Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 161

Episode 161 Experiment… … [3]

Hahahahaha… … .

I think it's still ringing in my ears.

No, actually I was laughing.

“Yes, yes. If you want to drink water, drink water. But if you drink it, you’ll throw up again. Keep that in mind. You’re turning away from real treatment because of your instincts.”

If Liston had come forward with brute force, he would not have just stood there dumbfounded, but would have gone and cried.

But fortunately, Liston seems to respect me quite a bit.

Thanks to that, our poor children could barely drink water.

‘Where on earth does the idea that I have to hold my thirst when I’m thirsty come from?’

No, being thirsty doesn't mean you're dehydrated…

uh?

How scary is dehydration.

They say that if there is not enough water, people will die?

Don't you know that 70% of humans are made up of water?

Oh, I don't know.

You might not know.

“Hey, you still drink a little too much. You had diarrhea earlier, didn’t you? I told you that if you drink this, you’ll have diarrhea again.”

Despite my thoughts, Liston continued to babble strangely.

It's only natural since I'm not talking but just thinking…

I could guarantee it.

That even if I talk, the result won't change.

“I’m sorry, Professor. My throat is so sore.”

“Yeah, well. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to experience the patient’s suffering while you’re at it. Yeah, but even so, the patient has to be starved.”

"yes yes."

“That’s how you survive. You guys are healthy and if something happens to us, okay?”

Liston doesn't know what to call his pet peeve, his scalpel, his fu*king doctor.

Anyway, he said while looking at the huge sword.

If you don't do this, I'll cut you with a knife, that's what he meant.

I'm not saying I'll kill you, I'm saying I'll give you blood…

'Whew.'

In fact, that was almost like saying I'm going to kill you.

"thank you!"

The student expressed his gratitude for those words and drank the water that I had been boiling and distilling for some time.

Does he know?

I truly believe that I am the one who should be thanking you.

Well, in a way, I was the one who started all this, but I really had no intention of experimenting with this… … .

“But are the kids still in that room okay?”

“I’m going to go and check again before I go to bed, just in case.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Looking at these guys, I don’t think they’ll be okay either. And… … .”

But Liston wasn't just constantly nagging.

He suddenly looked around at his boat and the others, including the ones who had just drunk the boiled water, and continued speaking.

“Your theory seems right. Certainly… … that. That strange thing seems to be a miasma. Well, that doesn’t mean the air theory is completely wrong, though… … .”

"yes yes."

If you're going well, you'll always end up with a sprain.

Why the air theory isn't completely wrong…

'Even in the air… … Yes. There can be bacteria and viruses.'

This could happen if an infected person coughed or sneezed, or if you defecate right in front of them.

But generally speaking, no.

I want to say no, but I can't because I'm forced to do so by logic.

When I say it like this, it sounds like I'm really ignorant, but if you listen, you'll understand.

“Yes, I actually believe more that it exists in the air.”

Blundell.

Whew.

“Right? I guess so. It’s been proven that there are a lot of miasmas in smelly water.”

“Yes. After boiling and distilling, surprisingly, the smell was much less. And there was less miasma. This is the discovery of the century.”

I know how to weave smell and miasma.

'I can now put to rest my worries that I am advancing medical advancements too quickly.'

It's not easy.

It's not easy.

really…….

I listened to the conversation that followed with a half-resigned expression, but also gratitude that things were progressing at least to this extent.

“I have to write a paper on this. Oh, sage. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to include your name. Instead of this, let’s go to the Paris conference together.”

“Oh, I guess so. But those uncivilized guys… … would they even understand our theory?”

“You can prove it again on the spot.”

“Aha. So there’s a very simple way.”

Paris.

It was a city I had never been to in my previous life.

This is a strange prejudice, but the people above thought that American conferences were places to study and European conferences were places to have fun.

The saying was that it was a place you couldn't go to unless you had a certain amount of jjambbap.

I died before I could even discuss Professor Naya's fried rice…

'By the way, it's proof.'

I didn't want to ask in detail.

Probably with a very high probability… … .

It must have been what he was trying to do now.

What is the river in Paris?

Oh, yeah, the Seine.

But is the Seine as dirty as the Thames?

It seems like the only city I learned about pollution during history classes and stuff is London…

'Should I just leave just in case? No, no. What am I thinking?'

I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a 19th century person because I've been surrounded by 19th century people.

People shouldn't be like this…

Oh my god, this shit is so innocent… … .

Are you without sin?

Suddenly, I remembered all the insults I had heard from people around me about the French.

If that's all true, or even half true, then the French weren't human.

'Can't we feed it to them? Our students ate it too.'

I had these bad thoughts and then quickly got up.

Students ate it too.

There were some racists among them.

No, actually, except for my close followers, I guess you could say that to some extent.

I hate all of this… … .

It wasn't enough to kill him though.

“Oh, should I go and see?”

"yes."

“Let’s go together. Come on, let’s go.”

"yes!"

So, as we got up, Liston and Blundell, who had been coming up with all sorts of novel ideas, like rat droppings, saying that we would have to feed the flies something more poisonous until then, followed us.

As the three professors came forward, the rest followed suit.

However, the students' expressions were not as bright as ours.

As time went by, the symptoms of the first batters who had been showing symptoms due to the toxin gradually improved, but no matter how I looked at them, their appearance did not look good.

Two of the kids who drank Thames water ended up sh**ting their pants, so it would be stranger if the guys who boiled that water and drank it had a happy expression.

Squeak.

But that doesn't mean we can say everything is okay here.

Besides, the ones who were in a hurry were not those who felt fake pain, but those who were really sick.

"eww……."

We were told to tell us if it hurt, but we were wrong.

If it hurts too much, you won't be able to speak.

In fact, the people who make the most noise in the emergency room are usually the ones who aren't very sick.

Of course, if I say this, patients with really painful diseases like urinary stones will come running with knives, but when a person is really in pain enough to shake their vitals, they can't even open their mouth.

I know this well, having also had to stand on duty in the trauma surgery department.

“I have a fever.”

“Huh. That’s strange.”

"yes?"

“Aren’t the ones that got sick first weaker? But these guys look sicker.”

ah.

Yeah, you could think of it that way.

okay…….

Because I don't know what a toxin is.

'under…….'

How should I explain it?

I was at a loss for a moment, so I decided to explain it to these people at their level.

This may be a bit misleading, but… … .

Actually, isn't there something like that?

“Wouldn’t it have been better for those guys to have vomited and had diarrhea first?”

“Aha. As expected, Hippocrates… … .”

“No, no, that’s not it… … It’s not the four humors theory.”

“Huh? Why? Vomiting and diarrhea, you know. They’re caused by too much fluid in our bodies.”

“That… … It’s not because of the miasma, is it? If it’s just because there’s so much of it in the first place, wouldn’t it be strange that this happens after eating the miasma?”

“Huh? Uh… …?”

good.

Liston was stunned.

It was a little funny to see such a big guy just standing there without saying anything.

Of course, it looks that way because I'm used to it, but it's still scary to just look at it.

Anyway, I didn't stop.

“The miasma has come out due to the diarrhea and vomiting… … Do you think things have gotten better over there?”

“Uh… … That seems to make sense too… … ?”

Liston is now completely stunned and inoperable.

It was okay.

Because there's nothing he can do here.

If someone were to cause a ruckus, then that would be another matter… … .

The only possible disturbances that could occur in this place were vomiting and diarrhea.

And no one else, not even Liston, could stop it.

'Fever… … It's a sign of infection. It's not good… … The only good thing is… … .'

It's not a very high fever.

Of course, it's a really primitive form of diagnosis, done by touching the palm of your hand, but it's not boiling over.

It's a situation where you just have to wonder what use a thermometer is…

Surprisingly, this did exist.

But it was really uncomfortable.

And it took a long time.

This… … even a thermometer requires considerable science.

'There are only two people who are excited. They are all on the corpse side. Hmm… … It's staphylococcus, that's it… … .'

Children who ate E. coli did not develop a fever, perhaps because their own E. coli was very strong at the time.

The children started to have more explosive diarrhea and vomiting than before, but the fact that they didn't have a fever means that whatever bacteria had entered the bloodstream didn't occur.

Of course, if you have diabetes or something like that, you may not have a fever even though the infection is progressing, but if you already have diabetes at this age, considering it was the 19th century, it should have been considered a natural death no matter what.

I'm not being cruel, it's true.

It was much later that insulin was developed.

“Okay, drink some water first! Drink it while you’re conscious!”

“If I drink water… … I’ll throw up again… … .”

“But it’s still absorbed! Then, once it enters your body… … yes, the miasma is diluted!”

“Ouch. This… … this weird thing… … ugh.”

If he lost consciousness, he had to be injected with IV fluids.

But that's dangerous.

Well, if you go into hypotensive shock, you have no choice but to eat it, but before that, you should eat it.

It was okay even though the savages refused.

It was because Liston, who was out of the stun, hit the back of the head.

I felt relieved when I saw the guy who was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

"do you want to die?"

Of course, it only lasted a little while.

No, but still… … .

Why would you want to die for someone who could actually die?

Then, after you really die… … .

I thought there was a very high chance that it would just be like that.

My older brother is a really scary person.

“Yes, I will drink.”

“Yeah. Drink it when I say it.”

"yes yes."

It seemed like he had forgotten the fact that he had already hit her without saying a word.

Since he couldn't forget the guy who got hit, he looked back at his brother with a rather aggrieved expression, but he didn't express his aggrieved feelings.

It looked too painful to do that.

Maybe you forgot your stomachache for a moment?

“You guys don’t drink?”

“Yes, I will drink.”

“Did you hear what I said earlier? There’s a high chance that Miasma caused this. If that’s the case, then drinking water like our Pyeong-i said would actually be a cure!”

oh…….

Yeah, it's moments like this that I like this guy.

You just understood it during that short stun period, right?

He is a young man with a promising future.
