When Roque and Smalls visited Douglas, a tense operation was underway at Ziwei Hospital.

The victim, a farmer on the outskirts of Johannesburg, fell from the roof while repairing his house, suffering severe injuries to the head and abdomen, and was taken to hospital unconscious with excessive blood loss.

"The patient's abdomen was pierced by a steel bar, the open wound was accompanied by massive blood loss, and the patient is now in the operating room and in urgent need of surgery—" said Jerome Jean, a medical student who graduated from the University of Paris and arrived in Johannesburg with his teacher, Rayleigh Godwin.

Rayleigh Godwin is a professor at the Second Department of Medicine of the University of Paris, and is also the current authority on medicine in Johannesburg, purely medically speaking, Rayleigh Godwin's medical skills are better than Abu's, Abu is more theoretical, Rayleigh Godwin is the main practice, plus the University of Paris is far more famous than the University of Gothenburg, so Roque gave Rayleigh Godwin an annual salary of 1500 pounds to get Rayleigh Godwin from Paris to Johannesburg.

Speaking of the University of Paris, this is probably the oldest institution of higher learning in the world, and its status is higher than that of Oxford and Cambridge among universities in the world.

In 1167, relations between England and France deteriorated, and a number of English scholars left the University of Paris and returned to England to found Oxford.

Then in 1209, Oxford students clashed with the local peasants of the school, and some Oxford scholars came to the town of Cambridge, founded by Franciscans, Benedictines and Friars, before the University of Cambridge was founded.

"Has the patient's blood type been determined?" Rayleigh Godwin gets dressed as she walks.

"It has been confirmed that the patient has blood type A, and I have transferred blood from the blood bank and am preparing to transfuse the patient." Jerome Jean has just graduated from the University of Paris, where he worked at the Palais de la Hôtel before graduation and is now an experienced doctor.

In 1901, the American physician Landstead Carr discovered the blood type, and since then, there has finally been a scientific basis for blood transfusion for patients.

In 1915, the German Louisson proposed to add sodium citrate solution to the blood to make the blood not coagulate, and later the establishment of a blood bank made blood transfusion simple and easy.

Ziwei Hospital now has a blood bank, thanks to Roque's understanding of blood bags, in order to sell blood bags to foreigners, Roque did not make up for this knowledge, and as a result, Johannesburg became the first city in the world to set up a blood bank.

Before entering the operating room, Rayleigh Godwin and Jerome Jean had to be sterilized, and in 1903, although the level of medicine was not high enough, the level of surgery was actually very good.

In 1846, ether began to be used as a general anesthetic in surgery, and by 1892, procaine replaced ether as an anesthetic, and until the twenty-first century, procaine remained a safe and effective local anesthetic.

In 1877, Bergman in Germany treated 15 cases of penetrating knee injuries and bandaged them after cleaning and disinfecting the wounds, and 12 cases were healed and the lower limbs were preserved.

With the guidance of Roque, not to mention the surgical level of Ziwei Hospital, the hardware level has caught up with the world-class, and the rubber gloves, hemostats, and tourniquets that are not widely used in Europe are already standard in Ziwei Hospital, which effectively improves the treatment level of Ziwei Hospital.

After changing into a sterilized surgical gown, putting on rubber gloves, and disinfecting it again, Rayleigh Godwin and Jerome Joan walked into the operating room together.

There are already two interns and two nurses busy in the operating room, both of whom are assistants to Rayleigh Godwin and Jerome Jean.

By the way, for tonight's operation, Rayleigh Godwin was the chief surgeon, Jerome Joan was the first assistant, and then the second and third assistants and the two nurses were all Chinese.

The age of the injured person is about 30 years old, and it seems that the situation is very bad, and the steel bar that caused the trouble is still inserted in the stomach of the injured person and has not been pulled out, that is, the operating room is full of men.

Rayleigh Godwin didn't hesitate, walked to the operating table, grabbed the rebar and slowly pulled it out.

The injured man's body was shaking violently, and Jerome Joan, the second and third assistants, worked together to control the injured and prevent them from moving.

After a long time, Rayleigh Godwin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good that he didn't die.

This kind of injury, that is, there is still hope for rescue in Johannesburg, but it is replaced by other cities, and it is estimated that the families of the injured are now preparing for the aftermath.

"—now let's move on to the first step, to cut open the patient's wound and see if the internal organs are damaged—" Rayleigh Godwin said, his mouth kept on and on as he operated on the operation.

This is a rare learning opportunity, Jerome Jean and the second assistant and the third assistant are all engrossed, such patients are actually very common in Ziwei Hospital, but Rayleigh Godwin does not have many opportunities to get his hands on it himself, most of the time, those workers who have their hands and feet broken by stones or tools, are treated by young doctors like Jerome Joan.

So for more than a year, the doctors of Ziwei Hospital have made rapid progress in surgery, and there are already more than 10 doctors in Ziwei Hospital who are qualified to perform surgeries for patients, and more than 30 doctors are in the internship stage, and it will not be long before those interns can also operate independently.

At that time, Ziwei Hospital will have more and more strength in surgery.

"This advantage will definitely be carried forward, so after the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine, surgery will be the largest and strongest discipline in the Faculty of Medicine, and we hope that in the future, the Department of Surgery of the Johannesburg Medical School will become the best discipline in the world." Douglas is a great admirer of the Department of Surgery at Ziwei Hospital, and is also very interested in Chinese medicine: "We are also planning to set up a Chinese medicine research group to study acupuncture, massage, cupping and so on in Chinese medicine. ”

In the middle of the 20th century, there was a period when Chinese medicine was stigmatized as "witch doctors" and "witchcraft", not only Western countries slandered Chinese medicine, but even many Chinese people did not believe in Chinese medicine and turned to Western medicine for immediate results.

In fact, this is not the case at all, because of ideology, newspapers in Western countries are slanderous about everything about the Chinese, but serious scientific workers will not ignore the value of Chinese medicine, and at the same time that many Chinese have begun to abandon Chinese medicine, many Western medical schools and medical laboratories have begun to study Chinese medicine, which is very revealing.

It is only the beginning of the twentieth century, and penicillin has not even been studied in Western countries, so they are not qualified to despise Chinese medicine at all.

Because there are many Chinese in Ziwei Town, there is now a massage in Ziwei Town, and there are also services such as "cupping" in the bathhouse.

As for "cupping", this is not unique to the East, the West also used to be popular in ancient Greece and Rome, when cupping was called "cup suction", and the technique and effect were similar to that of cupping in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Yes, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is still very good, many ancient prescriptions have great research value, and I plan to set up a farm between Johannesburg and Pretoria to grow and process medicinal materials." In this regard, Roque also has ideas, but Roque's starting point is different from Douglas's, Douglas's study of Chinese medicine is purely an interest, and Roque is to rescue traditional culture.

From now on, the Qing Dynasty will be in a state of long-term disorderly chaos, and this period will continue until the establishment of the Republic, at this stage, many traditional cultural treasures have been destroyed by war, or lost for some reasons, causing great damage to the traditional culture of the Chinese.

Roque does not want to see this happen, the Qing Kingdom is too far away, and Roque is beyond his reach, but as a member of the Chinese, Roque is absolutely responsible and obliged to make efforts in this regard.

The key point is that Roque's ability to protect the stability of Johannesburg and even Nyasaland has created a good foundation for rescuing traditional culture and further carrying it forward.

Between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Roque has more than 100,000 acres of farms, which Roque has not had the energy to develop until now.

Now don't worry about this problem, to study Chinese medicine, it is impossible without Chinese medicine, it happens that Luo Ke has a farm and strength, so he simply grows medicinal materials on the farm, so as to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to provide Chinese medicine for the study of Chinese medicine, and to create favorable conditions for the promotion of Chinese medicine.

"Locke, when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, if you can, can you hire some talents in traditional Chinese medicine from the Qing Kingdom to come to Johannesburg, and we can also fully communicate." Douglas has further requests.

"No problem, I have asked Liang to work hard in Qingguo, I heard that there are eyebrows now, perhaps, people will come to Johannesburg soon." Roque had been prepared for a long time, and he had asked Liang Ding to find new talents in this area a long time ago.

It is a pity that although Luo Ke is eager to seek talents, Liang Dingxin has not made much progress in this regard.

This is also understandable, doctors in the Qing country, after all, is also a very respected profession, the vast majority of capable doctors, in the Qing country are well mixed, no one wants to come to Johannesburg at all.

Now it's different, because of the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, the north of the Qing country has been in chaos, coupled with the mutual protection of the southeast in the south, the Qing country is actually in a state of division, how can there be no eggs under the nest, there must be medical families affected in the war, at this time Liang Dingxin tempted him to take advantage, maybe he can really let Liang Dingxin get people to Johannesburg.
