Chapter 568: Witnessing Medical Miracles
Li Chengqian also cooperated with Li Ruoyu's affairs. He organized experts to write Li Shimin's past in the newspaper, and interpreted it into a touching and tragic love story, touching countless subjects of the Tang Dynasty.
Then, under the instruction of Li You, Xiao Wanyu wrote an article, exaggerating the love story between Yuchi Baoqi and Li Ruoyu. Yuchi Baoqi, the great poet who ranked first with Li You, also became a truly ugly and handsome figure, and even surpassed the handsome Li You.
As the saying goes, if you read 00 Tang poems well, you will yell if you can't recite poems. In order to preserve the title of Yuchi Baoqi's great poet, Li You copied many poems from famous masters for him. He was very careful and memorized them all. With such cultural accumulation, the poems made by Yuchi Baoqi himself have also been improved to a considerable level. Therefore, during the process of Li Ruoyu's interaction with him, he really thought that he was a true poet.
After the matter ended, Li You breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang'an City.
There is a Aimin Medical Center on the main street of Chang'an City. It was a medical center specially opened for civilians established by Li You and others in the name of Empress Changsun. It was managed by Sun Simiao's eldest apprentice Wei Wen.
Sun Simiao lived in the Qi Palace. When he had time, he went to the Tai'an Street Love Clinic near the Qi Palace to help Wei Wen improve the reputation of the clinic. Sun Simiao's reputation was well known throughout the world, and the clinic was crowded for a time.
On that day, several patients' families brought a patient to him. The patient covered his lower abdomen with his hands, which made him sweat profusely.
After Sun Simiao checked his condition, he said: "He has acute intestinal paralysis and needs surgery."
"What, surgical treatment? How can this work?" The patient's family strongly opposed it.
Sun Simiao explained to them for a long time, but they just disagreed.
Sun Simiao had no choice but to prescribe some medicine for them, and the patient's family carried the patient away.
The next day, the patient's family came again. They knelt on the ground and started crying, saying that the patient was dead and regretted that Sun Simiao did not have surgery.
The Palace of King Qi.
Sun Simiao came to visit Li You, and he said: "Your Highness, I have thoroughly understood the structure of the human body, and have done a lot of experiments, so I am sure to perform surgical treatment."
Li You congratulated him and said, "This incident is an epoch-making event, and it can be said to be a medical revolution."
Sun Simiao said depressedly: "I am very sure of medical skills, but how can people accept this new medical skills?" Then, he told Li You about the incident he encountered not long ago.
When Li You asked Sun Simiao to study Western medicine, he had already considered this. He said, "Mr. Sun, I will arrange this matter."
On this day, the Datang Daily published an explosive news titled "Witnessing the Miracle of Medicine", which said that the miracle doctor Sun Simiao wanted to perform surgery on the patient to treat intestinal paralysis.
Intestinal paralysis is what modern times calls appendicitis, but this is not the point. The most eye-catching thing is the word "operative". The so-called "surgery" is the parents who dare not damage the body and skin, and they are filial piety at the beginning. In the minds of the ancients, damage to hair and skin are both great things, and it is unimaginable to break the belly.
There was a sudden uproar between the government and the public. Not only those who were bound by ancient rituals, but even the Imperial Hospital was skeptical.
Morning court, Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin asked: "Crown Prince, what's going on with your surgery reported by the Tang Daily?" In the past few days, the court has received a lot of memorials, all of whom are opposed to surgery.
Li Chengqian had already learned about the relevant content in advance. He said: "Father, people have internal organs, and all internal organs may be damaged or necrotic. As long as the damaged or necrotic parts are repaired or removed, they can save lives. Intestinal paralysis means that the intestinal necrosis of a person. As long as it is removed, it can be cured."
"How is this possible?"
"That's right, how can you see whether the intestines are in a person's belly? "
"This is too outrageous. If you cut off a piece of your intestine, will you die?"
"It is inconsistent with etiquette and law."
"Buzzing" and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Li Shimin’s question and answer: “Imperial Hospital, what do you think about this?”
Liu Quanzhong, the head of the Imperial Hospital, and Yang Xingyuan, the judge of the Imperial Hospital, said together: "Your Majesty, I have never done this matter, I don't know if it is feasible."
Li Chengqian had no idea and could not tell more about the way, so he simply said, "Father, let the King of Qi say it."
Li Shimin said, "Li You, let's talk."
Li You said: "Father, everyone knows that there was basically no good way to get intestinal paralysis before, and the mortality rate was extremely high. Moreover, many people who had acute intestinal paralysis were suffering from pain to death."
"Yes, this is how my youngest son is gone." A minister said sadly.
Li You said: "The operation to treat intestinal paralysis is scientifically based on this matter. It involves many professional matters and cannot be explained clearly for a while. However, I can guarantee that this matter is feasible.
Facts are better than words. My son thinks that we can never discuss this matter clearly here. It is better to wait until the surgery results come out and you will understand everything."
"Your Majesty, I believe in your trust in His Highness, King Qi," said Wei Zheng.
"I believe in Your Highness, King Qi." The ministers said together.
Li You's prestige is too high. Now he says that the water in the Ba River is full of beer, and everyone will believe that since he has made a promise, everyone has chosen to trust.
Minister of Education Kong Yingda also trusts Li You, but he is the descendant of Confucius after all, and maintaining traditional ethics is his instinct. He said: "Your Majesty, I also believe in His Highness the King of Qi, but after all, my predecessors have never done this. Who would be the first person?"
Li You said: "Father, the son-in-law Wang Jing, voluntarily became the first person to test."
"Oh, it's the prince consort."
"Excellent, he is too brave."
"Buzzing" and there was another rumbling of discussion in the hall.
Wang Jingzhi is the son-in-law of Princess Li Leling of Nanping. He has problems with intestinal paralysis. Many people know that an attack last year almost failed to recover.
Li Leling was originally one of the people who hated Li You the most, and now she is also one of Li You's absolute fans. She believes in Li You. When Li You proposed to let Wang Jing be treated directly, she agreed without hesitation.
Kong Yingda heard this and had nothing to say. He said, "I am ashamed, I agree."
It is incredible to perform surgery on people's intestinal rupture and has attracted people's attention. The sales of the "Datang Daily" have increased significantly.
Imperial Hospital.
Today is the day when Sun Simiao officially performed the operation on Wang Jingzhi. Li You accompanied Li Chengqian and Li Leling to the Imperial Hospital. He also followed them with a group of reporters from the Datang Daily. They were here to witness a medical miracle.
There were also imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital who were surrounded by the operating room. They paid more attention to this matter, which completely subverted their understanding of medicine.
Wang Jingzhi came over with Sun Simiao's assistant. Although he believed in Li You and Sun Simiao, this incident still scared him a little. His face was pale and his lips were trembling.
Li Leling said dissatisfiedly: "Jingzhi, it's okay, don't you believe in the fifth brother?"
Wang Jing looked at Li You directly, and Li You comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor surgery, don't worry."
Wang Jingzhi nodded and said, "Your Highness, I am not afraid, I am fine." Wang Jingzhi entered the operating room, and the door of the operating room was closed from inside.
The operation began, and Li You were waiting with everyone. Suddenly, he felt his arm hurt, and then he realized that his arm was being grabbed by Li Leling. Li Leling said it was okay, but she was also very nervous. She didn't realize that her hand grabbed Li You's arm tightly and pinched his flesh with his nails.
An hour has passed, and the predicted completion time of the surgery is getting closer and closer.
At this time, the crowd became slightly turbulent. It turned out that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came together.
Li Shimin was out of curiosity, while Empress Changsun was concerned about Li Leling. The two came here at the same time.
