Dark-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 98

Episode 98: Wuthering Heights… … ? [2]

“Do you think that makes sense now…? … ?”

It seemed that not all of this was working.

Actually, I think I crossed a line a bit this time.

Joseon is not some kind of fantasy land, so why would there be a case every time something happens?

“but… … Any country that can produce people like you… … “I think that might be possible.”

“oh.”

“oh?”

no… … .

It worked.

If he asks me to go to Joseon with him later, I have to run away.

– Among our military officers, those who are injured by mace are bandaged instead of sutured to stop the bleeding. Do you know why? Because you can’t suture? no! This is because there is a belief that if you close a wound with a blunt object covered in someone else’s blood and flesh, you will be cursed and rot. It might not be a curse, but… … Actually, that’s true. So it’s better to avoid it.

The Joseon that is in their minds now… … .

What should I say?

Isn’t it a country of medicine rather than a country of seclusion?

Hippocrates, Galen, etc. working in the rice fields… … .

In reality, Joseon would be no different from the Confucian Taliban at this point, so I didn’t even know if I would be destroyed if I went with them.

Either die at Liston’s hands or die at the hands of the police officers… … .

“No, no. “I don’t know if it’s okay to equate blunt weapons with dogs, but there’s no harm in being careful.”

“Yes, but… … Isn’t it certain that you will lose? Take a good look. “Isn’t there a little bit of blood?”

“What would happen to a person if they bleed that much?”

Anyway, with some persuasion, Emily Brontë was barely able to escape from the pressure of the iron.

Of course, Liston and other proud 19th-century doctors still got a kick out of seeing Emily’s wounds.

Every word was slightly bleeding.

From a medical perspective, it was right to stop that too.

If you heat something like fine tweezers instead of an iron… … I thought it might be possible later.

When people say they have a headache, they just talk about drawing blood.

I decided to leave it at that for now.

“And what’s more important is whether what was on the dog’s teeth would be weaker than what was on the body.”

“aha… … “That also makes sense.”

“If you look at the records, many of those who died from dog bites did not die from rabies symptoms, right?”

“huh? What does that mean?”

Liston looked at me with an incomprehensible expression.

I made a little mistake.

What I am saying now is that I am assuming that the other person is knowledgeable about the disease called rabies.

Oh my god, how knowledgeable are you?

In my view, if there was any field in which Liston could be called knowledgeable, it would probably be limited to the dissection of limbs.

“ah… … “If you get rabies, won’t you salivate excessively, develop a fever, and become afraid of water?”

“ah… … yes. “Isn’t that why they are also called rabies?”

Just because someone was an airborne patient, it didn’t mean they were arrogant and made a fuss while looking at stagnant water.

This was because the moment I drank water because I was thirsty, my larynx and diaphragm spasmed, causing tremendous pain.

After experiencing this once, it was accompanied by symptoms of seizures at the mere sight of water. Since medical knowledge and records at this time were not complete, there were many cases where it was passed down through misinformation.

In any case, since it is a fairly characteristic symptom, medical staff should be aware of it.

Of course, if this had progressed to the point where it occurred… … .

‘Even in the 21st century, there aren’t many ways.’

It was a disease so scary that it could be said that a hundred medicines were ineffective.

It is safe to say that it is an incurable disease, isn’t it true?

However, the vast majority of patients at this time were dying not from rabies but from bite wounds.

“But if you look at the records, there are many more patients who have only fever among those symptoms.”

“Uhm… … Whose record is this?”

“Professor Jemelina… … Anyway, here are the emergency room records.”

As a record, it wasn’t anything special.

It was obvious that there was no such thing as a SOAP format that I normally used at the hospital, and there was simply no such thing as a common format.

Each doctor wrote whatever they wanted to write at that time.

Even then, there were some who used it and some who didn’t, so the records weren’t complete.

I almost literally searched for it yesterday.

“ah… … .”

“If you look there, the most noticeable symptom is swelling at the bite site. Probably around here… … .”

You can’t call an infection an infection… … .

Since you can’t call a germ a germ, Soja leaves the hospital… … .

“This symptom is probably caused by something bad getting stuck around the bite.”

“Wouldn’t that also cause rabies?”

“ah.”

Will it really pop?

Even though I feel this way… … .

When I thought about the time when we didn’t even know about the existence of bacteria, let alone viruses, my anger subsided.

“It could be. But maybe not? “Couldn’t there be different types of bad things?”

“Wow, you’re really good at making leaps just by looking at me. First of all, it has not been proven whether bad things exist… … To put it bluntly, the air theory is the most popular so far.”

“ah… … yes. If that makes sense… … .”

“Given that hand washing is somewhat effective, there is a possibility that it is not. What kind of things are there? haha.”

Liston laughed at my words and then opened the door at the end of the hallway.

“That kind of change in thinking is… … It must be the source of your excellence. “I support you.”

Just looking at the cancer, it seemed like they thought it was ridiculous.

It was fine though.

That doesn’t mean you’re stopping me.

see now

First of all, you prepared a place for Emily to be hospitalized, right?

“This place… … ?”

As Emily was someone who was not scared even in front of Iron Man, she still kept her mouth shut.

So it was my sister who opened her mouth now.

Jane Eyre, no, Charlotte Brontë.

“The other wards are a bit… … That’s the state. “This is the professor’s lab, and we brought in a bed to use it as an inpatient room.”

I pointed to the bed, covering the past Liston knives hanging on the wall, to the child, who looked very upset.

It’s not that it’s not, but the beds here are in much better condition than the beds elsewhere.

First of all, since I wash my bedding every day… … .

That alone made a huge difference.

Of course, since I saw all kinds of new patients here, it would be difficult to say that it was very clean, but even so, compared to the general ward where the sheets were carelessly smeared with blood, pus, and feces, this was truly a special room.

“ah… … yes. But we don’t have money… … .”

“money? are you okay. I’m watching it on my way to work anyway. Are you okay, Professor?”

“huh? yes. “Strictly speaking, you are not a doctor yet.”

“Wouldn’t they be very anxious if I said that?”

“But let’s just say he’s better than most doctors. “Isn’t that actually true?”

Somehow I don’t seem to appreciate it as much as I intended… … .

Whatever it was, it was fortunate that it didn’t run away.

Anyway, I had no intention of getting any money.

What kind of money does it cost to live off Alfred?

Moreover, if condoms were released soon, there would be no problem in taking care of myself, even if it was not a money cushion.

Above all, these two were great writers of the future.

Rather, this is something that should be honored here.

“That’s why I decided to get treatment, so please take care of me. “You can call me Dr. Pyeong.”

“thank you.”

“yes.”

After formally saying hello, I looked at the wound again.

I was wondering whether to bandage it or not.

Why are you worrying about this?

The bandages at this time were truly horrendous.

Not only did it have to be wrapped around the wound to the extent that it couldn’t really bleed if you put pressure on it, but it also stuck to the wound, so when you took it off, it tended to ruin the wound.

In the first place, it could be said that there were no officially manufactured items called bandages.

The 19th century was a magical world where any piece of fabric could be torn and turned into a bandage.

‘It’s better not to do it.’

In most cases, it was better not to do it.

It can’t be helped if the bleeding is at an unavoidable level.

Fortunately, young Emily’s nutritional status may not have been very good, but she was not deficient, so she was recovering well.

First of all, I was lucky that the dog didn’t bite me hard.

As I was nodding my head while thinking that, Charlotte opened her mouth.

“I hit him with a frying pan. So it fell.”

“aha. But how did you get bitten?”

Right.

You hit me with a frying pan.

Perhaps Charlotte’s stake in saving Emily’s life may be greater than mine.

Medical care during this time is worse than we thought.

“I was going to give you food. “I was taught to be kind to animals too.”

“ah… … I see.”

Since only my sister came, I thought she was an orphan… … .

That didn’t seem to be the case.

is not it?

As I was tilting my head, the door creaked open and a man with a grayish face came in.

“My daughter… … She said she was bitten by her dog… … .”

“Ah, are you my father?”

“That’s right. you are… … .”

And as soon as he saw my face, he froze.

I was lucky that I didn’t mention the yellow monkey to his face.

It’s that kind of era.

So I’m fine… … .

“Uh huh huh! “This person is Dr. Pyeong, my closest friend, Dr. Liston’s younger brother, and at the same time, doctor!”

“It’s a title that makes me feel guilty calling you my junior!”

Joseph and Alfred began circling me in pairs.

It seemed like he was worried about not being able to say something to the doctor earlier.

Well, one was my best friend and the other was a benefactor who saved my life twice, so it was worth it.

“No, that… … what did i do… … .”

“Hello, this is Liston. I was bitten by a rabid dog. “Even though he looks fine now, there is a chance he could become a critically ill patient, so I plan to look at him separately in my lab.”

“ah… … Dr. Liston… … No, like that… … It’s not possible. Save me… … Help me.”

“We are working hard to do that. The doctor here is young, but his skills are very good, so don’t worry too much. “We are especially good at seeing rabies.”

“that… … .”

Anyway, Emily’s father was reacting quite sensitively.

It’s natural for parents to do this when their child is sick… … .

The shaking of his hands seemed a bit unusual for some reason.

“I guess your father loves you very much.”

So I asked after I left because it was a hospital with no waiting room for guardians, and the answer I got made me a little sad.

“yes… … In fact, her mother and two older sisters passed away early. “If you tell me you’re sick, you’ll be very worried.”

“ah.”

Three people are already dead.

It was just something I said, but somehow it felt like my shoulders got heavier.

I had originally planned to do my best, but from now on, I felt like I would really have to watch over Emily as hard as I could.
