Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 371

Episode 371 Hormones [1]

Testosterone.

In more general terms, it is a male hormone.

In fact, the word hormone probably first appeared in the early 20th century.

but…….

“body parts… Certainly… That makes sense. Why didn’t we think of that?”

“That’s true. Haven’t you even been to the Qing Dynasty?”

“Blue? Why Blue?”

“I heard that people there enjoy eating cow body parts?”

“Huh? Did you? How did you… know that it would work?”

“I found out that they castrated him so that he could be used for work. You know that, don’t you? If you have strong masculinity, then…….”

“Ah, yes. I heard there are a lot of eunuchs there. Well, I guess you could know that from experience. They are inferior species, but… there must have been some people of the same level there.”

“Yeah, that could be possible.”

There was a bit of an awkward conversation, but let's just move on.

Are you going to discuss race with these people?

It's impossible.

No, even in the 21st century, there are racists everywhere.

Those kids who used to think that there was no such thing as a place where people lived and only had flower gardens in their heads, all changed while backpacking around Europe.

Even in 21st century Europe, which can be said to be highly civilized, it is difficult to desire racial equality in 19th century Europe, which was barbaric itself.

Even priests and pastors say that there must be a separate heaven for black people.

'What's more important is the body parts.'

I admit it.

Jean Pierre.

I never thought about it until that innovative baguette doctor started talking about body parts.

However, after hearing it and thinking about it carefully, I realized that among the numerous endocrine organs, that is, the organs that secrete hormones, the most protruding one is the testis.

Naturally, it would have been easy to infer what would happen if it were damaged.

I don't know for sure, but I think that maybe the body parts were the first clue that humans became aware of hormones.

'I guess the body parts were easier than the pancreas? The thyroid gland is also visible, but it's in the neck.'

During this period, the neck… … .

If you touch it, it usually kills you.

If you just stab it without antibiotics, it'll just go away.

Some people may be lucky enough to survive, but in those cases, will their thyroid be the problem?

I can confidently say no.

I almost died, but unfortunately I won't live long.

'If you think about it that way, humans are truly strong animals.'

Same conditions… … .

So, without disinfection or antibiotics, huh?

I cut off their body parts, but a lot of people came back alive and served as eunuchs, right?

Even since ancient times, there have been people who lived long lives and became powerful people… … .

“Anyway, does this only apply to old people?”

“I don’t think so.”

“You too… You’re not getting hit, are you?”

“Unfortunately, I am not free to move around in England. First of all, I need the body parts of a live cow, but it is not easy to obtain them. Strangely, all the butchers are your people, so it is even more so. Even the king is aware of it.”

"ah……."

“I was only able to get a live cow after making the excuse that I would slaughter it here and eat fresh meat occasionally. It was a struggle to persuade him to give it to me.”

While I was thinking these high-level thoughts, Jean-Pierre and Liston were busy talking about body parts.

what…….

It's not something to be thought of as strange.

First of all, we must keep in mind that the body parts are a very important organ for men.

Isn't it the organ that makes men men?

It may seem like I'm exaggerating when I say it like this, but it's true.

The influence of hormones on humans is truly enormous.

If you take growth hormones, your height can increase from 4 cm to 10 cm.

'In the 21st century, what… … there's been a huge increase in interest in hormones.'

Hormone therapy began to be attempted in earnest at the end of the 20th century.

The only time this has been attempted properly is in the 21st century.

Considering that, Jean Pierre is truly amazing.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm already on hormone therapy.

Although, if it goes all the way, it will probably end up being murder rather than treatment… … .

I applaud his sense of adventure, curiosity, and challenging spirit.

Originally, medicine developed by overcoming mountains of corpses, so it may be a natural progression.

One problem was that our king was stuck in that mountain of corpses.

“Me, brothers.”

“Uh, uh. Tell me.”

“I was curious about your opinion anyway. What do you think?”

So I intervened, and both Liston and Jean-Pierre looked at me.

Oh, the king is in the palace.

We are now in a bar on the first floor of a luxury hotel in downtown London.

So Jean Pierre is also dressed as a proper gentleman, not as a woman.

It was a very expensive piece of clothing, perhaps because the king had given it to him with some of the national treasury.

It was an expensive outfit, worthy of Nana Liston, and although it may sound presumptuous, it was absurd for a mere doctor to wear clothes similar to ours.

‘How much do we sell, and how expensive is it…?’

This won't work.

There is no doubt that this thoughtless king is not only damaging his health but also the British treasury.

If we preserve it well and give it to Queen Victoria, wouldn't history flow more similarly?

Since the Opium War broke out so quickly, I wonder if it wasn't already all wrong…

I think my anxiety will stop if I get hit at least once.

I'm scared that by the time I die, a steampunk world will unfold…

“First of all… it does seem to make sense.”

"yes?"

“Haha. That’s right! If we popularize this treatment… humanity will be free from aging. Think about it. How strong has your king become? He only received injections and nothing else.”

Jean Pierre seems not to have yet realized the simple and clear truth that one must listen to what people say until the end.

But Liston, who had been with me for many years and had come to know me well, sensed something was strange just by looking at my expression.

If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have frowned like that.

Anyway, I continued speaking.

He had a more serious expression on his face.

“But there is something we are forgetting now.”

"huh?"

“What is that? What did I forget?”

“Men or women. Which of the two lives longer?”

"uh……."

“Women. But that’s because men do more innovative and adventurous things. Women stay at home, cook, and take care of their children.”

ah…….

This is not my idea.

Jean Pierre, that's what the baguette guy said.

Of course, I'm sure if you asked any of our proud Londoners, they'd give pretty much the same answer.

That's what this era is like.

“Isn’t that the case with farmers? Female farmers work quite hard.”

“Uh… is that so?”

“Even so, men are more…….”

“Have you ever been to the countryside? There are a lot of men there who spend their days drinking.”

"that……."

“But…… still……”

But at least the two in front of me are the most innovative people of this era.

So, wouldn't they also inject liquid made from ground up body parts into a person's body?

Just because it's called Liston doesn't mean it's any better.

Even though he is my accomplice, he is injecting liquid made from ground up cow pancreas.

I fed him urine, water from the Thames River, and even pulled out his teeth.

“But women live longer than men.”

These are the people who can be swayed by the saying that women live longer than men.

'Well… it may be a little different depending on the civilization.'

For example, Russia has an extremely large gap in life expectancy between men and women.

The same goes for the United States, and I think it has to do with the macho culture.

I think it goes by faster because I drink more, fight more, and smoke more.

In comparison, in Islamic culture, especially in areas where strong laws rule, the difference in life expectancy between men and women is not that great.

First of all, men will be affected by not drinking alcohol.

Since you have to pray five times a day facing Mecca, you can also consider it as exercise.

As you can see, women live extremely oppressed lives, so their stress levels must have been enormous compared to those in other cultures.

First of all, it was legal for a husband to beat his wife, so that said it all.

'Nevertheless, there are biological differences.'

Not only do women have longer life spans, but women are also better at surviving extreme conditions, such as being too cold or too hot.

Why is that?

You can tell by looking at the muscles.

The truth is, muscles are a luxury, a luxury.

For humans, who already have a large brain that consumes a tremendous amount of energy compared to their body size, muscle is an organ that is best to have only as much as necessary for survival, that is, the minimum.

'If you expend too much energy unnecessarily, you'll die. And on top of that… … .'

Research has already shown that males in mammals live about 10% shorter than females.

Conversely, it was also found that eunuchs, that is, those who cut off their own body parts, lived longer.

The average lifespan of a eunuch during the Joseon Dynasty was much longer than that of a king.

'First of all, it is directly related to benign prostatic hyperplasia and hair loss.'

Perhaps our king too… … .

Soon your hair will fall out more and it will become painful to urinate.

I'm not cursing, I'm just stating the truth.

“This is a common phenomenon observed in all animals that give birth and give milk, just like us.”

“Is that so?”

"okay……?"

“Yes. In Joseon, cows are highly valued, so a lot of research has been conducted, and according to that, cows are also like that.”

“Huh…… As expected, Joseon…….”

“Joseon? Oh, you said it was your hometown.”

I also sold Joseon a little bit.

When the original logic is different, you have to sell both the country and the Lord.

“The Lord created them that way. Aren’t women meant to be fruitful and multiply by giving birth to children? That’s why we also create and keep the same rules as ladies first.”

“That’s right. That’s right. The Lord… The Lord’s words are truly mysterious.”

“I see…… Lord……”

So, since we sold them together, there was no need to persuade them any further.

At least it seems to make sense that men die faster.

“And remember why our Duke cut off his own body parts.”

“Jamie…? Ah, pee. Prostate….”

“Huh? Oh, Your Highness the Duke. Haha.”

In addition, I continued to say other things.

“Yes, the liquid made from the body parts will definitely promote prostate enlargement.”

“Huh… that’s a bit….”

“Is that possible?”

“It will only make your hair fall out more.”

“I shouldn’t write it. I don’t think it’s necessary.”

"uh……."

Jean Pierre.

I knew it from the time my tongue was long.

'This kid… … was I right?'

The worry drips from the hand touching my hair.

Is that why?

“Isn’t that right? If everything can be predicted, why do experiments?”

I began to desperately insist that it wouldn't be the case.

It's okay.

Because we expected that our king would show even more of an appearance anyway.

“Prisoner… please call.”

"okay."

“Okay! Let’s do that and try it ourselves.”

And there are still a lot of people in London who deserve to die.
