Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 336

Episode 336 America… … [3]

I exchanged glances with Liston and then looked around.

Our soldiers? Gangsters?

If you say soldiers, it's a bit like that, and if you say gangs, it's a bit like that.

Yeah, let's call him a mercenary.

'There are more guys than these guys… … armed.'

It was a truly bizarre sight.

Even in London, if you go into the back alleys, you can only say that it is a lawless place, but here… … .

If you look closely, these people are just village people.

If you play a fantasy game, you'll see monsters roaming just a few steps outside the town, but villagers 1 and 2 are unarmed, right?

But these people, even the bar owners, all have guns.

'There's no mass shooting, but America has already gone… crazy.'

They say gun control is a good idea but it's not feasible, but now I understand.

No, it's been like this for the past 200 years, so how can we regulate it?

It seems like something unfortunate could happen when you ask how you can return a gun that was passed down from your ancestors, and then it fires with a bang.

'What should I do?'

You must have wondered why the conversation was going in this direction… … .

It's so relatable to this situation right now.

If you do something stupid, you'll end up in a beehive.

In fact, some people are looking at us with faces that say they don't trust doctors at all, even now.

And that too with a gun… … .

'What can I do? I guess I'll just have to try it.'

'What if it doesn't work?'

'I can take one or two hostages in less than a second.'

'aha.'

But I have Liston.

'If I could kill them all, that would be fine too.'

'No, let's not do that. If you get wanted, it'll be a bit… … .'

'We can negotiate with money. After all, we are British. We can blame them for their mistakes. After all, they are the bad guys who say things to the people who came forward to treat them.'

'But that's… … .'

Yes, that is true, considering modern medicine in the 21st century.

Actually, causing a ruckus in the emergency room or assaulting medical staff… … .

In the US and UK, they treat people so harshly that it makes you wonder why they treat people like this, even if they are patients or guardians.

What about our country… … .

It is generally accepted that medical staff should avoid it on their own.

There was even a patient representative who said that if a patient is not satisfied with a doctor, he or she can hit the doctor.

'No, but still… … .'

I suddenly feel angry, but I guess that's not what a doctor should do.

If there's someone injured in front of you, you should look at this first.

And even though I say this, I am already looking at it with all my passion and sincerity.

Ji-i-ik.

First of all, I tore the clothes.

Some people were wondering what was going on, but since it was Liston who did the tearing and he showed off his powerful muscles, there was no noise.

Oh, there was something like that.

"and……."

“That’s amazing…….”

Perhaps because it is a country with a strong macho culture, some people already seem to have fallen in love with Liston.

Perhaps Liston would be happier living in America rather than England.

He is a captain in England too… … .

It's probably going to be very popular with the ladies here too.

"water!"

Anyway, since I had a good view, I had to go out too.

Luckily, the guys I brought this time were veterans, so they were already moving as soon as I laid them down on the patient table.

Among them, the best was, of course, Joseph.

This guy looks normal most of the time because of the liston, but up close he's the worst.

In fact, it was quite large, and the water had already been boiled in the kitchen and let cool.

I don't think there were any interruptions in between, but they did it somehow.

"disinfection!"

I would have been shouting for disinfection like a crazy person… … .

In some ways, it's only natural to step aside.

“Um…… Fire!”

"yes!"

This time Colin stepped forward.

As for the fire, we also have lanterns that we carry around, and there are some here, so securing one wasn't that difficult.

Thanks to that, we were able to tear our clothes, wash the blood off with water, and light a fire, which gave us a pretty good view.

'As expected, there was a fuss.'

'That's why.'

I had a similar feeling earlier, but seeing it with my own two eyes made me feel even more despaired.

First of all, the affected area was not in good condition.

It's not like I got hit in the balls or the pepper.

I don't know if I should say this, but I think I would have survived if I had been hit there.

Even if you live, you might not be living at all… … .

'Stomach… … and the spleen side… … .'

'Spleen… isn't that a lump of blood?'

'Yes.'

'I feel like I'm going to die?'

'I guess I'll have to try it. First… … .'

'Should we just cut it off?'

Liston is truly a great person.

It's true that he's a smart person, and he's also good at surgery.

But if you panic or something, you suddenly become a cut-throat.

I like cutting normally, but has it gone beyond that level?

Anyway, I opened my mouth, ignoring Liston who was whispering like that.

“Are you close with this person?”

“We’re close.”

“Should I pray?”

“Lord!”

“Please let me go without pain!”

“I’m not dead yet, you little sh**s…….”

Then, hands were raised here and there.

Only then could I figure out one more difference from London.

Indeed, America is truly a blessed land, these gentlemen have thick arms.

I'm not talking about having muscles or anything like that, I'm talking about eating well.

'Then can I drain some of your blood?'

London is… … .

There were many cases where the poor people who came asking for money were in really bad condition.

So, at first, there were times when we matched but couldn't transfuse.

In fact, it is basic to check whether this person is a person who can donate blood or not before making a decision, but it is so basic that even I forgot to do it.

Anyway, I didn't think that would happen here.

“Okay, everyone, roll up your sleeves and get ready. Stop drinking.”

"why……?"

“I think you said something about Joseon shamans or something.”

“First selection? What is that?”

“I don’t know, but I heard they were going around London and destroying those Chinky guys.”

“Same Chinky…… hic.”

So when I gave instructions to prepare for the blood transfusion, they started to stir.

Those who didn't know me yet were saying things like "Chinky Chunky", but I didn't have time to say anything.

There was no need for that.

“Hey, why are you doing this!”

As you know, Blundell is in charge of transfusions.

If it had been the previous Blundell, he would have been both in charge and a butcher, but not anymore.

At least my group… … .

Even if you don't understand it properly, at least you are acting correctly.

That upright behavior is a bit creepy.

He's still holding a knife.

“You have to bleed.”

“Is this real sorcery…? If I do this, will that guy survive?”

“It’s not witchcraft, but it could look like it… No, it could be mixed with witchcraft.”

Blundell barely managed to continue, then turned to his patient, who was now losing consciousness completely.

I wanted to say something about this too, but I didn't have time.

“Okay, then get ready! Disinfect!”

"yes!"

Now, we really have to open the boat and go in.

Left, right.

Luckily we had Joseph.

Water is not always available because of its weight, but the disinfectant was kept even after two weeks on that rocking ship.

Even in Kansas, where the journey could be rougher than the sea route and would most likely take longer, disinfectant was packed in the many bags packed to endure it.

“Ugh…….”

The disinfectant was toxic, and Joseph's hands were also clammy, so the patient, who was losing consciousness, began to groan.

It means that you are in pain, but it is not a bad thing.

Won't your blood pressure rise?

In a bleeding situation like now… … .

It is no exaggeration to say that the higher the blood pressure, the better.

“Alfred!”

"yes!"

At that moment, just before the disinfection was finished, Alfred turned on the gas valve.

If Joseph was obsessed with disinfection, Alfred was obsessed with gas, so it was possible.

a little…….

I'm a bit worried that I'm so obsessed with it that I might be addicted, but whatever it is, it's good to know that I can have a firm grip when I need anesthesia.

“Ugh…….”

There was a gasp of air coming from the patient's mouth.

I felt the pulse transmitted through my finger, which was touching the femoral artery, weakening.

'I wish I had ketamine… … .'

Ketamine is currently attracting attention as a narcotic in South Korea… … .

In fact, it is one of the safest anesthetics.

It is also used as a treatment for depression.

‘Depression needs to be cured too… … .’

The 21st century is not an easy world to live in, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that 19th century London was a city that produced depression.

what…….

Let's get back to the anesthesia issue, since the other issues aren't resolved enough for me to worry about that yet.

'An anesthetic that raises blood pressure… … .'

While other anesthetics usually lower blood pressure, this one actually raises it.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no medicine like this in departments that mainly deal with trauma.

When I wake up, I have nightmares or something… … .

It's a hundred or a thousand times better than having life be a nightmare or just dying.

Ji-i-ik.

Since there is nothing more frustrating than looking for something that isn't there, I first cut open the anesthetized patient's stomach.

Just because it's cut doesn't mean it's cut in a nice, cutting way.

Cut the middle part to about 10cm.

“Plain. But wouldn’t it be better to cut along the ribs? The spleen is an organ that is located on the left side.”

"huh?"

“Oh, how is your Korean language skills?”

"no……."

As I was staring at him like that, Liston asked me something like a ghost.

It was in Korean.

“This way, we can have secret conversations without others knowing. How great is that?”

“But that is……”

“Anyway, would you mind answering my questions?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Since we were talking in Korean, of course no one could understand us.

It was the same for our group as well as the people around us.

Moreover, since this word is not even used by Indians, the looks from people around me started to look more and more strange.

a little…….

What should I say?

It felt like the magic was gaining more and more power.

“The spleen itself is dislocated, yes. But where is it attached?”

“Stick?”

“Blood vessels.”

“Blood vessels? Ah…… The one that goes to the spleen is from the aorta. Ah. I see. Right, is that so? But are you planning on removing the spleen altogether?”

Liston said, looking at the wound on his left abdomen.

The hole wasn't that big.

The problem is the bullet marks.

'I almost got hurt because I was joking… '

Gunshots are scary.

First of all, I am a trauma surgeon, but because of the nature of the Republic of Korea, I see more traffic accidents than gunshot wounds, so I am not used to it.

To be honest, I've never seen it in person.

And in this period, gunshot wounds are even more so than in the 21st century.

The bullet broke apart.

That's also made of lead.

“Yes, I’m going to throw it away. If I try to sew it up clumsily, I’ll really die on this table.”

“It doesn’t seem like a suitable place for a person to die.”

“At least I should die at home.”

“I don’t think that will sound pleasant either.”

“That’s why we speak in Korean.”

“Well done.”
