Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 453

Episode 453: Heart Surgery [4]

"line."

"line?"

“Yeah, really. Inma.”

“Ah… yes!”

The idea of suturing a heart is not something that comes to mind easily.

If it were the original, it would be something that should not be remembered in this day and age.

Does that make sense?

What needle are you putting in my heart?

But if the tough guy has already taken the knife, there's nothing you can do.

'That crazy kid… … .'

Stabbing the heart is a bit much, so I'd like to stab myself somewhere else after the surgery.

"after……."

“Why is it so……slow.”

“I’m tired. From now on, it’s up to you, hyung….”

“Should I do it? Hmm…….”

“Not confident? Then I’ll do it.”

“No, no. Actually, I’ve been watching the whole time… I was wondering if we could do it differently.”

The reason why I, a doctor by profession, am thinking like this is because the surgery is so difficult right now.

Even though the bleeding is so severe that it is oozing out, it is so difficult that you cannot come to your senses because the opponent is the heart.

Well… … it might be a lot easier if we widened the incision gap further, but to widen it any further than it is now, we'd have to cut the ribs.

You have to bring a saw.

No, I have Liston, so I guess I just have to give the 'order'… … .

'It's not like I'm some kind of omnipotent genie.'

What would Liston say if you said, 'You cut it earlier, so now put the bone back together'?

-Okay, patient. From now on, please refrain from masturbating.

It's obvious this is going to be a mess.

It was a time when the belief was widespread that if you didn't masturbate, your bones would stick together because your bones were white and your semen was white.

There are even those who take dark routes to obtain other people's semen and drink it… … and do things that are too scary to even mention.

The reason I specifically said 'those' is because there are several cases that I know of.

For one reason or another, I was having a really hard time sewing it up, so I couldn't help but be happy when Liston said he had a good idea.

It's not just any guy, it's Liston.

Whatever it is, he is smarter than me.

“What is it?”

“Look at it now. He’s covering his wound with his hand.”

“Yes, that’s right. Because it bleeds.”

“Can’t you just sew it up like that?”

"yes?"

Are you saying you're going to sew my hand together and then cut off my hand and leave?

The moment I was about to think that I was being too reckless in my words, saying that it was someone else's hand…

I remembered a patient who came in with a knife in his neck, and a CT scan showed that the tip of the knife had already pierced his carotid artery.

The trauma surgeons remembered that day.

The fear of arterial rupture.

-What is this… …Just touch it first.

Of course, the neck is a very complex anatomy, and since there are ENT specialists who only focus on the neck, and head and neck surgeons in particular, I left it to them.

The culprit had stabbed him in the stomach and then stabbed him in the neck, so we went in together to treat the wound on his stomach. A ruptured carotid artery was something I had never seen before, so I kept glancing at it.

If it had been me, I would have gotten in a lot of trouble with the professor, but luckily the wound on my stomach wasn't that serious, so the professor was also like that.

It seemed like the crazy guy was a complete beginner when he was poking people in the stomach, but he had grown to a professional level when he was stabbing people in the neck.

The angle and depth of the cut were such that I was certain that if I had pulled out this sword, I would have died within minutes, so that said it all.

-Whew… … You stabbed me like X… … .

-That's right.

To be honest, until then, I had been somewhat dismissive of ENT doctors.

They say that head and neck surgery is really tough… … It's tough, but isn't it… …?

But the surgery that Professor Baek Jeong-hwan and his classmate (now a web novel writer) showed me that day was quite good, even to me, who was an aspiring trauma surgeon and had been through tough surgeries.

-Intern, grab the knife. If you miss this, you and the patient will die.

-yes yes.

First of all, the degree of roughness was at a surgical level.

-Nakjun, you know what? If he pulls out, block it with your hand right away.

-yes!

-Just stay still even if the needle brushes against you.

-yes!

-Oh, did you get vaccinated against hepatitis?

-yes.

-Do you have hepatitis C or AIDS, patient?

-That… It's not out yet.

-Let's hope it doesn't happen. Pray. He said it was Father Reverend.

-yes?

No, it was more than surgery.

I admit, they were right at that time.

crazy…….

Isn't that one of the reasons why trauma surgery became a avoided department?

Unlike general surgery, we cannot undergo any tests, and the problem is that some of these tests are not for the safety of the patient, but rather for the safety of the medical staff.

The high risk of accidents in trauma surgery means not only the risk of death for the patient, but also the risk of infection for the medical staff.

“Brother. I’m scared.”

At least it was the 21st century.

That too, in South Korea.

America is… … .

Surprisingly, if the test results don't come out, you won't even get surgery, but that's the only way it can be done.

The risk of various infectious diseases, including AIDS, is much higher there than in our country.

Anyway, I'm saying that our country is a little better, but what about 19th century London?

'Syphilis is almost 50%… … and if you include all the other diseases… … damn it.'

This place is just a hotbed of disease.

Meanwhile, you want me to poke it with my finger?

No.

"I don't know what you're thinking. There's no danger. Especially not to you."

“I know you’re good at it, hyung… but if you make even one mistake, I’ll get stabbed, right? Then, this patient’s miasma….”

“I told you there’s no reason to get stabbed.”

“What…….”

"Just try blocking it with your finger. Why are you so scared? You should become a doctor."

“What does being a doctor have to do with fear!”

"That's not your place. Look at the students. They're piercing the peppers, pulling out the teeth. Look at Joseph's hands. He's experimenting with making disinfectant himself, and what? His hands are all bloodshot."

"under."

I looked back at my disciples with a sigh and saw that not a single one of them had stepped forward for me.

No, rather than stepping forward, I felt like he was just staring at me.

Especially Alfred.

I saved your life twice… …?

Isn't that why you became my dog?

“Stop talking and just point a finger.”

"ah."

I think this is how my friend felt.

The only difference is that he is the son of a pastor, so he is born with a silver spoon in his mouth when it comes to Christianity, whereas I am… … .

I had no parents, so I had no spoon anywhere.

Shit.

Are you swearing?

"ego……."

"eww."

But this is how life is.

There was a celebrity on TV who said that his dream was to be rich and have no one know him, right?

Those who have inherited nothing or little cannot do that.

It is an elegant path that only those who make money through inheritance, the oldest and most powerful method, can take.

Having walked a rough path since my previous life, I gave up and blocked the small hole in my heart with my finger.

"after."

Liston began sewing, taking advantage of the improved vision he had gained from the absence of blood seeping out.

Contrary to my expectations, the needle circled around my finger instead of directly under it.

At first I was like, what is this?

'Is it because you feel sorry for me?'

I had this thought for a moment, but it didn't seem to be the case.

That can't be possible, right?

Liston was not the kind of person to do that.

Isn't he the kind of guy who can do anything if he thinks it will help medicine?

However, that doesn't mean he was the type of person to do useless things.

It's either you save someone or you cause an accident, that's what I'm saying.

'Ah… … No way… … .'

As Liston's sewing continued, I began to understand what this gentleman was trying to do.

I got goosebumps.

That's because I was making the entrance to the pocket.

If you go around the wound and put sweat in it and pull it… … .

Wouldn't that wound close on its own?

If you tie the thread then it will be over.

"her."

“As expected of you. You know how to recognize things.”

“What did you think of this?”

"It's nothing. Remember that guy who got stabbed before? Bae."

“Oh, I remember. He died. The other person died too.”

“I had a silly fantasy back then. If the entire ship were made of blood vessels, I could have survived if I did this.”

"ah……."

The patient's abdominal cavity was actually in a similar condition to a blood vessel.

If the definition of a blood vessel is a space filled with blood, then so be it.

My stomach was already full of blood due to internal bleeding.

At times like that, I tried pulling out my sword and sewing the stomach skin like this.

Because death is already confirmed just by the blood flowing out from inside.

"I thought I'd never need to use it again. There's no blood vessel large enough to be sewn back like this."

“That’s true.”

The aorta shouldn't be like this either.

If you sew it like a pocket and pull on it, it will probably all rip.

This method can only be used on one organ, the heart, which is made of strong, tough muscle and is filled with blood.

Oh my… … .

How can this… …?

“Okay, now take your hands off me.”

"yes."

I was amazed and at the same time took my hand away.

There was no blood coming out.

This was because Liston had just pulled the string and closed the opening of the pocket he had just created.

"phew."

Liston, relieved that his prediction had been fulfilled, quickly tied a knot on both ends of the thread he had just pulled, using the tie method I had shown him.

Then, soon, I reached a state where I didn't bleed even if I didn't pull.

oh my god…….

This is how it works.

“Brother… you’re amazing.”

"No, what. You've always been the only one doing this, but you should be active even in times like these."

Liston says it like it's nothing special, but as someone who has been solving problems using the future answer, I could never perceive it as nothing special.

'If this hyung grows a little more, he won't need me anymore, right?'

It might be a bit of an overstatement, but I even had this thought.

what…….

Not yet.

No matter how much of a dream team is formed, without me, it's still just the best team of 19th century doctors.

“Let’s close the rest together.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Anyway, we closed the wound on his chest and the incision we made next at once.

“My blood pressure is 110 over 70! It’s gone up a lot.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“What a confusing indicator, blood pressure.”

I was feeling relieved thanks to the nightingale, but Liston's words that followed immediately made me feel uneasy again.

In fact, this was because it had not yet been established what blood pressure was normal.

Besides, at that time, these guys were so good at telling me what I wanted to hear.

Well… … This is an issue that doesn’t really get better even in the 21st century… … .

The problem is that even those who call themselves scholars are doing this.

-Your blood pressure is high! Get some blood! You have to lower it to survive!

Some people just quote what I said at the obesity center and say they will lower blood pressure unconditionally.

Using a very extreme method… … .

Of course people die.

Your blood pressure is high! It's okay! This is normal! The higher the better. This is just how it is with age!

The other side is reassuring the patient by using the same words I used when I was seeing an emergency patient.

This one is relatively low.

Because I'm not actively killing people.

Of course, in the long run, both are problematic.

“Haa…… I guess you can’t do it without me.”

"suddenly?"

In the end, the Ubermensch of this era only came to the conclusion that the country was the country.
