Dark-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 82

Episode 82 Isn’t it too much to do? [2]

“This is really amazing… … .”

I was shocked, but… … .

The others were astonished, confused, and just lost in the mysterious fire.

In fact, if I hadn’t noticed it, I probably would have been mesmerized.

I just scratched the drum and a fire broke out… … As soon as I transferred it to the firewood… … membrane… … .

“So white… … “This is my first time seeing white smoke.”

Because burning brightly is not enough, huh?

White smoke is billowing out like crazy, as if to make you realize why this is actually ‘White Phosphorus’.

The moment I thought I would have seen it, I remembered something I heard in industrial medicine class.

This was also possible because our hospital has an acute poisoning center.

It may seem like addiction is very rare in modern society, but surprisingly, it happens quite often in industrial settings.

“Oh, wait a minute! for a moment!”

No, even if I hadn’t learned that, it would have been normal for me to have thought that the smoke constantly spewing out like that would be harmful.

‘I remembered, I remembered! Fuck… … The little match girl… … .’

Some of the professors really said, “Wow, they teach this like this?” While there are people who want to teach, there are also people who teach in such a fun way that you can clearly recall the relevant content even decades later.

Among them, the professor of industrial medicine clearly belonged to the latter group.

He was a very good communicator, and was especially good at explaining things with examples.

One of them was Andersen’s fairy tale, The Little Match Girl.

-This is actually a fairy tale that criticizes society. White phosphorus match… … I’ve been selling ridiculous products for over ten years just because they’re cheap and convenient. How about this white phosphorus match?

Isn’t it a fairy tale that everyone knows?

It’s a fairy tale so famous that I wonder if there’s anyone who hasn’t read it at least once as a child… … .

So it was still memorable.

-There, the match girl lights a match and sees various imaginations in the light. Things like a fireplace, a fancy dinner, or a Christmas tree? What does that mean from a medical perspective?

Still, even though it was a fairy tale written for children, I thought the interpretation was too bleak, which made it even more so.

Now that I think about it, it was definitely a lecture on destroying innocence… … .

-It’s a delusion or hallucination. There are many causes that can cause this, but let’s think about the situation the match girl was in at the time. First of all, it was cold, right? Even the shoes were taken away by local bullies. If I did that, I would get hypothermia… … Those are some of the symptoms of hypothermia. Hallucinations or auditory hallucinations.

Are you hallucinating or hallucinating from that warm story? … .

But in the end, I was a medical student, and after receiving further training, I became a doctor who was able to think calmly at any time, so now I can’t help but nod my head.

Yes, you can.

Probably.

That is a reasonable judgment and inference… … .

-But there is something that causes these symptoms much more than hypothermia… … That’s white phosphorus. Eating it can cause similar symptoms… … In fact, poisoning due to ingestion usually causes liver failure. Rather, inhaling smoke can mainly cause hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. This is a fairly common side effect.

When we think of white phosphorus, we tend to think of a low ignition point of 60 degrees and a flame that does not go out easily.

It was so terrible that no one who saw it even once could forget it, so they had no choice but to do so.

I’m saying that if you use this for no reason, you won’t be punished for a war crime… … .

In fact, if you focus on the poisoning rather than the bomb, the smoke inhalation was really scary.

-Besides, if you read the fairy tale carefully, at the end you see a vision of the grandmother who died after burning all the remaining matches, right? If you burn a white phosphorus match this hard, a huge amount of it will suddenly be sucked in… … In that case, you may experience fatal side effects such as vomiting and bloody stool. Previously, it was said to lead to death due to difficulty breathing. what… … In our country’s workplaces, the Serious Accident Act applies quite strongly to white phosphorus, so it’s probably okay in most cases. Anyway, let me know. A doctor’s life is such that you never know what kind of patient you will meet at any time.

really… … .

Isn’t he a true teacher?

Until the last word, there was not a single phrase that did not touch my heart.

The life of a doctor is such that you never know what kind of patient you will meet at any time.

“Why are you doing this? “Your face is pale?”

Anyway, after recalling my full memories, I quickly ran and pushed the people back.

Fortunately, there was only a lot of smoke, and since only one white phosphorus match was used, there didn’t seem to be a lot of harmful substances spreading out in all directions.

“You come out first!”

“Why but. “People usually get a little scared when doctors do things like this.”

I grabbed the person who had been wandering around the smoke earlier, thinking it was amazing.

Then, to my surprise, Liston stopped me.

Then I thought it would be scary.

Liston, who made this much money by cutting off people’s limbs, said something that was almost absurd… … .

Anyway, instead of saying that, I sold drugs.

-The first person to discover this was Henning Brandt, an alchemist in the 17th century. While he was collecting urine and evaporating it, he discovered a luminescent substance, phosphorus. I wonder why he did that… … Anyway, it’s a great discovery, right? Of course, even before then, people knew that lighting bones on fire sometimes produces a strange glow.

Selling medicine required some background knowledge.

Of course, that wasn’t enough… … .

I was Korean.

Kim Tae-pyeong, a genius doctor from Joseon, the mysterious land of quiet mornings.

“brother. this… … This light. I heard I saw it a lot somewhere… … .”

“Where did you see something like this?”

“Collect human urine, evaporate it, set it on fire, and it burns like this.”

“Ugh… … ?”

“But if you breathe in too much of that smoke, you will die!”

“Huh?”

Liston looked like he didn’t know what was going on.

So did others.

It must have been because what I said sounded a bit absurd.

To be honest, if I had just listened without knowing anything, I wouldn’t have wondered what this guy was talking about.

I understood it, but I couldn’t just be convinced that I understood it.

It looks like someone is going to die!

“Come here first!”

“Uh oh. yes.”

Fortunately, the person who was inhaling the smoke was dragged out under my guidance.

It’s not that I’m not, but now I’ve become a famous doctor that everyone knows.

What I say is meaningless… … .

“I feel… … .”

under… … fuck.

That’s not it.

It seemed like this guy was already showing some symptoms.

“Oops.”

I was nauseous.

Is there a cure?

Even if there was, there would be no difference.

Are you staying here?

‘There’s no neutralizer, this…’ … .’

To make matters worse, there wasn’t any medicine that came to mind.

I guess it probably wasn’t there… … In that case, there was nothing else that could be done in this situation other than giving the person some fresh air.

The priority is to lower the concentration.

“Come this way! “Lie down here.”

So, with Joseph’s help, I dragged the patient outside and laid him down.

When I looked around, it was all forest. Fortunately, the fresh air seemed to be enough.

‘Whew… … Start the fire again with something else… … No, these crazy people.’

When I returned after administering first aid, I saw Liston leading the way and grilling meat.

Even though I just saw someone fall… … You can do that?

Isn’t there a limit to being insensitive?

“Oh, come here, the smoke color is nice now. Well, since it’s a fire, I have to eat it. “That friend will get better in some way.”

No, that wasn’t it.

After listening to what I said, I saw that the smoke color had definitely changed to a normal color.

The amount also decreased significantly.

Well, it was a bit ridiculous to worry that everyone here would be poisoned with just one match.

Still, the meat here… … .

“Look at the radishes first. “I heard this is really delicious?”

Liston handed the meat to me, who was clearly embarrassed.

It seemed like the meat was of good quality to begin with as the fat was slick.

Even in the British Empire, it would not be easy to obtain meat of this high quality… … .

“Yes, bro.”

I ate it not because I was hungry, but because I felt grateful.

Really… … .

It’s not like I just fell for meat… … .

“How are you feeling?”

Of course, he also visited patients from time to time to check their condition.

Fortunately, perhaps because the amount aspirated was not too large, the symptoms did not progress further beyond nausea.

Still, it was too early to be at ease.

First of all, I don’t know much about acute white phosphorus poisoning… … .

‘I just want to see a disease that can be solved by cutting it with a knife… … .’

How dare you even think like this?

However, he was not a crazy doctor who could think about something else about a patient who was already sick, so he took the patient first and returned to the ward.

While I was here, I stopped by the amputation ward with my patient and the screaming had definitely decreased.

It didn’t completely disappear.

It had to be.

“Huh!”

“Aaaaaaa!”

First of all, this makes you feel sick, right?

Moreover, since it was not aspirin but an earlier drug, the pain-relieving effect would have been quite poor.

Nevertheless, both the patients and the medical staff were very satisfied, and I was able to see a fairly large welcoming crowd.

“You are truly a treasure to our hospital!”

Among them was the director.

If you think about it, today is during work hours… … No, isn’t that because I’m still a student?

Anyway, I didn’t mind at all even though I ended up eating some grilled meat.

He was just grinning with his thumbs up.

It was obvious what he was thinking.

After all, it’s money… … .

It was difficult to just swear.

Isn’t this a situation where I can just provide treatment?

‘To research… … ‘You must have a lot of money.’

It would be nice if I had all this knowledge, but unfortunately, the only knowledge I have is a little bit of medical knowledge.

As a result, people from all walks of life, especially chemists, were needed.

If you were to seduce me with something like a condom, you would have to pay money to seduce me with something else.

“yes yes. “I will work harder.”

“haha. Good good!”

“So, what you’re saying… … .”

“Say anything.”

The director seemed to be envisioning a rosy future, wondering how much amputation surgery a hospital with a monopoly on anesthesia and painkillers would be able to monopolize in the future.

So, I couldn’t ignore what I said.

After all, I’ve already hit two home runs in a row.

“I saw something called a white phosphorus match today… … That’s a very dangerous item. “Can the director possibly prevent that?”

“uh… … ?”

“Please go to the factory and at least tell us. That’s dangerous. Or you can come with me… … .”

“ah… … what… … Yeah, sure. “It’s not that difficult.”
