I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 475

Episode 475 Progress in the Heart [4]

‘convict?’

The first thing that came to mind was, of course, the prisoner.

There are death row inmates, not just those who did nothing.

Is there a law that says the death penalty must be by hanging?

Wouldn’t it be possible to execute someone by ligating their coronary artery?

‘This… it hurts so bad.’

As anyone who has experienced it knows, the pain caused by a heart attack is excruciating.

The reason why it is less known in terms of pain compared to diseases such as urinary stones is because urinary stones have a lot of people to talk about, whereas myocardial infarction has no survivors.

Even if they were to come back to life, there aren’t many people who would post about it on the Internet.

This is because the age groups in which the disease primarily occurs are different.

But as a doctor, I can tell you that this hurts more.

‘But… … is that okay?’

Bad guys deserve to suffer.

I don’t think anyone can deny this.

but…….

Can you open the heart and grab the coronary artery?

This could be a problem not only for him but also for me.

I’m not saying that it could be a legal issue or anything like that.

Because I’ve been an extra-legal being for a long time, at least in London.

‘Is my mental state okay?’

Even if he’s a bad guy, doesn’t he have a human form?

There is a reason why the saying goes, “How could someone do such a thing wearing human skin?”, but what is inside is the devil itself… … .

The problem is that whatever it is, it looks human.

Can I open that person’s heart with my own hands and kill him?

‘I don’t think it will work.’

Yeah, this seems a bit too far.

In the first place, there is talk in the London Metropolitan Police of moving from a noisy execution to a more polite one, right?

If you think about it, it’s only natural.

It’s the 19th century now.

In Joseon, they may still be continuing a lifestyle similar to the Middle Ages, but not here.

It was a time when steamships floated on the sea and steam locomotives ran on land.

But isn’t it strange that the death penalty is still carried out by hanging, like in the Middle Ages?

-We are not like those French barbarians over there. We are going to start by making poison. I hope that Sir Thiep Young can help us a lot.

-Well, okay. I’ll do my best.

Even our research institute is preparing to bid there.

It’s not cannibalism, so there’s no need for us to compete with each other, right?

Yeah, I think it’s probably best to fold this.

“Instead of the police station… … let’s go to the research lab.”

“Yes, Nari.”

So I turned the carriage around and headed to the lab.

What about the students? Why am I walking around alone?

What can I do with these kids who keep talking nonsense about what is best for me and what is not?

The biggest tragedy is that in the end you have to do something with those kids… … .

In order to do that, you have to show evidence.

‘How have these evidence-loving kids been able to continue to treat people with no evidence until now?’

It was in the 1990s that evidence-based medicine became fully mainstream.

Of course, there had been a consistent atmosphere like that before, but I think it was around that time that the basis for it was finally established based on expert opinions.

I think that more than anything else, it was the influence of globalization that began in earnest in the 1990s.

Someone’s 30 years of experience, 40 years of experience, would have seemed really impressive before.

But after globalization, didn’t millions of doctors from all over the world come together?

What significance would personal experience have had in that situation?

‘Isn’t this racist?’

Experts of this era… … .

I’m the top expert, so why don’t you believe me?

I don’t think it’s too much to worry about.

Discrimination against Asians still exists in the 21st century.

Even in the US, where things are relatively less severe, NPC treatment is rampant, so what about Europe?

They really blatantly give you a seat in the corner of a restaurant and give you cold food.

So then the 19th century… … ?

“hey.”

“Yes, Nari.”

“Do you want to ignore me because I’m a yellow monkey?”

“Huh? Oh my… … Please save me, Nari. I’ve never… … ever thought of something like that!”

I suddenly became curious and asked the groom, and the response was quite enthusiastic.

It’s almost like a twig is shaking.

If you didn’t do anything wrong, then there’s no reason to do this, right?

“hmm.”

“Oh my! This is real!”

That’s right.

Although I have never personally acted in a Korean drama, I have seen quite a few historical dramas.

They say that when they see that, even the guilty person feels wronged.

Very confidently.

But anyone can see that this guy is guilty… … right?

“What… … one?”

As I was thinking about this, a carriage coming from the opposite direction slowly stopped.

When I looked to see who it was, it was the director.

If we go this way, the only place for people like us to go is the research lab… … .

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like the director was the only one in the carriage, but the carriage was rattling, as if it was carrying something heavy.

‘You don’t have to ask… … .’

I thought I knew.

Our director… … .

I feel like I’m touching money these days.

This is 100% cocaine business.

If you ask me if I’m seeing it all, I’m seeing it all.

It’s a force for export.

I’ve been so messy that at least the cocaine produced in our lab is officially banned from distribution within London.

“Ah… … Are you being racist by any chance?”

“Racial discrimination… … ? Oh. Haha, how could that not exist?”

So I answered the question.

Then the director burst into laughter and began to explain.

“Humans are creatures who cannot stand to discriminate against anyone. Look at France, the homeland of my ancestors.”

“Well… … that’s true.”

“After all that nonsense, aren’t you living comfortably with the nobles now? Liberty, equality, fraternity? It’s not even funny.”

“Isn’t this something I should be angry about?”

“huh?”

The director tilted his head for a moment after hearing what I said.

No, not for a moment, but for quite some time.

“No, blocking the road, what… … why.”

“You are a poet.”

“Huh? Ahh.”

It was obvious that the road width was the same as that of downtown London, but with two carriages parked side by side, the road was blocked.

Since the research being done at the research institute is a bit strange, it is located in the East End, but it is also because there are people riding around in carriages no matter what.

But no one said anything.

It’s because of me.

What if I’m cursed?

“There’s someone who discriminates against you?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Is there a reason why you think that way?”

The director was not the type of person to issue a curse himself, so he looked around and saw that everyone was hesitating with frightened expressions, which was unusual for a British person, before continuing.

I gave him a brief explanation of what had happened earlier.

Then the director groaned, “Hmm.”

“So… … the coronary artery? Are you saying that if that gets blocked, people will die?”

“It’s not my opinion, it’s what I’m saying.”

“Don’t you think it’s racist not to listen to that?”

“When someone with authority speaks, everyone listens. Do I have no authority?”

“Because… … Even after saying something like that, aren’t you able to go out and about normally now?”

“yes?”

“Does that make sense? Isn’t that blood vessel a blood vessel that has already been concluded to be useless? There is a similar example, the Tooth of Wisdom.”

“hmm.”

Now that I hear it, it seems to make sense.

Well, there’s a reason Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution at this time.

This is also the time when the concept of vestigial organs is starting to become popular.

In many fields, it is said that we are in an era where people are saying, ‘Humans were not created by God, but evolved from monkeys.’

‘But… … the vestigial organs claimed during this period are rarely acknowledged even in the 21st century.’

Coronary arteries are also vestigial organs at this stage.

If you don’t know the function, it can’t be helped since it was a time when all of these were vestigial organs.

In fact, if you add up all the vestigial organs they talk about, there are almost 90 of them.

Well… … It’s not unreasonable to believe that this is an era in which Lamarck’s theory of use and disuse, as John Snow said, is real.

They say that the giraffe’s long neck is a trait that was passed down to the offspring that grew longer necks in order to survive, right?

It can be seen as a completely different concept from epigenetics, which became popular in the 21st century.

“Hmm. Then maybe I’m overthinking it?”

“Of course. Well, I wouldn’t know if they didn’t know you well… … At least not in the hospital. And the groom! How could this guy do that when he knows how to kill people?”

“Is that so?”

“Is that so? What the hell is that? Look around you.”

I followed the director and looked around.

Then, I noticed people looking at me, cowering in fear.

Can they really discriminate against me?

It can be done, but I think it’s different from the kind of discrimination that people usually think of.

Isn’t that an object of fear?

“Yeah, that’s true. I feel relieved.”

“Yeah, yeah. Oh my, really. I’ll hear all sorts of nonsense.”

When I was convinced, the director tapped me on the shoulder and headed toward the port with a load of cocaine.

If you think about it, it’s kind of strange to feel reassured by what a drug dealer says…

Wasn’t that gentleman considered a true intellectual in 19th century London?

As he was persecuted in France, he can be considered a true intellectual.

You might ask, how can that be a standard? … … .

France is originally like that.

They killed all the great people with their own hands: Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Lavoisier, Georges Danton, Nicolas Lukner, Maximilien de Robespierre, etc.

In other words, most people who are persecuted in France are good people.

“Let’s go again.”

“Yes, yes. Oh my… Please save me.”

“Yeah, you didn’t do it, did you?”

“I won’t do it!”

“Yeah. Hmm.”

Yeah, let’s not kill people.

I’m so scared right now, so what would happen if I opened my heart here and killed people in pain?

I don’t want to become a regular on the history of medicine written by a former doctor who later became a writer.

-Today, Kim Tae-pyeong conducts a human experiment!

-ah.

-Oh.

It’s not right to hear such things from people who are nothing.

“I guess I’ll have to kill a dog.”

So I decided to turn to dogs.

Oh, it’s not that I hate dogs or anything.

I’m also a dog lover.

I think there are people who are worse than dogs.

But isn’t it better to kill a dog than to kill a person?

“Eek.”

I saw the coachman’s shoulders shrink at my words, and thinking about it, I guess it was because the timing of his remark about killing the dog was a bit odd.

“What I mean is, kill dogs instead of people.”

“Eek.”

So I tried to explain, but it wasn’t easy.

The old man just kept trembling more and more.

Prejudice is this scary.

Anyway, I was able to easily obtain a few dogs from the lab.

It was thanks to this that I was always prepared in case something like this happened.

“Let’s go back to the students. Go and do the… … experiment.”

“Eek.”
