Chapter 601 Plastic Surgery
"All the wounded have suffered external injuries. As long as you are not infected, you can recover well. With your uncle taking care of you, you can't make any mistakes. Now you are recovering well.
As for the patients you invited us to treat, two of them have been discharged from the hospital. The woman was in trouble because she was the most serious. She improved for a while before, but the situation has recurred in recent days.
This time I came here specifically for this girl's disease. I chose a prescription from the Jinkui Yaolue to apply medicine. Unfortunately, this prescription still has no effect."
Lin Mo heard this and interrupted, "Grandpa, could it be Fangzi have any problems?"
As soon as Lin Mo said this, Zhang Shaoxian's face suddenly turned dark and he said angrily: "What nonsense do you say? What's the problem with Fangzi?"
When Lin Mo saw Zhang Shaoxian's angry face, he realized it later. When he remembered the Golden Chamber, it seemed to belong to the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" written by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and suddenly thought it was not good.
Because Zhang Zhongjing is a medical saint in history and has the same surname as Zhang, the Zhang family has always regarded him as his ancestor and questioned his ancestor. How could Zhang Shaoxian not be angry?
However, this cannot be blamed on Lin Mo. Although he learned some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine from Zhang Shaoxian, the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" has been passed down to this day. Many prescriptions in it have no effect and are not within the scope of his study.
After admitting his mistake, Lin Mo made Zhang Shaoxian calm down and said, "Jinkui Yaoluo is the ancestor. He has compiled a book with the thinking tanks of the predecessors who have been concentrated on the medical school for hundreds of years. The prescriptions that can be recorded have been tested by time and are unlikely to be ineffective."
Lin Mo still agrees with this statement. After all, China has been around for 5,000 years, not many people can leave a name in history, let alone those who can be respected as saints. They will definitely not be a person with false reputation.
However, it is a fact that many of the prescriptions in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" have not been effective. Lin Mo speculated that it is likely that something went wrong in the inheritance process.
For example, there was no printing technique at that time, and books were basically copied by humans, and mistakes were inevitably not allowed during the process. The errors accumulated more and more over time. For example, the Tao Te Ching has been passed down to this day, and I don’t know how much it is different from the original version.
It may also be that the times change, and the medicinal materials recorded in the book were different from the present due to the name change, or that the concept of Chinese medicine for today is different from that of the past, etc.
Since people can be respected as medical saints, the prescriptions he wrote and recorded may be limited by the times, but today it has become a prescription with little effect. There is a possibility, but there is little possibility of such a big difference.
"It's not bad! I can say something so I'm here..."
After listening to Lin Mo's analysis, Zhang Shao praised it first, then changed the subject and said, "But you know a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine. These reasons exist, but they are by no means the main cause.
The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine depends not only on books, but also on generations of inheritance. The role of medical books is more about reference. In actual medicine, it also depends on the experience of doctors.
In this process, if there is a copying error, it is easy to cause problems. On the one hand, it will make the copyinger extra cautious, and on the other hand, it will be easy to find and correct errors.
The names of some Chinese medicinal materials have changed with the times, but there are traces in many ancient medical books. At least people like me are not affected by this factor.
As for the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, it has indeed changed with the development of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, but the prescriptions recorded have been effective. We take the medicine truthfully according to the prescriptions. It may not be possible to achieve the best effect due to personal factors, but it will not be of little effect."
Seeing that Zhang Shaoxian rejected the possibilities he analyzed one by one, Lin Mo said curiously: "Grandpa, you can analyze it like this, so you should have explored the reasons? So have you found the reason why these prescriptions really failed."
Seeing that Lin Mo was interested, Zhang Shaoxian was also happy to say, saying, "I have indeed thought about it, and even conducted in-depth research. I have considered the possibilities you analyzed.
I have even practiced the different origins of medicinal materials in ancient and modern times. I have collected and read ancient books and found out the origin of some of the prescriptions of Chinese medicinal materials. I spent a lot of effort to collect them and process them in ancient ways, but unfortunately the same is true.
However, after years of careful research, I have discovered another possibility, and it is likely that the real reason, that is, measurement, that is, there is a problem with the prescription dosage.
The dose used in the Han prescription is verified by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty has been a thousand years since the Han Dynasty, and in the middle it has gone through two chaotic periods of the Three Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The Han Dynasty's measurement has long been lost and difficult to verify, resulting in the failure of the Han prescription."
The measurement that Zhang Shaoxian mentioned is just a big deal. Although the First Emperor unified the weights and measures, on the land of China, all dynasties and kingdoms basically stipulate their own weights and measures.
The period when Zhang Zhongjing was around 200 AD, nearly 17800 years ago. There were many dynasties in the middle, and the weights and measures of their respective regulations were different. Not to mention the Five Barbarians invaded China in the underworld of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the late Tang Dynasty even made the measurement and verification of the measurement and no way to start.
However, Lin Mo still had a question, so he asked: "Grandpa, since you have found the reason, why don't you pay attention to determining the dose of the Chinese prescription?"
"That's that easy..." Zhang Shaoxian shook his head helplessly and said, "Without any basis, I can only make a small adjustment at the current dose, but the deviation may be too large, and this adjustment is basically ineffective.
If you make major adjustments at will, you will not be responsible for the patients. I can use other methods to treat many patients. It is not necessary to adopt the Chinese prescription. If I am helpless, it does not guarantee that the Chinese prescription will definitely take effect, so..."
Lin Mo understood that his grandfather was stuck in the moral consideration of using human experiments. Although the experiment was successful and it was possible to treat more patients, it was based on infringing on the health of the patients who were tested and even taking their lives.
This is a correct consideration, and it is a trick that every doctor should have. Otherwise, there will be no strict regulations on new drug research and experiments. If it can be carried out at will, I really don’t know whether it will save more people or harm many people.
Lin Mo is not able to help with this matter at the moment. He used the Japanese spy he captured to test the medicine. First, it was a later perspective to let him know that the medicine was indeed effective, and second, it was a common infection, but there may not be any disease that needs to be treated with Chinese prescriptions. Even one or two of them would not have any practical effect. After all, it requires a lot of experiments.
"Forget it, let alone this, the Japanese devils are almost well. What are you going to take away? Keeping this affects the patient's mood!"
"Immediately..." Lin Mo came back to his senses from his thoughts and said, "When I leave in a while, I will take the person away!"
"Oh...you're here..." Jiang Mochen, who was about to go upstairs, walked over.
"If you have something to ask for yours, let's talk slowly! I'll deal with the matter upstairs." Zhang Shaoxian said, threw away his cigarette and went upstairs.
Jiang Mochen, who was smiling, could not hide the fatigue on his face, but he still smiled without any complaints.
"Uncle Jiang, thank you so much for your hard work during this period, really..."
"Oh..." Jiang Mochen raised his hand and interrupted Lin Mo, saying, "It's all a family, what are you talking about? Let's talk about the serious business first, what's going on this time?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded gratefully and said, "Then it's important, uncle, do you know about facial repair surgery? Or do you know people in related fields?"
"Face repair surgery?..."
Jiang Mo didn't react for a while, and after a while he suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "The facial repair surgery you mentioned is plastic surgery, right? If it's plastic surgery, just look for me. I've been in the plastic surgery hospital for several years."
"Ah??" Lin Mo's mind was full of questions. He knew that the facial repair of the predecessor of plastic surgery mainly originated from World War I, but he didn't expect that plastic surgery would occur at this time, and it was still in China.
"Uncle, aren't you a surgeon in a hospital in Shanghai? Why has it become a plastic surgery hospital again?"
Jiang Mochen heard this and explained: "I am indeed working as a surgeon in one hospital, but I am also a guest doctor in another plastic surgery hospital. This is not a conflict."
Lin Mo understood this way, just like some eyeglass shops nowadays, they would invite ophthalmologists in hospitals to work, which could not only introduce customers to them, but also invite people to consult when encountering some difficult situations.
"Uncle, how did you deal with the plastic surgery hospital?" Lin Mo was a little curious about this question.
"What's so strange about it? Although I am not a famous doctor, I am very skilled in the field of surgery. It is no problem to consult and operate plastic surgery for plastic surgery, and save the scene when necessary.
For me, plastic surgery can make money! Like a double eyelid surgery, it is completely a slight meaning to me as a surgeon, but do you know how much the medical fee is?
At least one gold bar. If I had surgery myself, I could have half of it. I would have had a minor surgery in a plastic surgery hospital, which would be equivalent to a month’s salary for a surgeon. Would you not do it? Of course, my main job or a surgical hospital is just a part-time job in my spare time.”
Lin Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, and was also curious about what the plastic surgery was in the Republic of China, what surgery could be performed, and what level could it be achieved?
"I remember you like reading books and newspapers? The plastic surgery hospital has made so many advertisements, and the entertainment newspapers often report celebrities and singers for plastic surgery. Have you never seen them?"
Lin Mo heard this and felt helpless on his face, explaining: "I don't pay much attention to entertainment news and I don't have much interest in these things. I just skip it when I see it, so..."
Lin Mo also has troubles, and he can read entertainment news. He doesn't care about the original owner. After he wears this body, he is busy with various things and has never seen any related news.
"That's it! Then let me tell you..." In Jiang Mochen's memory, Lin Mo seemed to be like this. He usually cares about military, politics, etc., so he introduced plastic surgery in detail.
After Jiang Mochen's story, Lin Mo only felt that his knowledge was shallow. Plastic surgery in this era had already become popular in the entertainment industry, and the people were very scattered and did not hide it at all. Some people even made a public statement about plastic surgery, which was completely different from now. They even published a book on artificial beauty, which directly wrote about women's must-haves.
At this time, there are many types of plastic surgery, including face, various electrotherapy, nose, lips, ears, hands and feet, and makeup.
Each major category also contains very complex content. For example, facial categories include removing freckles, spotting moles, removing various colors (yellow, gray, black, white, red) spots, thick and black face turns white, black neck turns white, white skin injection, facial keratinization removes, facial cervical removal, facial cervical removal, acne, fetish marks, removing scars, numb skin and flattening, facial tumor removal, facial therapy, facial ecstasy, etc.
This time, Lin Mo was very eye-opening, but he still had some questions, so he asked in more detail.
"Bone cutting plastic surgery?" Jiang Mochen thought about the question asked by Lin Mo and said, "Faceful bone cutting surgery, I know, someone has succeeded in the last century, but it is just a facial repair surgery you mentioned.
As for plastic surgery, I have heard of it, but I have never done it or seen it. This type of surgery is quite dangerous, it is not necessary, I am afraid that few people are willing to do it."
"What is the level of plastic surgery in Japan?"
"It goes without saying that it is definitely higher. The various plastic surgery surgeries in China are mostly from Japan, and most of the popular plastic surgery doctors have learned them in Japan."
When asked about this, Lin Mo knew almost everything he wanted to know, so he took out the photo and handed it to Jiang Mochen.
"Uncle, please help me see if the scars and injuries on these photos are left by plastic surgery?"
Jiang Mochen graduated from clinical medicine with a solid foundation in 28 meridians. He did not need to avoid Lin Mo's point of view, and he could easily find the scar damage.
"The possibility of these scar injuries is almost zero, and they are definitely left behind during the operation. Because of the bone cutting, I have never seen it with my own eyes. I am only 90% sure it is plastic surgery, but the damage to the skin and soft tissue is basically in line with the plastic surgery method.
If it is plastic surgery, the plastic surgeons who are in charge are definitely among the top in China. If it is a Japanese plastic surgeon, it is also among the first-class ones."
Although Jiang Mochen didn't say he died, Lin Mo was clear about the scar damage. These scars were basically left by plastic surgery. After getting the news needed, Lin Mo was about to leave and deal with other things, he remembered something.
"Uncle, if you ask you to forge scars, acne marks, moles, birthmarks for someone, is there any way to do it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Mochen glanced at Lin Mo deeply, and after confirming that he was not joking, he also thought carefully.
"I have read the moles I have done, but no one has ever made such a request for replicating scars, bean marks, fetals, etc. It is not too difficult for me, but I need time to think carefully and improve it."
"No problem, but it's best to keep the time within three months. I may need it in three months."
"No problem, one month is long enough, three months are definitely no problem."
Hearing this, Lin Mo was about to say goodbye, but Jiang Mochen stayed.
"Why are you doing so urgent? I have something to discuss with you!"
After saying that, Jiang Mochen was silent for a moment and said, "Lin Mo, do you think it is feasible if I develop into plastic surgery?"
