Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 249

Episode 249 Brother's Surgery [3]

I'll pay you to do the surgery…

Isn't that a devilish idea?

If you do something like this in the 21st century… … .

'No, right? We do clinical trials, right? We do everything except surgical practice, right?'

I was worried that I might get caught, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it.

Yeah, the meaning is important.

Am I trying to live a life of wealth and honor with this?

Of course, if you become a master of surgery, you will become rich.

And I'm already making some money.

But the ultimate goal is… …not money, it’s somewhere else.

I'm not interested in money.

-People who don't care about money are crazy about money.

Suddenly, the words of a famous internet instructor come to mind… … .

“It’s pretty crowded.”

“It can’t be helped. I heard there are people who want to cut off their noses because of this.”

“No, that won’t work.”

“They say they’ll give you a month’s salary if you work hard for a day, so isn’t that a given?”

Anyway, I tried to practice once a day with the money I saved, and more than 20 applicants came in in one day.

It goes without saying that if the hospital had said, "Come on, patients," it wouldn't have gotten to this point.

I had the help of the director and the police chief.

We used to put up our job advertisements in slums where ordinary people could not go without security.

Naturally, most of the people who gathered here were from the slums.

A month's salary for those people…

“Well, that may be true.”

“Yes. People who don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Or maybe they don’t know what will happen today.”

“Yes. Thinking about it that way makes me feel a lot better.”

“When did you ever speak as if you were feeling uneasy?”

"that……."

I tried to say something in response, but it was no use.

That's what Liston said as he pointed to the sommelier's room.

There was a prisoner I had locked up there.

This is the person who locked me up to taste urine… … .

There really was nothing I could do.

I heard that guy's talent is amazing.

Huh? You know how amazing urine tastes.

If I just raise it a little more, I think I'll be able to get the general concentration right.

“Should I have surgery?”

“Yeah. But why are you excluding those who were cut off because of syphilis?”

“Wouldn’t someone who has had one amputation due to syphilis be more likely to have it amputated a second time?”

“Ah… …Is that so?”

“I guess? It’s just my opinion.”

“Well, it’s just my personal opinion. But since it’s your opinion, it seems plausible. There’s no reason to take unnecessary risks. But… … .”

“But?”

“Can you trust these people 100%? How can you know if you have syphilis or not? Just by listening to them.”

“Ah… … there is a way.”

“Is it there?”

Yes, why isn't it there?

Just peel it off and take a look.

what…….

If it's early syphilis, it might be a bit difficult to diagnose, but if it's severe enough to cut off your nose, then…

You can tell just by looking at it.

If you hesitate, well… … there's nothing you can do about it.

That's right.

How can I diagnose something like that when I'm not even a believer?

“Okay, let’s go.”

So we started by interviewing the patients who came in.

They said it was an interview, but they mainly looked at whether my body type was suitable for surgery, whether I had any other diseases including syphilis, and whether I had any tissue that could be pulled, including my forehead.

Being good at speaking or having strong willpower were bound to be secondary.

why?

What's the use of talking so well?

I guess it would be better to exclude people who feel cheap, but isn't this the era when people from slums have little to offer hospitals?

Besides, we are not just ordinary hospital people, we are also people who have gangs under our command, so it would have been okay to say that it never happened.

“About 4 people like this should be enough.”

“4 people… … Shouldn’t we do more?”

“No. The basic surgery has already been completed anyway.”

“Well, it would be fine if we just improve it. But would it be possible to do it by removing the ribs? Is it okay for cartilage not to have blood vessels connected to it?”

“Um… … That’s why I’m going to try it.”

Actually… … it doesn’t have to be that way.

That's already a known fact.

I also know the general idea from experience.

Besides, the nose… …is made of much stronger tissue than you might think.

Even though they put all sorts of things in during plastic surgery, usually there are no problems.

Of course, if you are too greedy, that is, if you put in too many implants to make your nose too high, problems like them getting pressed down and rotting can occur… … .

Well, that has nothing to do with us.

If more time passes and I end up getting plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons, then maybe that's another story. But for now…

“Then let’s start with this person.”

"okay."

“But if something else comes up, we change it.”

“What else could there be? There are so many unemployed people these days.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“You really are… … of noble birth, I see. You should also look after those who are having a hard time.”

“Okay… Okay, I get it.”

Anyway, I called the patient I had decided on.

The patient, of course, said there was nothing he could do.

Other than that, all we talked about was money.

“I will definitely return the money you promised… … .”

“Yes, yes. I will give it to you.”

“I really really… … .”

“I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you.”

It was getting tiresome to have to check it so many times.

but…….

What can I do?

That's how desperate it is.

And because it's so desperate, they come and get surgery like this.

“Alfred.”

Now our operating room was a fairly well-established yard.

There are still a lot of shortcomings, such as the operating table where the patient lies, the instrument table, and the lighting, but anyway, it was incomparably better than before.

"huh."

“Let’s anesthetize.”

"huh!"

Even the anesthesia tools were like that.

Before that, you couldn't tell how many degrees the creaking noise was turning.

Literally, you had to roughly estimate the amount of anesthetic gas by the sound of something like a puff, but now it's different.

In a full-filled situation, the angle of rotation is indicated, so even if it is not an absolute amount, the relative amount can be known.

So, depending on weight, some people would have 30 degrees per 30 minutes, and others would have 45 degrees per 30 minutes, and so on …

Of course it's not exact, but…

My standard of comparison is always the past.

Swish.

Anyway, Alfred turned it 45 degrees and covered the patient's face with the attached mask.

Now that the mask has tiny air holes in it, there's no need to press and remove it like before.

Of course, if you keep pressing, the patient will die… … .

At least this team doesn't have to worry about that.

Thanks to Alfred.

boy…….

With your other hand, you are feeling the pulse on the patient's wrist.

'If you teach one, they will at least know one thing.'

At first, when I tried to teach one thing, I usually ended up talking about ten things and making people lose their minds… … .

“Haha.”

It's almost like a complete transformation.

I laughed out loud without realizing it.

“You didn’t drink it, did you?”

“No, brother.”

Liston, seeing that sight, had an absurd suspicion.

Patience.

Do you think I'm that weak to drugs?

I'm so speechless… … .

"disinfection."

"huh!"

Anyway, now that the anesthesia has been applied, it's time to disinfect it.

If the area is not the face, such as the stomach or chest, it is better to disinfect it before anesthetizing.

Because we need to minimize the anesthesia time.

However, it is better to do facial disinfection under anesthesia.

How did you know?

-fu*k… …Stop! Stop it!

I found out thanks to Colin.

When I put phenol on her face, she just fainted.

Actually, I thought about it while doing it too.

Oh, this is something you shouldn't do.

This must really hurt.

I'll take three.

I'm going to do it.

Swish swish.

Anyway, through many experiments, we found the optimal method.

The chest is disinfected in advance for rib extraction, and the face is anesthetized as it is now.

'Anyway, I'm telling you, the real disinfectant is top-notch… … .'

Joseph's disinfection is truly perfect.

Maybe if they just provided better disinfectants they would do better.

What's regrettable is… … .

It is unlikely that we will see a disinfectant better than the one we use now, not even immediately, not even for a considerable time in the future.

“It's over.”

“Okay. Then Joseph, you and your brother will have the ribs.”

"huh."

“Colin next to me.”

"yes!"

It is now common sense, at least among our team, that anesthesia time should be kept to a minimum.

Even Liston admitted it, and the reason was simple.

-Miss… … You cut it well.

His amputation skills are more advanced than ever.

It's so crazy that the word "crazy" just comes out naturally.

Honestly… … if you don’t consider reconstructive surgery, I don’t think there’s anyone in the 21st century who cuts as well as Liston.

And yet… … people die.

Because of the anesthetic gas.

'Perhaps it was a death due to differences in the host, such as an allergy or hypersensitivity reaction… … .'

Even if it is the same medicine, for some people it works as a medicine, while for others it works as an extremely scary poison.

Common sense in the 21st century, but not now.

And I did not want to trample on the fragile scientific thinking of those who were just beginning to grow.

-Kim Tae-pyeong: Although it led to advancements in medicine, looking back now, many of the things it did were done based on faulty grounds.

It seemed likely that he would later see me and comment on me in this way.

There's nothing I can do.

Still, there's nothing I can do.

No matter what future generations say, I have to save the people in front of me right now.

And to do that, I need to build my team up of people who are good at pretending to be doctors, no matter what.

"knife."

"knife."

While I was gathering my thoughts like that, the surgery began.

Colin and I stood with our faces against each other, Liston and Joseph against our chests.

Ji-i-ik.

Now, my skills have improved to the point where I feel like returning the forehead muscle flap is nothing.

Just draw it straight.

Moreover, since we had already considered the facial features, including the forehead muscles, when selecting the patient, there was no significant lack of detail.

“Okay… Is this enough?”

Liston also showed that his training so far was not in vain.

Even though it was practice on a corpse, the ribs were quickly removed.

No, should I say rib cartilage?

anyway.

“Yes. Just one hole here.”

"good."

Liston used an awl to poke holes into the bone of his nose, where the cartilage was gone and only bone remained.

If it were the original, a drill would be needed… … .

Liston is a real monster.

Its strength and skill are so good that it doesn't cause any damage anywhere else and just makes holes like a ghost.

“Okay?”

"yes."

Now that side is sutured.

we?

We are… … working on attaching cartilage to the slightly remaining bone in the middle and covering it with flesh.

It may seem difficult to say this, but since Liston had already made a hole for the thread to pass through, and neither I nor the patient were expecting a perfect nose shape, it was done quickly.

Rather, what was important was from now on.

I wonder how this part will fit into place.

I wonder if there will be any infection.

If you listen, you'll get a feel for it, but it's not something we can do or say anything about.

Not only this patient, but the rest of the patients were like that too.

So for a while, the only sounds heard in the hospital were the sounds of continuous prayers, reminiscent of a prayer room.
