I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 456

Episode 456: Reckless Challenge [1]

heart…….

This is seriously scary.

This happened when I was a resident.

-Hey, are you on duty?

-Uh, why.

-I have to go see the gifts, and our department has a shift too… … You just live there. Call me if anything comes up.

-Ah… … Melona when you come.

In my time, there were no laws regarding majors, so we worked more than 100 hours a week, not 88 hours.

If you say 100 hours a week, you might think it would be hell, but honestly, it wasn’t always like that.

Could you call it romantic?

Ah, after having a drink, tidying up the patients, hearing their thanks, and sending them up to the ward, my vital energy levels soared.

Even so, doctors may say, “What is mulberry?”, but if they ever experience a dying patient being brought back to life by my hands, they will probably understand.

It’s hard to describe that feeling in words.

Of course, the opposite case is similar, but those who feel it more strongly, I’m sorry, but they don’t have the ‘talent’ to work in the vital science department, so they are immediately eliminated.

-Hey… I can’t go out. I can’t even see the gift.

-What are you talking about?

The friend in this memory also had no talent.

He’s the guy who ran away right after seeing Table Death. He applied to the ENT department because he wanted to get surgery.

It seems to me to be a bit of a mistake.

The ENT department at Taehwa Medical Center has traditionally been very strict with head and neck surgery.

All cancers that occur on the face and neck are operated on there, but because of the location, it doesn’t end with excision, but requires reconstruction. I hate to admit it, but it is the most difficult surgery of all surgeries.

-My patient has a myocardial infarction.

-Yeah… Didn’t you just say that after seeing everything? You said it was okay?

-I don’t know. The electrocardiogram is different from yesterday, so I’m going to the internal medicine department… … Oh, my patient is going to get a cardiovascular angiogram right now. If you have time, I’ll have a sausage. I’ll have some rice.

-Ha, this idiot… … .

So, two of the seats in the surgical intensive care unit were occupied by ENT patients, so what were they going to do?

I don’t usually go to the intensive care unit at all.

When I was a student, I’m sure he was smarter than me, but for a doctor, what he learned during training is much more important.

When I went there and looked, the electrocardiogram showed myocardial infarction even when viewed upside down.

‘The point is, even 21st century doctors don’t know anything about the heart if they’re not familiar with it… That’s what I’m saying.’

This is not the time to laugh at your friends.

I’m about to do something worse than that guy.

“Your face doesn’t look good.”

“Of course it’s not good. How can I perform heart surgery?”

“You did it, right?”

“No, that’s… … .”

To be honest, I got pericardial tamponade… … .

Is the wound on the outside that was stitched up the same as the case this guy brought in?

Oh, that’s what I mean. You really shouldn’t go in front of that person and say this and that.

If you look closely, he’s not even that guy.

She’s a woman.

“That’s the heart shell. Is it like cutting it inside?”

“No matter what… isn’t it too late? I thought you were already coming.”

“No… … In an age without telephones, how can rumors spread so quickly?”

“huh?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Are you just a girl?

If that were the case, would I be worried?

I know it’s not something a doctor should be saying, but this is the 19th century.

This is an era where there are more cases of people going wrong during surgery than cases where things go right.

This is my opinion, but there is a phrase that says, “Abandon hope, ye who pass through this gate.” That should be written on the front gate of a hospital, not on the gates of hell.

If you come, half of you will die, that’s right.

“Anyway, this is no ordinary case.”

“No… … I told you, you shouldn’t be so excited about something like that?”

“Then you’re not excited? Heart surgery… … Yes, the last surgery was definitely just a shell surgery, just like you said. But this is a proper heart surgery.”

“So, I said it’s a big deal?”

Oh, I didn’t tell you who was coming.

Her name will be Princess Elizabeth.

She is the daughter of George III.

Of course, she is the younger sister of the current King of Great Britain, William IV… … .

“What kind of brothers and sisters do you have, Your Majesty?”

“Aren’t there 15 siblings?”

“15 people… …? You have multiple wives?”

“What are you talking about? It’s Her Royal Highness Queen Charlotte.”

“her…….”

This isn’t at a level where you can say, “This is good, this is bad.”

I’ve never seen it, but I think Queen Charlotte probably wore maternity clothes longer than her regular clothes.

‘She really was a strong woman, and… … .’

Who would have thought I could have 15 children in this crazy time.

It is true that the British Empire was founded by descendants of the Vikings.

There is a reason why they say that the higher the status, the stronger the military power.

Well, that’s why he must have done such bad things while traveling all over the world.

“How old are you?”

“I was born in 1970… … so many now.”

“It’s not that much anymore.”

“But what can I do? The doctor can’t ignore a patient coming from Frankfurt.”

It seems right to turn away patients who come from anywhere and ask for their hearts to be opened.

Same… … .

From what I’ve heard of your symptoms, it certainly sounds like there’s a problem with your valve.

Oh, how did the guy who told me this know? It was all thanks to the TP Youngpyo stethoscope.

Although our British Empire is not yet a country that leads the trends of the European continent like France, I have become somewhat of a celebrity in the medical field at least.

Well… … It’s also because Germans are so meticulous like perverts.

Well, they were using a stethoscope, which was made to listen to whether people were breathing properly, to diagnose arrhythmia and heart valve disease.

“ha…….”

“If you’re so worried, why don’t you practice a little?”

“With a corpse?”

I asked him how they perform heart surgery on a corpse, but Liston averted his eyes.

This kid… … .

“Ah, so that’s what you meant by let’s do it with people.”

“You can’t practice without your heart beating. Can you just do it?”

“So you’re just going to open up a healthy person’s heart? Is that something a person would do?”

“Haha, I never said I would open a healthy heart?”

“Then… … this guy, surely?”

If it were Liston, he’d be the kind of guy who could run to prison right now, break a few hearts with his fists, and then bring them back to be fixed.

and…….

‘If he’s a death row inmate, then there’s nothing wrong with that, right?’

To that extent, I could understand it.

what…….

That’s possible, right?

A death row inmate, oh my god.

How bad does a person have to be to be sentenced to death?

If you can contribute to the advancement of humanity even in the end, maybe the Lord will say, “Okay, pass,” and let you enter heaven.

‘Maybe saying it like this will convince you?’

As I was thinking about this, I felt Liston’s intense gaze.

“You… … You’re not planning on bringing in prisoners, are you?”

When people say, “No, right?”, they tend to want to say, “No.”

Because you can’t help but notice that the other person wants that.

“No, of course not.”

“But why are you making such a vicious face?”

“Me?”

“This kid… … .”

“I said no.”

“Yeah, well… I don’t have the talent to do things like receive calls.”

I never thought the day would come when Liston would be accused of morality.

I feel like the principles of martial arts have fallen to the ground.

Liston continued speaking, not caring about me.

“Did you know that all sorts of things are being diagnosed thanks to the stethoscopes we sell?”

“I know. Most of them are scammers, right?”

“That’s true. I’ve even seen someone who can diagnose a steam engine with a stethoscope.”

“ah.”

I looked at him with a face like ‘Is there such a person?’ but in reality, I don’t think that would be impossible.

That was because when I was in the military, the battalion commander once made a novel and serious remark, “The boiler seems to be broken. Can’t you diagnose it with a stethoscope?”

I think I should have taken it on boldly, but I didn’t have the courage at the time, so I did as I was told.

And diagnosed.

So it worked?

“There are some really great ones among them. You know? That… … What was it called? Oh, right, cardiac rheumatism.”

“Ah… …? Is there such a thing?”

“You… … study a little. Don’t be so proud.”

“No, that’s not it.”

It seems that it wasn’t just me who said, ‘If you do it, it works?’

If you think about it, it’s natural.

Fundamentally, there is no difference in intelligence between 19th century people and 21st century people.

No, it’s the same even if you go back to ancient times, the only difference is that the accumulated knowledge is different.

If there were a wise man of the same era as me who passed down advanced civilization in a timely and chronological manner, it would not be so strange for this kind of progress to occur.

‘Wow, creepy.’

Doesn’t that mean that this is all thanks to me?

I looked up at the sky once again.

There is a saying that God only gives us trials that we can handle.

‘Then you really have great taste.’

When I see that out of all the people, God sent me to this time, I really think, God is God.

“Alone… … What are you doing? Are you receiving another call?”

“Oh, no. I was just praising the Lord.”

“Uh… … For something like that, you had a very arrogant looking face.”

“Everyone has their own circumstances. Anyway, where is the doctor who said something about cardiac rheumatism?”

“I don’t know who first said that, but I know a guy in London who calls himself the first cardiologist.”

“her…….”

Really, really… … .

I think you can be brave because you don’t know anything.

Cardiologist?

Do you know how to do that?

If you go to internal medicine, you first have to complete your residency, get a specialist license, then work as a subspecialist for two years, and then decide whether to go into interventional surgery or ultrasound, and then suffer like crazy for several more years.

If you go to thoracic surgery… … .

Let’s not talk here.

Because tears came out and blocked my vision.

“Where are you, that bastard?”

“Didn’t you think I was great earlier?”

“That’s because you dare to talk about the first cardiologist.”

“Ah… … That. Yeah, we were the first. Do you think he ever stabbed himself in the heart?”

“That can’t be true.”

“Yeah, while I’m at it, I should probably steal that title too.”

Anyway, shouldn’t that arrogant guy be given a proper education?

While I’m at it, I should also find out if what this guy calls cardiac rheumatism is related to the rheumatic fever I know of.

If that’s true… … .

There are probably quite a few people dying because of it.

‘If you think about it, this is a time without antibiotics.’

It can’t be absent.

No, it would be pretty common.

In modern times, diseases that would be treated with, “Oh, my throat hurts. I need to take some medicine,” often lead to death here, and one of them is rheumatic fever.

It was a very scary disease that killed hundreds of thousands of people every year until the 20th century, so it was probably running rampant even in the 19th century, although it was not well diagnosed.
