Doctor Player Chapter 18
At that time, a middle-aged man with a bad impression sitting in the center said to Raymond.
“Let’s spread out the heels.”
It was a high-pressure tone.
‘Are you Count Garrinson, who is in charge of this test?’
Raymond noticed the identity of a middle-aged man.
“All right.”
Fishy.
A candle-like light glowed faintly. The judges laughed even more at the precarious white light that seemed to go out at any moment.
They were the judges who laughed earlier, who were on the same side as Earl Garinson.
“I am embarrassed to see this.”
“Isn’t that much worse than an F grade? Is the healing power correct?”
Earl Garinson also spoke in a sharp tone.
“Looks like you don’t even have the minimum qualifications to take the promotion test. What are you thinking about taking the promotion test with such healing power? Is it funny to treat patients?”
It was a drizzle.
If he had been another apprentice, his complexion would have turned white.
However, it was not Raymond who was expressing a strong will.
‘This situation. I was expecting it.’
Now it’s a test interview.
So it was obvious that the attacks would focus on his healing power.
So, Raymond had already thought about how he would respond in such a situation.
‘The question is, how much more persuasively can I present my argument?’
It was fortunate that the heart of steel helped.
If it wasn’t for that, I would have been so nervous that I wouldn’t have been able to talk properly.
‘I have to talk as well as possible.’
Thinking so, Raymond drew in a breath.
To be honest, he wasn’t a talker. No, what’s going on with the moon? What could he say so well when he was always scolded and only noticed?
Calmly, his oratorical skills were average.
‘That’s why I’ve prepared it.’
Raymond thought to himself.
Coincidentally, there was a skill on the market that was perfect for this situation, so I bought it in advance.
“I will answer your questions.”
That was the moment when the story came out.
A message popped up.
[The skill ‘Speech’ is manifested!]
[Speech]
Classification: Supportive Skill
Rating: General
Proficiency: D
-You will be able to tell the story better.
– Synergizes with the Heart of Steel when serving patients!
Raymond’s voice involuntarily became calm and firm.
The moment the examiners were startled, Raymond continued.
It is so intense and appealing that even the person who speaks it is surprised.
“First, I will answer the question of whether treating patients is ridiculous. It’s not funny. How could you, as a therapist, think that way? No healer who has watched a dying patient even once would dare to think of such a thing.”
The exam hall was quiet.
Raymond’s voice was heavy and there was sincerity in caring for the patient.
Seeing that sincere look, the examiners could no longer lightly laugh at Raymond.
Earl Garinson was also momentarily speechless before opening his mouth.
“…Do you know that your healing power is not qualified?”
“I know.”
pounding.
Raymond’s heart raced.
I couldn’t believe that he was making such a confident and cool claim.
“I am very aware of my own shortcomings. So I tried even harder. only to save the patient. As much as it lacks, it is several times that of others.”
A moment of silence passed.
They were overwhelmed by Raymond’s words.
Earl Garinson pursed his lips.
‘I tried to give you the lowest score by pressuring me in the interview.’
Things were taking an unexpected turn.
“It doesn’t matter how hard you tried. The important thing is whether or not we can really save the patient.”
It was a cold reply, but Raymond responded like this.
“You are right. I also agree with the count.”
“…!”
“What kind of mind I have and how much effort I put in are all my own. The really important thing is the ability to save the patient! Knowing that well, I studied and tried to find a way to save the patient somehow.”
The examiners swallowed and asked.
“Is that the ancient occult medicine?”
“yes.”
Raymond looked around the examiners.
“As Count Garinson said, the only thing that matters to a healer is to save the patient. Therefore, I thought that the ability to actually save patients was more important than Hill’s rank, so I somehow learned medicine. Don’t the examiners agree with me?”
The examiners had no answer to that question.
Because Raymond wasn’t wrong.
Healing is just a means to save the patient. To regard Hill’s grade, which is merely a tool, as more important than his ability to treat actual patients is a complete overthrow.
The examiners, who were hit hard, shut their mouths, and the atmosphere of the exam hall completely went over to Raymond.
Now they won’t be nitpicking with Raymond’s healing power level anymore.
Of course, that didn’t mean the promotion test was over. The most important step remained.
“You speak well. Yes, the ability to actually treat patients is more important than Hill’s rank. But Sir Raymond, can you really say that you have such power?”
Raymond silently looked at Count Garinson.
It was a stupid question.
“I’m here to prove that.”
“…!”
“Tell me which patient I need to treat.”
Raymond’s outspoken attitude made Earl Garinson’s lips twitch.
‘cheeky. Let’s see. I wonder if you’ll be able to put on such a cheeky expression after seeing the designated patient.’
“Go to the Alping House on Lexington Street. There is a patient for you to treat.”
“All right.”
Raymond lowered his head and turned his back.
Earl Garinson frowned at Raymond’s back.
Raymond’s imposing demeanor touched the plant.
‘bouncer.’
Garinson wanted to plant despair on his cocky face.
“Aren’t you curious about the patient’s disease?”
“What is?”
Earl Garinson opened his mouth in a tone of conversion.
It was as if he was telling them not to be scared after hearing it.
“It’s a bedsore.”
bedsore.
The moment the word spread, an infinitely heavy air settled down in the exam hall.
‘bedsore!’
‘To think that he had to treat such a difficult disease in the promotion test.’
The examiners swallowed saliva.
Not all examiners knew the names of the patients Raymond was supposed to treat.
Some of the examiners, who did not yet know the name of the disease, made faces with stunned faces.
‘If it’s a bedsore, I’ll take this test, but mana! It will definitely fall.’
How terrible is a pressure sore?
It is a disease caused by the skin being crushed, and it can be slightly cured by using a heel.
But that’s for a while. It is a disease in which the flesh rots and recedes and only worsens endlessly.
Wouldn’t even a B+ grade therapist have failed?
But what I didn’t know was Raymond’s reaction. I heard the dreaded disease called bedsores, but there was no reaction.
rather odd. It was a puzzled expression.
“…Bed sores?”
“Yes, as I said beforehand, it is absolutely impossible to change test patients. If you fail to treat that patient, you fail… ….”
“If you treat it, it will pass, right?”
“…huh?”
Earl Garinson’s eyes widened.
Raymond didn’t look desperate at all. Rather a little welcoming?
I even asked this as if to confirm.
“Are you really a bedsore patient?”
“…okay.”
“If you treat that patient, you will definitely pass, right?”
Earl Garinson frowned.
“Yes, if you treat that patient, you will pass….”
There’s no way you could do that! It was the moment I wanted to talk about.
Raymond bowed his head with a very happy face.
“thank you! Then we will go treat the patient!”
“….”
Then, when they saw Raymond quickly disappearing excitedly, the examiners gave blank faces.
“what…? that one?”
They muttered in confusion.
“…Do you not know how difficult pressure sores are?”
“Or what happened to your hair from frustration?”
They couldn’t help but think so.
* * *
Of course, Raymond knew what pressure sores were.
And that too in more detail than anyone on this Leifentina continent. Surely.
‘It’s a bath sore! What a relief!’
Raymond thought of making a flagship if Earl Garinson heard it.
But Raymond was sincere.
‘I was worried about which patient would be assigned. Don’t worry if it’s a bedsore.’
If it was a bedsore, it was possible to treat it with the skill of an ‘inexperienced resident’!
Even in ‘Earth’, bedsores are often treated exclusively at the resident level.
‘But for one reason, Hilo is a disease that is not easy to treat. I heard that even a B+ grade high-level healer failed.’
With that in mind, I arrived at the patient’s location.
“This is it.”
When I opened the door and entered, there was a skinny old man lying on the bed. A musty smell stung my nostrils.
“It smells bad. sorry.”
The old patient’s son Fran said apologetically.
‘They said the bathtub smelled. It sure smells bad.’
Raymond thought to himself.
There was a huge difference between what I knew as ‘knowledge’ and what I actually felt. A disgusting feeling came over me.
However, Raymond did not show his feelings outwardly.
If you show dislike, you will surely get hurt.
“it’s okay. It is natural that the disease is not good. The patient seems to be suffering a lot.”
On the contrary, Raymond’s answer, concerned about the patient, made the guardian look admiring.
‘All the other therapists have been busy frowning. It’s different.’
Then Raymond asked.
“Is your father unable to move at all?”
“It’s been a long time since you’ve been lying down like that because your strength is weakened by your old age.”
Raymond nodded.
This was a typical case of a bedsore patient.
“I’ll look at the wound.”
The employee who followed along returned the patient’s body.
hip. To be precise, there was a huge hole in the flesh of the tailbone!
It was a terrible sight.
The exposed flesh was full of inflammation and turned dirty, with yellow pus oozing out. There were parts that had rotted and turned black here and there.
‘Hmm.’
Raymond swallowed.
The condition was worse than expected.
It was hard to look at her because of her stomach, but she forced herself to endure it.
‘I’m glad though. No bones have been exposed yet. Enough of this… …It’s level 3. I can heal enough with my skills.’
If the bone is exposed and becomes infected, treatment becomes very difficult. In some cases, bones had to be cut.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be that bad.
‘At this level, I can recover quickly if I manage well.’
At that time, the guardian Fran asked in a trembling voice.
“How are you?”
He seemed worried after so many therapists had failed.
“It can be cured.”
“Is that true?!”
Frank’s eyes widened in disbelief.
