Chapter 1386?? An Operation with a Mortality Rate of 300%

The door was snapped shut by Penello, and Allen's eyes lingered on Hermione's tear-stained face for a while.

Allen rubbed his fingers on his forehead, heaved a sigh of relief, his body seemed to shrink down, and said directly in a low voice: "I have to admit to you, Hermione. I know all these experiments, and they are I told the doctor and Four Eyes not to tell you, it was done behind the scenes."

Although Hermione was exhausted from tormenting herself because of guilt, she still noticed the strangeness of the other party—compared with the past, Allen's tone seemed a little stiff. And according to Allen's past behavior habits, he will be more intimate, such as touching her head...

So Hermione held Alan's hand and said with some pain: "Oh no, Alan, you don't have to make yourself responsible for such a mistake just to comfort me."

"Hermione, do you understand the development of Muggle medicine?" Alan saw that Hermione didn't believe it and didn't bother her, and saw that asking questions made Hermione habitually start thinking, so he continued slowly, "Explore the unknown. In the field of experimentation, there will inevitably be some dark sides and sacrifices. In the development of Muggle medicine, because there are no measures such as anesthetics and blood transfusions, for a while, I have been trying to be as fast as possible..." Allen paused, "Amputation surgery Some people amputated a thigh in less than seven seconds, and some military doctors performed more than 200 operations within 24 hours, with an average of one operation every seven minutes..."

Hermione looked at Alan with a puzzled face at this time and said nothing, wondering why he said this?

"Is there any additional advantage of being so fast? Of course, it can at least reduce the time of pain." Seeing Hermione looking at him, Allen smiled at her, "Is there any disadvantage? Too much...First of all , after cutting directly, the flesh and blood will be drawn away from the cutting surface, which results in the bones being left outside, and the flesh and blood sawed with a saw is very rough, and it may even take several years to fully recover. In addition, the operation is too fast...It will cause An accidental incision." He paused and took a sip of Diet Coke, "A Muggle doctor named Robert Liston, who claims to be the fastest knife in Scotland, in order to pursue fast...fast means that the number of mistakes may be many , he once cut off the patient's leg in two and a half minutes, but because of too much force, he also cut off the patient's high pill; When he cut open the affected area with a knife, the teenager immediately spurted blood and died... and the most exaggerated one was an operation with a mortality rate of 300%.”

"The ancient Muggle medicine is terrible!" Hermione's expression became more terrified, "But 300%? Why did three people die when one was operated on?"

"At that time, when Liston went down with the saw, the patient's leg was cut off immediately, but at the same time, the fingers of the assistant who helped the patient's leg were cut off. The patient whose leg was cut off by him with great speed died of infection the next day... This was quite It is common because the concept of disinfection was not available at the time, and his assistant was accidentally cut off his finger and died of infection; another innocent victim was a famous doctor who was present to observe the operation, and was stabbed in both legs by the blade he threw out It’s actually not serious, but it is estimated that he just happened to have a heart attack or something, so he died of shock due to fear...”

These cruelties in the history of ancient medicine made Hermione gasp in shock: "Alan, what do you mean..."

"And after this,

Liston pioneered the use of ether as an anesthetic and can be said to have contributed to the popularization of anesthesia...He invented clear gelatin sticky casts, a bulldog forceps that lock arterial clamps and started the use of leg splints to stabilize femoral dislocations and fractures , These are still in use today, and in addition, there is the Liston knife named after him..." Allen said seriously, "So Hermione, the reason why modern Muggle medicine can be as advanced as it is now is precisely because of These pioneers have piled up all kinds of bloody and ignorant experiments that outsiders seem to be even bloody and ignorant. They are accumulated from the long-term practice of understanding why this patient will die and why this patient can live. Let me tell you About me knowing what Four Eyes are doing is not lying to you, I did acquiesce in their behavior, and you also know my attitude towards the pursuit of knowledge and truth..." Allen put his hands on Hermione's shoulders, and He put his hands on her for the first time today, "Using death row prisoners and maliciously spreading the werewolf virus to do experiments to save werewolves, I am not wrong about this, and you are even more right if you don't know it yourself... What is wrong is to intentionally spread the werewolf virus. The mysterious man they used on Muggles...Hermione, think about it, if the mysterious man didn't use potions that are harmful to Muggles this time, but bought products produced by our umbrella...For example, the candies produced to kill people alive, Do you still think we are responsible? "

"Alan...I know what you mean..." Hermione nodded in approval first, but she still felt a little sophistry and shook her head and said, "But this time things are written differently, we could have avoided it, after all, The whole city..."

"Yeah, I could have avoided it..." Alan's face turned even paler, and he clenched his hands tightly, "But this crime has nothing to do with you, it's my responsibility..." Ai Lun Lun spoke more slowly, and he started to look at Hermione, "Hermione, your eyes are bloodshot, you are too tired...I will take you back to the island in the middle of the lake to sleep well, and you will have a good sleep after you wake up." Focus on other things…”

"I can't, Alan, what Dumbledore and Penello said just now is right, there is always something I can do, I should act..." Hermione said, she looked up at Alan and she was also a little red eyes, "Besides, you should..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hermione lost consciousness in a black moment. She was hugged by Allen in his arms. Allen didn't give her any room to argue, and directly used magic to make Hermione fall into a deep sleep, and then he stepped on Into the Shadows took Hermione back to the castle on Lake Island, carried Hermione to the double bed in her room here, took off her coat and covered her with the quilt.

Then Alan, who started to leave, stopped, turned back and squatted beside the bed, stretched out his right hand, stroked Hermione's hair gently, and then put his finger on her forehead. After visible magic fluctuations, he pulled the quilt for her again and then turned and left the room.

As soon as Allen came out of the room, Helena came out from behind the pillar on one side.

"Father." The female ghost pointed her finger in the direction of Hermione's room, "What happened to Miss Granger? I saw that she seemed to have fainted?"

"This incident broke her down a bit. I think she is too tired...so let her sleep for a few hours." Alan waved his hand weakly. In fact, besides letting Hermione fall asleep, he also tried to use the previous Luna's magic, which can influence other people's brains to ignore some problems, is not very proficient, but it should make her feel less guilty after waking up.

"I saw that Miss Clearwater also knocked down the statue while walking." Helena nodded, and then said unhappily, "But father, maybe you should pay attention to your mother? Mrs. Malfoy and I I haven't seen her for days... Do you know where she is... She is still pregnant and no one is around her, I am a little worried... You know, mom can't take care of herself very well."

"Your mother...she's busy with her own business these days." Allen tried to show a soothing smile on his bloodless face, "Helena, don't worry, your mother is amazing...I think she should be going out I went to find something I wanted to eat...I guarantee that she will come back in a while, there will be no danger...You know that we have a blood alliance that can perceive each other's status and position..."
