22. Price standard

In terms of price fluctuations, this knife is indeed outrageous, but in terms of real value, Kawei's knife is still at a more reasonable price.

It's not like he has never seen thoracic fractures. This kind of thing usually does not appear alone, and is often accompanied by serious injuries to various parts of the body. It is very consistent with Andre's current situation. Before Andre's death, his body must have been very seriously injured.

The blunt trauma can cause multiple fractures in the limbs, and the destructive force is enough to rupture the tender internal organs.

No one knows what kind of chaos is in his stomach now. It is possible that the liver and spleen have long been broken, and the abdominal cavity is full of blood clots, making it impossible to dissect the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the subcutaneous blood vessels are now severely ruptured, and the blood stasis is everywhere.

This makes subcutaneous dissection and separation of blood vessels meaningless.

There are very few places where this kind of corpse can be used to practice.

If the bones of the hands and feet are broken, internal and external fixation of the fractures must be considered one.

Reduction and external fixation are not very difficult. They can be practiced on living people, and both Herman and Hills are very skilled at it. Internal fixation surgery requires a large number of high-standard stainless steel products, and there are strict requirements for disinfection, which is very difficult for the technical level of this era.

It's too far ahead of its time.

What's left is amputation. The requirements for amputation practice are indeed very low. It only needs an arm and leg, so the value is also reduced a lot.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Musil laughed angrily, thinking that Kawei was looking for trouble. "The corpse that was just sent over has been here for two days, and Ignatz paid a full 60 kronor."

"I've seen that corpse before. The face has no human shape. To be honest, 60 kronor is too high." Kawei said his reasons like a professional autopsy, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it was just a coincidence. Teacher Ignatz needed it.

I was undergoing a cesarean section and were in urgent need of female corpses with intact internal organs, so I only gave them 60 crowns."

"You said it happened by chance???"

Kawei was puzzled: "Did Teacher Ignatz sign any written agreement with you?"

Musil quickly shook his head: "How can there be an agreement on this matter..."

"Then there are other corpses here, teacher? If they are complete, I will pay now." Kawei took the money out of his pocket, "60 kronor, not a penny."

Where did Musil come from so many good corpses? He said helplessly: "I only have two in my hand. One case has not been closed, and the other one is 'him'."

"If that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it," Kavi explained. "For this body, 20 kronor is not low. A whole corpse that has been dead for three days is only 30 kroner on the black market. If it is injured,

If it's very heavy, it will hold up to 20 kronor at most. If it were carried by a gravedigger, I'm afraid it won't even sell for 15 kronor."

"How can you compare it with the rotting corpse in the coffin?" Musil felt that his profession was insulted. "This corpse was soaked in ice water for three hours, and the decomposition rate was much slower. It was enough

You can use it for four or five days."

"As far as the speed of decay is concerned, you are right..."

Kawei affirmed his professional ability, but unfortunately, he could not agree with Musil's judgment on the value of the corpse: "Teacher Musil, the speed of decay cannot be the main criterion for evaluating the value of a corpse. According to Ignatz

With the teacher’s hand speed, it only takes most of a day to finish a corpse.”

"Then what are your standards?"

"Integrity and degree of decay are indispensable."

Kawei put on the linen gloves on the side and slapped Andre on the chest. Suddenly two streams of light red blood overflowed from the corners of the corpse's mouth: "Look at his chest, all the ribs are broken..."

Look at his belly again, it’s a mess, how can Teacher Ignatz use this kind of corpse?”

Kawei's press really lowered the corpse's score a lot.

Musil still knew about the condition of the corpse, but he didn’t see it in such detail. He also wanted to sell it for more money. He thought Ignatz didn’t care so much. Who would have thought that the young man who came to pay today would be so demanding: "

But his hands and feet are still good, it’s just that some bones are broken and he can’t use them?”

Kawei sighed and explained: "At the critical moment when Mr. Ignatz is improving his abdominal surgery, how can he spend twice the market price to buy a corpse that can only be used for amputation practice? In Ignatz's case,

Mr. Natz’s level of amputation, there is no need to practice amputation. Mr. Ignatz..."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Musil's head hurt when he heard it, and he quickly interrupted him, "Don't have Teacher Ignatz in the east, and Teacher Ignatz in the west. Teacher Ignatz

amazing???"

"It's really remarkable. Wouldn't it be reported today?"

Kawei’s words were true. In modern times, it would be impossible for a surgeon in his forties to make the front page of the largest newspaper in the capital. But Musil felt uncomfortable and refused the offer directly after getting angry.

Quotation: "For 20 kronor, even if there is no door, I can make 50 kronor by selling the Graz Hospital next door!"

"What price is Teacher Musil willing to accept?" Kavi asked, "50 crowns?"

"60 kronor! This is the price he agreed with me at the beginning. In order to take care of him, I returned all the orders from Graz Hospital."

"But you can't use this kind of corpse even if you buy it back to the hospital." Kawei shook his head helplessly, "I think it's better to forget it. I'll go back and discuss it with Teacher Ignatz before I leave."

The young man took off his gloves and left immediately. He was very decisive, so decisive that he was even a little arrogant.

Musil never thought that things would turn into this situation. He thought he could earn 120 kroner for the police station in two days. If he handed over most of the money to the leader, he could earn around 20 kroner. But now if Iger is let go

Natz, this client, what to do with the body?

If you go through "regular" channels, those stingy hospital directors can give you 40 kronor, which is pretty good. Besides, Andre's body is indeed defective, so I'm afraid the price will be pushed down further.

It’s hard to say how much the pressure will be, but for them, the main source of corpses is the black market. The price there has been floating around 30 kronor, and the key is free door-to-door delivery. A few cases may not even cost 20 kroner, but the quality is not good.

.

Those hospitals don't have Ignatz's mental mysophobia, and they only perform low-difficulty surgeries. They don't have high requirements for corpses. They often hunt for goods on the black market, and there is no need to go to the police station. After all, there are a lot of rules here.

If you submit an application for free corpse donation, you will have to spend your own money to carry the things back.

Corpses become cheaper as time goes by, and finding a new buyer is troublesome. What should I do?

Musil looked at Kawei who was already walking towards the door after washing his hands. He started a fierce ideological struggle in his mind. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Wait a minute! According to the standards of Graz Hospital, 50 kronor will be taken away."

Bar."

Kawei did not respond. He came to the door and raised his hand to hold the door handle. Musil knew at a glance that the other party was still dissatisfied with the new price. He had no choice but to continue to lower the standard: "50 kronor, I will ask the police

The person who transports the corpse will help you take it back."

Kawei shook his head and opened the door.

"47 kronor, I'll help you get to the hospital."

Kawei walked straight out of the gate without stopping.

"45 crowns!"

Only a bang was heard and Kawei left the autopsy room.

To him, it didn't matter whether he bought the body or not.

If Ignaz is not satisfied with the purchase, he can blame Musil for the poor identification of the body and say that the police department is cheating. If Ignaz blames him for not buying the body, he can say that there is a big problem with the body.

, there is no value in practice at all, and the responsibility can still be passed on to Musil, saying that he is unwilling to reduce the price.

There are reasons for both forehand and backhand.

But for Musil, it is not so easy to find a new buyer. Even if a free application is submitted, in the face of the Anatomy Law, the transaction between the police department and the new buyer will always be accompanied by various risks.

What's more, new buyers may not be able to offer too high a price.

Therefore, Kawei determined that Musil would still negotiate the price with him. If he lost the bet, he would not lose money, and if he won the bet, he would make a pure profit.

He stretched out outside the autopsy room, opened his legs and walked slowly toward the door, trying to give the forensic doctor a buffer time to think. Things did develop as he expected, and within a few minutes,

Musil ran all the way to catch up.

"Young man, how about we discuss this further?"

Kawei turned around and asked: "Discuss? How to discuss?"

"40 kronor!" Musil seemed determined, "As long as you pay 40 kronor, I will send someone to take the body to the hospital."

"20." Kawei still adheres to his own standards.

Musil felt that he had encountered gravel in the black bread, and after the molar collapsed, there was nothing he could do about it: "Why are you so unreasonable? I've already reduced it to 40 kronor.

You have to give in at least half a step."

"I gave in, right from the beginning." Kawei explained patiently, "Originally, I wanted to offer 10 kronor."

"You..." Musil stamped his foot and said, "20 is too little, you have to add a little more!"

What Kawei wants is this sentence. With this sentence, his price increase will become more significant: "Considering that Teacher Ignatz needs to perform repair surgery on a patient with cleft lip next, the face of this corpse

If it's still in good condition, I'll add 5 crowns."

"Only 5 crowns?"

"No more." Kavi didn't want to waste time here, "I can give Teacher Munir some time to think about it. This body can be sent to the city's general hospital in the next two days. The price is 25 kronor.

We pay upon delivery.”

After saying that, he left the police station.

After the police department sells the unclaimed bodies, most of the money will go into the pockets of the upper management. In the final analysis, he is just a tool for soliciting customers and bargaining for prices.

The tool man naturally has a certain scope of authority and responsibility. The previously set 60 crowns suddenly fell to 25. The gap was too huge. Musil was not qualified to make this decision: "It's really troublesome. I have to go to the director...

.”

...

Kawei left the police station in a big way and walked along the street for five minutes before he saw a drug store.

In this era where arsenic is contained in skin care products and opium is used as a cold medicine, it is not easy to strictly and prudently control the "safe" dosage range. As a patient, facing a box of blood-stained knives

For pliers and saws, bottles of colorful potions are definitely more "safe".

Therefore, even though there was no scientific basis, and they even followed various alchemical methods from the Middle Ages, these apothecaries that could develop their own medicines still became an indispensable part of European medical care in the 19th century.
