Episode 440 Nightingale [5]
I really didn’t know.
I never dreamed that Mrs. Nightingale was such a wealthy young lady.
“Ah… …you were born in Italy?”
“Yes, my parents went on a honeymoon to Europe.”
You went on your honeymoon to Europe, so why were you born in Italy?
Isn’t a honeymoon usually a week, or at most two weeks?
I was thinking something like, oh, the 19th century was a bit different, but soon I became confused.
Even though the 19th century was richer than previous eras due to the Industrial Revolution, honeymoons were not common.
In the first place, there aren’t many classes that can travel.
Once you go, unlike in the 21st century, you have to stay for a long time, and not only do you have to spend money when you go, but is there any other class, past or present, that doesn’t have to work for that long?
Also, if you ask if they are nobles and can just play around, that is absolutely not the case.
‘With power comes responsibility.’
First of all, people of the rank of count or higher have a hard time leaving London due to their busy schedule.
Well, I have a villa near London and I enjoy living there to the fullest, and when something comes up I go to Paris, France, but even that is as part of official business.
If you just go out to play, it doesn’t end with you getting cursed at.
I guess I’ve become somewhat of a power broker in London lately.
As I heard stories here and there, I became more and more familiar with how the upper echelons worked, and my questions kept growing.
Nightingale also opened her mouth with an embarrassed smile, as if this was not the first time she had experienced such a reaction.
“That… … I traveled for three years. My sister and I were born during that trip.”
“Huh? A three-year honeymoon?”
“yes.”
“You’re so rich, really.”
“Well… well, he’s rich in his own way. But aren’t you rich too, Professor?”
“I’m the one earning it now, haha.”
I think the best way to accumulate wealth is through inheritance.
Self-made isn’t easy, really.
life…….
really…….
As I was thinking about this, the nightingale began to move her mouth diligently as if she had some kind of feeling.
“But I have no intention of relying on my parents’ influence.”
In short, he admitted that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he was going to act like an independent person. That was it.
what…….
Although he was an odd person, he was by no means a new type of person.
Didn’t I just happen to be a graduate of Taehwa Medical Center?
As it is a hospital run by Taehwa Group, which is not only the best hospital in Korea but also one of the world’s leading conglomerates, for the purpose of contributing to society and ensuring smooth medical treatment for its family and executives, it is only natural that there are quite a few professors who are from the group.
Not only the professors, but also the residents, although not many, had similar opinions, and their words were very similar, so I wonder where they learned them.
-That’s right, my dad is the president of an electronics company. But I haven’t inherited anything yet and (snickers at the X-Philip) I don’t plan on doing so.
-Yeah, really. I’ve gotten this far solely through my own efforts (putting down the BenX key) and I’ll continue to do so.
All I could think was that this was some fucking crazy thing.
Well, it turns out that being a medical school professor is a position where people are selected based on their abilities rather than their reputation.
Comparing it to other subjects is a fair enough position to be sorry.
why?
First of all, there can’t be a group of students who study abroad in medical school.
There is a system called government-funded study abroad, but does that mean poor people can study abroad?
People spend more money on eating, sleeping, and defecating than you might think, but wouldn’t it cost even more in a country where we live well enough to study abroad?
Even if you can somehow pay for your tuition, you will have to earn your own living expenses or receive support.
‘Earning your own living… sounds beautiful. But… .’
I also paid for my living expenses by tutoring during my preparatory course and until my first and second year of college.
Of course, I would be proud of it when I went somewhere and talked about it, but in reality, it didn’t feel like that at all.
It was very difficult.
It was painful to have to take time out of the already tough medical school life to tutor.
But, wouldn’t international students not be able to give private tutoring?
After all, studying abroad is something that only people with decent means can do, unless they are high-ranking officials.
‘It wasn’t fair even for medical schools that didn’t have that… ‘
Professor, there is a saying that teaching is a thing of the past.
In particular, in South Korea, where doctors are beginning to discuss whether it is the best route to go into beauty without becoming a specialist, such talk is even more prevalent.
It was a time when materialism was beginning to take hold, so there were no brakes, but honor was originally given to those who followed a single path despite all this.
It is said that there is an outpouring of praise saying, ‘That person chose something other than money!’
But if you look closely, you can see that the professors at medical schools are increasingly coming from wealthy families.
What this means is that people who don’t really need to earn money become professors.
‘What… … Is there anything I can say?’
Isn’t it natural for people to become uninspired by what they already have?
Besides, I am not my past life self.
I have more now than the friends who used to nag in front of me, but I definitely don’t have less.
So instead of scolding the nightingale, I encouraged her.
‘I already received a donation… … and I think I’ll be able to receive more in the future.’
If you run wild without being able to tell the difference between heaven and earth when you are young, I will be grateful.
I’m not expecting you to have an accident or get in trouble.
The child in front of you may be young, but isn’t he a great person whose name will be remembered for a long time in history?
If you just adjust the direction well, there won’t be a more reliable ally than this.
“Yeah, I’m rooting for you. I think you’ll do well.”
“thank you.”
“So… … I would like you to take on the position of head nurse?”
“Huh? That’s a special privilege… isn’t it? Was there a request?”
It’s cute how he acts sensitively to requests like a child from a wealthy family.
If you think about it… … .
uh?
How can you not do this much with the amount of money you donated?
But Nightingale is too innocent to understand the circumstances of such adults.
I don’t think this part will really change as I get older.
So, risking her life, this rich girl went to the battlefield.
Even though I knew that he didn’t come back completely unharmed and that he would have to spend the rest of his life bedridden due to the aftereffects, I didn’t really feel like saying anything.
“No, no. How could that be?”
“But to a young rookie like me… … .”
“Just between us, the nurses we have now are not formally trained.”
“Huh? Oh… … Well… … It’s not that surprising. But this hospital… … .”
“Yes, that’s the hospital I’m at. But it wasn’t enough. It was hard to teach the doctors. How could I possibly have the energy to take care of the nurses?”
This was the truth.
Not only the nurses, but in fact, other doctors besides our subordinates didn’t have the capacity to care about it.
How could I, a proper doctor, be sane when there were people dying avoidable deaths all around me?
Actually, things haven’t really changed much now.
If anything has changed, it’s me.
I’m trying to say that most things are like that.
If I try to change everything by myself, isn’t it obvious that I’ll die?
Of course, we have some power now, but that doesn’t mean we should try to change things rashly.
‘If you do that, you’ll end up like Mao Zedong, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and so on… ‘
Of course, the difference is that they were going in the wrong direction, but looking at it from the perspective of the current era, isn’t it me who is wrong, not the public?
“I see… … Then I.”
“We have to change everything. Since we can report after taking preemptive measures, we have to change it somehow.”
“Somehow… … ?”
So I decided to hide a little bit back.
Even though the Nightingale was a bit rough, she was ultimately a great person, so even if I act impulsively, I don’t think I’ll be remembered as a villain, right?
I’ll leave the ward to you, Nightingale.
It’s a dispatch.
“Yes, by any means necessary. I will use whatever means and methods necessary.”
“Huh… … I understand. I didn’t realize that you had such a strong determination.”
“hmm.”
Am I mistaken?
Something began to stir along with the madness flowing in his eyes.
I looked back at Liston, who was next to me, just in case, and saw my brother nodding with a face that seemed to know something or the other.
It was a face I had only seen once before.
That’s right, Lincoln, future President of the United States and current wrestling champion… … .
And that was the face Liston had when he faced the only strong man he had ever suggested to fight first.
‘I wonder if I made a mistake?’
I thought that maybe I had let a tiger loose in the ward, but even I knew that it was impossible to put spilt milk back in.
Besides, isn’t it rude to be arrogant towards great people?
Above all… … .
‘He must have sent this guy for a reason.’
I looked up at the sky and meditated on the God I always depend on and follow.
Yeah, where in the world is my will?
That’s what he meant.
What that means is that I am not responsible at all.
Thinking this way, my faith, which had been lacking, suddenly felt recharged and my heart felt much lighter.
Indeed, He is the Lord who carries the burdens of those who are weary and burdened.
“amen.”
“suddenly?”
“A true believer thinks of the Lord even as he walks down the street.”
“Well… … Yeah, that’s better. There’s been some scandalous talk going around these days, and I want to show you to those guys.”
“Is that presumptuous talk?”
“Yes, very… … Huh… … There are words being exchanged that are difficult for believers to even dare to say.”
So I sent off the nightingale and went for a walk to relieve my discomfort, and shouted Amen to the sky. Liston, who was impressed by me, suddenly started blaming the times.
This is usually how people act as they get older, but I was a little worried because this happened to someone who wasn’t even married yet.
I also wondered what on earth was going on that made this person act like this.
Usually, instead of lamenting, he goes and beats them up.
“What are you talking about?”
“Have you ever heard of evolution?”
“huh.”
So I asked and a word I never imagined came out.
‘That’s strange? The Origin of Species… wasn’t that a book that came out in the mid to late 19th century?’
I checked my memory again because it was strange, but it seemed like my memory was intact.
This is an open boast, but wasn’t I a genius who graduated from Taehwa University School of Medicine in my past life?
If your memory is below average, it is impossible to get into medical school in Korea, where competition is fierce.
Well, I don’t know much because I’m not interested in many things, but I do know the knowledge related to the exam relatively accurately.
“I think you’ve heard the gist of it. This is not the time to be doing this. Let’s go.”
“Where?”
“I heard that a guy named Darwin is coming back to the country today. He may not have openly talked about evolution, but there’s no one who doesn’t know that he was the one who inspired it.”
“Uh huh.”
Suddenly, Darwin?
It suddenly felt like I was in 19th century England.
Who would have thought there would be so many people who left their mark on history?
