Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 479

Episode 479: From now on, amyl nitrite is the solution for chest pain [2]

My main source of income is still diabetes treatment.

This means that most of my income comes from treating diabetes in noble families with insulin extracted from cow pancreas.

Of course, surgery is also performed… … .

It can be said that Liston has a near monopoly on arms and legs, which have relatively high unit prices.

'That's… of course.'

I don't really regret it.

Because I could never do surgery like that.

No, all 21st century doctors will be like that.

It would take a very special experience to be able to thrust a sword into a human body with such force.

I believe that Liston can do that not only because he is a brilliant person, but also because he has been amputating limbs since before anesthesia.

Maybe in just one generation, everyone will become weak and unable to do that.

'What about the rest of the surgery…?'

Appendectomy is paid (quite a lot of money).

It's a fatal disease, but it's a survival surgery, and it's one of the surgeries I'm very confident in.

That doesn't mean that they are charging a lot of money to poor people.

There is no such thing as the same number here.

In the first place, doctors do not have a monopoly on medical practice.

Those idiots… … In this day and age, there are even wild healers like Harry’s disciples, so that says it all.

So, I'm getting paid a reasonable amount of money based on my attire and home address.

This means that the rich get more money and the poor get less money.

“Is this… all money?”

“Huh… This is crazy.”

In addition, they also sell Taepyeongtang.

We also run an obesity center… … .

Yes, there is a lot of money coming in from there.

By 21st century standards, I probably earn several billion won a year.

It does reduce a bit after tax, but in our British Empire, we have a strong respect for money earned through hard work, especially money earned by the rich, so it really does reduce a bit.

But… …the problem is that in this day and age, if you want to live comfortably as a noble, even by modern standards, the amount of money it takes is enormous.

There's no such thing as home appliances.

It just means that we have to use people.

“Hey, this… how do I use all of this?”

“Even if we add more research funds, it’s crazy.”

Besides that, I also run a research institute.

You shouldn't think about it from a 21st century perspective.

During this period, research on natural science was… just a hobby.

Of course, things have improved a little since the Industrial Revolution, but… … .

Still, most of it is just throwing money away.

“Ugh…….”

“Ugh…….”

But this time it hit the jackpot.

Actually, except for me and Liston, the rest of the group was hit with the cocaine gene last time.

Honestly, when I see the money he makes, I'm a little envious.

But when you actually look closely?

In fact, it seems like 21st century narcos make more money.

Since this is a world without any regulations or anything, the prices aren't that expensive.

“Amyl nitrite…….”

“Are there really that many people with chest pain…?”

In comparison, amyl nitrite is not a problem.

It's really medicine.

But I had no idea it would sell this well.

As far as I know, chest pain doesn't seem to have this much of a prevalence rate…

It's selling so well that it's actually scary.

"What do you mean, I know. Isn't that something to be ashamed of? Cocaine, I still feel bad about that."

“Compared to cocaine… no, there's no comparison. This is a really great drug.”

But I don't think there's any need to be afraid.

why?

This is a drug that is still used well in the 21st century.

This actually has a really good vasodilating effect.

You can overcome moderate angina with this.

Especially in this day and age when nitroglycerin is not stabilized at all, it should be considered as just a daily drug.

‘It seems like it’s selling better because of the side effects… … .’

You might be thinking, 'Hey, there must be a drug that sells more because of its side effects,' but there is.

The most famous example is Viagra.

That was originally a blood pressure medication.

No, strictly speaking, it was created as a treatment for angina.

But strangely, people keep taking medication even though their blood pressure is well controlled and they can just change it.

When a pharmaceutical company researched this and asked, "What is this?", they discovered a completely unexpected side effect, and that's how Pfizer became the multinational pharmaceutical company it is today.

'Hallucinations… … They weren't too bad.'

Since amyl nitrite is a real drug, I tried it too.

No, if I say I've tried it, it sounds like some kind of bad medicine, so let's say I've taken it.

Anyway, I had that hallucination and it was just… … .

All I could do was feel a little better and feel like I was jumping forward.

Wouldn't this be a useful medicine in a world where there is no proper entertainment?

“Plain, plain!”

“Uh, yes?”

"What are you thinking? Shouldn't we do something commemorative with this money?"

“Ah… well, that’s right. What should I do, though?”

Anyway, the money pouring in was no joke.

It was a heart medicine certified by the heart shaman Kim Tae-pyeong, so it was only natural that the side effect was hallucinations.

Actually, it's not like I'm making a lot of money now, but I'm saving quite a bit even though I'm spending it lavishly.

What that means is that from now on, all the money you earn will just be saved up.

Most 21st century Koreans would try to save up for retirement or something…

The 19th century had a slightly different mindset.

It's a world where you never know when you'll go, but I have a strong desire to enjoy it for now.

I think it's because of this mindset that even in the 21st century, Europeans and Americans spend money without saving, but anyway.

“When I actually try to do something, nothing comes to mind.”

“Me too. Um…….”

“There is something I would rather you do.”

"yes?"

“You… are you thinking about getting married?”

“Marriage…is that it?”

I couldn't do it in my past life.

Well, that's to be expected, since I went so early.

In fact, even if we say early, he would have been older than Liston now or similar to him… … .

Isn't 21st century South Korea a place where, after decades of development through the grinding of human resources, a strange phenomenon has occurred where young people are now lying down, saying they can no longer do it?

Even people who are trying to do something are hearing things like, "You're not a bachelor in your mid-30s, are you?" as the age of entering society continues to increase indefinitely.

You're saying that here, right?

I'm really getting stoned.

"Yeah, marriage. No matter how I look at it, you're not my type."

It is a time when unmarried women are not looked upon kindly, but not as much as the way unmarried men are looked upon.

This is London, and Liston is a well-known figure, literally a person with guaranteed status, so it's a little less so…

It is usually classified as a dangerous category.

So, there are police officers who arrest and detain a man once they confirm that he is single.

What's interesting is that the batting average is very high.

'Well… … I'm not going to live like a debaucher like Brother Liston when I get older.'

It's the same for people of high status.

Of course, if you are a noble or rich person, you get married.

First, get married through an arrangement and then play around.

If you're someone like Liston, someone who's famous and has something that everyone admires, well… …you could almost say you're a Casanova.

It seems like he's barely recovered from syphilis, but that's because Liston's immunity has surpassed human limits. That's why he was able to be cured with just stale bread.

During this period, if you play around promiscuously, you can almost, if not 100%, get syphilis.

“I do want to get married and live happily ever after. But… there’s no one I really like.”

“I think I know why.”

“What is it?”

“Actually, Nightingale… I tried to do well because the gaze I had from the beginning was unusual, but that wasn’t the case either.”

“Well… I like people who are physically stronger than me.”

"Yes, he is strong. If he were a man, he would be a talent on par with me."

Liston smiled fondly, perhaps remembering Nightingale's rampage in the ward (beating up the disobedient nurses).

It may seem strange, but in reality, in this day and age, if you can make the organization run smoothly even by beating people, you are truly talented.

When they see the ward being turned over, everyone says, 'Wow, you're doing a good job.'

In fact, in this day and age, nurses are not only not respected, but are also looked down upon.

'The nightingale is great in that respect.'

The point is that it is not a job that upper class people would choose.

why?

It's a job that's mainly done by women.

The male superiority and female inferiority of the Joseon Dynasty is so extreme that it makes you want to go away.

Many people think that women are unclean beings to begin with.

Besides, in the 19th century, all doctors were quacks, right?

What about nurses?

“Anyway… don’t you think you want someone who looks similar to you?”

“Um… well, that’s fine. But we have to be able to meet.”

If you look closely at zoos in mainland Europe, you'll probably find them.

You might be wondering what I'm talking about, but there really is such a thing as a human zoo.

It's not like it's run by some particularly crazy people, it's just that the general perception is that white people are superior, and yellow and black people are inferior or maybe not even human.

“I think we might be able to meet.”

“Where… at a real zoo?”

“What are you talking about? That’s something only the French would do.”

“Well… I admit that.”

Just between us, I think French people shouldn't badmouth China.

Especially during the Cultural Revolution of Bunseo Gangyuni, you have to keep your mouth shut.

They did the same thing.

no…….

When I heard of Lavoisier, I only knew that he was the father of modern chemistry, but I didn't know that he was beheaded on the guillotine.

I never thought they would send someone who separated oxygen and hydrogen like that… … .

“What did you say this time?”

"japan?"

“Oh, right. I heard that we could sign a peace treaty with Japan?”

“Yeah, really?”

Wasn't that before the Meiji Restoration in Japan?

I don't know exactly, but… … .

It seems like everything is happening faster now that Britain has become a bit stronger than it was in the original history.

Even the Opium Wars are like that.

It probably wouldn't have been that bad in one room.

Just a few decades ago, Qianlong, who claimed to be the master of mankind, was still alive and well.

“But aren’t Japan and Korea very different countries?”

“Oh, I know. I know. But you… don’t you know much more about Japan than we do?”

“I know, I know.”

19th century Japan… … .

To be honest, it is no exaggeration to say that I don't know anything.

At best, all I've seen is <Rurouni Kenshin>.

But I pride myself on knowing better than the Anglo-Saxons.

These kids have no interest in any civilization other than their own.

Actually, the bridge of the nose is really high, perhaps because the nose is big.

“I originally refused. But with all this money… this isn’t something we should really get involved in, is it?”

“What about heart surgery?”

“Oh, are you going to do that?”

“No, I don’t want to do it.”

“If I say it can’t be done because it’s a national matter, would the governor be so stubborn?”

"oh……."
