Episode 159 The first practice
students entered and the proper lecture began.
It would have been too much for them to follow the unheard of professional and systematic techniques, but surprisingly they followed the class well.
Those who took the free lecture in the first place had basic knowledge, so they were able to follow along well.
Ray, who had been teaching for two weeks after the entrance ceremony, decided to give them their first practice.
‘If I have to explain it for 100 days, it’s not as good as seeing it once.’
The students were understandably puzzled when they were called to the academy’s internal practice room instead of the lecture hall as in any other lecture.
They didn’t know anything properly yet, but did they already call them to the practice room to practice?
‘It is a doctor who treats the injured.’ There were many students who had received Ray’s injection education and did not have any objection to cutting human skin.
It is not uncommon for some of them to participate in wars and kill people directly, or to participate in subjugation as nobles and kill monsters.
When I arrived at the practice room, I saw the professor sitting on the podium.
However, the animal placed on the desk stands out more than its appearance.
“…pig?”
“It’s a pig.”
At first glance, it’s a pig.
It was said that it was a practice, so I thought it would come out at about an orc level, but it was slightly less than expected.
The girls with weak stomachs turned their heads.
I’ve seen pork served as a dish often, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it up close like this.
To be honest, it looks very disgusting.
I didn’t want to put a knife on something like that.
Eventually, they woke up from the pig and lowered their heads as soon as they met eyes with Ray.
“Meet the professor.”
“Meet the professor.”
Ray nodded at the belated greeting.
“Find a seat as written on the blackboard and sit down. Today, we group together according to the given number and dissect it.”
“…Are you talking about dissection?”
A female student asked again.
There is tension in your voice.
“Are you scared?”
“…To be honest, I’m scared.”
“Get used to it.”
Ray said that without playfulness and slowly stood up from the podium where he was sitting.
I looked around and it seemed like everything was there.
There were currently less than 100 people preparing for practice in the practice room.
Ray divided the entrants of more than two hundred into two classes.
It was because it was easier to give a little more lecture.
They were made into a class of 100, and compared to other academies, they were a large enough number to fit into one class, but it was unavoidable.
One professor and two hundred students.
It’s because the number of people who can properly teach while progressing as much as possible right now when there are no talented people to teach is divided in half.
Ray stood in front of the pig on the desk.
Pigs that appear to be already in deep sleep will be dissected in the future.
He washed his hands clean and put on improved white cloth gloves.
A glove independently developed by the Holy Kingdom for the Medical Academy.
It wasn’t like a modern latex glove, but the gloves were well made enough to make sense of wearing gloves.
Of course, no matter how much fabric it is, you can’t wash it and use it again.
he said looking at the pig.
“Do not forget that advances in medicine were made because of the sacrifice of this life prior to the full-scale dissection. So don’t miss a single moment and watch closely.”
As he spoke, the eyes of the students focused on his hand and the pig.
In Ray’s hand, a scalpel that looked like a small dagger was clutched.
Even though it must have looked unfamiliar, there was no hesitation in parting the pig’s skin.
The pig’s stomach was slashed with a scalpel.
Some students frowned.
Maybe it’s the kind of person who isn’t used to it.
Tilt the scalpel that had cut open the belly slightly to the side and separate the skin and fat muscles of the pig.
The process is so neat.
It is to the point where you wonder if the pigskin, which does not have any superfluities, was made by a skilled veteran butcher.
After that, the ribs were cut out, and the internal organs were glimpsed.
Without hesitation, Ray drew a diagonal line on his side and lower abdomen.
Then, the pig’s abdomen opened wide, and the organs were clearly visible.
“These are the organs I heard through pictures and explanations. Looking at it in person, the colors are quite diverse, right?”
“…yes.”
“To explain in order from the top…”
He turned the scalpel upward and made an incision in the neck.
“These from the top to the neck of the salivary gland are the internal jugular vein and the pseudo jugular vein. The thymus gland below it is a lymphatic immune organ that was explained the other day, and when it becomes an adult, a significant part of it turns into fat.”
It can be said to be miraculous because the hands move at a constant speed while explaining.
In addition, while moving the scalpel without a break, he avoids unnecessary things like a ghost.
That’s why there are no unnecessary wounds. That delicate hand somehow seemed to overlap with swordsmanship.
As Ray’s hand gradually moved downward, it began to pick up speed.
“The lungs have vocal chords and esophageal airways attached together, so separate them carefully. As you can see, the left lung is smaller than the right lung. Unlike the right, the left side also has a heart, so this is what happened. That heart is…”
I said, gently cutting out the lungs and opening them so that I could see the heart in detail.
“It looks like this, and this slightly bluish thing is the atrium, and what looks like a hole is the ventricle. The area occupied by the ventricles is much larger than the atria.”
“…”
“The top of the ventricle is the right ventricle, and the bottom is the left ventricle.
Ray opened the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta.
When I looked inside, I saw something that looked like cartilage or ligament, which is the meniscus.
The scalpel in his hand passed the diaphragm, which was attached below the heart and lungs, to the organs further down.
The peritoneal cavity, spleen, umbilical vein, and genitourinary tract were incised and shown, and they accepted it without difficulty, perhaps because their eyes were accustomed to it.
However, there was one thing that caught on, and it was that they felt like black magicians who manufactured chimeras.
In the first place, opening and touching corpses is the main specialty of black magicians.
No matter how much he is a professor, he is a saint before that.
The picture was a little strange because such a person was doing things that black magicians would do in the practice room.
After finishing the pig’s dissection, Ray put the scalpel down.
“Anatomy feels like this. Divide and classify each part as described. We’re going to divide the groups into points so don’t hold each other back.”
“yes.”
“Start dissecting immediately from Article 1 to Article 5. Give me an hour.”
“All right.”
Ray sat on the podium and looked around at everyone.
However, contrary to his own words to go into dissection, there was no Joe who went into dissection in earnest.
he waited patiently.
It’s my first time doing it, so it’s not unreasonable to be hesitant.
Maybe he’s thinking about it because he thinks he has to do it perfectly more than anyone else.
he is a generous man Waiting for five minutes was not a problem.
However, when they started a quiet fight and made me wait for fifteen minutes, I couldn’t stand it any longer.
The pig isn’t dead, it’s just asleep. So, if you’re going to dissect it, it’s better to do it quickly.
If you sit still and suck your finger with the leather open like now, you won’t survive even if the sword master comes, not a pig.
Ray, a self-proclaimed meek and patient man, exploded.
“You bastards! I’m going to kill the pig!”
With his screams, the dissection of the five groups began in earnest.
Anatomy feels like black magic, so no one has started hastily, but if you keep hesitating, magic will come flying from behind.
The fire immediately fell on his feet, so without hesitation, he grabbed a scalpel and dissected the pig.
“Did you say this was a lung…?”
“oh!”
“omg! What if I cut out my lungs?”
“I’m sorry. I made a mistake while opening the ribs…”
A lot of mistakes happened between the five groups.
Even if you know the term, it is natural because you are not familiar with it.
I didn’t know exactly where things were, so I had no choice but to proceed with the dissection based on what I had learned so far.
“My… my hands are shaking.”
“Calm down. We’ll take care of the lower part, so at least dissect the heart and lungs first.”
“You can’t touch that. Looking at what the professor did earlier, there was a kidney hidden somewhere.”
“I’ll be careful.”
It’s nice to see them working together and working together.
When six or seven people gather to talk about their thoughts and start to overcome difficulties (?), the dissection becomes plausible before anyone knows it.
Of course, from Ray’s point of view, it’s very messy.
It’s so dirty that I don’t know if it’s the lungs or the intestines.
It’s something you just need to know the structure and get used to it, but if it’s such a poor hand technique, you can’t help but feel sorry for the pig.
Less than an hour later, one group spoke confidently.
“Professor, the dissection is over.”
“I can’t believe what we did. ha ha ha.”
At their words of joy, Ray glanced at them.
It’s a really unbelievable dissection.
It is only explained that the pig was made with minced meat.
In the case of heart and kidney, I could give it a passing grade, but the rest was too crude.
Even though I did it seriously, it’s like this.
Ray spoke slowly to them.
“The heart is well divided into ventricles and atria. The artery is well drawn and the location of the pulmonary artery is clearly visible. I took out the kidneys neatly without any superfluities, so I passed. But the rest is too short. It’s so messed up that I wonder if it was dissected with care about the location and texture? This is inconsistent.”
Their shoulders, which were full of confidence at his words, lost strength.
Since the first group that had been playing well was like this, there was nothing to say about the facial expressions of the remaining four groups.
No, not only them, but also the expressions of the remaining 60 people who had not yet participated in the dissection were also quite calm.
I was standing in the back and admiring their dissection work, but the professor’s evaluation was extremely cold.
Well, if you compare the pig he disassembled later with their own pig, the difference is very clear.
I was worried about dissecting it myself, but a desire to be praised emerged from one side of my heart.
At that time, there were those who stood out in the fourth and fifth groups. There was one male student and one female student, and their hand speed was a little different from those around them.
It was as if he had done these things before.
The series of procedures to trim organs neatly and remove unnecessary fat are quite professional.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were leading all the dissection work.
‘Is it quite right?’
Ray looked at them and said.
“When you do dissection, it’s difficult if everyone doesn’t do that much.”
It’s really difficult. You can’t always get a pig, but if you make it with minced meat like this.
The two men and women’s expressions brightened a little at Ray’s compliment.
On the contrary, Ray’s expression was puzzled.
‘I don’t think it’s a skill I’ve done once or twice… I’d better keep an eye on it just in case.’
