Episode 190. Suspicious disciple (1)
Suddenly, a splendid carriage pulled by several horses and escort warriors on horseback appeared, and many in the medical room looked at it with puzzled expressions.
“I don’t see them coming to the battlefield…”
After a while, amidst the attention of many, the carriage door opened and a girl as bright as a flower stepped out, and the men’s eyes widened.
As the girl entered the hospital under the protection of the escorts, people wondered why she had come this far because she was sick.
However, the purpose of her coming was beyond people’s expectations.
“yes? You want to learn medicine?”
The fireman looked at the woman who identified herself as Sarah with an absurd expression.
“Yes, I was always interested in medicine, but after hearing the doctor’s high name, I thought that this is the person I should serve as my teacher.”
“Still, it’s probably not something a nobleman would do.”
“How can it be trivial to save people? I would like to take the girl, Congresswoman Hwa, as my teacher. Oh and this is my tuition fee. I considered the reputation of the lawmaker, but I didn’t know how much to give, so I put in whatever came to mind first.”
Sara nodded, and one of the guards took the box out of her bosom and put it on the table. The box itself looked luxurious, but it was also heavy enough to make the table thud.
The eyes of the people who had been watching the fireman and Sara from a little distance were all focused on the box.
When the painter opens the box, he will know how much money is in it.
Shuk.
However, the fireman did not open the box and pushed it toward Sarah, opening his mouth.
“I don’t take money from my disciples. Rather, it’s not as much as the hard work, but it pays off. And now I am treating the wounded near the battlefield, so I can’t afford to take four soju as a disciple.”
The fireman’s refusal made Sarah look a bit surprised.
‘I thought I’d be able to refuse because this is a battlefield, but I never thought I’d even look at the box.’
Sarah had to somehow become a disciple and provide the information the old man wanted, so she had no intention of backing down with a single refusal.
“Looking at it, one hand seems to be missing… Even if it looks like this, I have learned basic medical skills. Also, the doctor who taught me medical skills, even though I didn’t take him as my teacher, came with me, so accepting me as a disciple will help me in many ways.”
After Sarah finished speaking, the councilor who was with the escorts stepped forward and slightly bowed his head toward the fireman.
“This is Gil-tae, the exclusive doctor of the saga guild.”
“uh! Aren’t you a compliment?”
At that time, Pyeon-won recognized Gil-tae and pretended to know him.
When Pyeon-won, who was the imperial palace councilor, pretended to know, the painter looked at Gil-tae with a slightly surprised expression.
Giltae also recognized the flat circle and widened his eyes in surprise.
“No, why are you here?”
“I am out of office, so I can be anywhere. Aren’t you the one who should be in the imperial palace?”
“Pykta also resigned, but how can a low-level protester like me survive? After Pyungta resigned, I also resigned and left the imperial palace.”
“Are you the court physician?”
When the fireman asked, Gil-tae nodded.
“yes. When I was in the imperial palace, I heard a lot about Congressman Hwa’s reputation, but I never had a chance to see him. It’s an honor to meet you in a place like this.”
“Ah yes.”
The fireman didn’t feel sorry for Sarah, but he felt sorry for Gil Tae and the escort officers she brought.
Sarah, who was watching the fireman’s eyes, pushed the box in front of her back in front of the fireman.
“As I came, I heard that most of the injured were receiving treatment for trauma, promising a future date. If you have disciples who are wealthy… you will not be needy to do good.”
The painter glanced at the box she was holding out again, and then, not paying attention, asked Sarah.
“Hmm~. You seem to have grown up quite precious… If you become my disciple, you have to do all kinds of dirty work, but can you?”
“I can do anything if I can have the member I admired as my teacher.”
“What good. Then, after learning medicine under me for a month, let’s decide whether or not to continue learning.”
The fireman thought she wouldn’t last three days, let alone a month.
* * *
When Sara first came to ask her to become a fireman’s disciple, Pyeon-seon thought she would be seduced.
However, she became a temporary disciple, and from the next day began to do hard work and learn medicine.
Since the painter is the same woman, Pyeon-seon was given full responsibility for her basic education.
“You are older than me. I wish you well in the future.”
Until they became formal disciples, they were not allowed to use titles such as sister-in-law and sister-in-law, so the two decided to call them older sisters and younger sisters, covering their ages.
“I really wish you well. There are a lot of strange patients and a lot of bad things, but it’s worth it.”
“Yes, that’s why I want to become a member of parliament.”
Pyeonseon actually didn’t like Sarah very much, even though she was kind.
‘No matter how you look at it, it’s a fox. If I pull my tail at Master… I’ll have to cut it off and throw it away.’
Pyeonseon concealed his intentions, asked her about medical knowledge and explained various things to do.
Sarah, who had been by Pyeon-seon’s side all day doing the work that Pyeon-seon asked her to do and assisting her, stopped accepting patients around evening, and pointed to the operating room, which was covered by a tent.
“Sister, it looks like he treats very serious patients over there… Can I see you? I am very curious.”
“To watch you run when you can’t even walk yet? Arthur.”
“I can’t even walk properly yet, but I need to watch him run so that he can run well later. Please let me go inside. yes.”
“Hmm~. If you ask Master first and give him permission, I will take you in.”
“I already begged Master, but he was rejected.”
“So are you begging me now?”
“yes.”
“If Master says no, I won’t let you in either.”
“How can I not? I am very curious.”
“no. And why are you so clumsy when you say you learned acupuncture from the imperial court physician?”
“It’s because I haven’t learned it in a while.”
“I hear you’ve been interested in medicine since long ago?”
“I was interested in medicine, but I didn’t want to take an ordinary doctor as my teacher, so I didn’t learn medicine until now. At least Gil said he came from the imperial palace, so I hired him as an exclusive doctor and learned medical skills.”
“phew-! Compared to his skills, his clothes are quite flimsy. Take a good look at the patient with a twisted neck like this…”
Pyeonseon explained and set the acupuncture needle, but Sarah’s attention was still on the operating tent.
‘I should go inside quickly so I can report to the elders… I guess I’ll have to try to trick the wrong boy.’
-If Master forbade it, I can’t allow it either. If you wait a little bit, you will be able to enter the operating room.
-sorry. If Master won’t let me in, I won’t be able to take him in either. I understand what you’re curious about, but don’t be too impatient to follow along…
“Damn it!”
Sarah, who had been rejected by Oboe and Bun-ah one after another, came to a place where there were no people and frowned.
‘She’s the same woman, so she can refuse my request, but to hear that even those guys refuse my request… It’s ridiculous.’
Sarah was well aware of how pretty she was.
For a woman, beauty could be a weapon sharper than a sword.
However, when the weapon didn’t work on the fireman, then on the wrong person and the beon-a, he was angry, but his pride was hurt even more.
He even wondered if it was because his beauty was pushed aside by Pyeonseon.
Sarah took out a hand mirror and redecorated her face.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Please…..
Then suddenly, I heard the screams of many people, and the medical room became noisy.
“what? Did the wounded come all at once?”
Sara hurried to the doctor’s office and clucked her tongue at the sight of the wounded pouring in on stretchers from several wagons.
“How many injured people!”
Sarah hurried to Pyeonseon.
While she was gone, Pyeon-seon was receiving patients with blood dripping from his head even though his face was covered in blood and was wrapped in bandages.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu …”
Pyeonseon quickly cut the bandages with scissors and poured distilled alcohol on the bloody head.
“Bo death penalty! This person must be seen by Master.”
Pyeonseon put acupuncture points on the patient’s neck, head and shoulders, and pressed the bleeding area with a cold wet towel.
“Master went into the operating room with a man who had just been hit by three arrows. Sister-in-law will take care of it if it is difficult.”
“Then the death penalty helps me.”
“Can’t you see I’m crazy busy right now too?”
Pyeon-seon turned her head to Bun-ah, then let out a long sigh and looked around.
Not only Bun-ah, but no one was busy with the sudden rush of injured people, including the paramedics, the chiefs of escorts, and the executioners.
“Sara. Come and help me.”
“yes.”
Pyeonseon called Sarah, the only one who wasn’t busy, to press the patient’s broken head instead of him.
“You have to squeeze very hard.”
“yes.”
Sarah was dazed, but hurriedly pressed the patient’s head.
When her hands were free, Pyeonseon gave the patient an anesthetic and immediately called two servants to open the operating room tent.
“Just hold down the patient’s head and follow him.”
stop.
For a moment, Sara’s steps stopped.
“Unnie, this is an operating room, so I can’t enter.”
“What kind of nonsense is a person dying? I’m busy, so come in quickly.”
“yes! Ah yes.”
With the force of the plane, Sarah could not delay any longer and entered the tent.
When Sarah entered the tent, she quickly checked what was there.
‘All sorts of knives on the cot… What are those sharp needles? I don’t think it’s saliva? And why are there so many lamps lit?’
“What are you doing. We have to put the patient down.”
“Ah yes.”
“Be alert because you have to repair the severed temporal artery.”
“What is the oversight?”
“There is such a thing. I don’t have time to answer questions, so just do as I’m told.”
“yes yes.”
While the patient passed out under the influence of the anesthetic, Pyeonseon prepared for surgery by putting several irons on a charcoal fire and threading a needle.
Sarah listened closely to the sounds coming from the tent next to her.
-Oh my God, an arrow pierced my stomach.
-The arrowhead is blocking the hole for stomach acid to come out of. If he wasn’t still alive, he’d be dead.
-Don’t cut it any further. Nerves are hidden in the mesentery.
-Ah yes.
“The patient is asleep. Sarah, it’s enough now, so stop holding back and put on your scrubs.”
Just then, Pyeonseon approached with a small knife.
Before she knew it, she was wearing a hat, mask, and even gloves.
“yes.”
While Sarah was dressing, Pyeonseon dug through the bloody head wound and cut more of her scalp with a knife to find a broken blood vessel that had been hidden.
Click click click.
When he squeezed the temporal artery with the gel, the blood that had been pouring like a fountain stopped in an instant.
“Phew~. It is fortunate that the blood vessels are hidden in the expected places. Sara, pour some more spirits here.”
“Is it distilled liquor? Which is the distilled spirit?”
