Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 356

Episode 356 19th Century Shodak [2]

Shodak.

This feels a bit weird, but isn't he actually a doctor with showmanship?

Now that I think about it, I get excited and start talking in front of other people.

actually…….

-I'm leaving the YouTube channel called 'Doctor Friends' this time, haha.

-I'm going on TV this time.

-Haha, again? Where are you?

Our professors also all liked standing in front of the camera while pretending it wasn't happening.

No… … I told you, you just tied a tie for the first time in your life?

Some professors even came out wearing bow ties.

In particular, I paid extra attention to 'Doctor Friends', which I mentioned at the very beginning, because it is an excellent channel that does not miss out on both fun and class.

I know a friend who runs the place, so I know him well, and he's a good guy, so it might be possible.

Anyway, the topic we decided on after our conversation on the way back to New York from Colorado was this:

-Dr. Pyeongshin's seminar for better women's health

-Doctor Pyungshin's Seminar for Stronger Men

-Doctor Layman's Superstition Breaking Down, Please Don't Do This

-Doctor Pyeongshin's Guide to Health Supplements

-Doctor Pyeongshin's 100-Year-Old Living Seminar

Well, depending on the situation, there may be some changes, additions, or reductions here, but anyway, that's it.

“Ah…… The view is nice. Where is this place?”

“It’s Illinois. Last time I went a little south and didn’t pass through, but this time I decided to go this way!”

"why?"

“The road just became like that as I was going along.”

"ah."

I couldn't help but feel good thinking like this.

It wasn't that different from other people.

It had to be that way.

Because everything worked out well.

They are even carrying samples that I wasn't even expecting.

After treating a few people, they eventually let me mine some gold.

Even though it wasn't a gold mine, but just gold dust, perhaps because it was a place where no civilized people had set foot in the past few thousand years, I was able to find gold in kilograms.

Everyone's heart feels warm, that's what I'm saying.

'The cataract of the chieftain… … .'

So there is one catch.

cataract.

The chieftain's eyesight is probably at best 0.1 or 0.2 right now.

That means you can recognize letters and faces, but they won't be clearly visible.

There's nothing we can do about it, since the lens has turned into something like ground glass.

To solve this, the cataract-causing lens must be removed and an artificial lens must be placed in its place… … .

'Would that work, logically?'

Although I am somewhat ignorant in matters other than medicine, I do know some history related to medicine… … .

One of them is about artificial lenses.

I don't know if my memory is correct, but…

Perhaps he found the hint while treating the pilot.

The fighter plane's lid is called a canopy, and an ophthalmologist confirmed that there was no inflammatory reaction even though a piece of the canopy broke and entered the eyeball. He decided that this was it and made the first artificial lens using that material.

'If I had known this would happen, I would have at least looked up the chemical formula.'

That's all.

I don't even know the name, let alone the chemical formula.

Another thing that comes to mind is the anecdote about Monet.

Aren't you a famous painter known for your series of water lilies?

I also went to see it once when he was invited to an exhibition at the Arts Center or the City Art Museum, and I heard that he suffered from really serious cataracts in his later years.

'You said you just removed it… … You said you pushed it in?'

At that time, medicine… … .

No, it would be really rude to say that.

That person wasn't even born yet.

He passed away in the early 20th century, and even then, cataract treatment was at a very poor level.

‘Well, this isn’t something that can be done right away… … .’

I can also remove the lens that has developed a cataract.

I'm not bragging, but when you work at a trauma center, there are times when you unintentionally have to remove eyeballs.

Even when I was an ophthalmology intern, I assisted in extracting corneas from donors.

It's not exactly the same as enucleating an eye or removing a lens, but with some practice, you'll probably be able to do it, right?

“What are you thinking so deeply about?”

“Oh, just. It’s because of the chief’s eyes.”

“Ah…… That person’s eyes are white.”

“Yes, I was wondering if you could help me with that.”

“Well… there might be a few in London. But I don’t think they’ll be very good.”

“Probably so.”

As I was lost in thought, Liston called me.

He had a very good expression on his face the whole way out.

It's a given.

Other people may feel warm-hearted, but they can't compare to Liston.

You can tell by looking at the clothes this guy is wearing now… … .

“But isn’t it hot?”

“It’s hot, but I still like it.”

It is a garment made from a single piece of bear skin.

The person is so big that he really looks like a bear.

It was absolutely impossible for the villagers to do, so the tribesmen showed their skills to the fullest as a show of gratitude.

Thanks to that, Liston has become a human bear, and he's grinning inside.

“Anyway, the results were really great.”

“That’s right. Jang is doing well too.”

“Yes. If it were London, half of them would have been pulled out by now.”

“The efficacy of hot spring water is amazing. Of course, you shouldn’t overdo it.”

The experiment went well.

It was more effective because the tribesmen had accumulated wisdom through long experience.

Thanks to this, we were able to immediately implement a method that was both safe and effective.

Gargle only once a day, and do not do so for more than a month.

Since I was only going to stay for about ten days anyway, it would be difficult to stay for more than a month… … .

It was quite encouraging that not a single one of them had rotten teeth in the meantime.

“These sanitary pads… they look pretty effective, don’t they?”

“It does look more substantial because it’s wrapped in cotton. That’s for sure.”

Oh, and on the way back, there were also improvements to sanitary pads and diapers.

This was thanks to a stop at a farm in Kansas where he again stole supplies and ideas.

The American South is just a place with lots of cotton, right?

The reason black slaves were still needed in the first place was because picking cotton was such a labor-intensive task.

So I stopped by there and tried making a rough product using dried moss wrapped in cotton cloth, and it was a huge hit.

When I asked those living on the farm who were menstruating to try it, their satisfaction was also amazing.

“So, on this trip to America… did you acquire these three things: gold, hot spring water, and sanitary pads?”

“That’s right. I guess we’ll have to share a lot of the profits, but I think this isn’t too bad.”

“Yeah. Alfred is not the type of person to hit the back of the head.”

“That’s why. Miller is a precious person.”

“Certainly…… there are such things among the Indians too.”

Liston and I both turned around without saying a word.

Our Indian friend Miller Curtis was left behind.

He remained in Colorado.

Although he had some base in Kansas, it seemed like he intended to travel back and forth to broker business.

As for the upper part, since Miller and I have been working together for a long time, and since the cooperation of the tribesmen was necessary no matter what, we decided to give them some of the profits and have them do the work.

The staff that came with him had almost full authority, and since Alfred was also the son of a senior member, he could make almost all decisions on the spot.

“Well… if nothing special comes up, everything will be fine.”

“Yeah. That’ll be fine. That’s really good.”

“America, by the way… it really is so big.”

“That’s true. The problem is that it’s a vast plain… but from what I’ve seen, the farming seems to be going very well. If things continue this way, America might even overtake Britain. Hahaha.”

Liston looked around and smiled.

It was a laugh that said, “How could that be?”

But I couldn't do that because I knew the ending.

At least in the 21st century, the sun has long since set on the British Empire.

Well, it's still a country worth living in even if it's rotten, but it's a country that can't be compared to the United States.

'I'd rather die than see that sight.'

Even if I manage it to some extent, in the 19th century, it would be at a level where you would have to offer a prayer of thanks every year once you turned 60.

If you really make a mistake, you'll die.

What about our William IV?

He's not even 60 yet, but he's already worried that he might die.

Even though he is not a worker but the King of the British Empire.

'Okay, then let's just keep quiet.'

There's no need to tell Liston to listen carefully to what the sorcerer says, which is just a joke.

I don't know about other times, but when you're wearing a bear skin that was killed with a single stroke of a sword, it's better to avoid it.

“Should we stop by Springfield on the way?”

“Springfield?”

“It’s a place in Illinois where people live together. You can do some maintenance there and then go back.”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

While they were making such a fuss, the coachman spoke to them.

Before leaving, I was completely frozen, worrying about bandits and bears, but now I feel quite relaxed.

I guess that can't be helped.

What kind of crazy people would pick a fight with a bear-man riding right behind them?

Even the gang that Jang had spread rumors about and ran into on the way, gave him some money and disappeared.

Given these circumstances, it is no wonder that such leisurely travel is possible.

'Simpson?'

Anyway, unfortunately I am not that knowledgeable.

It would be like that even if you went to Joseon Dynasty, but it would be even more so if you went to America.

When I think of Springfield, the only word that comes to mind is Simpson.

'Is this really a model?'

You should be able to figure it out.

It's a country with cities with the same name all over the country, so no one would say it's a country without foundations.

I get goosebumps thinking about how I almost got into trouble when I looked up flight tickets to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, thinking it was in New York, since it was where I was going for an academic conference.

Why on earth would a bunch of lunatics build the world's best hospital in rural central Minnesota?

No, I guess we should first wonder how the hospital there became the best hospital in the world.

Even thinking about it now, it's strange…

“Oh, just a moment.”

As I was thinking that way, I suddenly found myself in Springfield.

It might have been a proper city in the 21st century, but now it was just a place where people were busy cutting down trees and processing them.

Among them, there was one thing that caught my eye: a tall man with a whopping height.

If it was just something like that, I wouldn't know, but I think I've seen that face somewhere.

“Why are you doing that?”

“That guy just now……?”

“Are you talking about Lincoln?”

“Oh, yeah. Lincoln!”

“How… Oh, do you like wrestling?”

"huh?"

What are you talking about?

What on earth does American President Abraham Lincoln have to do with wrestling?

I looked back, thinking it was someone else, and it was indeed that person.

“I don’t know about that. Let’s talk about it.”

“Uh… I see.”

uh?

But if you came all the way to America in the 19th century and happened to run into the future President of the United States, wouldn't you have to say hello?
