Episode 89 Mercury. Mercury chloride [3]

The mercury treatment lasted quite some time.

In fact, even if I had dipped it in and removed it for just one second, it would have felt like it had lasted a long time.

Something like that… … .

That… … .

Because it was a terrible thing that should not be done to a person even for a moment.

“Woah, wow. “Wooweeeek!”

Should we call this a side effect?

Do the bastards who soak people in mercury really call this a side effect?

Shouldn’t we just see it as a predicted nightmare?

“Good, good.”

“Good, Professor.”

“It’s as expected.”

Even his subordinates, including Jemel and his assistants, who were standing in a row behind him, were laughing.

Coming to this bloody era, I have often thought that there is no such thing as hell… … I don’t think I’ve ever been as sincere as I am now.

I’m holding on tight because I’m afraid I’ll faint if I lose my mind even a little, right now… … .

“Okay then, it looks like you’ve vomited enough, so let’s go to the ward.”

“Yes, Professor. “I’ll move it again.”

“If it seems effective, leave it for now…” … “Let’s do it a few more times while checking the status.”

It was then.

As a strong sailor, Killian, who had endured all kinds of treatment and even torture, fainted.

It seemed that no matter how many times he traveled across the Atlantic, he couldn’t bear the thought of doing this a few more times.

In fact, it was great to endure it even once.

If it were me, I’d already be dead… … .

“Utcha.”

In any case, since it was a world where there were no beds that could be pushed, the assistants loaded Killian on something similar to a stretcher.

Then he returned to his hospital bed, showing off his strong forearms.

Only then could I properly see Killian’s face.

He looked like he was almost dead.

The word “pale” seemed to be used in situations like this, and it was completely gone.

“Oh, I see you were treated well.”

“I know. haha. Syphilis is poisonous. They say this hospital doesn’t skimp on mercury, and it’s true! haha.”

“Someone I know is having a hard time. I guess I should call them here.”

As they saw Killian come back looking like a zombie, the patients all started talking about this and that.

Even though all of the patients had their limbs cut off or were scheduled to be cut off, in other words, they were in terrible condition, they were filled with affection.

It must have been because he took the medicine I made.

Of course, there were still some people who wore the Oman Award.

Since it was not a complete medicine in the first place and was an extremely primitive painkiller and anti-inflammatory drug, it was difficult to expect great results.

“eww… … eww… … .”

Anyway, I came back after seeing my patients, doing a brief dissection in between, and listening to a lecture.

Killian was awake.

This is what he meant: he is not dead and his eyes are open.

Once again, he was a great guy.

surely… … Would he be like a man who was able to seduce countless women even though he had syphilis?

It wasn’t usually harsh and persistent.

-If you want to date a guy, try being a little harsh. I don’t like it because it’s so pointless.

I remembered the advice my senior once gave me when I was almost a motherfucker.

“are you okay?”

Of course, I wasn’t particularly interested in foreigners, so I focused on taking care of patients.

It’s not that it’s not, but Killian’s appearance right now was so terrible that even a cold-blooded person would feel sympathy for him.

“It’s okay… … Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I don’t think so.”

Killian suddenly got angry at me.

It was something that couldn’t be done.

How could he be mad at Dr. Liston?

What would you do if they told you to cut off your hands and feet when it was obvious that you had syphilis?

It’s a scary story, but it’s not like it never happened.

Since we live in an age where we don’t know anything about incubation period or outbreaks, let alone blood tests, we have no choice but to focus only on visible phenomena. As a result, there are many doctors who want to directly remove lesions that look like papules.

Doesn’t it seem like a lot?

People like Liston who cut with the patient in mind are noble, and there are also people who cut just out of curiosity?

“Yeah, what. It doesn’t look okay. But, did you hear it? “I may do the treatment I did today a few more times.”

“rather… … kill me… … .”

Anyway, I continued speaking with a generous heart.

Then Killian reached out his bound hands towards mine and began to beg.

It was of no use.

They were tied so tightly that it seemed like not even a gorilla would be able to escape.

In fact, it was clear that if I received the treatment I received during the day, I would be able to stretch like an elephant, not a real gorilla.

How dare you submerge a person in mercury?

-Something like that. Some hospitals emit mercury vapor. Like a sauna. How effective will it be? I’m jealous… … The director doesn’t give permission.

What Jemel said to me was truly shocking.

If you look closely, it seems like these bastards are not thinking about saving people, but are only thinking about how to kill people shockingly.

-I just want to die now.

Aside from that, Killian’s words just made me sink into a very old memory.

This happened when I was a resident, and a patient who had postponed surgery because he wanted to attend his child’s wedding with a healthy face missed the timing.

I tried all kinds of treatments, but isn’t timing really the most important thing in all treatments?

This was especially true in the case of cancer.

No, the professor and I… … .

So, in the end, we lost the patient.

Before that, the patient lost his will to live and his mind.

“To die. “I will try anything.”

I decided then.

Even if the treatment seems a bit excessive, if it seems necessary, give it a try.

If the treatment goes beyond the extreme and is crazy like here, we should make an exception, but anyway.

“don’t do it… … Please don’t… … .”

Killian, who had no way of knowing my true feelings, tried to wave his hands.

My heart ached as the hands tied to the railings on both sides of the bed moved back and forth.

Well, considering what happened today, it wasn’t unreasonable to do this.

No, if you cooperate with treatment, that’s the problem.

It means you’re crazy.

“I’m glad.”

“No, thank goodness…” … help me… … No, kill me… … .”

Thinking that he wasn’t crazy, I tapped with my finger a 1cm-sized area of ​​Killian’s body that was still free of poop and vomit.

“Hi.”

Killian crouched as if that didn’t seem auspicious.

-The next treatment will be decided in three days.

Looking at Killian like that, I remembered the words Jamel had left only for me earlier.

3 days.

Jemel just spoke in a casual tone… … .

To me, it felt like a time-limited sentence.

From my perspective, it seems like a miracle that Killian didn’t die today.

“See you later.”

“don’t do it… … Don’t do anything, please… … .”

I left Killian’s non-pleading pleas behind and went out.

“Is it better? How can you give that precious mercury to a guy like that? The real Dr. Jemel is a true doctor.”

The person who welcomed me was a completely 19th century doctor.

Before that, he was also my close friend Joseph… … .

Anyway, I tapped the guy on the shoulder without feeling it was worth responding.

“Let’s go see our senior first and then come back here.”

“huh? Why don’t you go home and rest?”

“Killian… … “If you leave it like this, you’ll die.”

“Syphilis usually kills.”

“no… … “It’s not like that.”

these cubs

You guys look killer, just like always.

I barely held back my last words and got into the carriage.

Fortunately, Joseph was always obedient to me, and after what happened yesterday, he became even more so, so I didn’t have to say anything more.

“Oh, are you here?”

“Yes, everything was okay, right?”

“Yes, if anything had happened, I would have sent my message.”

“I’ll see you.”

As soon as I arrived at my senior’s house, I ran to my room first.

This was where Alfred was.

‘It seems like nothing much is happening… … ‘It means nothing more or less than that.’

Even in the 21st century, guardian statements are only for reference.

Of course, detailed descriptions of symptoms and progress are helpful.

The decision of whether it is okay or not should be made by the medical staff.

In the 19th century, when higher education was not universalized and even the existence of such a thing was doubtful, it was a shame to say the least.

“hmm… … .”

I started by checking the pulse.

I kept thinking over and over that it would be nice to have a blood pressure monitor.

I heard there is a way to measure it… … .

At first glance, it seemed like it would never be commercialized.

First of all, I heard that to measure blood pressure, you have to insert a needle into a blood vessel… … .

Not in the veins, but in the arteries.

Of course, we also had arterial blood pressure monitors, but their use was limited to truly critically ill patients.

‘In the grand scheme of things, even if you’re weaker than me… … ‘I don’t think it’s that low.’

Thanks to this, the blood pressure I am currently measuring was really just a guess.

Even so, he would have been able to make more accurate judgments than any other doctor of this era.

“I don’t have a fever… … First of all, it doesn’t seem like the inflammation is getting worse… … .”

I felt my pulse and also felt my forehead at the same time.

Since it was impossible to measure the exact temperature, it was just a guess.

And then I saw a boat.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Since the stitching thread was not medical thread, there was some redness around the area, but I thought I could get over this level of local inflammation.

No, it shouldn’t be like that… … I passed on it because there was no alternative.

“Huh… … .”

“Are you coming to your senses?”

“uh… … “My mind is fine.”

“It doesn’t look okay… … Anyway, how’s your stomach?”

As I was looking at my senior like that, he suddenly opened his eyes, moaned, and then opened his mouth.

He spoke well, but his face was honestly a mess.

Since I couldn’t eat anything, I had no choice but to do that.

However, I was worried about everything because I couldn’t just inject the sap.

From needles to tubes to IV fluids, there was nothing I could trust.

‘Unless I die… … ‘Let’s not do that.’

I felt like I shouldn’t do anything unless it was as bad as the person who dug it out of the grave.

The good news was that my senior had appendicitis.

If it had been any other disease, it would have taken forever to recover to the point where I could eat, but this only took a few days.

“I’m going to press a little bit here. “It’s really just a little bit, so don’t start playing already.”

“Ugh.”

“how is it?”

“hmm… … “Is it a little painful?”

“Good. “The progress is good.”

“uh… … thank you.”

“Thank you. “It’s natural for a doctor to treat a patient.”

“Still, thank you for saving my life. “If it weren’t for you, I would have already died twice.”

“I don’t know yet, so let’s wait a week and say hello again.”

“Ugh.”

I spoke defensively, but honestly, I didn’t think anything special would happen.

Well, who would have had an operation and something would happen?

‘Maybe I’m a real genius… … .’

With my shoulders raised, I started wandering around looking for pieces of bread that I had hidden around the house.

The plan was to use this to see if the bacteria growing on the agar agar would die, then select the ones that were effective and feed them to Killian one by one, and if it seemed okay, feed them to the senior as well.

I felt a bit like I was being assimilated into the 19th century, but I couldn’t help it.

‘Great progress comes from a sense of adventure.’

Thinking of words that weren’t even in the genealogy, I put the pieces of bread in a colander.
