As the saying goes, one can know the meaning of a poem by just hearing it. Kangxi had invited all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau, so how could Yinzuo not understand what he meant? Yinzuo had no intention of keeping this method of saving lives to himself. Not to mention that Kangxi's intention was so obvious, even if he didn't mention it, if he had the chance, Yinzuo would have spread it.
"Khan Ama, since all the imperial physicians are here today, why don't I take this opportunity to briefly explain the Heimlich maneuver to them?"
Kangxi called Yinzuo over today just for this first aid method, so there was naturally no reason for him to refuse. The imperial doctors were also very interested in this first aid method that could save lives. Seeing that Yinzuo was willing to teach them this method, there was naturally no reason for them not to learn it.
"This first aid method is actually very simple to learn. First, if we find that the patient is stuck with a foreign object, we need to confirm the patient's current condition. If the patient is still conscious, we can take the patient to a sitting or standing position and let the body lean forward. The rescuer stands behind the patient, wraps his arms around the patient, and places the base of his left fist on the center of the patient's upper abdomen. Then, he suddenly tightens his arms and applies strong pressure to the upper part of the patient's upper abdomen. This is to provide a certain amount of air to the airway, thereby flushing the foreign object out of the trachea."
In order to enable the imperial physicians to have a more intuitive understanding of the Heimlich maneuver and the rescue process, Yinzuo simply called Dexi over and asked him to act as a patient and give a demonstration to Kangxi and the imperial physicians.
"If the patient is already unconscious, then you should use the supine position I used today. First, lay the patient flat on the ground, then fold your hands and place them on the patient's upper abdomen. If you are unsure of the position, use the navel as a reference, about a fist's distance upwards, and apply sudden pressure forward and downward with the base of your palms. Repeat this movement until the foreign body is expelled."
The Heimlich maneuver was not difficult to learn, and the imperial physicians quickly learned it. Towards the end of the teaching, Yinzuo suddenly remembered another set of cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods that could also save lives. Since he had thought of it, he simply taught it as well. However, this time he only explained the cardiopulmonary resuscitation process to the imperial physicians in detail, focusing on the key points of cardiac compression and mouth-to-mouth breathing. He did not demonstrate it to Kangxi and the imperial physicians as he did before. After all, he did not want to give his first kiss to Dexi in this life.
After finally getting rid of the group of imperial doctors who almost all asked a million questions, Yinzuo finally had a chance to catch his breath. However, when he turned around, he saw Kangxi sitting and drinking tea. It was over. He was careless. He was only thinking about how to get rid of the group of imperial doctors who were eager to learn, and completely forgot that his father was the most difficult one to get rid of.
"Yinzuo, where did you learn this first aid method and CPR?"
No one knows a son better than his father, and the same principle applies in reverse. As expected by Yinzuo, his father started questioning him as soon as the doctors left.
"Of course, I read about it in a Western journal. The Heimlich maneuver and CPR were invented by two Western doctors, Dr. Heimlich and Dr. Peter Safar, respectively. I found these two methods fascinating when I first read about them in the book and even researched them, but then I forgot about them over time. If it weren't for Suhazi's youngest son getting stuck with a peach pit, I wouldn't have even remembered them."
Yinzuo was not lying. He had learned the Heimlich maneuver and cardiopulmonary resuscitation during military training in college, but he had never used it once in all these years. If it weren't for the fact that Suhaci's youngest son had a peach pit stuck in his throat, he would probably have forgotten it in his previous life.
After listening to Yinzuo's explanation, Kangxi didn't ask any further questions regardless of whether he believed it or not. Yinzuo didn't care whether he believed it or not. Anyway, you want an answer, and I'm giving it to you. As for whether you believe this answer or not, I'm sorry, isn't it the law that whoever makes the claim must provide the evidence?
"Yinzuo, what are your thoughts on these strange and ingenious techniques used by foreigners?"
Look at the question. What do I think? Of course I am standing next to you and watching. Didn't you already set the basic principles for dealing with Western learning? And it was later carried forward by my fourth brother's unfilial and prodigal son, your filial grandson. To sum it up in one sentence, you can read it and learn from it, but you can't tell others about it.
You know, in his past life, he had seen many netizens complaining about the Qing emperors online. They knew a lot about the outside world and knew everything, but in the end they chose to sink into oblivion for the sake of their own rule. Now let me say something, what should I say? I'm afraid that if I can't hold back, I'll make you angry and hurt yourself.
After all, Kangxi had been with Yinzuo for so many years that he was familiar with some of his subtle expressions. As soon as he saw his expression, he knew that this guy might be plotting against him in his mind. He glanced around himself and threw a red date at him.
"What's with that expression on your face? Are you making things up about me in your mind again? Just say what I'm told to say. Why are you being so hesitant?"
Okay, you asked me to say it. If you can't stand it later, don't blame me for not giving you a chance now.
"In reply to Khan Ama, I believe that it is best to learn from their strengths and overcome one's own weaknesses, and to learn from the barbarians in order to control them."
After Yinzuo finished speaking, he observed Kangxi's expression and saw that he looked normal before continuing.
"Khan Ama, you've learned a lot about foreigners over the years, right? You should be well aware that their development is not as backward as we think, especially in medicine, firearms, ships, and science. They have even surpassed us. You opened Western studies for us princes, presumably because you want us to learn more about foreign things. But is it enough to just understand and observe? They may not be able to match us now, but what about in time? We stagnate while they keep improving. If one day they surpass us in strength, will we become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others?"
