Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 330

Episode 330 Colorado? [1]

“So, what do you think?”

About ten more days passed since then.

To be exact, it's already been over two weeks since I started getting my fillings.

It's been ten days since I started to emphasize smoking cessation and had to have dental implants and cavity management.

“Hmm…….”

Liston turned to the patients, the unlucky prisoners who had been selected to smoke, at my words.

Everyone was excited and excited until they heard that smoking was allowed.

now?

What is it now… … .

“Ugh…….”

“It hurts so much……”

Most of them are those who have reached the point of balchi.

In particular, they pulled out all the ones who claimed that Liston's teeth would grow like bones.

The situation is somewhat better for those who received mercury amalgam treatment…

I don't think you even received proper treatment for that mercury amalgam.

I did it.

That being said, there were some friends who had problems just because of that.

How do you know that?

“Ugh…….”

Although less frequent, some friends who were grouped into the smoking group also complain of pain.

Of course, there are some friends who had to have their teeth pulled.

It is not necessarily the case that patients who have had their teeth filled with mercury amalgam will recover well.

“Sure… smoking does have negative effects.”

Liston muttered, unconsciously fiddling with his snuff bowl.

It seemed like he really didn't want to admit it.

Actually, what… … .

It was long after the end of World War II that the harmful effects of cigarettes were first discovered, so it seems a bit too much to insist that we accept this 100 years too soon.

“That’s right. At least when it comes to treating wounds.”

“Okay, I have to admit it. If you showed me this much… what can I do?”

As Liston reluctantly nodded, Blundell, who was behind him, also nodded with a look of disapproval on his face.

“That’s strange. Tobacco… I heard that it’s used as a remedy in the New World.”

I stared at Blundell for a moment.

That's what I said, but I don't know what the actual expression I made was.

This is so absurd.

Haven't you ever claimed that Indians are uncivilized and pagan and should be completely exterminated?

Of course, Blundell wouldn't have said this himself… … .

Along with such claims, the reality is that almost the entire American continent is being swept away.

But then again, it's disadvantageous, so look at all that talk about a new continent.

“Why do you look like that?”

He doesn't even know shame.

what…….

It's nothing special.

It's a given that the British do British things, but it's a bit strange that they get angry every time.

The first time or two, you could say it was their fault, but if it happens now, it's my fault.

It's to the point where it could be considered an intelligence issue, really.

“No, well… anyway. Aren’t we scientists? We should believe what we see with our own eyes and what we have proven through experiments. At least for us as scientists, it’s not good to be loyal and faithful to old knowledge.”

However, that does not mean we can back down and say there is nothing we can do.

No matter what happens, whether it's by turning it into something that seems real or not, it needs to be fixed.

Otherwise people will die.

Fortunately, since I am a doctor and have a YouTube channel, I have heard quite a bit.

When I processed it well and talked about it, our Joseon Musae Liston said this with a deeply impressed look on his face.

“Oh. Is this also a Joseon proverb?”

“Oh, no… that’s not it, it’s just me.”

“Huh…… As expected, you’re really smart. But…… I guess you just combined things you heard in Joseon, right?”

At the same time, he had quite a keen eye.

It wasn't completely wrong, so it stung a little, but I don't think his expression changed enough to be noticeable.

He's not called the Kura Master for nothing, that's what he's saying.

“Anyway, don’t smoke. This won’t happen on its own. Mercury amalgam is the best. If you eat a lot of sugar, you’ll get cavities. If you don’t brush your teeth, you’ll get even more cavities. Does anyone disagree with this conclusion?”

“Smoking is a bit surprising… Mercury, well… I guess it makes sense since it’s a traditional medicine. That’s also strange… hmm.”

“So, what makes this bone different from other bones?”

“I should do some research. Sugar is also surprising. That expensive stuff…….”

“That’s true. Aristocratic items… are the cause of cavities.”

Something is making me feel uneasy.

Of course, there are some words among them that I don't like.

but…….

No one dared to openly oppose it.

It couldn't be otherwise, because we all saw the tragedy unfolding before our eyes, right?

Especially the sugar and unbrushed teeth side is really… …reminiscent of a battlefield.

“Euuuuuuu…….”

“It hurts so much!”

It can't be helped because there were almost no cavities to begin with.

In fact, sugar is still an expensive item, even though it is not as expensive as it used to be, so it is difficult to consume it for experiments like this. However, this experiment was possible because Nana Liston and I had accumulated considerable wealth, although not to the point of losing money.

I should have stopped there, but did I overdo it?

Even if you give sugar to someone who is already rotten… … .

This is how it happened.

“It didn’t go well. I don’t think you’re planning on treating His Majesty right away.”

“That’s true.”

Of course, just as flowers bloom in the midst of war, there were positive aspects to this tragedy.

Liston and I nodded as we looked at the newly produced patients.

Since I was going to treat them all for free anyway, I didn't feel that bad.

I was just providing sugar, you know?

They're the ones who just ate it up.

Best of all, I even provided a toothbrush.

Since it is a toothbrush made of animal hair, its quality is very poor compared to the ones used in 21st century Korea… … .

'Still, a toothbrush is better than toothpaste.'

In the 21st century, toothpaste is… … .

Although it is a necessity, for the same reason, developed countries like South Korea produced a huge amount of it, so there was no shortage of it.

Should we take it for granted that it exists there, like air or water?

Of course, there were times when I was traveling or had to suddenly go out and it was inconvenient because I didn't have toothpaste.

But… … it doesn’t feel the same here at all.

'fu*k… … .'

The most common toothpaste during this time is salt.

Well… … we all know that salt is quite effective at disinfecting, but if that were all it took, would toothpaste have been more advanced?

No, it might have been better if there had been no development.

Sometimes people replace toothpaste by rubbing their teeth with bone meal or burnt bread crumbs.

I think it's probably because the colors are similar or something like that.

If you ask, there's a chance they'll give you another reason, but I wonder if it's really necessary to know.

'Anyway, I also provided toothpaste.'

The toothpaste I provided wasn't something weird like this… … .

It was toothpaste made from soap powder.

It may sound strange if you just hear it, but… … .

Other than the slightly strong taste, this is probably superior to the others.

The soap itself is a bit different from the soaps I know, and the scent is also strong… … .

Anyway, this is better than salt, bone meal, and burnt breadcrumbs.

“Okay, we did everything we could, right?”

“Huh? That’s not true. Even if I didn’t know, didn’t you know this would happen?”

So I said this because I thought I did my best, and Liston took a step back.

This fu*king guy.

At times like this, I pretend to be a mature adult.

It's not that I don't like it, but maybe it's because I keep reading Joseon books. Even now, the way he's stroking his beard is like a gentleman.

“It is the law that great men should lead small men.”

"no……."

I don't think that's something to be concerned about… … .

Anyway, there is not only bad news.

“Oh, I heard that someone who returned from the US brought some pretty good news?”

“Ah… there’s a high chance that he’s a common scammer.”

“But we still have to meet.”

“That’s true. Since you’re surprisingly innocent, I’ll go with you.”

“Ah…… yes. Then that’s good.”

"okay."

Although Liston is perceptive, he is not taken for that reason alone.

A person like this would have a lot of meaning if you just brought them in like an interior decoration.

As soon as you see it, you start to feel less like lying.

Even if you overcome that fear and speak up, you won't be able to do it properly because you'll be trembling.

With that in mind, we headed out to meet a guy who had just returned from the United States.

He's not a complete stranger, he's a sailor from Senior Alfred's family.

You might think that it is trustworthy, but surprisingly, the 19th century British people are not so trustworthy.

really…….

It's a cave in itself.

“Oh, hello.”

I only heard that they had arrived, so I didn't know the exact details.

As was the case with Liston, we were a little surprised when we entered the room.

Indian… … .

To be exact, it was because a Native American was with us.

Judging by their clothing and other things, they seemed to have blended in with Europeans to some extent, but their red skin and black hair made them look much closer to me than to the British.

'You're not suggesting we start a slave trade, are you?'

When we think of the slave trade, only black people come to mind, but surprisingly, Columbus captured Indians to make up for not finding gold.

Nowadays, it has become 'common sense' to procure it from much closer Africa and sell it here and there, and even that has been designated as illegal…

That doesn't mean it's completely nonsense.

I heard that although it is illegal, there are cases where it is being used here and there without people knowing.

“Ah, this way…….”

“Just call it wheat.”

The Indian man shook my hand in fluent English, making my worries seem pointless.

It felt very awkward to see him greet me in this way instead of the traditional way, but instead of being flustered, I held his hand.

“You really look different from these people.”

He looked around my face as if he found me strange, and finally offered me a seat.

I looked to the side and saw that Liston was already seated.

If you think about it, it was natural since it was our hospital.

“Phew.”

Without even asking for my understanding, Mill picked up his pipe and began to smoke a cigarette.

actually…….

London is London, but I've heard that smoking is much more natural in the US.

They make and sell sugarcane, they sell corn, but isn't tobacco what the colonial economy is all about?

I heard that these gentlemen not only smoke but also chew tobacco.

It is said that it was created because, in order to enjoy smoking while working, you need a way of smoking that leaves both hands free, that is, chewing.

“Haha. This story might be long, so take your time and listen carefully.”

The sailor who brought the wheat also took out a cigarette and lit it.

He asked for a cigar, as if things were going well for him.

Then, Liston, who had been watching me for a moment, took out the cigar he had been hiding with a look of ignorance on his face and lit it.

An uncomfortable conversation between three smokers and one non-smoker was about to begin.
