The theater staff also worked hard for this emergency temporary operation.

They mobilized the operating venue of Graz Hospital at night, cleaned the scene in advance, and added twice the number of candles to the interior of the theater. The theater was brightly lit, and the smell of burning wax overshadowed the smell of blood.

In addition to the venue, they also have to deal with awkward timing.

Ticket sales started at around 5 o'clock, and the start and duration of the operation were uncertain. In order to grab tickets and watch the entire operation completely, audience members need to give up their dinner time and enter the venue first.

There are some dried fruit snacks and drinks in the audience lounge of the theater, but the quantities are very small, which can only satisfy your cravings but not fill you up.

It is obviously very inhumane to let them go hungry and watch a mother being disemboweled. If there is any inhumanity, it means there is room for improvement.

After a brief thought, the theater temporarily opened the sales channel, allowing street food stalls to enter the venue to sell their own goods. Of course, entry requires an admission fee, and there are a lot of troublesome rules that need to be followed.

Suddenly, the audience's hands were filled with all kinds of food, including small sausages, barbecue slices, bacon, cheese bread cubes, and the original grapes, figs, plums, pears, and cherries on the dinner plate. You could even see some.

Many British people eat mussels and conch, Italians eat pizza, and French people eat oysters and squid...

The theater turns into a buffet in seconds.

Before the operation officially started, the place was already filled with the noisy sounds of wine bottles, glasses, fruit forks and plates clashing with each other.【1】

The theater was packed with seats, and the audience was full of enthusiasm. Especially when the so-called "nation's top" surgical team entered the theater, the high mood of wanting to watch the surgical performance immediately reached its peak.

"Ignatz! Ignatz!"

"Caesarean section! Cesarean section!"

"Let's get started, I can't wait..."

Kavey walked last, with two nurses and a theater employee.

Now he is still an assistant. Even if Ignatz is absent, as long as Hills and Hermann do not express their opinions, he can only be an assistant. Because a young man who has only been in the industry for more than half a month, without

Until the master and the hospital staff agree, I can’t be the chief surgeon.

Anyway, for him, he has been used to being an assistant these days, so he just shows off his skills.

No matter what went wrong with the surgery later, and no matter whether Hills and Herman were willing to take over or not, he needed to do one thing before the operation: disinfection.

There are four very personalized washbasins, into which two parts of water, one part of bleaching liquid and one part of soap are poured.

"Wash your hands first, Teacher Ignatz's rule."

Carvey told a lie that anyone could expose, but it gave the extremely nervous Hills and Herman a buffer time. The time squeezed out by washing hands repeatedly allowed their brains to relax and organize themselves.

The next surgical procedure.

Unfortunately, this time did not last long, and people soon discovered something was not quite right.

The first thing that was muted in the audience was Ignatz's fans. There was no Ignatz in the small group of three people who entered the venue. After waiting for a long time, no one showed up. The embarrassing situation of four missing and one missing greatly reduced their confidence.

sense of expectation.

People were surprised, why didn't the surgeon come?

"Where's Ignatz?"

"Where is the surgeon who performed the surgery?"

"Don't just wash your hands and say something. It's too boring."

The first among the three to bear the brunt is Hills. He is regarded as the appointed assistant. When Ignatz is away, he will naturally be in charge. The pressure will naturally be put on him: "Doctor Hills, where are Dr. Ignatz?

Already?"

The accusation was replaced by a pointed question, and Hills had to answer: "Teacher Ignatz has something to do. The operation is urgent. We will do it first for the time being."

"Cesarean section is a major surgery, can you do it?"

"Then what if you can't come back?"

"Yeah, what if Ignatz can't come back? Can you complete the operation?"

"It's not like only your Municipal General Hospital can perform cesarean section. We spent a lot of money to see Ignatz perform the surgery, not you!"

"Now there is not even a chief surgeon, how can we still see it?"

Not having a surgeon will not only affect the operation, but also bring about a serious problem that only existed in the 19th century, that is, there is no explanation.

No one introduced the patient, no one introduced the development of the disease, and no one explained the purpose of the operation. Although the audience did not care about these things, not listening and not speaking are two different concepts. Without the prelude, it will always make people feel uncomfortable.

I feel like something is missing.

It just doesn't taste right.

The audience members who had been feasting just now put down their knives and forks one by one, and remained silent for a moment, hoping that Hills could give them a reasonable reason to continue watching. After all, I have watched surgeries in the surgery theater for so many years, and I have never seen anything messy.

However, the temporary absence of the chief surgeon would not cause them to leave the meeting angrily.

However, Hills froze in front of the wash basin and said nothing.

A guy who wanted to reach the pinnacle of surgery had no desire to express himself in the face of such an opportunity, which surprised Kawei. What surprised him even more was that even Herman, who was standing aside, did not say a word.

He just washed his hands silently and watched the audience get up and walk out the door one by one.

Ignatz's absence plays into Kawei's hands, but the audience cannot be absent. Without the audience, how can this operation be performed...

Kawei suddenly found that he seemed to have been integrated into the strange circle of the development of surgical abnormalities in the 19th century, and regarded surgery as a performance show of personal skills.

To be honest, although it is inhumane to the patient and destroys privacy, it is quite interesting from the perspective of the surgeon.

Thinking back, such a strange surgical theater also has a reason for its existence. In the absence of large-scale international medical conferences, it just fills the gap caused by the imperfect medical system, and also gives surgeons an opportunity to stand out.

If you want to stand out, you have to win the hearts of the audience, and even Kawi, who has mastered skills after more than 100 years of experience, is no exception.

"Everyone, please stay!"

The first thing he has to do is to retain people first. Whether it is to make a big deal or to brag, retaining talents will lead to follow-up, and those who cannot retain will have nothing.

So after attracting everyone's attention, Kawei stood in the center of the field and decided to brag. He first boasted about the surgery and then said: "If you choose to leave now, you will lose more than just the one or two hundred kroner ticket money.

And a perfect victory that only the patient spectators can witness."

Money is not important to these viewers, what is important is to see a wonderful surgery.

Even if they knew that Kawei was probably bragging, they still chose to be tolerant and stay in their seats to see the situation first. But doubts still existed, especially the daily reporter who got wind of the situation, Varela.

"How perfect? ​​I don't think even Ignatz himself can boast of such a beautiful mouth."

Kawi raised his fingers in front of his lips and warned: "If Mr. Varela has any opinions, you can wait until after the operation to discuss it. Now is our time."

"..."

Temporarily giving up the audience's idea of ​​leaving, Kawei prepared to divert their attention from the surgeon first and stabilize a wave of people's hearts: "Let us first invite the mother-in-law, Ms. Nora, to enter."

Hearing that there was finally a reaction in the theater, the host outside the door quickly coordinated with the transport workers, and under the protection of two midwives and Marcus, pushed the pregnant Nora through the door.

Marcus is in his forties and has been working for nearly 20 years. This is the fourth time he has been lucky enough to step into the surgical theater. The first three times were for cesarean section, but he has never seen such an exaggerated number of spectators.

The hot scene left a very deep impression on him.

He looked at Kawei standing on the court, and then looked at the looks from around him, and thought he couldn't do this.

It is obviously extremely inappropriate for a well-born gentleman to show off his knowledge like a theater actor.

But Marcus still gave Kawei rare encouragement.

"The fetal heart rate is now between 130-140, and Nola's heart rate has been very stable, around 85..." He patted Kawei on the shoulder, stepped forward and said, "I won't stay here anymore.

, there are midwives to help you, come on!"

Kawei nodded, sent Marcus away, and asked the nurse holding the air bag to connect Nora to the new anesthesia equipment [2].

Then he used alcohol to disinfect Nola's belly while introducing the whole story of the operation: "Today something happened suddenly. Ms. Nola suddenly went into labor. At 4:48 pm, maybe you are still admiring the afternoon operation, but I

As an assistant, he takes care of patients in the hospital ward.

Just at this moment...

Pa~

Nola’s belly ruptured, all the amniotic fluid filling her enlarged uterus flowed out, and the entire Obstetrics Department of the Municipal General Hospital was in chaos.”

Kawei was talking about the story before the operation, and his hands were not idle. He placed alcohol, gauze, bandages, and Ignatz's cesarean section equipment box in the preparation area:

"Nora is only 19 years old. This is her first pregnancy and she is already 9 and a half months old. According to obstetric practice, no surgery is necessary unless necessary. However, Nora has a slim body, a narrow pelvis, and the conditions of the birth canal are not suitable for vaginal delivery. Teacher Ignatz

The cesarean section operation had been scheduled as early as a month ago, and the time was scheduled for next week.

But God is not as good as man, and once the amniotic water breaks, we are forced to take measures."

First to catch the eye, and then to introduce the audience's emotions. Now that their emotions have returned to the previous situation, it's time to explain the operation:

"Teachers Ignatz, Hills, and Hermann have been preparing for this operation for two full weeks, and have fully studied the successful cases of cesarean section in Britain, France, and Germany. We already have the necessary skills for a successful operation.

The cutting and suturing speed is gradually approaching the accuracy required for successful surgery.

We are all confident that we can complete this operation."

The content of the speech was very plain, basically the same as what Ignatz usually said, but the audience could still see Kawei's confidence in the surgery from his tone and eyes.

Just like Ignatz himself standing there.

This confidence also misled the nurses, making them think that Kawei would be the surgeon today: "Mr. Kawei, the patient has been anesthetized successfully."
