Episode 485 Breast Cancer [3]

Just because I’m a prosecutor doesn’t mean I’m doing anything terrible.

It’s not the Middle Ages anymore, is it?

There are still many people who cannot escape from the old teachings, even in science… … .

Didn’t the power of religion that had dominated Europe for a thousand years weaken along with the Black Death, which killed tens of millions in just a few years in the 14th century?

It was also the catalyst that led to the Renaissance’s flowering.

This was possible because, unlike the population decline that South Korea is facing in the 21st century, this population decline occurred without the population structure itself being destroyed.

‘You said the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 was no joke, right?’

As I cut around my wife’s tumor, I thought back to what I had heard before.

It was said that the disaster happened on November 1st, All Saints’ Day.

On the day of the celebrations honoring All Saints Day, a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the city, killing over 50,000 people and destroying 85 percent of Lisbon’s buildings.

Isn’t this a major incident that would make people cry out, “Where on earth is God?”

Because of this, contemporary philosophers in Europe, such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Goethe, vied with each other to express their skepticism about the ‘God who is omnipotent and infinitely good, but who still did not prevent a great earthquake that killed everyone.’

It may seem strange to say that it was thanks to that, but anyway, Europe as a whole became dominated by the Enlightenment.

“Okay… … I’m going to draw some blood. Let’s see how this blood reacts with the patient’s blood.”

“Brother Blundell. You only do surgery.”

“Oh, I see. I didn’t know you were giving me a blood transfusion.”

Britain was no exception.

It was frustratingly slow for me, but it was clear that people were open-minded and willing to accept new knowledge.

Considering that before then, if anything was different from the old teachings, whether it was new knowledge or not, they were unconditionally rejected and even tried to kill or branded them heretics, this is an incredible feat.

At first, I even lamented, wondering why it was the 19th century… … .

If it were before, even this wouldn’t have been possible, that’s what I’m saying.

“Okay, you and you. Hmm… … Who’s younger?”

“I am younger.”

“Okay, then you first.”

“thank you!”

As the surgery progressed, before I knew it, there was a sacrifice, or rather a blood bag, or what should I call it?

So, the blood donor volunteers were selected.

At first glance, he had a young face that made you think he was in his early to mid teens.

Even by 21st century standards, there would be no such thing as child abuse in the world… … .

In the 19th century, by the time you were in your early to mid-teens, you were already a respectable member of society.

Plus, this guy is Jewish.

‘Poor guys.’

It is nearly impossible to fully experience the pain of the diaspora while living in South Korea.

Of course, there must have been a similar feeling during the Japanese colonial period… … .

Even at that time, shouldn’t we view the Korean Peninsula as the land of the Korean people?

In contrast, Jews do not have their own land.

A perpetual stranger.

“Phew… … .”

“Don’t worry too much. You are now part of the Taiping Organization. No one can discriminate against you.”

“thank you.”

Although we have lived in that land for generations, we are still foreigners.

why?

Because our religions are different.

Because their customs are different.

In some ways, you could say that it is a great thing.

Living in a foreign land for nearly two thousand years, they lived by their own teachings.

Even though they suffered much discrimination and persecution because of their teachings.

‘Thanks to you, we can secure very safe blood, so is that a good thing?’

It is also strange to write about their persecution in the past tense.

Of course, they don’t just kill people like they did during the Black Death, saying, “The Jews poisoned the well!”

However, it is difficult to rise to public office, and even if you do rise to the position, it is almost impossible to achieve success.

It is true that as capitalism gradually spreads, the power of Jews who have lived as urban citizens for a thousand years is growing stronger, but because of this, they are also being attacked more.

In fact, it is not difficult to find Jews who become victims of hate crimes.

That’s why you’re desperately asking for my cooperation.

At least within London you’ll have my protection.

In fact, I am also a minority, so I could be persecuted at any time… … .

There is also a calculation that if a connection is made with Jews like this, it will be quite advantageous for Asians to work in Europe or the United States after me.

‘True patriot Kim Tae-pyeong… … .’

Seriously, I only think about the future of humanity and the Republic of Korea, really.

“Phew. My blood pressure is rising.”

Now that the surgery is almost over, the blood supply has finally been connected.

Isn’t it inevitable that blood transfusions will be a cause for concern during this time?

It’s strange to feel relieved when a proper ABO blood type test is completely impossible.

That’s why Alfred breathed a sigh of relief that the transfusion was successful.

On the other side, that is, on the child’s side, there was a nightingale attached to it.

This was because if blood pressure fluctuated or heart rate increased too much, the transfusion had to be stopped.

“Okay… … There’s a tumor here. Now I’ll stop the bleeding and suture it.”

“Yes. How much is left?”

“Huh, 20 minutes. How long has it been?”

“It’s been about an hour now.”

“One hour… Is that okay?”

At my words, Alfred briefly observed the patient’s condition and then nodded.

“Yes, I am fine. There are no noticeable side effects.”

I asked because I thought it would be okay.

In fact, most drug side effects are acute, not delayed.

If it was okay when you first got into it, it’s usually okay, that’s what I’m saying.

Of course, the anesthetics we use are drugs that are difficult to say are safe, so there is nothing good about using them for a long time.

Chiik.

Chiik.

So I also got a heated tweezers and helped stop the bleeding.

This was possible because Colin spread the wound open incredibly well, even dabbing it with gauze to make it easier to find the bleeding part.

If it had been someone else instead of him, I would have had to assist, or Blundell would have had to do it.

Chick.

Profit.

In an age where things like smoke suction were out of the question, the operating room soon began to fill with acrid, oily smoke.

I used to worry that I wouldn’t be able to see anything.

When I actually tried it, that didn’t happen.

That’s because there’s a human body air purifier.

In other words, we are all being purified.

‘It probably isn’t very healthy… … .’

Any air that is exposed to sunlight is bound to contain fine dust.

The consolation is that the London air is worse than it is here, but it’s never better.

No, isn’t that something to be comforted by… …?

“Okay, thread.”

Anyway, the bleeding stopped soon.

There is a little bit of leakage, but I hope it dries on its own.

If we think about every single red blood cell as lipids in the 21st century, the patient may not get better for other reasons.

According to the surgical results compiled by our smart-aleck John Snow, it is best to finish anesthesia within an hour and a half at the most.

Otherwise, there are reports that our precious anesthetics can ruin patients.

“yes.”

“Look carefully, brother.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Luckily, I am a master at suturing.

When you think of surgery, you may think that it only involves rough sutures… … .

It’s not like we open our stomachs and run around all day long.

Also do the chest and neck.

In particular, I had a close friend who was an ENT specialist, so I learned many delicate suturing techniques from him.

This is one of them.

‘Also called American suture.’

This is done by circling the thread inward towards the wound, which minimizes the amount of thread that goes around, making the wound look better.

I don’t know about the stomach, but it’s good to do this for the chest and neck.

No, you can think of it as a suture technique optimized for the chest.

The neck is a joint that moves a lot, whereas the chest is just a lump of flesh.

Since there is no tension to be transmitted, there is no need for a very thin suture.

“her.”

“Isn’t it magical?”

“That’s right. Certainly… … But why don’t you just do this?”

“If you do this, the boat will rip apart.”

“Ah… … So I’m going to die then?”

“Maybe? Oh, but… … No, that’s not it.”

In fact, it is a suture that is also used during cesarean sections.

Because modern medicine is an ever-evolving discipline, it has become possible to take into account scars from cesarean sections.

Since it became possible to cut horizontally along the panty line instead of vertically as before, American slits could also be introduced.

Of course, it is not always possible to do so because the patient’s condition or life is the most important.

Above all, it can only be used if cut horizontally.

Vertical is not allowed.

“No? I think you were about to say something.”

“No, no.”

What I’m saying is that if you give Blundell a lesson now, it could lead to consequences that are really hard to reverse.

As of now, the fire, the tools, and the magician’s abilities are all the same…

In order to perform a safe cesarean section, it is best to just open it wide and take it out, but it is a bit much to just consider the scar and then have both the mother and the baby die.

Our medicine is still far from being able to consider anything other than life and death.

It’s not that it’s half-cooked, but rather that it’s not even cooked yet.

“Umm… … something… … .”

“No. Anyway, can you do this?”

“I think I could do it if I practiced enough.”

“Yes. It is forbidden on the stomach. It can only be done on the chest.”

“How do you know?”

“I tried it.”

“Oh, you tried it. On a prisoner?”

“yes.”

“As expected, you are… … .”

To prevent that from happening, he even falsely accused me.

I’ve been accused of this so many times that now no one even asks if it’s true.

It’s a little disappointing… … .

What can I do?

Originally, the path that a prophet takes was a path full of thorns… … .

‘I am the Ubermensch… … Jesus… … .’

I repeated the magic spell and my mental state was restored.

At the same time, his wife was slowly waking up.

The transfusion was still in progress, and the IV lines we were using were made of stiff metal, making it difficult to move.

Because if you’re not careful, your blood vessels could rupture…

“eww…….”

Our gas is still running low so there is usually chaos.

But I wasn’t worried because I had Liston.

“eww.”

Even a healthy adult would be helpless against him, so how could his wife, who was not an old woman, possibly withstand Liston’s power?

While Liston was holding on like that, Alfred spoke to his wife.

“The surgery went well. Please breathe carefully, as moving around can cause the wound to become worse. Breathe deeply.”

“Whew… … Woof… … .”

Fortunately, his wife was a quiet person.

Soon I was just concentrating on breathing.

For now, I’m alive, that’s what I’m saying.

‘I guess I should probably go to the palace now.’

There are still people left to take care of.

It is the king.

I don’t think he’ll listen to me very well.

Because the goal has already been achieved.
