Episode 121 Anatomy Lecture [3]
Of course, it didn’t end with just teaching me a skill.
First of all, I was very good at it and it wasn’t a very difficult skill to begin with, so it took very little time.
‘Now that it’s over, what happens if I tell you to leave?’
Right now, our high-ranking people, who are looking at us with favorable eyes, were going to protest.
No, it was obvious that the police chief would do the same.
What is here… … It wasn’t an easy place to rent, right?
Even if the princess was an anatomy fanatic, she wouldn’t have lent her chin chin.
Moreover, there was one more serious problem.
‘The anatomy of this era… … .’
At first, I had no idea why this culture was formed.
No, why on earth do you want to see the whole dissection?
There were even times when students from other departments came and observed the student practice.
Of course, since the environment in our dissection laboratory is hell, such incidents are rare… … .
In any case, there was a strong perception that dissection was a spectacle in general.
‘Didn’t you say they do it at Carnival too?’
There was a reason for all of this.
In fact, touching a human corpse… … .
It can’t just be a pleasant thing, can it?
The person who touches it may be like that, but more than that, the body… … .
No, since the dead man did not speak, it was truly an unpleasant experience for his family.
In particular, weren’t there religious customs such as cremating the body, sending it by boat, or burying it?
Even now, it is not much different, and in this way, dissection was only officially allowed for death row inmates.
‘I said originally it was completely banned.’
So it was banned.
Dissection was originally… … .
Then the Crusades broke out, and human dissections were introduced, and it was discovered that Europe, which was going through a dark age, was lagging behind in medicine, especially compared to the Islamic Empire, where various sciences were advanced.
If you were to be equally injured, how would you feel if one noble died and the other noble survived?
Therefore, an edict was issued that only death row prisoners could be dissected once every five years… … .
It probably started with good intentions… … .
Think about it.
uh? Even now, look around.
Even racists who look down on Asians come and do it because they want to learn something.
Especially for surgeons, whether or not they practice dissection can make a huge difference, but since it is limited to once every five years, it must be eye-rolling, right?
‘Even if it’s just me, I’ll go see it… … .’
As a result, it became a custom to go and watch when someone’s turn was performing an autopsy.
At the same time, it was considered rude not to dissect the body until it was just before it decomposed.
What this meant was that dissection had become something that had to be done endlessly, in full view.
“Now, let’s take a closer look at the neck.”
Honestly, it was difficult.
I’m not a very physically fit person, and I’m not in a situation where I really need dissection practice.
“Okay, let’s see the neck!”
“see!”
“Let’s see!”
but… … .
Everyone was desperate except me.
Even non-doctors did the same.
Since there were some high-ranking people among them, I couldn’t possibly stop.
Besides, isn’t this an opportunity already taken?
They say you can become famous while teaching your students at the same time… … .
“First of all, this is what I saw earlier. “You have really big muscles, right?”
While thinking about that, I pointed to the huge muscles on either side of my neck.
Objectively, these guys are a bit big to say the least, but… … .
From the perspective of the neck, it could be said that they were truly enormous.
Why is this so big?
There were reasons for everything.
“Not a knife, but something blunt. no… … “Put the knife in.”
Still unable to understand the atmosphere, I pointed out the guy who was trying to lift a knife that was over 20cm long, and inserted my gloved finger between the muscle in question, the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the structure underneath it.
Since there were no blood vessels of any kind between the fascia, the muscle was lifted with a simple thudding sound.
“fire.”
Originally, I would have used the headlights on my head to look inside, but now if I asked for the headlights… … It was obvious that my head would burn to death.
Anyway, because of that connection, Joseph, who was next to him, held out the lantern.
Then the inner structure began to appear.
“Now, here. This is a big one. Something that clumps. This is the jugular vein.”
“oh… … .”
“Underneath… … “If you look closely.”
Because my muscles were lifted and my neck was not wide, it was now difficult to do anything with my fingers.
So I retracted the forceps and pushed the jugular vein upward.
The blood inside had solidified and a hard feeling arose.
Actually, it feels a bit mushy… … .
“There is one that is thinner but appears much sturdier. This is the carotid artery. It’s a blood vessel that goes to the head… … “It must be very important.”
I continued explaining blood vessels.
You might think that this is going to lead to a witch hunt, but surprisingly, this level of knowledge has already been accumulated.
In particular, there has been remarkable progress over the past dozen years.
If you say it’s thanks to grave robbing, it’s a bit… … .
I can’t believe it actually happened… … .
“In other words, these muscles cover important blood vessels. “When touching the neck, you have to be careful not to hurt this muscle.”
I’ve never done it myself, but even otolaryngologists insist on saving this muscle when removing lymph nodes in the neck.
He listened to it this way and that way, and he did all sorts of things… … .
When I asked if it was necessary to do so, I was shown a photo of the patient that had to be cropped due to the infiltration of the cancer.
An aesthetic defect caused by a sunken part of the neck was also a defect, but the functional defect was more critical.
He could not support his neck and was leaning crookedly to one side.
“Eh again… … .”
As I was wondering what else I should show off my neck, Dr. Liston approached me.
I just came here, but I was a little scared because the people were people.
So I was about to step back a little, but Liston, who was used to such reactions, said without hesitation.
“It would be better to start with the rotting parts first. You can also see your stomach better. “After a while, you won’t be able to use it.”
“ah… … .”
“And are you prepared? You did so well earlier… … “I don’t think many of those higher-ups will leave their seats.”
“Isn’t there a performance tomorrow anyway?”
The police chief next to me, who was supposed to be going home but noticed that even high-ranking people had come, turned into a built-in closet and shook his head.
“no. “Everything has been cancelled.”
“yes? why?”
“When I opened my neck to show you earlier… … That pink? When I show you that… … The princess and the prime minister gave orders. “It’s free for at least three days.”
“ah.”
Have you turned around, these bastards?
I’m having a hard time… … .
Normally, when something like this happens, it would be normal to comfort them… … .
“Congratulations, Pyeong-ah.”
“therefore. “You’re really on the rise now.”
“Come on, it’s urgent so hurry up. “I’ll help you with the arms and legs, so you can handle the stomach.”
These bastards were actually praising.
Of course, if you look at it from afar, it was a good thing.
It’s a good thing, but… … .
But that doesn’t mean the hard times will go away right away.
‘okay. Let’s go well.’
The good news is that I am a doctor, and I am used to dealing with things like this, so I have become an expert at it.
‘It must be difficult… … Are you only going to do it during residency?’
I can assure you that there is no one in this position who has worked as hard as I have, right?
i really… … .
uh?
In our time, there were no special laws for majors, so instead of 88 hours a week, I worked over 120 hours.
A latte may seem like a latte, but what can you do? It’s true.
In other words, even if these guys here act like they’ll kill you right now if they stop… … .
What I was saying was that it would get worse as the night got deeper.
however… …
‘why… … ‘Why don’t you go?’
It wasn’t.
under… … .
fuck.
Now that I think about it, this is not Korea, but 19th century London.
This is because there are people all over the world who sleep and work for 4 hours a day… … .
Since they weren’t working right now and were just out to see the sights, they seemed to be full of energy and were still cheering.
“therefore… … This is now your kidney. height. If you look closely, you will see a tube that leads to the bladder, and as we all know, the bladder is filled with urine. This patient… … Oh my, there’s a rock. “It must have hurt a lot.”
“Wah ha ha ha!”
“You’ve already been punished!”
“I’ve never seen a kidney fall off so cleanly!”
This was true not only for those downstairs but also for those above.
I guess it’s because I’ve seen those guys being dissected separately… … .
It seemed like he knew how dissections had been done before.
I didn’t follow him there and see it, but… … .
Did I do it right?
That couldn’t have been possible.
Especially in this era where there is no concept of hormones… … .
“Now, look here.”
I pointed to the adrenal glands located above the kidneys.
All hormone-secreting organs may be important, but this was the really important one.
‘under… … I know, but I can’t say it.’
I wanted to go into detail, but I held back for now.
Instead, since I was so good at it, I closed my eyes to silence some of the subversives who were slowly showing signs of bringing up the theory of Oriental witches.
“You may remember the pink organ in the neck. It was lumpy, right? Touch this while thinking of that. The colors are different, but they’re similar, right? Our Lord would never have created something useless… … It’s unfortunate that we still don’t know what the organization does. However, considering that it has a similar texture, it seems like it will do something similar. “I hope someone better than me will come forward and research this in the future.”
These words appealed to faith.
The effect appeared immediately.
It must have had a halo effect because it was already getting late at night and there was a fire burning behind them, but since they were saying holy words, it had to be that way.
“amen.”
“Lord.”
“Give us wisdom… … .”
There was a response reminiscent of a revival here and there.
It didn’t matter what they thought.
I was looking up.
‘That’s it.’
Princess Victoria also closed her eyes and said Amen.
Hallelujah, really.
I continued the dissection while humming Hallelujah without realizing it.
These gentlemen must have received a favor. An amazing spectacle is unfolding before their eyes. They don’t want to go home, and at some point, I don’t know if it’s due to the mechanism of using sleep deprivation to treat depression, but anyway, I’m excited. This dissection was carried out all night long due to the wind.
I heard that there were people who died while practicing dissection even though they were not seriously injured, and I felt like I knew why.
When I finished the dissection after over 30 hours had passed, I thought that this is when death from overwork occurs.
I couldn’t even go home, and like everyone else, Joseph, Alfred, Colin, Liston, and Blundell just fell asleep in the ward.
