Chapter 351 Drilling and Drainage Technique Under the Guidance of the Virtual Body
If you want to know what's going on in a patient's body, just recruit an incorporeal creature to take a look?
Gretel was stunned. Okay, it's not scientific at all, but it's pretty magical.
If doctors in previous lives knew this trick, they would probably burst into tears and envy such medical conditions. Oh, some seniors may also ask how they can turn into a virtual body after death so that they can observe with their naked eyes and make further progress.
Although by that time, it is estimated that there will be no "naked eyes" anymore...
Grete complained silently, focusing on Archmage Serrano's narration. Well, the observation effect of incorporeal creatures is indeed good. Which small blood vessels are broken, where there are a bunch of blood clots, and the cerebrospinal fluid is red. They can all be described.
Occasionally there are places that cannot be described. Archmage Serrano points his finger, and with a whoosh sound, another gust of cold wind blows past him...
Let incorporeal creatures take a look again? One thing to say, this is much more convenient than having to get a new mirror if you can’t see clearly through a gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or bronchoscopy.
As for the amount of cerebral hemorrhage...
Gretel took out the record book, retrieved the [Endless Quill], and started counting on the spot.
Hey, there are descriptions of incorporeal creatures. Calculating blood volume by looking at the image outlined by [Silent Phantom] is much more convenient than calculating blood volume with a CT chart. The latter is said to require formulas, but he has never calculated it anyway; the former... the former is just a matter of solid geometry!
You can do it with high school math!
The more Grete calculated, the more solemn his expression became. After completing the calculation, he took a deep breath, turned around and pointed at the [Silent Phantom] in front of him, and explained to the patient's wife:
"Please take a look. The patient was in the process of going crazy. The blood vessels in his brain burst and there was a lot of blood. This is what an incorporeal creature would see when he went in. Your Excellency Martin's treatment has stopped the bleeding, but There was too much bleeding before, which formed a blood clot and compressed the brain. Therefore, the patient could not wake up, could not speak, and could not move."
"What should we do?" The woman wearing white wolf skin frowned and said:
"The bleeding has stopped. If we use it again - do we need to cut open the skull and take out the blood clots? Will it hurt the brain???"
Cut open the skull?
Sister, you are very brave!
Gretel was impressed. But recall that the skulls of primitive humans discovered by archeology in previous generations do have traces of the skull being drilled or even removed. Some of the skull edges even showed signs of bone regrowth, indicating that the patient had survived the surgery.
It can be seen that when ancient people were brave, it was not as easy as modern people, let alone with the blessing of healing...
"It's like this. The brain is not one whole piece, but two hemispheres, and the cerebellum and other parts below are different pieces..." Grete explained in as much detail as possible. Unexpectedly, Olga simply waved her hand:
"No need to explain, I've seen it with my own eyes. Just tell me what to do."
You haven’t cut off a human brain with your own hands, right sister?
Grete almost shuddered. He looked at Olga with special admiration and answered cautiously:
"My idea is that you only need to cut a small hole. Put a tube in and suck out the blood clots inside. A thin, flexible tube can be inserted gently to avoid damage to the greatest extent. I have a way I can see the position of the tube and there are some subtleties. It would be better if the incorporeal creature could help guide me."
"Okay." Archmage Serrano nodded solemnly at the side. He looked at the white wolf skin on Olga's shoulder and the black crow bone staff in her hand with cautious eyes:
"I can use [Silent Phantom] to make a model and mark the location where the blood vessels arrive. If it is still off and the brain is damaged -"
His concerns received two answers at the same time. Grete interfaced:
"I will try to be as precise as possible in my operations. The damage will not be too great, and my healing skills should be enough to handle it."
Gretel's voice was slightly hesitant, but every word was unambiguous. On the contrary, Pastor Martin is very confident:
"I'll always be ready to take action."
"good!"
Olga high fived. She bowed slightly to the three of them and stared at Gretel:
"You tell me what you want us to prepare! Please go ahead and cure it. Even if it cannot be cured, we will remember your kindness!"
Grete nodded vigorously. He directed everyone to move the giant man indoors, clean the room, and hang clean white cloths on the roof and around the room. I washed the giant man's hair, face, shaved his hair, and used the cleaning technique to sweep it over again. Take out the alcohol and wipe, wipe, wipe——
Then, open the skull!
Gretel was really unprepared for the craniotomy. There is no saw or drill, and he is not a surgeon or orthopedic surgeon. However, unexpectedly, Olga took out a small silver dagger, blew on it, and immediately a familiar light shone on it:
"Where to cut it?"
Uh, enchant the weapon and then go straight to it? Sister, don’t be so brave! At the very least, wash your hands first!
Gretel rushed her to wash her hands, and she was busy preparing everything such as the syringe for suction. By the time Olga came back, Grete had already cast a local anesthesia spell and used [Mage's Technique] to draw a 3 cm long arc on the scalp according to the location of the hematoma:
"Take your time and cut along my arc, don't go too deep. Cut the scalp first -"
The silver dagger turned lightly in Olga's hand. A small piece of scalp was cut open, and blood immediately poured out. Pastor Martin just said something on the side: "This will flow into my mind——"
The mage's hand has already flown up and opened the skin flap. Gretel quickly tapped the glass rod in his hand.
There is a thin silver wire sandwiched in the glass rod. It is an auxiliary device made by Gretel to guide the bacterial growth technique and focus the scope of the magic. At the top of the silver wire, a tiny light shone silently, and slight skin bleeding stopped immediately.
Well done!
Grete cheered himself up. Rinse the skull with normal saline and expose the bony plates. The mage's hand struck out for the second time, peeling off the periosteum, and then, using [Mage's Trick], he drew another small circle on the exposed periosteum:
"This is it. Just drill a hole."
The silver dagger turned again. A tiny mark appeared on the patient's skull and he remained motionless.
Gretel: "..."
Sister, are you planning to row with bare hands? For bones as hard as the skull, we use electric drills to fix them in clinic!
However, Ms. White Wolf was really left empty-handed. Except for Gretel, the other bystanders didn’t feel anything was wrong...
Archmage Serrano threw a [Higher Demonized Weapon] for the silver dagger, and blessed Ms. White Wolf with [Power of the Barbarian Bull] and [Elegance of the Cat], and Pastor Martin dropped a ray of light on her. Olga took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, and struck out with the dagger again.
Soon, a pale yellow skull was picked at the tip of the silver dagger.
"Next, it's up to you."
"I know!"
Grete swallowed and stepped forward. He lightly made a cross slit on the meninges, held a seed in both hands, and closed his eyes in concentration. Emerald green vines swayed out, carrying a strand of silver thread that had been sterilized in advance and was thinner than a hair, and quietly penetrated into the meninges.
Grete squatted down slightly and looked straight at the patient's head. Opposite him, a mage's hand held an [Endless Ink Pen], acting as a live X-ray. On the left side of the head, Archmage Serrano summoned [Silent Phantom], and cooperated with the observation of the virtual body to demonstrate the route of the vines in real time...
Grete operated slowly. Go one centimeter into the vine and take a look at the X-ray; go in another centimeter and take another look at the [Silent Phantom]. The vines meandered along the grooves and gaps between brain tissue and kept moving forward.
This method of operation obviously causes much less damage to the patient's brain tissue than the puncture needle in the previous life...
Grete assessed secretly. Soon, the tip of the vine shrank slightly, gathered strength for a moment, then suddenly penetrated into the hematoma and began to stir the coagulated blood clot.
"This won't work...I can't suck it out..."
Pastor Martin said disappointedly. Without saying a word, Grete took out the syringe he had prepared and connected it to the other end of the vine. Stay calm and inhale slowly. The speed must not be too fast, as the pressure in the brain will be reduced too quickly, which will damage the brain; it must not be too slow, because if it is too slow, the negative pressure will not be enough and the suction will not be possible...
1ml...2ml...3ml...Pull the syringe to the end, clamp the vine, withdraw the syringe and re-wrap it, and do it again...
Pastor Martin's healing skills kept flickering beside him. After withdrawing about 15ml, the patient's eyes suddenly flickered slightly.
"Wake up! He's conscious!"
Pastor Martin said happily. Gretel's expression remained unchanged:
"Continue! Just wake up! You can continue doing it even if you wake up!"
In previous lives, it was not unusual for doctors to talk to patients while performing craniotomy!
The operation took nearly an hour. At the end of the operation, after the dura mater was treated layer by layer, the skull was healed, and the scalp was healed, the patient was able to blink slightly. Pastor Martin walked around and around, sensing the patient's condition over and over again:
"The aura of life has indeed become stronger...so next time when you treat the madness, can you drill a hole to let the blood flow out?"
Olga was very grateful and took a bunch of bear skins, black fox skins, and amber to the Crow Hotel. When she went to Pastor Martin's church to deliver gifts, she saw a group of knights in bright armor from a long distance away, blocking the entrance to the church:
"Master, can you please come with us for this operation?"
Under the firelight, the cloaks on the backs of the knights were clearly fluttering with the mark of the Lord of Glory.

Checking the videos and papers related to cerebral hemorrhage drainage made me want to vomit...
By the way, I gave out Easter egg stamps regarding the craniotomy performed by ancient people. Who told me whether you can see it?
