Doctor Player Chapter 31
“Do you remember what Sir Raymond said then?”
“Yes, rather than burn these children, burn yourself. And then take the kids. I really couldn’t lift my head.”
“that’s right. He said he would be willing to die as long as he could save the patient.”
Incidentally, Raymond never said anything like that.
Rumors continue to spread across the country.
“I will respect him from now on.”
“Yeah, me too. He’s not just a therapist. There is no one in the world as good as him.”
“I wonder if there was such a person among the princes.”
“But didn’t he say he was an illegitimate son and not a prince?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, he’s incomparably better than the princes who came before.”
That’s how Raymond completely captured the hearts of the people in the slums.
No one doubted Raymond anymore.
To the people of the ghetto, Raymond was ‘our proud healer’.
And that wasn’t all.
After a while something happened that more completely captured the hearts of the poor.
It was the day the patient died at the treatment center.
“no! Hanson, press down with a cloth! hurry! properly!”
“Your senior!”
“At this rate, this patient will die! damn!”
It was a crash.
By the time he arrived at the treatment center, the patient was already bleeding.
The worst severely ill patient who is difficult to save even on ‘Earth’.
There was no way Raymond and Hanson could revive the patient as the patient was in such dire condition that the resuscitation rate was less than half even if the ‘trauma team’ stayed in the operating room all day.
No matter how much he struggled with his hands, it was no use.
In the end, the patient had a cardiac arrest an hour after coming to the treatment center and died after CPR.
“Shit!”
Raymond lowered his head.
He was the first patient to lose.
An inexplicable feeling surged through my chest.
It was depressing, stuffy, upset, and felt like it was about to explode.
-Doctors must learn and grow through patient sacrifice.
A phrase from general medicine came to mind, but it didn’t enter my head.
It just felt like my heart would explode.
‘I don’t want to experience this again.’
Raymond bit his lip hard.
Of course I know.
When you treat a patient, you have no choice but to face this kind of thing at any time.
any therapist or doctor. Because you can’t save all patients.
You will experience this countless times in the future.
The important thing is to do your best.
And it is to bury the patient in the heart and try to prevent the same thing from happening again.
I knew all of that, but I couldn’t help but feel upset right now.
“Shit!”
In the end, Raymond couldn’t hold back the falling tears, and the people in the slums who saw those tears were moved again.
People watched the whole process from the time the patient was brought in to the time he died.
So I was smart enough to know.
How desperately Raymond tried. How much you struggled to save the patient.
People shed tears together.
They thought that even the dead patient would have been greatly comforted by Raymond’s efforts.
Since then, in the Bay Area, Raymond has become a sanctuary that no one can touch.
If you mess with Raymond, you’ll incur the wrath of the entire Bay Area.
People in the Bay Area said to Raymond:
“Isn’t it possible that Raymond-nim is a person sent from heaven for us?”
“It really might be. In fact, I had prayed before.”
“Don’t say anything nonsense.”
People burst into laughter at each other.
For the first time, light dwelled in the Bay Area, which was always full of darkness.
It was small and faint, but it was a warmer light than any light.
Of course, strictly speaking, Raymond is just one therapist.
It has no effect on their lives other than curing the disease.
People in the Bay Area still live in hardship and poverty.
Still, the Bay Area poor found joy in talking about Raymond, just as people find comfort in talking about the person they admired while going through a difficult life.
Then one day.
Raymond heard the message.
[Your reputation has exceeded the standard!]
[You get a new title!]
[Title: ‘Help the poor’ is acquired.]
[Additional effects are obtained by acquiring the title.]
‘Title?’
Raymond blinked.
Come to think of it, there was such an item in the status window.
‘The original title was dirty illegitimate son, right? By the way, side effects?’
Then an explanation came to mind.
[Help the poor]
Description: A title given to those who help the poor.
Title Rating: Village level
side effects:
– Gain great favor from the people in the slums!
– Great influence on the people of the slums!
[Bonus level up according to title acquisition!]
[Get 20 bonus skill points!]
Raymond widened his eyes.
‘Is it good?’
His goal was to build skills and fame in the slums.
The reputation accumulated in this way will be of great help in the future.
‘It feels good too.’
It was a much better title than his nickname ‘dirty illegitimate son’, so it felt like he had been given a surprise gift.
* * *
So, when Raymond was fully settled in the Bay Area, two strangers entered the Bay Area.
“It’s been a while in the Bay Area.”
“That’s right, sir.”
They were middle-aged people with ordinary impressions that you would see everywhere. The clothes they were wearing were also shabby, so there was no big difference between them and the poor.
But even so, I felt a strange feeling that I couldn’t explain. It was because of the elegance that could not be covered even with shabby clothes.
The identities of the two are King Auden and Chancellor Galman!
As I said before, I was going undercover in the Bay Area.
Her appearance was magically changed and she looked completely different.
“By the way, can it be just the two of us? If I go back, that friend will make a fuss again.”
that friend.
It refers to Marquis Aris, the leader of the Royal Knights.
“It’s not the kingdom capital anyway, so what does it matter? And if you bring an escort with you, you won’t be able to sneak properly.”
In response, Galman shook his head as if he couldn’t stop it.
To be honest, this wasn’t the first time I’d been out of hiding without an escort.
Several times before… … No, I did that quite often, and for good reason.
This is because King Auden was a ‘sword master’.
‘As long as the military units don’t come, I can’t threaten Her Highness.’
At that time, Oden said something strange.
“Anyway, the atmosphere seems to have changed. What does it look like to you?”
At Oden’s words, Galman tilted his head.
“well?”
Doesn’t it seem like nothing has changed?
Shabby houses, needy people, heavy and dull air… … It was all the same.
‘Has something changed?’
It was when Galman frowned.
Suddenly Oden coughed.
“Cool. Cool.”
“jeon… … No sir!”
It was a rough, thick cough that lasted quite a while.
Oden, barely calm, shook his head.
“You looked ugly. I’m sorry.”
“no. Are you okay?”
“It’s just a cough, but where is it okay or not?”
Galman looked worried.
‘Your Highness is coughing. After all, even a sword master can’t avoid illness.’
King Auden was a sword master with only two people in Houston.
In other words, he is one of the two strongest players in the Houston kingdom.
He was respected as the king of knights and reigned as a messenger on the battlefield, but he was an extremely strong man, but even he could not escape the disease.
Whether it was the sword master or the archmage, they were all human beings. Getting old, getting sick, and dying were all the same
.
Fortunately, I wasn’t seriously ill.
After suffering from a cold, the cough only lasted a little longer.
‘The triple A-class healer, Count Helien, is still treating her, so she’ll get better soon.’
Galman shook his head.
“What destination do you have in mind?”
“well. I came all the way here, so let’s have a drink.”
“great.”
I didn’t really mean to have a drink, I meant to go to a bar and listen to people talk.
They found a shabby tavern.
It’s a dirty and shabby place to the point of frowning, but there was no place like this to hear people’s stories vividly.
Galman took a sip of his drink and frowned.
“It doesn’t taste good. Is this alcohol or poison? I don’t know if I can drink this.”
“Isn’t that your taste?”
“Yes, it is because I have a well-grown body. I don’t know how your Highness gets to a place like this.”
King Oden smiled at Galman’s joke.
“Because it’s much more comfortable than the battlefield. As a civil servant, you were only in a very nice environment.”
“Sorry for being a civil servant.”
Galman shook his head and thought about this.
‘Where else would a king think of his people like this?’
It wasn’t just a thought.
No one can deny that Oden is Ming.
However, even Oden had one big flaw, and that was Raymond.
‘If Your Highness hadn’t been the King, would he have treated Raymond as coldly then as he does now?’
Maybe because Raymond was nearby, Galman thought so.
Because of King Oden’s cold treatment, Raymond should have suffered a great wound.
‘It’s a useless idea.’
It was a moment of shaking my head.
Suddenly, a familiar name from a conversation at the next table tickled my ear.
“… … It’s Raymond.”
‘Raymond?’
Galman naturally listened.
And not long after I overheard it, I couldn’t help but put on a surprised face.
“Hey Raymond. Be careful with your words! How dare you call his name!”
“Oh sorry. I couldn’t speak because I was drunk. Prince… … Oh no, I told you not to call me that. Anyway, Lord Raymond. You healed my mother, but I don’t know how to repay this kindness.”
“Where are you the only person who received grace?”
“that’s right. I can’t even do what I know. Even when the wife of the empty family next door collapsed.”
Then, as if competing, people talked about receiving help from Raymond.
Everyone talked for a long time about how helpful they were, but the story showed no signs of ending.
‘Is that all real? Did Raymond really do those things?’
Galman made a bewildered face.
He knew that Raymond had treated a seriously ill patient in the therapist promotion test.
But this wasn’t something I could do simply because I was good at it.
heart for the patient.
It was impossible to do such things without overflowing with that heart.
‘His Highness?’
Galman glanced at the face of Oden, who was sitting across from him.
