In the 19th century, electricity had visible magic powers, and the resulting placebo effect, paired with some proper massage and hot baths, became a money-making tool exploited by charlatans.
This kind of deception is very old-fashioned, just like taking a piece of cheap beef and insisting that it is a high-end steak and selling it at a sky-high price, but as long as the supporting hardware facilities are sufficient, some people will believe it. Jenny and Cecilia understood the essence of this trip, even to the point of originality.
Kawei originally wanted to see the equipment, but when he first saw the facilities in the electrotherapy hospital, he was deeply "shocked".
"Health Temple?" Kawei looked at the sign at the entrance of the courtyard and fell into deep thought.
"The name follows the idea of a sanatorium in Scotland from the last century, which is pretty good."
"Forehead"
"Here is the largest and most elegant medical electronic equipment in the world, which can bring a completely different experience to those suffering from diseases." The two brought Kawei into the sanatorium, still emphasizing the advantages of electrotherapy along the way. " Compared with traditional magnetic therapy, the electric current of electrotherapy can accurately act on the diseased area, and the effect is more significant."
Kawei, no longer bothering to explain the relationship between electric current and health, asked: "Where is the machine?"
"In the room, we have set up a private room for each patient, with ordinary electrotherapy chairs, electrotherapy sofas, electric bathtubs, and the last killer: the Xiaoyao bed!"
The two girls knew how to sell well and did not waste Kavi's time. They went straight to the depths of the courtyard and showed off the store's flagship product: "Our VIP suite has the most luxurious bedroom configuration in Austria. This double bed It is three meters long and two and a half meters wide. There is a huge magnet under the bed, with red tassels and colorful glass tubes on both sides."
"The instrument you most want to see is next to the bed."
Jenny knew more about this than Celicia, and took the initiative to introduce: "These lightning tubes that symbolize heavenly fire will continuously produce current, and the glass tubes will also release a charming aroma. If there is a need, we will also have a band. , can perform a performance that is not inferior to that of the Burgtheater.”
"There is a bathroom in the suite, which is also equipped with an electric bathtub."
"With such a luxurious configuration, you can have it exclusively for two hours for only 200 kronor."
“It’s not that cheap in Canada. Taking into account the exchange rate, you may have to pay 300 kronor. Of course, it’s not impossible to stay here all night. You only need to pay 1,000 kronor to enjoy the entire electrotherapy service. "
"No diagnosis, no medicine, no surgery required. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"This is the temple that protects your health!"
“So what are you waiting for, come and experience it now!!!”
Kawei: "."
Seeing his embarrassed look, both of them laughed: "I said it without realizing it."
"If Dr. Kawei wants to experience it, we can give you a 50% discount!"
The new therapy they understand is: as the current that can stimulate physical skills continues to surge, and as the magnetism that can nourish the essence of life continues to flow, the simplest and most fragrant medicines can slowly penetrate into the blood and nervous system.
If that's not enough to convince those patients, there's science to arm them with.
“Things like electroosmosis and music therapy.”
"There are also aerodynamic therapies and magnetic perturbation therapy."
But no matter how you say it, these are all deceptive words. Anyway, choose something nice to say, give it an eye-catching name, and finally add the science fiction color of the instrument. As long as you listen to it, you will have one foot in the consumption trap. If you feel uncomfortable, you will want to try it.
The picture is a fresh one, and some people want to feel like they are in the future technology.
The bed is big enough, the concept is new enough, and it directly hits people's pain points, so it can get investment and fool people. Now that the hardware is in place, as long as you promote it well, you can still make a lot of money even if the business is not very popular. Now everything is ready in the true sense, all we need is the east wind, so we hope that Kawei will become the spokesperson.
With Kawei's current influence in Vienna, just saying "good for the body" in the corner of the newspaper can make the place full of customers in an instant.
Seeing that Kavi was still indifferent, Jenny finally took out her trump card and picked up a letter of commitment from the bedside, which said "immediate pregnancy": "In such an environment, even a sixty- or seventy-year-old jazzman can revive. Heroic. And those young couples who are infertile will also become pregnant as soon as possible under the dual effects of electricity and magnetism."
"Can this cure infertility?" Kawei looked at the corner of the room and asked, "This is the problem of the century."
"Absolutely!" Cecilia stepped forward and showed the "achievements" they were proud of. "In Canada, we have helped dozens of couples successfully conceive children."
"What if I can't get pregnant?"
"There's no way I can't get pregnant!"
"If they really can't get pregnant, it's not a medical problem. It must be God who is testing them."
"Uh, okay, I understand all this."
Kawei naturally understands the traditional tricks of deception, and also understands the advantage of speaking power brought by blaming God at any time. None of this was enough to surprise him. What really surprised him in this room was the scene in the corner: "But what is that?"
"Oh, they are reserved for certain people."
Jenny didn’t think there was anything wrong with it: “Pure technological means are often very boring, so we hope to add something pleasing to the eye during the treatment process.”
"Those rich people are usually too stressed and need to relax." Cecilia added, "If Dr. Carvey is a woman, the person standing here for you to watch is a man."
"Sex can solve many ailments, it's really wonderful."
Kawei could immediately use a very concise vocabulary to address the two beauties standing in the corner, but considering that he already had the title of baron, he had recently been trying to learn the implicit expressions of Austrian nobles. In addition, he was influenced by the name of the sanatorium and the surrounding environment. When mentioning them, he chose to use a rather awkward phrase to describe the situation:
"The two goddesses who are particularly stingy about dressing are indeed beautiful enough, but this is not included in the medical books I have studied, which is far beyond my understanding of medical treatment."
"It doesn't matter. If Dr. Kawei needs it, you can lie down on the bed and try it now. You can understand the truth after just trying it." Jenny was very relaxed, leaned against him gently, and said with a smile, "If it's right It doesn’t matter if they are not satisfied, I can do it for you, and so can Cecilia.”
"I just said that the bed can be discounted in half, and we..." Cecilia looked at the handsome young man carefully again, "We can get it for free."
"No." Kawei took half a step back, continued to maintain the proper social distance, and straightened his shirt at the same time, saying, "Let's talk business."
Jenny was a little disappointed: “Okay, let’s talk business.”
According to the course of history, electricity will continue to play a deceptive role in the hands of these people for a long time to come.
But in modern times, electricity has already become a medical helper. However, due to the level of knowledge and technology, no one understood how to use it.
What Kawei wanted was not an electrocardiogram, because even if the electrocardiogram results were obtained, the patient's fate of death could not be changed without relevant treatment drugs. What he wanted was not the electroshock used in psychiatric treatment. Today's technology is unstable and the amount of electricity used in electroshock is difficult to control. This is especially true for the electric defibrillation used in first aid. If you are not careful, you will shock someone.
What he wanted was an electric knife that could have a stronger hemostatic effect during surgery.
The coagulation effect produced by high-frequency and low-voltage current is much better than the fire stick that Kawei used in Olgi's stomach, but it is also much more dangerous. Because if there is no way to control the stability of the current, it will turn into cutting when the blood is coagulated, or it will directly burn the surrounding tissue, making the operation more difficult.
If we can make an electric knife that meets the requirements, we can reach a new level in hemostasis technology.
For example, during the spinal surgery of the old marshal, in addition to bone bleeding, there were also many venous plexuses. After rupture, the bleeding rate was not fast, but the total amount was not small. This kind of bleeding point is very difficult to suture, and only precise cauterization can seal the bleeding immediately.
After a spinal surgery, Ling Ling lost 1,000ml of blood volume. If it weren't for the long-term infusion and pressure increase, and Kawei still had the trump card of autologous blood transfusion, the operation would have been impossible.
The business from Kawei's mouth is to find Kino.
Kino has returned to Berlin since investing in the pharmaceutical factory and has never been to Austria again. Even Laszlo said that he could not find him. The only person he could find was Chino's helper in business.
The relationship between Prussia and Austria is tense, and electrotherapy equipment is not something that can be easily traded across the border. The relationship between these two girls and Chino is not simple. Considering that Austria lacks talent and technology in this area, Kawei needs Chino to help him solve Austria's gap in this area.
But now that the war is just around the corner, there are still many technical bottlenecks in the design and construction of the electric knife, so there is no need to rush.
"You help me find Kino, and I will let an assistant be your spokesperson." Kawei said.
"Assistant? Just an assistant???" Jenny was not satisfied with the result. "We originally looked for director-level doctors, such as Dr. Ike Nielsen from St. Mary's Hospital, and a chief physician from the Department of Internal Medicine at Graze Hospital."
"Then why are you looking for me?" Kawei stood up and left as soon as he heard this.
Cecilia became anxious when she saw it, and quickly stepped forward to save someone: "The two doctors are in the stage of negotiating the price. After all, they are the chief doctors, so they have to be harsh when asking for a price."
"That's why I asked my assistant to come forward." Kawei said, "The price he offered must be cheap."
"But what's the point of letting him speak for you? He's just an assistant!"
Jenny had already thought about her future development path, which was to package herself as a doctor, or even a senior therapist, so after hearing Kawei’s proposal, she also backed down: “What we want is reputation. , what is the difference between endorsement without reputation and a waste of time."
"My assistants have all appeared in previous surgeries." Carvey said, "Dr. Berget is the heir to the title of Viscount. Dr. Hermann has been working in surgical clinics for several years. He works seriously and has solid skills. Many Everyone knows him. And the least famous one, Damirgaon, also accepted interviews from several reporters after the operation."
When I first heard "assistant", it always gave people a very low feeling, but now after explaining it, it seems to be good.
Jenny quickly set the prices for the three people and asked: "So who is it?"
"Oh, these three don't really like to do this kind of thing. One has no time, one has no interest, and the other has no shortage of money at all." Kawei said with a smile, "What I want to say is that the other , Dr. Amor, he is relatively poor. Something happened to his family recently, so he has encountered difficulties in life. I hope I can help him relieve the pressure."
"Amor???" Jenny carefully recalled the situation during the operation. She really had never heard of this name. "Who is it? Why don't I remember it at all?"
"The one who was standing next to the operating table during the operation," Kawei explained, "was my anesthesiologist."
"I'm afraid that won't work." Jenny shook her head, "The benefits that his fame brings do not match the benefits that we share with him."
"It's just fame, it can be packaged." Kawei said, "You should know this better than me."
"Of course I understand." Jenny didn't want to ruin the relationship with Kawei, so she could only give in and suggest, "If this is really the case, we can only sign a one-time endorsement contract with him. In other words, there will be no dividends and follow-up We will not look for him again, we will pay all the money at once.”
"How much?"
"1,000 crowns." Jenny gritted her teeth and gave Kawei a price that he was unlikely to refuse. "This is our limit."
It is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. Kawei could see their sincerity, and 1,000 kronor was enough to solve an urgent need for Amor. With this money, this anesthesiologist who is extremely responsible for his patients can go to the battlefield with him.
"In terms of titles, you can be more exaggerated," Kawei said, "for example, 'Dr. Kawei Hines' royal anesthetist', 'Owner of zero-mortality anesthesia technology', or 'Hypnosis on the operating table' Master'. Anyway, it's up to you."
[Tomorrow is the next volume, which is the Austro-Prussian War. When we get to the battlefield, there will be a lot of military medical content involved. I will no longer limit myself to surgery, but will also do more internal medicine, so that everyone can see how internal medicine was messed up in the 19th century]
