Kawei had thought of this method a week ago and successfully got the news about Ignatz's outing from one of the coachmen.
In fact, the place Ignatz went to by carriage was not fixed every time. From the map, the location was deliberately scattered among three blocks.
If there are not many times, these location points will appear scattered and it will be difficult to find common points. Unfortunately, Ignatz had been there too many times, and because of some habits, he was particularly fond of certain points, so Kawei quickly sketched out a general range.
The distance between the points is about 1-2 kilometers. This is a suitable distance that does not seem close but is not tiring to walk. In the middle of these points is Ignatz's destination.
"Hoints..."
Kawei looked at a map in Ignatz's office and didn't know how to tell Alina about it: "That place is not serious."
What is not serious is nothing more than the three major items, pornography, gambling and drugs.
The bet is definitely not on the cards. More than half of Ignatz's money is in the bank earning interest, and the rest is spent on work. Buying cadavers, getting equipment, studying medical journals and surgical atlases all require money, and the amount of money at one's disposal is not high.
If it is poisonous, it is actually the norm due to age factors.
At the current level of pharmacology, even if there are voices of doubt, medical textbooks, medical journals, and almost everyone who has studied medicine cannot deny its efficacy. Ignatz is under so much pressure, so it's normal to have some stress, and there's no need to hide it from others.
There was a bottle in his desk drawer, and although it was locked, Kawei had indeed seen it last time. .
Then all that's left is yellow.
Staying out and not going home already proves something. It doesn't matter which one it is. Anyway, there are too many places like this in the whole Hoints Street, so there is no need to go into detail.
Of course, Kawei couldn't completely deny Hoints Street. After all, Mick had been there, and so had Berget, Hans, and himself. Just going to the same area over and over again, and doing so at night, is quite suspicious.
Kawei didn't want anything to happen to Ignatz. After all, he relied on this teacher to take care of him after he came here. He was not a person who didn't repay his kindness.
But judging from Alina's attitude, I'm afraid she won't give up until his background is revealed. Paper can't contain the fire. Seeing that it has been hidden for so long, it has reached its limit.
Now Kavi just hopes that this trivial matter of daily life will not affect Nora's cesarean section. This operation is not only related to the life and death of Nora's mother and child, but also related to the honor of the entire Department of Surgery of the Municipal General Hospital.
If both mother and child can be safe, it will be a great success that will shock the whole of Europe, and Varela's so-called innovation that has been stuck on Ignatz's neck will have to be put aside.
However, the chance of success is very low. Kawei is just an assistant. In major operations such as cesarean section, he can only be ranked behind Hills and Herman. His role is limited, and he does not expect this kind of success.
In his opinion, even if only Nora survives, it can be considered a success. At least it can silence Marcus next door and maintain the status quo with peace of mind.
Even if the operation really fails, it must fail beautifully. At least he can leave the scene as a hard worker, instead of being caught by his wife and making people laugh in the end...
He has seen too many cases of failed surgeries due to "backyard fires" at home. Some were caused by themselves, parents, wives, children, and various relatives. But when it comes to the final appraisal, these mistakes will only be attributed to the surgeon's skills.
Kawei folded the map as it was and stuffed it into the drawer: "Should I hide it, I still have to hide it. Fortunately, I coaxed her back. Let's have a good talk with Ignatz in the evening."
...
No matter what Ignatz was doing outside, Kawei couldn't control it, and he didn't bother to do it. He could only say a few words to let the other party pay attention.
All he could manage was the post-operative care of the patients in the ward and his own laboratory.
The effect of oxytocin is obvious, and Savarin did record the experimental process exactly as it was. In addition to the observation group 1, the suckling mice in the control group and observation groups 2 and 3 received varying degrees of care.
"The suckling rats in Group 1..." Savarin couldn't face the reality. "Four suckling rats died and one was disabled. Casey was really too irritable."
Kawei glanced at the cage and his reaction was quite bland: "Oh."
Savarin's eyes were full of sadness: "They are dead, they were bitten to death."
"Beasts, it's normal." Kawei gave him a look in return, which was enough, "Didn't you realize that the injected reagent can stimulate their maternal nature?"
"...It can be seen." Savarin had to admit that oxytocin is quite miraculous. "I recorded the maternal behaviors of Rachel and Mary in the notebook. They would put the children in the nest and take good care of them. , and they would try to attack me when I went to breastfeed.”
Kawei looked at the contents of the standardized experiment records and nodded repeatedly: "I took the records, and you can continue with the experiment below."
"Still doing it?"
"Of course." Kawei didn't have time to chat with him about something futile, so he said directly, "All the remaining suckling rats will be taken care of by the female rats that have given birth to minimize their mortality. The remaining female rats hurriedly and male If rats live in the same cage, they must continue to live."
"Kathy, Rachel, and Mary all have to live?"
"...Isn't this nonsense?" Kawei frowned and looked at him, and couldn't help but complain, "I'm not your fiancée, why are you feeling uncomfortable here?"
Savarin couldn't convince him, so he could only nod: "Okay, we'll stay in the same cage."
Kawei carefully inspected the three female rats that had undergone the previous round of experiments, and said with concern: "The injection you gave Mary was 1ml, right?"
"right."
"1ml..."
Theoretically speaking, 1 ml of modern oxytocin is equivalent to 10 units (there are also 5 units with different specifications). In addition, vasopressin is mixed with it, which is fatal to an animal of the size of a vole.
Therefore, the oxytocin used in Kawei's experiment was diluted, while Savarin used a 30% original solution. Considering the preparation method, it is already good to have 2 units in 1ml.
Carvey carefully speculated on the ratio of vasopressin and oxytocin, and said solemnly, "Inject 0.5 and 1ml of oxytocin every 2 hours into Rachel and Mary, and carefully observe their daily lives."
Savarin had not yet thought about the dangers of the drug, so he just recorded these contents: "There is no problem with the experiment, I will do it, but the drug is running out."
"Run out?"
"You just gave me two big tubes. It's definitely not enough according to this usage."
Nora is about to give birth, and it is impossible for Kawei to spend all the medicines on experiments at once: "You do the experiments first, and then stop when they are used up. I will get the medicines, probably in the next two days."
"OK."
If placed in the 21st century, Kawei's experimental process would be a bit messy.
In order for the operation to be carried out safely, he should first test the safety of oxytocin, then test the hemostatic effect of oxytocin and postpartum, and then consider analyzing the maternal behaviors caused by oxytocin.
But this is the 19th century, and voles are not sterile mice and are not clean. In order to conduct a good puerperal infection experiment, external factors need to be eliminated, and each animal needs to be cleaned with a large amount of alkali soap.
They were short of manpower and had a serious shortage of experimental materials. Directly conducting safety experiments could easily lead to the death of a large number of samples, so Kawei made some changes to the experimental process.
According to his plan, after the maternal behavior test is completed, the next step will be mass production. Frequent mating will produce more than a dozen pregnant rats at one time. The effect of oxytocin can be roughly seen by injecting oxytocin during delivery, and by injecting infected bacterial fluid after delivery, a rough model of puerperal fever can be made.
After having a control group of the puerperal fever model, the same type of infectious bacteria solution can be mixed with high-concentration alcohol and bleaching powder to form a new observation group.
But these are all things for later, it still depends on the effect of being in the same cage.
And the most critical thing now is the issue that Savarin emphasized just now, the production of oxytocin needs to keep up.
Now that I think about it, the amount of rabbit brains is still too small. Kawei can no longer save money and go to Alphonse for rabbit brains. He has to find a way to get some pig brains. It happened that Fernand was in the business of butchering pork and beef, which was much more convenient than the chef.
"You want pig brains?"
Kawei quickly emphasized: "Fresh pig brains!" [1]
Fernan was a little embarrassed: "This is not easy to do."
Kawei was not afraid of his embarrassment: "It's really difficult, but the quantity I want is huge. Let's get ten first."
"You want that much?"
Fernan was tasting the raven (anti-harmony) tincture handed over by the nurse, which was mixed with some wine. The taste was exactly what he wanted: "I have never seen anyone like that stuff, it's soft, It looks like mud mixed with blood.”
"If Mr. Fernand can get it for me, the price can be negotiated."
Even though the baby was swollen like a carrot, Fernan still relied on a small bottle of "analgesic" and chatted with Kawei: "Fresh pig heads are indeed not cheap, but the money is secondary. The problem is that no one has cut the pig head properly. This knife will blow your brains away."
"The specific process is actually not difficult. If you are proficient in knife skills, you will be able to do it once taught." [2]
"There are two of my guys in the butcher shop, both skilled workers. You can go to them directly." Fernand took the paper and pen from Kawei's hand, "As for the price, pig heads are already cheap, including processing. It costs 3 crowns per head. I’ll write you a note and you just give it to them.”
"Okay, thanks."
Fernan was in a good mood. Who would have thought that he could negotiate such a large deal while lying in the ward: "Doctor, when will I be discharged from the hospital?"
"It depends on the recovery of the wound." Seeing him pouring "medicine" into his mouth, Kawei couldn't help but remind him, "Drink less, wine is not good for the recovery of the wound."
"Huh? Is that so?" Fernand put down the bottle reluctantly.
Since coming here, Kawei has not seen many patients with good compliance. Seeing him so obedient, he can talk a few more words: "If you are in a hurry to be discharged, it is not impossible, let your family take you away. But you have to Make sure you come back every other day to change the bandage, and don’t let anything touch the wound, including water.”
Fernan thought for a while and shook his head: "It's so troublesome, let's forget it and just stay in the hospital."
"Okay, drink more water. The water after filtering and boiling is very clean." Kawei placed the freshly boiled hot water kettle next to his bed, "Don't keep thinking about drinking." [3]
"Thank you doctor."
Kavi has now completely taken over the nursing work in the surgical ward.
He knew that his status was not high enough and he would definitely encounter resistance when conveying his requirements to the nurses. So Carvey incorporated his experience into some of the nursing rules written by Nightingale, reducing the nurses' resistance to learning.
After these days of practice, they have mastered the technique of changing bandages and learned some basic disinfection techniques. Modern nursing work has begun to slowly unfold in the ward.
Kawi just needs to wait for his efforts to bear fruit.
"These postoperative patients have their bandages changed regularly. If there is ulceration, please come back to me. Don't change the bandage on Eston in bed 11. The wound is very good. Mrs. Gale will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Remember to remind her before leaving. She will return for a follow-up visit in half a month. As for Fernan's wound location, which is relatively sensitive, the line may collapse if you go there, so I will definitely have to come."
Kawei ordered the next work: "The trouble now is Mr. Alphonse's butt. You have to do more work."
"We've told him many times, but it's useless." The nurses didn't think there was anything embarrassing about nursing work. On the contrary, their faces were more displeased. "He doesn't want us to touch his butt. I think This is not a matter of differences between men and women, he just doesn’t trust us.”
Nursing work also requires practice and experience.
Kawei only has these nurses at his disposal, and there are not many who are willing to perform hemorrhoid surgery, so he can only bite the bullet and let them do it: "Forget it, if he still insists, come to me again. Let's talk about that first. A new patient has just been transferred here from the internal medicine department, Mr. Schmidt from bed 9."
"His abdominal pain is severe again," a nurse said.
"Well, I know that judging from the location of the pain, there should be something wrong with the appendix." Kawei looked at the medical records sent by the internal medicine department and said, "I will check with Mr. Ignatz after he returns to the hospital. Before that, don’t feed him crow (anti-harmony) tablet tincture.”
"I saw that he was almost speechless in pain."
"In order to diagnose, I have no choice but to let him endure it as much as possible..."
While talking, there were suddenly some noisy sounds coming from outside the door.
Kawei went out and took a look, and it turned out that something was wrong in the maternity ward next door. Several nurses were busy working together, and a midwife could be seen inside. Seeing someone in the surgery department, an elderly nurse quickly ran over and asked, "Is Dr. Ignatz here?"
Kawei shook his head: "The teacher is out and not in the hospital."
"When can you come back?"
"I don't know, probably at night."
"Why are you missing at this time..." The old nurse was a little anxious, "What about Hills and Dr. Hermann?"
"The two teachers are not here either. They are both doing surgeries in the theater. It should be almost time." Kawei heard more and more something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"
"Bed 24, the girl named Nora's water broke!"
