Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 237

Episode 237: Why is my nose like this [1]

“Random… …?”

What would Liston know, to be honest?

I know I'm going to get in big trouble for saying this, but anyway, it's foolish to discuss things like Liston and titles.

Of all the people I know, the one who would know me best is Sir Damien… … .

What if I go to Your Majesty the Duke and people start talking about my title?

What would happen if I said something like this… … .

It seems like you're asking for something, but it doesn't seem like a pure consultation.

“Yes, Director. What should I do?”

“I won’t say, ‘How on earth did you hear this?’”

So we came to see the director.

The director said, “Oh my, oh my,” and then patted Liston on the shoulder.

I never meant to be proud.

Because I knocked so hard that it made a popping sound.

Of course, I was a little confused because Liston didn't show any sign of being in pain, but it became clear after I heard that he didn't even want to know.

I was worried that I would just leave like that, but luckily, I've become quite an important person in this hospital.

“Professor’s comments. It is true that your… … position is rising tremendously.”

As such, the director continued speaking with a serious expression.

Even the world's greatest Liston remained quiet at this time.

It seemed like something had happened between them.

Well, even if that wasn't the case, the director was a pretty trustworthy person in these situations.

If he had not been a wise man, would he have been able to come this far, even though he was not from a very good background?

We just listened to him quietly.

“Actually, I didn’t say it properly, but since the anesthesia, many places have already shown interest in you. Not all of them were friendly… … There were many hostile ones. Well, I guess that’s how it is. Because you are of different races.”

“I understand.”

“Thank you for saying so. I’ve blocked a lot of things on my own. Well, since you were always with Liston, it would have been difficult to physically harm him. Fortunately, you operated on Sir Damien almost immediately after that. It also caught the princess’s attention. That way, I don’t have to worry about harming him anymore.”

“Good.”

At least they added some flair to it.

Maybe it's because I'm a Confucian man, but when an adult talks and I stay silent, I feel a little sorry.

I was worried that people might dislike me because our culture is different, but it seems like there are no adults who dislike me because I am polite.

Look at this.

The way you look at Liston is different from when you look at me.

“Ugh.”

The director sighed as he looked at Liston and continued speaking.

“This time it’s diabetes. Diabetes… … Well, there are some among the prisoners, but they’re all either big shots or just some guys in gangs.”

“Ah… … . Yes. I heard that.”

“Yeah, I think you’re really great too. I heard you’re not that good at fighting, but you’re thinking of making those guys drink urine… … Anyway, most diabetics among the general public are pretty good people.”

“Hmm. I guess so.”

I nodded my head over and over.

It was partly to show off, but it was more because I actually sympathized with it.

It was only in the 21st century that diabetes became a disease that more often occurred in people who did not have much money, but wasn't it a disease of the rich for most of human history?

In Joseon, it was a disease that only the nobles and the royal family suffered from, and was far from commoners.

Well… … Joseon was a barren land and there were so many people who starved to death, so in a way, it’s only natural.

Of course, it is the 19th century now, and it is a time when much prosperity has been achieved through the Industrial Revolution, but isn't it a time when it is not distributed equally, or when there is not even an attempt to do so?

I'm telling you, Marx wasn't blackened for nothing.

Communists don't just appear spontaneously.

“Your reputation will start to spread among them. No, it has already been widely known. If the Prime Minister actually said that… … it would say everything.”

“Well, then, will you accept the title?”

That doesn't mean I'm going to become a communist.

Haven't I already seen the future?

Their empty equality fails.

Isn't it because humans are designed to do nothing if they are given equal distribution regardless of effort, hardship, or talent?

What a coincidence in that situation.

A member of the British Empire?

Hereditary nobility may be something you can only dream of, but it is still an ordinary thing…

“Nothing random will do.”

“No way?”

My anticipation was just rising, but the director said no.

I thought this gentleman might be acting like this because he was jealous, but it seems that wasn't the case.

“The nobility of the British Empire… is a huge position. You know that, don’t you?”

“Yes, of course. It’s amazing.”

It is not limited to the nobility of the British Empire.

Because European nobility is literally nobility wherever you go.

Even though the rule of law is deeply rooted, if you look at actual case law, the moment a noble intervenes, the judge makes a strange ruling.

“That much… … there are many who want it, and even those who have already ascended to the title are very much in check. Sir Jamie and Sir Damien may have different opinions right now.”

"ah……."

“Well, since the two of you have similar political views, maybe you could be taken under your wing. However, since the two of you are nobles with great power, you have many enemies. The moment you are recognized as such, you will have many enemies as well… … .”

“Then that won’t work?”

“No, that won’t work. There could be enormous social disruption. It’d be a big problem.”

“Oh, I see. I guess I’ll have to decline this.”

I get it exactly.

This is a poisoned chalice.

What I mean is… … Yes, you get picked as the president of the society at a young age.

Then, you will incur the hatred of many senior professors and in the end, it will not work out.

“Yes, it’s fortunate that you are wise. If you refuse like that, it will probably be a bit of a shame, but it will win you the favor of many people, namely the powerful people.”

“I guess so.”

“Actually, I’m just bringing it up because Jamie Sir is talking about it, but if you actually receive it, it’ll be difficult. If you just let it slip, just say it in front of him.”

“How do I refuse?”

“I just… I don’t think it’s worth it yet. Just say something like, ‘I’m not a slacker.’ Then I’ll understand. Ser Jamie is actually a smart guy, not someone who cut himself. He’s also a man of action.”

“Well… … I guess you’re not doing this for nothing.”

I guess I became a duke by inheritance, but… … .

Isn't it true that a place makes a person?

And to inherit in the first place, you have to be the best among those many brothers.

I don't know the details, but when I went to pick up Jamie Sir's daughter-in-law's child, it seemed a bit complicated.

They just fight among themselves… … .

Knock knock.

Since I was talking to the director, I opened up a bit more.

This guy is pretty busy too.

I've been really busy with diabetes and stuff.

In the future, we also need to make diabetes treatment more systematic.

First of all, we decided to use the sommelier prisoner after a showdown with the police.

I'm a bit worried that if the development period is long and too many different juices are provided, people might become suspicious…

“Well, let’s try saving some other guys.”

“With prisoners?”

“No, I think skilled workers are the best.”

“Are you going to feed it to ordinary people?”

“I’ll give you money, can’t you?”

“Oh, is that so… … ?”

Urine is actually sterile, right?

Is it bad for your health to drink urine?

I don't know.

I don't know… … .

'Where do ordinary workers work?'

arsenic.

lead.

mercury.

White phosphorus.

Shit… … Wouldn’t it be better to drink urine than deal with that kind of stuff?

Isn't this welfare and improvement of working environment?

“That’s a good idea.”

“Okay, I’ll try to set a reasonable price.”

This kind of productive conversation is difficult to have with Liston.

-Catch him.

It was obvious this would happen.

-What about those baguette guys? They're similar to prisoners.

-oh?

I might be a little harsh, but if you want to feed it consistently and taste it, this is the best.

Of course, we can't keep doing this, so we asked chemists to help.

Please make it easy to detect sugar in urine.

The money you can make treating diabetes will be enormous, so the money you spend on follow-up development will be nothing, right?

Knock knock.

While we were having such an important conversation, there was a knock on the door again.

Who could it be?

How dare you, Director, when I, a sorcerer from Joseon, am here in Liston… How dare you?

“Oh, it’s noisy. Who is it?”

Even the director got upset.

That's because, unlike the 21st century, it's not that easy to contact the director.

“Fold! Colin… … .”

But he was someone I knew.

Besides, isn't he originally a cautious guy?

Seeing a guy who knows everything come here and shout so urgently, it seemed like something was up.

“If the patient is sick, just tell them to wait a bit.”

But instead of making a fuss, the director calmed him down with a solemn face.

It was worth it.

What is the patient sick with at this time… … .

Because it originally hurt?

Does trying treatment quickly save you life?

There was confidence in him in a time when neither patients nor doctors were there.

Even among the nobles, there are many who do not call a doctor when they are sick and just go home with dignity.

“That patient is my brother!”

“Oh, really? Then come in.”

But family is different.

Let's leave aside the question of whether it's really a good thing to treat someone like a VIP and touch them like this.

'Everything will be different when I'm here.'

It can be made to flow differently from the typical 19th century.

If it really hurts so much that you have to leave it, I can be the one to decide.

Anyway, when Colin was told to come in, he came running with a loud noise.

The director, Liston, and I looked at the guy.

His face looked quite tense, unlike usual.

It could be like that because he's my older brother.

“He’s my closest friend, but I think there was a fight this time.”

“Battle… …? Aren’t you a boatman?”

"yes."

“But did you survive?”

The direction of the conversation might seem a bit strange… … .

It's not that unusual to be injured on a ship during this time, as it usually leads to death.

“Yes, he hurt his nose.”

“Nose… … Then should I cut off my nose?”

As soon as the topic of amputation came up, Liston started chattering excitedly.

“I think it’s already been cut.”

“Then isn’t it over?”

Then, when it was said that the amputation was already complete, he quickly became gloomy.

“No, no. I told you my nose was cut off.”

“So. It’s over.”

“Haven’t you ever cured someone whose chin was cut off before?”

“Ah… … that’s not fun.”

Even when talk of reconstruction came up, people were indifferent.

Anyway, I just like cutting.

It's perfect for cancer surgery.

me?

I'm a little different.

Of course, there are areas that I am interested in… … .

Everyone is a mess if they only do that.

“Where are you?”

“Oh, yes. I’m at home now… … but if you call me, I’ll be right here.”

“Then tell him to come. I’ll see for myself.”

“Thank you, Professor!”

And it's Colin.

They pull this out, drink shit, drink urine, and do all sorts of other things.

And it seems like it should be that way in the future.

I think it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to pay off some of my debt.
