The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 104

Episode 104 Groundbreaking anesthesia method (1)

The battalion commander was detained.

The last opportunity had already been generously given to him. However, the battalion commander himself took that opportunity with the momentum of a shot to break through the atmosphere, so he had no intention of just looking at it and going to sleep.

“So you didn’t struggle when you were dragged away?”

“He was surprisingly calm.”

“Were you quiet?”

“yes.”

Rakiel opens her eyes wide in surprise. Damian nodded, looking at his prince.

“Instead, he just lowered his head and sighed as if the world had ended. “Now I’m done with the promotion and everything.”

“Well, that’s none of my business.”

Rachiel snorted. This is a camp for wounded soldiers. It is clearly a place designed to treat injured soldiers.

However, he was the one who neglected that duty. No, it went beyond the level of negligence and showed behavior bordering on sabotage. Even when suggestions for improvement were presented, they even seemed to reject them.

There was no reason whatsoever to forgive.

“Leave that person alone. I will inform the princess later. First of all, now-”

Rakiel looked around the inside of the battalion commander’s tent, which was now his property(?). Soldier Cernut, who caught the attention, flinched. They were soldiers who had brought in the wounded soldiers after receiving an order from the battalion commander earlier.

But Rakiel’s gaze did not rest on them.

“First, let’s start with the wounded soldiers here.”

He first looked at the details of the wounded soldiers who were brought in.

“Hmm….”

The situation wasn’t very good.

He was a wounded soldier who had been injured by an arrow. Two on the forearm and one on the side. I could see that a bandage had been wrapped around the spot where the arrowhead had been pulled out with clumsy workmanship.

But when was the last time these bandages were changed? To exaggerate a bit, it looked like mold was growing in the black blood stains that had soaked in.

Rakiel’s expression darkened.

‘The wound itself is not fatal. But the management is so messed up. If this continues, I won’t be able to save anyone.’

It was truly miserable. Rachiel once again sighed at the perception and treatment of wounded soldiers in this world.

‘Now that I think about it, there was a very slight part in the novel The Demon Sword Emperor’s war scene that described this situation. With a background description that seemed to pass by for a moment.’

It suddenly occurred to me.

Was it an episode where Damien was caught up in the great war between Amboise and Magentano? What was that fingerprint in the novel?

[The sight of wounded soldiers lying everywhere. They were abandoned and left to die by the lords who mobilized them. Damian frowned at that sight. Even though the injured soldier was as good as dead, it was something that could not be helped, but I couldn’t help but feel sad to see him like that.]

… I think he said.

‘At the time, it seemed like a passing description, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. I really didn’t know that was such an accurate description.’

The more I thought about it, the more I sighed.

How does it compare to Earth’s history? I thought it was roughly around the 17th or 18th century.

‘In fact, even if you go back to the mid-1800s, you don’t have to go far on Earth, and the treatment of wounded soldiers was extremely poor. Why did the nightingale become famous? That’s because he is a person who presented a new concept for managing wounded on the battlefield.’

The situation of wounded soldiers on pre-modern battlefields was bleak. But Rachiel had no intention of leaving this as is.

We will save as many wounded soldiers as possible. You will receive a lot of bonus life. He gave the command with a sharp promise in mind.

“Damian.”

“Yes, Master Rihan.”

“Bring me Lord Gardin right now.”

“All right.”

After a while, Sir Gardin entered the tent. I was startled even before I could bow. His eyes were already fixed on the wounded soldier.

“What does it look like to you?”

“I need emergency surgery right away… Master.”

“yes?”

“yes.”

Sir Gardin’s eyes were shining brighter than any moment I had ever seen. Rakiel smiled happily inwardly.

‘also. ‘It’s a good thing you brought Sir Gardin with you.’

There was something I learned recently. It was a fact about Sir Gardin’s specialty.

‘Lord Gardin revealed something not long ago. In fact, his specialty is surgery. So when all the other doctors ran away and I was the only one left by my side, I was honestly at a loss.’

This was the first thing I learned.

In the novel, there was almost no description of Sir Gardin, who was merely an extra. Of course, it was not revealed what Sir Gardin’s specialty was or what part of medicine he majored in.

‘But if Sir Gardin specializes in surgery… he’s exactly the kind of talent I need.’

Rakiel reflected on the Korean medicine curriculum he had learned at the Oriental Medicine School. It’s not that I didn’t receive any surgery-related education there. I learned emergency medicine and surgery during my main course. I also went through anatomy and anatomical practice.

But that was all.

After graduation, I had no experience in surgical procedures. So, there were often difficult times while running the annex oriental medicine clinic.

But what if Sir Gardin provides support with his surgical skills?

‘I can make up for my biggest weakness. ‘We will be able to dramatically expand the scope of treatment.’

In particular, what about treating wounded soldiers in battlefields where all kinds of trauma are rampant? Lord Gardin’s assistance will be essential. So I brought you here.

Now it was time to check that skill.

“Then can you perform emergency surgery right now?”

“Yes, of course.”

I asked with anticipation.

Sir Gardin nodded confidently. He put his large backpack down on the table. I opened my backpack. They began to neatly line up the surgical tools on the table.

However, the shape of the tools was a little strange.

Teotuk!

The first tool Sir Gardin put on the table was a surgical knife. The scalpel you often see in dramas and movies? It wasn’t similar to that at all.

If I had to pick something similar, it would be rather…

‘It looks like a scythe? Why is the blade so long and big? It looks like the jungle sword was bent forward at all?’

No matter how you look at it, it was not a surgical tool. It would have been more accurate to say that it was a knife used by a maniac to cut off a criminal’s neck.

Did he realize the devastated(?) look in his eyes? Sir Gardin said, smiling shyly.

“It is a knife that tears flesh. “It is used to cut off skin and muscles during amputation surgery.”

“…that is?”

“Yes, master. The blade is heavy and curved forward, allowing you to cut large pieces of muscle at once with little effort. And this…”

Burst!

This time the saw appeared on the table. Of course, it was an unusual visual.

‘I think I saw that. ‘That’s a rope saw sold at a hardware store.’

It looks almost identical to the two-pronged rope saw sold at hardware stores. Lord Gardin said, still looking shy.

“It’s a bone saw. Human bones are so hard. This is an essential tool to complete limb amputation surgery as quickly as possible. The faster it’s done, the less pain and bleeding there will be. For reference, I can cut off the long leg bone in less than 3 minutes.”

“Within 3 minutes?”

“yes. At that level, three out of four people can be saved. Oh, and this is an even more special tool.”

Teotuk!

The weapon(?) that appeared this time was a tool that resembled a chainsaw. No, it was actually an item with a handle attached to one side of the chainsaw that could be turned manually.

Rachiel asked with a fainting feeling.

“Surely that’s not a chain saw?”

“How did you know?”

“….”

“This is a saw where you manually rotate the chain saw blade. It is a saw used to grind down parts of the skull or areas that are difficult to use with a bone knife. This is the latest product I purchased recently.”

“uh. “That would be nice.”

“of course. And this, this, this…”

Chin tuck! chin!

Afterwards, various torture and surgical tools showed off their hideous visuals.

An arrowhead remover that tears raw flesh open and pulls out the arrowheads inside. An artificial leech device that pierces the skin with several spikes at once to extract a large amount of blood. A skull piercer that clearly looks like an execution tool. There is even a rectal enema that opens a person’s anus wide by forcibly blowing out fresh air.

Beneath Lord Gardin’s embarrassed expression.

A variety of torture tools.

He steadily revealed his shy appearance.

Rakiel, who was watching this, asked without realizing it.

“Are you really trying to get me to confess the location of the secret base using these?”

“…yes?”

“Oh no. Just kidding. I was a little surprised. By the way, what about anesthesia?”

Rachiel asked.

I thought anesthesia would be essential to use such harsh surgical tools. It was natural. However, Sir Gardin asked back as if it was not obvious.

“What is anesthesia…?”

“uh?”

“Ah, Master, were you asking how to relieve the patient’s pain? “Of course there is such a way.”

“okay?”

thank god. My heart sank when I was asked what anesthesia was.

Rachiel breathed a sigh of relief. But that was too hasty reassurance.

“Usually, they mix strong rum with opium and drink it.”

“…uh?”

“Then the patient becomes speechless. It is much better than undergoing surgery with a sober mind. “The number of cases of being crushed or dying has decreased considerably.”

“….”

“But in my experience, rum is not very good. So I use a different method.”

“other way? which?”

please.

A little more normal way.

I had a glimmer of hope. But that hope was quickly shattered.

“Vodka is much better. Just add lemon juice to vodka and mix it with opium.”

“…Then what gets better?”

“Patients like it because it tastes better.”

“….”

“If the patient tastes a little more delicious alcohol before a scary surgery, the patient will also gain a little courage.”

“Fuck you.”

“…yes?”

“No, it’s okay if you didn’t hear it. “Anyway, what kind of surgery are you going to have now?”

“It is an amputation surgery.”

“what?”

“First, I think it would be a good idea to cut off the arm on the side that was hit by the arrow.”

“…it’s okay.”

“yes?”

“Put away those torture or surgical tools right away.”

Rakiel ordered with disgust. Sir Gardin tilted his head.

“You’re saying you’re putting surgical tools in it, so you’re not performing surgery now?”

“uh. It’s not that I don’t do it, it’s that I can’t.”

“Why?”

“You can’t kill the patient right away.”

He spoke with confidence.

From what I’ve heard, it’s an incredibly ignorant, anesthesia-free surgery performed with heavy drinking of alcohol laced with narcotics. But what about the wounded soldiers who have been brought in now? It was already in bad condition.

The fever was boiling, probably because the injured area was infected. Not only had his physical strength dropped to the bottom, but his immunity had also dropped significantly.

But what if surgery is performed without anesthesia in these conditions? What if it’s even an amputation surgery to cut off the arm?

‘The patient can’t stand it. ‘You’ll most likely die.’

Rakiel had a bitter taste in his mouth.

He had not come to treat a living person like this. I wanted to save wounded soldiers through efficient medical treatment.

Then what?

‘Anesthesia is essential.’

Cut off limbs or whatever. Even for light suturing surgery, anesthesia will be essential.

He forced everyone, including Lord Gardin, to step down. With only the wounded soldier and the two of them left, intense deliberation and deliberation began.

‘anesthesia. We need an efficient, fast and safe anesthesia method.’

Sir Gardin’s method, which I had hoped for, was absolutely impossible. So what is the other way? Should I try acupuncture? What nerve disruption procedure was performed on Anis and the Werewolf nurses?

‘No, no. That’s because it’s a method of replacing nerves from a specific area with sensation from another body part. ‘It can’t eliminate the pain itself.’

It just makes you feel the pain you felt in your arm somewhere else. In other words, the pain itself does not go away. This means there is no anesthetic effect.

‘Rather, the paralysis poison stolen from Kusman? no. ‘The risks are too great compared to the effect of blocking pain nerves.’

So what should we do? What method should be used to anesthetize a wounded soldier? I was in the midst of intense thinking.

Ding dong!

[The five organs and six parts overhear your concerns and show interest.]

[Heart: Anesthesia? Relieve the pain? Wow, what a weak mind. Isn’t it enough to endure that level of evil with courage and spirit?]

[Lungs: Huh! Pop! Huh! Scam! Haha]

[Captain: Oh, but if you’re going to have surgery, it’s better if it

doesn’t hurt.] [Liver: If it’s a pain you can’t avoid anyway, shouldn’t you enjoy it?]

[Stomach: Oh, if you’re in trouble, try unlocking a skill. What’s the use of collecting HP?]

[Ojangyukbu encouraged you and sponsored 100 HP.]

[Currently your HP: 4900]

“….”

Okay. skill. Maybe there is a way. Rakiel clicked his tongue as he thought of a possibility.

‘Tsk. I wanted to save my HP if possible.’

It was HP that could not be obtained at any time.

It was such a valuable resource.

I didn’t want to waste it.

If possible, I wanted to use it to raise the level of skills I had in times of desperate need.

But now?

‘Successful anesthesia is the most urgent priority.’

If that doesn’t work, nothing will work. All the rewards of going through all the trouble to get to Amboise are gone.

So let’s explore the possibilities. Let’s try every possible method. Rachiel made a decision.

‘Because every time I unlocked a skill, I got an unexpected additional function. By acquiring the pulse skill, I was able to obtain comprehensive examination and acupoint scanning, and by acquiring the herbal medicine preparation skill, I was able to accurately analyze the ingredients and efficacy of the herbal medicine I prepared.’

Also, what about medical billing skills?

It gave us the most valuable option: acquiring bonus life.

‘So let’s try it.’

Skills that you can unlock. Maybe there is a useful option for anesthesia among them. It felt like a possibility. I made up my mind and opened the system window.

The response came immediately.

Ding dong!

[View the list of skills that can be unlocked.]

Huaaaaa!

The sight before my eyes became bright.

The message grew longer and longer. A clear list appeared before my eyes.

〈List of unlockable skills〉

[1. Acupuncture]

[2. Cupping]

[3. Moxibustion]

[4. Medicinal substance identification]

[5. Herbal search]

[6. [Medicine Casting]

[7…]

Up to this point, it was the same as before. However, a new list had appeared at the very bottom.

[7. My hand is weak]

‘Huh?’

Rachiel, who was looking at the list, paused. Suddenly, one possibility appeared like a flash of light.

‘…no way?’
