Dark-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 398

Episode 398: Cataract [5]

I went around three or four more places with my men.

Without adding a detailed explanation… … .

Because it was just terrible and there was nothing particularly helpful about it.

You might be wondering what on earth a 19th century guy could see that would make him feel terrible… … .

Perhaps you can empathize with me if you think about the emotions you feel when watching a scary or creepy movie.

‘Originally, when the part where a person recognizes its existence is damaged… … You said you felt more terrible, right? So, in the case of criminals who stab or disfigure the face, there is virtually no chance of reformation.’

How do I know these things?

That’s because there’s something called forensic science in medical school classes.

At first, I naturally thought that I would perform an autopsy, so I felt bad, but it turned out that our country’s support for forensic science was not enough to provide such education to individual students.

So, I went ahead with just the PPT, and that alone was better than other medical school students.

We still have a professor in the forensic science class, and since he is a famous person, he also works with the National Police Agency’s scientific investigation team, but I heard later that there are many other places that don’t have a professor at all.

Anyway, thanks to that connection, in addition to the professor’s lectures during the forensic science class, we were able to take lectures from people working in various fields, and one of them was a very famous profiler who had often appeared on TV just before I was here.

-I am the profiler who was in charge of the Yoo Young-cheol case. Nice to meet you.

Originally, being an external instructor was a very difficult job.

Seeing as they didn’t give grades directly, the kids weren’t interested unless the lecture was quite interesting.

And the vast majority of medical school lectures were difficult to enjoy.

Of course, Professor Lee Soo-hyuk, a legend in internal medicine… … People make a fuss about what’s more interesting than medicine, but I think that’s just because he’s good at it beyond a certain point.

For the reasons detailed above, external lectures were usually during nap time or, in severe cases, during school time, but that day was an exception.

I was already interested right from the introduction.

‘Actually, the lecture that day was one of the most memorable lectures I took during my six years of medical school.’

There was a lot of material, so there were many photos that anyone other than the detective in charge would have seen.

In addition, the explanation that followed was not only detailed but also interesting, so even though it was not a subject or lecture that was particularly important for grades, I will never forget it.

The important thing here is… … .

The part that ophthalmologists have damaged today is none other than the eyes.

Westerners didn’t hesitate because they read facial expressions with their mouths rather than their eyes, but isn’t that the case for us in the East?

Even the famous cat character, Key X, has eyes but no mouth, right?

So I heard that it is not very popular in the West and is only popular in the East… … Maybe it’s because I come from a culture that values ​​other people’s opinions, but today I was a bit like that.

‘Ah-oh. I don’t feel well… … .’

oh my god. I did everything to my eyes, really.

It’s not like you’re going to pluck out an eye with a needle.

They treat me with all sorts of chemicals… … .

There was a hissing sound.

From the snow!

It turned out that it was because I poured silver nitrate, but it wasn’t without reason.

-If you leave this cataract untreated, it will hurt your eyes.

The lens is melted to prevent glaucoma.

This means that glaucoma does not occur because the hardened lens becomes soft again.

Of course, this was at a time when we didn’t even know what glaucoma was, but it seemed to be effective.

It doesn’t mean you can see ahead.

Is it possible to see ahead while pouring something like this?

They say that if the intraocular pressure rises too much, eye pain occurs, so this is done to prevent it… … .

To be honest, I had no idea what to do during this time to combat the rising intraocular pressure, so I couldn’t come up with an alternative, so I just shut up.

While I was shutting up, I constantly had the feeling that the patients’ eyeballs were popping.

So, feeling like I was grasping at straws, I contacted many people.

“Ah, pyeong. “You found it?”

“yes. what… … there is?”

Among them, the one who responded the fastest was a chemist working in my lab.

Looking back at this guy’s performance so far, I don’t have any particular expectations.

But surprisingly, it was possible to hit a home run.

If you think about it, extracting cocaine from coca leaves isn’t a normal thing, is it?

Because of that, I ended up becoming the creator of cocaine without even realizing it, and it was also a pretty decisive reason why I gave up evaluating it later… … .

Whatever it was, one thing was clear that this guy had skills, so I asked him somewhat earnestly.

“There is. But I don’t know what this will be used for.”

“What is it?”

Anyway, as he was the kind of person who brought something every time he was called, this time was no exception.

Actually, this was natural.

I’m making money like shit, right?

They are making and selling decoctions of unknown identity, and these days, they are even selling plain water by disguising it as fluoride water.

Why do I have no remorse?

Nevertheless, the reason I can be proud of it is because I write like a politician.

A huge amount of money is being poured into not only support for people like the Brontë sisters, but also research.

Nevertheless, although nothing similar to the penicillin I really want is being released, new ones are being released.

“This actually comes from a poisonous plant.”

“Poisonous weed?”

However, when I heard that it was a poisonous plant, my interest cooled completely.

It’s not a herb, it’s a medicine from a poisonous herb… … .

‘No, no. In this era, medicine is poison and poison is medicine.’

It was because of common sense, but I quickly came to my senses.

In some ways, I thought it might be better in this era to find something based on poisonous plants.

“okay. It comes from an herb called Belladonna, but it wasn’t extracted in our lab, but in Germany? Where did it come from? “The method is not much different from cocaine extraction, so you can extract it straight away if you want.”

“What are the medicinal benefits? “Do you have a name?”

If it already came from somewhere else… … .

And if it is an ingredient that is still used in the 21st century… … .

Wouldn’t I know your name?

I asked with my heart pounding, and the chemist answered with a look that seemed like it was no big deal.

“Atropine.”

“Atropine!”

“why?”

“No, no.”

I knew from before that the more these people were upset, the more valuable it was.

First of all, anesthetics are like that.

I still don’t understand.

To have an item that has been around for decades and only use it for parties… … .

I really can’t believe that it happened even though I didn’t have any surgery at all.

Because of this, there are still times when I wonder if this world is really the Earth I originally came from… … .

‘It’s the same this time too!’

Atropine was already there… … .

“Well, I thought you knew. Isn’t this toxic? They say you can kill people knowingly or unknowingly. “Did you use it for a curse?”

And it is being used only as poison… … .

I don’t know if it would have been like that in the original history, but anyway, it was fortunate that it was already there.

“Be careful what you say. “Pyeong and I are one in the same body.”

“So, were the rumors true?”

Even if I don’t come forward, there is Liston who claims to be one body.

Nowadays, they are going a little too far and are suggesting that they form a diplomatic relationship… … .

Then, I thought we would sleep together, so I am keeping my distance for now.

‘Now that I think about it, when did you come again?’

Considering that he is so large and moves around secretly, it is clear that he is a martial artist.

Unless you have learned the walking method, where can you go? … .

Ah, that’s not what’s important right now.

“Can you make that?”

“Ah, I made it. “Will I come empty-handed?”

“Well done. Hmm… … .”

I had to confirm that the atropine was really the atropine I knew.

I didn’t think of stabbing him ignorantly.

This can be really dangerous.

If you inject it intravenously, your heart rate may increase rapidly and you may die.

It’s not that it’s not, it’s that the symptoms are similar to the curse I cast.

but… … .

“Try tilting your head back.”

“huh? why not. me?”

“You made it yourself. “Let’s give it a try.”

“No, this is poison? No, flat! Hey! “You apologized earlier for mentioning the curse!”

Just putting it in your eyes will only cause mydriasis.

If you put in too much, it will pass through the lacrimal glands into the nose and eventually into the throat, causing side effects throughout the body, but I have an eye dropper in my room.

Although it is not disinfected, there are tears in the eyes, so bacteria will not grow there.

It’ll probably be conjunctivitis if it grows out, so… … .

‘It’s going to hurt.’

Being a positive person who thinks as positively as possible, I enlisted Liston’s help and put two drops of atropine in his right eye.

“ouch!”

It seemed a little stinging.

It stung a little, but stayed quiet for now.

I remember a friend of mine who had cataract surgery said that the mydriatic medicine stings a bit, so I did that.

“Let’s wait a moment.”

“no… … I need to wash it off quickly! Save me! “My eyes hurt?”

“Shouldn’t you wait? “Adults are impatient.”

“Snow, snow!”

“ha ha ha. “It’s said to make hair grow, but they don’t want to make even an eye grow again.”

“This is crazy!”

Of course, the person involved couldn’t take it easy, so he said various things.

Well, it wasn’t really of any use.

If Liston presses hard, even if it’s a bear, it has to stay still.

It was normal for a middle-aged London man who once got into trouble while using laughing gas on cocaine and only Joseph, not Liston, showed up.

“uh… … uh! I can’t see! “It’s blurry!”

“huh? Pyeong, what about this?”

“It’s as expected.”

“Is it evil? “Are you a devil?”

“As expected, I expected it. “This guy has made many mistakes.”

“That’s not it… … “Please give me some light.”

Anyway, I moved closer to look into the other person’s eyes.

I had to hold the light because I needed to see the pupil reflection.

“help me! “There’s no need to start it with fire!”

“You must have done that much wrong!”

“it’s crazy? Are you crazy? How much dedication and service do I have… … “My nickname is Heonbong, now!”

“Don’t be a damn thing. “On something like drugs.”

I had to look at his eyes, so I held the lamp close to his face and there was no fuss.

But thanks to Liston, I couldn’t move at all.

Thanks to you, I am the apple of the other person’s eyes… … In other words, it was confirmed that the iris was fixed.

“older brother.”

“huh? Burn it?”

“No, look at your eyes.”

“Burn your eyes? no. uh… … ? Something… … “Somewhere else?”

Liston was certainly a man with a keen eye.

Even though I didn’t know the pupil reflex, or even if I did, I wasn’t familiar with it, I immediately noticed something strange when I saw it.

“Look carefully. “The left one’s pupil shrinks when you light it, right?”

“I see.”

“Not so on the right. “The pupils are still wide.”

“Huh… … I see. that’s interesting. Yes, but… … “How are you going to use this?”

Anyway.

I need to get the William Turner lens.
