I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 482



Only Noblemtl

Episode 482 Before Going on a Long Journey [3]

“Let me take a look.”

“Is this okay… … .”

“There is no gender in medicine. Don’t worry.”

“that…….”

In comparison, the director’s wife was not a doctor.

She was a conservative noblewoman of the 19th century.

of course…….

It’s a much more chaotic time than you might think.

Cheating was something I could just let go of.

‘There was even a celebrity whose nickname was ‘Rape Master’… … .’

Colonel Chartris… … .

After earning a lot of money, he sent servants to the countryside to lure innocent and pretty women, brought them home, and raped them…

This resulted in a not guilty verdict.

In the private sector, he was called a rapist to mock him, but would that be punishable?

But on the other hand, there were many truly virtuous people, such as our director’s wife.

“It’s okay. It’s a medical procedure. It needs to be treated quickly. Besides… … This could be the way for our British medical science to advance.”

That’s why the director personally stepped in to persuade them.

I wondered if that was something a couple should say.

While I’m sick, I’d like to contribute…

I thought I would have nothing to say even if I got slapped, but surprisingly, it worked.

I think it’s because even in the West, we still live in an era where the whole is valued much more than the individual.

Well, if you think about it, fascism (totalitarianism) was established in the West, right?

“Yeah… … If I can make the sacrifice to do that.”

“It’s not a sacrifice. He said it would be curable. I’ll have to see for myself to know.”

“Yes, then… … Please, Sir Tiepyeong.”

So I went back to see my wife again.

In fact, since I majored in surgery, I had a lot of experience treating patients’ chests.

The department that treats breast cancer is surgery.

There was even a center that did reconstruction in one go under the surgical department, and that was our center.

This is what I experienced during my residency, but my actual specialty was trauma surgery…

“hmm…….”

No matter what, it’s familiar, that’s what I’m saying.

Maybe his wife felt it too.

I’m saying that it’s not a teasing gesture, but a gesture that examines something.

Maybe that’s why the wife seemed embarrassed at first, but now she was sitting with a more relaxed expression on her face.

In the meantime, I was able to locate the tumor that Nightingale had found.

My wife has fairly large breasts, so I thought it was brave to miss it.

‘Certainly… … great people who leave their names in history are different… … .’

nightingale…….

I thought I should give him something to take care of since I’d have to take care of the entire ward while he was away.

He lived his entire life relying on a sense of mission without any of that, but wouldn’t it be better to add something in return?

Anyway, unfortunately, the tumor found that way did not seem to be benign.

“It’s stuck to the surrounding tissues… … and it’s not separated well. It’s definitely breast cancer.”

“ah.”

“this.”

The director, who had become the guardian in an instant at the word cancer, let out a sigh.

There was no question as to how one could know cancer just by touching it.

Because I already did it once in Paris.

Besides, isn’t the director someone who believes in my reception even more fiercely than Liston?

‘If you believe that, you will believe that the Lord will actually cure cancer… … .’

I think it’s a bit of a convenient belief.

But faith is inherently irrational.

In fact, when you look at survival alone, people trust other people… … .

This doesn’t seem that advantageous.

What on earth does that guy know and believe?

However, people often trust others, perhaps because they are designed that way.

‘There are some people who use that belief to do bad things, though.’

It is easy to see this when looking at the 21st century Republic of Korea, which is being branded a republic of swindlers.

Maybe that’s why there are so many scammers… … .

Voice phishing, mortgage fraud, multi-level marketing, coins… … .

But if we broaden our perspective, we can see that even South Korea was a society built on trust.

Without trust that each professional will do the work that suits them, and trust that cars on the road won’t suddenly veer into the sidewalk, society wouldn’t function.

“Then what should I do?”

“I have to have surgery. There is no other way.”

“I have to cut off my breasts… is that what you mean?”

“Total nephrectomy… … Hmm. That’s something I’ll have to think about.”

Likewise, our hospital cannot run without trust in me.

The amount of trust that each person shows in me varies, but isn’t the director almost at the level of a believer?

It’s only natural when you think about the money I’ve earned so far.

This gentleman has now made more money than the inheritance his ancestors had to leave behind in France.

‘The problem is other people.’

The director is clearly showing blind faith.

Even if the treatment fails, I don’t think I will lose that faith.

but…….

If that happens, other people will never want to get breast cancer treatment.

“Professor Blundell, please tell us what we were talking about before.”

“Uh, uh uh.”

Maybe it’s up to me to try to get it.

But I think that a surgery that only one person can do is ultimately no different from a surgery that no one can do.

Shouldn’t all treatments be universal?

It’s not just my opinion… … .

That’s how 21st century medicine is going.

There is no royalty even for surgical methods or treatment methods.

It is completely free and open to the public at conferences, in papers, and even in books.

“The technology for breast cancer is actually old. It’s been around for hundreds of years, as you know.”

“That’s true. It’s also known as an incurable disease.”

The director nodded with a darkened face at Blundell’s words.

There are more than one or two diseases that cannot be cured, but the reason they do that in particular for breast cancer is because it seems like something could be cut out, but that doesn’t work.

Isn’t it true that things that seem like they’ll work out but don’t actually work out are what really drives people crazy?

“However, there are reports of people surviving a complete mastectomy.”

“They are just inaccurate descriptions. At least in the official records… … there are only cases where Dr. Ping performed surgery in Paris.”

“That’s right. But from a researcher’s perspective, you can only use it as a reference. You can’t just take everything out, right?”

“That’s… … I guess so.”

There are also female prisoners.

However, breast cancer is not a common disease like diabetes.

It is a relatively rare disease, at least in this day and age.

Well, I don’t know if it would be different if I made an ultrasound and diagnosed it…

There are bound to be limits to the areas that can be diagnosed with bare hands.

“If we look at it that way, it certainly seems that a total resection has a better prognosis.”

“I see… … .”

“But before that, there’s something we need to address.”

“What is that?”

“What kind of disease is breast cancer?”

“Ah… … Well, that’s true. Um… … It’s just… … Isn’t it a tumor? Isn’t it?”

This time, I stepped forward after hearing the director’s words.

To begin with, Blundell still lacks the concept of benign and malignant, so this can’t be helped.

This is something that cannot be simply divided into two types.

Some benign tumors remain benign, while others become malignant, and depending on the type, some become malignant quickly while others become malignant slowly.

Even this varies depending on the organization it originated from, and there are often multiple types even if they originated from the same organization.

Just because it’s the same type of tumor doesn’t mean it moves in the same way every time.

It’s divided again within it.

This is why medicine is like X.

“You are right about tumors. Tumors are a general term for lumps that form inside our bodies that were not there before. However, some tumors don’t kill people and just sit there quietly, while others kill people. What is the difference?”

I know.

There are histological differences.

Cancer cells can be thought of as cells whose brakes have broken down.

If the damaged cells continue to divide, even at a rapid rate, what other option is there for the host patient to do but die?

“Um… I don’t know about that. If it grows on the breast, can it kill a person?”

Unfortunately, to realize the simple truth I mentioned, research on very fine units such as telomeres must be conducted.

And that is a truth that was discovered only after the mid-20th century, and the immunological aspect was discovered only in the 21st century.

Considering how quickly and vastly science and technology have advanced over the past 200 years, it would have been absurd to expect something like that in the 19th century.

“It doesn’t matter where it is. Did you see my colonoscopy? Didn’t that diagnose stomach cancer?”

“Ah… … That’s right. Half of them died.”

I’m going to die more.

Cancer has a 5-year survival rate, but now half of the patients are already dead after just one month of surgery.

There is a very high probability that some patients would have lived longer if left alone.

anyway.

“If you look at various reports, it appears on the skin… … It seems like it appears all over the body.”

“Oh my… Is this the Lord’s punishment?”

It’s a bee.

Even after going through the plague, this is what happens.

I don’t know if it would have been possible if only those who didn’t believe in Jesus had been killed at that time…

Half of Britain’s population died, right?

It’s a country where almost 100% of people believe in Jesus.

‘Well… … Even in 21st century Korea, there is a saying called divine punishment.’

Even after committing evil deeds and living a long life, and even after seeing countless people die in luxury, they say such things.

It’s human nature, I guess you shouldn’t expect too much from the 19th century.

So instead of correcting the director, I just talked about malignancy and benignity.

“I have been relying on my reputation to call a lot of cancer patients for the past two weeks. All kinds of patients came. Even many patients with abscesses came, and our disciples treated them.”

“Ah… … Well, I guess civilians would understand it to that extent.”

“Anyway, when I observed it that way, I noticed that this cancer was clearly different from tumors that don’t kill people.”

“which……?”

“First of all, good guys don’t invade other organizations. They are clearly distinguished. Isn’t that right? They must be docile. I don’t know why.”

“Aha… … and?”

“Cancer also bleeds easily. It even rots during the process, and it doesn’t just grow in one place, but spreads to other places.”

In fact, what I am saying now is not a story that was derived from just two weeks of observation.

I’m just reciting what I already knew.

But what always matters is who the messenger is and whether the message is supported by plausible evidence.

From that perspective, I could say that I am the most plausible person in the world.

“Certainly… … It’s exactly as the reviewer said. I think so too. It doesn’t require that much skill. Anyone can tell the difference.”

Blundell intervened with me.

Then the director’s expression became brighter than before.

It must be because I have a feeling that these guys weren’t just accidentally curing patients in Paris.
