Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 418

Episode 418: Obesity Camp [4]

I never thought that in my life I would be called a son of a bitch by the King of England.

oh my god…….

I don't know if I did something wrong…

They say they will help you live longer and healthier, but you're swearing at me.

I don't know if you know what that means.

"In the 21st century, adults used to be a little proud, warning people to be careful and be careful because everyone would understand if they said something reckless. This is also called the Korean Wave."

In particular, some of the professors even looked embarrassed.

Even if you say they are very young professors, they are people who lived in a time when Japanese manga was forcibly dominant, and the previous generation goes without saying.

That generation was the one that said that ours was the best, but in reality, they thought of it as American or Japanese. Now, in the 21st century, it's not just words, it's a time when we've truly become the best. How surprising and wonderful it is.

I still remember when he said that it felt like I had gone from being a citizen of a developing country to a citizen of a developed country overnight.

Even before that, it was already a developed country with large corporations like Taehwa and Chilseong, but it seems that there is nothing like culture when it comes to experiencing it firsthand.

'So, has this Kim Tae-pyeong… already raised the pride of our Joseon?'

If you think about it, the most powerful thing in soft power is language.

There is a saying that when people learn a foreign language, the thing they learn the fastest is swearing.

What that means is that our King is taking the lead in learning Korean… … Considering that this gentleman is the King of England, it’s truly remarkable.

'There may not be much to worry about in terms of future generations' evaluation.'

In England, there will be a lot of swearing, but it's probably for racial reasons, so I think it's okay to ignore it.

I think I should just live by evaluating my country, Joseon, or rather, the Republic of Korea.

“What are you thinking so intently about? Is it because you were scolded by the king?”

“Ah… that was a bit shocking.”

“I was surprised too. It’s rare to see a nobleman swear, let alone a king.”

“You don’t quite understand what I mean, do you?”

“But there’s something called nuance, isn’t there? It sounds like a double swear word.”

“Really? Even if an Englishman hears it?”

“Of course. If you call anyone a son of a bitch to their face, they’ll throw a punch.”

“I see…….”

Well, no matter how you hear it, it still sounds like cursing.

I don't know if it's because of the nuance or what…

Anyway, I stopped chatting with Liston and started focusing on the meeting again.

This conference room is usually filled with influential people like Sir Jamie who own shares in our hospital, but today it is filled only with people from the hospital.

The reason is clear.

That's because Jamie Sir and everyone else is coming as participants this time.

“Anyway, I can’t do it like last time.”

At least it's the director's wife.

Besides that, our parents are also here… … .

Excluding the hospital staff, the Count is at the bottom.

But it doesn't make sense to treat them like small business owners.

If you ask me if I'm discriminating against people, I have nothing to say.

It's discrimination.

'This is an era where the hierarchy is very clear.'

It was also a time when people began to slowly think about whether the queen and prime minister had separate descendants… … .

However, it is also true that we cannot ignore the classification or differences according to class.

If you think about it, even in the 21st century, the upper class in Europe lives a completely separate life, right?

Even British English uses different words depending on class.

There are words that only they use among themselves, and I heard that even occupations differ depending on class.

When I see things like that, I think that maybe because South Korea is still a young country, class entrenchment isn't that severe.

Well, I became a doctor too, so… doesn't that say it all?

None of my classmates were as poor as I was, but we weren't all from wealthy families either.

“First of all, the accommodation is the biggest problem… Have you changed the bedding?”

“Yes. I’ve completely replaced it with high-end items.”

“Okay. I won’t be able to see properly anyway because it’s hard, but I don’t want it to get too dark.”

Anyway, because of this, the facilities that were originally already set up in the suburbs… … .

I was thinking of going to the anti-aging center, but moving the treadmill wasn't an easy task, so I decided to just leave it.

Besides, I heard that since it doesn't provide accommodations, it's impossible to cook.

At best, there's a staff cafeteria, so how can we feed all the patients?

what…….

If it's not enough, I could just say, "It's a fasting program," and move on, but I can't be that evil of a person.

This is a person with a conscience.

"What should we eat? I'm sure everyone has a fancy palate."

“It’s not the taste that matters, it’s the nutrition that matters, so let’s do that the way it was.”

“Ah… but that… will that work?”

“What does it matter if I’m going to be locked up anyway?”

“The King… His Majesty is coming too.”

"I've had a good conversation with Your Majesty. He'll lead by example. Then others will follow suit."

“Uh, how is it?”

I thought about the time after I got scolded.

Even if I were known as a Joseon shaman, I doubt I could have persuaded the king through threats alone.

Of course, I explained in great detail the usefulness of this camp.

“I’ll give you some herbal medicine from time to time.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to eat too much of this…?”

“I’ll feed him red ginseng and then boil some herbal medicine, so it doesn’t matter. And what… it’s just a mess, but it’s all just color.”

“Saying something like that so confidently… No, stop it. After all, you said it in front of the king.”

Liston briefly interrupted my explanation, then stopped.

It had to be so, since he said it in front of the king as he said.

Of course, I didn't say it was a mess.

They just said they reduced the capacity a little.

"He said that if I do this exercise, I'll be able to fully digest the effects of the red ginseng and other medicinal herbs in the herbal medicine. So, really? He said I'll get stronger again."

“That… wasn’t there anything about digesting medicinal herbs last time…?”

The director asked a question carefully.

It seemed like he didn't know that the original purpose of business was to pivot depending on the situation.

Well, it couldn't be helped since this was a world where startups didn't exist.

That's what I meant, I'm from the future and I need to understand.

"I thought about it and realized that's true. You have to say things like that to work hard."

"ah……."

“And why are you here? The director is the target.”

“I was the director before that… Uh, uh! Let go of this!”

He said he would understand, but he didn't say he would forgive.

The director was led out by Joseph and Liston.

However, this did not give me the freedom to leave the hospital.

If you run away from London, we'll have to go catch you.

It was better to avoid things that would be a hassle to both parties.

“Hey, I’m the director!”

There's no use shouting outside.

Normally, it's a hospital, so the director's words have authority, but this is our center, so it's like that.

Most of the kids walking around are gang members, so it's fortunate that you can even turn a deaf ear to them.

“Where did you go before… oh, you even messed up. Yeah, he liked it when I told him that if he digested it like that, he’d become stronger again.”

“Then what are you going to do with the punishment machine?”

“Punishment? Oh, a treadmill?”

“Oh, yes. I can’t run, but….”

In the meantime, I tried to make some more improvements.

Actually, I was thinking of making it in the form of a treadmill that I had seen, but it seemed premature.

Oh, that's not going to work.

It's too difficult.

So we just made it a little bit smoother and a little bit safer to climb the stairs.

The line above was made stronger, easier to hold, lighter, and oiled.

Of course, since so many important people had to ride it, separate safety devices were also added.

A net was installed to prevent serious injury in case of a fall.

“I think we did our best, so what do you think?”

“That… I think so.”

Colin nodded at my words.

It's partly because he's originally loyal, and partly because the results of the participants in the last camp were so good.

First of all, the clothes sizes all changed.

Although some were dissatisfied, the majority responded in a survey we conducted that it was a necessary experience at least once in their lives, even if it was something they would never want to repeat.

In fact, friends who were dissatisfied changed their tune when I went to their homes with Liston and asked them about this and that and also invited their families to come in.

I thought that sincerity really does get through.

“I have a question.”

"oh."

We were about to end the meeting, but our smart kid, John Snow, raised his hand.

It could be said to be an unexpected event.

It's all a matter of later whether you're free or not in foreign countries.

Nineteenth-century London was a stiflingly conservative society, yet also one that rarely allowed questions to be asked.

Even I tend to hit the head of anyone who asks useless questions.

If you bring up medical topics, it's almost 99% useless and downright cruel, so it can't be helped, but I nodded, thinking that someone as smart as Jon Snow could make an exception.

“Why are you measuring my blood pressure? I have no idea…”

So I asked, but from my perspective, it was a completely useless question.

If you tell me to do it, I will do it… … .

uh?

How can I explain everything one by one?

“Yeah, I’m curious about that too.”

"Maybe it's just because I want to take stock? I feel that way sometimes, too."

but…….

Looking around, I felt like I had to give an answer.

It was because most people were curious about Liston and Blundell, and it would be meaningless to explain them one by one.

Well, it's true that we live in an era where blood pressure doesn't really mean anything.

Blood sugar is clearly visible in the urine, and when people start urinating sweetly, they get sick and die, but blood pressure is not like that, right?

Since I'm the one who started measuring my blood pressure, I don't know anything.

It's not really something to be said, since it wasn't until the 1950s that we realized that high blood pressure was a problem.

Oh my god, the President of the United States died of a cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure?

It might seem natural since my attending physician was an ENT doctor, but anyway.

“I’m measuring it out of personal curiosity.”

Since it was official, I spoke politely.

That's also because it's a joke.

Only I know the answer.

“But I’m not just measuring out of curiosity, I have a hypothesis.”

“Hypothesis…?”

“I think high blood pressure is not good for your health.”

"Why? Isn't the pressure simply rising to pump blood? If you force it down, blood might not circulate throughout the body."

It may seem like an absurd claim to a sensible modern person, but surprisingly, this idea persisted even after World War II.

I'm doing this to break that in advance.

“Well, that may be true, but do you agree that these camps improve health?”

“Ah… what is that….”

“It’s hard to deny.”

Liston and Blundell looked at each other.

“Many indicators have changed positively, and my blood pressure has also dropped.”

“Was it so?”

“Uh… really?”

“Yes. Doesn’t that mean that low blood pressure is a healthy condition?”

“Oh… that makes sense.”

“But just once…….”

"So, we'll measure it again this time. If the results repeat themselves, it will become common sense. Do you agree?"

“It can’t be helped. We’re scientists.”

“Yes, as an intellectual, I have no choice but to admit it.”
