and… … .

It’s not like I’ve had an appendectomy for a day or two… … .

Even for me, surgery in the 19th century seemed too stressful.

I really couldn’t sleep at all.

“Piyoung. “Shouldn’t you sleep?”

I was so nervous that I snuggled up next to my senior and literally nursed him while his guardian was also sleeping.

No, can this be called nursing?

As I’ve said repeatedly, I’m a pretty good doctor.

This isn’t really just something you say… … He is an excellent doctor both objectively and subjectively.

To me, all the opinions given by the patient and my senior did not feel like they were in vain.

“it’s okay. Older than him… … “It’s holding up pretty well.”

“I think it looks a lot better than yesterday. Thank you again. “I’ll make sure you don’t have to worry about money for the rest of your life.”

“that… … thank you.”

“Well, I guess I can make money with condoms. Anyway… … “I’ll make sure you don’t feel bad.”

“thank you.”

Hearing these words was a truly trivial benefit.

I felt like everything was in order all night long.

I almost achieved something and ascended to heaven.

‘uh… … I have a fever. Surely it’s not atelectasis?’

First of all, the senior had quite a fever.

In fact, it had no choice but to be so.

There is no way to reduce the fever.

Plus, the anesthesia was a mess.

I was able to have the surgery without really feeling any pain.

That alone is enough to be thankful.

“senior. senior. Take a breath. “Take a deep breath.”

“after… … under… … .”

Atelectasis.

To put it simply, it could be said that the lungs were shriveled due to lack of airflow.

This was actually a problem that could occur even in modern anesthesia.

When you use a respirator, that is, a ventilator, it cannot blow air into the original respiratory capacity.

Then, there would be areas of the lungs where air could not enter properly.

That’s where the fever comes from… … Since this primitive anesthetic gas also blows away consciousness, breathing is not complete, and even more atelectasis is bound to occur.

‘Dr. Liston’s method… … It might still be right.’

Although amputation was slower than before, it was still a minute-by-minute operation.

As a result, atelectasis did not occur.

However, when I had surgery for sinusitis, it was different.

surely… … You got a fever?

Thinking that it might be the same cause, no, to be more precise, I decided to think that it might be the same cause, so I asked my senior to take a deep breath.

“Whoa… … ha… … .”

The senior continued taking deep breaths without even knowing what was happening.

It had to be.

I was very sick with appendicitis… … .

The ship was open… … .

I don’t even have a fever… … .

Would that be normal if you were conscious?

“Right. good.”

If I had a stethoscope, it would be nice to listen to sounds here and there.

Since I didn’t have that, I had to hear it with my own ears.

“Oh my. sorry.”

“uh. It’s not like that.”

“No, no. “Sorry for disturbing you.”

“I said no, damn it!”

Perhaps because the senior was a man approaching adulthood, the skin was thick.

In particular, the chest was unnecessarily thick, so I had to hold my ears really close and move it around.

The maid who came into the room at that time saw it.

It would have been better if I had just said Hmm… … .

This person seemed considerate and hurriedly left, which made me feel strange.

“Ha, whoa.”

Meanwhile, the senior is out of breath… … .

Anyway, I keep my ears closed… … .

“Ugh, ugh.”

The maid keeps calming her shocked heart… … .

‘Sibeol… … .’

Even thinking about it again makes me feverish.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I particularly regret the past time.

Thanks to you, my senior is still alive.

“Sass… … Ssam… … .”

Sleep well… … .

The fever has gone down now.

Last night, I woke up for a long time out of breath, so it seemed like my atelectasis had completely resolved.

Not only did the symptoms improve, but I could also hear breathing evenly when I put my ear to it.

“Hey, what about school?”

Joseph, who was next to me but was sleeping like a young boy, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked me.

This bastard didn’t know the severity of the situation at all as he was just sleeping and waking up now.

If you think about it, it’s a crazy situation where the professor stays up all night, but the interns and trainee students barely sleep… … .

Since I didn’t know anything, there was nothing I could do.

What does he know?

How do you know how dangerous stomach surgery is?

In particular, as it is now, it cannot be properly disinfected, anesthesia is not properly administered, and there are no antibiotics… … .

‘Ha, fuck.’

In that situation, I saved my senior for now.

He said he had tied his life to this world.

If I had a professor, he would have given me a lot of praise.

If there were others, I would have admired them.

‘There are only those who know nothing, so there are no people who admire… … .’

A, Shiva.

I tried to let go of the anger rising inside me and looked back at Joseph.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Whatever happened, wasn’t it resolved?

Above all, there were too many patients in the hospital.

There were two patients who underwent sinusitis surgery, patients with phantom pain, and patients in the amputation ward who took medication and had to see what was going on.

Yes, it’s just pain control, but… … .

In this era, pain control was so important that it could be said to be more important than the treatment itself.

“Are you okay, senior?”

“You’re so quick to ask. It’s okay for now. however… … First, you have to take a good look. “It should be seen as a similar situation to the hand before.”

“Ah… … Then you will have a lot of trouble. “Then do I have to open my stomach and disinfect it every day?”

“huh? what a terrible… … no. “That shouldn’t happen.”

Having to open the ship again… … Doesn’t that mean the inside is completely full of pus?

Even with antibiotics, the situation was not easy.

But in this situation?

It might have been better to leave the body intact rather than reopen it.

All right.

Anyway, we arrived at the hospital by carriage.

“Hey, are you here? Patients with phantom pain have really improved.”

Shortly after entering, Dr. Liston approached me.

His face always looked scary yet cheerful, and it was like that today too.

‘I keep seeing this face… … I feel a little bit of change… … ?’

Surprisingly, I noticed some differences in it.

“Look over there. “That patient also got better.”

“uh… … ?”

“Do you want to know?”

“Yes, of course. “Isn’t this the person that the person called Goodwill brought in back then?”

“Right. Haha, I guess it’s because there are rumors these days. I hear a lot of people come… … That friend also came and got help.”

“Good for you! really.”

When I looked to see why, I saw that a person who had suffered trauma from having his arm cut off several times was here.

His face had gotten much better.

It was because mirror therapy helped.

Anyway, wouldn’t it be much better than cutting off your arm?

“Ah, but why can’t I see Alfred?”

“ah… … that is. “I was sick yesterday.”

“it hurts? Are you hurt? “Are your limbs okay?”

oh.

Now I see that our Alfred almost got his arm cut off.

Anyway, I roughly summarized it and explained the whole story.

I even said that I had to open my stomach because I had appendicitis, but it was because I thought he was a good match.

“oh… … “As expected, you are amazing.”

“thank you. “We still have to wait and see.”

Indeed it was.

This was especially true because Liston was in a particularly good mood.

Something good is good for today, isn’t that what it feels like?

“Oh, and the amputation ward patients here are also getting better.”

“First of all, the screams aren’t loud… … “It seems like that.”

“Yes, that’s right. Are you sure? No matter how much you think about that suspicious water, I was a bit like that. “When I actually tried it, I liked it, me too.”

“Thank goodness. But how about feeling sick?”

“There is some of that, though. It’s much better than having pain in my arms and legs. “Isn’t it natural?”

Liston chuckled and handed me the cookie.

It didn’t look delicious.

Just feels like flour?

“They say it gets better if we eat this together. “I’ll have to look at it little by little.”

“ah… … “I think that would be really good.”

“Anyway, take a look.”

“yes.”

I passed the mirror treatment room and entered the amputation ward.

It was definitely quiet.

More than before.

Of course, it was quiet by 19th century standards, but it wasn’t actually quiet.

If you want to study here, you don’t have to wear noise-canceling earphones.

“are you okay?”

“yes yes.”

“Are you okay?”

“yes.”

“great.”

“yes.”

Liston’s rounds were almost like the director’s rounds.

When you ask me if I’m okay with this face, who on earth can say no?

Unless it’s someone who seems like they’re going to be followed right away, I nod my head unconditionally.

If you ask me if I’m okay too… … .

You’re probably just nodding your head without even knowing what’s going on?

“uh… … .”

Anyway, as I followed him around, I came across an empty bed.

It was originally a bed with a person in it.

Who was it?

I don’t remember much, but my heart felt cold.

because… … .

In hospitals during this period, if a hospital bed is empty, someone is dead… … .

“this… … “Isn’t this Killian’s hospital bed?”

“huh? Ah, that bastard. uh? Did you run away?”

But this was Killian’s hospital bed.

Now that I think about it, there are still things that look like dirty bandages tied to the iron pillar of the hospital bed here and there for binding purposes.

“Is he dead?”

“die? Even if it’s syphilis… … “It didn’t really look like he was going to die.”

“You never know.”

It seemed possible that he died not from syphilis but from the mercury used as a treatment.

As we were talking, the patient next to me approached me.

This was a patient whose pain subsided after taking medicine other than the medicine I gave him.

“People were dragging you away earlier?”

What I heard was quite absurd.

No, should I say shocking?

“yes? Are you dragging me?”

“What are you talking about?”

This was true not only for me, but also for Dr. Liston.

What does it mean to drag someone from the hospital?

Are you a police officer?

“I think it’s the hospital people… … that… … “So, you said it was Dr. Jemel?”

It would have been better if it was a police officer.

No matter how hard it is for those people, they will just explode with cramps and not die.

But the fact that you were taken by the people at the hospital doesn’t mean that you went there to get some treatment, right?

Strangely, the more serious doctors are about treatment during this period, the more people die… … .

“Where… … Where did you go?”

It was true that Killian was a bad guy.

They spread a disease for which there is no cure.

But that didn’t mean they were dragged to death like dogs like they are now.

People shouldn’t die like that.

“I don’t know. “He must have gone there to treat syphilis.”

Of course it’s syphilis again.

How can you cure a disease for which there is no medicine?

I became impatient and headed outside.

“Where are you going? I heard you went for treatment. “It will heal well.”

Liston is saying things like that behind my back, so I need to step up too.

“Aaaaaa.”

Listening closely, I heard screams coming from the other side of the amputation ward.

I don’t know if it was Killian’s voice, but it was clear that he was holding someone.
