I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 30

Episode 30. Eat the green mold (1)

Phew~.

After hearing that most of the bandits who had made the surprise attack had died and only a few had escaped, the fireman was relieved of his tension.

‘I’m alive now!’

The fireman sat down on the spot.

My whole body was tingling with tension all night. My heart was not at all clear. It was fine until a little while ago, but when the tension was released, the sensation that killed a person last night came back.

The feeling of cutting flesh and cutting bones.

It was a different feeling from what I was doing to treat people. Maybe the memory of yesterday is imprinted in my head and follows me for the rest of my life.

It was such a terrible feeling.

Looking down, I saw the dead body of a soldier who had been stabbed yesterday. I didn’t do that when I saw the corpses of the bandits, but seeing the corpse of a soldier whose name I don’t know, I feel a bit sad.

“Yeah, I could have been like that. You did a good job. I did well.”

The painter put the knife back into the scabbard and came out.

My hands were tingling from how tightly I was holding the knife.

When I came out, the soldiers were busy moving around to clean up the surroundings. Still, as a doctor, the wounds of the soldiers caught my eye first.

The wounds were wrapped roughly with something like a cloth, but blood was dripping beyond what was stained red.

‘Come to think of it, my condition is also zero…’

The painter looked down at his thighs.

I don’t know when I was hurt, but my thighs were covered in blood.

Suddenly, I realized that the ears to be sterilized were not running out.

The bandits’ knives were not rusted, but they were already stained with the blood of others. If not disinfected quickly, there is a high possibility of bacterial infection.

“Here, you stubborn man.”

“Yes, Gongja.”

“Could I get some distilled liquor Baekju or Guiju?”

“Can you drink? You’ll find it if you look for it. However, it will be difficult to find gwiju or baekju. Are there any officers?”

“is that so? Then call the officer… no. I will go and ask.”

“I will guide you.”

When the soldier went ahead, the fireman followed.

After a while, the fireman could see the officers gathered to one side.

There were also military officers and legislators, and some soldiers ran around after receiving orders from the officers.

The soldier who guided the fireman looked at the atmosphere and hesitated, unable to even say that he needed alcohol.

“I’ll tell you, mister, just stay still.”

“Yes ah yes.”

The painter looked at the faces of the officers to find the highest-ranking Lieutenant.

Even though he didn’t like the way Lieutenant Cho treated him, he was the most senior here. When he gives the order, the seeking will be quicker.

Lieutenant Jo was being treated by Congressman Bong with his shoes off.

‘It worked out rather well.’

“What are you stabbed with?”

Hwabu first approached Congressman Bong and talked to him.

“uh! angry man. You were safe.”

“yes. But Captain Jo’s feet don’t look good, do they?”

“I was stabbed with iron.”

Inspector Jo frowned, then looked a bit surprised when he saw the fireman’s appearance.

“Are you iron? Was it ironed out and sprayed in the barracks?”

“I was not in the barracks, but I was chasing after the fleeing bandit boss and stepped on the iron. But were you also attacked by bandits?”

“yes.”

“I must have been lucky to see that it wasn’t a big wound.”

“What is it?”

The painter turned his head slightly and looked at Congressman Bong.

“But wouldn’t it be okay to finish the treatment by applying the golden spear medicine like this?”

In response to the painter’s question, Inspector Jo asked with a puzzled expression.

“why? Do you have any other prescriptions?”

The painter deliberately put on a serious expression.

“It’s a wound from blood coming into contact with metal. If you do it wrong, your legs may rot.”

Congressman Bong laughed.

“Hwa Gongja, I couldn’t have thought about it and treated it. I’ve already squeezed the wound and drained as much blood as possible, and I’m going to apply plaster.”

The fireman smiled bitterly.

Tetanus cannot be prevented in this way.

To prevent tetanus, you must clean the wound and get a tetanus shot.

Of course, a tetanus shot can’t be beaten, so you have to find another way, but at least for now, it’s good to sterilize and attach a magnet.

“Mr. Bong. Did you see that when I treat patients, I sterilize the affected area with gwiju?”

“I saw it.”

“Chief Jo also sterilized with gwiju?”

“Where am I going to get you now? I just washed it with boiled and cooled water.”

The painter looked at Professor Cho.

“That alone is not enough. Professor Joe. Do you have any distilled spirits like gwiju?”

“I’m coming to subdue the bandits. Would you like to bring some alcohol?”

“That means no. Can you say that even if you’re going to cut your leg soon? I cut off my leg because there was no guiju.”

“Big, what the hell does that mean?”

Inspector Jo asked with a slightly flushed face.

“If you don’t have Guiju, you might have to have your leg amputated. Can you still say that like now?”

The fireman deliberately raised his voice slightly so that the officers and soldiers around him could hear.

In fact, every soldier in this era was afraid of tetanus.

Tetanus was called tetanus because it caused convulsions, so it was similar to being caught in light byeongbyeongpungchi, so it was called tetanus because it festered and destroyed the wound.

Some of my fellow soldiers had their arms or legs cut off by tetanus, and many died.

“I know, but can’t I help it now?”

“Maybe the soldiers have alcohol?”

“There may be some soldiers with alcohol, but most of them are just cheap yellow wine.”

“Can’t you make distilled liquor by boiling yellow wine?”

At Hwabu’s words, not only Congressman Bong, but many people around him widened their eyes.

“That’s right. That’s right, if you boil yellow wine and let it steam, it becomes distilled spirit. Why didn’t I think of that?”

When Rep. Bong nodded, Inspector Jo’s expression slightly changed.

“Is it like gwiju or jadeju that has been boiled and steamed?”

“yes.”

“Washing the affected area with distilled wine will prevent tetanus?”

“yes. Not completely.”

“Then I’ll have to gather all the yellow wines in the barracks and boil them.”

Lieutenant Jo looked at the fireman with a little surprise and called his subordinates.

“I am the emperor, the emperor.”

“Your teacher.”

“Immediately collect all the liquor in the barracks, boil it, and distill it.”

“yes.”

As soon as Lieutenant Cho’s order was given, the two officers began to move busily.

After giving the order, Lieutenant Jo looked at Hwabu and Congressman Bong alternately, then opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“Senator Bong.”

“Yes, Professor Joe.”

“I heard a while ago that the painter was your disciple…”

“Yes? Oh no Rather, it is a situation where I am learning a little bit.”

“her! What does that mean? Congressman Bong is learning? Heh heh…..”

“Yes, it’s embarrassing, but it’s true. Contrary to what you see, the medical skills of a chemist are exceptional. In addition, I am learning a lot by studying the medical arts of the western region.”

“under! is it? I read the medical books of the West Station. That’s great. As far as I know, even though the painter’s decline… Khumm’s family has declined a bit, but he was once a prestigious family… Heh heh, it must not have been easy to think of becoming a medical officer.”

The fireman just listened intently.

I have no intention of arguing, and if I talk too much for no reason, I only have less time to see patients. The painter wanted to see at least one more patient by avoiding this place.

“Each person means something different.”

“yes. It is better to choose a wide door rather than a narrow one. You are wise at a young age.”

“Okay then I will go see the other patients. Senator Bong, please let me know when the distilled spirit is made.”

“Okay. After Lieutenant Jo’s treatment is over, I will go to Confucius.”

“yes. then.”

The fireman slightly bowed his head to Lieutenant Jo and went to the place where the soldiers were gathering patients.

There were not many seriously ill patients, probably because they were prepared for a surprise attack.

‘Disinfection should be done after the distilled liquor is made, and I’ll have to stop the bleeding first.’

When the painter began to treat the patients, Lieutenant Jo was quite surprised to see him from a distance.

‘I thought he was imitating me, but he’s surprisingly good at it. Are you really good at it?’

Even though they are in decline, the nobility is the nobility.

It was not easy for the nobility to treat the bleeding soldiers so zealously.

* * *

When the distilled spirit came out, the painter first disinfected his own wounds. And I took a needle to sew up the torn thigh.

“Keugh!”

I prepared my mind and gritted my teeth in my own way, but the moment I pierced my flesh with a needle, it felt like my hair stood on end in excruciating pain. After all, the pain of having raw flesh sewn up without anesthesia was beyond imagination.

‘I’m really going to die.’

I wanted to pull out the needle right away, but I couldn’t.

‘Let’s sew it up as soon as possible, that’s the way to make it a little less painful.’

The painter gritted his teeth and sewed quickly.

Tears flowed naturally, but I moved my hands so quickly that I had no time to wipe them.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… It really hurts.”

I desperately missed the anesthetic liquid I had left in the slums to the point that it pierced my bones.

The fireman took a deep breath and looked at the wound.

It seems like it took a while, but I couldn’t even do half of it. The painter couldn’t insert the needle right away, so he first rolled up a piece of cloth and put it in his mouth.

‘Whoa~ Let’s sew it all at once.’

hooked

The moment the needle was re-inserted, severe pain came over her, but she clenched her teeth and sewed.

Took.

But when I sewed another halfway through, the needle broke.

‘Kuuuh! I heard it’s a needle made by a goddamn basin! Damn damn!’

The fireman internally cursed at the farmer and pulled out the needle stuck in his flesh. Then, after putting the silk thread through the new needle, he sewed again at high speed.

After a long time passed, the sewing was all finished. The fireman was sweaty all over, as if someone had sprinted hundreds of meters.

“Wow! Was it that fucking painful?”

When I wiped the sweat from my face, I felt like I was going to live a little.

The painter took a deep breath for a while to stabilize his body, then started treating the critically ill patients with distilled spirits.

“You need to sew your flesh, so put it in your mouth.”

When the painter held out the rolled rag, the patient gave a fearful expression.

He had just seen the fireman screaming and stitching himself up.

It gave me goosebumps just by looking at it, but now that I think I’m going to do it, I’m really afraid.

Of course, I couldn’t do it just because I didn’t want to.

“Please do a little bit.”

“I will sew it up for you as soon as possible.”

“yes.”

The soldier closed his eyes and bit a cloth, and the fireman disinfected the affected area, inserted acupuncture to slow the bleeding, and then raised the needle.

‘Is there any way to not even feel pain with acupuncture?’

As I unfolded the neural map in my head, it seemed that there might be a way.

However, the painter immediately shook his head.

I had to stick acupuncture into the central nerve, but it was so dangerous that I didn’t dare to try it.

‘Damn it, let’s not make people stupid for nothing.’

The fireman made up his mind and quickly stabbed the needle.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

A moan escaped from the mouth of the soldier who was biting the cloth, but the more he did, the faster the fireman’s hands got faster.

“I will sew it up for you as soon as possible.”
