Cao Cao can be said to be the Three Kingdoms period of the man of the hour, but his headache disease is also well known, in the Three Kingdoms period the most famous doctor is Hua Tuo can be said to be Hua Tuo also affect us nowadays, but at that time the medical equipment is very poor and the craniotomy coefficient of difficulty is very high, and at that time and there is no anesthesia records, even if Hua Tuo Even if Hua Tuo could have cured the headache, Cao Cao would have died of pain in the process.
It would have been difficult to overcome the infection if surgery had been performed. Under the medical conditions of the time, it was impossible for Hua Tuo to use a sharp axe as a medical device to make it sterile, and with head surgery under bacterial conditions, Cao Cao would have had an infection in his back after the surgery, and there were no effective broad-spectrum antibiotics at the time,just one infection would have been enough to kill Cao Cao. Modern medicine is so advanced that post-surgical infections still occur frequently, and the slightest mishap can have adverse consequences. Cao Cao's surgery at that time would have had even more unpredictable consequences. Therefore, unless Cao Cao's immune system is very strong, he will die.
Hua Tuo was a native of Qiao, Pei, and when he was young, he traveled to the Xuzhou area to visit his teacher and learn, "both through several scriptures and the art of nourishing the nature," and dedicated himself to the study of medicine and health care. Hua Tuo practiced medicine in all directions throughout his life, and his footprints and reputation spread all over China. The overlord, Cao Cao, heard of Hua Tuo's excellent medical skills and recruited him to come to Xuchang to treat him. Cao Cao's head wind and vertigo were common problems, and he was treated with acupuncture by Hua Tuo, which improved his condition. The Three Kingdoms Journal of the time recorded this: "Tuo needle spacing, with the hand and poor."
Although Hua Tuo had already invented anaesthesia, it was not just a simple matter of good anaesthesia to perform a good craniotomy,for Cao Cao to be so suspicious, Hua Tuo could have done it in other ways. to prove to himself the correctness of this program, such as finding someone with the same disease and operating on him in front of Cao Cao, and if it was successful, then Cao Cao would not have any other ideas.
