Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 316

Episode 316 I Didn't Want to Do This Kind of Amputation [2]

“Water is safer than alcohol. What does that mean?”

A formal letter of protest was sent to Congress.

It was just a letter, but one member of parliament actually came.

This happened after I had cut off about 20 of other people's precious parts.

You might think, “Did it come in just one day?”… … .

It came in about 5 days because I was really trying my best to delay or avoid the amputation as much as possible.

The 20 or so cuts were usually done at the beginning of the week, and at least because of the rumors that drinking alcohol after circumcision can be dangerous and that a circumcision gone wrong can result in the pepper being cut off, there was almost no cutting yesterday or today.

"hmm."

Diabetes treatment It's been a long time since I've been exclusively looking after the really important people, and the people who aren't there only go if they're confused about something.

Even this, once our talented subordinates like John Snow and Colin became proficient at diabetes, was reduced to the point where there were times when there was time left even in the morning.

what…….

It was a pity that my mind was always filled with concerns about the future of our British Empire and the health of its people… … .

When other people see him, they might say, 'Kim Tae-pyeong, you have some free time now, don't you?'

But that's all wrong.

Even now, my mind is so busy that it's about to spin around.

'Is it really worth getting all worked up and running like this to tell someone to drink water instead of alcohol? … ?'

Of course, it's not like alcohol has no positive effects at all.

You know, there are people who say that a glass of red wine a day is good for your health?

But it is dangerous to accept that at face value.

Everyone has different levels of alcohol-decomposing enzymes.

What may be good for one person may be fatal to another.

Moreover, chronic eating like this is not helpful to anyone.

“Water is safer than alcohol, so does that mean it’s dangerous?”

“Huh… Is this really you, Sir Tiepyeong?”

If it were me in the past, I would have fallen flat on my face as soon as I heard that the other person was a member of the National Assembly.

You might say that it's too strong, too weak, too strong, but…

19th century London is a world where if you don't, you die.

For the same reason I could keep my head up stiffly.

As you said, I am no longer just a doctor, but a 'Kyung'.

Although he was granted the title of Baron, the lowest of the titles, and one that was not hereditary… … .

Whatever it was, he became a proud nobleman of the British Empire.

“That’s right. So you should listen to what I have to say.”

As I thought about that, my throat and voice naturally became stronger.

On the contrary, the members of the National Assembly showed a somewhat more submissive attitude.

It can't be helped.

Because I wasn't just a baron.

I am the close friend of the recently infamous 'self-scrounger' Duke Jamie in London, the man who provided the lid for the 'rebel against God' Duke Adolphus… … and the leader of the one and only team of doctors to William IV.

Of course, in addition to this, the countless rumors floating around about me were enough to make the other person feel intimidated.

“That’s true, but… isn’t it common sense since Roman times that alcohol is superior to water?”

“I would like to cite Galen’s comparative anatomy as an example.”

“What did you say?”

“Isn’t Galen’s anatomy based on his dissection of animals and his imagination of ‘what the human body would be like’? How does it compare to actual dissection?”

"that……."

“If I were to point out the errors, there are more than one or two… If you look at the picture our Doctor Cheslendon drew, the thigh bone of a human is straight, but in the picture that Galen saw and drew, it was bent. Just because it’s old knowledge doesn’t mean you should blindly follow it.”

“But…… the Greco-Roman era is a shining……”

“Is that what a member of the British Empire is saying now? Are you not patriotic? Do you not wish to become a Greek or an Italian?”

“Oh, no! That can’t be!”

What a sight of an Anglo-Saxon MP hastily waving his hand at a British Korean's patriotic remarks.

If an artist had seen this sight, he would have immediately drawn it.

Regardless of the quality of the painting, it would probably have been sold at a very high price in Asia.

That's because it's a painting that no one but me can make.

“Listen. The British Empire is writing a history that has never been seen before in human history. Do you agree?”

“That… is true.”

“Just think about it. When scurvy… that damned disease was ravaging sailors and the Royal Navy indiscriminately… only we in the British Empire had the flexibility to introduce lime juice to prevent it?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Words like vitamin C are best left to the wise.

Because I still don't know what vitamins are.

So… … I’m writing this empirically without knowing why scurvy occurs or why lime juice prevents it.

Limes are usually eaten by children… … .

So, in the 21st century, it's like the image of children's nutritional supplements like NoX Gold or TenX. Just looking at the fact that strong sailors were the first to eat this makes you think that the British Empire wasn't called the British Empire for nothing.

The experimental spirit is crazy, really.

So, in the beginning, they must have fed sulfuric acid too.

Originally, there had to be trial and error for there to be any progress.

In the case of medicine, the problem is that human corpses have to be piled up for each trial and error… … .

“Let’s try one more this time. Water is safer than alcohol. Let’s introduce that concept, that’s what I’m saying.”

Now we can avoid that trial and error.

why?

Because I am here.

Because I, Dr. Tae-Pyeong Kim, am the one who has hidden the 21st century modern medicine!

“But… this will cause too much of a stir. Right now, only the poor drink the water. And… wasn’t it Sir Thief Young who revealed that drinking the Thames River water raw could kill you because of the miasma in it?”

It's not an easy task.

So many places are broken that if you touch one, another place will shake… … .

It's still like that now.

I never dreamed that my efforts to explain the concept of waterborne infectious diseases in a somewhat understandable way would come back to me like this.

“It’s not good to just eat it. You can boil it and collect the vapor to eat it.”

“Huh…… How come you keep doing that every time you drink water?”

“The guideline that you have to boil water to drink to prevent cholera… We must have passed it on, right?”

“Haha. You did. But we drink wine or beer. If we have to drink water, we mix it with water. Don’t you know? Wine is also a disinfectant.”

"ah."

I guess wine is chlorine (Cl).

If you look at the fact that water becomes clear when you add wine… … .

But it is true that when cholera actually broke out, it was usually the poor who died.

In the past, I just thought that people who were poor died well because they didn't eat well…

Now I see that that's not the case either.

'Surely if I had drunk wine instead of water I wouldn't have caught cholera.'

As these experiences accumulate, it seems likely that the perception that alcohol is safer and superior to water will spread.

Can I fix this right now?

'It may seem like I'm being greedy… … .'

When I first fell here, I thought everything would be fine if I just recited the Ten Commandments like a prophet.

But it's been a long time since I realized that doing so would mean being treated as a witch, not a prophet.

No, even if some people treat you like a prophet, it is very difficult to change people's perceptions and actions based on that.

If you think about it, the same goes for 21st century South Korea.

The best way to be healthy is to not eat bad food and exercise…

The concept of health supplements and IV drips to eat to become healthy… … This just won’t go away, right?

“Then let’s make sure to drink water even after the surgery. Didn’t you see it this time?”

“Some people say that circumcision is dangerous.”

“No… no. I can tell you for sure. It will make a huge difference whether you drink alcohol or water after surgery.”

“Is that so? Hmm…….”

“If you’re still anxious, you can try an experiment.”

oh.

I guess I was a little nervous.

I brought up the subject of experiments without realizing it.

Considering that experiments at this time mean human experiments, not animal experiments, it is a bit like that.

but…….

It's spilt milk.

Besides, if I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like I did anything particularly wrong.

It's only been a little over two years since I came to London and started doing this and that, and how many people have been saved?

“An experiment?”

And there is no member of Congress who does not like experiments.

what…….

No matter how upper class you are, this is a really boring time.

It might be a different story for someone who's just starting out, but even I, who could be considered the epitome of London's booming economy, miss YouTube and Netflix when I'm lying in bed alone at night.

game?

I can't even hope for that… … .

I also miss the web novels and webtoons I used to read on my mobile phone when I was on duty… … .

'So, if it's just an experiment, it'll be an interesting spectacle.'

If only the director could not bear to sell the seats for viewing experiments for money, then perhaps that would have been a big source of income for our hospital.

But it's right not to do that.

It would be nice if we could make money while conducting experiments, but given the nature of the times, there is a very high possibility that we will end up conducting forced experiments to make money.

“What do you plan to do?”

The congressman was so happy to be doing the experiment for free that he forgot that he had originally come to protest and his eyes were sparkling.

These are crazy times in many ways.

But that makes me crazy too.

“First of all, among the patients who underwent surgery at our hospital, those who are admitted and want to drink water are given water. Those who don’t… wouldn’t they drink alcohol even if we don’t tell them to?”

“Well… I guess so. I guess so? But would anyone come for surgery in this time of year?”

“My upcoming surgeries have almost never been cancelled.”

“Ah…… As expected…… T.E.P. Young is amazing. Then when did you start……?”

“It’s possible starting today.”

“Okay, then let’s do that. I’ll get the observer.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

At first, I thought that maybe I was being a bit too harsh when the other person was a member of the National Assembly, but as soon as I brought up the subject of the experiment, the atmosphere improved drastically.

I'm a member of the British Empire, but I'm a bit worried that I might be a bit too swayed by people…

Seeing how things are going well for one reason or another, I thought that it was obvious that the members of parliament in other countries would be even worse.

Even if history continues as it is, there are still over 100 years left in the heyday, right?

If I come here and become stronger, I will become stronger, and I don't think I will become weaker.

'Then, first I need to prepare to drink water.'

Rather than that, isn't it more urgent to summon the Avengers to produce sterilized water?

It wasn't really that urgent, since there was an advantage in that if you call just one person, the rest would come automatically.

"older brother!"

“Uh, who are you talking about?”
