Difficult labor?
When Bruno heard Wagner's words, he was stunned for a moment, then...
Bruno was actually a little excited! Although this sounds a little unkind, and it is definitely a disaster for Wagner's family, but... for Bruno, or for Idar Territory, it may be a good thing! Although before this, in order to increase the population and improve the birth rate of Idar Territory as much as possible, Bruno had already introduced a series of subsidy policies for local pregnant women, but...
The birth rate in Idar Territory is still low, or in other words... giving birth is an extremely dangerous thing, and it can even be said to be putting one foot in the coffin! Even if there are no complications such as dystocia, the various symptoms that women experience during childbirth are likely to send both the mother and the baby into the arms of death.
Of course there are midwives, but even so, problems and mistakes that may arise in the panic are difficult to avoid.
In response to this tragic situation, Bruno had actually already made plans. For example... he concentrated all the midwives in the entire Idar County in the city of Idar.
At the same time, a hospital dedicated to caring for pregnant women and assisting in childbirth was opened in Idar Territory! All pregnant women in Idar Territory must come to the hospital in Idar Territory one month before giving birth to receive the most direct care and observation.
The reason why Bruno took these actions was to wait for an opportunity...waiting for pregnant women to show symptoms of difficult labor!
Because, in this era, difficult childbirth is an unsolvable problem! Even the most experienced midwives cannot avoid the outcome of one death and two lives!
so……
Once Bruno encountered a woman with dystocia, he could naturally order the doctors in Idar to perform caesarean sections on these women! It was for this reason that when Bruno heard that Wagner's wife had dystocia... he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
In the final analysis...
Bruno couldn't force pregnant women who could give birth successfully to have their bellies cut open...
Only in the case of difficult labor can a caesarean section be performed to avoid medical disputes to the greatest extent possible, allowing the development of medicine to gradually take a new step in Idar.
Although casualties will inevitably occur in this process, any progress requires a price! Although he thought so in his heart, when Bruno heard the news, he still couldn't help but feel a bit of regret in his mind.
"How could...how could this happen?"
Bruno said somewhat absentmindedly.
"My Lord Earl... please allow me to go back now, to... to see her for the last time..."
Wagner, who had just been elected as the first model worker in Idar, had a face full of sorrow. He felt that his whole spirit had become dazed due to the extreme joy and sorrow.
after all……
In this era, difficult childbirth often means death.
"I will go with you!" said Bruno.
"ah?"
Wagner looked at his lord count in shock.
"Your wife's child is naturally Lord Idar's child! And I am Count Idar, the supreme ruler of this land, so... your child is actually my child too!"
"If your child can be born safely, I will personally pray for him!"
Bruno gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"This...how can this be..." For a moment, Wagner felt dizzy.
This is simply a great joy! I am just a commoner, but the man in front of me is a great earl!
If my child can really be born safely... with the Earl's blessing, I'm afraid my future days will be hundreds of times better than mine!
But... I'm afraid my children won't have such a blessing...
well……
"Without further delay, I will personally return to Idar City with you! Liszt... give him a horse!" Bruno ordered.
Seeing the Count's generosity and kindness, and his wife's life was in danger, Wagner could not care less for a moment. He said as calmly as possible:
"Even if I die, I will never be able to repay the Earl's kindness! No matter what the outcome today is, I will follow the Earl's lead!"
…
“Ahh—”
“Hmm—ah—”
Idar city, temporary maternity hospital.
This is a courtyard located in the eastern city of Idar Territory. Since it gathers almost all the pregnant women in Idar Territory, the area it covers is extremely large.
When Bruno and Wagner arrived here, they heard a series of groans of pain.
Several midwives were walking back and forth in the corridor with anxious looks on their faces. The sweat on their foreheads flowed down their hair, showing that they were also extremely nervous.
"How is the pregnant woman inside?" Bruno stopped a midwife and asked.
"Reporting to the Earl, the pregnant woman's condition is very urgent. Although she has already tried upright delivery, she has already shown symptoms of dystocia!" the midwife replied quickly.
Bruno had heard of upright childbirth, which was the method of childbirth chosen by most women of that era, and it also reflected the rare wisdom in the medical history of that era.
This method originated in the Kingdom of Basel. People usually place the mother on two side-by-side chairs, balancing her body between the two, and massage her abdomen to relieve pain and speed up the delivery process.
However, although this method has certain effects, the effect is extremely limited. Once encountering situations such as difficult labor, midwives will be helpless.
"How could this happen? How could this happen..." When Wagner heard the bad news from the midwife, he sat down on the ground, staring blankly ahead...
He seemed to recall the ordinary and happy time he had with his wife some time ago. When he thought about how he and his wife had finally arrived in Idar Territory, but had encountered such a thing, he became more and more regretful and sad.
Difficult childbirth...is almost equivalent to death.
"Actually...it's not that there is no solution..." Bruno on the side suddenly said.
Wagner, immersed in grief, did not react at the moment Bruno finished speaking, but after a moment... he suddenly raised his head.
"My Lord Earl..." He grasped Bruno's noble robe tightly as if he had grabbed the last straw, "My Lord Earl, do you mean to say... my wife... can still be saved?"
"Wagner, you have to remember that no matter when, there are always more solutions than problems... I certainly have solutions, but... they may not necessarily succeed, and... the probability of failure is even greater than the probability of success..." Bruno said uncertainly.
"This... doesn't matter! If we wait here, we will only wait for death. Even if there is only a slight possibility of success, I am willing to try!" Wagner hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice.
"In that case... someone, call Doug Batalov over here! Prepare for surgery!"
"My Lord Earl, I have been waiting for your orders for a long time!"
As soon as Bruno finished speaking, he saw a guy who was originally sitting on the ground stood up and responded.
I was wrong... there will be a spectacle tomorrow, those who lie are little dogs! And they are very stupid!!
