Doctor’s Rebirth - Chapter 30
Episode 30:
Treatment room.
Originally, it was a place where medical techniques using acupuncture and moxibustion were practiced. But this time was different.
In the middle of the room, a girl was lying on a bed that had been cleaned without a speck of dust and disinfected with strong alcohol.
And Baek Lin Eui-seon and Jin Cheon-hee were looking down at that girl.
Yu Ho, as always, stands quietly behind Jegalin.
“Is it possible with the medical techniques you know?”
“…I can’t say for sure.”
This is a world without X-rays, CTs, or MRIs. There are no medicines, IVs, or syringes.
‘If the description in the novel is correct, maybe…’
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“The first priority is to check how the stomach is upset. Is it possible? “Master?”
Baek Lin-ui-seon nodded.
“You want to know more than just examining the pulse, right?”
“yes. “I’m still not exhausted.”
That was one of the things that surprised Jin Cheonhee the most when he came to this martial arts world.
Excited.
The ability to diagnose the body using energy.
It was kind of like ultrasound, but more accurate than that.
It’s because of the feeling.
To use a metaphor, I could feel the flow of energy as if I was touching the inside of my body with my hands.
Zegalin put his hand on the child’s stomach. It felt like there was a
thud
, but there was almost no vibration in the stomach.
A weak inner energy that an ordinary person would not be able to feel passes through the stomach like a sound wave.
‘It’s amazing to see it again… I also have enough strength, so if I try harder, I can use it, right?’
Jin Cheon-hee also already has ten years worth of skills. However, the operation of the true energy was not yet detailed, so the true energy was not used.
If you achieve a higher level of achievement, you will soon be able to do something like that.
While Jin Tianxi was thinking like that, Zhuge Lin closed his eyes and focused on the sensation at his fingertips.
After feeling the waves of internal power returning, I drew the patient’s condition on rice paper.
Jin Cheon-hee just stared blankly at the shocking technique.
‘…Do I have to do that much to hear the voice of God in the martial world?’
Zegalin said.
“What I say from now on should only be known to the three of us. Do you understand?”
Yuho didn’t even answer, as if he was familiar with this.
Only Jin Cheonhee nodded heavily.
“The person who attacked the child used a fairly serious double-digit method. And it still has some pretty unique features. “This is only possible by learning unique martial arts.”
At those words, Jin Cheon-hee recalled the martial arts novels she had read.
There was only one answer.
“Are you saying the culprit belongs to a certain sect?”
“okay.”
In the novel, it is said that martial arts leaves characteristic scars depending on its nature. It looks like it was hit by a tiger’s claws or leaves a mark that looks like it was sawed.
After seeing this, the characters in the novel say, ‘Huh! This is the △ martial arts of the O faction…! There are many scenes where people shout, ‘Such viciousness!’
‘Master, you are the Three Great Gods of Murim. It is said that it is natural to infer military prowess through wounds… In 21st century Earth, this would be similar to finding out the type of gun by looking at bullet marks.’
Zhugelin continued speaking with difficulty.
“He is a person of all political factions.”
Political faction.
No matter how much money you had, it was unthinkable to attack someone else’s family, especially a child.
That was something only the worst people would do.
‘It was complicated and tangled.’
In the novel, Gung-gwi was unable to find the beast in the end.
Zegalin said.
“Hey, I’m sorry for showing you something like this.”
“The world is bad, not the teacher. And what you need to know is what you can do.”
Humans cannot be defined as one thing.
There may be people in the political faction who are worse than the political faction, and there may also be people in the political faction who are better than the political faction.
It was the same with the doctor.
There was a person who had a motive only for money under the pretense of treating patients, and there was also a person who suffered a medical accident while performing surgery after drinking alcohol.
It is said that he did not hesitate to lie to the bereaved family members, saying that he was so sick that there was nothing he could do.
There are also people who drink anesthetics in the bathroom like drugs.
On the other hand, there were also people who volunteered to visit slums without receiving any money.
There was also a guy who went out of his way to save people even though no one noticed. There were even people who saved people’s lives until they died from overwork.
It didn’t matter whether it was a political faction or a sad faction.
The group was just a mud pit made up of people.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘If it spreads incorrectly, it will be a bother.’
If the evil beast was a bastard from a political faction, he would do anything to keep his mouth shut.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“That money belongs to a man named Gung-gwi, and it’s not our business to get involved.”
It contained an indifference that could not be attributed to a child.
Jin Cheon-hee’s interest was focused only on saving the patient.
Zhuge Lin somehow felt that Jin Tianxi resembled his bad side. But that was also Rep. Kang Ho’s important knowledge.
‘It was a patient I wouldn’t have accepted originally.’
I already felt it the first time I felt it.
That this child could not be saved. And even if you save it, it can be very annoying.
Normally, he wouldn’t have even taken a step.
“So then.”
If it wasn’t because of my student. never.
* * *
‘The intestines ruptured and even necrosis occurred inside. The reason he’s still alive is because of his energy and elixir, right?’
I agree with the statement that it is not strange if one dies at any time.
Nevertheless, it was really amazing to see that it was alive and it was the energy of this world.
‘Fortunately, the surgical method itself seems to be somehow possible. The problem is whether the patient has enough stamina to withstand surgery.’
There is no such thing as 100%.
Even Jin Cheon-hee couldn’t guarantee this.
After conveying all this to Master, Jin Cheon-hee said this.
“I think you might need family consent?”
“It’s quite systematic.”
Jin Cheon-hee flinched at those words.
‘No, then how can I perform surgery without the consent of the guardian… ah… I don’t do it… I don’t do it here, but what if I kill the patient? Should I just kill the congressman with one sword? Is that something Sapana would do? No, but when I look at that kid, there’s nothing in particular about a political faction?’
Jin Cheon-hee, who thought that far, spoke immediately.
“I think I need to tell you more.”
“okay. “Then will you talk?”
Jin Tianxi shook his head.
To others, he would only be seen as a young student and would not be seen as a doctor.
In times like these, tips are more important.
“Please. “Master.”
Zegalin smiled bitterly at those words.
“Because of you, I too have changed a lot.”
* * *
Jegalin explained as easily as possible to the waiting Gunggui.
After listening, Gung-gwi opened his mouth.
“So there are two ways. One is to die comfortably. With Uiseon’s acupuncture, there will be no pain until you stop breathing, and with hoi-gwang-banjo, you can wake up and have a short conversation. And the body of the deceased will also be clean. Is that correct?”
Zegalin nodded.
“That’s right.”
“Another way is to fight illness until the end. Today is a critical day and we will use destruction techniques, so if we fail, the deceased’s body will also be damaged and my daughter may be in pain…”
This is an era without modern medicine. It was unknown whether the surgery would go as desired.
Gung-gwi’s expression becomes distorted.
Did he think of his wife who passed away in pain?
“Isn’t it right? “Why can’t you be sure?”
“….”
Jegalin’s expression turns bitter at those words.
Gungwi spoke in silence.
“Still… it’s a hundred times better than the first congressman who promised that he could fix it perfectly.”
The man’s hands are shaking.
“Are you asking me this to tell me that if I fail later, it’s my fault, so don’t blame me?”
Zegalin answered.
“no. This is because, as a stranger who saw the patient’s fate for the first time today, I cannot choose the patient’s fate. You know your patients best, right? “What would a patient want?”
“….”
Gung-gwi thought absently of his daughter. In the past, his daughter said this to him:
-disguise? are you okay! I’ve liked this kind of thing for a long time! I’m going to make sure the bad guys never get caught, so should Dad defeat them all?
My daughter was braver than anyone else. He couldn’t bear to tell his daughter what he was doing.
-These days, even charlatans make a lot of money. There seem to be a lot of good people. bodyguard? Do you need something like that? It will be difficult to meet friends. are you okay. They can come and play. And I’m good at playing alone.
He cheated on his daughter.
My father is said to be a charlatan of a powerful king and makes money through collaborating. So don’t worry and just spend the money your dad earns.
The child naively believed until the end.
-Tell me about Kangho. dad.
The daughter scolded her father before going to sleep.
After hearing Kang-ho’s story about being a great thief, he believed that he too could become one. He suggested that we follow in my father’s footsteps and learn martial arts and join forces.
He said he wanted to become a great Daehyup.
-Why did you come so late? Dad… not like dad… Still, I fought well… against the bad guy… right…?
At that time, my daughter was colder than usual. It was the same body temperature as my wife.
Blood seeped out between my clenched molars.
He was a liar. And he was a coward.
He was the kind of person who hated suffering from poverty but was afraid of being criticized by his daughter.
The man spoke in a suppressed voice, as if he was yelling.
“Then please send it to me. “No more pain.”
Zhugelin asked in Gunggui’s voice.
“Are you really going to do that?”
“And then when I die… and then when I die, just like my wife…”
I couldn’t say any more.
The man’s face was full of pain. He said that with trembling lips. No more.
Zhuge Lin gave Jin Tianxi a look.
Jin Tianxi sighed and nodded.
‘okay. That’s also a choice….’
The moment Jegalin tried to get up, the man screamed.
“…Please save me! “Just save me…!”
It was the cry of a father who could not understand that his daughter’s life was ending.
I grabbed the hem of Zhuge Lin’s clothes.
He chose.
It was something raw and human that could not be expressed in any words.
“I’m just asking you to save me. I’d rather be sick instead. “I wish I died instead… This foolish father is alive and well, so why is the child dying…!”
A parent’s shout comes out, something I’ve thought about for the hundredth, thousandth, or tenth time.
It had to be him who died. I had to be the liar I was.
Zhugelin did not answer.
I just bowed deeply to his choice and came out.
Then he asked:
“Heeya. Do you think the child will live?”
