Dark-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 97
Only Noblemtl
Episode 97: Wuthering Heights… … ? [One]
Emily Brontë.
Wuthering Heights.
Isn’t there a common prejudice that people have when it comes to classics?
It would have been well written, so it would have become a classic masterpiece, and I, who only sell medicine, would have no right or reason to say anything about it… … For some reason, it didn’t seem like it would be any fun, right?
So, for quite some time, I didn’t devote anything to the classics other than reading to study Korean for the college entrance exam.
‘that… … The works that broke that prejudice were and … … .’
It was interesting to learn later that Somerset Maugham, who wrote “The Moon and Sixpence,” was being re-evaluated by praising “Wuthering Heights,” which had not been recognized by the public before, as an immortal work.
Anyway.
Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about this.
‘Emily Brontë… … He died young, right?’
Are you thirty?
He was probably dead by then.
Looking at the times, you might wonder if he died that early.
but… … .
I thought it might have been because rabies was affecting him in some way.
“Emily Bronte… … “Is that your name?”
“yes.”
After barely organizing my messed up brain, I asked the child again.
Now that I think about it, my eyes seemed to sparkle because I was so intelligent.
Yes, I guess I wrote something like that because it was like this.
“My little brother… … Is there something wrong with the name?”
Although I was wearing a doctor’s gown, I was Asian, and instead of doing anything in particular, I was just asking questions, and the older woman who was standing next to me came forward.
This one, too, looks quite formidable, if only in terms of his intelligence.
It was natural.
‘Charlotte Bronte… … .’
The work my sister left behind is none other than Jane Eyre.
This too… … I thought it was fun to watch.
Well written.
So, it would have remained a masterpiece and been made into movies several times.
In other words, they are genius sisters… … I had no idea that one of them was bitten by a dog when he was young.
‘Isn’t it obvious?’
Even though I was relatively good at reading for a medical student, it wasn’t even my major, so how much would I have read?
Moreover, because I really lived like a slave during my internship and residency years, the only literature I read during those days were theses and textbooks.
So, criticizing me as ignorant is a bit too much.
“No, it’s a good name. “I will become a big person.”
“How can a woman be such a big person?”
Ohh.
also.
This is why I left .
It was a time when only pretty and obedient female protagonists appeared.
It was a strange feeling to see the author of a work I liked face to face.
Maybe that’s why, even though it was probably an attempt on our part, there was still a smile on my face.
“Why are you being so decisive? It can be done. But then… … “We need to solve this.”
“I brought a frying pan. with this… … “Please burn it with this.”
“No, that’s not possible.”
It’s terrible to use a soldering iron, but using a frying pan is a terrible thing.
If I hadn’t seen it at all, I would have stood by.
Because it is the limit of the times.
But I saw it.
Plus, it was Emily Brontë.
When it comes to writers representing England in the 19th century, their names are always on the list!
However, he died young at the age of 30, so his only work was Wuthering Heights!
‘I’ll make you live longer, so try writing at least one more work.’
Then, the immortal work is doubled to 1+1.
Kya… … .
Future people will be good.
I hope I have a lot to read!
“What’s wrong!” “I guess you’re not much older than me.”
Contrary to the grand meaning I had in my head, reality was cold.
“Okay, why are you suddenly doing this? Yesterday, they even took a dog. huh? This yellow circle… … .”
In addition to Charlotte Brontë, even the doctor who originally looked after Emily joined in and started criticizing me.
what… … .
From the looks of it, I could have been a teenage boy at most.
You’re actually young, and since you’re Asian, wouldn’t you have no choice but to look younger than your peers?
But even though Charlotte doesn’t know, that doctor shouldn’t have done that.
“What are you? My brother. Doctor Pyeong. Don’t you know? Developed anesthetics and painkillers. “We even created antibiotics recently.”
“that… … .”
“Why are your eyes rolling? “You sure he didn’t mean to say ‘monkey’ out of his mouth?”
“Oh, no.”
because?
There’s Liston.
If you wanted to insult me in front of this person, you would have to bring a company of soldiers with guns.
No, it won’t be easy though.
He’s the one who cut off the police chief’s mother’s leg.
“Look, this guy is very talented. “I happen to have a deep knowledge of dog bite wounds.”
“Who is the teacher, and who guarantees this person’s skills?”
and… … .
That didn’t seem to be the case either.
Charlotte Brontë was looking up at Liston with wide eyes.
Honey, you can’t do that.
I can’t use it.
This person speaks like a doctor but is actually a thug.
“ha ha ha!”
I was worried what would happen if I got hit like that.
Liston chuckled, as if he were a chaebol from a wealthy family who had been slapped, meaning it was the first time you treated me like this, and continued speaking.
“I’m Dr. Liston. don’t you know “It’s quite famous.”
“ah… … Dr. Liston! “I know.”
“And this guy is Doctor Pyeong. As I said before, he created anesthetics, painkillers, antibiotics, etc.”
It’s still at a bit too early a stage to be called an anesthetic, painkiller, or antibiotic, but that wouldn’t be a lie.
I smiled and spread my shoulders.
“aha… … hmm. okay. then… … .”
I don’t think that would have helped, but anyhow, Charlotte Brontë looked at me and started nodding.
It was a good thing.
Treatment cannot occur without trust.
This was especially true when it came to treatment in this era.
Isn’t the only treatment that anyone can see questionable?
“I assure you. “No matter where you receive treatment in London, I will provide you with the best treatment.”
The medicine that immediately comes to mind is dried dog brain and medulla oblongata.
It may be absurd to blurt out such words on such a topic, but in any case, it was bound to be a much more proper treatment than burning it with fire.
Whatever it is, this remains in the literature.
Our Dr. Louis Pasteur… … .
I had no choice but to trust it as it was a document left behind by a person who changed the history of mankind.
“hmm… … What do you think?”
Charlotte, feeling quite shaken, rolled her eyes and looked at Emily.
Instead of her older sister, Emily looked at me, the frying pan, and the iron the doctor had just brought out, and then grabbed my hand, probably thinking that whatever it was, it would be better than a heated iron or a frying pan.
“I’ll get it from this teacher.”
Yeah, that’s it.
As expected from the person who wrote Wuthering Heights, this is a wise choice.
I said with a smile.
“Good idea. “Let’s take a look at the wound first.”
“yes.”
“This might hurt a little, will it be okay?”
“I can bear it.”
He smiled, but looking at the wound, it didn’t look that good.
It looks like it might be something other than rabies.
‘Maybe losing is the answer here?’
In an age where even people, let alone pet dogs, don’t brush their teeth properly, would a crazy dog walking around on the street brush its teeth?
As I slowly looked to the side, I saw a dog drooling.
I was looking around to see if there was anything to bite, and as soon as Liston picked up the knife, I started whimpering.
Just because it was like that didn’t mean it wasn’t a crazy dog.
It was like that yesterday too?
“Joseph, some water. Boil it and bring it to me.”
“uh?”
“I’m not saying you should clean it with boiled water. “If you boil it, the bad guys inside will disappear.”
“ah.”
Anyway, I decided to check the wound first.
Fortunately, it’s not raining, so I guess it’s okay to leave some medicine(?) on the roof.
Besides, it’s not like we can slaughter this dog right now.
Since it’s not a good idea to ignore the bite wound, it seemed better to do what you can.
“It’s going to be a little bitter.”
Since Joseph had become a skilled teaching assistant for a long time, he was able to boil water without much difficulty.
It took some time to cool down, but since the weather in London is cool at best and chilly at worst, it didn’t take that long.
“Ugh.”
As I poured some cold water, I examined the child’s wounds more closely.
As I looked at it, a thought occurred to me, but the original principle was that you should look at the wound and do something, not just ignore it.
Treating someone without even knowing how injured they are… … .
Isn’t this really strange?
“You’re holding up well. where… … Hmm.”
As I wiped it away with water, the blood stains and the dirt that seemed to have been on the dog’s teeth were completely washed away.
It wasn’t just swelling, it was possible because I was rubbing it around with my gloved hands.
In other words, it was going to be really painful, but fortunately Emily tolerated it well.
He was definitely a person who left his mark on history, so even though he was young, he was extraordinary.
‘It’s dangerous to suture carelessly.’
Looking at the torn wound, it was natural for the surgeon’s instincts to kick in and him to struggle.
What kind of instinct is this?
It was the desire for suturing.
Right now, even though the tools I have here are extremely crude, I can suture a bite wound like this with ease.
Fortunately, it wasn’t bitten, but it was just bitten, so it was possible, but anyway.
‘in… … If anaerobic bacteria grow, they die.’
There is a saying, dirty wound.
A representative example was the dog bite wound right in front of me.
There’s no way something like this could be clean, right?
In any case, the treatment principles for these wounds had to be different from those of knife cuts or stab wounds.
If you treat it hastily, it could lead to worse results.
‘Then there is no … … .’
and.
How can I bear that guilt?
With this in mind, I examined the wound very carefully and decided to suture only the torn muscle and leave the superficial wound as is.
“Are you planning on leaving it like this?”
Naturally, there was nothing to like in the eyes of the surgeons.
After all, if something is cut out, you have to cut it out to get rid of it, and if there’s something that’s cut, you have to suture it to get rid of it.
It is no exaggeration to say that Liston has reached the ultimate level, and there is nothing more to say.
“yes.”
But that didn’t mean I could close something that shouldn’t be closed.
“why?”
Of course, it was impossible not to close it with a rag.
There had to be a basis.
If Liston was the opponent, not Joseph or Alfred, it had to be that way.
“There was a saying like this in Joseon.”
I didn’t mention Joseon because something came to mind.
Just from my past experience, if I try to say something, it comes out automatically?
He’s going out in a hurry, that’s what he said.
