Doctor’s Rebirth - Chapter 50

Episode 50:

In some kiru, expensive ko (蠱) were used.

If it is not for the medicine given by Haomun, the pain inside the body will convulse and die.

It was fortunate that neither she nor her younger brother had that level of marketability.

But in any case, there was no answer if they ran away and were caught, and even if they succeeded in running away, there were many who came back.

I had only known Giru’s life my whole life, and now there was no way I could suddenly adapt to a different life.

I didn’t know anything about farming or being a merchant.

I had never experienced normal life itself.

She gave up her dream of running away.

The last thing left was to become Hao Mun’s master.

In Sapa, where strength is justice, a strong person can become a munju. She succeeded in reaching the last point, Buntaju.

And collapsed from syphilis.

She leaned her face on Muwol’s shoulder.

“But the look in Sogakju’s eyes was comfortable.”

“Ah… I was like that too. sister.”

“okay. He didn’t ask me much or interfere with me. “They just saw me as someone to treat.”

“He was only thinking about what he wanted to do.”

“okay. It was the eye that saw me as a person. I liked those lukewarm eyes. Normal people have always looked at each other like that, right?”

“….”

Instead of answering, Muwol stroked his sister Muhwa’s head.

“I hope your sister gets better.”

“Still expecting something… foolish.”

“I hope you still make fun of me and call me stupid three years later.”

“Hahaha 3 years? “Why do you want me to make fun of you for being stupid until you’re 100 years old?”

“That would be too greedy.”

“You’re already greedy.”

She said that and couldn’t say any more.

Because my throat hurt like it was going to tear.

‘I talked too much. It hurts…’

As the days passed, the pain became more and more severe.

Even if you try to endure it with your inner strength, it is a martial arts skill of the Four Schools.

Because the inner strength was not pure, it was difficult to expect curing effects such as jeongpa.

She changed her dream.

I hope you survive until next year.

I knew it was greed, but since it was my last wish, I hoped that at least that would come true.

* * *

The next day, she had a particularly severe fever.

Consciousness was awakened by pain and then subsided repeatedly.

This is what it must have felt like to feel the pain of having your limbs torn apart.

Rashes growing all over the body were a sign of syphilis.

Jin Cheon-hee placed her hand on her forehead. I took his temperature and took his pulse.

“Councilor… can I get better?”

At those words, Jin Cheonhee’s eyebrows narrowed.

“….”

There are stages of syphilis.

Stage 1, where it is difficult to realize that you have it because of the painless rash.

Stage 2, when the disease starts in earnest and appears throughout the body.

Stage 3 is when the patient goes through an incubation period as if nothing has happened and then develops the disease again.

If the disease progresses to stage 3, gummas are found in the eyes, intestines, brain, and bones.

This stage causes long-term cardiovascular and nerve damage, and the mortality rate rises rapidly.

For stages 1 and 2, intramuscular injection is sufficient.

At this stage, the prognosis would also be good. But the current situation was dangerous.

‘Stage 3… But there is a possibility that it has spread to the nerves.’

In modern times, we would extract cerebrospinal fluid and test it, but that is impossible here.

‘Even if it is stage 3, if it is not neurosyphilis, intramuscular injection is possible. But if it spreads to your nerves, it’s a different story.’

This is because it is difficult for penicillin to cross the blood-brain barrier through intramuscular injection alone.

‘First of all, my motor skills seem to be normal, so let’s give an intramuscular injection and see how it goes.’

If this alone improves your condition, fortunately your nerves are fine. But if not, you have to move on to intravenous injection.

When Jin Cheon-hee didn’t answer for a long time, Mu-hwa thought.

‘It must be difficult for the incinerator as well. ‘An incurable disease is an incurable disease…’

My heart tingles.

I thought I had let it all go, but I guess I still have some regrets.

Finally, Jin Cheon-hee spoke.

“I think it will go well. So let’s try together.”

‘Still, you’re different from other lawmakers who just click their tongues. different.’

* * *

‘It’s a marathon from here.’

Manages patients’ conditions and administers medications at set times.

In patients whose organs had been invaded by stage 3 organs, there was a high possibility that necrosis had already occurred in the internal organs.

We continued to observe in case the condition changed suddenly.

‘Next is data.’

I had to continuously write down the patient’s improvement status and any possible side effects and keep them as data.

Jin Cheon-hee could not tell whether the penicillin on Earth and the penicillin here had exactly the same effect.

Anyway, this is a world where there is something called energy.

A human breaks a rock with his bare hands and runs like a horse.

If you attain enlightenment and practice fables, you will become a hermit and there are monsters somewhere.

‘Will the antibiotics made here really work the same way as on modern Earth?’

It was successful in animal testing. But I don’t know what will happen in the future.

The person who helped me the most was Yakjaedangju Manpagok.

“The progress was good?”

She released members of Yakjaedang to help Busuldang where Jin Cheon-hee was located.

If penicillin succeeds, a treatment for internal injuries that has never existed before will be created.

Many people’s lives could be saved.

“If there is anything missing, please tell me. “Young Incinerator.”

“You always help me so much.”

Manpagok smiled heartily at Jin Cheonhee’s words.

“This is where you get help. There are already patients improving. “I also think that maybe we can cure this incurable disease with human power.”

Jin Tianxi shook his head.

“We’ll still have to wait and see.”

“All the council members are excited and upset, but our Lord Sogak is still strict. By the way, when the medicine is finished, the name will be Penny… It would be better to change it to something easier to understand rather than something else.”

I had never thought about that.

“Why?”

“Why am I Penny… Anyway, I don’t know why the name of the medicine is so difficult to memorize. The same goes for other members of the National Assembly. Something that is easy to remember is easier to write, so make it simpler. “Hehehe.”

She patted Jin Tianxi’s back with her large palm.

“Where did such a fortune come from? “It is worthy of the Lord’s favor.”

With those words, she went to work.

Processing penicillin is the job of Yakjaedang.

In an era where there was no reliable equipment, it was extremely difficult to purify and process medicinal products while retaining their efficacy.

‘I’m glad I have Yakjaedang.’

The same herb can be a medicine if used well, but it can be poison if used incorrectly.

Not only the simple dosage, but also the process of drying and decocting the medicine, and the compatibility between the medicines could have been a factor in killing the patient.

The Yakjaedang she leads is working like a cogwheel at this very moment.

The military discipline is so sharp that it is hard to imagine that she, with her generous appearance, is leading it.

Still, it’s surprising that he has such a good reputation.

Now that she has done her job, it is Jin Cheon-hee’s turn to do Jin Cheon-hee’s work.

Jin Cheon-hee continued to make rounds and check on the patients’ condition.

“I heard your brother made this medicine?”

The child asked while receiving Jin Cheon-hee’s pulse.

“wait for a sec. “Don’t say it.”

The child obediently kept his mouth shut at Jin Cheon-hee’s words.

Congenital syphilis.

These are children infected in the fetal state.

It is largely divided into early congenital syphilis and delayed congenital syphilis. If syphilis develops in a newborn, there is nothing that can be done with today’s technology.

The child dies.

If the disease occurs after the patient has grown up, there are sometimes cases where the patient continues to fight the disease like this.

But syphilis is a scary disease.

Aside from the scar covering half of his face, the child was already blind in one eye. One ear has already suffered hearing loss.

The mother had already died of syphilis, and the child came here thanks to Jin Cheon-hee’s request.

Jin Cheon-hee asked after finishing the pulse.

“Have you ever learned martial arts?”

“no.”

“Is there an internal force flowing through the Danjeon?”

“Uh… history?”

As the condition improved with penicillin, it was discovered that the internal forces within the body were moving.

The child actually did not know about his history.

Jin Cheon-hee explained while gesturing with his hands.

“Uh, so have you ever felt like you’re breathing strangely?”

“Oh right. If I had a fever and was in a lot of pain, I would breathe into my stomach because it would hurt less. like this…!”

The child was breathing hard on his tadpole belly to Jin Cheon-hee.

‘You built your skills with this? Without even having studied Gugyeol?’

If that’s true, this kid is a genius.

First, Jin Cheon-hee placed her hand on the child’s back and checked how the child’s internal energy moved each time he breathed.

‘Are you doing the trick? ‘Are you ordering Jucheon?’

Without a teacher, I was doing meditation by adjusting my energy to my breathing.

If you just build up your skills, you might be able to get some luck and take an elixir. However, making internal energy swirl within the body was a different matter.

What’s even more surprising is the lack of self-awareness.

“I thought it was like this originally…?”

The child tilted his head.

Because of his ugly face, he covered one side of his face with his hair.

It was dirty until I came here, but now it is clean and smells good. But it was still so ugly that everyone avoided their gaze.

Jin Cheon-hee asked.

“You said you had no name, right?”

“The Haomun guys call me ‘Hey.’ It is also called ‘there’ or ‘there’. “The kids call me ‘dog’ or ‘janban.’”

“Hmm…”

Jin Cheonhee frowned on one side of her forehead.

He is the only child among syphilis patients.

I expected the story to be amazing, but when I actually heard it, it felt different.

“Let’s do it this way. “My brother can’t write your name like that, so I’ll write it roughly here.”

“Do whatever you want.”

Although she said she wrote roughly, Jin Cheon-hee sat there and thought about it for a while. Then I wrote this:

Cheonwoo (天佑).

It is taken from the Chinese character in front of Cheonwoo Shinjo (天佑神助).

As unfortunate as it was, I wrote it with the hope that heaven would help this child in the future.

“You are Cheonwoo now. Woo, who will help you in the sky. “It means that heaven is a helper.”

“Wow, that’s nice!”

The child nodded.

“And if it’s okay, would you consider living somewhere else besides Hao Mun?”

With this level of talent, he could do anything as a warrior.

But that didn’t happen inside Haomun.

“Hehehe, wherever you take me is fine.”

Am I hungry for affection?

The child did not hesitate. In a way, it was natural.

Adults were indifferent, and kids his age beat him. A long period of abuse continued after the outbreak.

The children beat the boy, saying, ‘He might spread germs.’

Even though they moved to a place where the sick were gathered within Haomundo Island, the violence continued.

Jin Cheon-hee’s forehead had deep wrinkles.

‘First of all, I’ll need permission from Master and Hao Mun.’
