Episode 478: From now on, amyl nitrite is used for chest pain [1]
Liston no longer draws his knife when performing surgery.
This does not mean that we have reached a level where we can do it by hand.
It means that he is stupid and doesn’t use a big knife very often.
Of course, it’s a bit different when it comes to cutting off limbs…
A scalpel was used to open the chest and remove the heart.
Snap.
But it still gave me a feeling of something dazzling.
First, cut the dog skin, then spread it apart to the sides, and then use a sternum saw to cut the bone… … .
He opened it wide and exposed his heart.
It may feel a bit different from a human heart, but it’s not like a dog’s heart doesn’t beat.
An organ that constantly pumps blood has the power to steal people’s hearts.
“oh…….”
“Indeed, Liston… … .”
“Wow, it only takes five minutes to open your chest and find your heart?”
In addition, Liston’s martial arts-style surgery was enough to captivate the minds of everyone present.
They were all doctors, and even though it was not their first time seeing this type of surgery, they were all making a fuss.
It was only natural.
Even I, who see it every day, can’t take my eyes off it right now.
“Now, this is the dog’s coronary artery.”
Liston shouted after finding the coronary artery protruding from the aorta, above the still-throbbing dog’s heart.
People who couldn’t stand it any longer came rushing out.
Then it started rumbling again.
“oh…….”
“I’ve never seen such a clean cut in my life.”
“Hey, you. Are you saying the obvious? Isn’t that Liston, Liston?”
“Well… … there are a lot of people in all of England who have had their arms and legs cut off by that guy.”
If you just listen to the last words, it sounds like some kind of devil, but in fact, it was done for treatment.
In reality, all those who were cut off are living with a grateful heart.
People who were cut before the development of anesthesia… … .
I don’t know.
Isn’t that my responsibility?
“If you tie this, the dog’s heart will stop.”
“Ehehe… … .”
“no way…….”
“So much blood is flowing into the heart… … .”
Anyway, despite what Liston and I guarantee, most people are skeptical.
That’s probably possible.
Once a perception is formed, it doesn’t change easily.
In general, it can be seen that generations need to change.
For example, the time it took for celebrities who were once called ‘tanttara’ to become the objects of people’s envy.
Perhaps YouTubers and web novel writers will also become objects of envy in 10 or 20 years.
“ruler…….”
One fortunate thing is that the people gathered here are not ordinary people.
Aren’t they scientists called doctors?
Scientists have always been known not to be stubborn.
Of course, this principle emerged in the late 20th century.
Before that, there were actually more people who worked hard to protect the world that originally existed.
Just looking at the heliocentric and geocentric theories… … they say there were more scientists who supported the geocentric theory than those who didn’t?
Ji-i-ik.
But compared to that argument, coronary artery disease is much easier to prove.
This can be solved by simply tying the blood vessel and waiting a bit.
Besides, these days, there are no heresy inquisitors who come to claim that they support the heliocentric theory.
“uh…….”
“Huh?”
Anyway, after tying off the coronary artery, the dog’s heartbeat soon became abnormal.
This is not to say that the electrocardiogram is bad, but that it can be seen with the naked eye.
“Why is it falling?”
“No… No way, really?”
As the people gathered around said, their hearts soon stopped beating properly and began to tremble before soon stopping.
“no…….”
“Does this make sense?”
“It’s strange… … .”
Then everyone started to blurt out words of shock.
what…….
I think that’s a good thing.
I am one of those who learned that the coronary arteries supply blood to the heart… … .
However, after hearing the 19th century argument that the heart is a place where a large amount of blood flows back and forth, so it is natural that blood exchange would occur there, I felt that it was more plausible.
It’s still kind of like that now.
‘If they had made it like that when they made it, 99% of heart attack patients would have disappeared.’
I muttered while looking at the sky for a moment.
Of course, I’m sure there are other reasons I don’t know about.
Perhaps the blood flow is too fast and intense for exchange to take place internally… … .
Or rather, this side may cause more damage more quickly.
What was more important was that it was a meaningless worry.
What can we do if the heart is designed to be fed by blood that enters through the coronary arteries rather than the blood that enters the heart?
“Did you see it well?”
“uh…….”
“No, he died because of the anesthesia… … right?”
As Liston said, some of the stubborn ones began to lie down.
No, I was trying to lie down.
But it was soon stopped.
“I tried it just in case, but it didn’t work. Surely you wouldn’t insist on opening that poor dog’s heart again for no reason? I think my words carry that much weight.”
“That… … No. That’s right. I believe it.”
“I believe you.”
That’s because of Liston’s persuasion.
Let us discuss later whether persuasion with a knife can be considered complete persuasion.
Whatever it is, if the result is good, isn’t that good?
Anyway, I continued speaking while looking down at the sight.
The original atmosphere was that you should ride when you can.
“Now, as you all can see with your eyes wide open, the blood vessels that feed the heart are coronary arteries. This means that they are not vestigial organs, but blood vessels that are still fully functional!”
“oh…….”
“then…….”
“Angina is a symptom that occurs when these blood vessels narrow and blood flow to the heart is restricted, not due to any other cause.”
“Oh… … .”
“But… … Then why does it get worse when I move… … Why, why do you all look at it like that?”
As I was giving that speech, some idiot was saying something stupid again.
Depending on the mood, everyone glared at him.
But I know.
Even among those who are staring, there are those who are thinking to themselves, ‘Why are you doing that?’
It can’t be helped.
Isn’t this an era where we still don’t fully understand physiology?
Rather, it’s stranger that there are people who completely understand what I’m saying.
‘You little shits.’
Another way to say that is to be a flatterer.
By the way, I don’t really hate flatterers.
Since you won’t be able to do well anyway, wouldn’t it be better if you could at least make people feel good?
If there’s someone who keeps talking nonsense in front of me, saying they’re being honest, I’ll just kill them…
“The person whose heart rate went up earlier?”
“Ah, ahh.”
“How did your heart beat feel at that time?”
“Ah… … it felt stronger.”
I pushed the negative thoughts away and instead raised the person who had been the test subject earlier.
Then he asked about heart rate.
The subject gave me correct answers as if he had planned it with me.
Yes, when you are nervous, that is, when your sympathetic nervous system is activated, your cardiac output increases.
A situation that would make a person nervous is… … .
In civilized times, things are a bit different, but back when the human body was forming into its current form, it was a situation where you had to fight or run away.
How can I do that?
Blood must circulate properly throughout the body.
This means that blood must flow to the muscles throughout the body.
Our hearts naturally have to beat much harder than usual.
“Do you know what I mean?”
“this…….”
“what…….”
“I think I know… … ?”
In the 21st century, it is a level of knowledge that anyone who graduated from high school can understand.
That is because it is knowledge that already existed and has become common sense.
Even if you have never heard it clearly, it is knowledge that you have heard somewhere, knowingly or unknowingly.
However, in the 19th century, it was a type of knowledge that was difficult for even the greatest intellectuals to understand.
‘As expected, the regressor is the best.’
That’s why so many people dream of returning.
Of course, even if you regress, it doesn’t mean you can become like me, a dog or a cow.
There is something I have come to realize only after coming to this position: there is surprisingly little that can be done with mere knowledge.
It requires a moderate amount of intimidation, persuasion, and above all, sincerity.
My true heart for this world… …!
“If you don’t know, try running when you’re alone. Feel your heartbeat or count it. Then you’ll understand.”
“What if that doesn’t work?”
“Oh, don’t worry. Dr. Liston will come and tell you in person.”
“ah.”
I don’t think the guy I just asked will ever call Liston.
Oh, but just imagining that expression makes me feel like I’ve lost my mind.
Well, I’m going to go and wave my sword around and let them know, but if there’s someone who calls that a good thing, then that’s a problem in its own right.
“In summary, chest pain is a disease that occurs when these coronary arteries become narrow.”
I waited for the commotion in the room to die down for a moment before continuing.
It was difficult to expect complete silence in this situation.
It couldn’t be otherwise, since it was a lecture that changed every paradigm.
No matter how open-minded a person is, can he remain silent when his own thoughts are being shattered?
So, from the beginning, I decided to understand some noise.
I am such an understanding person.
“If it ends here, it’s not me.”
“huh?”
“Huh?”
Besides, it could be said that my presentation was just beginning.
The content itself may be much shorter, but it means that the main point of what we are going to talk about from now on is this.
And I’m sure there will be an even bigger commotion than before.
Because after all, treatment is much more effective than diagnosis, right?
In modern medicine, what upsets patients the most is when they are diagnosed but told there is no cure.
Of course, it is much better than the 19th century, when people tried various things without knowing how to treat the disease, causing it to be much more painful and kill the patient sooner than before… … .
“Chest pain is no longer an unknown territory, because there are drugs that dilate the coronary arteries.”
“uh…….”
“Huh?”
It can’t be compared to the fact that there is a treatment method.
Of course, this is not 100% either.
It’s a temporary expansion, not a permanent expansion.
What’s important is that there is a way to make them live a few more months or years.
Above all, since there are hallucinations, it is more enjoyable to go there when you go… … No, this doesn’t seem right.
“This is the medicine. It’s called amyl nitrite.”
Strictly speaking, it is not a drug developed by our laboratory.
It was there originally.
They say that the person who created it didn’t even know why he created it.
So, when we stole the patent, or rather bought it, we were able to solve it quite cheaply.
If you find out the truth later, you’ll be very upset… … .
That’s just how the world is.
“If you have a patient with chest pain, you can give them this medicine. If you order from the TP Young Research Institute now, you will get a discount, so hurry!”
