Just as she was thinking about it, Sister Li walked in and asked if she wanted to start "teaching" - she was the mother of a mother and daughter brought back by Zhang Xingjiao. Although she was older, she could read and was sent to the hospital to work in administration.
Work and chores. Because she has never revealed her name, everyone calls her Sister Li.
"Well, I'll go right away." Shi Niaoren put out the cigarette butt.
The anatomy room is located in the semi-basement of Bairen General Hospital. There are no windows except for a few transom windows closed by blinds. Outsiders cannot see anything if they want to peek through the blinds. The door is always closed.
, no one can open the door except Shi Niaoren. The purpose of this is naturally to keep it confidential. Human anatomy is still a taboo for many Chinese people until the 21st century. Family members will never agree unless it is a last resort. Let alone in this era.
.
When Niao Ren came to a room, Hippo had already arrived. As an anatomy assistant, he also practiced surgical skills.
He opened the usually locked door, led people down the stairs, and turned on the fluorescent lights. At the end of the stairs was a corridor. Because there were not enough ceramic tiles available, the surface was still simple cement, and the fluorescent lights emitted a pale light overhead.
There was a smell of disinfectant in the air.
The autopsy order for the corpse has been issued. Shi Niaoren requested that the procedures here be the same as those in the 21st century hospital. He flipped through the order and found out that the man's name was Chen Yabao and his age was unknown. He was pushed here on a trolley and prepared to undergo an autopsy.
Doctors' scalpels.
The anatomy room is not too big, about 60 square meters, and is surrounded by wooden terraced stands for future intern doctors and nurses to watch the anatomy. If it is full, it can accommodate about thirty people.
The room is rarely equipped with ventilation equipment that is quite luxurious for Chuanzhong. In the center of the room is a rectangular dissecting table made of reinforced concrete and covered with ceramic tiles. Chuanzhong's own porcelain kiln has not yet started construction, and the square tiles are veneer.
It was customized by merchants in Fujian - the kilns there have many years of experience in customizing foreign porcelain, so it is easier to try out new products. The tiles made are indeed "ceramic tiles" - not with glaze on the surface, but a real "tile"
Porcelain tiles".
People who travel through time do not know that ceramic tiles were already manufactured in the porcelain kilns of the Ming Dynasty. The most famous "ceramic tiles" left to this day are the floor tiles of the Dabaoen Temple Pagoda in Nanjing - they are also made of blue and white porcelain.
There are many grooves on the surface of the dissecting table, equipped with a faucet and a spray hose, which can continuously wash the body during dissection.
Near the end of the dissecting table, there is a material cabinet, which is layered with various dissecting equipment and sampling containers. Next to the dissecting room there is a preparation room and specimen storage room.
It took Shi Niaoren 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 to the executive committee, but it is
An important foundation stone for the reconstruction of modern medicine in this time and space.
The light in the entire room is very bright, enough to see all the details on the dissection table.
There was a corpse covered with a coarse white cloth on the autopsy table, which had just been brought down with a special winch. The deceased was a farmer working on the Bairencheng infrastructure construction site. He died suddenly while working. He was not a local.
, so the corpses can fall into the hands of the hospital. There are not many such opportunities - Shi Niaoren's biggest headache is that he cannot preserve the source of the corpses. There is no shortage of corpses in this time and space. Sometimes after a battle, it can be said that the ground is full of corpses.
They were all there, but they couldn't keep them. They didn't have a cold storage or enough preservatives. And the temperature was always high in the city, so they had to find one and use it one at a time.
The hippopotamus first changed into clothes, put on latex gloves and a mask, and then opened up the white cloth. The deceased was still a young man, very thin, but his muscles and tendons were well developed and strong. There were varicose veins on his calves and arms. He had obviously been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time.
people.
The hippopotamus stuffed a pillow under the body's neck and positioned its arms. Shi Niaoren laid out the dissecting instruments they needed: scalpels, rib scissors, clamps, skull-breaking saws... everything was cleaned very well.
It's clean. But it doesn't have to be strictly sterilized like surgical operating room instruments. There's no need to worry about patient infection here, doctors just need to pay attention to their own safety.
"The nurses will be here in a while," said the hippopotamus.
Shi Niaoren teased him: "Do you find it exciting to dissect in front of them?"
"I wish they didn't regard me as a cannibal demon." Hippo said with a bitter smile, "Although people in modern society cannot emotionally accept anatomy, at least they know that it is something beneficial to medicine. Here?"
"Do you want to take it slow? Concepts don't change overnight. They are the seeds of modern medicine." Shi Niaoren said, picking up a four-page anatomy analysis sheet and reading it.
"What was the cause of death?"
"Sudden death. Probably coronary heart disease or something like that." Hippo said.
"In this time and space, coronary heart disease is rare. Besides, he is still young." Shi Niaoren looked at the young but gray face, "He is very thin and slightly malnourished."
"I'll fill in the corpse status record." Hippo took the folder.
He muttered to himself as he wrote: "There's a trauma scar on the left arm." He moved the arm to the side and said, "Sorry, man." He wrote down: "Mild muscle rigidity." Turn over.
On the eyelids, he wrote: "The pupils are round, with a diameter of 0.3 cm." He then pried open the already stiff jawbone and said, "Look at the teeth."
There were footsteps in the corridor outside. The door of the anatomy room opened, and it was Ai Beibei.
"Here they come." Behind her were a group of young women, all of whom were outstanding nurses and the orphans that the time travelers were most willing to poison. Shi Niaoren planned to train them to become doctors and even taught them some
Basic medical Latin.
"Good morning," Ai Beibei greeted. "You all come in."
The nurses stood in a row at the door, six of them in total. When they walked into the room, they all glanced nervously at the body on the table.
They have been working in the health department for several months. They are used to seeing various scenes and have also participated in collecting corpses. They have slowly adapted to the sores, bloody limbs, rotting flesh... these scenes and smells, but after watching
This is the first time for a human dissection.
"Everyone put on your mask and sit down, don't move around."
Shi Niaoren 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 better than many older women.
The child must be strong. In particular, he must not be afraid of dirt or blood, and he must not be superstitious at all.
The girls were a little nervous when they saw the corpse. Although they had seen it a lot, this was the first time they had to see a live "autopsy". It was just like the scary wall chart they saw in class -
―Only this time, the person was actually cut open and shown to people.
Guo Fu was very worried about how she would react. Now she felt something strange in her heart. As a nurse, she was used to seeing dead people, but for her, autopsy was still a new and terrifying experience.
"Morning." Ai Beibei greeted them, went straight to the dressing room, took off her white robe, put on a mask, took a coat from the rack, put her arms into the sleeves, and curled up while putting on her coat.
Ren diligently helped her fasten the straps on the back of her coat. Then, as if they had rehearsed, the two people walked to the wash basin one after another. After washing their hands, Aibei picked up a tube of talc.
The powder was sprinkled on Shi Niaoren's hand, and he held up a pair of latex gloves. Doctor Shi put his fingers in, all without saying a word.
Shi Niaoren walked to the dissecting table, took the paper folder from Hippo, and concentrated on looking at it. Shi Niaoren didn't even look at the corpse on the table at this time. Hippo secretly observed the professor's movements, and suddenly felt
This scene is very similar to the scene when the conductor of a symphony orchestra takes the stage, but it lacks the applause of the audience.
Aibei climbed up the wooden ladder on the side of the autopsy table and took a photo of the corpse from a high position.
"This is the body of a young male," Aibeibe said. "It developed normally, was slightly malnourished, and was thin..."
Based on these physical signs, Shi Niaoren analyzed the deceased's hairstyle, appearance, degree of tooth wear and skull suture healing, and then said:
"The deceased was an unmarried young man, aged between twenty-three and twenty-six years old." Then he turned to the young nurses and said, "This is the first time you have seen an autopsy, right?"
"Yes, Dean." the girls replied in unison.
Shi Niaoren nodded. "Today we are conducting a gross anatomy. The reason why we need to dissect this person." He pointed to the corpse on the dissecting table, "is so that we doctors can clearly understand the structure and structure of the human body."
status. Also know why they died."
Shi Niaoren pointed at the wall behind him and said to the girls: "Please read the words on the wall."
The girls' eyes followed his hand to a motto written in black ink on the white wall.
mortui vivos do-cent.
Shi Niaoren read this Latin sentence aloud, and then translated it and said: "The dead educate the living." He returned his gaze to the corpse.
"The man on the autopsy table died suddenly while working. He had no symptoms of illness before. We call it sudden death." He glanced at the girls majestically, and when he saw them looking at him with bated breath, he said
Just like the graduate students he taught in the past - who would have imagined that they were still waiting to be sold into slavery in Guangzhou's market more than half a year ago or staggering around begging on the streets.
"We will now analyze the cause of his sudden death from the autopsy."
After saying this, Shi Niaoren checked the set of dissecting instruments in front of him and chose a scalpel. He scanned the area where the scalpel was to be cut with his eyes, and then cleanly inserted the sharp knife deep into the
It penetrated deeply into the body.
When the knife went down, one of the girls screamed and was immediately scolded by Ai Beibei.
Hippo secretly observed the nursing students. He knew that people with too soft hearts and mysophobia would not be able to watch the autopsy. Even people with some experience were not willing to watch the first incision. Up to this point,
The corpse on the table still looks a bit like a living person.
But after the first incision, there was no longer any illusion. The corpse had lost all dignity as a human being. No matter it had been a man, a woman, or a child, it was now just a pile of bones and flesh, lymph and blood vessels.
Because Shi Niaoren was engaged in research work, he had not done much dissection in the past. However, after the D-day, he knew that there would be a long way to go to perform surgeries in the future, so he cut and pulled as soon as there was a corpse. He also re-trained his skillful knife skills.
The dissection began calmly and quickly.
He made two cuts with a knife from the shoulders of the corpse downwards. The knife edges met at the bottom of the chest. Then he cut from here to the genitals and opened the abdominal cavity. The three knifes formed a "y" squarely. When the knife was cut,
, only a "pop" sound was heard, and the skin and flesh were torn open. According to Shi Niaoren's anatomy experience, modern people with overnutrition will usually have a layer of yellow fat here, but this person did not - he was really lean and lean.
Hippo and Ai Beibei were both looking at the expressions of the female nurses. Three of them had turned pale, another vomited and turned away; the other two were holding on and did not move.
It stands to reason that their group of senior nurses have seen a lot of strange-looking corpses with intestinal bleeding. When the pirates attacked Bo Pu, all the students from the first phase of the medical school went out to collect the corpses for the purpose of practicing courage. Although they were vomiting at the time
It was dark and dark, and they had nightmares and screams in the dormitory at night, but over time, they gradually got used to it - people in this time and space have a much stronger or more indifferent attitude towards death.
Aibei clapped her hands: "Whoever wants to go out for a few minutes can do it. I can't help but go outside to vomit."
But no one moved. The dissection stopped for a while until everyone got used to it before continuing.
Now the hippopotamus put on his own gloves and worked with Shi Niaoren. The professor began to use a larger scalpel to peel the skin away from the ribs and quickly peel it off. Then he used a sharp pair of rib scissors to cut off the ribs to expose the pericardium and lung lobes.
The gloves, scalpel and table were covered with blood. Ai Beibei turned on the faucet and started rinsing with a hose.
On the other side of the table, the hippopotamus cut open the lower muscle and opened its abdominal cavity.
"This is the stomach..."
Shi Niaoren explained. As he explained, the hippo extracted the stomach and intestines from the abdominal cavity, placed them in a stainless steel shallow dish and showed them to the nurses. Then they checked for specific lesions and put them into a glass jar.
Because the amount of formaldehyde that the chemical industry department can produce is still very small, he does not plan to produce too many human specimens for the time being.
Shi Niaoren explained and dissected at the same time, and soon the room was filled with a strong smell of blood and stench. Aibei turned on the ventilation switch, and the smell in the room became better.
