1840Indian rebirth

"Aunt?" Zhi Zhi looked confused. He didn't even read the word correctly.

Ma Shao slowly explained: "Ether can put patients into a coma, allowing doctors to perform painless surgeries... You should know about surgeries, right?"

"I know." Branch nodded.

Indians also perform surgeries, even craniotomies.

In fact, not only Indians, but also archaeological evidence of surgical procedures has been found in the remains of many Stone Age societies. This is not because of their superb medical skills, but because of their courage.

One of Mashao's reforms to shamanic medicine was to ban most dangerous and unnecessary surgeries, such as craniotomy, and standardize those necessary surgeries, such as amputation.

"Can ether make patients pain-free?" Zhi asked again.

"That's right." As a person from the future, Ma Shao certainly knows this very well, "But this is just a theory. I don't know if anyone has practiced it."

Ether is difficult to store, cumbersome to use, and may explode.

Therefore, although he knew that the use of ether pioneered modern anesthesiology, Ma Shao had not tried it yet, and he had no experience in this area at all.

It is generally believed that the formal use of ether as an anesthetic began in 1846, pioneered by American dentist William Morton.

But many times, the development process of science and technology is not clear-cut.

In fact, as early as 1842 or even before, some bold doctors were already using ether for anesthesia, but due to various reasons it did not spread.

So strictly speaking, Ma Shao was not the first person to propose ether anesthesia, let alone the first person to practice it.

Of course, when William Morton became famous in the media for his ether anesthesia a few months later, he could, if he wanted, compete for the title of the father of modern anesthesiology.

However, Ma Shao could imagine that it would be almost impossible for him to win this title.

The U.S. government would not give this kind of honor and a $100,000 bonus to an Indian, and the $100,000 bonus was not given out in the original history because there was no recognized father of modern anesthesiology.

"After the clinic is established, you recruit a few white doctors, two or three, preferably those who graduated from medical school." Mashao said, "If you can't find them in the town, you can entrust someone to look for them in the east.

"

"Yes." Branch nodded.

Ma Shao: "Then you communicate with them to learn medical skills, mainly surgical skills, and try to use ether in surgery."

After a pause, he continued: "If you can be the first to master the operation of ether anesthesia, you may become one of the greatest doctors of this era."

"The greatest doctor..." Branch blinked.

The horse whistle finally told them: "As Apache shamans, whether you are a doctor or a teacher in Clark Town, you all shoulder another mission, which is to pass on civilization-to transform every patient and patient you heal.

Every student taught.”

"The Great Spirit is above!" the two shamans said solemnly.

Then Ma Shao went to Clark Garment Factory and listened to Mary's report on the current situation of the factory.

"...Our jeans have been sold to Chicago, Detroit, Louisville, Toledo, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis." Mary said with great enthusiasm. It can be seen that she is proud of her work, "More and more...

Wholesalers want to buy from us.”

"Well done, you are a competent manager." Mashao nodded.

Mary changed the topic at this time: "However, imitations have also appeared on the market. Some tailors and a company have begun to make and sell jeans."

Ma Shao was not surprised by this and asked casually: "How are you going to deal with it?"

Mary: "The garment factory has hired a lawyer to sue that company. As for those little tailors, I have not dealt with them. I guess there are quite a few of them."

"That's fine." Ma Shao said, "It's impossible to completely ban the imitation of jeans."

Mary was silent for a second: "We don't have to worry about competition now. There are at least two million potential customers for jeans in the United States. But in the future, the growth of the factory will definitely slow down. Do you have any ideas?"

Horse whistle: "Yes."

Seeing his relaxed expression, as if he was answering some elementary school arithmetic problem, Mary couldn't help but open her eyes wide: "What is it?"

"Well... let's talk about it after a while. The United States and Mexico are about to go to war. This is what I am most concerned about at the moment." Ma Shao thought for a while.

"Okay." Mary was very curious, but in the end she suppressed her curiosity.

She glanced at the jeans on Ma Shao's legs: "Your pants seem a little short."

Ma Shao also remembered this matter: "By the way, you have to help me make some new pairs of trousers. I should be able to wear them for a long time this time - my height has stopped growing."

Mary looked up at him: "How tall are you now?"

Horse whistle: "One meter eighty-eight."

Mary frowned: "One meter eighty eight, how much is that?"

"It's six feet two inches," Ma Shao said in a different way, and then couldn't help complaining, "I really can't stand this weird unit system."

Mary smiled: "What's strange about you is that no one would describe height like this. Also, you don't seem to like talking about pounds, gallons and the like."

"Meters, kilograms, and liters are more scientific unit systems. Believe me, sooner or later, the whole world will use it." Ma Shao said that one of his biggest ill intentions towards the United States is the imperial unit.

Just to eliminate the British units, he even wanted to destroy the White House.

"You are so tall, almost a foot taller than me. You look like a giant." Mary couldn't help but sigh, "Are you really fourteen years old?"

"Otherwise?" Ma Shao smiled, "Is there anyone who is still growing taller at the age of twenty-four?"

"I think you might be a thousand years old, just like those Titans in mythology." Mary joked, "Titans are also very tall."

"Ha ha."

If we look at future generations, although he is still a big man at 1.88 meters, he cannot be called a giant. It is just that the average stature of human beings is shorter now, and in comparison, this height is quite astonishing.

He is 1.88 meters tall, muscular, and basically has the figure of Captain America. From a subjective impression point of view, when people of this era see him, they may feel closer to how he feels when they see Dwayne Johnson.

With such a burly figure, naturally, Ma Shao could only make custom-made clothes.

Workers in the garment factory took detailed body measurements of Ma Shao and then prepared to make clothes.

But before that, Ma Shao first took out a drawing and gave it to Mary and the tailor.

Mary looked at the pattern on it and couldn't help but ask: "What is this? A pair of fists?"
