The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 83

Episode 83 How to prevent reperfusion injury (1)

‘Stroke… what is it?’

The moment my heart sank with realization, a memory from ten years ago suddenly came to mind.

I’ve been trying not to think about it on purpose. Now, as time goes by, it has faded away. The wound from that time only remained as a blurred trace. So it’s okay now. That time is no longer painful. I tried so hard to deceive myself.

Now, the memories of that day were forced to come back to me, with no way to do anything.

The day my father collapsed. The moment I belatedly received that call. My pathetic self that day. I regret my actions so much. So cruelly and vividly, so endlessly.

‘shit.’

I remembered that time.

How many phone calls did you get from your mom? But I didn’t know. I was playing a game. It was also because the PC room that day was particularly noisy. It was partly because the game went so well that day. No, rather than that, the biggest reason was that I was pathetic.

It was only later that I called my mom. I didn’t know because I was busy sleeping. I said I put my phone on silent. Even when the phone call came, I couldn’t find out. Did you call with such a blatant lie prepared?

But the moment my mom answered the phone. The moment I heard my mother’s unfamiliar, trembling voice. The bright red lies that I had prepared one by one had disappeared into whiteness.

My dad collapsed. It’s a hospital now. It’s called a stroke. So that was the first thing I unconsciously asked my mom.

I asked what a stroke was.

But my legs were already running. My heart was beating even faster. What did you say to the friends you were with? How did you catch a taxi and what did you say? Even now, I still can’t remember.

However, I still have one clear memory. It was my father’s face, lying with a lying expression on a white hospital bed.

But it looks just like that.

‘What. Emperor, why do you have the same face as my father back then?’

Rakiel took a deep breath.

I tried to calm my breathing. I bit my lip harshly. The numb pain drove away memories of the past. I got rid of the even more painful regret that memories throw at me.

‘Come to your senses, idiot. Is now the time to be procrastinating, remembering old memories?’

I pushed myself and regained my cool. Then the situation finally became clear.

The emperor fell.

I can understand the cause at a glance. The muscles on one side of the emperor’s face are all twisted. He is lying helpless, not even conscious. The body posture is also somehow unbalanced and unnatural. This means that the muscles in the body and the nerve signals that hold the muscles are all wrong.

‘stroke. ‘Medium wind.’

Rachiel asked the chamberlain.

“What happened?”

“I think I can give you the answer to that.”

The Chamberlain carefully stepped aside and pointed to one side. There was an older man there. It was my first time seeing this face. The older man lowered his head in this direction.

“His Majesty’s physician, Passaro, is coming to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Now, let’s start with the situation rather than complicated personnel matters. “How long has it been since your Majesty collapsed?”

“It’s been one night.”

“…what?”

Rakiel paused.

One night?

“Then what is the cause?”

“That…”

“What is the cause?”

“That was… last night. “After finishing his meal, His Majesty became strangely drunk.”

“Are you drunk? So weird? “What does that mean?”

“Your Majesty only drank a glass of wine. But he appeared drunk. His tongue seemed to be twisted, his speech was slurred, and his steps were unsteady. Therefore, we recommended that you take a break early.”

“….”

“So, His Majesty went to bed. But this morning, I saw….”

“It was like this?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“….”

Rakiel clenched his fists. After listening, I understand. Symptoms of being drunk for no reason. My speech becomes slurred and I cannot control my body properly.

‘These are typical stroke symptoms.’

But this doctor couldn’t figure it out. It’s probably just because the emperor’s condition has worsened. He went over the pages and recommended taking a break. While the emperor was in bed. The golden hour that seemed like a lifetime to deal with the early stages of a stroke was gone in vain.

But Rachiel did not get angry hastily. Now is a time when there is no time to even get angry. Solving the problem comes first. He asked again.

“So what did you do after discovering His Majesty the Emperor in the morning?”

“First, we diagnosed Your Majesty’s condition.”

“What are the diagnosis results?”

“I thought it was a symptom of severe paralysis caused by a severe headache.”

“so?”

“So, I combined the medicine I had and prescribed it.”

“What prescription?”

“We mainly combined medicines that are excellent for headaches and herbs that are excellent for relieving muscle paralysis.”

“Is that the end?”

“Of course there is more, Your Highness. We compressed His Majesty’s limb muscles with a towel soaked in hot water. “I think it’s thanks to that.”

“Thanks to you?”

“His Majesty’s facial distortion gradually stopped getting worse and stopped getting worse.”

“….”

Rakiel was at a loss for words.

Such prescriptions and measures are not enough. So much is lacking. However, the doctor does not know that his response is insufficient.

‘driving me crazy.’

If only there had been someone who accurately diagnosed the emperor’s condition last night. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have missed the golden hour. The emperor’s condition would not have been like this.

No, more than that, the emperor said he had quit smoking tobacco. I also heard that you are taking up the sword again and taking care of your health. But why did this happen?

‘If this is the case, there will be no difference from the development of the Demon Sword Emperor.’

Suddenly, the plot of the original novel The Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. The emperor collapses and dies from a stroke. The second prince who inherits the throne. War engulfs the empire. The imperial family is collapsing.

‘I can’t leave it like that.’

Of course, even if the emperor dies now, things will not unfold as they were in the original. The second prince will not inherit the throne. This one will be the emperor. But that is something that should never come true.

‘of course. ‘Then I won’t be able to last long and I’ll die.’

Rachiel closed her lips tightly. A steep calculation was made in my head. What would happen in the future was roughly predicted.

‘What if the emperor dies like this? Perhaps I will inherit the throne. Because he is the crown prince. Because I won the battle with the 2nd prince. Because that’s how I proved my qualifications. But at this point, is it beneficial for me to inherit the throne? no. never. Rather, it will result in shortening my life.’

It was easily predictable.

The position of emperor is never an idle one. This is a position where you have to deal with government affairs all day long without even being able to wake up.

Numerous political issues at home and abroad. Diplomatic issues with neighboring kingdoms. Even minor policies and conflicts between nobles. He is the captain of an aircraft carrier called an empire with hundreds of millions of people who must dedicate his life to coordinating all of them.

But what if the emperor suddenly dies and he takes over?

‘He is suddenly placed on the throne without a proper handover procedure. So what workload will I take on? There are so many that even saying they are enormous is not enough. From cleaning up the emperor’s sudden death, we will have to deal with the various conflicts and pending issues at home and abroad that arise as a result.’

If you think about it, it was natural.

What about domestic nobles? A fierce battle over wits will begin as a new power structure begins.

A person who wants to put a strain on the person sitting on the throne. A person who seeks to profit by taking advantage of that string. Even those who encourage conflict and try to take the lead. Many people will try to test this side’s political power and seek their own benefit.

‘Foreign countries… there’s nothing more to say.’

Many kingdoms surrounding the empire will try to go this way. There will be an international yet subtle battle of spirit. They will test the new emperor’s capabilities.

Is it something we should be careful about?

Is this someone you can take lightly?

I’m going to keep tapping on this side.

‘I can’t live being hit by a bomb like that. If that happens, I won’t be able to hold on for long and I’ll die.’

Rachiel felt serious. This wasn’t just a matter of not wanting to work. It was truly a serious, life-threatening issue.

‘Because I’m not healthy yet. ‘Because this body is still weak and sickly.’

That’s why.

Life expectancy is still less than 200 days. They are in a situation where they survive on the bonus life they earn by taking care of numerous patients.

But what if I suddenly become emperor now? What if you are overwhelmed by work that takes your breath away? Will I be able to find time to take care of patients?

‘No, not at all.’

Rakiel shook his head.

Realistically speaking, there will be no time to take care of patients. Then you won’t even get bonus life. Life expectancy cannot be increased.

Death will come.

You can’t avoid it.

Unstoppable.

‘That’s how it ends.’

gulp.

Calculation completed.

I picked a quote.

A conclusion has been reached.

‘If the emperor dies, I die too.’

So save it. You must survive unconditionally. Rakiel made a promise and approached the emperor’s bed. I calmed down. Mana Circle was activated.

Kiiiiing…!

The ring of mana surrounding the heart rotated. At the same time, the acupoint scanning option was activated.

‘First of all, diagnosis.’

Tsutsutsutsu-!

Increased concentration. Only one target. All I could see was the emperor lying down.

‘The cause of the stroke is the most important. please. I hope it’s not just a brain hemorrhage.’

Rachiel prayed earnestly in her heart.

Stroke is largely divided into two types. One is hemorrhagic, that is, cerebral hemorrhage caused by rupture of a cerebral blood vessel.

The other is ischemic, where thrombosis and atherosclerosis block blood vessels and stop supplying blood and oxygen to the brain.

Which of them has a higher mortality rate? In general, hemorrhagic stroke can be considered more dangerous.

‘please. please.’

Rakiel’s eyes moved quickly. He carefully examined the emperor’s mind. It’s like taking a CT scan. Like testing with an MRI. All areas inside the skull were explored. No significant bleeding area could be found.

‘Then the conclusion is ischemic stroke?’

But it was too early to be relieved.

Which part of the blood vessel is blocked? Therefore, we need to find out which part of the brain was deprived of oxygen and caused brain damage, or cerebral infarction. Only then can the possibility of recovery and the direction of treatment be determined.

Rakiel’s concentration increased even further.

To the point where my head was pounding like never before and my eyeballs were sore. I didn’t blink even once. I promised myself that I would not miss a single clue in the capillaries. I was determined. Concentration was further increased. Even more. to the end. To the limit. Even beyond.

And finally he found it.

‘what. ‘Isn’t this… a naturally occurring blood clot?’

With realization, my fists gained strength.
