Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 478

Episode 478: From now on, amyl nitrite is the solution for chest pain [1]

Liston no longer draws his knife when performing surgery.

This does not mean that it has reached the level of being done by hand.

It means that you are stupid and don't use a big knife well.

Of course, when it comes to cutting off limbs, things are a bit different… … .

A scalpel was used to open the chest and remove the heart.

Swish.

But it still gave me a feeling of something dazzling.

First, cut the dog skin, then spread it apart, then use a sternum saw to cut the bone… … .

He opened it up and exposed his heart.

It feels a bit different from a human heart, but it's not like a dog's heart doesn't beat.

An organ that constantly pumps blood has the power to steal people's hearts.

"oh……."

“Indeed, Liston…….”

“Wow, it only takes five minutes to open your chest and find your heart?”

In addition, Liston's martial arts-style surgery was enough to captivate everyone present.

They were all doctors, and even though it wasn't their first time seeing this kind of surgery, they were all making a fuss.

It was only natural.

Even I, who see it every day, can't take my eyes off it right now.

“Okay, this is the dog’s coronary artery.”

Liston shouted after finding the coronary artery protruding from the aorta, above the still-throbbing dog's heart.

People who couldn't stand it any longer came rushing out.

Then it started rumbling again.

"oh……."

“I’ve never seen such a clean cut in my life.”

"Hey, you. Are you saying the obvious? Isn't that Liston, Liston?"

“Well… there are countless people in all of England who have had their limbs amputated by that man.”

If you only hear the last words, it sounds like some kind of devil, but in fact, it was done for treatment.

In reality, all those who have been cut off live with a grateful heart.

People who were cut before the development of anesthesia… … .

I don't know.

Isn't that my responsibility?

“If you tie this, the dog’s heart will stop.”

“Ehei…….”

"no way……."

“So much blood is flowing into the heart…….”

Anyway, even though this is what Liston and I guarantee, most people are skeptical.

That's a reasonable thing to do.

Once a perception is formed, it doesn't change easily.

In general, it can be seen that generations need to change.

For example, the time it took for celebrities who were once called "tantara" to become objects of people's envy.

Perhaps YouTubers and web novel writers will also become objects of envy in 10 or 20 years.

"ruler……."

One fortunate thing is that the people gathered here are not ordinary people.

Aren't they scientists called doctors?

Scientists have always been known not to be stubborn.

Of course, this principle emerged in the late 20th century.

Before that, there were actually more people who worked hard to protect the world that originally existed.

Just looking at the heliocentric and geocentric theories… … they say there were more scientists who supported the geocentric theory than those who didn't, right?

Ji-ik.

But compared to that argument, coronary artery disease is much easier to prove.

This can be done by just tying the blood vessel and waiting a bit.

Besides, there are no heresy inquisitors these days who come to claim heliocentrism.

"uh……."

“Huh?”

Anyway, after ligating the coronary artery, the dog's heartbeat soon became abnormal.

I'm not saying that the electrocardiogram is bad, but I'm saying that it looks like that even when you look at it with your naked eye.

“Why is it falling?”

“No… really?”

As the people gathered around said, their hearts soon stopped beating properly and began to tremble before soon stopping.

"no……."

“Does this make sense?”

“It’s strange…….”

Then everyone started to blurt out words of shock.

what…….

I think that's a good thing.

I am one of those people who learned that the coronary arteries supply blood to the heart… … .

Nevertheless, after hearing the 19th-century argument that the heart is a place where a large amount of blood flows back and forth, so naturally blood exchange would occur there, I felt that it was more plausible.

It's still kind of like that now.

'If they had made it like that when they made it, 99% of heart attack patients would have disappeared.'

I muttered while looking at the sky for a moment.

Of course, I think there are other reasons that I don't know about.

Perhaps the blood flow is too fast and intense for exchange to occur internally… … .

Or rather, this side may cause more damage more quickly.

More importantly, it was a meaningless worry.

What can we do if the heart is designed to be fed by blood that enters the coronary arteries rather than the blood that enters the heart?

“Did you see it well?”

"uh……."

“No, he died because of the anesthesia… right?”

As Liston said, some of the stubborn ones began to lie down.

No, I was trying to lie down.

But it was soon stopped.

"I tried it just in case, but it didn't work. Surely you wouldn't insist on opening that poor dog's heart again for no reason? I believe my words carry that much weight."

“That… no. That’s right. I believe it.”

“I believe in you.”

That's because of Liston's persuasion.

Let us discuss later whether persuasion with a knife can be considered complete persuasion.

Whatever it is, if the result is good, isn't that good?

Anyway, I continued speaking while looking down at the sight.

The original atmosphere is that you should ride when you can.

"Now, as you all can see with your eyes wide open, the blood vessels that feed the heart are the coronary arteries. This means they are not vestigial organs, but are still fully functioning!"

"oh……."

"then……."

“Angina is a symptom that occurs when these blood vessels narrow, preventing blood flow to the heart, rather than due to any other cause.”

“Oh…….”

“But… then why does it get worse when I move… why, why do you all look at it like that?”

As I was giving that speech, some idiot was saying something stupid again.

Depending on the mood, everyone glared at him.

But I know.

Among those who are staring, there are those who are thinking to themselves, 'Why are you doing that?'

It can't be helped.

Isn't this an era where we still don't fully understand physiology?

Rather, it's stranger that there are people who completely understand what I'm saying.

'You little rascals.'

Another way to say that is to be a flatterer.

By the way, I don't really hate people who flatter me.

Since you won't be able to do it well anyway, wouldn't it be better if you could at least make people feel good?

If there's someone who talks nonsense in front of me and says they're being honest, I'll just kill them…

“The person whose heart rate went up earlier?”

“Ah, ah.”

“How did your heart beat feel at that time?”

“Ah… it felt stronger.”

I pushed the negative thoughts away and instead raised the person who had been the test subject earlier.

Then he asked about the heartbeat.

The subject gave me the right answers, as if he had planned it with me.

Yes, when you are nervous, that is, when your sympathetic nervous system is activated, your cardiac output increases.

A situation that would make people nervous is… … .

In civilized times, things are a bit different, but in the era when the human body was forming into its current form, it was a situation where you had to fight or run away.

How can I do that?

Blood must circulate properly throughout the body.

This means that blood must flow to the muscles throughout the body.

Our hearts naturally have to beat much harder than usual.

“Do you know what I mean?”

"this……."

"what……."

“I think I know…?”

In the 21st century, it is a level of knowledge that anyone who graduated from high school can understand.

That is because it is knowledge that already existed and has become common knowledge.

Even if you have never heard it clearly, it is knowledge that you have heard somewhere, knowingly or unknowingly.

However, in the 19th century, it was a type of knowledge that was difficult for even the greatest intellectuals to understand.

'As expected, the regressor is the best.'

That's why so many people dream of returning.

Of course, even if you regress, it doesn't mean you can become like me, a dog or a cow.

Coming up here, I finally realized that there's something I can do with just simple knowledge.

It requires a certain amount of intimidation, persuasion, and above all, sincerity.

The sincerity of serving this world… …!

"If you're not sure, try running alone. Feel your heartbeat and count it. Then you'll understand."

“What if that doesn’t work?”

“Oh, don’t worry. Dr. Liston will come and tell you in person.”

"ah."

I don't think the guy I just asked will ever call Liston.

Oh, but just imagining that expression makes me feel like I'm going crazy.

Well, I'll go and tell you while swinging my sword, but if there's someone who calls that good, then that's a problem in its own right.

“In summary, chest pain is a disease that occurs when the coronary arteries become narrow.”

I waited for the commotion in the room to die down for a moment before continuing.

It was difficult to expect complete silence in this situation.

It was a lecture that changed all paradigms, so it couldn't be helped.

No matter how open-minded a person is, can he remain silent when his own ideas are being shattered?

So, from the beginning, I decided to understand some of the noise.

I am such a very understanding person.

“If it ends here, it won’t be me.”

"huh?"

“Huh?”

Besides, my presentation could be considered as just beginning.

The content itself may be much shorter, but it means that the main point of what we are going to talk about from now on is this.

And I'm sure there will be an even bigger commotion than before.

Because after all, treatment is much more effective than diagnosis, right?

In modern medicine, the thing that upsets patients the most is when they are diagnosed but told there is no treatment.

Of course, it is much better than the 19th century when people tried various things without knowing how to treat the disease, which ended up causing much more pain and killing the patient sooner than before… … .

“Chest pain is no longer an unknown territory, thanks to medications that dilate coronary arteries.”

"uh……."

“Huh?”

It can't be compared to something that has a treatment method.

Of course, this is not 100% either.

It's a temporary expansion, not a permanent expansion.

What's important is that it's a way to help you live a few more months or years.

Above all, since there are hallucinations, it makes it more enjoyable to go there… … No, this doesn’t seem right.

“This is the medicine. It’s called amyl nitrite.”

Strictly speaking, it is not a drug developed by our laboratory.

It was there originally.

It is said that the person who created it did not know why he created it.

So, when we stole the patent, or rather bought it, we were able to solve it quite cheaply.

If you find out the truth later, you will be very upset… … .

That's just how the world is.
