I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 481



Only Noblemtl

Episode 481 Before Going on a Long Journey [2]

What should people do to live a long and healthy life?

First, you need to know how to live like that.

People in the 21st century know too much about health, but that’s not the case here.

For example, if you say, “If you have a cold, you should drink a lot of water and rest,” people in the 21st century would be bored by the obvious (but it’s true), but here, people would react with, “Wow, really?”

This seems better, but it has the disadvantage of having to explain everything because I can’t figure out where they don’t know.

“Yeah, I know, right?”

“Don’t eat salty food… … Don’t eat spicy food… … Don’t eat sweet food… … So are you telling your mother to live off of British food?”

Moreover, even if you say something obvious, the attitude in which it is accepted is different.

The 21st century may be boring, but here, there are cases where you get angry while thinking, ‘This kid is finally talking about the right thing.’

Of course, there are also reasonable excuses.

“No… … I’m not saying you should only eat British food. It’s not tasty, and it’s not that healthy.”

“Then what do you want me to eat?”

“I told you to just reduce the salt a little bit?”

“Isn’t this guy doing this to save money?”

“No… … Father. How can I save money when I earn so much? I told you this is the way to be healthy. And Mother. Please don’t eat those… … colorful desserts?”

Eat only British food.

This is… … practically equivalent to food torture.

Occasionally, someone pretending to be awake will say, ‘The bad reviews about British food are exaggerated!’… … .

Come and try it, damn it.

Try it!

They say it’s fancy food, but they’re serving cucumber sandwiches, and I’m really going crazy…

“You guys, watch out. When you come back, your parents, especially your mother, show signs of heavy metal poisoning. Then it’s time for an intubation experiment.”

“Hic.”

“yes yes!”

“Yes, is there any chance!”

Well, that may be true, but you still need to correct your diet.

Especially, I have to get rid of all those desserts that my mother has been obsessed with recently… … .

It’s still popular.

That’s because they don’t listen even though I tell them it’s so harmful.

They say that if you eat just a little bit, you can actually be healthier… … .

Common sense tells you that arsenic, lead, and mercury could possibly be good for your health!

‘It is a world where common sense does not apply.’

Even though arsenic was experimented with and prisoners died on death row, it was only successful in reducing arsenic wallpaper and is still being used as a medicine.

At times like this, I sometimes wonder if the person who created me like this is not God, but rather this world is just a simulation.

That doesn’t make sense.

If they were real people, they wouldn’t do that.

“They even force us to exercise.”

“yes!”

Anyway, eating alone is not enough.

You need to eat healthy, eat a little, and move around a bit.

The best exercises are, of course, moderate muscle training and running.

As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter, and in fact, these two are the hardest.

“Pyeong-ah… … Why are you like that? Your father and mother are old now! You should live comfortably and go!”

“He is telling me to live comfortably. The king does the same.”

“ha…….”

“and…….”

“What else is there?”

“That’s why I came to the hospital.”

A healthy diet and exercise are essential to living a healthy life.

But unfortunately, it is not a sufficient condition.

Nevertheless, illness can occur.

There’s a reason why they say life is a game of luck and failure, right?

Living like that simply increases the health area on my turntable.

Whether it’s fate or god, if the dart they throw hits a disease, you just get sick.

“Shouldn’t you have a checkup?”

“Checkup… … ?”

“What are you talking about, again?”

Fortunately, there is still a way.

No matter how fatal the disease is, it can usually be treated if discovered early.

Of course, there are diseases that are difficult to treat.

For example, lung cancer is difficult to detect early even in the 21st century.

This does not mean that there are no symptoms, but that there are cases where they are not discovered even if a screening is conducted in advance.

‘That’s not what I’m trying to do right now… … .’

Trying to do something in the 19th century that couldn’t be done in the 21st century is something only a true sorcerer would do.

In fact, even in 21st century Korea, there are people who rush in (often for a lot of money) claiming that they can cure diseases that mainstream medicine has given up on, and that’s usually what they do.

It’s a scam.

Would I ever cheat my parents?

I’m just trying to do what I can.

It has already been verified.

“First, Mother, please have a brief interview with Nurse Nightingale here.”

“Huh… … ?”

Oh, and just for your information, my mother is not an easy person either.

It would be even stranger if he were born in Joseon in the 19th century and lived in a faraway land called England.

But it seems that my mother also had an epiphany when she saw the nightingale.

“Come this way.”

“Uh… … Okay.”

Originally, it was a way for a puppy or a tiger to act without knowing what fear it was.

The saying goes that the strong recognize each other.

The mother, who had become relatively weak, followed the nightingale to the room next door.

There you will get a breast cancer screening and a cervical cancer screening.

You may ask if it is a cervical cancer screening, but it is simply a matter of taking a tissue sample with a rough brush and examining it under a microscope.

Although the last time I looked at cells under a microscope was when I was a student, at least I can distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells.

-Hey, this guy right now… … .

-Stay still!

Even though the room was somewhat soundproof, it wouldn’t be of much use if you screamed like that.

My father looked at me, perhaps overcome with anxiety as he heard the noise from there.

He had round eyes.

Even so, he didn’t grow that big because he was Asian.

The point is, it didn’t really have an impact on me, living with those guys all day long.

“Okay, then, Father. Stand over there and put your hand on it.”

“On this wall… … ?”

“yes.”

“why?”

“I’m going to get a checkup. It might be a little uncomfortable.”

“There’s nothing you’ve done to me that doesn’t make me uncomfortable… … .”

Anyway, the parents are the biggest problem.

This isn’t just a 19th century thing.

Even in the 21st century, one thing my friends constantly complained about was that their parents were too disobedient.

I did wonder if it was really necessary to do that in front of me, without my parents… … .

Having experienced it myself, I think it was worth it.

“Oh, hold on tight.”

“Uh huh.”

The difference between them and me is that I dare to impose on my parents.

First of all, I am a noble, but my parents are not.

How dare a commoner do what the noble orders?

He came here and joked that he was a nobleman, but no matter how I looked at it, he seemed to have come from a commoner family.

“Stay still!”

“eww.”

If you give an order like this, you can tell just by listening to the words.

The surname ‘Kim’ probably came from crossing the sea.

Being of lowly blood isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Since they are of a bloodline that had to endure physical labor, they are bound to be healthy.

If I had been a real nobleman’s child, I would have contracted tuberculosis as soon as I arrived in London and suffered from it for a long time.

“hmm…….”

“Oh my. This guy. Such a disgrace to his father.”

“What about the numbers? It’s something you feel like as a nobleman or something.”

“Oh my… … The son calls his father a commoner… … .”

“Anyway, it’s okay.”

I quickly checked for testicular cancer and confirmed that his prostate was fine before I let my father go.

Even so, it was only to the extent of moving him from the wall to the operating table.

Usually, lying down makes me feel comfortable, but he looked at me with trembling eyes, wondering if it was my father.

“What, again?”

“First, take a deep breath and sleep.”

“No… … You… … You! You don’t even know the face… … .”

At my words, Alfred ran over and turned on the gas valve.

My father was no pushover, but what can I do when Alfred is there with Joseph?

If you’re of sound mind, what can you do when the gas is running?

I should just sleep.

“Hmm.”

“Pyeong-ah. Is that… …okay?”

Joseph, who had helped put his father to sleep, said with a worried look on his face.

It really wasn’t anything to worry about.

If that was the case, wouldn’t you not have put him to sleep in the first place?

Above all, he wouldn’t have even called his father outside.

“It’s okay. I’ve done it countless times.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“Oh, you’re not going to do it?”

“Yes, I have to.”

I began to carefully insert the long piece of iron into my father’s throat.

It was directed towards the esophagus, not the prayer.

Since I didn’t use muscle relaxants, I was able to do it because I was breathing on my own.

Of course, it wasn’t easy to shove it down the esophagus from the start.

‘My ENT friend was more helpful than I thought.’

There were countless practices.

What my friend told me before was huge.

Since we were on duty together, we often had to go into emergency surgery together.

Since we are an emergency department, we have to stay for several hours once we go in, but emergency ENT cases often end quickly, and one of them was the removal of a foreign body in the esophagus.

This may seem counterintuitive, but I have had patients come in with bones stuck in their esophagus after drinking and swallowing chicken, bones included… …almost every month.

Ji-i-ik.

At that time, I thought, why did you do something like that and cause yourself unnecessary suffering?

Now that I think about it, I’m grateful that there are people like that out there who allow me to do this primitive endoscopy.

Anyway, using the method I saw then, I slowly pushed the tube through the esophagus.

It was filthy dark, but I could still see something when I turned on the light.

‘Probably, early stomach cancer won’t be visible.’

If the cancer had progressed, it would have been visible.

How do you not know? Because I have already had several diagnoses and surgeries done that way.

Due to various limitations, total gastrectomy is the only option, but there are many prisoners who have been given a new life that way.

‘Well, that’s okay.’

If you do this for too long, the pressure from the metal can cause damage to your esophagus or stomach.

It’s a fact I didn’t necessarily want to know.

Should I say that I came to know it as I went along?

That’s why we need to experiment before we actually do anything.

“Okay, that’s it. This is okay… …and it’ll be okay while I’m gone.”

Since the seats were already set up, Joseph’s parents, who had come a long way from Upton, were also examined.

I didn’t hear anything particularly good.

It was okay.

Because the original person is meant to be persecuted.

I decided to just live like Jesus lived.

Because one day, a true peaceful religion will be established, and as a result, a peaceful paradise will come.

“ah.”

While the examination was in progress, there was a report from Nightingale.

The director’s wife, or madam, was found to have a small tumor in her left breast.

“See you soon.”

Since the director is a doctor, instead of being discouraged, he formally requested me for treatment.
