Chapter 1476 Little Guy, Are You Interested in Visiting Sky Dragon Island?
No matter how the golden dragon Vargis jumps, sprays, or wails;
No matter how much my brother-in-law looked sideways at Grete;
No matter how Serira and Elder Batista looked sideways...
Gretel still got what he wanted.
There were five ordinary lizards, two ice lizards, two alligators (Gretel strongly suspected that they were caught to watch his jokes), and two pseudo-dragons of different types.
The smallest one is only as long as his forearm. The largest one, Gretel, looks at the two pseudo-dragons. They are longer than Apa's deer form...
"Sir, please tell us what you want to do." The cloud giant Rum and his teammates worked in pairs. They held the two pseudo-dragons and brought them to Gretel. They spun them around and carried them out again:
"Which one you want, and what you want to do with it, wait until we are ready, then you can do it!"
Gretel: "..."
No, how low your evaluation of my hands-on ability is!
I am also a level 15 magician after all!
With all the constant spells and magic equipment on my body, two mere pseudo-dragons still can't hurt me! You don’t have to worry about me being beaten to death or injured by it!
Even so, Gretel had no intention of arguing with them. He sat down in the laboratory, adjusted the microscope, prepared various anatomy equipment, and gave instructions:
"Bring me a regular lizard. Any one will do."
He killed the lizard, took the body for a CT scan, then calmed down and began the dissection. The craniotomy was performed, the brain was removed, and the temporal bones were separated.
Then, take the thinnest scalpel and repair it bit by bit, bit by bit, bit by bit...
Eliminate the surrounding parts and build the general shape of the semicircular canals, ampulla, vestibule, and cochlea...
Thank God, lizards have this set of organs!
Unfortunately, he is studying medicine, not biology. He really doesn't know whether creatures other than humans have this set of hearing and position sensing organs...
Even for the Dragon Clan, he had to look at the CT scan to confirm that this race had these things. As for the lizards, he was just guessing. He felt that the two races were relatively closely related...
"oops!"
My hand slipped!
This semicircular canal is too small! The semicircular canals of the adult inner ear have a span, height, and outer diameter of less than 1 centimeter, let alone a lizard as long as a forearm! My hands were really shaking, and the part I shouldn't have cut was cut off...
Fortunately, I'm not afraid of cutting it off.
Grete calmed down, placed the cut part next to the petri dish, and slowly scraped away the bone around the bony semicircular canals, revealing each bony semicircular canal.
Next, the ampulla, vestibule, and cochlea are revealed bit by bit. Finally, the blade turned, pressed gently, and cut the vestibule in half:
Vestibular utricle!
Vestibular balloon!
Let me see if there's anything I'm looking for... Great, there really is!
Gretel let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed. He had long suspected that Varghese had otolithiasis. The duration of vertigo, the cause of vertigo, ear trauma, and various other characteristics all supported this judgment——
The only question is, do dragons have otoliths?
In case he had made up his mind, he was ready to start treatment, trying every possible means to reset the patient's position. In the end, he found that creatures like dragons had no otoliths at all...
He didn't say whether he was making a joke or not. He would shake the opponent's head back and forth, or even roll it repeatedly. Just shake, roll, or faint. Doesn't this add unnecessary pain to the patient?
Now that it has been proven that lizards have otoliths, the next step is to prove whether lizards will suffer from otolithiasis. This is simple. Grete grabs a live lizard, fixes it, and summons a small snake:
"Go! Get into its ears!" The little incorporeal snake pounced forward and submerged into the lizard's ears. Enter the external ear, enter the ear canal, enter the tympanic membrane, enter the vestibule:
"Did you see those tiny little things! Get it off! Yes, get it off! Then hold it in your mouth and go back, up, up, up...turn..."
The otoliths, extremely fine calcium carbonate crystals attached to the vestibular utricle, were knocked down by Grete's command and brought into the semicircular canals by the snake.
Gretel recalled the little snake, released the spell that immobilized the lizard, and held his chin up to observe:
"Hey, I'm staggering when I walk. Hey, I don't dare to leave. Hey, you climb up, climb up, climb up, you don't dare to climb anymore, you fall... Don't dock your tail! There's no need to dock your tail either. use!"
Judging from the lizard's movements, it is obvious that it has a problem with its sense of balance. As for this problem, is it directly related to otolithiasis...
The relevant inspection methods were clearly written in the textbook of the previous life, and Grete could even memorize them directly. But the problem is, the patient sits on the examination bed, turns his head 45 degrees to one side, and quickly lies down with the help of the examiner?
Hang your head on the edge of the bed at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal plane, and observe for 30 seconds or until the nystagmus disappears?
Or the patient lies supine on the examination bed, quickly turns his head to the left or right with the help of the examiner, and observes for one minute or until the nystagmus stops?
Grete picked up the lizard and looked left, right, up and down. The lizard stood motionless in his hand. He didn't know whether it was a stress reaction or simply pretending to be dead.
Grete held the lizard's body with his left hand, and held the lizard's head with his right hand, twisted it to the left, and then broke it back——
"Oh, it doesn't seem possible. The cervical vertebrae will be broken... Lizards don't seem to have as flexible necks as humans... What should I do?"
Not much to do. Gretel didn't dare to take human life lightly, not even the life of a lizard. There is no other way, so I first do the experiments I can do, let the little snake crawl back in, find the needle in the haystack in the semicircular canal, and reset the otolith;
When I let go of the lizard, I saw the lizard staggering a few times, then suddenly seemed to be stunned, looking around. After stopping for a while, he quickly crawled up, got into a special wooden tube in the corner of the experimental box, and disappeared.
Conclusion: Otolith repositioning, or removing the otolith out of the semicircular canal, can indeed help patients regain their sense of balance. As for the problem of the lizard's neck structure not being good enough to turn its head like a human being...
Gretel walked out of the laboratory and came to the animal room with his hands behind his back. Ordinary lizards, ice lizards, alligators, and pseudodragons looked over one by one and finally gave the order:
"Rum!"
"exist!"
"Do me a favor, get this pseudo-dragon out, and I'll do an experiment..."
The pseudodragon's neck has flexibility similar to that of a dragon's neck, and it can well complete the otolithiasis examination required by Grete.
That night, Grete stood in front of Elders Varghese and Batista, confident and talking:
"I think the reason why Varghese has been feeling dizzy is because a stone in his ear was knocked out of place. It just needs to be reset..."
"What? There are stones in my ears?! Are you kidding me? I'm not a sea fish!"
Before he finished speaking, Varghese started shouting urgently. If he hadn't been still unconscious, he would have jumped several meters high. Gretel flew out the mage's hand and slapped him hard:
"Shut up! I didn't let you speak!"
Sea fish, you still have kingfish! ——Speaking of which, the stones in the totoaba's ears are indeed giant otoliths...
"Elder, I have done a series of experiments for this, and I can show it to you."
Gretel simply turned to Elder Batista. There is nothing to say to the patient. The final treatment plan obviously needs the final decision of this elder:
"Then, let's do an inspection for Varghese to verify..."
Another poor common lizard was killed.
The other poor ordinary lizards, ice lizards, and alligators were harassed by little snakes one by one, and walked in front of the elder one by one.
In the end, the poor pseudo-dragon went through the whole process of being harassed by a small snake, walking around, having his neck opened by a giant to look at his eyes, and then being healed by a small snake...
"Um……"
Elder Batista stroked his beard and thought. The little guy's thinking was completely different from his, but it did seem to make some sense. Interesting, interesting…
"How sure are you?"
"Some confidence, but not much..."
Gretel pondered. To say that we are not sure, the main reason is that the physiological structure and pathological principles of dragons are different from humans.
This thing affects the whole body with just one move. As long as there is a slight difference, the appearance of the disease may be thousands of miles away.
"It's okay, you can try it first." Elder Batista waved his hand decisively:
"Come, come and check Varghese!"
"I?!"
Grete was dumbfounded. He looked at himself, and then at the golden dragon lying on his back which was several times taller and more than ten times as long as he was. Several giant force field hands flew out and compared with the golden dragon:
Still not very reliable...
It feels like it’s easier to control if you try it yourself...
But with the size of the golden dragon, do you want me to turn into a giant - a giant bigger than those cloud giants, and then take action myself?
Grete struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and broke the jar. A gentleman's life is not different, he is good at things and fake things -
"Sister Servilia, please grow up a little bit! Grow up a little bit more!"
The silver dragon deployed its floating technique and held Varghese up, making his whole body soft and unbearable;
The tree was raised to the extreme, like a giant tree with clouds hanging from the sky, spreading its branches to stabilize Varghese's head;
Gretel flew out four large force field hands, pressed them on the golden dragon, and gave orders:
"Everyone, pay attention to my movements. As soon as I push down, you guys should cooperate and relax! Three, two, one!"
He hung himself in mid-air, threw out two secret eyes, and stared at the two eyes of the golden dragon respectively. With a command, the two secret eyes flew downwards along with the golden dragon, and the light screen trembled:
"Tsk, these eyeballs are shaking so much that they're going to be shaken!"
Seeing the symptoms he was waiting for, Grete finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the old silver dragon. Elder Batista floated in the air with his hands behind his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded:
"It seems that it is indeed what you said. Little guy, you guessed it right, let's start treating it!"
Half an hour later, the golden dragon Vargis jumped up.
"I'm not dizzy! I'm not dizzy at all! I'm fine!—Dear friend, how can I thank you?"
Then it depends on how the dragon clan calculates the treatment reward... Grete thought silently, and just when he was about to find someone to ask, he heard Elder Batista laugh and say:
"Little guy, you are very good. - How about you, are you interested in following me up there to have a look?"
