The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 243

Episode 243 A more fearsome treatment (1)

Appendicitis.

A disease commonly referred to as ‘appendicitis’.

This hurts. It really, really hurts. The extreme pain of the Hellgate roller coaster is known only to those who have experienced it.

Moreover, it is secretly common. If you are a person with normal interpersonal relationships, you will almost certainly be able to find someone who has had appendicitis surgery within three or four bridges.

But at the same time, appendicitis is dangerous.

Although it looks easy due to the perception that it is a fairly common and not difficult surgery, it is actually a very fatal disease. How fatal it is is that if you catch it and do not receive surgery, the mortality rate approaches 100%.

‘In fact, the medical technology that has most dramatically increased the average lifespan of mankind is appendicitis surgery. penicillin? Antibiotic? Appendicitis would have increased the average life expectancy more than that. In the past, appendicitis was a disease where you would die if you got it.’

It really was.

There is no need to go far into the past. Until the early 1900s, appendicitis was a disease that would inevitably lead to death.

If surgery is not performed, the appendix at the end of the appendix will swell due to inflammation, burst, and rot. Even part of the large intestine rots.

What if I still can’t get the surgery?

There is a hole in the intestines. Materials inside the intestines pour out into the abdominal cavity. In other words, the feces that have been digested flow into the abdominal cavity. There is a 100% chance of contracting peritonitis. There is a 100% chance that sepsis will develop. 100% chance of dying.

‘I’m just trying to achieve a 100% advancement rate to the underworld.’

Appendicitis is a surprisingly scary disease. The frustrating thing about this is that there is no clear treatment other than surgery. Worst of all, the crew of a Russian submarine on a secret mission had to receive emergency help from the US military and even undergo surgery due to appendicitis.

But…

“You mean appendicitis? “The patient… or the dragon?”

“Yes.”

The dragon Portis, who identified himself as the armored dragon, looked at us with his characteristic arrogant eyes and said.

“why? Is it strange?”

“….”

yes. It’s fucking weird.

Rachiel barely swallowed the honest answer that rose up in her throat without her knowledge. It wasn’t too much of a stretch. The dragon has appendicitis. This was as strange as hearing that the Phoenix was sick with a cold.

‘what. What is it really? Is this a dragon?’

He stared at Portis with renewed suspicion.

Of course, the result of acupuncture point scanning was ‘Dragon is correct.’ No human being could have such a huge flow of mana in their body. Even if it wasn’t a dragon, there was no doubt that it was at least a being comparable to it.

‘But why?’

Could it be that a being the size of a dragon came to the Oriental Medicine Clinic in the villa and made a fuss just because of appendicitis? Why did they cast ‘Prince Come Out’ and press the truth?

Rakiel brushed aside the bouquet of mysterious flowers blooming in their heads, one million at a time. Instead, he asked with a bright business smile on his face.

“Oh, it’s more than strange. “It’s because there’s something a little bit strange about it.”

“Are you wondering?”

“From what I heard, dragons are perfect and flawless beings in themselves.”

“yes.”

A hint of pride appeared on Portis’ face.

Rachiel continued to ask.

“But why did a great and perfect being not treat his appendicitis himself? It’s a little difficult for my poor mind to understand.”

“So, do you want me to teach you?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Tsk! You seem like a stupid person. This great body himself revealed the reason earlier. “You mean you forgot it even after hearing it?”

“Then…”

“I told you. “My scales are too hard for surgery.”

“….”

“One time, I kidnapped a human named Sword Master. Coincidentally, there was a guy who lived in seclusion near my habitat and was practicing alone. But the results were not encouraging. The auror that the Sword Master family is so proud of? It was nothing special. “Because I couldn’t even scratch my scales.”

“….”

“ha. This is why it’s a problem. Because I am so perfect. Because my scales are too flawless. Even with Aura, I couldn’t scratch it, so I couldn’t cut open the stomach or cut out the inflamed appendix. “This is… so to speak, a tragedy brought about by perfection.”

“….”

xsin.

Rakiel hurriedly swallowed the curse words that instinctively formed in his mouth.

“So… haven’t you tried using recovery magic?”

That part was the most surprising.

A dragon would naturally be a magic master. But is appendicitis not solved with recovery magic?

The reason was soon revealed through the dragon’s grumbles, which returned.

“Recovery magic? under. You miserable human being. Do you believe that recovery magic is omnipotent? After all, it is a naive delusion befitting an inferior race.”

“….”

“To put it simply, recovery magic is nothing more than a technique that dramatically increases metabolism at the cellular level and accelerates the body’s self-repair ability. So, if you rely too much on it or abuse it, the probability of developing cancer cells increases dramatically. Anyway-”

Dragon Portis’ eyes narrowed as he looked at us.

“It was impossible to eliminate the inflammation of the appendix itself using recovery magic. “It could only be used to fill a ruptured appendix.”

“Ah…”

After listening, I understood.

So, every time this dragon’s appendix exploded, he survived by just tinkering with recovery magic. In this way, it only prevented substances or feces in the intestines from flowing out into the abdominal cavity.

“Every time it exploded, I blocked it with recovery magic… Afterwards, the inflammation progressed again, and when it exploded, I blocked it again… Did you hold on like that?”

“yes.”

“How long have you been like that?”

“About 100 years?”

“….”

Rachiel was speechless.

I can’t believe I endured the pain of appendicitis for 100 years. Once again, I thought that dragons are amazing in many(?) senses.

At the same time, other questions arose.

“So you couldn’t cut the belly skin with the magic you cast yourself, the dragon, rather than the auror manifested by humans?”

“of course. Because this body is perfectly solid. Especially since my scales are made of diamonds with a multi-layer structure of hexagonal honeycomb crystals. Unless you are Dragon King Berkis, there is no other being on this earth that can inflict trauma on me. Even though I was hit directly by a meteorite that fell on purpose, I didn’t get hurt. “I wonder if my nickname is the Carapace Dragon.”

“Then wouldn’t the surgery have been possible with the help of Dragon King Berkis?”

“I guess so. But…”

“But?”

“It was impossible to get help from him.”

Portis’ complexion changed. His next statement was surprising.

“Because he loves naps so much. Even though I went to visit, I was turned away. Instead, I almost died. sincerely.”

“….”

A dragon can show emotions of fear even for a moment. No, before that, the guy called the Dragon King was so obsessed with napping that he was willing to commit murder, or even murder, just because he came to visit him.

‘What… aren’t there any normal people in the dragon race?’

That thought suddenly occurred to me.

But anyway, that wasn’t the important point right now. Rakiel felt embarrassed as he internally sorted out the situation.

“Then. “Back-armored dragon?”

“You can call me Portis.”

“Oh yes Portis? “There is something I would like to ask.”

“Please ask.”

“Yes, thank you. “Then my question is, Mr. Fortis, what kind of treatment did you want from me and why did you come all the way here?”

“Of course it’s a treatment for appendicitis.”

“Didn’t you say that you can’t cut open the stomach by any means?”

“It did.”

“But are you going to entrust the treatment to me?”

“There must be a way.”

“…yes?”

“You. Crown Prince of the Empire. The rumor was very widespread. Did you say that you can bring a dying person back to life with just a touch of your hand? No, there are even rumors that he brought zombies to life. Am I right?”

“….”

“So there must still be some way. That’s why I came to find you.”

“….”

i get it.

I don’t know, but since you’re a doctor, you’re of the mindset that you should do whatever you can, right?

‘ha. driving me crazy.’

Rachiel sighed.

I was embarrassed.

‘How do I slit that stomach?’

Once again, the only solution for appendicitis is surgery. Antibiotics administered? If he can calm things down like that, he should win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

The answer is that there is no choice but to do it. However, it is impossible to cut open the stomach of that strong dragon unless you are the Dragon King.

So the conclusion was simple.

‘Either call the Dragon King. Find some other way. But I am the one who has to find that number. You can’t even refuse medical treatment. Because the opponent is a dragon. Because I don’t know what kind of trouble they’ll make. It’s going to spin, really.’

Just thinking about it made me feel a sense of burden.

However, the more it happened, the more Raquiel showed his professionalism based on the time he had accumulated while running an oriental medicine clinic for many years. In other words, he responded calmly without showing any signs of embarrassment.

Because if the medical staff shakes, the patient becomes anxious.

So, no matter what happens, stay calm.

With that attitude now too.

Avoid being influenced by the patient.

“All right. Then Portis? “Before we start treatment, could you please do me a favor first?”

“ask? “What request?”

“I was wondering if you could… put my people back where they were.”

Rachiel smiled calmly and gave a quick glance. Where his eyes were directed. There, Lord Gardin and the werewolf nurse guards were hanging upside down in the air. It’s been like this ever since.

“From now on, these are the people who will help me while I treat and treat Portis. Please be a little lenient.”

“…Hmm. “What if you don’t like it?”

“I won’t be able to treat you, Portis.”

“what?”

The dragon’s gaze turned slightly grim as it looked at this direction. I suddenly got goosebumps. But Rakiel realized it instinctively. We shouldn’t be pushed by that momentum right now.

‘of course. If you get pushed back now, it’s over.’

So this is a battle of wits.

It’s a battle of wits with the patient.

If you get pushed out here, you’ll be in trouble.

If the patient takes the lead in the treatment and the medical staff is dragged along, the treatment process will not run properly. This is especially true when the patient is someone who has great influence in many ways.

‘Even me. Even when the building owner came, the initiative in medical treatment was not taken away!’

Just once, the owner of the building where the Oriental medicine clinic was located came to get acupuncture. It was even at a time when rents were starting to fall slightly. Thanks to that, I was honestly a bit nervous at the time. But he didn’t show it. I treated him the same way as I treated other patients.

Rakiel tried to keep his composure as he recalled the memories of that day. I received the dragon’s cold gaze, which gave me chills in real time. I endured it. At the same time, he devised a way to operate on appendicitis in subjects who could never have their stomachs stomped.

How long has it been like that?

Portis asked without removing his cold gaze.

“I never thought I would encounter such an arrogant mortal. How dare you ask me a favor? Before that, let me ask you one question. How do you plan on treating my appendicitis? “Is there a treatment worthy of the enormous reputation that is spreading across the continent?”

It was a question that seemed to test qualifications.

But Rachiel did not waver. On the contrary, he accepted it even more boldly.

“there is.”

After some thought, an answer came to mind. That’s all. Since the patient is a huge and strong dragon, there is a much more convenient and safe way to try it.

“There is? “What is that?”

The dragon’s eyes reveal doubt.

I looked straight at it and answered.

“It’s simple. If you can’t open your stomach because of the scales, why not just shove a colonoscope through your anus?”

“…what?”

For the first time, the eyes of the great race of dragons were deeply shaken by the declaration that they would medically ravage your cock.
