Cowpox vaccination could be a preventive measure, but it was a curing agent at the same time . Rather, it was the only treatment method at present .
'It is said that Jenner discovered this phenomenon thanks to the shepherds . '
Smallpox was a dreadful disease, both in the west and the east . Naturally, medical professionals had great interest in this, and Jenner innovated with an accidental discovery .
He had realized that the shepherds who milked were free from smallpox .
The phenomenon was there from the beginning, but it was Jenner who paid attention to it and ended up discovering the vaccination .
He used the method of injecting the pus of the cow or ox into people . It seemed like an ignorant method, but the effects were good .
'It was safe and effective . And now I am using that very method . '
Ganghyuk took all the discharge of the ox in the syringe as he worried about the overly quick advancement of medicine for a while . But, the present in this world was more important to him rather than the future that he did not know if he could go back to .
'I will inject this into the first patient . '
Although they would resist a little, he could say that it was a new acupuncture needle . Maybe they would not protest because of the pain then .
Squeak!
Ganghyuk opened the warehouse door and went in .
Cough!
He could hear coughs here and there; it was the room for the serious patients .
'Ugh, that's quite some odor . "
Ganghyuk went to the patient who had come first . Although he had had anti-inflammatory medication, his fever did not subside . His face was all red .
'He has become worse . '
It seemed that the disease had developed even more, which was natural because he did nothing but give anti-inflammatory medication .
"How do you feel?"
"Painful…"
The patient managed to answer with breathlessness . His lips were dry and red blood came out; he was clearly dehydrated .
"Goodness!"
If possible, Ganghyuk wanted to intubate and use ventilator treatment . He would feel far better if the patient could breathe properly .
'It's such a drag that we don't have such tools here . '
Ganghyuk gave him the Yanggyeoksan that Heo Jun had prepared while shaking his head .
"Do not swallow, but gargle with it . "
"Yes…"
Doing that did not add to the pain, so the patient gargled easily .
"Take this one . "
Ganghyuk then gave him the s...o...b..nghwalmyeongeum . The medicine was aromatic, as it had expensive ingredients such as rhubarb, lonicera flower, and frankincense .
He wished it would be as effective as good its aroma was .
"Okay . "
"Good!"
"Ugh…"
"I will give you some water acupuncture now . "
"Water acupuncture?"
"Yes, it is a good one . Stay still . '
Ganghyuk searched for the bag and took out a small IV set . It was only 500ml, and there was only one . It was insufficient to use for a dehydrated patient .
'But, it would better than nothing . '
If necessary, he could use the water that Dolseok and Yeoni had boiled . However, it was risky because too many unknown ingredients could come together .
'I would rather give it to him . '
Ganghyuk brought the needle near the patient while shaking his head . As it was a needle for giving large volume IV, the size was quite big .
"It is quite big . "
"It is effective though . Turn your head away . '
"Okay . "
Ganghyuk placed the needle on the back of the patient's handand paused .
'I have not done this for a while . The last time was when I was an intern . '
He was a professor, so who could dare ask him to give injection? Even a first year resident would not do that by himself .
"Phew . "
In Joseon, he had to do too many things that he did not usually do . It was fortunate that the patient had a strong vessel though .
Poke!
With the sound appeared red blood at the end of the needle . It meant that he did the job very well .
"Ouch!" The patient grunted
If one got an injection on the back of one's hand, they would know how painful it was .
Ganghyuk connected the IV with an indifferent facial expression .
"I have done one and I need to do another . Do not look at it . "
"Okay . "
It was the time to inject the vaccine . Ganghyuk then administered the pus from the ox to the patient .
"What is this on earth?"
"En…"
The patient felt something different because something had entered his body . So, Ganghyuk improvised, actually without any difficulty . He was a man of good speech, and an expert in making up a story .
"Medicine acupuncture . "
"Ah!"
Although it was not a very sincere answer, the patient had accepted it . Actually there would be no use to protest anyway .
"Next…" Ganghyuk looked around the warehouse . There were many patients even though he had only put the serious ones here .
'Luckily, we have enough syringes . '
It was not enough to give a shot to less serious patients, but they would be replenished the next morning .
He thus tried to finish with the serious patients first .
"Gargle with this, swallow it… Take it… and here . "
Ganghyuk used Yanggyeoksan, s...o...b..nghwalmyeongeum, anti-inflammatory meds, antibiotics, and then the vaccine .
All the patients in the warehouse were treated by him and fell asleep .
'I am dying . '
Of course, he had to do operations overnight sometimes because of the nature of his work . But, it was a really long time ago when he worked like this .
'I am not an intern . ' Ganghyuk came out of the warehouse while complaining .
Heo Jun was sitting on the floor . Ganghyuk could not see if he was mediating or sleeping . Yeoni and Yeoju were sleeping side by side as well .
Only Dolseok was awake .
"Sir, you came back . "
"Why are you not sleeping?"
"They wanted to go out, that's why . "
It was then that he found how Dolseok had blocked the door with his arm . There were complaints coming from the inside .
"Why?"
"Someone wants to go to the toilet and others want to go home . There are so many different reasons . "
"Hmm…"
Ganghyuk looked at the room . It was not a big room, but there were more than ten people . It was natural that they felt stiffy .
'But, I cannot help it .
If the governor sent soldiers, they would help in solving the problem . They might be able to get some houses near the clinic vacated and distribute the patients there .
"Ok, I will see if something can be done . "
"Are you good? You worked all night . "
"I am familiar with it . Go to sleep . "
"How can I sleep when my master is working?"
Ganghyuk stroked his head and pa.s.sed him to go to the room . They would feel better if he did something for them .
"Is it that difficult to follow? I told you to stay in the room . " He scolded the people in the room after opening the door .
They all looked at Ganghyuk; they could not complain to him even though their faces were full of complaints . They would not be able to easily see a n.o.bleman like him here as it was a very small town .
Hence, they could not protest against a real n.o.bleman .
Ganghyuk felt some discomfort from the silence of people . He opened his mouth again . "If you are roaming around, your village will be dangerous and your family will be put under risk . "
"…"
The room was very silent; they could not understand his statement . But, they followed the order because of his status .
As he did not expect an answer, he continued his speech, "I will examine you and give treatment . Come forward one by one .
Hearing the word 'treatment', they all came to him readily one by one . He was a famous doctor, anyway . Even though they had complaints, they wanted to have treatment for sure .
"Your mouth is OK, but pus blisters are coming up . Take it . "
"You have many blisters . You cannot eat with this mouth . Gargle with it and then have it . "
They were better than the patients in the warehouse, so it did not take long to finish up with them . Fortunately, Heo Jun had prepared enough medicine . But, it would not last tomorrow anyway .
"Sleep now . "
"Yes, sir . "
After finis.h.i.+ng up, Ganghyuk immediately went out . He was afraid of people wanting to go out as well .
"Ugh!"
Although it was summer, the air in the early morning was very fresh and pleasant . As he took in a deep breath, Dolseok came over . He looked very sleepy, as he was yawning .
"I told you to sleep . Why were you waiting?"
"Please go to bed, sir . I will stay here . " Dolsok pointed at the room that Ganghyuk just came out of . It seemed that they were indeed thinking of running away .
'Heo… It might have been better to send Yeoni instead of Makbong . "
"You mean to the governor?"
"Yes… It would have been easier for you to keep them in if Makbong were here . "
"I am sorry, sir . "
Ganghyuk was startled at the female voice; it was Yeoni, who just came out . She might have had been woken up because of their conversation .
"Did you hear?"
"Yes, I did . "
Her face was even more beautiful under the moonlight, especially the lips that were pushed forward .
"I meant…"
"I am better in martial arts . "
She probably was really angry . Men were never familiar with dealing with an angry woman . Although, it is better than a crying woman .
Ganghyuk scratched his head with an embarra.s.sed face as Dolseok laughed while watching him .
"Yes, I do . "
"Then, why did you think that Makbong would be better than me?"
"No…"
Ganghyuk opened his eyes after tilting his head for some time .
"Yes, it is because you are faster . If you were on the errand, you might have been able to come back by now . "
"Don't try to make an excuse . "
"Eo… Would you like to hit me?"
"Maybe . "
"Don't forget that I am a n.o.bleman . Dolseok, what are you doing now?"
If it were normal times, Dolseok might scold her and protect him . But right now, he was just watching them .
When looking at him closely, he found that he was actually enjoying this scene, considering that he was even whistling .
"I am no better than Yeoni, sir . "
"Heo… This fellow!"
Although Ganghyuk thought that Dolseok was being offensive, he could not move carelessly . But, Yeoni made the Teakyeon steps and smacked Dolseok instead .
Dolseok thought that she would not hit him anyway; but now that she did, it truly hurt .
Squeak!
The door was opened and someone ran out .
"Ah, there's a man . Stop him!"
Hearing Ganghyuk's remark, Yeoni moved quickly . She was like a flash as she warmed up with steps . In the next instant, the man who rushed out of the room fell down as Yeoni hit his back with a kick .
Dolseok and Ganghyuk closed the door again .
"Aiku" The man on the floor grunted . He was the guardian of the first patient, but he himself had become a patient a long time ago .
"I told you to stay there! Why did you come out?" Ganghyuk went to him while clicking his tongue .
The man answered, "I told him I wanted to go to the toilet . Can I go?"
Ganghyuk had placed a pot in the room so he could have a bowel movement . It was impossible for him to stay out of the room after all . Ganghyuk could not leave viruses roaming around .
"No . "
"Why not?"
"Eo… Ya… Ya!"
He might have been loosened because he was. .h.i.t in the waist; his face became very comfortable . At the same time, a bad odor filled up the yard .
"Oh my G.o.d!"
Yeoni or Dolseok had not been immunized yet .
'Should I clean it?'
But, there was no other way . Ganghyuk murmured with anger, "Makbong… Run fast! Run!"
