Dark-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 81

Episode 81 Isn’t it too much to do? [One]

“What happened?”

The commotion in the amputation ward soon spread throughout the hospital.

It was natural.

It’s been a while since the screams here have been a nightmare throughout the hospital.

It was a hospital that had not been particularly interested in pain relief before, but because anesthesia was not available, many surgeries were not performed, and to make matters worse, among those who braved it, the placenta died from shock caused by pain, so the issue was not raised.

However, as anesthesia became popular and the number of patients increased rapidly, an unexpected problem arose. The director was a money-maker, as the saying goes, so he could never give up the income from amputations, and because of this, everyone at the hospital had to suffer from nightmares.

It was like I had finished it.

“Ughhhh… … .”

“Huh… … .”

No, it wasn’t completely finished.

Now that I see it, aspirin, that is, the aspirin I remember, seems to have controlled the gastrointestinal disorder to some extent?

Almost all of those who took my medicine complained of heartburn.

There were many who found it to be somewhat ineffective.

But no one expressed any complaints.

Whatever it was, it was better than before.

It wasn’t just the patient who felt that way, anyone who came here could feel that way.

Liston, who came running in a huff, did the same.

“In Joseon… … If someone is sick, make a decoction of willow bark and feed them. “I was wondering if that would work.”

Shipbuilding… … .

A name that will now forever be remembered as an advanced country in medicine.

I looked at Liston, saying his name in vain.

Since they were people who knew nothing about their country, they naturally nodded.

As far as I know, no such thing was said.

“That’s right. Joseon is such a great country. “If I get the chance, I definitely want to go there.”

I was like that too.

If I go, I think I’ll have to go separately… … .

‘If they go and everything is discovered, won’t they cut me in half and kill me? No, no. It was the same back then… … .’

When I thought about it, I thought I could go with him since I didn’t have the ability to learn Korean.

Anyway, Joseon was almost like the end of the world at this point, and since there was no guarantee as to when I would be able to go, I decided to talk about it.

“Anyway, it seems to be working.”

“Yeah, it looks like it. It is effective for patients who have had amputations. Even though I didn’t have a headache, I’m glad I did.”

Liston stopped talking to me and held his head.

It seemed like he had a headache.

I reflexively tried to give him willow bark water, which I now decided to call salicylic acid, but before I knew it, he had turned his head and was heading in another direction.

“Uh, where are you going?”

That guy said he was sick, why did he act like that? When I asked, he turned to me with a face that asked me what I was asking.

“Of course I’ll go to Thomas. All you have to do is turn it around.”

“no… … “Didn’t you see that this has a pain-relieving effect?”

“hmm? “Isn’t it effective for amputees?”

“No, no. It works for all pain. It may not be phantom pain, but… … Anyway, it will work for other pains.”

“Oh oh. And what about my headache?”

“yes. But it looks like I’ll feel sick if I eat it on an empty stomach, so I’ll eat something.”

“huh? “Does that have anything to do with feeling upset?”

“ah.”

ah!

Don’t you know that stomach acid comes out from the stomach and that it will cause pain… … ?

I think you know that… … .

However, it seemed natural not to know that the drug could stimulate gastric acid secretion or inhibit the protective action of the mucous membrane.

I don’t think they even know that what they eat has a protective effect.

It hasn’t even been that long since the guidelines for taking most medications changed from 30 minutes after a meal to immediately after a meal, right?

“Just what… … “I think so.”

“Do you see something like that in Joseon?”

“Ah yes.”

“Then you should follow it. Anyway, it’s amazing. I thought the British Empire was the best in the world in everything… … “Now I see that there is something to learn from the country of Joseon in the field of medicine.”

Liston said those words and drank salicylic acid while munching on bread that looked really tasteless at first glance.

I drank it as if it were coffee, and I thought it was amazing.

No matter how much I see patients improving, I can’t believe they can eat it right away like this.

Indeed, the 19th century was overflowing with the spirit of experimentation.

“oh… … “It’s really getting better.”

“Even so, I also told my father to go to Joseon if he gets the chance.”

Alfred talked about his father to Liston, whose pain had improved and his mood had improved.

I glared at him without realizing it.

Why did you tell your father… … .

What should I do if it breaks out?

“Oh, yes? “When can you go?”

“You don’t have any plans to sail right now because of the condom business.”

“iced coffee.”

Oh, thank goodness.

okay… … .

I thought it would be best to delay it as much as possible.

Isn’t my reputation bound to spread quickly anyway?

It seems like I’ve been in a rush, but I’ve already solved quite a few diseases.

If this trend continued, there would probably be no doctor who could compete with me in a few years.

“The amputation ward issue has been resolved, and our review has raised one issue, so why not call it a day and go on a picnic? “I heard that some good meat has arrived.”

“Meat?”

“okay. “Let’s take the servants with us.”

“Do you have any servants?”

“Look. I’m rich now. “Do you know how many amputations they perform a day?”

“ah.”

You made a lot of money cutting off other people’s limbs.

I don’t think it’s much different from the word killer… … .

Anyway, it was a good thing.

Meat.

From the way he talks, it looks like he’s going to eat barbecue… … In British food, pure grilled meat was the best.

Anyway, the more these guys did something, the more it tasted worse.

Strangely enough… … It was always like that.

“Then when should we go?”

“Go right away. “You guys have nothing to do either, right?”

Alfred and Joseph, who had been following Liston’s words like my shadow, looked at me and nodded.

Asking if there was anything to do sounded somewhat like an interrogation, but it was probably because it was true.

All right.

Anyway, we rode in two carriages with Dr. Liston’s money, who had become a rich man.

Our group rode on one side, and the people who would help us with our picnic rode on the other side.

“Hey, hey!”

The carriage we rode left London at a very high speed and headed towards the countryside.

The scenery was much better than I expected, even if I got a little further out of London.

Is it really okay to just spread out a mat and sit down anywhere?

Of course, Dr. Liston, who became rich, did not spread out anywhere, and we ended up in a small villa.

“This too… … “Did you buy it?”

me too… … Let’s try it, cutting… … .

“Oh, no. I borrowed it. “These days, I come here on the weekends to read books and relax.”

“ah.”

No, it wasn’t like that.

This means that the path I will take is Jeongdo, not Sapa.

I managed to escape from Juhwa Ilma and looked around the villa.

It may seem a bit small if you’re hosting a party, but if you’re staying alone, it’s a very spacious place.

Even the place to grill meat was in the backyard.

There was firewood lying around, and the servants who came with us looked a little troubled.

“I… … professor?”

“Why but?”

“Don’t you have any flint?”

“iced coffee. Firestone. Hahahaha. This is it. “You guys are quite old-fashioned.”

Isn’t this the era of gas stoves?

No torch.

In the end, flint was bound to be the best way to start a fire.

So was my common sense.

I wonder if I now know how to make a fire.

But Liston was ridiculing the common sense of the times.

I literally laughed out loud.

Then he took something out of his pocket.

“This is called a match.”

“matches? No, that’s a very expensive item… … Isn’t it?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Did you have any matches?

Was it that kind of era?

‘Oh, now that I think about it, The Little Match Girl was a 19th century novel… … .’

It seemed like it might exist.

But it’s expensive?

I tilted my head at the servants’ words.

At least in my era, matches were never an expensive item.

Even in The Match Girl, it seemed like it was never depicted as a particularly expensive item.

“It used to be like that. But not anymore. This is from Austria and is brand new. It’s a lot cheaper than you think. Even though it is an imported product, it will be even cheaper if we start making it in our country.”

Ah, it was difficult to make matches in the past, but now with the advancement of science… … .

profit.

Liston stopped talking and struck the match on the ground.

At that moment, I was able to witness a truly brilliant light.

It was a fire that made me forget what I was going to say, but it seemed terribly dangerous.

“Be careful. “Once this fire starts, it won’t go out easily.”

“yes?”

“It’s because they use white phosphorus. Why didn’t I think of this before? “White phosphorus is a cheap and highly flammable material.”

White phosphorus… … .

White phosphorus… … .

I think I’ve heard that a lot somewhere… … .

“The smoke is really white?”

“So it’s Baekrin. Anyway, what if I throw this away like this?”

and.

I really thought that the rhetoric of ‘getting angry’ was used in times like this.

The fire began to bloom so violently that it was hard to believe it was just the light from a match.

“and… … .”

“Is it strange?”

“Yes, it’s very interesting. If more of this comes in, no more… … “I guess we don’t have to use flint?”

“yes. No, it’s not like this. Would you like some? “Here it is.”

“This precious thing… … “Can I take it?”

“That’s because it’s not that expensive. haha. But if you put it inside your pants carefully and there is friction, it catches fire.”

“yes yes. “Seeing this momentum makes me think that we need to handle it carefully.”

That unusual fire.

White smoke.

Where did you see it?

In the news… … .

‘War crime… … White phosphorus… … .’

Did these crazy people make matches out of banned bombs?

‘hey… … god. After all, this is not the Earth I was on… … ? yes… … ?’

I looked up at the sky, then remembered a little more about white phosphorus and shuddered.

I ended up blocking my nose without realizing it.

White phosphorus.

This is the only poison among phosphorus compounds.

As far as I know, that smoke must have been quite harsh.

‘wait… … let’s stay ‘How do I make this?’

It wouldn’t have fallen from the sky, right?

Someone was making it, but the people making it would inevitably become addicted to white phosphorus.

In the long run, your bones will melt… … .

Mostly it would be the chin.

It means that you will die in a really painful way.

Even though the only treatment was to remove the lower jaw, there was no way a flap would be possible at this time, so that was no different from a death sentence.

‘This… … This must be stopped… … .’

As I watched the coolly lit fire, I fell into a serious dilemma between the people I liked.
