Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 329

Episode 329 Cigarettes [3]

A line of prisoners receiving dental treatment.

Half of those who suffered were the result of Liston's hypothesis, the bizarre idea that teeth would heal on their own like other bones.

Of course, the situation wasn't much different for the guys I beat up in my own way.

why?

There's no need for a separate dentist.

It's not even divided within the same department; the medical school and dental school are completely separate.

'Well… … I can't do anything about it even if people call me a quack when it comes to dentistry.'

What can I do?

He's a real idiot.

However, I think the concept itself is much better.

Because I am quite aware of the risks that extraction itself poses.

'Huh? I'm going to get braces, I'm going to get implants. At most, I'm just going to get a cavity filled… … .'

Of course, cavity treatment is the center of dentistry.

This will be especially true at this time.

why?

Because almost all problems are caused by cavities.

With these thoughts in mind, I approached the patients.

When doing something like this, that is, when dividing people for a clinical trial, you shouldn't do it like this.

'When dividing the comparison group and the control group… … there are many things to consider.'

Haven't I tried some experiments?

Since research at university hospitals in our country is somewhat different from that in the US and other places, there are many cases where retrospective research is conducted on patients who have already received treatment rather than conducting clinical trials from the beginning…

In such times, you need to be more selective.

After all, all research can have the tendency to bias toward proving the researcher's theory or hypothesis, whether intentional or not?

The stage where this bias can be most severe is the patient selection stage.

At this time, both groups should have patients with the same characteristics.

'I can't do that now.'

But how can people have the same characteristics?

If you look at it broadly, age, gender, smoking, drinking, and other past history should be set to the same level… … but to do this, the number of target groups must be enormous.

But at best, we can only mobilize prisoners.

If they were someone with greater power, they could try to do it to ordinary citizens, but… … .

'No, no. Isn't this harmful?'

Well, even if I don't say anything, they'll get surgery, drink, smoke, and do all that, so in a way, the people I choose end up in a better situation…

Even though I've become accustomed to human experimentation since coming here, I still feel a bit awkward being asked to do something so obvious.

Should I say that there is something that is bothering you?

“Okay, you this way. You this way.”

While thinking like that, I was dividing the patient into two groups.

I'm sharing it as thoughtlessly as possible.

I think that way it won't be any more embarrassing.

If 21st century researchers saw this, they would say something like, “Those guys are so shady.”

I'm sure their minds will change when they come here.

There are things in this world that can be done, and things that cannot be done.

“Okay, you guys, quit smoking from now on.”

"yes?"

“You smoke.”

“Yes, yes!”

I briefly explained to the two of them what needed to be done.

If things were normal, those who were told to smoke after surgery would be making a fuss, and those who were told to quit smoking would be cheering… … .

This is the opposite.

In fact, since they were prisoners, they were not given cigarettes at all, so the non-smoking group was just like before, but when I told them that other guys could smoke, some of them dared to glare at me.

"what?"

“Oh, no! Please spare me!”

But even I, as a normal person, would be scared, but with the Iron Cup on, I am the lord of terror.

As soon as I asked the guy I was glaring at if he had any complaints, he immediately lowered his head.

Then I was even more surprised, but it was only natural.

If I lower my head, my iron cup will stand out more.

“Ugh.”

“Okay, do as I say. Smoking group, go over there.”

The kids in the non-smoking group seemed a bit off, but what can you do?

The bitter medicine tastes better than the bitter one.

I'm not sure if that's true in this situation, but…

Anyway, since those who wanted to quit smoking could just stay where they were without any changes, I moved to the room furthest from here with the smoking group.

Because the smoke from the cigarettes being smoked here could have an effect on the other side.

If that happens and the result changes… … .

-Kim Tae-pyeong conducted an experiment and said that it was the same whether you smoked during surgery or not!

Rumors like this will spread quickly.

That's because the world is a fu*king world.

Rumors you want to spread don't spread, and rumors you don't want to spread spread quickly.

This isn't something that just happened in the 19th century.

Rather, I think it was even more so in the 21st century because of things like SNS and communities.

"good."

Anyway, as soon as I entered the room, Liston came out with an excited look on his face.

I don't know when he prepared it, but he took out a considerable quantity of tobacco, that is, pipe tobacco, cigar tobacco, and snuff.

Now that I think about it, it seems like half of the bag that guy was carrying was full of cigarettes.

But, I don't know if I can call this a blessing, but I don't think it was.

"me too."

"here."

I was able to confirm later that my disciples and even Blundell were all smoking cigarettes.

Originally, smokers were somewhat close to each other… … .

I never thought they would do this to prisoners.

“Oh, and no snuff.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes. This one doesn’t burn.”

“So, do you think snuff is a good tobacco?”

“No, that’s not it… It’s not like I smoke that much anyway.”

“That’s… that’s right.”

snuff.

Simply put, this refers to a form of tobacco that is inhaled through the nose, like cocaine.

You might think I'm crazy… … .

Surprisingly, it is a popular cigarette among nobles and clergy.

-Cigarettes are the devil's stuff!

I heard that priests in particular like it.

He said this in front of people, but then secretly enjoyed smoking.

Since snuff is inhaled from the leaf itself, it has no smell or taste.

If you just pick your nose, no one will know.

Even so, harmful substances such as nicotine will still enter the body… … .

Since it's a type of cigarette I'm not familiar with, I feel a bit hesitant.

Of course, it seems that the short-term side effects will be less compared to other cigarettes that go through a burning process.

Besides, cigarettes that can be used like this are expensive, so not everyone can do it.

There is a reason why it is called the cigarette of the nobles and clergy.

“Okay, so these three. Hmm… this… this looks really expensive?”

So, excluding snuff, there are three left.

Among these, the one that I am most familiar with is the citronella.

It's something wrapped in paper, and this is pretty much what cigarettes are like in the 21st century.

Of course, what I'm referring to isn't that, it's something called a cigar.

This also looked somehow familiar, but I couldn't immediately remember where I had seen it.

“Yes, it can’t be helped. It’s a cigar from Cuba.”

“Ah…… This is a poem.”

Yeah, it's a cigar.

“Leave this out. It’s too expensive to give to those guys.”

“I also said, ‘Oops’ when I put it out.”

With the consent of Liston, Blundell, and all the rest, the cigars were put away.

"ah……."

A sigh full of regret that had not been there when the snuff was put away was heard from somewhere.

It seems that he wanted to smoke a cigar at least once while he was at it.

But that's impossible.

It can't be expensive.

Something happened too… … .

It's just my bias, but I somehow feel like cigars are less harmful.

“Then I’ll give you these two.”

“Yes, this is universal.”

“No matter what, this is a bit…… I guess so.”

The look in his eyes when he looks at Ji-Gwa-Lyeon is closer to disgust in comparison.

This is a very surprising reaction for me, knowing that this will eventually take over the world.

That's true, but isn't it more than once or twice that these guys show us an unexpected side?

In an age where there are things that are definitely right but are desperately trying to sell the wrong ones, a cigarette that doesn't suit your taste is nothing.

First of all, it's none of my business.

“Well… there are quite a few prisoners who want to undergo circumcision, so I’ve made reservations.”

“Okay, but there’s something bothering me.”

“Why? Oh, do you think I’ll cut this off just because I smoked one cigarette? I think differently. Haha.”

"still……."

“Haha! That’s why I’ll be the one doing the surgery. You’re good at everything, but sometimes you’re too timid, which is a problem. This good thing… they say it can even prevent the plague.”

"under……."

Smoking also causes erectile dysfunction… … .

When I told him that story, Liston's response was quite amazing.

-Huh? Let me see for myself.

-yes?

-Let's compare.

That crazy guy… … .

Can that be compared right now?

You have to get older to realize it.

Well, there have been times when I've shown a somewhat delayed reaction.

That's when they said that smoking can cause hair loss.

-Huh? Is that really true?

-That's right.

-I don't think so. If that were the case, wouldn't all of Europe go bald?

Of course, it wasn't the end, but it was an ending.

Anyway, you need to know that they're not British, and that they're not doing that.

They are the kind of people who only know if something is shit or soybean paste by trying it… … .

Isn't it actually their loss?

I'm all for it if I can just avoid secondhand smoke.

About ten days have passed since I started the experiment with that idea.

For the first few days, not only Liston, but even Colin came to me and said that this didn't seem right.

"her."

“This can’t be happening.”

But after ten days, a clear difference began to appear.

In particular, the difference in the treatment of cavities by directly exposing the injured area to cigarette smoke was enormous, rather than whaling.

This means that, except for one or two people, everyone has reached a point where they have to have their teeth pulled.

Of course, because my treatment itself was immature, there were people who eventually had to have their teeth extracted among those who quit smoking…

Fortunately, there was quite a difference.

“Is that really true…?”

“I guess that could be the case with cavities. Is it because of the smoke?”

“Well… I guess it could be because of the acting.”

“Yeah… the acting is bad.”

Even though it was shown like that, it is difficult to accept because it is so different from current common sense.

“Wouldn’t that smoke reach the peppers too?”

“After going through that, the difference is that big…….”

“But there is a difference. Look at this. In the end, I cut it.”

I showed them the two pieces of my genitals that I had cut off today.

While the group that abstained from smoking and drinking did not experience any adverse effects, two people in the group that continued smoking had to be abstinent.

Actually, I should have cut it yesterday, the day before yesterday, but I cut it today because they denied it was Liston.

Bam.

Anyway, let's throw that out there and all of our smokers will be in a hurry.

I don't think I'll be able to quit smoking just because of this… … .

At least he won't smoke in front of me.

Well, going further, it seems like they'll probably force patients to abstain from smoking and drinking until they recover from surgery.
