Chapter 163 Dissecting Time

n

n

nWhile the people of Arcadina cried for the loss of their beloved goddess, Landon on the other hand.... was currently at the Medical & Healthcare Academy.

nDissecting Time.

nCurrently, Baymard had 52 professional Nurses and doctors within it.

nBefore coming here, these people were already known healers and apothecaries within their villages, towns and cities.

nBut because of war, some of them had ended up as slaves..... while others remained as refugees.

nAnyway, Landon had decided to show these doctors and nurses what the inside of the human body looked like.

nPresently, the students at the medical academy were having a week long break... before their final examinations begin.

nSo although no lecturer would be teaching the students, they still needed to do their weekly shifts at the hospital and clinics.

nHence Landon had decided to dissect the bodies in batches.

nEveryday, he would focus on dissecting one human body... until all 11 bodies were properly dissected.

nAlso.... he decided to keep organs like the heart, liver and so on... for learning purposes.

nToday, Landon was only working with 6 out of 52 teachers.

nBefore his teaching session began, he removed the dead body from the pool of chemicals.... As well as thoroughly cleaned and dried it.

nOnce it was time for the lesson to begin, everyone wore their surgical safety wear.... and headed towards the table with the dead man on it.

n

"Nurse Remona....what do you know about the patient?

" Landon asked.

n

"Patient's name: Adi

nAge: 29

nPlace of Birth: Unknown.

nMedical history: None available.

nBody injuries: the patient has 6 scar wounds around his back and chest.

nThe patient is also missing a toe on his right leg, as well as his left pinky finger.

n

"Time and day of death: 11:30 A.M... November 3rd, 1024.

nCause of death: 9 gunshots...

"

nEveryone nodded as they listened to the Remona.

nThis information was what all of them currently had about the patient.

n3 days ago, Landon had made up fake profiles for these dead men... and distributed them out to the doctors and nurses.

nHe had also mentioned all the surgical procedures that would be carried out on them during the operation.

nSo before everyone came for surgery, he

/she was expected to know everything about their patient before surgery could proceed.

nEvery little detail was important.

nFrom age, to even minor swellings around the patient's body..... All of this would aid them in choosing and prescribing the right drugs and surgical procedures for their patients.

n

"Good!!!.

nFor today's operation, we'll start off with the patient's chest and tummy area.

nFollowed by the patient's legs, feet, arms, neck, head and face region.

nAnd of course once were done with the patient's front view, we'll look at the patient's back view.. (butt, back and so on)

nThe main goal of today's lesson is to allow you all to understand and gain tremendous experience from the surgery..... As well as carefully removing all the patient's organs within his body.

nNurse Chloe and Nurse Idria, you 2 will be in charge of note taking.

nEverything that is done during surgery, has to be properly recorded down!... no matter how unimportant it may seem to be.

"

n

"Yes your majesty... sorry.....Doctor Landon

"

nIn the theater, Landon was seen as a doctor.... so they had to address him as one.

nBoth nurses quickly took their pens and notebooks out, and waited at the sides.

n

"Nurse Remona and Nurse Gilles, you both will focus on handing out whatever tools are needed during surgery.

nHere's the checklist... You know what to do!

nOh... and make sure you sterilize all the tools before bringing them here.

" Landon said, while handing the list over to them.

nTheir task was simple.

nSterilize the tools, and put everything..including cleaning cloths and so on.. into a trolley.

nAnd once placed, they were to tick off the names on the list and sign at the bottom.

n

"As for Doctor Wayne and Doctor Rufus, you both will assist me during surgery.

"

n.

n7 minutes went by, and the nurses with their trolleys had returned.

nEveryone immediately assumed their positions, and the surgery had finally begun.

n

"Everyone, we'll start off by removing the bullets.

nI'll start with the patient's right chest region.

"

nAs he spoke, the nurses taking notes were busy writing, while stretching their heads to see what he was doing.

n

"For this operation... Rufus, Wayne... you two will be my medical assistants.

nScissors!.. cloth!..... Povidone-iodine!

"

nRemona and Gilles, quickly took out a clean bowl...poured the chemical in the bowl, and dropped several strips of cloth into it.

nThen they passed the bowl and scissors to Wayne and Rufus.

nLandon took the scissors, and picked up a piece of soaked cloth from the bowl.

n

"Why do we do this step?

" He asked.

n

"For disinfecting!!

" They all replied.

n

"Correct!!... If a doctor or nurse doesn't disinfect a wound, then any of you have the right to call them out.

nNo one is allowed to do any surgical procedure without this step.

nForceps!

"

n

nAs Landon removed the bullet, greenish colored blood slowly crept out from underneath the area.

nThe stench of the man, immediately filled the air.

nSome of the nurses felt like puking... but they knew better than to do so.

nThis was their first time working on a man that had died for several days now.

nUsually when people died, they would burn or bury their bodies immediately... since dead men couldn't heal.

nAnd even though they had smelled dead bodies before.... especially when they aided as healers around a battlefield, nothing could compare to this kind of revolting stench.

nWas it that greenish blood that made it smell like this?

nOnce the bullet was removed, Landon cleaned up the wound... and did a neat 'Vertical Mattress' stitch on it.

n

"....So when doing it, you have to place your needle just a little distance from the wounded area.

"

nAs Landon operated, he continued to explain what they should and should not do during surgery.

n

"Doctor Wayne and Nurse Remona... you 2 will work together in taking out the bullets from the patient's upper belly region.

nAs for Doctor Rufus and Nurse Gilles.... you 2 should do the same for the patient's bullet wound just below his neck.

"

nEveryone immediately became nervous.

nWayne was hands were currently trembling as he held the forceps in his hands.

nAlthough he was a 'doctor', this was the first time that he would have to do such a procedure.

nSwords were never that complicated.

nIf someone left a sword in another person's body..... all he had to do was pull out the damn sword, pour alcohol or rum on the wound, burn the wound.. and bandage it with cloth.

nFrom there, he would give the patient a broth filled with herbs and leaves.

nAnd other times, he would just smear medicinal paste on the wounds.

nBefore coming to Baymard, he thought of himself as a great doctor.... but presently, his self confidence was at its lowest.

nReading and attending his Majesty's lessons... he had realised that there was just so much that he didn't know.... like the fact that blood flowed through channels within the body and so on.

nIf he didn't do anything properly, in the long run.. the patient might suffer even more from his recklessness.

nSo how could his hands not tremble?

nIt wasn't just him..... Doctor Rufus was also in a state of panic as well.

nTheory was indeed different from practicals.

nHe thought that by reading so much.. he would be prepared.

nBut clearly, that was not the case.

n

"Doctor Wayne, easy there!!

nWhen taking out the bullet, it's important to not push back towards the patient's skin... doing this might make the bullet damage the blood vessels around the wound.

"

nWhat Wayne was doing, was what people would usually do when their car was stuck in the snow.

nHe was basically reversing, so as to create distance and momentum for... when he would yank the bullet out.... which was not how the human body worked.

nWayne changed his technique under Landon's guide, and had finally succeeded in removing the bullet.

nHe felt like he had aged a full ten years after the procedure.

n

"Doctor Rufus... with the method you're using right now, if the patient were alive, he would've probably died from excessive pain.

nDon't wiggle the bullet around the patient's wound...

"

n.

nAfter 8 minutes, both doctors were finally done.

nThey had successfully removed the bullets, as well as stitched the wounds.

nTo give them more experience, Landon had let them take out all the other bullets on the patient.

nThe second time, they were still somewhat uneasy.

nBut by the 3rd, 4th and 5th time, their nerves had finally calmed down.... and their technique had improved as well.

nFrom there, Landon had requested for everyone to try pumping water into the blood stream with the syringes.... This time, the nurses joined in as well.

nAt this point, Landon truly pitied the dead man... to be a study experiment was really.... sigh... hopefully, he had found the 'promise land'.

nAnd after a while of continuous needle-stabbing, they finally proceeded to open up the patient's chest and belly region.

n

"Alright!!... let's go back to the human anatomy.

nLooking at what we have on display, can anyone name or list the organs or bones in front of us?

"

n

"Your majesty.... I mean Doctor Landon.... this is the heart.

"

n

"Liver

"

n

"Spleen

"

n

"Ribcage

"

n

"__

nThe more they listed, the more confident they became.

nAnd for some reason, it was more fulfilling, to realise that the books were right!!

neverything that they had painstakingly studied, was presently in front of them.

nLandon continued operating on the patient..... and at the end, the poor guy had been torn and sliced into pieces by everyone within the room.

nHeck!!... Even his face and eye balls were removed for research purposes.

nThey placed their body parts in jugs of chemicals, for preservation.

nAnd at the end of their lecture, Landon gave them a 1 hours quiz that covered everything that they had done today.

nWith that, Dissection 101 was finally over.
