I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon Chapter 42

Episode 42. Different medical expenses for the same disease (price) (1)

“You mean here?”

Among the stems of the femoral artery and vein pointed out by the painter, Obo pressed the center of the stem that reached the ankle with both palms overlapped.

“No, don’t use your palm like that, but press your two thumbs together like this.”

“Like this.”

“huh. Try pressing a little harder in that state.”

“About this.”

“Yeah, stay still.”

“yes.”

When Obo pressed the artery on the side of Lieutenant Jo’s ankle, the fireman drew a knife and cut a part of the artery lengthwise and slightly longer.

Pipit.

Blood splattered as part of the artery was cut, even though Obo was pressing on it.

‘We need to put penicillin in as soon as possible.’

The painter used the mask he was wearing to roughly wipe the blood from his eyes and cut open the pig intestines containing penicillin.

Then, the cut part of the pork intestine was pushed into the cut part of the artery and squeezed.

Not all of the penicillin fluid went in, and some of it flowed out of the blood vessel, but it was not possible to pick it up.

The painter squeezed another penicillin in and hurriedly sealed the blood vessel.

Whoa~.

‘It’s a really ignorant method that can’t be done twice, but I can’t come up with anything other than this. Let’s think about it a little more after the operation.’

The painter said to Obo after finishing the suturing.

“Boy, now that it’s all over, relax your thumb a little bit.”

“yes.”

When Obo released the pressure, the artery he had cut swelled up.

‘Blood doesn’t leak.’

“You can let go now.”

“yes.”

When Obo let go of his hand, the painter checked once more that the blood vessel hadn’t burst and then began to suture the surgical sites.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..”

At that time, Lieutenant Jo’s breathing changed to a very stuffy one.

Ohbo noticed that Lieutenant Jo’s breathing had changed before the fireman and hurriedly said,

“Mr. Crab foam is flowing from Inspector Jo’s mouth? I feel like I can’t even breathe.”

“what! This shit… Damn it.”

The fireman opened his mouth to see Inspector Jo, who was out of breath while he was suturing.

No, I was trying to widen it.

However, no matter how hard I was clenching my teeth, I couldn’t open them.

‘I had a feeling that I mixed a little bit of cannabis vinegar in a hurry, but I thought it would be okay because I am a person with good basic stamina…’

Actually, this was not a shock.

The things that Lieutenant Jo had relaxed the muscles in the neck that had been contracted internally were in the process of returning to their original places. The fireman heard it, but he didn’t know what it was, so he was just acting according to his experience.

“My tongue is rolled up and my airway is blocked. Oh boy, roll some cloth over there.”

“This one.”

“hurry.”

“yes.”

When Ohbo rolled the cloth, the painter tried to open Lieutenant Cho’s mouth again.

However, the power of the fireman was still weak, so it did not spread.

“What is it?”

At that time, Senator Bong and Gunhu Hwang came in feeling that something was wrong.

“This mouth won’t open.”

“It’s typical tetanus symptoms. The neck is all stiff. If you try to open it by force, it won’t work.”

Papapapapapapapapapapapapapa…..

Senator Bong took out a needle and placed dozens of needles on Lieutenant Cho’s face, neck and chest.

Normally, the hour hand is done carefully and carefully, but the hour hand was very fast, probably because the situation was urgent.

When Rep. Bong let go of his acupuncture needles, he could feel Inspector Jo’s closed mouth loosening.

The fireman widened his eyes in surprise.

The areas of Bong’s acupuncture were not in the acupuncture book he gave. In addition, the placenta was a part that was not even in the acupuncture model of the modern oriental clinic in the painter’s memory.

‘The sternocleidomastoid process, trapezius muscle, deltoid muscle, pectoralis major muscle… All places are the starting and ending points and connecting points of the cervical muscles!’

When I compared the area where the acupuncture was placed and the muscles, I guessed what the principle was like.

‘I was thinking of simply applying the acupuncture needle to the nerve map, but it can be adjusted by directly stimulating the muscles there.’

A new principle of acupuncture was suddenly realized.

Stimulating the muscles cannot cure the disease, but during surgery it seemed to be more helpful than touching the nerves.

‘Come to think of it, the narrowing of the blood vessels is also a point that stimulates nerves and muscles at the same time! I was neglecting my muscles compared to my nerves.’

The parts where Congressman Bong placed acupuncture were the muscles related to the mouth.

The painter couldn’t think long, but after understanding the general principles, he quickly opened his mouth and put a rolled cloth between his molars to keep his mouth from closing.

And with another cloth, I wiped the foreign substances deep inside my throat.

Even though the painter did so, Professor Jo’s breath was still not breathing well.

‘Somehow, it seems that hemp liquid also affects the autonomic nerves that move the respiratory muscles…’

Feeding just a little more was bringing a great danger.

Hwabu hurriedly opened his mouth to Congressman Bong. When the autonomic nerves did not move smoothly, the only option was to forcefully move the muscles.

“Congressman Bong and Lieutenant Cho, please give me artificial respiration.”

The fireman himself could do artificial respiration, but he had to suture his legs.

Hearing the fireman’s words, Congressman Bong was surprised and made a confused expression.

Although he had already learned CPR and artificial respiration with Congressman Seok, he had never done it against a person.

“Do this artificial respiration?”

“Yes, I am in a hurry. Quickly.”

“Ah okay.”

Congressman Bong was reluctant, but he had no one else to do without artificial respiration.

Sup woo woo woo …..

After pressing Lieutenant Joe’s chest to let out his breath, he held his nose, kissed him, and began to breathe.

When Congressman Bong gave artificial respiration, the fireman hurriedly began to suture Professor Cho’s feet.

‘Fortunately, he’s doing well as I taught him.’

The fire department finished the suturing with peace of mind when Congressman Bong did the artificial respiration without any mistakes, and as a result, Lieutenant Cho’s breathing returned.

* * *

‘Aww…’

Inspector Jo regained consciousness and looked around.

It was the main room of a shabby doctor’s room. I was able to recognize it right after I opened my eyes.

After a little while, he remembered that he had passed out after drinking the poisoned wine the painter had given him.

‘I’m on the strong side of drinking, but I lost my mind… It’s almost poison, not strong liquor.’

When Lieutenant Cho regained consciousness and was able to move his body, the first thing he looked at was his left foot.

‘I really didn’t cut it!’

The moment I confirmed that my feet were still there, my heart felt full and I felt fortunate.

‘Good thing, but can you really cure tetanus without amputating your leg? In return, I agreed to teach you qigong… but I’m a little uneasy.’

For a moment, I wondered if I could evaluate that Qigong and the treatment of tetanus without amputation had the same value.

Naegigong, which allowed me to exert more power than the criminal, was precious, but it could not be compared to the ankle to be amputated.

‘Maybe the painter had to amputate his leg because he wanted to learn qigong, but he didn’t want to do it, and he wanted to treat it? Wouldn’t the tetanus get worse and he’d die like his brother? Ah~ Why do I keep having such bad thoughts? Once you’ve decided to believe it, you have to believe it until the end… but it’s hard to calm your mind!’

The fireman’s confident eyes came to mind, but his disturbed heart did not calm down.

Inspector Jo tried to get up from the bed.

Stumble.

For a moment, my head was dizzy, and for some reason, my body was powerless.

“Keugh what is it? Why are you like this?”

“uh! Are you awake, Professor?”

Then, hearing the noise, Prince Hwang opened the door and came in.

“Why am I so weak and dizzy?”

“The chemist said earlier that such symptoms appear while the anesthesia wears off. After coming to your senses, lie down for about half an hour and you will be fine.”

“That’s right. By the way, where did the fireman go and where are you?”

“The painter heard that there was an abandoned mine in the vicinity where cool wind came out, so he went out to check it out.”

“You went to an abandoned mine? Well, in the hot summer, the abandoned mine is cool. Oh, come to think of it, I heard from my father that the Songa Merchants Company developed a mine near here in the past, but it failed and suffered great losses. Did they go to that abandoned mine by any chance?”

“I don’t even know that much.”

“I’ll have to check the top of the Songga later. By the way, your mouth seems to be burning. Bring me some water.”

“I told them to drink water after half an hour passed.”

“the water? why?”

“I don’t know why either. Anyway, the chemist said so.”

“Hmm, it would be better to do as he tells you. I get it. Don’t put up with it.”

As time passed, Lieutenant Cho felt that the dizziness disappeared and his energy returned.

‘uh! Come to think of it, he was talking even though he didn’t use his inner energy to open his mouth.’

Lieutenant Jo noticed one of the changes in his body while having breakfast, wanting to gather his energy rather than lying down and waiting for the time to pass.

‘The muscles around the neck are still stiff, but it’s not enough to use the inner energy. Are you really curing tetanus without amputating your feet?’

Little by little, the anxiety disappeared and there was hope, not expectation.

* * *

“Wow, that’s cool. No, it would be more accurate to say that it is cold at this level.”

The fireman was at an abandoned mine less than a 30-minute walk from Sochon.

As Gyowi Jo said, this abandoned mine was once developed by the Songga guild as a can of gold, but abandoned when no gold came out.

The reason the painter was so fond of the coolness of the abandoned mine was not that he had found a cool place in the summer.

Abandoned mines were comparable to modern refrigerators. If filled with ice in winter, it can be used as a stone ice storage in summer. Of course, this is a story if this abandoned mine is owned by a fireman.

Once abandoned, the painter was thinking of storing penicillin or distilled hemp leaf juice here.

“You are very cool. I also come here often in the summer when I am not working.”

At Dan’s words, the five chiefs who were supporting him reprimanded him.

“My friend, if there was a place this good, you wouldn’t have to teach me a little bit.”

“You are busy making a living, do you have time to come and hang out in a place like this?”

“Can we come over once in a while when it’s hot?”

“Your whole body is already drenched in sweat just by walking all the way here from your house. The sweat will cool off in a little while, but you will be wet with sweat on the way home again, so why are you wasting your time?”

“Kuhm, listening to you, that makes sense again. Hehe, it doesn’t seem like a place I come to often.”

“My villagers know it’s cool here, but they rarely come.”

The painter clicked his tongue as he listened to the two of them.

‘If it’s a place where people often come and go, can’t you bring medicine? But it’s best for storing medicine. Does it sound like a lot of money if I borrow this?’

The fireman made a torch and went deep into the abandoned mine.

Groundwater was flowing from the abandoned mine, and the deep inside was so cold that white steam came out of the mouth.

‘It’s quite deep. Is it safe up to this place where the wooden beams are built, and is there a danger of collapsing ahead?’

The place where the beam was not built continued for about 10 meters more, but there were already several collapsed traces, so I did not go in there and only looked at it with a torch.

‘There are signs that people have come and gone, but they really rarely come. If it’s an abandoned mine like this, wouldn’t it be expensive?’

When the painter came out after looking around the abandoned mine, Ojang opened his mouth with a curious expression.

“Gongja. But why are you so happy about this abandoned mine?”
