The Treatment Is So Good That the Patients Become Obsessed - The Treatment Is So Good That the Patients Become Obsessed chapter 50

50 – Limited-Time Superstar Pregnancy!

Cotton asked me to help with his wife’s delivery.

Cotton seemed somewhat uneasy.

‘Hmm, giving birth at this time was definitely a very risky business.’

The delivery of a pregnant woman could be a dangerous task that might lead to death if not done properly.

In modern Korea, with the advancement of medicine, the mortality rate of pregnant women during childbirth is as low as 0.01%.

Back in this era, it was around 25%.

In other words, if Roland Viscount had four pregnant women, one of them would definitely die during childbirth.

Causes of death included excessive bleeding, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and infections.

Even though I didn’t listen carefully, I heard that there were single fathers among the men in the village, and some of them lost their wives during childbirth.

So, in this era, pregnancy was indeed a joyful event.

But at the same time, it was also a tense situation.

‘But I’ve never even set foot in an obstetrics and gynecology department.’

Kim Cheolsu had visited once when his older sister gave birth.

But he had never worked as a nurse in an obstetrics and gynecology department.

The burden was heavy!

Oh, by the way, during this era, midwives assisted in childbirth.

They were skilled women who helped during childbirth.

I don’t know who Roland Viscount’s midwife was, but she probably had more experience than me.

“Wouldn’t it be better to leave it to the midwife?”

“I will, but I’m a bit nervous about it…”

Cotton sighed and said.

Even without words, it was clear that he was very worried about his wife’s delivery.

A rather unexpected sight from the usually cool Cotton.

They say married men change a lot when they have children, maybe Cotton was no exception.

Anyway, if I leave it to the midwife, I will feel relieved for now.

Still, it’s not like I’m handling the delivery alone.

I learned about childbirth nursing at nursing school, so I might be able to provide some basic help.

“It might not be perfect since it’s my first time, but I’ll try to help.”

Cotton has done a lot for me, so I’ll help him out.

Cotton, with shining eyes, firmly grasped my hand.

“That’s enough, Mr. Chulsoo.”

The news of Cotton’s wife, Linda’s pregnancy, spread like wildfire in the Count Roland’s estate!

Truly, Linda was a star in her own right.

When Linda walked slowly, holding her lower abdomen, people around showed interest.

Indeed, when a pregnant woman appears, people become cautious, advising her to be careful, not to expose herself to the cold wind.

It’s natural for people to want to give advice.

The villagers wagged their tongues, giving their advice.

“Pregnant women shouldn’t casually go outside, they’ll be cursed. If bored, pray fervently at home. If you pray earnestly for 100 days, an outstanding son will be born.”

“Make sure to eat regularly.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

Even though it was tough, Linda responded promptly to the villagers’ advice!

Satisfaction gleamed in the eyes of the villagers.

Indeed, it feels good when the other party follows the advice I give.

It can be a bit burdensome for the listener.

But once the advice is followed, it feels like a favor has been bestowed.

Seeing Linda enduring the advice, I didn’t say much.

Inside the clinic, the news of Linda’s pregnancy caused a stir.

“Linda is 25. I’m 19. Linda is 6 years older than me, Kim Chulsoo.”

Miss Catherine said, looking out the clinic window.

Outside the window, the limited-time celebrity Linda, surrounded by people, was struggling to interact with them.

“I wonder if I’ll get this much attention if I get pregnant?”

“Well… wouldn’t you?”

Since news of childbearing is scarce in Count Roland’s estate.

Miss Catherine said sharply, as if accusing me.

“Put in some effort, Kim Chulsoo.”

“Uh, Miss?”

I heard a sigh.

It seemed like Miss Catherine was suggesting I should hurry up and marry her to have a child!

To the 30-year-old bachelor Kim Chulsoo, things were moving fast.

“Shouldn’t becoming a bishop come first?”

“So, work hard in your training.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Even though I mumbled an excuse about working hard right now…

I swallowed my words.

Honestly, if I become a bishop, I could marry her right away.

It was clearly my issue.

Sigh.

I raised my sacred power.

Now, the torch that almost completely covers my hand is quite large!

In the spare time, I diligently train in the sea of light.

Father James from the parish looked at me in astonishment at my growth speed.

Even if he doesn’t know, this Kim Chul-soo could become a bishop in about 2 to 3 years, right?

Miss Catherine adjusted her taste and looked down at the sacred power I had raised.

“Should I just make up a story…”

I heard something dangerous.

It was about 2 months later that Linda came to our clinic.

By then, people’s interest in Linda had started to wane.

Linda, adorned with all sorts of Urugu symbols said to be good for the fetus, seemed somewhat anxious.

“Ah, lately, I’ve been talking loudly to my husband. I don’t even realize it. I came here wondering if I might have been cursed related to mental health.”

Linda complained about pregnancy stress.

Jessica and Miss Catherine, both women, wanted to give advice, but I shook my head.

Linda came all the way to the clinic, so I had to explain properly!

“It’s not a curse, Linda. Your emotions have just become more sensitive.”

During pregnancy, massive amounts of pregnancy hormones are secreted, causing a severe hormonal imbalance in the pregnant woman’s body.

Hormones are the ones that control human emotions.

As these hormones become imbalanced, Linda experiences emotional instability and feelings of depression.

“In simple terms, it’s a natural symptom during pregnancy.”

“Ah, I don’t want to talk loudly to my husband. I didn’t do this before pregnancy… Sometimes I wonder if I did pregnancy in vain.”

“Ah, don’t say that. How much of a blessing a child is to a family.”

“…I know, but.”

“You have to relax, keep a calm mind. Sleep well and rest well. Linda. Eat vegetables and seasonal fruits.”

“Will that be enough? I already rest a lot.”

“Exercise would be good too.”

“Exercise? Can I exercise?”

“Yes. Intense exercise is not recommended, but there are exercises specifically for pregnant women!”

Linda showed interest in exercising, so I quickly recalled pregnancy exercises from memory!

“First, it’s the candle blowing breathing exercise. It’s a simple breathing exercise, where you repeatedly exhale and inhale to tense the abdominal muscles. It’s good for increasing lung capacity. Next is the pelvic tilt exercise. Lie down straight and lift only your pelvis towards the sky, then lower it. It will help reduce back pain.”

I taught her many more exercises besides that!

Simple exercises improve blood circulation.

By exercising, Linda’s feelings of depression and sensitivity may improve.

Linda opened her eyes wide and nodded.

“Oh… sounds good. I’ll give it a try.”

The next day, Linda said she felt somewhat better after exercising and expressed her gratitude to me!

“I didn’t yell at my husband yesterday. Exercise is good, thank you. If there’s anything else good for pregnancy, please let me know.”

Sitting carefully on the clinic chair, Linda showed interest in my management methods.

I told Linda everything I knew as it came to mind!

“Hmm, of course. Linda, wear loose and thick clothes that are comfortable to live in, rather than tight-fitting ones. We have some herbs in our herbal storage, I’ll give you that. The herbal scent will help calm your mind.”

“Oh… thank you. But I should pay for the herbs…”

“You’ve done a lot for Cotton, just take it.”

“…Seems like your husband is doing well outside.”

Linda smiled lightly, revealing her affection for Cotton.

Even if she scolded Cotton loudly, she still seemed like a loving husband.

Phew! Has Kim Cheol-soo really kept a household?

Linda, who looked anxious yesterday, seemed much better now.

Of course, there’s still some time left until the childbirth.

I set Linda’s due date for childbirth.

Based on Linda’s last menstrual period, she was 22 weeks pregnant now.

Usually, the time for childbirth is around 37 to 41 weeks after pregnancy.

So, there are roughly 4 months left until childbirth.

“Stay strong for the next 4 months, Linda.”

“Yes. Please help me when the time comes.”

Linda listened to Cotton and knew that I would help during childbirth.

Well, most of the childbirth work will be done by the midwife.

I suppose my role will be more of a supportive one?

Honestly, I hope Linda will have a smooth delivery without much help from me.

The front line of the Demon Army (let’s think of it as a battlefield!).

This place, located at the farthest edge of the Larssa Empire, has been the site of battles between demons and humans for several years now.

Countless demons and humans clash here every day.

It’s where knights and mages go to battle.

As it’s such a harsh environment, even the tents pitched here exuded a tense atmosphere.

The blonde-haired warrior, Daisy, was listening to the intelligence of a mage with her index finger on her lips.

It was the intelligence from fellow mage Matteo!

“Daisy, the recent hot topic in Roland Viscount’s territory is the pregnancy of a woman named Linda.”

The intelligence Matteo brought up was about Roland Viscount’s information.

He said it with a serious tone, but Matteo had simply used surveillance magic to eavesdrop on Roland Viscount and relayed the news to Daisy!

It had nothing to do with the war with the demons.

But warrior Daisy was more serious than anyone else.

“We’ve known about Linda’s pregnancy for the past 2 months. Has there been any woman approaching Mr. Kim Cheol-soo recently?”

“No, there hasn’t.”

“Phew.”

Warrior Daisy let out a sigh as she released her finger from her lips.

Daisy, a warrior of the Larssa Empire and an outstanding hero on the battlefield, couldn’t muster the courage to teleport to Roland Viscount due to the intensifying battle.

She wanted to pay her respects to Mr. Kim Cheol-soo right away.

Through the surveillance magic of his colleague mage Mateo, Roland the Count could only hear news about him.

“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo…”

Daisy’s thoughts were desperate for Kim Cheol-soo.
