Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 440

Episode 440: The Nightingale [5]

I really didn't know.

I never dreamed that Mrs. Nightingale was such a wealthy young lady.

“Ah… were you born in Italy?”

“Yes, my parents went on a honeymoon to Europe.”

We went on our honeymoon to Europe, so why was I born in Italy?

Isn't a honeymoon usually a week, or at most two weeks?

I was thinking something like, "Oh, the 19th century was a bit different," and then I got confused.

Even though the 19th century was richer than previous eras due to the Industrial Revolution, honeymoons were not common.

In the first place, there aren't many classes that can travel.

Once you go, unlike in the 21st century, you have to stay for a long time, and not only is the money you spend there expensive, but is there any other class, past or present, that doesn't have to work for that long, other than the aristocracy?

Also, if you ask if they are nobles and can just play around, that is absolutely not the case.

'With power comes responsibility.'

First of all, people who are of the rank of count or higher have a hard time leaving London due to their busy schedule.

Well, I have a villa near London and I live there enjoying it to the fullest, and when something comes up, I go to Paris, France, but that's all as part of official business.

If you just go out to play, it doesn't end with you getting scolded.

Lately, I've become known as a real power in London.

As I heard stories here and there, I became more and more familiar with the way the upper echelons worked, and my questions kept piling up.

Nightingale also opened her mouth with an embarrassed smile, as if this wasn't the first time she had experienced such a reaction.

“That… I traveled for three years. My sister and I were born during that trip.”

“Huh. A three-year honeymoon?”

"yes."

“You’re really rich, really.”

“Well… well, he’s rich in his own way. But aren’t you rich too, Professor?”

“I’m the one earning money now, haha.”

I think the best way to accumulate wealth is through inheritance.

Self-made isn't easy, really.

life…….

really…….

As I was thinking about this, the nightingale began to move her mouth diligently, as if she had some kind of feeling.

“But I have no intention of relying on my parents’ influence.”

In short, I admit that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I will act like an independent person. That was it.

what…….

Although he was unusual, he was by no means a new type of person.

I happen to be a graduate of Taehwa Medical Center.

As the hospital is run by Taehwa Group, which has grown into one of the best hospitals in Korea and a leading global conglomerate, for the purpose of contributing to society and ensuring smooth medical care for its family and executives, it is only natural that there are quite a few professors who are from the group.

Not only the professors, but also the residents, although not many, had a lot of similarities in their words, and I wondered where they learned them from.

-That's right, my dad is the president of electronics. But I haven't inherited anything yet (snickers at the X Phillip) and I don't plan on doing so.

-Yeah, really. I've gotten this far solely through my own efforts (putting down the BenX key) and I will continue to do so.

All I could think was that this was a real mess.

Well, it turns out that being a medical school professor is more of a position where you are selected based on your abilities than you might think.

Comparing it to other subjects is a fair enough position to be sorry.

why?

First of all, there can't be a medical school that only has students studying abroad.

There is a system called government-funded study abroad, but does that mean poor people can study abroad?

People spend more money on eating, sleeping, and excreting than you might think, but wouldn't that cost even more in a country where we're rich enough to study abroad?

Even if you can somehow pay for your tuition, you will have to earn your own living expenses or receive support.

'Earning your own living… sounds beautiful. But… .'

I also paid for my living expenses by tutoring during my preparatory course and until my first and second year of college.

Of course, I would be proud of it when I went somewhere and talked about it, but in reality, it didn't feel like that at all.

It was very difficult.

It was already painful to have to take time out of the already demanding medical school life to tutor.

But wouldn't international students not be able to tutor?

After all, studying abroad is something that only people with decent income can do, unless they are high-ranking officials.

‘It wasn’t fair even for medical schools without that… … .’

Professor, there is a saying that teaching is a thing of the past.

This is especially true in South Korea, where doctors are beginning to discuss whether it is best to go into cosmetic surgery without becoming a specialist.

It was a time when materialism was beginning to take hold, so there were no brakes, but honor was originally given to those who followed a single path.

This means that there is an outpouring of praise saying, 'That person chose something other than money!'

But if you look closely, you can see that the professors at medical schools are increasingly coming from wealthy families.

What that means is that people who don't really need to earn money become professors.

'What… … is there anything I can say?'

Isn't it the nature of people to become uninspired by what they already have?

Besides, I am not the me of my past life.

I have more now than the friends who were whining in front of me back then, but I definitely have more.

So instead of scolding the nightingale, I encouraged her.

'I already received a donation… …and I think I'll be able to receive more in the future.'

If you run wild without being able to tell the difference between heaven and earth when you are young, I will be grateful.

I'm not expecting you to get into trouble or get into trouble.

The child in front of you may be young, but isn't he a great person whose name will be remembered for a long time in history?

If you just adjust the direction well, there won't be a more reliable ally than this.

“Yeah, I’m rooting for you. I think you’ll do well.”

"thank you."

“So… I’d like you to take on the position of head nurse?”

“Huh? That’s a special favor… isn’t it? Was there a request?”

It's cute how he acts sensitively to requests like a child from a wealthy family.

If you think about it… … .

uh?

How can you not do this much when you have donated so much money?

But Nightingale is too innocent to understand the circumstances of such adults.

I don't think this part will really change as I get older.

So, risking her life, this rich girl went to war.

Even though I knew that he hadn't returned unscathed and that he would be bedridden for the rest of his life due to the aftereffects, I didn't really feel like saying anything.

“No, no. How could that be?”

“But for a young rookie like me…….”

“Just talking amongst ourselves, the nurses we have now are not formally trained.”

“Huh? Ah… well… it’s not that surprising. But this hospital….”

"Yes, that's the hospital I'm at. Still, it wasn't enough. It was hard enough to even teach the doctors. How could I possibly have the energy to care for the nurses in that situation?"

This was sincere.

Not only the nurses, but in fact, other doctors besides our subordinates didn't have the capacity to care about it.

How could I, a proper doctor, be sane when there were people dying avoidable deaths all around me?

Actually, things haven't really changed much even now.

If anything has changed, it's me.

I'm trying to say that most things are like that.

If I try to change everything by myself, isn't it obvious that I'll die?

Of course, we have some power now, but that doesn't mean we should try to change it rashly.

'If you do that, you'll end up like Mao Zedong, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and so on… '

Of course, the difference is that they were going in the wrong direction, but considering the current era, isn't it me who was wrong, not the public?

“I see… Then I.”

"We have to change everything. Since we can report on it after the preemptive strike, we'll have to change it somehow."

“Somehow……?”

So I decided to hide a little bit further back.

Even though Nightingale was a bit rough, she was ultimately a great person, so even if I act impulsively, I don't think I'll be remembered as a villain, right?

I'll leave the ward to you, Nightingale.

It's a dispatch.

"Yes, by any means necessary. I'll use whatever means necessary."

“Huh… I understand. I didn’t realize you had such a strong determination.”

"hmm."

Am I mistaken?

Along with the madness flowing in the eyes, some energy began to surge.

I looked back at Liston, who was standing next to me, just in case, and saw my brother nodding with a look of understanding on his face.

It was a face I had only seen once.

That's right, Lincoln, future President of the United States and current wrestling champion… … .

And that was the face Liston had when he faced the only strong man who had offered to give him the fight first.

'I wonder if I made a mistake?'

I thought I might have let a tiger loose in the ward, but even I knew that it was impossible to put spilled water back in.

Besides, wouldn't it be rude to be arrogant towards a great man?

Above all… … .

'He must have sent this guy for a reason.'

I looked up at the sky and meditated on the God I always depend on and follow.

Yeah, where in the world is my will?

That's what he meant.

That means I have no responsibility whatsoever.

Thinking this way, my faith, which had been lacking, suddenly felt recharged and my heart felt much lighter.

He is indeed the Lord who carries the burdens of those who are weary and burdened.

"amen."

"suddenly?"

“A true believer thinks of the Lord even as he walks down the street.”

“Well… yeah, that’s better. There’s been some scandalous talk going around lately, and I want to show you to them.”

“Is that presumptuous talk?”

“Yes, very… huh… words that even believers would find difficult to say are being exchanged.”

So I sent off the nightingale and, to relieve my discomfort, stopped my walk and shouted Amen to the sky. Liston, after admiring me, suddenly began to blame the times.

This is usually how people act as they get older, but I was a little worried because this happened to someone who wasn't even married yet.

I also wondered what on earth was going on that made this person act like this.

Usually, instead of lamenting, he goes and beats them up.

“What do you mean?”

“Have you ever heard of the theory of evolution?”

"huh."

So I asked and a word I never imagined came out.

'Strange? The Origin of Species… wasn't that a book published in the mid-to-late 19th century?'

It was strange, so I checked my memory again, but it seemed like my memory was intact.

This is an open boast, but wasn't I a genius who graduated from Taehwa University Medical School in my past life?

If your memory is not above average, it is impossible to get into medical school in Korea, where competition is already fierce.

Well, I don't know much because I'm not interested in many things, but I do know the knowledge related to the exam relatively accurately.

"You seem to have heard the gist of it. This is no time to be doing this. Let's go."

“Where?”

"I heard that some guy named Darwin is returning home today. He may not have openly talked about evolution, but there's no one who doesn't know that he was a driving force."

“Uh huh.”

Suddenly, Darwin?

It suddenly felt like I was in 19th century England.

Who knew there were so many people who left their mark on history?
