Dark-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 90

Episode 90: Antibiotics… … ? [One]

“Do this to people… … Eat… … ?”

Killian looked at me with an expression that said he was really doing too much.

me?

Of course I was mortified.

‘this… … ‘I have confirmed over the past few hours that it kills germs.’

I guess it’s because I went home as dinner was almost over, and I checked on the senior’s condition, and picked up the bread and killed the germs that had grown. It was after 12 o’clock.

Normally I shouldn’t go out at a time like this, but I was okay with it since I was the recipient of Dr. Liston’s special treatment from the police for cutting off my mother’s leg.

Anyway… … .

It meant that I did my best.

That said, there was a problem.

‘But if you pour in mercury, the bacteria will die… … ?’

If you think that the agar medium and the inside of the human body are the same, wouldn’t you be a scientist anymore?

Even if you just think about it based on common sense, you would think that wasn’t true.

But that’s how it was done in the 19th century.

‘me too… … ‘He could be trying to do the same thing.’

ha.

I sighed once and looked up at the sky.

What caught my eye was not the sky, but the gloomy, grimy ceiling.

It was unfortunate that the lights were dark, but I think it would have been more depressing if it had been bright.

‘This is better than being immersed in mercury.’

I sighed again and took a sip of the cup.

Inside was a blue mold that I scraped off as best I could.

It was a bit awkward to just feed it like this, but it was also difficult to pour water into it.

What should I do if I pour water on it and it gets damaged due to osmosis and loses its effectiveness?

Then this person just drank some strange blue water.

“Do this to people… … Are you a person?”

So, I’m saying that I’m paying a lot of attention to other people, but Killian doesn’t know how I feel and his eyes are wide open.

If it were like before, I honestly would have been scared.

It was okay now.

Would you be scared?

I saw you crying while pooping earlier.

Rather, what made me uncomfortable was the faint smell of feces that still emanated from Killian.

Nevertheless, the patients sleeping peacefully next to me were also annoying.

They were truly far from cleanliness and hygiene.

“Eat, just.”

Anyway, as if Liston had possessed me, I violently forced Killian’s mouth open with my gloved hand and poured the blue mold in the cup.

Still, I wasn’t sure if I was good at it.

You just pour it without knowing the capacity, right?

Of course, it was safe to say that there was little chance of overuse.

Medicine in the modern sense, which we take as a pill, is made by removing impurities from these natural extracts and collecting only the necessary ingredients… … It’s the essence of modern science.

To put it bluntly, if you want to eat the ingredients advertised in health functional products in their natural state, you may need to eat only those ingredients with every meal.

“town… … Ugh!”

Regardless of those thoughts, I stuffed the blue mold into the patient’s mouth and covered it.

If I didn’t want to die, I had to swallow it.

If you keep holding on, you’ll suffocate to death.

“eww… … eww!”

I looked at Killian’s neck with his mouth covered, and only released him when I saw him gurgling up and down.

“how… … how… … !”

Killian looked at me like I was some kind of monster.

me really

It’s not like I’m treating pediatric patients, I’m trying to save people, but I’m being misunderstood like this.

Rather than being angry, I was just dumbfounded.

As I thought of it as a limitation of the times, my sense of absurdity gradually faded.

‘Ah, the smell of poop.’

No, rather than that, I was just distracted by the smell coming from Killian.

All right.

All right.

And when I thought about it on the way back in the carriage, I thought he was such a pitiful guy.

To treat syphilis, I ate mercury chloride, pooped, fell into the mercury, vomited… … .

After that, he ate an unknown fungus… … .

‘No, let’s go. But this guy did something wrong… … ?’

Then, when I thought about why he became like this, I remembered that he had accidentally touched women.

How many people have been harmed?

At first, I thought it was just because I didn’t know, but I guess that wasn’t the case.

When I looked it up, there was even a saying about being with Venus for one night and with Mercury for the rest of your life.

‘hmm. ‘Is this human punishment?’

Since heaven does not punish, people punish on their behalf… … .

I quietly thought about the sight of Jemel I had seen during the day.

What a sight to see in the world, step by step, immersing people with that kind face.

‘It’s scary… … .’

As I thought about that, I realized it was home.

I stopped by Alfred before going to bed.

The senior was still okay.

‘Sleep well.’

I think the surgery went really well.

I don’t think I can even feel pain properly.

also… … Am I not a genius?

Appendectomy is easier said than done, but it is not easy if you try to do it yourself.

But how can you achieve this with nothing?

Whoop whoop.

“Hey, what did you dream about that made you laugh all night?”

“You don’t have to know.”

Alfred was fine when I checked in the morning.

“Bye. “I’m hungry, but can’t I still eat?”

“When I fart, I just eat soup.”

“uh… … okay. “What about meat?”

“Let’s wait for meat for about 10 days.”

“ah… … .”

Today, I was even able to say hello.

At this point, it seemed like there was no chance of anything going wrong.

If the inflammation was spreading, it would have already spread.

The stitching area is a bit red… … .

The scar was a bit strong, but I didn’t think it would affect the general public.

“Um… … .”

When I went to the hospital and saw Killian, I could immediately hear him moaning.

It was because Killian started playing as soon as he saw my face.

It was only after I confirmed that there was nothing in my hands that I regained my composure.

‘anyway… … Syphilis is treated with a single dose of penicillin G.’

Syphilis has been a tremendous disease that has plagued humanity ever since it spread to Europe in the 16th century.

It was an object of fear, and some even said it was God’s punishment.

It was in the same vein as 20th century humanity seeing AIDS as a punishment from God.

There was talk that it was some kind of sexually transmitted disease or something like that.

However, with the advent of penicillin, syphilis was no longer an object of fear.

If you look at it from the perspective of an infectious disease, it really is nothing.

“I won’t give you anything. “Look at your hands.”

“uh… … yes yes.”

Naturally, I planned to just observe for at least three days.

Of course, if this mold doesn’t work, I’ll have to take mercury bath again… … .

‘Investment… … .’

When I think about the mistakes this guy made that were just as bad as the sight of him pooping, well… … .

It didn’t seem like such a terrible punishment.

In other words, other people should also receive this type of treatment.

You bastard.

“Look at your hands.”

“hand… … What?”

Paleness of papules on hands.

And you could tell whether syphilis had been treated by looking at the disappearance of rashes on the body.

That doesn’t mean the contagiousness goes away right away… … .

Anyway, I had to look at it to know something.

“look.”

“yes yes.”

So I looked at Killian’s hands, feet, and the rest of his body.

It still smelled so I had to wear gloves.

‘Honestly, I don’t know. Maybe I should go in again… … .’

I wouldn’t know if I had seen syphilis even in the 21st century… … .

I was a surgeon, not an infectious disease doctor.

Moreover, it was not common at the time for people to end up in university hospitals due to syphilis.

As I said before, it is a disease that can be cured with just one injection, so why would I come?

Of course, in late-stage syphilis, especially after it has invaded the central nervous system, things may be a little different… … .

Such cases were truly rare.

‘Next time the mercury falls, don’t follow it.’

Just because you go doesn’t mean you can do anything for them, you just see things you can’t see, right?

Besides, is this guy a bad guy?

It’s not something a doctor would think of… … .

It seemed like I had already become a 19th century doctor.

I’m sorry, but I guess I’m a 19th century doctor.

As I thought about this, I felt a little more at ease.

It was exactly two days later that the incident occurred.

“Oh, oh oh.”

That day, Alfred was late to go to the hospital because he farted at odd times.

Even if I came on time, I probably wouldn’t have been able to make it on time because of the lecture… … .

Anyway, as soon as I entered the amputation ward, I could hear Jemel’s exclamation.

‘Why is it like that… … ?’

Because this is a surgery… … .

The only thing he could admire was Killian.

no way.

Anxiety began to creep in.

With that thought in mind, I went further inside.

“Look at this! “Maybe I should have changed my routine a bit this time?”

Jemel stood with an emotional face.

I was holding onto the hand of Killian, who had a bewildered look on his face, or, to be honest, a face full of fear.

Then, my hand caught my eye, and it was definitely different from yesterday.

‘It’s clean… … ‘These bastards?’

Jemel pointed to the hand and continued to shout.

“Mercuric chloride and mercury. What other doctors told me was that it was wrong to use both of these at the same time! Especially those who mainly see syphilis! “These guys have been giving the same treatment for 300 years!”

He had an excited expression on his face, almost as if he was doing some kind of play.

It felt like a Greek play rather than a modern play.

It’s so exaggerated.

“But I proved it! Look at this! Everyone in London needs to know! Syphilis is no longer a scary disease! Mercury chloride and mercury! These two are key! “You can use these two at once!”

And the lines were so wrong.

Those two… … .

It should not be used on any animal, not just people… … .

Have you heard of Minamata disease?

I bet you haven’t heard

Because it happened in Japan in 1956.

Anyway, the important thing was that heavy metals such as mercury should not be used on people.

“oh… … Oh oh.”

Of course, these people had no chance of such common sense.

Blundell, who usually never came near the amputation ward because he was noisy, suddenly showed up now.

It didn’t just appear, its eyes were shining brightly.

“Is that really true? Was simultaneous mercuric chloride and mercury therapy effective?”

“Yes. I decided to call it Calamel Mercury Therapy!”

And then, he and Jemel matched up and took off in a hurry.

‘no… … .’

Even though I’ve accomplished very little in this era, it’s mostly been in a positive direction, hasn’t it?

Who would have thought that my blue mold would have led me to invent a hideous hybrid called Calamel Mercury Therapy?

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

This doesn’t work.

“I have failed so far. But I succeeded today. I will review all records from that day. Then a variable will appear!”

Even so far, it’s been a failure all along.

No, you guys… … .

“good. As soon as something comes out, please share it! “There are more than one patient who got sick because of that damn guy!”

“I know. I will do my best.”

Don’t do your best.

Don’t try.

Just stay here… … .
