I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Episode 4. Younger brothers (2)

“Yes.”

“Haha, what’s wrong with the guy who usually nags me to stop learning martial arts and read books?”

Try to die with one knife blow. Do you feel like reading a book?

The painter silently took a spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth to buy time to ruminate on his memories of his second brother.

Memories…..

Rough memories of one person could be recalled in a short amount of time while chewing rice.

‘He’s hot-tempered and doesn’t like to read, so he must have been scolded by his father and older brother. Every time I get scolded like that, I feel bad. Damn you beat me up Wasn’t the fireman dissatisfied with the rumors of a genius nearby? Well, I could do that… Hey, are you going to bother me in the future?’

The painter suddenly realized that while he was in the same space as his second brother, his body was slightly tense.

‘Hmm, even though you’re not doing anything, your body is tense? It must have been a mess.’

The fireman felt a little angry.

Although he is an older brother, he is only eighteen. In modern times, that’s about the second year of high school. Well, if you think of it as an age to go through puberty, there are things that might be like that… but anyway, I don’t have the heart to welcome you in the future.

‘Well, at my age, he’s a cute guy.’

When I changed my mind, the tension was relieved.

When the painter did not answer, the flower pot continued.

“I guess you still haven’t forgotten how you were chased by bandits yesterday?”

“I was kind of surprised. Everything I’ve learned so far is in vain. What will you do with the books you have accumulated after you die? I will try to learn martial arts at least enough to run away.”

“Yeah, well thought out. In fact, even if you use a proper spear and ride a horse, you won’t be caught by bandits. I just got a good horse a while ago, so if you want to learn horsemanship, go to Hoga Stable and borrow my horse.”

In an instant, the fireman’s eyes widened slightly.

“Did you buy a horse?”

An ordinary nobleman would have at least a few horses in his household and some servants to manage professionally, but the house of a fireman could not afford that.

Perhaps that is why the older brother paid the stable to take care of the horses.

“huh. The prefecture will open the door for appointment in March next year, so I plan to take the exam with my older brother.”

Han’s managerial appointment system was created during the reign of Emperor Wu, and there are two.

One was the department of filial piety, and the chiefs of local governments, such as sang and hyeongryeong, selected people with good filial piety and integrity and recommended them to the center, and the other was to pass the exam administered by Taehak.

Taehak had Dr. Oh Gyeong in the metropolitan area, and Dr. Oh Gyeong’s doctoral student resource took the past exam every year, and those who passed the first exam, Gyeong 1, were appointed as Nangjung Literature Django, a candidate for management.

If those who passed the 1st Gyeong take the exam one more time and pass the 2nd Gyeong, they will be recruited as Nanggwan, the lowest official in the imperial palace.

Even if you pass the 1st round, but fail to pass the 2nd round, you can still receive a government post.

Usually, in this process, the phenomenon of buying and selling government offices with bribes takes place.

The eldest brother, Hwa-bok, was a literature student who passed the first grade, but was still failing in the second grade.

In fact, in order to pass the 2nd round, you have to be a descendant of Kwon Moon-sei rather than ability, but Hwa-bok is not like that, so even if you continue to take the exam in the future, it will be difficult to become a crown prince.

Like Hwa-bok, there were about 100 people in Cho-hyeon alone who passed the 1st grade but failed to obtain government posts even in the provinces.

When opening the door to employment in the prefecture, the past examinations are conducted for military and miscellaneous examinations, and civil servants interview those who applied from among those who passed the first round, but it was usually difficult to pass without paying a bribe.

“Are you planning to apply for the martial arts exam?”

“huh.”

“Hyung, if you have the skills, you will definitely pass the exam.”

“of course.”

“Ttt, what kind of pride is it that Sadaebu applied for the military examination?”

At that time, the older brother clicked his tongue, and the younger brother avoided the older brother’s gaze with a shy expression.

The eldest brother opened his mouth to the fireman.

“If you treat someone who is good at martial arts as a subordinate, the body will of course be protected. So put your energy into reading and think about going into government service.”

“yes.”

By the time the fireman answered, the three brothers had finished eating.

“Once you’ve finished eating, let’s go see mother.”

“yes.”

The painter got up from his seat following his brothers and thought to himself.

‘Hyung, I thought your voice wouldn’t come out well, but it turns out surprisingly well. Anyway, looking back on my memory, all the government posts in the county office are occupied by Joga and Hahoo, so can the older brothers pass the exam?’

Although there are connections in the family, it is clear that it will be difficult to pass the exam if bribery is not used in the end. Looking at the family customs and the personalities of the older brothers, it seems that great people who use such expedients are not capable…

‘Me and this family are somehow gloomy.’

Looking at the two older brothers who are still young, somehow I can see Han Jin-soo in modern times. My friends and medical school classmates always looked at me and said this.

“Hey, kill your personality. What’s the point of hating the professor?”

“Hey man! Be patient. Is absurdity only here? wherever you go You know everything and move on. Why can’t you stand it?”

“Close your eyes and move on. Pretending not to see is also a skill. yes you know what What difference does it make if you reveal that?”

“girl friend? you stupid bastard I wasn’t going to tell you… Jiyoung is famous in that woman’s hospital. Only you don’t know, you sick bastard.”

food.

A moment of laughter came out.

Come to think of it, wasn’t there something different between you and your two older brothers?

For some reason, the painter realized that what he wanted to say to these two brothers was the same as the words he had heard in his previous life, and the painter felt absurd.

‘Even though the soul has changed, thoughts are greatly influenced by old memories. Well, I have to live as a member of this family from now on, so let’s always keep that in mind.’

On the way to the main house, the eldest brother opened his mouth.

“Oh, Won-hwa, don’t tell your mother that you met a bandit on the way back.”

“yes.”

As I opened the door and entered, the maid with a bottleneck slightly bowed her head.

Mother was already up and drinking water.

“When did mother wake up?”

“It just happened. Haewol, put a pillow on your back.”

“Yes ma’am.”

When the maid propped up a pillow and made her upper body recline, the mother’s face twisted with a sound of ‘ugh’.

The fireman who was furthest behind reflexively stepped forward and supported her. The painter asked, looking at the hand she held.

“Mom, are you sick here?”

“huh. uh! It’s won. When did you come?”

“I came last night, but my mother said she barely fell asleep, so I’m finally greeting you.”

“I came and went during the Chinese New Year… I don’t think it’s time to come yet.”

“I was worried when I heard that my mother was ill, so I made time for my studies.”

“Isn’t it serious enough that you have to stop studying and come back… Ugh!”

Mother stopped talking and grabbed her stomach again.

The painter reflexively took his mother’s hand.

“I’ll touch you for a second.”

“Ugh, it’s okay. It will get better soon after this, so don’t worry…”

The painter pressed the back of his mother’s hand, which was holding onto her upper right stomach.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a scream escaped her mouth.

“You’ll have to see a little more, but mother, this is not a light illness.”

The painter pressed the bottom of the ribs, the pit of the stomach, and the side with his fingertips several times.

Every time that happened, a terrifying scream erupted from her mouth.

“What are you doing?”

Perhaps startled by the sudden scream, the younger brother in the back hurriedly reached out and grabbed the fireman’s arm.

The fireman tried to shake off the grabbed arm, but it didn’t work out as if there was a big difference in strength.

“Brother, please let go. This is important.”

“What do you mean it’s important? How can a sick mother…”

“Brother! While I was in Xuzhou, I read a lot of scriptures, but I read medical books as well.”

“Are you trying to pretend to be a doctor just because you read a few lines of a medical book?”

“I’ll be better than most lawmakers, so let go of your hand.”

“Is medicine better than a clinic? You’ve heard of genius since you were young, and you’ve come to the top of your head to be very arrogant. Don’t you think that a lawmaker can only read medical books? You have to experience and treat countless patients to be called a clinic. If you read a few medical books and talk awkwardly, your mother’s illness will only get worse.”

The painter let go of the flower pot, but the atmosphere was threatening and he could not touch his mother’s belly again.

‘ha-. I can’t explain that I was a future doctor in my previous life and that I’m ten times better than the doctors here, and it’s frustrating.’

While the painter was thinking about it, the eldest brother, Hwabok, opened his mouth.

“I heard from Wang Sam-yi that you used needles to stitch up the intestines and stomach of a dying person after his stomach split open and his intestines came out.

“yes? Ah yes.”

When the painter hesitated and nodded, the eyes of not only the second older brother but also the mother and the maid widened.

Usually, when the stomach is split, bleeding is stopped to stop bleeding.

When the bleeding stops, apply gold spear medicine and apply a bandage to wait for recovery. Those with less deep wounds live, but those with protruding intestines usually do not.

By the way, did you sew the stomach? You said you sewed your intestines? This article was the first.

“Then is that person alive now?”

“Whoa-. I do not know.”

“I do not know? What do you mean?”

“That means you can live or you can’t.”

“no! fireman. I don’t understand what you are saying Isn’t that what you mean, that life and death are not due to your actions? If so, I’ll just let it die. You mean the intestines and stomach are sewn up?”

“I was aware of medicine and a person was dying in front of me. How can it stay the way it is? At least we should do what we can.”

“He said he would die anyway.”

This time, the second brother intervened.

“It will most likely die. And if he is very lucky and has strong vitality, he might live.”

“Can I live?”

“yes. Of course, the probability of dying is very high, but…”

The painter blurted out.

He changed his tone of asking as if picking flower pots. In particular, Hwabok listened to the painter’s words one by one and then opened his mouth with a very serious expression.

“Your attitude is like that of a doctor.”

“…..”

Originally, the painter barely held back the words “I’m a doctor.”

“good night. If your heart is, then your sincerity must be deep. Perhaps the heavens will help you, admiring your sincerity. yes i got it You should be careful and examine your mother from now on.”

“yes.”

The painter didn’t really like the current situation, but he made up his mind and looked after his mother’s illness.

“Mom, I will take a look.”

“Okay, try it.”

The painter lightly pressed the lower part of the mother’s stomach.

“How is this place?”

“It hurts a little, but it’s bearable.”

not upstairs.

“Then how is this place?”

“similar.”

Neither the stomach nor the liver is fine. First of all, the major organs are fine. If this is the case, then it must be cholecystitis caused by gallstones…

Hwa-bok was actually predicting the name of the disease when she saw her mother with jaundice on her eyes and skin and holding her right upper stomach.

Because it’s a symptom we’ve seen enough of.

However, in order to confirm it once again, I deliberately promoted it from another place.

“Mom, this time it may hurt a little.”

The fireman pressed his thumb under his right rib more lightly than before.

“How about here…”

“Ah! It hurts like being stabbed with a needle there.”

‘It’s also cholecystitis! How sick he must have been if he had had these symptoms for several months…’

The painter’s complexion naturally darkened.

You can know more clearly if you take a CT scan or do a blood test or urine test, but we couldn’t do that kind of test here.

However, based on clinical experience, cholecystitis was almost certain if he complained of both tenderness and reflex pain in the right upper abdomen along with jaundice.

Since cholecystitis is mostly caused by gallstones, it can be treated with laparoscopic surgery through a small hole in the stomach in modern times, but in this era it was a life-threatening disease.

Seeing that the painter’s complexion had darkened, the mother forcibly straightened her frown and opened her mouth.

“I am taking the decoction prescribed by the doctor, so I will get better soon. do not worry.”

“This is a disease that can be cured with decoction…”

The painter paused midway through his speech.

All of a sudden, a lot of knowledge about herbal medicines popped up in my head.

Of course, it was the contents of the medical books that the original owner, the painter, had read in Seoju.

‘what? I’m not even an oriental doctor, so I don’t need this kind of knowledge… Uh! Still, there’s a little something worth writing about.’

The painter slightly nodded and tilted his head while looking at the names of the medicinal materials and the revealed effects.

Although he was a surgeon, he knew the level of medicinal use known by common sense, so he compared it with that.

There were things that matched common sense that he knew, and there were things that did not.

‘Patients’ families sometimes gave patients herbal medicine decocted water… Now I know what that herbal medicine looks like.’

“I’d like to see my older brother’s prescription if he has one.”

“prescription! Wait a minute.”

Hwabok opened the dressing table drawer next to her mother’s bed and found the prescription.

‘Ginseng, deer antler, Angelica gigas, licorice. Huh~. What kind of quack wrote this prescription?’

Hwabok looked at the prescription and made an absurd expression.
