In any period of time, corpses that could be dissected were extremely rare.
However, dissecting corpses was so important to surgeons that in the early days of surgery, many doctors were corpse thieves. Among them, the most famous was the ancestor of anatomy, Andre Vesalius. He started dissecting animals, then went to mass graves to steal corpses, and later, he stole the corpses of prisoners who had just been hanged — because they were fresh.
Later, when the cemetery guards found Andre, the basement of his house was filled with bloody things, such as human heads, livers, spleens, kidneys, limbs, and so on.
Later, Andre, who bribed his way out, wrote the book Human Anatomy, and corrected more than three hundred mistakes made by the previous authority, Galen.
The previous authority, Galen, did not have corpses to dissect. Galen dissected monkeys to obtain information.
Considering that surgeons at that time dissected the human body under Galen's theory, it could be said that surgery was the most obvious example of the spiritual world affecting the material world.
Many people could have survived, as long as doctors could dissect the corpses.
Four to five hundred years later, the supply of corpses in the twenty-first century was still insufficient.
Take China's medical students as an example. Almost none of them could dissect a corpse alone and participate in the dissection of every part of the body … It would be considered a good medical school if they could do it once in each part, and the students still had to be active in class.
On average, clinicians in China only had one corpse to dissect for every ten people in their entire career.
Not only medical students, but doctors also did not have corpses to dissect.
Most medical students did not even have the chance to dissect after they took up a position in the hospital.
It was like a mechanic who could only watch people dismantle cars his whole life, but he himself had only dismantled one-tenth of a car. Under such circumstances, how difficult would it be for him to repair a car?
Many doctors actually wanted to change the current situation. A good example was the Orthopedic Anatomy Class in Huashan Hospital. The class started in 2004, and without any publicity, they only relied on word of mouth to quickly expand their enrollment from two classes to more than twenty. Those who received the training were all experienced orthopedic surgeons, and they were spread across various hospitals in the country.
The reason why everyone was willing to go all the way to Huashan Hospital for further training was that it was difficult for the hospital to obtain corpses for dissection.
For example, although Yun Hua Hospital was the top hospital in the region, they did not have their own dissection training. This was also one of the differences between the top hospitals in the region and the top hospitals in the country.
Sometimes, a corpse was more useful than a hundred surgeries.
In the face of the cadavers sent by Tian Qi, not only Ling Ran, but even Yu Yuan was not in the mood to be in a dilemma at the door.
Once they received confirmation from the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, the two of them escorted the cadaver to the first basement, one on the left and the other on the right. They carefully placed the cadaver on the dissection table, turned on the light, and took a deep breath.
This was the smell.
The dissection room built by the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center seemed to have been upgraded.
An autopsy room with corpses was like a real autopsy room.
Fortunately, Tian Qi was smart. She did not follow him downstairs at all. Instead, she went to the mall to do some shopping.
The shopping mall wasn't important!
It doesn't matter what I buy!
A place with a lot of people is fine!
Following the car to the hospital at night was already Tian Qi's limit. She could not take any more.
Ling Ran and Yu Yuan were happy to see that.
They circled the cadaver three times, each thinking of a plan in their minds.
As the saying goes, 'Young people do not know the value of cadavers'. At least in medical schools, there were still cadavers for teaching. If one was a little more thick-skinned, hardworking, and handsome, there would always be opportunities to practice.
After arriving at the hospital, clinicians could only rely on luck if they wanted to learn from cadavers again. Ling Ran was slightly better. He had just started his internship not long ago, and he had obtained three thousand dissection experiences (upper limbs). Yu Yuan had not seen a cadaver for a long time. She put on her gloves and could not help but touch the cadaver with trembling hands.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Yuan could not help but laugh.
At night, the lights flickered in the basement, and the laughter was sharp.
* Knock knock. *
* Knock knock. *
Someone knocked on the door in the morgue.
Ling Ran frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
"Doctor Ling? I'm Young Li from ER 2. We met during the last surgery. "A very warm and friendly voice came from outside the door.
"The last surgery?" Ling Ran was still recalling.
Yu Yuan snorted, looked at the cadaver, and said, "They're here to snatch food."
"Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling … open the door …" Young Li's voice was clear, and he sounded like a young wolf's grandfather.
"What should we do?" Yu Yuan looked at Ling Ran.
Ling Ran showed a socially acceptable smile. "Let's ask the cadaver."
"I'll be your assistant." Yu Yuan happily took out all kinds of surgical instruments and completely ignored the knocking outside.
She was now very envious of Ling Ran. Who would have thought that girls nowadays knew how to help people obtain cadavers?
If a man did this to her, she would have married him that night.
However, Yu Yuan was very satisfied with just being Ling Ran's assistant.
Ling Ran's skills were good to begin with. During the process of her cooperation, she had plenty of opportunities to come into contact with the cadaver.
The dissection room in the basement had a warm yellow light and a shining white light. There were also two young doctors who were immersed in their studies and a cadaver with a harmonious smile on its face.
It was a happy little world.
It was just like a paradise.
Outside the door, the knocking stopped for a while before it was heard again, and someone shouted loudly, "Ling Ran, I'm Old Qu.
We treated Liu Weichen together … "The bald doctor's shout lasted for a whole ten minutes before he fell silent.
Doctor Plain Bald's shouts lasted for a full ten minutes. Then, as if his trachea had been cut, he fell silent.
"Ling Ran, I'm Old Huang …"
"Doctor Ling, I'm Old Liu … open the door …"
One by one.
Ling Ran pretended that he did not hear them.
This was the time when he needed the guidance of the cadaver the most. So far, Ling Ran had performed four hundred cases using the M-Tang technique, nearly two hundred Achilles tendon repairs, and more than five hundred finger replantation surgeries.
In addition, he had also performed more than a thousand physical examinations and even more massages.
However, when it came to anatomy, Ling Ran was only good at dissecting the hands. He was quite lacking in the anatomy of the feet. Zhu Tongyi's Plan A was actually a plan based on the anatomy of the feet. If Ling Ran had the experience of dissecting the lower limbs for three thousand times, his Achilles tendon repair technique would be better.
In fact, if Zhu Tongyi had more resources, his plan could be further refined.
As for the anatomical knowledge of the whole body, Ling Ran was even more lacking. Now, Ling Ran really wanted to see the condition of the whole body's venous system. He was also very interested in the nervous system. But in school, the dissections he performed did not involve much about the nervous system.
Performing an upper limb dissection was also an excellent experience for Ling Ran. His anatomical experience came from the system. After all, it was just experience, and it was not a thorough understanding. Performing a complete upper limb dissection would also help him integrate his knowledge.
Ling Ran and Yu Yuan stayed in the dissection room for the whole night.
When they were thirsty and hungry, they just … endured it …
By the next morning, there was already very little that the cadaver could teach them. Ling Ran then asked Yu Yuan to pack up, locked it in the cabinet, and quietly opened the door.
At least there was no idiot sleeping at the door.
