Is there any other reason why Cao Cao won't let Hua Tuo treat his brain besides fear of death?

Speaking of Cao Cao, people immediately think of his majestic and chic image. He was full of blood and ambition all his life. But even such a legend, an ordinary person, will suffer from the disease. Cao Cao often has headaches and it is difficult to find a good prescription. I didn't get better after seeing a doctor. So he turned his attention to Hua Tuo, hoping that Hua Tuo could cure his chronic disease.

Hua tuo was a quack at that time. He has rich experience in studying abroad and some opinions on surgery. He was called "the master of surgery" and saved many lives.

Cao Cao heard that there were such medical talents in the world, and immediately sent someone to ask him to cure his stubborn disease. Unexpectedly, Hua Tuo said "crazy talk" and wanted to do craniotomy to cure it. Cao Cao was furious and thought that Hua Tuo was trying to kill himself, so he drove Hua Tuo to prison and died.

At this point in the story, I believe everyone can't help wondering if everything would have changed if Cao Cao hadn't been so suspicious and let Hua Tuo do the operation for himself. Will Cao Cao stop having headaches, and will Hua Tuo continue to cure diseases and save lives? However, the expert's answer made people sweat. It turned out that experts thought that the meeting would kill them after research. If Hua Tuo really gave Cao Cao a knife, Cao Cao would die immediately.

At that time, the medical technology was not very developed, which doomed that the advanced idea of "craniotomy" was just a bubble. Although Hua Tuo was a great doctor, craniotomy was still difficult for him at that time.

This is a very delicate job, and even today it is a great challenge. Moreover, Hua Tuo had no experience in this field at that time. A slight mistake will make Cao Cao bleed to death on the spot.

In addition, the medical conditions at that time were also very backward. Although he invented Mafeisan, which can save patients from the pain of operation, there were no antibiotics at that time, so Cao Cao was very likely to be infected and die during and after the operation. It is almost impossible for Cao Cao to survive safely after the operation.

Moreover, what is even more frightening is that Hua Tuo's imaginary craniotomy tool is actually an axe. Not to mention that the axe is full of bacteria and very dirty, and its huge volume is enough to make people shy away. With such a delicate tool facing such a delicate organ of the brain, it is conceivable that Cao Cao must have broken his head and died mysteriously in the end.

Therefore, although Hua Tuo did make great contributions to medical care at that time and made numerous medical achievements, craniotomy was still a bit whimsical for him. There is also a reason why Cao Cao refused to accept Hua Tuo's craniotomy until his death. If Cao Cao agreed to his operation, the result was unsatisfactory and he died immediately.

But it is gratifying that now we are standing on the shoulders of giants to study the problem. With the preparation of predecessors, craniotomy is no longer an unreachable dream, and has saved many lives under developed conditions. Therefore, although Hua Tuo regrets his tragic death in prison, his spirit will live forever and the light of medicine will never go out!
