Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 432

Episode 432: A Proper Lecture [1]

There are some things that the director said that are a bit unfair.

If you think about it, it's not like I've never given lectures before.

First of all, I have taken anatomy classes quite a few times.

In the first place, the fact that the kids at our hospital are good at dissections is all thanks to me.

Anatomy is a knowledge that has a great influence on various medical fields, especially surgery, so in a broad sense, it can be said that the fact that our hospital has become good at surgery is all thanks to me.

‘But… …there are limits to teaching step by step like that.’

At that time, my fame wasn't really that great.

It had been a long time since I had been acknowledged by Liston or the director… … .

What the heck is that?

The vast majority of people just treated me like a yellow monkey.

But what about now?

'The best doctor in London, now.'

The reality is that if someone in academia attacks me, they are treated as crazy.

Of course, there are some who criticize me and say that I've just been lucky so far.

I understand.

Because I don't give good explanations in the middle.

But rather than saying it's my fault, it's more correct to see it as simply a limitation of the times.

That's right.

You have no choice but to take some out every now and then.

If you try to make me understand all of this… … .

There really won't be anything you can do.

'Well… it's not like everyone understands my theory, so there aren't any people who snipe at me.'

Who said that?

The pen is mightier than the sword?

Well… … that kind of time may come someday.

In fact, that was the case in 21st century South Korea.

Not only malicious comments, but how many people have died because of malicious articles and reports?

But I think that the reason it was possible at that time was because it was an era where swords could not be used.

'I'm going to die physically, so what can I do?'

However, it is not true that there are no people who run wild without being able to tell the difference between heaven and earth.

I heard that sometimes there are people who dare to curse at me like crazy.

-Should I kill you?

The subordinates came and asked every time.

Well… … Generally speaking, I think it would be helpful for them to die in many ways.

But aside from that, I tend to like stubborn people like that.

-Just leave it.

Maybe it's because I'm Korean.

This is why the independence activists who fought against Japan armed with guns, swords, and inhumanity come to mind.

"Isn't that right? Come to think of it, aren't those kids treating me like a Japanese?"

Should I just kill them all…?

I had a bad feeling for a moment, but then I barely remembered that I was a doctor.

Thanks to that, I was able to put aside distracting thoughts and focus on preparing for the lecture properly.

The medical school curriculum is inherently complex and arduous.

Wasn't it supposed to be a 6-year program in the first place?

It wasn't done just to make it look like you went to school for a long time, and it certainly wasn't done to charge more for tuition.

If a person is going to cut into another person's body and give them medicine, wouldn't he naturally have to study a lot?

'It's impossible to follow all of that.'

To become a proper doctor in the 21st century… … .

There are a lot of qualities that must be acquired.

For example, let's say you're having surgery.

So you need to know how to do surgery, but there's something much more important than that.

It's about deciding what treatment to do.

Even if it is a treatment for the same disease, the treatment method can vary greatly depending on the person's underlying disease, the degree to which the disease has progressed, the response to medication, and the expected life expectancy.

There is no need to go into detail about how the patient's prognosis differs depending on the treatment chosen.

'But the most important thing is to know why… …you are doing that treatment.'

Because, if you don't know the 'why', it becomes impossible to choose what treatment to do.

It is exactly the same as learning basic sciences such as biology and organic chemistry in preparatory courses, and then learning anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and pathology in the first year of medical school before learning clinical science.

But can you do that here?

This is nonsense.

First of all, it won't work for me.

I'm embarrassed to say, but I've forgotten everything now.

If you were to teach it to the general public, it would be okay, but it would be impossible to teach it to people who have to go out and change people.

'There aren't any people who would be willing to learn that seriously in the first place.'

Coming here, I realized that there is a reason why people say ignorance is bliss.

I didn't understand it in my past life.

I used to think that the reason I was so scared when I operated on patients was because I was ignorant.

But… … Coming here, I realized that I was scared because I could at least guess what would happen if the surgery went wrong.

You don't know anything?

Then people will no longer have any hesitation.

In this day and age, it is a reality that a friend who entered medical school yesterday laments, "When will I ever get to use a knife against human flesh?"

In fact, if you look closely, our group is a very slow learner.

The kids from other teams are already doing everything on their own.

The problem is that it's a real knife fight.

'In a tutoring style… …you have to teach only what is necessary to treat patients.'

So naturally, the direction of my lectures began to take a darker direction.

It's a bit sad to say this as I graduated from Taehwa Medical School, but there's nothing I can do about it.

The times… are calling for a sapa.

Let's say that the political party came after the 20th century, after the great war.

Even if I get cursed at later, I'll maximize the number of people I can save right now.

"after……."

“I guess you’re being quite serious this time…….”

“It’s not like I’m getting any extra money anyway, so what’s going on?”

When you say it's a black market, it may seem easy, but it's not like that at all.

If you go officially, it will take a long time, so you are paving the way to make it a little shorter, but how can that be easy?

Now I see that Sapa Gosu is a real Gosu.

The political party is that… … .

All I do is do what everyone else does.

Compared to him, Sapa was a true martial artist who could twist his whole body to achieve the impossible.

“When have I ever failed to do my best to save someone’s life?”

Because of that, I have been working for several days now without being able to leave work.

Liston and Blundell were admiring me for coming out late today.

Are these people staying at the hospital late because they are working? That's not true.

First of all, there is the thick cigarette smoke… … .

No, it would be an exaggeration to say that doctors in this era smoke cigarettes while performing surgery and are just slacking off because of this.

“What kind of card game do you guys play for so long?”

But when I look at the cards and money lying on the table, what… … .

“This was fun.”

"Yeah, you try it too. Have we ever taught you anything bad?"

Because it's bad… … .

What Liston and Blundell told me… … .

Opium, cigarettes, alcohol, leaded wine, heavy metal desserts, etc. If I were to list them all, my mouth would hurt.

Surprisingly, it was all said with good intentions.

Each and every one of them is good for health or something else… … Anyway, isn't there a popular saying that it is helpful to humans?

Among them, cigarettes are particularly mysterious, as many doctors still smoke them in front of patients and even blow on them with pity and a wish for a speedy recovery when they see a wound that seems to be incurable.

So I don't think those who are shamelessly blowing cigarette smoke in my face right now are really trying to insult me.

“It’s gambling…….”

“Is gambling bad?”

“It’s for fun, for fun.”

“Yeah, we’re not suggesting we squander our wealth, are we?”

“Why are you here, Duke?”

“I’m feeling better. You’re a good doctor, haha.”

Of course, it's not just the two of us.

If you want to play card games, you need to have a certain number of cards, right?

My teacher's teacher really liked mahjong, and he said that the hardest thing about mahjong was getting four people together.

I especially remember him saying that as he got older, he became more and more tired because people who liked mahjong kept dying, and he said that he had no joy in life.

'If I keep living like this, I'll never see war again.'

As I thought about that, I sat quietly and watched the person who was turning over his pack of cards.

It was John Conroy, the Duchess of Kent's pillar of honor.

“Why did you come here?”

If you think about it, you could say that he is our enemy.

Because we are obviously on the king's side, and that person is on the other side.

Well… …so far, they haven't shown such an overt confrontation.

To begin with, William IV did not wield his royal power to that extent, and people were also leisurely.

However, it was widely believed that if William IV's health showed even the slightest sign of weakness, he would never hide his ambitions.

“I came to play cards.”

So I asked him bluntly, and he replied as if to say, "Why are you asking such things?"

I looked at the rest of the group in bewilderment, and they were looking at me with bewildered eyes.

“Why are you doing that to someone who came to play cards?”

"I know."

“It seems like you’re angry because I’m working hard at my job.”

“No…… this person…….”

“Haha. Anyone who brings money is a good person.”

“That’s what I mean.”

"haha."

And then he just started hitting me.

Just as I was about to feel resentful, Liston kicked my shin.

It's not really cold.

If Liston is serious, he'll survive even if his legs break.

But it was also true that it hurt quite a bit, so I lowered my head without realizing it.

Then Liston also said, "Oh, my snuff," and bent down under the table, and whispered secretly to me.

'You fool.'

'Huh? Ah.'

Only then could I understand.

Why is no one saying anything even though this human is here?

Who would be a gambler's best friend?

The best friend is the one who comes every day and loses money.

Does that mean John Conroy is here and doing spy stuff?

'He's not a great man… that's for sure.'

Saying this might make me sound like I'm overly obsessed with class, but John Conroy wasn't the type of person who would be able to hang out with the Duchess on equal terms in the first place.

Rather, he can be seen as a pillar of power who enjoys excessive wealth and power while carrying the Duchess on his back.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work. I need to get some fresh air and then get ready again."

“Huh… Still?”

"I'm dying. But I'm definitely getting better. If I just take this class, I'll have fewer accidents."

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“It’s no use saying things like that while handing out cards.”

“Okay, if you understand, then go in, we’re busy.”
