Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 276

Episode 276 Is This a Meeting or Hell [1]

Pimélier, pimélier.

I feel confused.

In the first place, I don't know why these kids keep adding 'mlie'.

I'm not sure, but I have a feeling it's going to be a quick fix…

The people here, including the director, a Huguenot who fled France because of persecution, were all anti-Paguettes.

“You seem more interested in feces than blood.”

Even while I was stunned, the conversation was still going on.

I don't know if this is the original atmosphere of Western discussions, but it's just like, "Oh, right?"

“I guess so. Blood has to be drawn every time… … It’s not easy.”

“But don’t you see the change every day? So… … .”

“That’s true. Besides, it has already been verified in Joseon.”

“Verification… … I’m really curious.”

Looking back at Liston, this guy was really serious.

To be honest, I was a bit curious too.

what…….

Don't you do stool tests?

Even in modern medicine, it can be seen that health status is assessed through stool.

Well… … If we go towards intestinal microbes, it is also the direction of future medicine.

'Huh… … ? Because Liston is a real genius… … ?'

When I thought about it, I realized that there definitely was something there.

shipbuilding…….

Was it really an advanced medical country, as expected?

I feel like the patriotism that I had forgotten for a while is welling up inside me.

It can't be helped, I've seen them all the time so I've lost interest in them. In fact, aren't they the powerful men of the British Empire?

Since we don't have much of a history directly linked to the British Empire, we might have a weak feeling, but when I came here and saw it for myself, it was definitely… … It's not for nothing that they call it a country on which the sun never sets.

That influence is enough to live off of until the 21st century.

'Let's just keep quiet and listen.'

Okay, let's hear it.

If they're just talking nonsense, why don't you just stop them?

Besides, Liston was so excited right now that it was physically difficult.

So I stayed still, and Liston continued talking as if it were nothing.

“First of all… … In Joseon, a doctor who sees the king is called a royal physician.”

“Huh?”

“It’s hard to pronounce, but it’s a good idea.”

“Umm… … Anyway, so?”

At Sir Jamie's words, Liston immediately sat up.

Because he was such a large man, he had the power to attract attention just by that.

Even without the word "Byeonmelier", everyone in the room was interested, so there was literally no noise except for the sound of breathing.

“Among them, the person who eats the king’s stool is called Siyangbunjik.”

“What the hell?”

“Division of work and responsibilities.”

“What a mess.”

“That… … Yes. Anyway, if you look at the method, it says to start by smelling it. If you think about it, the smell of poop isn’t the same every day, right? I think it could come and go depending on the condition.”

Division of labor… … .

It was as if Liston had actually been to Joseon.

I must have heard that word somewhere, and I had even forgotten it just now.

How could someone who only lived in London know this?

'Are you using the shrinking method?'

Strangely, when I think about Liston, I can't help but wonder what's impossible.

First of all, it's nonsense that you can cut off a person's limbs so cleanly like that.

Needless to say, opening the skull and all.

“Then they look at the shape. Is it thin or thick? Is it big or small?”

“Huh… … . The more detailed it is, the more interested I become.”

“Yes, they say that the next thing to look at is the color. The golden color is considered the best, and in this case, the smell is also delicious and surprisingly, the taste is not that bad.”

“No, how can that be?”

“They say that in Joseon, so what can I do?”

“That’s true. Haha. Joseon is… … that kind of country.”

Sir Jamie nodded.

Let's say that's possible since he's a guy who doesn't know anything.

Liston chuckled.

Let's say that's possible, since he's a crazy guy sometimes.

“So what about other colors?”

But isn't that not okay, Director?

“Speak quickly!”

Blundell too… … .

You are intellectuals.

When someone comes up with the idea of feeding poop to another person, shouldn't you usually try to stop them?

You may wonder if I have the right to say this to someone who feeds urine, but there is a difference between feces and urine.

First of all, there are bacteria in the stool.

and…….

No, fu*k… … .

I'm thinking about it in too much detail, I feel like I'm going to throw up.

“There is green. This is usually caused by eating too many plants. If your stool is very loose and green, it means that something is not healthy. If it is too red, it could be bleeding. You could suspect something like hemorrhoids.”

“Aha. I see. That makes sense.”

“I’ve heard that black poop is also not good for health, so I think I need to research this further.”

“Yeah, that’s it. It’s something we can do in the British Empire. Again?”

“They say there is a gray mutation, and in this case, you have to watch it closely because you could die soon.”

“Huh. So color change was that important? Joseon, after all… … is truly a wise country.”

Even while I was momentarily speechless due to the shock of recollection rather than imagination, the conversation continued.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that praise for Joseon continues… … .

‘But why do I feel strangely uneasy… … .’

Anyway, it wasn't something I knew much about.

It sounds obvious when you hear it, but I never once in my life thought so deeply about a change.

“And finally, the taste remains.”

“Oh.”

“They say that if it has a fishy taste, it’s the worst.”

“What does bribery mean…?”

“I think it might be the smell of blood.”

“Huh, that makes sense.”

“They say that the sour and bitter taste is not very good either.”

“I guess that kind of taste can come from the toilet.”

“I’ve never eaten it, so I don’t know… … but that’s what the records say.”

I really… … .

I'm proud to say that my stomach has improved a lot since the 19th century.

In the past, I would be startled even when I saw a bug, but now when I see a mouse, I just think, "There's a creature with hair and a long tail over there."

Its resistance to sewage and sewage is also no joke.

If you go to a back alley slum like the East End, the whole place is like that.

Homeless?

There was a bit of a wait when I went to Seoul Station.

Here, it's just… …you could say that the entire area is like that.

It's been a long time since I stopped feeling dirty even though I was in the middle of it.

It's scary because it might be dangerous, but it's okay if you have Liston by your side.

'eww…….'

But this is… … .

This is a problem of a different dimension.

No, what on earth were our ancestors thinking?

There is a limit to loyalty, so why didn't you just see and observe it, but taste it and record it?

“They say the best one is the one that is slightly bitter but has a nutty flavor at the end… … It can have a nutty flavor. I’m a bit curious about that too.”

“Huh… … But I think I need to be quite sensitive to the taste?”

“That’s right. And you never know when or how a person will change, right?”

“That’s true. I think it’s even more so as I get older.”

“A person with a keen sense of taste, and someone who always goes around with you… … Doesn’t Sir Jamie already know?”

"ah."

Their gaze turned to a man leaning against the wall.

It was something worth reflecting on, and only then did I look back at that person.

Because of me, he was able to escape from the slums and make a living… … .

He is a sommelier.

“Why is your face like that?”

“Yeah, are you feeling unwell?”

Sir Jamie and Liston looked at the old man with expressions of bewilderment.

I thought they were crazy.

Even urine, huh?

You can eat it.

But the stool is a bit like that.

Okay, now is the time for me to step up.

"for a moment……."

“Oh, our expert has been kidnapped!”

“Have you ever tasted it yourself? I think so!”

When I slowly got up, people welcomed me warmly.

The atmosphere was strange, and my intuition was on edge, so I could see what would happen if I just left this alone.

-Try it, please.

It was obvious that crazy people would do this.

If I hesitate, I'll say this.

-Didn't you give him shit water?

I have nothing to say.

Really… … .

So, we need to take action first.

'Turn your head around!'

fortunately…….

Something comes to mind.

When I was a fellow, I was so busy that I was asked to film a YouTube video for the academic society.

At that time, the topic was the lifespan of Joseon kings, but to be honest, it was not because of the level of medical science that lifespans were reduced.

The original purpose of the conversation was to say that even kings would die young if they didn't exercise and worked too hard, so that wasn't a good thing.

But I am someone.

He is a master of tricks.

“The average lifespan of a Joseon king is shorter than that of a British king.”

“Huh?”

“What? How can that be? Joseon is a medically advanced country!”

First of all, it is not a country with advanced medical systems.

Well… … Compared to 19th century British medicine, Joseon medicine, which only provided relatively mild treatment, such as placing a needle and giving medicine, was probably better.

This place is practically a human wasteland.

If you count the number of people who died at the hands of doctors, this number would be overwhelmingly higher.

“It’s all because of the division of labor.”

“Division of city and county?”

“What the hell?”

“Yes. Eating poop is… … not that effective.”

I guess seeing and smelling the stool might be meaningful.

But it's not for eating.

“Is that so… … ?”

“No, but what about the lifespan?”

“The Joseon kings usually died around the age of forty.”

“Huh… … You’re so young.”

“I think we’ll survive for about 50 years.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

In fact, European kings usually lived into their late forties or fifties.

Again, it wasn't just because of differences in medical standards.

The King of Joseon… … .

Since I had to ride a sedan chair if it was a little far, I couldn't exercise.

In addition to that, I had a lot of work to do, including not only actual government affairs but also studying and debating Confucianism.

In the meantime, because they had to have children, they were forced to have frequent s*xual intercourse.

In fact, it is surprising that he was able to live until he was forty.

I think it was possible because Lee Seong-gye was born a warrior and his bloodline was passed down.

“This is all because doctors who ate feces said strange things. In fact, there is a theory that doctors who ate feces also died young.”

“Huh, is that so?”

“Yes, in Joseon, there is a saying, ‘shit poison’… … Shit is poisonous. Do you think doctors who ate that poison would have been able to prescribe proper medicine?”

“Huh… … This is the first time I’ve heard something like that.”

“Rather, there is a saying that in Joseon, the local doctor was better than the royal physician, and that is all because of that.”

“I see… … Then, as for Byunmulli… … It’s unfortunate, but should we pretend it never happened?”

I breathed a sigh of relief at Sir Jamie's words.

At the same time, he praised me.

'To think that I could weave a shithole in such a short time. I guess I should have come to the 19th century.'

Only I can correct 19th century medicine.
