Hua Tuo, a miraculous doctor who has been famous for ages, is honored as the originator of surgery. He invented the Five Animal Play, which is of great benefit to the human body and has the effect of prolonging life. And his invention of the anesthesia is the originator of the anesthetics in medicine nowadays, so we can see the great contribution of Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo is a famous doctor in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as we all know, the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a time of frequent wars, people live in dire straits, the most scarce talent in those days, one is able to win the battle of the soldiers and generals, and one is to save the life of the doctor, after all, war is merciless, whether it is the civilian population or generals and soldiers have the risk of being injured, so the importance of the doctor will be highlighted. After all, in the heat of battle, both civilians and generals and soldiers were at risk of injury, so the importance of doctors came to the fore. Hua Tuo was respected by the world because of his excellent medical skills.
When Cao Cao, one of the three kings of the Three Kingdoms, suffered a headache, he heard about Hua Tuo's skills and hired him to treat him, and when he came to Cao Cao, he pointed out the need for a craniotomy. Craniotomy may be commonplace nowadays, but in those days, when all kinds of medical equipment were imperfect and people's attitudes were conservative, the mention of craniotomy was naturally shocking.
Craniotomy, as the name implies, is to open the head for surgery, not to mention the success of the treatment, but also the risk of the treatment process is very big, and the pain of this craniotomy is not something that ordinary people can tolerate. Although Hua Tuo had anesthetic powder and was highly skilled, the risk was too great. No ordinary person would attempt it, let alone the ever-suspicious Cao Cao. At the time, he didn't believe in this Hua Tuo stuff at all, instead he was so shocked that he thought Hua Tuo was a spy sent by Shu Han to take advantage of the opportunity to take his life.
So he sent him straight to jail, and in the end, a generation of famous doctors died unjustly in prison. But if Hua Tuo really did the craniotomy, with Hua Tuo's medical skills, could it be successful? Expert: There is only one end, is certain death, at that time the medical equipment is very imperfect, including Hua Tuo himself is also the first time to practice craniotomy, once he agreed to craniotomy, is to give himself a death sentence.
