Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 6: Surgery

   After briefly narrating the experiences of the two people over the past few days, Professor Black clenched a fist with one hand and placed it in front of his mouth with a thoughtful look. "I think this is probably related to what I am looking for you."

   "Professor, what are you looking for with us this time?" Edward asked curiously, his green eyes gleaming like emeralds.

   "It's a good opportunity for you." Professor Black cleared his throat and said to his two proud students. "A week ago, when laying sewer pipes on the high ground in the north of the city, the workers dug through an underground cavern belonging to indigenous people, and Baron Gonzalez decided to sponsor our school to organize an expedition to discover The ruins."

   "Baron Gonzalez? Is that the big planter who came to Eagle Fort from Drake Island in the south half a year ago?" Lawrence asked after searching his own memory.

"Yes, that's the nouveau riche." Professor Black curled his lips contemptuously, then said sternly, "But this is a good opportunity for you, you know, this kind of expedition often needs one or two team doctors. So I inform you to come here to let you see if you can join this expedition."

"Thank you so much, Professor." Lawrence said gratefully. He knew that it is very easy to become a doctor in this world, and you don't even need an exam, but if a doctor from a school like him wants to have Good development must enter the circle of upper class society.

Joining this kind of expedition is a very good way to join the upper class, because the organizers of this kind of expedition are usually celebrities. If you show your face in the expedition, it is easy to meet someone who can contribute to your career. Those who provide help, and Professor Black’s willingness to recommend them is indeed a great favor to them.

   But now the injury of two people casts a thick shadow on this matter. After all, adventure is never a treat for dinner. There is no small risk, especially in this world with extraordinary power. Therefore, once the injury affects the personal status, it can basically be determined to be excluded from the sequence of candidates invited by the expedition.

"I will find someone to investigate this matter and report it to the school. You don't have to worry about the next thing." Professor Blake looked at his two students and said, "The focus of the investigation will definitely be on the school, after all. Not many people knew about this before. As for opportunities, there will always be opportunities in the future."

"Thank you, Professor." Lawrence and Edward bowed and thanked. As a professor at one of the best universities in the White Eagle Federation, Professor Black can mobilize far more power in Eagle Fort than a sheriff or a priest in a remote town. many.

   So when Professor Black said he was willing to help Lawrence and Edward seek justice and promised to help them find other opportunities, Lawrence had a heartfelt gratitude.

   "This is what I should do." Professor Black waved his hand and said. "I can accept that my students are eliminated because of their inadequate level, but I absolutely cannot accept that they are eliminated by improper means. Because this improper means is a tarnish to knowledge and at the same time a humiliation to the school."

   Having said that, Professor Black took out a flower-patterned gold-shell pocket watch from his arms and opened it. Then put his pocket watch away and stood up from behind the desk.

"Come with me, Professor Liston has an operation performance today, and Viscount Gonzalez will also come. I originally planned to take this opportunity to recommend you two to join the expedition sponsored by him, but now, alas— "

   A few minutes later they came to the outside of a red brick auditorium, and inside was the operating room.

  After entering the operating room, Lawrence found that this operating room could hardly be called a qualified operating room according to post-world standards. It had no air purification system, no disinfection room, and even the most basic hygiene could not be guaranteed.

   Most of the space in the whole house is occupied by a semi-circular stepped booth. Opposite the booth is a huge skylight. The sun shines through the skylight on a wooden table surrounded by stairs.

   A few leather belts hung down on both sides of the wooden table, and there were suspicious brown marks on it. An iron bucket full of sawdust was placed against the legs of the table. A few workers beside the table were sprinkling a large amount of sawdust on the open space beside the table.

"It seems that we arrived fairly in time, and they started to sprinkle the sawdust to absorb blood." After scanning the people sitting in twos and threes on the stepped booth, Professor Black brought his two disciples to the first row and sat down. Professor Liston is the most famous surgeon in the White Eagle Federation. In the last operation, he only took 30 seconds to amputate the patient's necrotic right leg."

"Really-awesome!" Lawrence echoed. Although it is more like a slaughterhouse than an operating room from the point of view of the previous life, the knowledge learned in the previous years reminded him that this doctor has indeed mastered the extraordinary in this era. The best medical skills other than strength.

   Soon after they sat down, the workers who poured sawdust on the ground walked out. After that, the audience in twos and threes entered the house from the door and then each took a seat. It's just that the seats they were looking for were all far away from the table, because the first two rows of the operating room were reserved for medical school students, professors and special guests.

   Soon the people in the room were sitting full, and then a strong middle-aged man walked in with a young assistant. The middle-aged man among them is Professor Liston. Neither he nor his assistant were wearing jackets, but instead wore a yellow apron covered with dried blood and other messes around the waistcoat.

   Lawrence, who was sitting in the first row, could even smell a rotten smell from them, which made him lean back involuntarily. But the others around did not feel any discomfort.

The most exaggerated thing is that a fat middle-aged man with black curly hair in a tuxedo sitting not far from them took out a sandwich from a basket carried by his servant and chewed it. UU read www.uukanshu.com It's like going to a park for a picnic.

"Ah, the patient has already come in. You have to keep your eyes open for a while and watch his movements, because his movements are very fast. Sometimes you just need to lose your mind a little and the operation is over." Professor Black whispered to Lawrence and the others. .

   After hearing these words, Lawrence took his gaze back from the middle-aged man, and the other two assistants of Professor Reston walked in at this time pushing a bed with wheels.

   Today's patient is a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes. His face now looks ugly. After entering the room, the three assistants cooperated to lift the patient to the wooden table, and then fixed him to the wooden table with a belt on the edge of the table.

Everything was ready. Professor Liston bowed to the middle-aged man who was sitting in the front row and was eating breakfast, then turned around and asked the assistant to take a few mouthfuls of a mask with a gas cylinder to the patient. The patient soon He fell asleep deeply.

   This also made Lawrence breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, surgery with anesthesia is better than without anesthesia.

   "Time me, gentlemen!" After confirming that everything is ready, Professor Liston grabbed the patient's knee with his left hand to stop bleeding, while holding a scalpel in his right hand, he quickly cut the middle of the calf.

   In just a few seconds, the muscles and skin were incised. Then Professor Liston threw the knife on the plate held by his assistant, and took the bone saw handed over by another assistant.

   With the sound of creaking and creaking according to the bones, the patient's severely shrunken and blue calf was sawn off, and then Professor Riston began to bandage the wound. At this moment, a stern shout came from the side suddenly: "Lord Lord, Lord Lord, what happened to you?"
