Doctor Player Chapter 163
Raymond first contacted the Magic Tower.
‘I need to get ready. It’s not an easy operation.’
Cataract.
A clouding substance is caught in the eye lens (lens) through which light passes.
If the window keeps getting dirty, eventually the lens of the eye will become like that.
The solution was simple.
Remove the dirty lens (lens) and insert a new lens (artificial lens).
‘In modern Earth, home of medicine, it’s a simple operation. One of the most basic surgeries in ophthalmology. But not here. There are some difficulties.’
First of all, the limitations of the equipment.
There are no specialized surgical microscopes required for eye surgery, nor ultrasonic liquid emulsifying equipment to dissolve the hard lens into liquid.
It is not possible to use ‘ultrasonic liquid emulsification’, which is the core of cataract surgery.
The ocular lens had to be removed using only a scalpel.
And another reason.
It was Raymond’s skill.
‘I mainly learned and mastered major surgery. such a minor area. Especially in ophthalmology surgery, my experience is sorely lacking.’
Medicine classifies each major subject in detail.
Among them, fields directly related to life are ‘major’.
Fields that are relatively less related to life are classified as ‘minor’.
Ophthalmology belongs to a minor major, and Raymond’s academic skill proficiency in ‘Minor Medicine’ was currently grade C.
Now you’ve barely reached the beginner level.
‘Actually, even on the modern Earth, the fields of major and minor departments are completely divided. Anyway, it’s still not an easy field for me.’
Besides that, there was another problem.
It was the preparation of an artificial lens to replace the cloudy eye lens.
‘We need to prepare an artificial lens that is harmless to the human body.’
If a lens was inserted and it caused inflammation in the eye, it was over.
‘There are materials that seem possible.’
So Raymond contacted the Magic Tower.
Hearing that he had contacted him, Shameron, the branch manager, appeared directly in the crystal ball.
-Oh oh! Welcome, Wizard Raymond! Are you thinking of finally learning magic formally?
“That’s not the case, but I contacted you because I have a magic tool to order.”
Shameron opened her mouth with a fan beyond the crystal ball.
-It’s such a pity. Please tell me anyway. This is a request from Raymond, who will later become a pillar of our mage tower, so we will serve you at a special discounted price.
“Can you process the white crystal into a lens shape?”
-A white crystal?
“It should be a white crystal that does not contain mana instead of you.”
white crystal.
It is a type of magic stone.
It was a magic crystal that felt like glass because it was transparent.
‘Exactly, it feels similar to transparent plastic.’
There was a reason Raymond pointed out this magic stone.
Because of its unique beauty, white crystals were often transplanted into their own skin by wizards.
However, no one has ever had a problem with the implanted white crystal.
‘Usually, when transplanting foreign substances into the body, problems arise, but there is no such thing. The white crystal is likely to be a non-irritating material like artificial implants on the modern earth.’
After hearing Raymond’s explanation, Shameron flapped his fan.
-Oh dear. You have to make something very difficult with rare materials. The price seems expensive. Looks like 30,000 pesos. It’s usually more expensive than that, but since you’re eligible for a special discount, we’ll match it for 30,000 pence.
30,000 PEN at a discount!
It was an outrageous price.
But Raymond was unfazed.
‘It’s 30,000 pennies with some kind of discount. Even gourd is enough.’
[I confirm that the opponent is ‘truthful’!]
[The truth-special skill ‘making hugu’ is activated!]
“Let’s do it for 3,000 pena.”
-yes? That’s not okay!
“Even though it’s a white crystal with no mana in it?”
-that is…It was my first time processing white crystals like that. You should ask your favorite Meister.
Raymond snorted.
“All right. Then, could you please contact the Mage Tower branch in the Kingdom of Cleaver?”
-yes? The price will be the same there… ….
“No, I want to move the wizard registration there.”
-….
“Just because you’re from the Houston Kingdom doesn’t mean you have to join the Magic Tower branch of the Houston Kingdom. Yes?”
For reference, the branch manager of the magic tower of the neighboring kingdom of Cleaver had a nemesis with Shameron.
-All right. Then, three thousand pennies. Instead, it’s only this time!
“Thank you for your kindness. Please send it as quickly as possible.”
Raymond, who prevented the magic tower from going overboard, let out a sigh.
‘Even 3,000 pennies is expensive. These day robbers.’
I feel it every time I trade, but I took a huge profit because I monopolized the magic of the magic tower.
‘There’s not much time left until I get ripped off like this.’
Raymond’s eyes lit up.
‘Once Yeongji settles down, he will nurture his own medical industry.’
Cultivate the medical industry!
It’s a thought I started doing after being promised the position of a feudal lord.
How to revitalize the Lapalde region?
It was not possible to follow the old method.
To revitalize the territory, you had to create something new, a new industry.
While contemplating how to do it, what came to my mind was fostering the medical industry.
‘Can’t medical knowledge be used to make money?’
This thought occurred to me!
‘I can use my medical knowledge to make and sell products!’
Several medications, for example.
How about distributing painkillers for workers suffering from chronic pain?
First aid kits for drivers?
What antibiotics are used for patients with infectious diseases?
Or a skin care product for a lady or a hair balm for a bald gentleman.
Of course, there won’t be a lot of demand for either one right now.
Because the standard of all treatment on the continent is Heal.
But it won’t continue to do so.
Raymond was sure.
‘I’m going to spread medicine across the continent. As time goes by, the medical market will turn into an enormous market.’
So he had this plan in mind.
To make the Lapalde region the mecca of the medical industry!
If he monopolizes the medical industry in advance, when the medical market grows in the future, he may become the best man on the continent!
So, even when he requested the production of medical devices from the Magic Tower, all patent rights were registered in his name.
‘I’m going to start making medical devices with my own hands soon. Just wait until then, bad guys of the Mage Tower. If you guys order something, I’ll give you a special price!’
For now, that’s after the Lafald region is stable.
Now the eyes of Lord Mevinson the Wise had to be treated.
The order arrived and Raymond started the operation.
* * *
“Let’s get started.”
Mevinson, lying on the operating table, asked in a trembling voice.
“Am I really stabbing you in the eye?”
“Are you concerned?”
“Oh no! In fact, I am very worried, but I can overcome it!”
Raymond said to reassure him.
“Do not worry. There will be good results.”
Sleeping pills were administered.
Mevinson thought as he closed his eyes in his slumber.
‘If I get my eyes back… ….’
That was the moment I thought about it.
I heard Raymond’s low voice.
“I will start the operation.”
Mevinson was fully conscious and the operation began.
* * *
Jjiik.
A thin, thin scalpel made an incision above the pupil.
Hanson, who was assisting, flinched.
Hanson realized his mistake and apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
Now that Hanson has accumulated experience, he didn’t even flinch at the rather harsh scene, but the sight of cutting his eyes with a knife seemed nervous.
‘It’s not even a crowd. I’m nervous too.’
Raymond drew in a breath.
He lacks experience in eye surgery compared to other fields.
Instead, they decided to make up for the lack of experience with overwhelming ‘hand movements’.
[The skill ‘Seojeon’s hand movements’ is manifested!]
[The skill ‘Seojeon’s experience (C+)’ is manifested!]
[Stats]
Sense: 65 → 81
With the help of the skill, the sense value has risen to 81!
Skills far beyond those of a general specialist began to unfold at the fingertips.
It feels like a so-called genius specialist in general surgery is performing eye surgery.
Of course, that didn’t mean the surgery was easy.
Many challenges awaited.
‘Unlike the modern Earth, you can’t use an ultrasonic vibrator, so you have to open the incision wide.’
ultrasonic vibrator.
If you can use that equipment like the modern Earth, cataract surgery will be greatly simplified.
After melting the lens with ultrasonic vibration, it is finished by sucking it into the tube.
But now Raymond had to do the work of removing the lens with only a scalpel.
Of course, it is more difficult and has many complications.
So about 1 cm.
An incision of exactly 9.5 mm was made.
Now you need to remove the lens from the pouch through this hole and clean the cloudy area.
‘It’s hard to see.’
Raymond groaned.
The only thing he lacked was an ultrasonic vibrator.
There are no specialized microscopes for ophthalmic surgery.
It had to be done with only the loupe, a crude spectacle-shaped magnifying glass made in-house.
‘The incision is bleeding profusely.’
To make things worse, the blood vessels were over-distributed.
“Hanson, wipe it well so that the blood doesn’t seep inside.”
“Yes Master.”
There was tension in the operating room.
Raymond carefully moved the scalpel.
‘You have to be careful. Don’t accidentally damage the pouch that covers the lens.’
It required unhurried prudence.
But Raymond ran into another setback.
The lens was too hard.
‘It’s so white that the lens is stuck firmly in the pocket. It’s not easy to remove it without getting hurt like this.’
Raymond bit his lip.
It was not an easy case.
In this case, if you play with the scalpel incorrectly, you may seriously injure your pocket. The back of the pouch may rupture.
If that happened, it would be difficult to recover with Raymond’s current ophthalmic skills.
In the worst case, you might have to cut out the entire pocket that surrounds the lens.
‘Then the artificial lens cannot be inserted. Your eyesight will hardly come back.’
Raymond bit his lip.
‘I will definitely complete the surgery successfully and get my eyes back.’
I moved the scalpel with firm determination.
‘So I’ll make you work hard for me!’
With that promise, I went ahead with the surgery.
Fortunately, thanks to sensory readings that far exceed the level of a generalist, I was able to continue digging the lens out of my pocket without any mistakes.
But when the lens was cut halfway through, Raymond ran into trouble.
‘…It’s hard to see.’
It was so deep I couldn’t see it at all.
“Hanson light more inward.”
“Yes Master.”
I tried to secure my sight somehow through the lightning magic tool, but it was useless.
I had no choice but to move the scalpel as carefully as possible, but something unexpected happened.
It almost ripped the back of the pocket!
Complications that must be avoided are almost certain to occur.
‘It can’t be like this. I have to come up with a way.’
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
‘If I had a surgical microscope, I would have been able to see that part.’
But you can’t create something out of nothing.
I had to do it somehow with the means I had now.
