110 Lets See Who Wins 1 (2/2)
”Oh.”
The patient responded at the diagnosis of Ganghyuk.
He had all symptoms that Ganghyuk had told.
The patient thought Ganghyuk was a divine doctor.
How could he know his symptoms after seeing his face only?
The patient and others near him looked at Ganghyuk with respect.
”If you touch here, you may feel fever.”
”Aha, it is very warm.”
”The treatment is…”
Ganghyuk wondered.
If he were in the hospital in that world, he would prescribe IV injection.
Although oral liquid therapy is good, IV is better and quicker.
However, he had only one IV set.
It should be used to a more critical situation.
'He has severe dehydration, but he has consciousness.”
He was young.
He looked physically strong.
At least there was not much probability that he would die soon.
”Dolseok”
He called Dolseok after making a decision.
Dolseok who way busy boiling water ran to him.
”Yes, sir.”
”Have you boiled water?”
”Yes, we have a big pot of boiled water now and we are heating up some other pots, too.”
”You are quick. Get some water here. Get salt and honey, too.”
Ganghyuk took out the measuring cup.
Although it was a measuring cup, it was not precise.
It looked like a liter cup roughly.
When he poured a liter saline in the bag, it was almost full.
”Yes, but it is very hot because it is a metal cup.”
”We cannot help it. Get some gauze.”
”Yes, ah, hot.”
Dolseok ran to him again with a cup of hot water.
He brought honey and salt in other hand.
He was a very faithful servant.
He did what he was told to do.
'If only he doesn't complain…'
He did what he had to, but he complained.
Ganghyuk could not understand why he incurred a whipping with complaints.
”Here you are.”
”Em. Good. Here are many patients. So you must boil and then cool it down without pause.”
”Yes, sir.”
Ganghyuk started to make oral liquid with the ingredients.
'What we have are honey, water and salt.'
He could not make oral liquid with good effects with these ingredients.
Considering the recent development in oral liquid, they were far behind.
'If only I have Pocari Sweat concentrate…'
But that could not be dreamed of in this world.
If you don't have a dime, use two nickels.
He must make it with those ingredients.
”First of all, we need salt.”
Fortunately, he could use syringe as a measuring spoon.
Ganghyuk measured 4g of salt using syringe and pour it into water.
Then he has 0.4% saline.
There must be some alien substances but it would not go to the veins directly, so it might be ok.
'I need some glucose.'
He thought he was lucky to have honey.
If not, he had no idea where he could get glucose equivalent.
'If I put it too much, it may induce diarrhea.'
For the purpose of nutrition supply, it is better to give the pure honey.
But if Ganghyuk gave pure honey to this patient, water in his body would be absorbed into his intestine because of the high osmotic pressure of honey.
It might be adding oil to the fire.
'Em, 50g would be enough.'
Ganghyuk put 50g honey to the water using the syringe.
As the water was still hot, honey was dissolved easily.
'It is 5% glucose solution.'
If he could add amino acid, it would be the icing on the cake.
But he did not have anything else than honey.
'There are things that I have to give up.'
He could not persist amino acid in Joseon.
It is impossible.
Even if there were facilities, he could not make it.
He forgot chemical const.i.tution long time ago.
”Ok. It is almost done.”
Ganghyuk made the oral solution and gave it to the patient.
While he was making the solution, it became lukewarm so it was good temperature to take.
The problem was the anxiety of the patient.
He had heard what Dongpa had shouted from the time he had been accepted.
”Can I take it? I will discharge again.”
”You will discharge even though you eat nothing. You must drink it to live.”
”Ah, I…”
”Drink it.”
”But…”
”Drink it.”
Dongpa laughed at Ganghyuk watching him quarreling with the patient.
In his eyes, Ganghyuk was crazy.
”Ah…”
”Drink it. If not, you will be dead.”
Ganghyuk gave him the oral solution and coerced to drink it.
The patient was thinking for some time and began drinking it.
He remembered Ganghyuk telling his symptoms exactly.
Gulp Gulp
Ganghyuk watched him drinking the oral solution.
He added this remark to Heo Jun and Heo Im.
”Did you see it? You can make like this.”
”Oho… they are discharging constantly. Is it ok to give them water?”
”Yes. We need to replenish as they lose a lot. If not, they will be dead.”
”Ha…”
While he was teaching Heo Jun and Heo Im, there was a fuss at the side that Ganghyuk was responsible for.
”Ah, here somebody has a fit. He froths at the mouth…”
