Speaking of Cao Cao, his mighty and unrestrained image immediately appeared in people's minds. His life was full of passion and ambition. But such a legend is also an ordinary person, and will suffer from diseases. Cao Cao often had headaches and was hard to find a good remedy. He searched for doctors and found no improvement. So he turned his gaze to Hua Tuo, hoping that Hua Tuo could cure his chronic disease.
Hua Tuo was a genius doctor at the time. He had rich experience in studying abroad and had some insights into surgery. He was called the "sacred hand of surgery" and saved many lives.
Cao Cao heard that there is such a medical talent in the world, and immediately sent someone to invite him to heal his stubborn illness. Unexpectedly, Hua Tuo uttered "Kuangyan" and tried to treat him by craniotomy. When Cao Cao heard this, he became furious, thinking that Hua Tuo wanted to take the opportunity to kill himself, so Hua Tuo was thrown into prison and died. The story of
is here, I believe you can't help but guess that if Cao Cao was not so suspicious at the time, and allowed Hua Tuo to perform this operation on himself, would everything change? Will Cao Cao stop having his headache, and will Hua Tuo continue to treat the common people? However, the expert’s answer made people sweat. It turned out that after the experts studied it, they thought that the meeting would be dead, and if Hua Tuo really used the sword at Cao Cao, Cao Cao would die immediately.
In that era, medical skills were not very developed, and it was destined that such advanced "cranial opening" thought was just a bubble. Although Hua Tuo was a genius doctor, the craniotomy was still more difficult for him at that time.
This is a very delicate work, even today is a huge challenge. Moreover, Hua Tuo didn't have any experience in this area at the time, and a slight miss would cause Cao Cao to lose blood on the spot.
In addition, the medical conditions at that time were also very backward. Although he invented Ma Fei San, which can protect patients from the pain of surgery, antibiotics were not available at the time, so Cao Cao was very likely to be infected and die during and after the operation. It is basically impossible for Cao Cao to survive safely after surgery.
Moreover, what is even more frightening is that the craniotomy tool Hua Tuo imagined was actually an axe. Not to mention that the axe is full of bacteria, very dirty, and its huge volume is enough to make people retreat. With such an intricate tool facing such a delicate organ of the brain, it is conceivable that Cao Cao must have endured a bloodshed and unclear death.
So, although Hua Tuo did make a huge contribution to medical treatment at the time and had countless medical results, the craniotomy was still a bit weird for him. There was a reason why Cao Cao refused to accept Hua Tuo's craniotomy until his death. If Cao Cao agreed to his surgery, the result would be unsatisfactory and he died immediately.
However, it is gratifying that we are now standing on the shoulders of giants to study problems. With the foreshadowing of our predecessors, craniotomy is no longer a distant dream, and it has saved a lot under today’s advanced conditions. Human life. Therefore, although Hua Tuo regrets his tragic death in prison, his spirit will always last forever, and the light of medicine will never go out!
