Chapter 499 Don’t Save Me! I Would Rather Die than Go Bankrupt! (Ten Thousand Turtle Rewards Will Be Added)
It takes a long time to expel the gas.
Gretel carefully controlled the gas flow rate and tried not to let the intra-abdominal pressure drop too quickly. Be on tenterhooks and check the electrocardiogram and sphygmomanometer from time to time for fear of something fatal——
Cerebral cavity air embolism, pulmonary air embolism, coronary artery air embolism...
Archmage Novak stood behind Gretel, and from time to time helped with healing spells according to his request:
The stomach is most likely to be perforated, the intestines may be ischemic, and the heart rate may even be abnormal. Although it is not yet time for abdominal surgery, it would be good for everyone to use some treatment skills to save her.
The Lord of Thunder found a seat in the corner of the operating room, sat on the floating saucer, and said nothing. The writing on the monocle kept flashing, and it seemed that he had begun his daily research again.
Archmage Baierbo walked out at some point. After a while, he returned quietly, with an angry look on his face:
"This is not the first time these guys have done this! I just asked them and they said they drank liquid nitrogen directly into their mouths. They have done it several times, but nothing has happened before!"
"Did he swallow it this time?" Grete replied without looking back:
"A small amount of liquid nitrogen enters the mouth, evaporates quickly, and can escape from the mouth and nasal cavity. However, once swallowed, the epiglottis closes, and the volatilized gas has no place to escape, so it can only expand and swell in the stomach..."
He made a gesture:
"Bang!"
"In short, these guys are just idle. I have doubled the number of reference books for them, and each of them will have a paper due next week. Look at them trying to die!"
It's just a matter of seeking death. Grete nodded silently. Liquid nitrogen is such a terrible thing. It's below zero...it's 200 degrees below zero, right?
Clinically, it is used to spot warts and corns. A slight touch will cause a black spot, and even the flesh of the skin will freeze off. These people don't know what they are thinking, but they dare to put it in their mouths!
"You can cure this guy as long as you want." Archmage Baierbo was still angry. He looked at classmate Mike, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and snorted coldly:
"I don't want him after he's cured. I'll just drive him out. Humph, if you leave this kid in Babel Tower, you don't know what trouble he's going to get into!"
"Oh, senior brother, he has caused such a big trouble, he should be taught a lesson." Gretel persuaded with a playful smile:
"Besides, after I cure him, I will write a paper, just this case. He will also be the second author by then. I feel bad for you to kick him out now - —”
"Is this all you need to write a paper?"
Archmage Baierbo's eyes almost flew out. Gretel nodded vigorously with a natural expression on his face:
"Of course! How interesting! Drink liquid nitrogen! I have never treated this kind of patient... Mr. Novak, have you ever treated him?"
The development of medicine is supported by each case. For general cases, write summary analysis; for special cases, write individual case reports.
There are no two identical people, no two identical organs, identical nerve directions, blood vessel angles, vital signs, recovery capabilities...
Case reports are always valuable. The pitfalls that predecessors have stepped on, the special situations that predecessors have encountered, and the special methods that predecessors have used.
"The Lancet", "New England", and every high-end or low-end journal, there is no shortage of special cases at any time.
"Neither have I." Not only have you never been treated, but how many years have you been able to develop such a thing as liquid nitrogen? Master Novak was very interested:
"Take one with me when you write?"
When the two of them talked to this extent, Archmage Baierbo couldn't stand his own opinion and must drive this disciple out. Alas, how about marginalizing him, or sending him to work for Gretel for a few years in vain?
I hate that Carlisle guy started so quickly, and now sending people to Grete's side doesn't feel like punishment, but more like a reward...
Gretel waited patiently for the nitrogen to escape. Seeing the patient's bulging abdomen, the skin gradually loosened a little and returned to the normal size of pneumoperitoneum. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out a few seeds from his pocket:
"Okay, now we can see what the damage to the digestive tract was like..."
He took out the ring with one hand, triggered the secret eye, and wrapped it in vines with the other hand and stuffed it inside. Mr. Novak took two steps to the side curiously:
"Hey, my intestines didn't freeze hard! I thought if I drank this glass of liquid nitrogen, my internal organs and all the internal organs would freeze to stone!"
"Ahem, that's not the case." Gretel shook his head. It’s only a few dozen milliliters of liquid nitrogen. It vaporizes in the stomach and cannot flow into the intestines. As long as it is not in direct contact with liquid nitrogen, it will not freeze into stone through the stomach wall...
The vine kept spinning in the abdominal cavity, pushing aside the mesentery and exploring it carefully. Archmage Novak sensed the position of the Mystical Eye, and when he saw the pale, edematous, and bleeding part of the intestine, he threw a healing spell over it.
Because of the accurate position, there is no need for high-level healing techniques. [Treat Minor Injuries] or even the most basic [Treat Minor Injuries] are enough to cope with the situation.
"This method of yours is quite good." The Archmage marveled:
"The vines and secret eyes are used to detect the internal situation, and low-level healing skills can keep up. It is much better than blindly throwing away healing spells. Alas, sometimes after a few healing spells, it is very annoying even if you don't know where there is a problem in the body..."
While talking, the intestines have been explored, repairing what needs to be repaired, and replenishing what needs to be repaired. The Mystical Eye exited, and Gretel flew out two mage hands, opened the patient's mouth, and inserted the Mystic Eye from his throat.
The next moment, Archmage Novak, who had been staring at the light screen, once again let out a low exclamation.
"Huh? There's no frostbite inside?"
"Normal." Grete used the vine to rotate the secret eye, carefully observe all directions of the esophagus, and said calmly:
"When liquid nitrogen first enters the esophagus, it is evaporating rapidly, and the evaporated gas isolates the esophagus from the liquid nitrogen."
Protected by the steam, the upper esophagus remains temporarily intact. But when you reach the middle and lower sections, you may not be so lucky——
"No, I must publish a paper on this." Archmage Novak began to dig around on his body:
"Oh, I didn't bring the magic crystal for recording. -Bailbo, do you have any here? Lend me one?"
"Let the tower spirit record it." The Lord of Thunder, who seemed to be focusing on reading and not paying attention to anything, suddenly said softly. He pointed a finger, and a piece of the ceiling in the operating room immediately disappeared. A stream of air rolled out and knocked softly on the top of the laboratory:
"Mr. Hermoncrus?"
"Salute to you, Your Majesty the Lord of Thunder." The familiar voice of the Tower Spirit of Babel immediately floated out:
"What are your orders?"
"Record the image of this light screen." The Lord of Thunder casually ordered. "As for the cost, even if it's—Bailbo, does this guy have any research funds?"
"Yes, teacher. 2/3 of his research funds for this year have not been used up. Mr. Hermoncruz, record the expenses and I will settle the bill with you later."
From this moment on, the scene of the gastroscopy surgery was recorded by the Tower of Babel:
Frostbite began to appear in the middle of the esophagus. Once the treatment is done, the esophagus quickly returns to health;
The lower esophagus suffered extensive frostbite. Fortunately, Master Novak's healing skills caught up in time, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the wall of the tube turn from black to pink, regaining its vitality and vitality again;
The vine passes through the cardia and enters the stomach. Under the light of the illumination technique, Archmage Novak could clearly see that the stomach wall was covered in large areas of blue and black, and there were obvious ruptures in more than one place. Gretel tsked while exploring:
"Sure enough, there is a perforation in the stomach... There is one here, wow, there is another one here - the frostbitten stomach wall is extremely fragile, and if it is bombed again, it will be like death..."
Really seeking death. Archmage Novak nodded silently, while Archmage Baierbo sneered on the side while counting the spells they used:
One treats minor injuries, another treats minor injuries, and one treats moderate injuries...
The hole in the stomach wall was pulled together by Gretel with vines. Archmage Novak threw a magic weapon to treat moderate injuries and forcibly healed it...
Another cures moderate injuries, repairs the frostbitten stomach wall... Controlling vines to do so many things, how many second-level magical skills are needed? Are two enough? Or three?
Or should it be converted into a third-level magic?
The arcane eye is triggered by magic equipment. According to the general rules of the council, it can be regarded as half price. However, the arcane eye itself is a fourth-level spell...
There is also this refuge hut, which was released by the teacher himself. Although the teacher doesn't care about the money, he can't be shameless and pretend it didn't happen... It's the cost of another third-level spell.
Gretel worked carefully, controlling the secret eye to move up and down the stomach wall, exploring a wide circle, fearing to miss any corner. Even through the pylorus, the duodenum was checked.
Then, exit the mouth and check again on the outside of the stomach wall. I rinsed, suctioned, and closed the abdomen layer by layer. I also dealt with the subcutaneous emphysema on the neck. I used a hollow needle to draw out the accumulated air, and then threw a healing technique into the eye of the needle. Archmage Baierbo recorded from the side: One, one, and another...
When the tranquility spell was released and Mike Wooster jumped off the floating saucer, his whole body was clean, without any pain or trauma, and he suddenly seemed like a dream.
"What happened? I remember I seemed to have fainted...Ah, Your Excellency, Lord of Thunder!"
He quickly paid tribute to the big boss. Turning around, his teacher showed a dark face and took a picture of the bill in front of him:
"Boy, I spent so much money in one go to save your life...you should pay it back yourself! Don't enter my laboratory until you pay it back!"
Mike held the bill in both hands and looked down at the string of numbers. One zero, two zeros, three zeros... one digit in front, two digits...
He let out a heartfelt scream:
"I don't want it!!!"
It would be better for me to die than to let me go bankrupt!
Grete huddled next to him and kept laughing. Just this guy, if he traveled to a certain country in his previous life, he would probably shout before passing out:
"Don't call an ambulance!"

This case comes from the story "Nitro Mike" on Zhihu. You can search it. Well, it is very unforgettable.
Because Nitro Mike is from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, so this magician is named Mike Worcester^_^
The extended reading mentioned that there are four similar cases of drinking liquid nitrogen or eating cookies, wafers or puffs soaked in liquid nitrogen. Without exception, the patients suffered from severe abdominal pain and pneumoperitoneum, some suffered gastrointestinal perforation, and some suffered severe gastrointestinal frostbite.
Although they were all rescued later, you still must not seek death.
