I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 476



Only Noblemtl

Episode 476 Progress in the Heart [5]

I called together not only the students, but also Liston and Blundell, who had just finished their surgery and were resting.

Blundell was also blaming himself for his mother’s death.

I thought, “Oh no.”

Obstetrics and gynecology also needs overall improvement… … .

Actually, since it’s a field I don’t know much about, I keep putting it off.

‘Even when I was a student, the hardest part was… … Obstetrics and gynecology… … .’

Men and women are different.

First of all, the anatomical structure is like that.

Because of this, there are some differences when treating trauma.

At that time, I wondered why I had to study this much because I was born differently, but now that I’m here, I can’t believe how fortunate I am.

At least there is almost no need to study anatomy separately.

‘What… this place is miserable.’

Although there have been many improvements now, it is an understatement to say that female anatomy in medieval Europe was atrocious.

I never understood why people said the Middle Ages were the Dark Ages.

I’m also a bit of a nerd, so I’ve only seen videos that say things like, ‘The Middle Ages were the Dark Ages.’

But when I came here, it was indeed a dark age.

First of all, the problem is that the Middle Ages were too heavily dominated by Christianity.

-Huh? Are there no female doctors?

-Did you eat something wrong?

-Haha… … There’s no such example even in Joseon. Look, sir. Women are fundamentally inferior to men.

-Don’t you know hysteria?

This is Liston and Blundell’s answer to a question I once asked.

For reference, both of them were quite open-minded people among 19th century intellectuals.

But the perception is like that.

In the Middle Ages it was even worse.

At that time, women were seen as unclean beings.

Studying was also the exclusive domain of men, especially monks.

Research on medicine was also done by monks, and monks basically don’t know women, right? They shouldn’t know.

‘Wow, I was really dumbfounded after seeing that anatomy.’

If you look at the drawings that claim to be of a female anatomy, it’s just a male genitalia inserted upside down into the body.

He then claimed, ‘When we see such an unbalanced existence, we can see that women are unclean beings.’

“Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No. After this job is over, let’s do something together.”

“Uh… … Yeah, that’s right. But it doesn’t seem like such a good thing… … .”

“Have I ever done something that made a situation worse?”

“I don’t think so… … .”

As I was looking at Blundell with that thought in mind, Blundell spoke to me with a rather daunting expression on his face.

So I patted him on the shoulder and said I’ll see him later.

It may have been different in the old days, but Blundell no longer has any other choice but to join me.

If you feel wronged, why don’t you become a noble too?

Or you could try putting a curse on it.

“Okay, is everyone here?”

“Yes, Professor!”

Anyway, I stood on the demonstration podium.

If you think of it as a space set up to show surgery, dissection, or experiments in front of others, it’s like this.

To put it more simply, it’s just a theater, a theater.

This is a theater that does something special instead of the usual theatrical performances.

‘There are a lot.’

The London Medical School is actually a pretty good place to begin with.

But if you ask me if it was number one, it was definitely not.

If that had been the case in the first place, Nana Joseph wouldn’t have been able to come in.

No, it does come in, but I should have paid more.

Anyway, there were quite a few universities that were in a close race, but now this one is simply number one.

I don’t know about mainland Europe, but at least in London, this is the number one spot.

‘Popularity has definitely increased a lot.’

Of course, most of them are aspiring to become internal medicine doctors.

This is because Hippocrates was primarily an internal medicine physician.

No, for over a thousand years after that, surgery was not considered a medical specialty at all.

The department of surgery was barely able to be readmitted to medical school after performing surgery on Louis XIV’s hemorrhoids.

This is the most elegant way to say it, and to put it vulgarly, it means that you became a doctor by fucking the king’s asshole.

‘Is that why…?’

I heard at an academic conference that even in the 21st century, in England, internal medicine doctors are called “Doctors” and surgery doctors are called “Misters.”

Anyway, it’s typical of people who still maintain the caste system in the 21st century.

The phrase ‘Your grace’ comes from reality, not a historical drama?

Oh, now I am one of them and also Grace, so let’s not criticize anymore.

Besides, all the kids who are flocking in front of me right now are aspiring to be surgeons. Isn’t that about as many as the number of internal medicine departments?

‘Teacher, are you watching…? Here is a world where surgery is not looked down on.’

This is a task that has not been accomplished even in 21st century South Korea.

In fact, it is not easy for surgery to be more popular than internal medicine.

Internal medicine is a department that turns heads and opens its mouths, but we actually have to do the work, right?

If I say it this way, it may seem like internal medicine is a popular department, but in reality, it is hand in hand with other departments that are becoming unpopular.

Surgery is much faster, so internal medicine is also slowly coming along, that’s what I’m saying.

“Come on, bring her.”

“yes!”

But this is a completely different world.

This is a world where when you say doctor, the only things that come to mind are internal medicine and surgery.

Although he seems like a butcher who catches people, he is a doctor… … .

Nevertheless, anyway, yes.

“Ugh.”

At my words, my assistants brought two dogs.

I heard they were abandoned kids in the East End.

Maybe it’s because I’ve done so many dog ​​experiments, but I tremble like a dog in front of a dog trader.

Actually, I peed in the carriage earlier.

‘That’s right.’

I wondered if it would be better to kill people than to kill children who can’t speak.

But people are people and dogs are dogs.

I was already thinking that we should gradually reduce human experiments.

Of course, I know that history won’t flow that way just because I think this way.

Human experiments weren’t limited to Unit 731 (Maruta) and Auschwitz.

Even the United States, which prided itself on being the guardian of freedom in the 20th century and in many ways appeared to be, conducted quite a few human experiments on its own citizens.

‘Yeah… … We have to stop that from happening.’

I pulled myself together, but I couldn’t help feeling sorry.

In many ways, the history of medicine seems to be a history of piling blood upon blood.

People living in the 21st century must live with gratitude.

Because all the treatments they take for granted are made possible through someone’s sacrifice.

“No anesthesia.”

“yes.”

At my words, Alfred turned the gas valve.

It was after putting on a mask made specifically for dogs.

The dog struggled as if it sensed its fate, but it was no use.

It was because the capacity was high as it was not intended to wake up in the first place.

“Ugh… … .”

In just a few seconds, the dog became quiet.

Then, under Alfred’s guidance, several other students tied the dog’s limbs and secured it on an operating table set up on the demonstration platform.

Well… … It didn’t look like it would move even if I didn’t fix it in place.

Because I felt like I would lose my mind if I just smelled a little bit of it.

“knife.”

“yes.”

Anyway, I opened the dog’s chest with Colin.

It seems that dog bones are thinner than human bones, so they open easily.

Even so, it’s still not as good as what Liston did, but whatever.

I searched through that open chest to find the heart.

What’s really amazing every time I open it is that mammals all look the same.

There is a heart and lungs on both sides.

The aorta emerges above the heart, and the coronary arteries emerge from the aorta.

“Now, this is the coronary artery. You all know it, right? If you can’t see it, come closer and take a look.”

Usually in Korea, if you say this, a few kids in the front will just hang around and leave.

However, you can just assume that all the passionate kids in the British Empire are coming out.

In no time, the stage became a flea market.

“I think this blood vessel is the one that supplies blood to the heart.”

“to?”

“no way…….”

“I don’t think that’s true, seeing as John was talking about the Yong-Bul-Yong theory earlier.”

There are many young ones among them.

Why didn’t Darwin go to Edinburgh Medical School at the age of 15?

You may wonder if it’s okay for teenagers to go to college, but in an era where the average life expectancy is only in the 40s, it’s the right thing to do.

In 21st century Korea, people enter society after the age of 30. So, you should go when you feel like, ‘Wow, I now know what social life is.’

Well, it’s impossible to become an adult at a young age.

Culture, customs, bullshit, and hormones don’t let people be like that.

“In order for the theory of use and disuse to be established, it must first be proven whether it is actually used or not. Look carefully.”

I just severed the dog’s coronary artery.

I intentionally turned my gaze towards the face of the student who had just asked the question.

“Ugh, whoop!”

The dog was healthy, so its blood pressure was fairly normal.

Moreover, the coronary arteries are very thin, so blood travels far away.

The guy’s face was covered in blood, that’s what I’m saying.

If it were South Korea, I would have probably been sued for assault or something.

but…….

“ha ha ha!”

“You were being a troublemaker!”

“There’s an idiot here!”

Here we just burst out in laughter.

Even the guy who got hit was laughing.

“Okay, let’s stop the bleeding… … .”

Anyway, isn’t the purpose of this show to spray blood on that guy’s face?

So I tied off the blood vessel naked.

And then he continued.

“This dog is going to die because his heart has stopped beating.”

“no…….”

“Blood flows to the heart, right?”

“Just look at it.”

“Hmm.”

“Umm… … .”

For reference, what I just tied is the left coronary artery.

This is the main branch, but the blood doesn’t go there?

Then, it only takes a few minutes for a person or a dog to die.

“Oh, oh, oh.”

And then, in an instant, an excruciating pain strikes.

The dog shivered for a moment, even though the anesthetic gas was leaking out.

Liston was more surprised than anyone else.

Since I perform a lot of surgeries, I can’t help but know what it’s like to be under anesthesia.

“The pain… … ?”

If you make a mistake when amputating a rotten leg or arm, such as accidentally placing the knife on a swollen area, this could happen.

That really hurts.

Of course, even if something like that happened, Liston could just catch it and strike it down, but inexperienced beginners would often panic and end up killing the patient.

If we call it anesthesia, we can say that the limitations of the era are anesthesia gas and ether.

“uh…….”

“My heart… … .”

After the dog shivered like that, its heart started beating fast for a while.

It wasn’t very good, but I ran anyway.

But in the end, it stayed at the level of a ripple and soon stopped.

So, what you’re saying is that the dog died.

“really……?”

“If a coronary artery is blocked, a person dies?”

“Ugh… … .”

While the students were milling about, Liston opened his mouth.

“No, wait a minute.”

I don’t mean to sound stupid.

“Well, as you know, the academy is conservative.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I think that’s why you brought two dogs… … Is that right?”

“Yes, that’s right. We won’t touch the coronary artery of that dog. Instead, we’ll anesthetize it with the same amount of gas and open its chest.”

“Okay, if that doesn’t happen, we’ll all be your witnesses.”

Rather, advice came from someone who knew this era all too well.
