Chapter 443 Passing Through the Gates of Hell
Li San Niang was genuinely surprised that Gao Da Lang would say such a thing, so she didn't react for a moment. Gao Da Lang continued, "Doctor Li, no matter what, save Rong Niang first!"
I can have more children later, and even if I can't have any more, I can just adopt one later.
But we must protect Rongniang. Rongniang and I were betrothed when we were young and have been married for many years. She is the most important person to me in this world!
I can't live without her!
Please, Dr. Li!
After saying this, Gao Dalang bowed and saluted. Only after Li Sanniang said, "I understand," did Gao Dalang stand up. As Li Sanniang passed by Gao Dalang, she vaguely saw that Gao Dalang's eyes were already moist.
In fact, in modern times, a cesarean section can be performed directly, which is better for the mother and can save the baby as much as possible.
But where would we find the conditions to do so at this time?
Gao Dalang was one of the few men at this time who genuinely cared about his wife.
It's important to understand that, let alone in feudal society where the continuation of one's lineage was of paramount importance.
In modern society, for the sake of children, or more specifically, for the sake of having a son, many husbands will refuse to sign documents for their wives in emergency situations.
The reasons given were all ridiculous, such as fearing that painless delivery would be bad for the baby, fearing that it would cost more money, and even thinking that having a C-section would prevent one from having a second child in a row, which would be a hassle.
They simply don't treat new mothers as human beings; it's as if they're just vessels for producing sons.
Logically speaking, everyone is primarily responsible for their own health and should be accountable for it.
Therefore, if there are any situations that require a signature, as long as the mother herself agrees, that is sufficient.
Moreover, in modern medicine, the primary priority is still the mother's right to life and health.
But reality slapped them in the face, revealing the true nature of human nature.
Under the marriage system, in certain emergency situations, such as when a woman is in critical condition during childbirth and cannot act as a person with full civil capacity under the circumstances, the first guardian of a married person is the spouse, that is, the woman's husband, who has the full authority to decide the woman's life or death.
Furthermore, you should know that every rule that seems incomprehensible to you is based on a lesson learned in blood.
If you're interested, a quick search of social news will surprise you.
In emergency situations where there are indications for a cesarean section and the doctor recommends it, the husband and mother-in-law lack knowledge and prioritize the child's life and health over the mother's own, refusing to sign the consent form for the cesarean section and insisting that the mother give birth naturally!
If the mother could give birth naturally, why would the doctor recommend a C-section?
Unable to give birth, resulting in the deaths of both mother and unborn child.
Then what?
Then comes the horror of human nature.
The husband of the pregnant woman will say that the doctor did not do a good job and caused his wife and child to die. Then there will be medical disputes and unscrupulous media swarming in. Even if the doctor and hospital are proven innocent through surveillance, autopsy and other means, the hospital will still have to pay the husband hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation out of humanitarian considerations.
Otherwise, some might cause trouble.
And then what?
The husband of the woman who gave birth obtained money from the death of his wife and child, and then used that money to marry another woman and have another child.
Who suffered the most throughout the whole process?
They are the mother's parents!
Li San Niang shook her head, stopping the jumble of thoughts in her mind, and turned her attention to Gao Da Sao.
"Besides hot water, Qiu Xiang helped me wash my hands and change my clothes. You, yes, you, aren't you the midwife?"
Li San Niang looked at the midwife who was standing to the side, dumbfounded, and said, "I would like to trouble this midwife to help me. After Zi Gao Niangzi gives birth to the baby, you can help me catch the child."
If anything happens to the child, while I'm trying to save the child, please watch over Madam Gao's placenta as it is delivered.
feasible?
I'm asking you, is this feasible?
The midwife nodded cleanly and replied, "Yes, yes."
Li San Niang activated her X-ray vision again to check the condition of the child in Gao Da Sao's belly, and then said to the old woman next to Gao Da Sao, "Prepare clean cloths, lots and lots of them, bring out everything you have."
"Madam Gao, I think your cervix is almost dilated. When the membrane breaks, push when I tell you to push."
If things don't go smoothly, I'll use instruments to perform an episiotomy to help you deliver. Don't be afraid!
Sister-in-law Gao didn't speak, she just nodded. She trusted Li San Niang. She felt that Li San Niang's calmness meant that the worst hadn't happened yet, so she just had to listen to Li San Niang.
The membrane broke!
Excessive amniotic fluid flowed out in a seemingly endless stream, and even with plenty of cloths and towels, it still wasn't enough.
The worst happened; sure enough, the umbilical cord prolapsed due to the impact of the amniotic fluid!
Seeing this, Li San Niang immediately shouted to Qiu Xiang, "Qiu Xiang, bring the forceps, quick!"
The forceps were only recently made by a master craftsman in the palace, who studied the blueprints drawn by Li San Niang and revised them more than ten times before finally producing one that satisfied her.
To ensure safety, the entire body is made of silver, making it incredibly valuable.
Qiu Xiang was the most efficient person. As soon as Li San Niang called out, Qiu Xiang unwrapped the bundle of forceps wrapped in a white cloth that had been prepared on the table and handed it to Li San Niang.
Li San Niang directly picked up one half of the forceps and inserted it under the fluoroscopy. Then she placed the other half on the other side of the baby's head, tightened the screws, and pulled it outwards with a little force. After she could see the baby's head, she removed the forceps and used conventional techniques, such as internal rotation, extension, repositioning, and external rotation, to deliver the entire baby.
The whole process took no more than four minutes!
Li San Niang quickly cleaned the baby's mouth and nose, then cut the umbilical cord and gently patted the soles of the baby's feet. The little baby, who had just escaped death, finally cried out.
Hearing the baby cry, Sister-in-law Gao, who had been anxiously waiting, relaxed and lay down.
Gao Dalang and Gao Ya Hui, who were waiting outside the door, breathed a sigh of relief. But Gao Dalang was still worried and called out from outside the door, "Rongniang? Rongniang? Rongniang, are you alright?"
Gao Dasao, who had already lain down, heard Gao Dalang's words and tried her best to raise her head slightly and say, "Dalang, I'm fine."
Upon hearing his sister-in-law's reply, Gao Dalang was finally relieved and, in his excitement, he plopped down on the ground.
"Brother!"
In the end, Gao Dalang was able to get up with Gao Yahui's help. After sitting down on the chair, he collapsed into a ball.
Only then did Gao Dalang realize that he felt a chill on his body. His back was soaked with sweat, and the sweat on his forehead felt cold when the wind blew on it.
However, Gao Dalang still picked up the teacup on the small table next to him, which had long since gone cold, and drank the full cup of tea before he came to his senses.
Inside the room, the baby, wrapped in a small blanket, was brought to Sister-in-law Gao by the midwife.
"He's a young man!"
"Look how well-shaped that nose is! He'll definitely be handsome when he grows up."
Only after seeing that Gao Dasao had given birth to a complete placenta without bleeding did Li San Niang finally feel relieved.
"It's a little torn, don't worry, I'll just sew it up for you with a couple of stitches."
The situation was too urgent; we couldn't think of anything else in order to save the child.
It was only two needles, very quickly. Before Sister-in-law Gao even felt the pain, Li San Niang had already applied the medicine.
After all, the pain of stitches is nothing compared to the pain of childbirth.
