Episode 52. Talent exchange (2)
The fireman did not recognize Dunjang Wu either.
On that day, I didn’t have time to remember each person’s face, and it was also stained with blood, so even if I saw it, it was very different from what I see now.
“yes. The painter sewed this here.”
Chief Wu lifted up his clothes and showed the stomach with stitch marks.
After seeing the stitch marks, the fireman nodded.
“Ah yes. I remember now. At that time, the intestines were cut and it was a dangerous situation, but he endured well. The treatment was good, but if the basic physical strength was not good, it would have been difficult to recover.”
“Yes? Didn’t the intestines protrude, but cut off?”
“yes. So it wasn’t easy. I didn’t worry as long as my intestines were protruding. Part of the small intestine was cut off and there were many small wounds in the large intestine.”
At the fireman’s words, not only Udunjang’s eyes but also those around him widened.
I would never have thought that there would be a doctor who could just dismiss the wounds of protruding intestines as nothing more. He was very confident and he was a person who proved his ability to be confident.
“You say that the amount of intestines protruding is not a big deal.”
“It’s not a big deal, but it’s not difficult to treat. Compared to having a broken intestine. Anyway, I wrote a prescription and gave it to the person next to me. Did you take it?”
“Are you talking about this?”
At the fireman’s words, Udunjang took out a small silk cloth from his bosom.
When I opened the silk cloth, a blood-soaked prescription came out.
“Oh my! Soaked in blood, you couldn’t make out what was written on it.”
“At that time, the friend who received the prescription told me the contents. I am practicing it.”
“is it so. Then you’re lucky I’ll see you for a second, so lie down over there.”
“yes.”
As the ox dungeon lay down on the bed, the fireman pressed the boat here and there.
“Aren’t you sick here?”
“It hurts a little.”
“Here?”
“It doesn’t hurt that much.”
“Aren’t you farting a lot lately? The smell must be on the nasty side.”
“Yes, when I fart, people around me would curse at each other.”
“What color is your stool? Is it still black? Or who are you?”
“And the shit is still black. But how did you know my poop was black?”
“I know because I am a member of the legislature.”
“…..”
“Hmm, how should I explain. In other words, the intestines were sewn up, but the wound was not healed, so there was some bleeding in the intestines. Blood is mixed with the poop, so it comes out black.”
“Oh, so that’s right. However, it has become much lighter than the first time.”
“It means you are getting better. When your stool turns golden, your intestines are healed. You must not drink alcohol during this time.”
“ah! I have to pay for my promotion tomorrow, so can’t I just drink tomorrow?”
For a moment, the painter, who was wearing a friendly smile, frowned.
“If you drink tomorrow, maybe around this time next year, the people you drank with will pour alcohol on your grave. The man who will live a long and hard life decides for himself whether to have a drink and lie comfortably in the grave.”
In this case, you need to be sure to scare them and make them aware of the danger. Otherwise, the worth of living through hardship could be lost.
When the fireman spoke a little violently, Dunjang Wu’s face became contemplative.
“Is alcohol that dangerous?”
“Even normal people get bleeding in the intestines when they drink too much alcohol. How do you think you are?”
“I will not drink. I will never drink.”
“Even if you have a golden poop later, don’t drink alcohol if you can. Your intestines are weaker than others now.”
“All right.”
“And, if possible, refrain from eating salty or spicy foods.”
“All right.”
“If you disobey me, later you will feel the pain of having your intestines ripped out.”
“I see. I will keep that in mind.”
“Oh, and eat foods made from cow’s or sheep’s milk often. It strengthens the intestines.”
“yes.”
Under the power of the fireman, Udunjang has now become an obedient sheep.
“Oh boy.”
“Yes, Senator.”
“Take out one of my medicines and give it to this man.”
The painter was calling the medicine made from penicillin an internal drug.
“My medicine? There’s not much left… Really? The amount to treat Captain Jo may not be enough.”
In fact, this kind of comment of the misinformation was actually educated in advance by the fireman.
It is prescribed free of charge to the poor, but when it gets to the point of failure, it costs quite a bit of money. Those who have economic power receive money. This was the fireman’s theory. And the fireman knew one more thing.
The more valuable it is, the more money you can get.
“You can make another medicine for Lieutenant Jo starting tomorrow.”
“It takes more than 15 days to make one pill, but it can get in the way…”
“Hey, since when did you start interfering with my prescription?”
“Sorry. I will give you my medicine.”
When Obo took out a pill of medicine from the bag and handed it to Chief Woo, Chief Woo took it very carefully and opened his mouth.
“If this is the medicine to treat Captain Jo, then it must be a very precious medicine, right?”
“Well, it’s not that precious…”
When the narrator blurted out, Obo quickly opened his mouth.
“It is very difficult to make, requires precious ingredients and takes a long time.”
The fireman deliberately allowed Obo to talk excessively to the chief U.
In fact, all these words were scripted in advance.
“Why are you giving me something so precious?”
Dunjang Wu looked at Gunhu and Wu for a while, then looked at the fireman.
“You have to eat it, so it’s okay if you get wounds in your intestines later. If you’re unlucky, you could develop tetanus in your intestines.”
“yes? Does tetanus also occur in the intestines?”
“yes. And if tetanus breaks out in the intestines, I can do nothing more.”
The fireman recommended medicine, although it was highly unlikely, considering the condition of the rump.
“I will eat. By the way, Gongja-nim, how much is this?”
“It’s a piece of silver.”
“Mr. Senator…”
Then, when Oh Bo intervened again, the painter slightly frowned.
“Stop watching.”
“I see. sorry.”
Udunjang swallowed dry saliva and struggled, then took out three silver coins from his bosom.
“Because this is the only thing I have right now…”
“One cat is enough.”
“I am also a shy person. Please accept it. In fact, the other day, I sent medical expenses through Count Hwang, but I thought I was weak.”
“Hmm- if you think so, I’ll be grateful to receive it and write it.”
When the fireman received the money, Dunjang U bowed his head.
“thank you.”
While the fireman was receiving money from Dunjang U, Pyo-chung whispered a question to Prince Hwang.
“By the way, Prince Hwang. Did Mr. Hwa really cure Lieutenant Cho from tetanus?”
“That’s right. He washed his wounds and blood vessels, took medicine… He treated me consistently every day.”
“It really was. But is that little pill really worth three pieces of silver?”
“Well… I don’t know exactly. However, the instructor taught me the secret Naga Qigong for the treatment fee, and the madam gave me 10 gold coins. I think they did something more than that, but that’s all I know.”
In an instant, Pyochung’s eyes widened.
“I am incapacitated even with my internal organs…. Plus 10 gold coins! It is a very precious medicine.”
“I don’t know either. But even if it was just me, if the chemist asked me to pay 10 gold coins, I would pay? What do you think?”
“It’s about the size of a peanut.”
“The painter takes money from the rich, but takes nothing from the poor. In that respect, it can be said that he was treated almost free of charge.”
“okay.”
Pyochu nodded and licked his lips slightly.
Tetanus was a disease that field workers who constantly touched iron were more susceptible to than the general public, and even now, some field workers are dying of tetanus.
‘Can I ask the chemist for treatment?’
It would be very burdensome to do it with money, but he had the ability to make the things that lawmaker asked for by bringing scrap metal to this place.
Barter was not the exchange of talent and talent was possible.
The painter approached Pyochung after teaching Udunjang how to take internal medicine.
“Through Congressman Bong, I heard a lot about Daeyajang’s reputation. It is a fireman.”
The painter slightly bowed his head, and Pyochung also bowed his head.
“I have heard a lot about Mr. Hwa Gongja’s reputation. It’s the Great Field Pyochung.”
“The medical instruments sent by Professor Cho were really well used. Thanks to you, I was able to heal many people. I really wanted to see you and say hello…. I see you like this. thank you.”
“What. Rather, I am grateful that the equipment I made is being used for a rewarding job of treating injured people.”
sparkle.
There was a light of relief in the eyes of the fireman who was talking with Pyochung.
Pyochung, who I heard from Rep. Bong, was a pretty picky person who couldn’t be careless even by Lieutenant Cho. But that person was showing a crush on himself now.
‘It’ll be easier to say.’
The fireman took out the retractor, needle holder, and Kelly from his pocket.
“If you say so, I can speak with a little less burden on my heart. Excuse me, could you make more of these? In particular, this is a device that catches blood vessels. If you are doing a simple surgery, you only need one, but if you are doing a complicated surgery like in the case of Mr. Wu, you will need a lot.”
Then he looked up at Kelly and gave him a desperate look.
“I’ve made it once, so I can make more if you want. Instead, I have something I need, and I hope you will listen.”
Although Pyochung has fallen, he does not bow his head to Lieutenant Jo because he is from a nobleman. He was being quite polite to the fireman.
“What do you need?”
“I need some medicine… no… some treatment.”
“Did you ever get tetanus?”
“I didn’t get it, but I think some of the field people got tetanus. I want to cure them.”
“okay. Then, I think I will have to examine it and decide accordingly whether to perform surgery, treatment, or inject medicine into the vein.”
“Is that so?”
When Pyochung made a slightly embarrassed expression, the painter tilted his head.
According to common sense, if there was someone who had tetanus, it would have been right to bring him in for a check-up, considering the fact that he had cured the tetanus as an opportunity.
However, the Pyochung was hesitating.
The painter did not know what was going on with him, but he thought that if there was a patient, it would be appropriate to set aside ten days for treatment.
So I opened my mouth to Pyochung first.
“Since we’ve come all the way here, I’ll treat people who are said to have tetanus because they’re holding a memorial service while they’ve seen rice cakes.”
Pyochung hesitated for a moment at the fireman’s suggestion, then cautiously opened his mouth.
“How much does the examination cost?”
food.
In an instant, the painter noticed what Pyochung was worried about and hesitated.
It is possible to live an affluent life in its own way, but general field chiefs are actually government officials.
Those who were imprisoned for some crime, but had no money or background, so they became skilled slaves belonging to the prefectural government.
They were provided with two meals a day, morning and evening, so they were slightly better than those living in the slums, but they were people who could never be financially rich.
Of course, these days, there are people who can’t even eat one meal a day, so there are people who deliberately try to become gwanno.
The fireman was well aware of that fact.
In addition, he had the heart to help Pyochung if he thought of how much he had helped him up until now.
“I’ll do it for free. Depending on the condition, the treatment will be as cheap as possible. I have to do as much as I can for what I’ve received from the Great Chief so far.”
When the painter lifted Kelly up again, Pyochung smiled brightly like a person who had lost his mind.
“Haha, of course I have to make it. I’ll go and get the sick ones right away.”
Pyochung ran toward the workshop in an instant. Hwabu and Obo sat on a bench and waited. After a while, ten field leaders appeared, including Pyochung.
“uh! Are they all?”
“Three of them had tetanus, and two of them were uncertain whether or not they had tetanus, so we brought them in. And the other four are so bad… that it’s hard to move.”
“Okay. Then, I’ll look at those who are not feeling well first.”
