Yan was also very proficient in this aspect, and these were compulsory courses for surgery, so she began to be interested in this aspect, and even asked Zhao Yan to draw diagrams of various parts of the human body and give them to her grandfather in the future as a gift.
During this period, Cao Song and Hu Yanping came again. They came to tell Zhao Yan that Cao Song's plan to break off the engagement was finally successful. The Prince of Runan was very satisfied when he saw the first portrait of Cao Song. Unfortunately, Cao Song secretly transferred the bag to the little princess, and the one handed it to the hand of another painting.
Seeing the vulgar Cao Song in the portrait, the little princess with high vision firmly disagreed with the engagement, but the marriage turned out to be so bad. Cao Song decided to invite Zhao Yan to a special place to express his gratitude. Zhao Yan also wanted to go out for a walk, so he agreed happily, but unfortunately he didn't know that it was because of Cao Song that caused him a lot of trouble.r1152
