Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 383

Episode 383 How good is it to use sanitary pads? [3]

The herbal medicine for women was actually intended to make them red.

So I tried adding roses, but the scent only came out and the color didn't change.

Well… … Still, I wondered where this was.

The color is black like men's medicine, but doesn't it smell good?

I tried adding a few things here and there, and the rose scent added to it, creating a sophisticated scent for the herbal medicine.

I didn't know this, but it seems like you have talent as a helmsman.

“How could…….”

“It smells really good.”

“It’s really good for your health.”

“My husband said it was a bit bitter to eat…….”

“So you’re not eating it?”

“No, it works!”

Moreover, since there were quite a few people who had seen the effects of the male herbal medicine that was sold in advance, even though it was a placebo effect, the ladies' reaction was also explosive.

Along with sanitary pads embroidered with 'PS' in silk, women's herbal medicines also began selling like crazy.

Even though the price was really expensive, it was still like that.

In fact, it was a prick of conscience to sell sanitary pads at such a high price.

‘This was a duty-free product in South Korea too… …?’

In the 21st century modern society, there is a law that exempts VAT from industries that seem relatively vulnerable, such as publishing, or items deemed essential, such as diapers or sanitary pads.

As South Korea is a developed country, it naturally followed the international trend and made sanitary pads duty-free.

If you don't know that fact, then it's okay, but if you know that fact and do this, even I'm a bit…

“If it sells like this… isn’t it much more expensive than cotton?”

“Yes.”

“Then, can we really import it in bulk next time? Well, it doesn’t cost much to produce it anyway, and we can just pick up what’s lying around.”

“Yes, that’s right. It would cost some money in labor though.”

“What about labor costs? It’s not that hard. With this, my patients can use good sanitary pads at a low price. Haha. Thanks, Pyeong.”

“Well… this is what I have to do.”

But just as I was thinking that, Blundell came and gave me an indulgence.

It was to the point where I thought he was a messenger of the Lord.

Anyway, this thought occurred to me.

‘Am I… … Am I not the Hong Gildong of the 19th century?’

In the 21st century, wealth redistribution has become institutionalized.

This is through income tax, the four major insurance premiums, and inheritance tax.

There are some people who give so much that it seems excessive, but isn't it thanks to them that people in difficult situations are able to survive?

Well… … I don’t think there was anyone in South Korea who was particularly grateful for that.

I once saw an internet comment that said that South Korea developed too quickly to have a mature capitalism and that there were too many nouveau riche people, so there were no rich people to respect…

In my opinion, the rich in South Korea are much better off than the rich in 19th century Britain.

'Isn't it a good thing to distribute money like this, without forcing it, to those people?'

Yeah, this is a good thing.

It has to be a good thing.

That way I can keep running.

Anyway, they sold really well, so we were soon able to produce and sell a large quantity of sanitary pads.

As I sold them, I came to understand why sanitary pads were duty-free.

Aren't noblewomen the ones who can do without things like this?

Well… … it might have been a little more comfortable.

It's just a sanitary pad made of cloth, but it has really good absorbency and sterilizing power.

But people who had lived without it at all were definitely feeling the difference.

“I can really live if I do this. First of all, I have fewer days off… so my living expenses have improved.”

The biggest one is this.

No matter how tough the people of the 19th century were, they couldn't have done hard work while shedding blood, right?

Just because you use a sanitary pad doesn't mean you won't bleed or get less tired.

The point is that wearing a sanitary pad doesn't make you stronger than not wearing one, like in the commercials.

However, we were able to confirm that the fatigue that occurs as a side effect can definitely be resolved.

“Because there’s no smell… I feel relieved.”

In addition, the infection prevention effect could be confirmed more clearly.

There are many symptoms of infection, but the most pressing one for people at this time is probably smell.

If you live in an environment that already stinks, how difficult would it be if your body also stinks?

Well… … If you wear a sanitary pad, the smell of blood will be much less, so that alone would be an advantage.

What if it also eliminated the unpleasant odor caused by infection?

“But can I use this as a diaper for my baby? I tried it once and it was good…….”

In addition, other use cases began to emerge.

Didn't the Indians also use this as a diaper?

Well, if you poop, you have to throw it away all at once, so it's a waste… … .

There is probably nothing better than urine at this point in time.

That wasn't all.

“Well, I’ve been thinking about it.”

Blundell came to see me.

I was in a very good mood because the sanitary pads and women's herbal medicine were selling like hotcakes and I was sitting on a pile of money, so I treated him well.

More than anything, my opinion of Blundell has gone up significantly since I found out that he really understands the concept of infection.

“Now, look. If you dissect a pregnant woman… isn’t the fetus surrounded by amniotic fluid?”

“That’s right. If there’s no amniotic fluid, then there’s… no, there’s amniotic fluid.”

I almost made a mistake because of that.

I felt like I was talking to a colleague, so I almost started talking about 21st century common sense.

But I had long since become adept at just bludgeoning and passing on, and Blundell and the others had also long become accustomed to me doing the same, so it wasn't much of a problem.

Anyway, Blundell continued talking.

“If that membrane is maintained and for whatever reason, when childbirth is imminent, the amniotic fluid breaks and flows out.”

“Yes, the amniotic fluid flows.”

Even today, in the 21st century, many people find out that childbirth is imminent when their water breaks, so it speaks for itself.

This is a very natural thing.

That made me feel a bit suffocated.

I was wondering why you had to tell me this story.

But I held back because I had some respect for Blundell.

Looking back, I think it was a good decision.

Thanks to that, I was able to watch another growth with a happy face.

“That means, if this membrane that surrounds the fetus bursts, wouldn’t it connect to the outside world? Right?”

“Oh…… right.”

Connected to the outside world… … .

I unconsciously leaned toward Blundell.

It felt like I was sitting face to face with a 21st century colleague once again.

“Then wouldn’t there be a possibility that Miasma could invade this?”

“Ohh…….”

“So if you touch it with unwashed hands, you get infected. It’s fine until your water breaks. Oh, that doesn’t mean I don’t wash. I wash because of that bastard Joseph.”

“Yes, yes, I know.”

I am well aware of Joseph's notoriety, which earned him the nickname of the Ghost of Hand Sanitization.

I heard that it's not just about disinfecting hands.

If you get caught doing something wrong, you'll have to take a bath…

In a world where there are still myths about how you can get syphilis from bathing, it's truly incredible that this could happen.

It is a testament not only to Joseph's convictions but also to his physical prowess.

“Well then, what if we covered the mother with her water broken with a sanitary pad while we were transporting her to the hospital or waiting for her doctor to come in? This may not eliminate miasma as much as Joseph wants, but it has been proven to actually reduce the risk of infection.”

"uh……."

“Why not? Tell me what you think.”

Blundell.

Is this a model for a worthy opponent?

It keeps surprising me these days.

Oh my, even I, who thought of selling sanitary pads, could not have imagined such a use case.

“Oh, no. This is good, isn’t it?”

"good?"

“Yes, that’s very good. It will help.”

“Ha, haha. That feels good. Isn’t that the first time you’ve said that to me?”

“I’m really amazed. In theory… it makes sense. It’s really amazing.”

“Hahahaha. Aren’t you putting too much gold on your face? Haha.”

Blundell chuckled at my compliments and walked away.

That doesn't mean I was alone.

Next up was Liston.

He came in wearing a hat, but then quickly took it off.

Then the damaged head from the voyage to China, the voyage to America, and the arduous inland exploration was clearly revealed.

"oh my."

“Don’t be like that…….”

I found myself sighing without realizing it.

Despite my reaction, Liston did not get angry, but continued speaking at a rapid pace.

“I saw His Highness Adolphus the other day, and he still had a lot of hair left over from the transplant. He had to come here by sea from the Duchy of Hanover… Isn’t that okay?”

"hmm."

I couldn't answer that right away.

Instead, he thought of His Highness Adolphus, the younger brother of William IV.

The first ones I planted were thicker hairs than that.

It can't be helped since the hair was planted not from the head but from hair collected from various places.

If I said it was obvious, he would come running and grab me by the collar, but anyway, the number has decreased.

It's missing, that's what I'm saying… … .

A change that seemed more serious was the change in hair thickness.

'The human body is really good at adapting.'

Let's say you have cancer on your tongue.

Do you know what happens when you cut that off and replace the missing area with thigh muscle?

At first it looks like a completely different organization, but as time goes by it changes into something like a tongue.

Well, it's not quite like a tongue though.

Watching the charge made me realize that even more adaptation takes place in the head.

Oh my gosh, I've turned into hair, groin hair!

'You might think that's a good thing, but it's not… … .'

The thicker the hair, the more area it can cover with the same number of hairs.

Being thinner means that the area it can cover is reduced.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“No, I think that would be okay with you.”

“Of course! Of course it’s good!”

"ah."

It was miserable, honestly.

But when it came out like this, I was a bit embarrassed.

But what can I do?

It's Liston.

I have no choice but to do it.

In the past, I was scared, but now I feel sorry for it and also thankful.

“Then shall we do it?”

“Yeah. Both of us have some free time.”

“That’s true. It’ll take some time to check for cavities.”

“Okay, okay. Then where should I lie down?”

“No… I can’t do it alone. I’ll call a team. I’ll do my best to help you.”

“Thank you. This favor of mine…….”

“Just don’t say anything. What are you going to do by making me cry?”
