Oh man right. In some ways this story is filled with anatomy and medical terms but there are also a few things sooo wrong about that surgery.
Haha I was like Boi is choking on his tongue oops
Also once they started I don't think they ever checked his heart rate. Like he might have gone to cardiac arrest but I guess you got the grenade out. They didnt really check any of his vitals and just went into the surgery.
Loving the comments about airway support, no monitoring etc... i’m an icu nurse for more than a decade BUT have been a manga reader for more than 3 decades (yes im old) and i have learned to just suspend my disbelief and go into manga logic mode.
I am curious, what kind of air support or monitoring do you think was done in the american civil war? This story is told in some ancient times it's clear. The idea of germs being passed wasn't even discovered until 1870. Chloroform was used for anesthesia.. And on the battlefield, things were often done hastily. I also ponder if any dr. in this situation, who had a head of state, a king, a president, an emperor, under pressure for political reasons, wouldn't decide to try and save that person. I am not saying I know the answers, but I feel you are applying modern possibilities to ancient times.
Oh, I didn’t mean anything complex. Just maybe head tilt-chin lift or a jaw thrust. Like basic stuff mr. blonde prince could’ve done ( Elise would’ve known). Maybe some ketamine on the side, perhaps? I don’t think ket shuts down resp system
I guess I’m just so impressed by the anatomy in this that I was expecting basic stuff to follow it’s still more accurate than American medical drams ngl
Ok yes we don't know what kind of treatment was done during the civil war but she is a modern doctor. She has used her modern knowledge before so why not now. Also if you don't minor ABC's ( airway, circulation, and breathing) then the patient can very well be dead. I work in emergency situations all the time. As a paramedic what I neglect can kill the patient and I don't work with monitors like surgeons I have to use my hands and actually check so i am sure old doctors did the same.
True, but how many panels would it take to show her taking his pulse, checking his breath etc... otherwise, wouldn't it be some kind of illustrated medical journal? I am already for it to get back to the story myself, haha
all ready:)
Anyone else triggered by the lack of airway support during the surgery? Good, goosebumpy chapters tho!
Edit: I didn’t mean full intubation, I just mean head tilt chin lift/ jaw thrust maneuvers
