103 Backpain 1 (1/2)
”Eok”
The patient rubbed his chest because of the pain.
Although it was too tough, the effect was good.
”How do you feel?”
Ganghyuk held the hose that he took out from the patient's throat before Makbong hit the patient.
At the end of the hose, there was b.l.o.o.d.y phlegm and red blood was dropping to the floor.
As it was made of metal, it could not help making damages on the membrane.
It was natural to Ganghyuk but the patient thought differently.
His voice was trembling.
”What did you do to me?”
”I performed an operation. What do you think?”
”Operation?”
The patient covered his head with his hands with embarra.s.sed eyes.
The anesthetic made of Seomsu and Chooh was good, but it had a problem.
As it was too effective, it caused amnesia.
Ryu Seongyong was a very clever man, so it did not leave much aftermath.
But this common person may have chaotic moments.
”Operation… Ah, I drank something.”
”Yes, now you remember. Do you remember you had pains in eyes?”
”Eyes? Yes, I did.”
The patient looked at Dongpa.
They thought the patient would blame him because of his pains.
But he asked a question, which made all embarra.s.sed.
”What is the doctor doing there?”
The patient did not remember what happened to him just before his operation.
Dongpa was found bound and gagged.
On his trousers, there were vomits.
Therefore, the patient might think he was in a jail rather than in a clinic.
”He made noises while I treated you. Thus, I had to make him quiet. Quack!”
”Eup, eup.”
Dongpa acted sensitively to the word 'Quack'.
Dumb people become angry when they are called a dumb and a quack get angry when he is called a quack.
Ganghyuk ignored Dongpa and looked at the patient.
As always, an ocular inspection was the first thing to do.
'It seems he does not have pains.'
He did not use any local anesthetic in this operation, so there cannot be an effect of the anesthetic.
Seomsu, Chooh and blowfish toxin did not have a pain killing effect.
So if the patient does not have pain now, it means his status is good.
'He can see things without difficulties.'
We depended on our eyes more than we believe.
There was an article reporting the case that a person losing his function of equilibrium completely could walk properly depending on his eyesight.
It meant that there will be great disorder if the eyes are covered.
This patient did not look uncomfortable.
'Ok, now it is time to ask questions.'
Ganghyuk approached the patient who looked around with puzzled eyes.
”Hey.”
”Yes, yes, sir.”
As Ganghyuk held a hose in his hand, the patient answered shuddering his body.
”Why are you so much startled?”
”Hik”
Ganghyuk patted the shoulders of the patient to comfort him.
But the patient's response was different from what he expected.
”How do you feel with your eyes?”
”Eyes? Not painful at all. Thank you.”
”Good.”
It is natural that he did not feel pain any more as the hydatoid flew out.
Even now his tear drops were mixed with hydatoid.
'I wonder if his iris ok. I cut some of that.'
He learned that it would not make much difference to cut some of that.
But the problem was he did not know what 'some' would mean in this case.
”How do you see? Do you see the things well?”
”Eo? Yes, I can see things well.”
”Good. No difference?”
”My eyes are little bit dazzling.”
”Ah, yes.”
The iris might make some effects.
'But I saved him from blindness.'
If the holes that he had made would be blocked, that would make problems.
But the probability is very low.
'I made 3mm hole and it would not be blocked easily.'
Ganghyuk looked at Dongpa.
'If only Dongpa would not make the same mistake…'
The patient would not go to Dongpa again as he had severe pain in his eyes.
But Ganghyuk wanted to make it sure.
The patient looked very dumb and Dongpa did not acknowledge his fault at all.
”Good, your eyes will be ok, if you would not drink medicine that he prescribed.”
”Yes, sir. Thank you.”
”Good. Go now. Come back here every day for the check-up.”
”Yes, then what should I do with the medical fee?”
”Medical fee?”
”Yes.”
Ganghyuk looked at the patient.
He smelled bad.
If it was the first day that Ganghyuk arrived in Joseon, he would not go near to him.
The outfit he wore looked years old. It seems he had not washed the cloth for a long time.
'I don't want to get blood from a stone. And anyway, I made a practice.'
He had much money in Joseon and he doesn't want to be greedy.
Ganghyuk shook his head.
”It's ok. You can go.”
”Really?”
”Yes, go.”
”Thank you, sir.”
The patient left the clinic with a bright face.
Ganghyuk regretted the incident of that day later but he did not know what would happen later.
He felt sense of fulfillment as he had finished the eye operation successfully.
It was not only he but also Heo Jun who felt sense of fulfillment.
He told Ganghyuk with admiration.
”Wow, it is wonderful. You cured an eye disease. I have never dreamed of such a thing before.”
”Fortunately, I could sort it out. If it were not the glaucoma, I could not cure it.”
But it was not a perfect remedy.
Glaucoma which was caused by steroid mostly accompany cataract.
