Little loves this story very much. Because it is close enough to life, but also dare to shoot. For humans, medical treatment is the second major event after food, and it is related to the survival and longevity of the entire human race.
So the problem is coming.
Before the development of medical technology matures, how did humans face the crisis of life and death disease? During the development of medical technology, what difficulties and obstacles have researchers experienced?
This CCTV’s latest medical documentary "Two Hundred Years of Surgery" can tell you the answer.
一｜Mysterious Anatomy
In ancient Rome, there was a man named Claudius Galen who was good at treating traumatic injuries for gladiators. He was the first to put forward the theory that "a wound is a window into the human body".
He has very rich medical experience. He perceives the importance of anatomy in the treatment and rescue day after day, and keenly perceives that only a comprehensive understanding of the structure of the human body can infinitely increase the proportion of medical success.
but unfortunately. Religious thought at that time was closed and backward. Doctors can only dissect the bodies of executed prisoners. Due to technology, even if a corpse is dissected by a doctor, it is always a terrible sight of blood flowing into a river.
Until the torrent of times has passed, science and technology have progressed day by day, and medical technology has become a little bit mature. Medical students finally stood calmly in the anatomy class, learning anatomy under the leadership of the teacher.
does not have too many dramatic shots, just the superposition and accumulation of scenes can make the audience feel the joy and fortune of the mature medical technology.
2|The amputation operation
which is as fast as 28 seconds occurred in the immature medical technology, and was performed by the British surgeon Liston.
has no anesthesia and no disinfection. In such a situation, doctors can only do their utmost to speed up the operation and avoid the death of the patient due to excessive bleeding. The consequence of
rapid operation is rapid death. Doctor Liston cut off his assistant’s finger and the patient’s genitals during the hurried operation. The bloody scene directly scared the bystander into a heart attack and died.
One operation, three tragedies. Let the audience infinitely lament the importance of medical technology.
弎｜The world's first hand transplant operation
This story happened in 2015. The little American boy who lost his hands was reborn with the help of doctors.
Blood vessels, bones, nerves, muscles, skin, each stitching process needs to be the most meticulous, and no errors are allowed. The operation lasted 10 hours, and no doctor dared to be distracted.
The result of this operation was successful, in stark contrast to the "28-second amputation" mentioned in the second story.
doesn't need much other description, the audience has already perceived the importance and preciousness of medical treatment. On
Douban, the score of "Two Hundred Years of Surgery" was as high as 9.4 points, and no audience gave bad reviews.
Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Italy...
For three years, the film crew visited many countries, filmed the most important medical museums, hospitals and medical research institutions, interviewed more than 50 top international experts, just to show the most rigorous The history of surgery.
For this reason, this documentary was cordially referred to as the "Instruction for Surgery" by the audience.
In addition to the "thrilling surgery story" mentioned in the previous article, "Two Hundred Years of Surgery" also captured life group portraits of many "medical researchers". In those difficult years when medical technology was immature, they were like the hesitant blind people crossing the river by feeling the stones.
-The doctor who proposed to disinfect and wash his hands before surgery was ridiculed and excluded. Everyone thought his suggestion was nonsense, and no one cared about it.
-Doctors who insert a catheter in their chest are considered lunatics. It was not until one day that the doctors finally succeeded in researching the "basis of cardiovascular intervention technology", and this behavior became a worthy behavior in the eyes of the public.
was ridiculed, beaten, and medical research was suspended,Even if tens of millions of people blocked it, no medical researcher had ever surrendered...
According to incomplete statistics, everyone will undergo 7 surgical operations in their lifetime, and everyone will face the threat of death due to disease. The most significant consequence of the rapid advancement of
medicine is to save countless desperate families, so that people who are dying have a chance to live again.
From this point of view, "Two Hundred Years of Surgery" presents not only the history of medical technology development, but also the cherishment and awe of life.
We need such a real documentary, just as we need medical help and treatment.
Even if we cannot achieve the most comprehensive understanding, we can also learn from it awe and respect for medical care.
