The Returning Doctor Wanted to Live Quietly - Chapter 367



Only Noblemtl

Episode 367. After the surgery (5)

The fuss was short-lived.

I looked at the case report again.

There were as many as three cases sent by Han Dong-soo.

I had to check it out just in case.

first.

“Silver dermatitis after taking silver nitrate. This is completely similar.”

“This is a story about a patient who took six packets of silver pills every day to quit smoking.”

“Well, the reasons may vary, but you have pigmentation on the back of your hand.”

“There’s no way an office worker could be poisoned by heavy metals. It’s a case that has been confirmed after much difficulty.”

Although it was not exactly the same, it was clearly the same in that high-density granules were observed in the eccrine glands (sweat glands).

Another case confirmed later.

This was also similar.

A patient who took Eundan every day.

I chewed on silver beads from time to time to prevent bad breath.

It’s been so long since then that his face has become discolored, like a patient suspected of elder abuse.

Overall skin color changes.

And blue spots.

The symptoms are completely consistent.

The last is an example of drinking silver ion water.

It was also confirmed that small, round, dark brown silver granules exist in the basement membrane of hair follicles and sweat glands.

Different manifestations from other heavy metal poisoning.

The symptoms were identical to those presented by the patient.

“Let’s start by breaking the manager.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

“Ah, more than that… … .”

“hmm?”

“Don’t like it too much.”

“Why? I already found out the cause.”

“If you think about it, excretion is impossible.”

They say there is no special treatment.

Although the side effects are not as serious as those of cadmium, arsenic, or lead poisoning, silver poisoning can also be called heavy metal poisoning.

Since excretion was impossible, there could be no treatment.

You have to live with skin like that for the rest of your life.

Of course, it would be a little better if you avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.

Germans are said to be rational and accurate.

Hitler’s merciless slaughter and warmongering ways.

And, judging by the support he received, it wasn’t necessarily true, but the head of the emergency medicine department was typical.

Why did you ask Korea?

I feel sick.

What are you doing?

Are you ignoring me?

You could tell just by looking at the fact that he never said anything like that.

This is a completely different reaction from the old farts that can be found in any general hospital.

It could be said to be extremely rational.

If there’s a problem, it’s that he keeps laughing.

It was a face that said he couldn’t understand it at all.

okay.

It could have been.

In what era are we living in that we drink silver ion water and take silver tablets?

Silver ion water has been touted as a panacea since the 1930s, but the United States banned it in the 1960s.

The so-called developed countries have long banned foods and drinks containing silver.

but.

“There are folk remedies in Germany, too. You can think of it as the same in Korea.”

“But still, how can that be… … .”

“Drinking colloidal silver (silver ion water) was popular in the US at the time. Korea is no exception.”

“Are you saying that you take colloidal silver regularly?”

“No, I mainly eat silver nuts.”

“Eundan?”

“Yes, that’s… … .”

The explanation went on for a long time.

For quitting smoking.

Or to get rid of bad breath.

I explained for a long time that Eundan has been popular for a long time.

But he still didn’t believe it.

He even showed me pictures by accessing the internet.

Although the silver content is poor, the film you see in the photo is silver.

He was astonished and asked back at the fact that Eundan was still selling like hot cakes.

“Doesn’t Korea have an agency like FDA?”

“Yes. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety usually takes charge.”

“But why don’t you regulate it?”

Jinhyuk, who had nothing to say, just smiled bitterly.

Come to think of it, the sale of silver ginseng will be banned starting in 2020.

The sudden regulation caused the silver manufacturer to discontinue the product.

I remembered that even though it was replaced with red ginseng silver powder, sales were lower than before.

Just like sprinkling gold dust on food, many people believed that silver itself was good for the body.

* * *

Now it’s time to ask the patient who hasn’t spoken properly until things got to this point.

The patient was startled by Jinhyeok’s explanation and responded.

“I’m sorry. I thought it was good for your health.”

The answer continued for a long time.

The point is that I drank silver ion water, not silver salt.

He said he heard it at a Korean church.

Drinking silver ion water is good for diabetes.

At first, I just rinsed my mouth with salt water instead, but I gradually increased the amount.

He said he even drank it.

The frequent sore throat has disappeared.

Even bad breath has disappeared completely.

It’s so futile when you know the cause.

If it had been revealed earlier, it wouldn’t have been so difficult to turn back. But no one questioned it.

The opponent is a 70-year-old patient classified as elderly.

They are people who believe only what they want to believe and see only what they want to see.

Even when I asked if they had taken herbal medicine, there were no cases where they gave a proper answer.

It is a characteristic of elderly patients that they are not good at talking about what they think is okay.

So, both Jinhyeok and Jang Hyukjun thought so.

Of course, there were things that had to be done immediately.

“I would like to try ICP-MS (mass spectrometry).”

“Let’s start by checking the silver content in the blood.”

“Yes, I think we need to check how addicted he is.”

“That’s, um.”

“I’ll send it to Dr. Christie. I heard she’s doing some analysis with a mass spectrometer.”

Let’s put an end to it with induced pair plasma mass spectrometry.

Silver concentration in blood.

Up to the concentration of silver in skin tissue.

It was clear that it would be revealed soon.

Two hours later.

The results came out immediately.

Silver addiction.

The so-called hermaphroditism was confirmed.

The explanation began again immediately.

Even though there was no special treatment, the guardian kept bowing his head.

“Thank you, teacher. I really appreciate it.”

“No. Thank you for your hard work.”

“No, it’s all thanks to you, teacher.”

A greeting addressed only to oneself.

Jinhyeok glanced at Jang Hyukjun.

Then, the quick-witted man repeatedly thanked Jang Hyuk-jun.

Followed by.

“I will contact the church separately. I will go on Sunday and tell the pastor.”

“yes yes.”

“Would it be difficult for you, the teacher, to come out in person?”

“yes?”

“I think it would be more effective if you speak directly.”

This will be even more convincing to those who blindly believe in folk remedies.

Jinhyuk didn’t answer right away and thought about it for a moment.

An old man who fell down a rice paddy ridge and died while on his way to a Wednesday worship service.

That was the reason he became a doctor himself, but he did not believe in God in the first place.

That damn fatalism.

He was the one who had vowed to fight from the moment his grandfather passed away.

but.

“See you this weekend.”

He nodded heavily, thinking that it was something to prevent further damage.

And that night.

Jinhyuk first wrote an email to Han Dongsu.

A blog that still promotes silver ion water as a panacea.

And I realized that there are many people who consume too much silver.

In Korea, too, we had to prevent additional victims.

Well, I had to say thank you too.

A few days later.

A rib restaurant near Olympic Park.

Han Dong-soo waved his hand.

“Open~! Over here, over here!”

Soon, Jang Seong-man, an associate professor at the Department of Dermatology at Asin Hospital, sat down after slightly raising his hand in response.

Of course, that attitude was very rude.

“Oh my. What’s going on today?”

“Why, what.”

“No surgery? Surgery.”

“No. I’m not the same as I used to be.”

“Why is someone who is not like before causing such a fuss at dawn? It’s just… … .”

“Just something… … .”

“Okay, that’s it. That’s it.”

Jang Seong-man, a classmate of Han Dong-soo, shook his head.

At first, I was on resident duty.

Han Dong-soo, who was once again on back-up duty, was promoted to fellow.

Seriously, there has never been a chaos like this.

Why don’t you know?

How could you not know that there are such cases?

My pride was really hurt.

There has never been a war like this before.

Didn’t he even make it so that he himself, who had gone to Odaesan Recreational Forest, would be contacted?

honey.

“If that’s the case, I’d rather call you directly… … . Very… … .”

Even if you buy me beef, I can’t help but say such things.

That makes sense.

Dermatology, which has little to do with thoracic surgery.

Even if I did, there was nothing I could get in return.

Life is give & take.

Even though they were of the same age, he only caused discontent among his subordinates.

But soon.

“What is this… … .”

He accepted the documents that Han Dong-soo had handed him and put down the chopsticks he was using to eat beef.

Germany, the United States, and even Japan.

It was full of cases of silver addiction.

Jang Seong-man asked back with a trembling expression.

“You were addicted to silver?”

“Oh, right.”

“Who did you send it to?”

“That’s a secret.”

“The secret is freezing to death. What is this?”

“That’s a gift, a gift.”

“what?”

“You’re already getting cursed at. There are many people who look down on you and call you a clicker. You’d be better off raising an issue.”

Han Dong-soo’s explanation continued for a long time.

There are a lot of people who take silver pills to quit smoking.

It wouldn’t have been a problem if you kept to the recommended amount, but since many people ate more than three cans a day, it was better to make it an issue.

Because other countries were all banning it.

“Is this internal medicine related?”

“So? Are you going to just stay still? There are people whose faces have completely changed color like the Smurfs?”

“The image of the dermatologist is in tatters, so why don’t we use this to revamp our image?”

“Uh. Why. You don’t like it? Then give it back.”

“That’s not it.”

Jang Seong-man, who had slapped Han Dong-soo’s hand away, rolled his eyes.

The opening of the skin care market has already caused a sharp decline in the profits of private practices.

He himself had no intention of opening a practice and remained at the general hospital.

It wouldn’t be long before he became a full professor.

so.

“It’s all burnt. Let’s eat quickly.”

He began to eat the beef with a happy expression.

A thoracic surgery classmate who was never of any help to me.

He only contacted me when it was convenient for him, like an enemy, so I wondered what was going on.

But then.

“Uh, uh. Okay. Ah. Professor Jang. Eat alone. I paid the bill!”

Han Dong-soo, who received the call, quickly got up from his seat and left.

That a response has occurred.

It was clear that there was a gap in his health that he had to call her.

Although he was suddenly left alone, Jang Seong-man didn’t feel bad.

Because I received a truly unexpected gift.

He grinned for a long time, not knowing that the information was sent by Lee Jin-hyeok.

* * *

Before we knew it, the birth was imminent.

The day has finally come for ‘CS’ to be born.

In fact, it could be said that the birth was much later than the expected date.

But, well, it is customary for primiparous women to give birth later than their due date.

I thought there was no need to rush.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Do you also attend church services?”

“I’m just going to go and sit down for now.”

Jinhyeok, who had been calming down Hyunah Lee, who was emotionally unstable before giving birth, went straight to the Korean church.

The worship service I attended that way.

I was sitting there without thinking about anything.

But the young couple sitting next to him continued to cry.

Crying quietly and quietly.

I thought other people wouldn’t hear it, but it really bothered me.

Wipe away your tears.

Another young couple wiping.

There must be a story.

No, I just let it go, saying there must be some reason.

So part 1, part 2, part 3.

Everyone attended the service.

I repeatedly explained the situation to church members who were looking for a church.

A crude machine that produces silver ion water.

Throw it away right now.

I’m afraid we’re in big trouble.

The authority of the doctor was tremendous.

The Korean residents who had already heard the rumor nodded their heads repeatedly.

The problem was that the young couple didn’t leave until the third service was over.

The point was that he kept praying and crying quietly.

And then.

“If it’s anencephaly… … . Honey. What should we do?”

Jinhyuk, who overheard their conversation, had to be silently shocked.

He himself is fond of the ‘CS’ that will be born sometime soon.

Sitting right next to me was a couple who were pregnant with anencephaly.
