Chapter 176: Pioneers of surgery

Shangwen hurried back to his residence quickly, and when Shangwen entered his room, Shangwen saw the strange old man sitting in the house.

Hey, isn't this old man the old man named Wei from the other day? Shang Wen murmured in his heart.

"Are you?" Shang Wen stepped forward and bowed. Asked suspiciously.

"I, I am the one who treated you that day. You don't know me anymore." The old man asked in surprise.

"No, no. How can the savior not remember that? I just don't know the specific name of your old man." Shang Wen said embarrassedly.

"Oh, it turned out to be like this, it's okay, it's okay." Old man Wei said, shaking his hand.

"I don't know. What is the name of the old man?" Shang Wen asked quickly.

"I, I, my name is Wei Tongyi" the old man said loudly.

"Oh." Shang Wen nodded and suddenly realized. Why is it such a strange name. Strange. The name is also strange.

"Hey, what's the matter with the surgery you mentioned that day? I haven't been able to sleep well or eat well these days. I have looked for you several times, but I haven't seen you. This time I am finally waiting for you. Tell me quickly." Wei Tong grabbed Shang Shang Wen's hand as if Shang Wen could run away.

"This, surgery." How does Shangwen know what's going on, can he tell him with a large dictionary?

"Yeah, come on. In fact, I think you and I are all the same. My master’s master’s master began to study such a strange medicine. As early as Zhou Tianzi, my master discovered that through simple Bloodletting can cure some cold and heat diseases. This pathology is probably to speed up the circulation of this blood. In short, my master’s master started to study this pathology and began to try to treat some other diseases through this method." The old man shook his head and said.

Hearing a headache, Shangwen had to sit down, holding his head in his hands and reluctantly listening.

"Later, my master began to concentrate on research. I found that holding a sharp knife and cutting the pain of the patient can also find out the cure, but most of the cured patients died." Old man Wei shook his head helplessly. .

Nonsense, can it be done without any disinfection measures? Just like this, it's not to blame for human life. On the contrary, those who can live are called miracles.

"But my master, master, continued to study, and as a result, many people died. He was finally punished by Zhou Tianzi as a felony. This skill was passed on to my next master." Old man Wei continued.

"Nonsense. This kind of research method is undead." Shang Wen whispered.

"It's true." Old man Wei suddenly came over and said. The scared Shang Wenxin almost jumped out.

"So, your masters, gradually invented the disinfection procedure." Shang Wen said.

"Disinfection, what disinfection?" Old man Wei said.

"It is to use high temperature, such as steaming, without alcohol. Kill bacteria. What you need to know. This is an operation, which needs to penetrate into the human skin." Shang Wen shuddered when he thought of surgery.

"Yes, yes. That's how it is, but what kind of alcohol is this? Is it enough to use alcohol?" Old man Wei asked puzzled.

"Yes." Shang Wen didn't want to explain too much. After all, my medical knowledge is half a catty compared to the old man's pioneer who actually performed surgery. It's almost the same.

"Then you can tell me more specifically." Old man Wei asked anxiously.

"Good, good." Shang Wen said helplessly.

"This surgery is almost the same as what you did. But speaking of it, your department will be inseparable from us who make weapons in the future." Shang Wen suddenly thought of something and said.

"We who make weapons, the weapons we make today have amazing lethality, and they are very difficult to deal with." Shang Wen said with gestures.

"For example, if this bullet passes through your body, it passes through. Fortune-telling is big. At most, it will be bandaged. It will stop the bleeding and still have a chance to survive. As long as it is not infected, but if the bullet stays in your body, it will be miserable. The bullets are all lead and tin. If it stays in the body for a long time, if you don't take it out, it will hurt to death." Shang Wen said with some horror.

"It's nothing, my masters, after being driven out from the emperor, they all make a living on the battlefield." Old man Wei said indifferently.

"At that time, there was also frequent fighting. Those of us who were doctors were fortunate to make a living. We have done all kinds of cuts and stabs," the old man said slowly. It seems that I have seen some great world.

"Oh, that's how it is." Shang Wen knew in his heart why surgical operations were able to appear in this era. The war promoted the development of this discipline. Frequent wars have caused a sharp increase in the number of casualties on the battlefield. And these people urgently need chronic treatments other than traditional medicine jars, replaced by quick treatments. For example, rapid pain relief and bleeding. Eliminate the infection. In ancient wars, military doctors were the closest to surgery. It is estimated that this old man's master is such a person. This is not a tradition, but a division of subjects caused by actual needs. There is no difference between Chinese and Western. It is caused by demand. The best example is Hua Tuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The prolonged war led to the emergence of Ma Fei San, an anesthetic. From the side, it is a fact that surgery had already appeared in that era. But did not expect. In the Warring States Period, I actually saw the embryonic form of surgery. War is really a catalyst for science and technology. The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union brought human science and technology forward twenty years in advance. A large number of casualties on the battlefield have accumulated a large amount of medical practice. Thinking about it, this is true. After each war, the medical level of mankind will always improve by leaps and bounds.

"Hey, hey. Why don't you speak anymore." Old man Wei pushed the pensive Shangwen.

"Oh, it's nothing." Shang Wen slowed down and said.

"Not enough, you will be very useful in the future." Shang Wen said this sentence abruptly.

"Now it's useful enough. Before I came to Qin, I was a wandering military doctor. Wherever there is war, there will be lunatics of our guard." Old man Wei said.

"I heard that the State of Qin and the Huns were fighting, so I hurried to the State of Qin. Unexpectedly, I was fishing for everything. Later, I heard that the State of Yan and State of Zhao were fighting. I was ready to go there. Eat. The result. Now I have the title of Qin State." Old man Wei said to himself.

"To be honest, you have to research medicine as soon as possible. Otherwise, more people will die in the future." Shang Wen said while looking at the old man Wei.
