The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 165
Episode 165 The power of K-flavored thorns (1)
‘What kind of person is the crown prince?’
Kelod, a soon-to-be doctor and graduate from Magentano Medical School, swallowed his astonishment. It was confusing. On the one hand, I was curious.
‘I thought you were just bluffing. I thought he was just trying to show off in front of us to show off his pseudo-medicine skills.’
Patients with lower limb paralysis will soon experience respiratory paralysis. I couldn’t believe it. But what about reality? It was different. Just as the crown prince said, the patient’s breathing suddenly became unstable.
“….”
As I remembered the critical situation from earlier, cold sweat broke out on my hands again. The patient suddenly started shaking and couldn’t breathe properly. I was embarrassed and froze in front of such a patient.
I was helpless. I was embarrassed. I felt like the pride I had as a medical student was shattered. Without even any room for excuses.
‘But the crown prince was different.’
He did not panic even in the presence of an emergency patient. He was calm as if he had already experienced hundreds of critically ill patients. The patient’s condition was checked as naturally as water. I took out the phantom bell. Thanks to this, the patient was able to overcome the critical condition.
Seeing that, I had to feel ashamed again.
“….”
In the end, the crown prince solved everything. I, who pushed him hard, couldn’t actually do anything. The more I thought about it, the more I got on my face. But my pride was not hurt. Because your pride won’t be of any help in saving the patient’s life.
He calmed his shaking heart and looked back at the crown prince.
“majesty. “There is something I want to ask you.”
“hmm?”
“What happens now?”
“Future treatment?”
“yes.”
I was curious. How will the crown prince proceed with treatment in the future? It was necessary for me to be aware of this in advance.
It was thanks to Kelod’s attitude.
‘haha. ‘Look at this guy.’
Rakiel felt even happier.
‘Usually in cases like this, there are a lot of people who act even worse, either because they are embarrassed or because their pride is hurt by their words and actions earlier.’
This friend seemed different. He seemed resolute, as if it were obvious that smooth treatment in the future was more important than his own pride.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
“well. I have a treatment in mind, but more than that-”
There was a strange greed in Rakiel’s eyes as he looked at Kelod. He asked as if testing, with the look in his eyes like a professor looking at a graduate student candidate who was just perfect for rolling(?).
“How about you express your opinion instead of just relying on me?”
“….”
Kelod flinched. But even that was answered resolutely for a moment.
“To be honest, I don’t know.”
“I don’t know?”
“yes. I have no idea. To give a more honest answer, I think I might try using my own herbal recipe. But on the other hand, I am reluctant to take such a prescription.”
“why?”
“This is because I am afraid that if I push for the wrong treatment out of ignorance, I may end up harming the patient.”
“Hmm, I think your attitude is quite different from before.”
“Because my judgment was proven wrong.”
A bitter smile appeared on Kelod’s lips.
“The person who made the diagnosis accurately, the person who predicted an unexpected emergency situation, and the person who responded appropriately are all credited to you. Of course, I cannot completely trust your diagnosis just yet.”
“Do you still have doubts?”
“Because nothing in the world is 100%.”
“You’re careful.”
“thank you. “I will take this as a compliment.”
“Compliments are bullshit.”
Rachiel burst out laughing.
“Well, anyway, there is no cure for Guillain-Barré syndrome. There are intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) injections and plasmapheresis. “You can’t use that here.”
“….”
“what’s the matter?”
“No, you used a term I’ve never heard before.”
“don’t mind. “I’m saying this as if I’m reflecting on what I’ve learned.”
“….”
“Anyway, the treatment I just mentioned can’t be used here. Instead, an alternative would be nerve bypass acupuncture.”
“You mean nerve… bypass acupuncture?”
“uh. Have you ever heard the rumor? “I paralyzed the tails of the werewolf nurses.”
“I’ve heard of it.”
…And I laughed inwardly. I heard a ridiculous story about a werewolf being paralyzed by sticking a thorn into its tail.
Kelod swallowed back his words. At that time, I just laughed. Now I honestly don’t know. Meanwhile, Rachiel’s explanation continued.
“I think I’d like to apply a little of the method I used back then. “I thought it would be possible to solve paralysis of the lower extremities by leaving the already inflamed and paralyzed nerves alone and stimulating new nerve pathways.”
“Is that… possible?”
“maybe?”
Rakiel shrugged his shoulders. In fact, it was a very promising attempt.
‘It’s possible because there is acupuncture point scanning.’
You can observe the flow of all acupuncture points in the patient’s body. Thanks to this, you can see in real time what kind of results you get when you stimulate which acupuncture points.
So it is possible.
If I had been an ordinary oriental medicine doctor back in the days when I was running an oriental medicine clinic in Korea, it would have been an attempt I would not have even dreamed of, but now it seems quite possible.
‘Besides, people’s nerves actually recover that way.’
It is not the end just because the nerves that performed a specific function have died or been lost. Nerve pathways that used to perform completely different functions may take the place of the lost function. Research using it has also been actively conducted.
‘For example, people who have lost their eyesight due to optic nerve damage. A device that can restore the eyesight of such people by using their taste nerves is also being researched.’
Glasses that function as a camera. Was it by placing the electrode sensor connected to the glasses on the tongue? Then, it was said that the visual center of the occipital lobe could be used through the gustatory nerve.
Even though researchers do not 100% understand the principle of how visual information is transmitted through the gustatory nerve, they said that they can still see the world.
‘Of course, because the research is still in its very early stages, it is only barely usable in black and white and at extremely low resolution, but where is that?’
Likewise, the nerves of the human body were an area with many unexplored possibilities. So, I decided to make full use of that possibility.
“…but let’s get some rest first.”
“yes?”
Rakiel chuckled.
“Right now, we have to wait for natural recovery until the patient’s breathing stabilizes. “I’m also extremely tired.”
A hint of exhaustion appeared in his smile. In fact, his words were not harsh. I was really, really tired. To be honest, I felt like I wanted to collapse right now.
‘It’s not unreasonable.’
When I think about it, I haven’t had much rest during this time. As soon as I returned to the imperial capital after fighting the Civil War in Amboise, I was busy. Supervised the 2nd prince’s diet and prepared the banquet. After treating the elf’s lung fluke, I came to the medical school.
But I never got a proper rest during that time! It felt like I had been forced to work a hardcore 7-day work week with no holidays for at least 3 months!
‘If I hadn’t endured it by absorbing mana with a faint mind technique… I probably would have suffered a few times.’
Rakiel said while gently massaging the sore back of her neck.
“So, I’ll take a break and then come back. In the meantime, Komong will help the patient breathe, so don’t worry too much. “If anything happens, call me right away.”
He left a few more instructions for Kelod and his team members and left. I returned to the empty hospital room where I picked Komong earlier. It was perfect for resting because I was stuck(?).
Of course, he didn’t just rest.
“Little girl?”
“Little girl!”
“Shall we catch up for the first time in a while?”
“Kkosuseum?”
“Self-hours.”
When are you this tired? It’s best to steam it yourself. If you take a nap after clearing up the blocked circulation, your fatigue will be even better relieved.
“Then can I borrow some thorns?”
“Little girl!”
The little boy who realized what he meant was willing to stick out his plump mound. It meant pulling out the thorns you wanted.
“thank you.”
Wow!
The first thorn was pulled out.
‘Whew. My whole body feels as heavy as a wet newspaper. I’m tired. In this case, the foot-and-mouth eum-gyeong sutra would take priority.’
Foot-examination.
In other words, it is a branch of the Twelve Sutras called the Ganjokgwaleumjimaek (肝足厥陰之脈). This meridian, which is also linked to the menopause of conception and yin, was a combination of acupuncture points that were especially important in managing fatigue accumulated in the liver.
‘Start with Daedonghyeol (大敦穴).’
He took off his shoes and glared at his big toe. There was a blood clot at the corner of the thumb’s nail root in the direction where the second toe is located. It was once said in Donguibogam that this Daedonghyeol is the Jeonghyeol (井穴) from which the Jokgwol-eumgan meridian emerges.
Tot!
A white thorn was pierced into the pork bone to a depth of 3 penny.
The next step was interlinear blood.
‘The point between the base of the thumb and the base of the second toe.’
If you carefully look at the concave spot there, there is a spot where your pulse is gently beating. It was the place where the Jokquan Yin Gan meridian flowed and became the so-called Hyeonghyeol (滎穴).
Toot!
This time I stabbed a little harder and 6 inches deep.
“Whoa.”
My heart is pounding.
Through the faint meditation, I felt the meridians of my toes pulsating slightly. A faint but distinct feeling of refreshment came up through my legs. He stroked the internal organs, especially the liver, as if comforting them.
Ding dong!
[Your liver function is activated slightly.]
[Your liver performs a simple headbanging of small joy at the acupuncture treatment it has been a long time.]
[The liver has donated 100 HP to you.]
[Currently possessed HP: 400]
It’s been a while since I felt this way. This feeling of taking care of yourself.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
A faint smile naturally formed. Suddenly, I remembered the time when I first entered Rakiel’s body. At that time, I was managing menopause of conception and menopause with self-acupuncture, and for the first time, I received support from the five internal organs.
‘Whew. Next is Taechunghyeol (太衝穴).’
I stretched out my hand. I pulled out a thorn from the corner of Kkosomi’s palace. I aimed at and tasted the fetal blood vessels. But….
Tot!
‘…uh?’
Rakiel, who was basting, was shocked. Suddenly, an intense sensation as if the fetal blood vessels were being set on fire came over me after I had touched them so suddenly!
‘How much?’
What on earth? Could it be that I did something wrong with the hour hand? That can’t be possible. Rachiel hurriedly looked at the instep where the fetal blood was present.
Thanks to you, I was able to find it.
That the thorn stuck in his fetal blood vessels was black in color.
‘her?’
I was finally able to realize the situation. The fact that he was so immersed in the hour needle that he was so tired that he briefly thought about something else and was lost in memories, so he unintentionally pulled out a thorn of a color he had never used before.
On the other hand, I also remembered.
The snail’s thorns were of three colors. The white one is non-irritating and painless, the brown one is for stimulation that stings and hurts quite a bit, and the black thorn is an unidentifiable K-taste.
‘There’s a mess…’
He quickly stretched out his hand to pull out the black thorn of Taechunghyeol. But before I could grab the thorn, even more extreme pain came!
‘… that way!’
K-flavored pain that calls for soul expulsion!
The pain was so dizzying that Rakiel almost passed out. The stimulation was too severe. I couldn’t even move my hand that was reaching out to pull out the thorn, so my whole body had to shake.
‘Ugh, there’s this and that…’
The world looked alternately red, blue, and yellow. It was as if someone had randomly mixed up the really bad lights and turned them on and off.
But it was like that.
Ding dong!
With a clear notification sound, an unexpected message began to appear before my eyes.
[You have self-blasted the black thorn with the K-taste effect.] [
The true effect of the K-taste is applied to you who have overcome the hellish pain.]
[The K-taste thorn effect is activated.]
[You The metabolism is rapidly accelerated to ‘8282 mode’.]
