Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 191

More advanced dissection than Episode 191 [3]

“Look here.”

Anyway, everyone was gathered because of me.

The place was empty beside the bodies of nearly a dozen others, although the Montpellier men were there to protect them.

It was even worse than when I was just talking.

why?

That was because there was a performance that only Liston could show.

Knock knock.

Sword Master.

Cutting Master.

This man, who was so skilled at swordsmanship that he could be called anything, showed off his chest muscles.

Oh, I'm not talking about your own, I'm talking about the corpse's.

"oh……."

"and……."

Even if I had shown Liston's, I think the reaction would have been similar.

This is no joke.

Anyway, since both the pectoralis major and minor muscles had been cut, and because it had been done quite meticulously, everyone present had a clear view of the nerves that emerge from the cervical spine and run down the arms.

“If you look closely, there are several of them gathered together… … I still don’t know what each of them is. But… … .”

Liston stopped talking and looked at me.

I did that because I brought you some pretty surprising information.

I know it's a bit embarrassing to say this myself, but I'm a pretty famous and wealthy person now, right?

Even though he doesn't do as many cuts as Liston, he makes money by selling condoms and picking noses.

What are you doing with that money?

They also collect them.

The virtue of Koreans is saving rather than flexing.

Of course, I was writing quite a bit, and I was also supporting the Brontë sisters, but I was also very enthusiastic about collecting materials.

'The Joseon drip may work for Liston, but it doesn't work for other guys.'

Just because you're being fed doesn't mean you're actually being deceived.

So, since I've been doing dissection for quite some time, I looked into it just in case.

It was easier because Britain was promoting the British Empire and creating colonies all over the world, and like a hateful nation, they were stealing everything from the local culture and heritage without any regard for it.

There are quite a few items going to the British Museum, which has been built over 100 years ago… … .

Since I don't have much interest in books or literature, I was able to see things like that even if they were museum collections.

-Do you want to go?

Sometimes, when I got bored, I just sent Liston.

What if the opponent is beyond Liston's physical reach?

-Oh my… Are you going to embarrass me?

There was a sir named Damien.

When I think about it this way, I realize that my connections are no joke.

Anyway, among the materials I found after searching and searching, there was something truly surprising.

What I was thinking was, maybe these European bastards had already discovered radiology and all that, but they just weren't known about it.

“There was a man named Herophilus.”

Liston told me the name of the Greek I had found.

It's easy to say, Greek, he is a person from almost 2000 years ago.

You might wonder how much a person could have done at that time, but surprisingly, he did something amazing.

This person is… … .

He was buried in academia after being accused of performing more than 600 live dissections on death row inmates.

“According to that gentleman’s theory, some of these nerves are motor nerves and some are sensory nerves. They come together and go together, right? So if one strand is cut from above, you lose only one function, whether it’s motor or sensory, but if it’s cut from below, you lose both.”

“Umm… … too radical… … .”

“Who was Herophilus in the first place?”

“He is Greek.”

“Wasn’t there an outstanding anatomist at that time named Galen?”

So the father of anatomy was Galen, as one of the Baggett guys just mentioned.

This man created comparative anatomy because public opinion and religious circles banned human dissection due to backlash against overly strong anatomists at the time, including Herophilus.

The story goes that while dissecting a pig, he came up with the theory that if he were to dissect a human being, it would be like this.

So I did the treatment based on that… … .

Treatment before the Renaissance, when full-scale dissection began again and a proper understanding of the human body began, was bound to be a mess.

'But surprisingly, there are many cases where they are repeating the treatment that was done before. These guys.'

While I was lost in these thoughts, Liston shook his head.

“A man who dissected pigs is the father of anatomy. That perception needs to change now.”

"still……."

“Just listen first.”

"yes."

Then he firmly expressed his opinion.

There was little backlash.

At least that's what it was like up front.

“Now if you look at this… … these three nerve strands are connected and eventually one goes here, one goes here, and one goes here, all the way to the center.”

“That’s definitely true.”

“You’ve done a very detailed job. Do you know all about this road?”

“Haha.”

Liston chuckled at the polite response and continued.

Even if you don't know, I think you might be thinking, "If you know everything, then why don't you know?"

In fact, my disciples here and Blundell all know.

It would be difficult to separate it this finely.

“From here on out, it’s just a guess. The nerves that go to the thumb are probably involved in the movement of the thumb and other fingers. The ones that go to the ring finger are probably the ones on the ring finger side. The ones in the middle are probably used to bend the hand like this.”

“Huh… … Sure enough. It’s heading that way. Hmm… … This is a fairly new theory… … Is this how the nerves connect from above and go down?”

“That’s right.”

“Couldn’t it be the other way around, going upwards?”

“That’s true. Can’t we just cut this out and do it?”

Everyone was silent at Liston's words.

To be honest, I did it because it seemed like it wouldn't be strange even if I just cut it off.

Of course, Liston was a pretty good doctor and his personality was better than average for his time, so he would never have thought of that.

“But if you have this knowledge and see patients who have had such incidents, you will come to understand.”

“Oh, I see. Let’s try that too.”

Instead, he said something very wise.

After that, I showed my blood vessels again.

Arteries and veins.

Contrary to popular belief, arteries are not always red.

Because the blood vessel walls are thick, they appear white.

It's true that the veins look a bit dark.

Anyway, since vascular dissection is easier than nerve dissection, and since I still have more knowledge of anatomy than Liston, I thought he did it like a ghost.

"and……."

“To this extent.”

Haha.

In comparison, our people in Montpellier… … .

It was fortunate that it didn't come out in pieces.

It's tattered, really!

“Okay, then those who said we did well, come to the left. Those who said we did well, come to the right.”

Liston, who was looking down at the scene, smiled as if he was amazed, then quickly gestured to sort the people.

Surprisingly enough, at first there were some guys who wanted to go to the left, just like the Baguette guys.

Not only did he look down on us from the beginning to the end, he even took notes, so aren't you angry and fed up?

“Do you want to get married?”

Liston, who couldn't stand to watch, approached him politely and asked.

“Well, even so.”

“What the hell, you son of a bitch.”

Then, after swearing just once, just one word, he realized that it was unreasonable and turned to the right.

Other people who repented at his appearance were the same.

“Yeah, yeah.”

I looked at those people and laughed heartily, carrying the famous sword I received from Liston on my shoulder.

remain?

The rest of the kids spread out their pockets in front of those standing on the right.

“What is this?”

“Honestly, did you learn well?”

“That’s… … That’s true. Originally, as a place for exchange… … .”

“Exchange? What can we learn from you? You taught us the concept of miasma, you taught us the anatomy… … Even during the cholera outbreak, you saved thousands of people without taking any money. What have you done for us?”

"that……."

The one leading the way there was Joseph.

He must have been pushed by Liston, but he's also well over 170cm.

In addition, since Liston was gradually not using his own sword, he made a spare sword and gave it to his close friends, so Joseph also received a rusty Liston sword.

All knives are scary when they're right in front of you, but the scariest of all is a rusty knife.

Even if there was human blood and oil on that knife?

“Oh, how much?”

“To dare to put a price on human life and knowledge… … how shallow.”

"that."

“You have no sense.”

“Yes, I will give it to you.”

Some of those on the right tried to move to the left, but Liston stood in the middle.

“It’s a voluntary fundraiser, it’s voluntary. If you don’t want to bet, you don’t have to.”

He spoke with a kind face to the person who was just about to walk away.

Then, for some reason, the other person's face turned pale and he started apologizing.

“Yes, yes. I’m sorry!”

“What are you sorry about? Haha.”

After Liston confirmed that the fundraising was going smoothly, he approached the Montpellier men.

The one who seemed to be the highest among the Montpellier men seemed to be starting to get the hang of things.

In fact, you could tell at a glance that these guys were a mess.

I did say I did well, but… … .

With this level of knowledge, cutting is the limit.

Moving on to higher level surgery requires much more sophisticated knowledge and skills.

“I think we won the bet.”

“No… … threatening… … .”

“Threats?”

“The sword!”

“Aren’t you holding a knife too? All the people standing over there are holding knives.”

“A knife this big… … A doctor would never use a knife this big… … Ah.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Liston cut off the leg, which had not yet been dissected.

It would be more accurate to say that they cut it out, leaving only the bones behind, but since it would have taken less than 30 seconds even on a living person, it was only a matter of seconds on a corpse.

“Is this… …Sword Master Liston?”

Only after seeing that did the opponent's knees drop to the ground.

It didn't seem to be just a show of force.

Isn't the important thing to break the heart?

How can we measure the skill of a surgeon in this era?

It's a cut, a cut.

Even if anesthesia becomes widespread, isn't it this year?

Even outside of London, proper anaesthesia has only been available for a month or two.

“How can this be? It’s so clean.”

In that situation, seeing that kind of amputation, it was natural that it would turn out like that.

Even 21st century orthopedic surgeons would probably kneel down if they saw that?

You may be wondering what kind of surgery this is… … .

Anyway, Liston continued speaking while looking down at his opponent's forehead.

“You have to pay the price.”

“What, what’s the price?”

“Didn’t you make a bet?”

“Ah, ah. I’ll give it to you. As much as you want.”

“Not here.”

"yes?"

“Let's go home.”

“Hey, I have a wife and children at home!”

“That went well.”

It may seem like he's quite the villain, but it turns out he wasn't.

It probably means that you are fortunate to have the financial means to raise a family.

It is by no means my intention to use my wife and children as collateral or slaves.

Anyway, we made a lot of money and fame and headed back to London.

It's a city with more terrible memories, but Paris is just as terrible, so I missed it like home, and my heart was pounding.
