I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 439

Episode 439 Nightingale [4]

Besides that, there was a huge amount of work that the nurses had to do.

A ‘real’ nurse would actually start by assessing the patient’s condition, explain medication, procedures, and treatments, and follow the doctor’s rounds to check that there is no conflict between the doctor’s plan and the patient’s condition…

This is just a rough outline, so it is no exaggeration to say that nurses are the pillars of the ward.

But what about our nurses now?

In fact, you could say it’s like a ward interior.

“What on earth do you do?”

There is a reason why Liston, who observed what was going on in the ward all night, couldn’t sleep and was so indignant.

It must have been a great shock to him since he had never really paid attention to it before.

Whatever it was, since they were giving me money, I figured they’d be doing something.

But if there’s one thing that’s most important to our nurses’ jobs right now, it’s probably the loudspeaker.

If the doctor mumbles, tell the patient, and if the patient looks like he’s going to die, tell the doctor.

“Well… … I guess you could say there’s almost none. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any.”

“Why? I want to cut them all off.”

“You’re not really going to cut it, are you?”

If it were someone else, I wouldn’t have thought of it like that, but since it was my opponent, I couldn’t help but think of them dancing with swords.

“I don’t cut women.”

“You cut off the limbs.”

“The patient has no gender.”

“oh.”

This is another famous quote.

That was absolutely true.

Originally, he wasn’t particularly good at anything other than swinging a sword, but recently this gentleman has been studying Joseon and has started to speak quite a bit.

But what good is just talking?

We really need to do something.

“Anyway, we can’t do without nurses.”

“why?”

“Our patients are much more ignorant than that.”

“ah.”

At my words, Liston nodded with his mouth wide open.

It would have been difficult to deny.

The perception of the general public in the 19th century was not much different from that of medieval people.

Actually, I heard that there are still a lot of people who complain when told to wash.

In our hospital, there was a rumor going around that you could wash with the holy water that I personally blessed, so people started taking off their clothes to wash with each other, which made things worse… … .

And that’s not all.

If we were to list all the atrocities committed by our patients, it would be endless.

‘Actually, in my past life too… … there were quite a few patients who did strange things.’

There really were so many people who liked and followed folk remedies.

what…….

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

After all, isn’t modern medicine not perfect?

Of course, it is fortunate that we have enough knowledge to say that we can do something, but I think that patients are individuals, and the moment they feel that medicine has given up on them, they end up doing whatever it takes.

‘The person who ate the frog raw is really… … .’

No matter what, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the case of a person with pancreatic cancer who died from sepsis after eating a raw frog, even until the day I die.

But that’s not something to be put here.

Here… … .

‘Why do I keep putting poop on it…?’

Since we live in a world without proper medicine, people keep picking up strange things.

Arsenic, mercury, lead, opium… … .

These days, they even eat cocaine, which I allegedly made.

Among them, the ripple effect of cocaine is truly astonishing.

The cocaine I still knew… … .

I’m not saying this vaguely.

It’s not like I’ve tried it.

I’m talking about cocaine, which you only see in dramas like NaX Course, but anyway, it’s not that pure, so if you suck a small amount, it seems to have an effect almost like a stimulant.

The problem is that it also shows things that shouldn’t be seen, and I think it’s trendy for two reasons.

‘Well, if you touch the mutation, it might feel like ointment, right?’

But as with any medicine, there is an ointment.

They say that when you eat, you start to want to eat something, and surprisingly, the easiest thing to find in 19th century London was poop.

I wonder if there is such a thing, but it is better than applying something else.

They keep applying copper oxide, iron oxide, and other things, but in other words, they are applying rotten metal.

However, that doesn’t mean we can say that it’s okay to change, because there are a lot of people who die from shit poisoning.

“yes…….”

Perhaps the atrocities of the patients that Liston recalled were different from mine.

It is not the case that there are two types of atrocities.

Any doctor with common sense can probably think of ten atrocities.

really…….

Oh my.

“That’s why nurses are necessary. It’s a great job not to do something, but to prevent something from being done.”

“When I hear that, it seems like you’re already doing what you have to do?”

“No, should we be satisfied with that?”

“That won’t do. Aren’t we the leaders of this era?”

“Yes.”

“But it’s not something we can stand guard over every day. Besides, isn’t the order of women supposed to be theirs?”

If you thought that was an anachronistic statement, you may or may not be right.

That’s because the word ‘woman’ is a perfect fit if you replace it with the word ‘nurse’.

Even in the 21st century, the hierarchy among nurses is determined by nurses.

What if the doctor overworks the nurse?

Then, the head nurse immediately casts a spell to summon the professor, and the professor punishes the doctor for invading someone else’s territory.

If you are a proper doctor, I think it is more vicious, but it is right to report the nurse’s mistake to the head nurse.

‘Well, it’s the 19th century, so you can say that.’

And in this day and age, all nurses are women, so it’s not exactly wrong to say that.

The problem was that there was no one here who was qualified to be a nurse, and if you were too picky, they might run off to another hospital or change jobs altogether.

If you ask how that can be, since nursing is a kind of professional profession, it is because you have too modern a viewpoint.

If you exaggerate a bit and say, “From today, you are a nurse at our hospital,” it means that it was the 19th century when you could become a nurse, and that means that the value of the profession is not that high.

Well, our hospital pays a fair amount of money, so even if you try to get it done here, it won’t go anywhere else, but my concern wasn’t that, but whether there was someone who could do it properly.

“There is a suitable candidate for the job.”

But then suddenly, that person fell from the sky.

And that too at legendary rank.

“Really? Who? Oh, you mean that wild girl I saw before?”

“Yes, a rough… … girl.”

I don’t think she’s a girl.

The definition is correct in terms of age and gender, but the image is not correct at all, right?

Rather, it seems like a warrior would be more appropriate.

I wonder who the parents were that women of this era grew up like that.

It’s not that it isn’t, it’s a really oppressive time.

Even the clever Brontë sisters grew up practically locked up.

It’s fortunate that my father is single. If my mother had been alive and well, I would have suffered terribly day and night.

Of course, it would be right to say that not having a mother is a misfortune.

“You’re a bit young… … Can you do it?”

“I think you can do it.”

“Well, they just threw the kids around.”

“Yes, he is a very strong person. In addition, I think he was greatly influenced by my teachings.”

“Where did you study to learn our teachings?”

“that…….”

Come to think of it, I decided to select someone but I didn’t even ask about it.

That’s only natural.

Because the opponent was none other than the nightingale.

But since Liston was a Murim person and not a future person, he couldn’t understand my logic.

“No, what the hell are you doing?”

“thing…….”

“Do we really have to do it this way? We are civilized people… … Do you like it?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“No. If you made such an irrational choice… … I didn’t know your tastes… … No, no. And when I see you being friendly with me among so many people, you must be a strong and powerful person… … Huh.”

However, that does not mean that he was making rational inferences appropriate for the current times.

The crazy guy suddenly started linking me and the nightingale.

I am young, but the nightingale is also young, and this is… … .

‘Well, considering the times… … she’s not that young after all.’

The 19th century was not a time of obsession with sexuality.

We must always keep in mind that we live in an era where the average life expectancy is just over forty.

What if the average age of marriage in Korea goes to 30?

So, what this means is that a parent can go to the hospital when the child is just starting to walk.

Well, even in this day and age, people who live long live long, but most people don’t.

You might say that because so many people die as children, this is lowering the average life expectancy, but if people can’t even prevent deaths in children, how can they prevent deaths in adults?

“No, no, really.”

“Hmm… … But you hired someone who doesn’t even know the basics? And to the highest position in the ward? Do you think our nurses would be convinced?”

“hmm.”

“The territoriality is no joke. I get it… … but it’s not normal, right? So even if it’s not necessarily true, it’s better to insist that it is.”

“Usually, when the wife of a high-ranking person comes like that, isn’t it even more annoying?”

“No one is as tall as they are. If the director’s wife comes like that, I don’t think there would be a woman with the guts to dare touch your lover.”

Liston’s words brought back my own image to mind.

Yeah, well… … .

It would be absurd for His Majesty the King to do something against me, who has given me not one but many tricks.

“Then should we just spread the rumor like that?”

“This… … is really disgusting.”

“No, that’s not it. I really want to be a nightingale for her… … .”

“Don’t be a jerk.”

No, it’s really unfair.

I have never once satisfied my own selfish desires… … .

How can you look at me like this?

Although I… … .

uh?

Now, I have become a person who neither wears nor puts in my mouth anything that is not a luxury item, but this is all a favor bestowed upon me by heaven, moved by my noble intentions.

“Ah… … Congressman.”

“My daughter wanted to come here… …so I came to see how the nurses were treated.”

“Yes, yes. Take your time and look around.”

To cut to the chase, all the talking Liston and I did for so long was pointless.

nightingale.

The great woman who spent the rest of her life bedridden after fighting in the Crimean War was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

It’s not just a family with a lot of money, but also a family with some power.

“I’ll donate some money. The decorations here are a bit… … .”

“That’s a good thing.”

“I know you don’t want to call me a substitute, but where exactly is my daughter’s position here?”

“I am the head nurse. I am the king of nurses.”

“Heh heh.”

I saw it.

In the meantime, one more zero has been added to the donation amount.
