Chapter 85: Lung Operation [3]
Translator: None Editor: One Mountain Guy
It has to be ended.
The operation or the life, that is the question.
It depended on ti and Makbong.
It seems that the ti for Makbong was not much.
Makbong was exhausted.
He looked like the next patient.
“Makbong”
Ganghyuk called his na gently.
If there was a person who did not feel sorry for Makbong in that situation, he was not human.
‘Eup’
Makbong had no strength to answer.
He looked at Ganghyuk to show he heard Ganghyuk’s call while keeping blowing.
“Please make your best.”
“Eup”
Ganghyuk started suture again after hearing Makbong’s short answer.
Whenever his hand moved, bronchial tubes were closed one by one.
As they were closed, the amount of air going out reduced. Makbong could find ti to breathe.
‘Yeoni and Dolseok, make your best to the end.’
Ganghyuk beca a gentleman.
It was natural for a doctor in operation to be irritated when the operation did not go as planned.
On the other hand, when it went well, he would be the one who becos happy and gentle.
“Yes, sir.”
Dolseok tried to read Ganghyuk’s mood while giving a sigh of relief.
One mont ago, he was as fierce as a lion as if he would kill soone but now he beca a Buddha.
The rumor in the marketplace was proven true, that Ganghyuk was an Asura (a ghost with dual face and dual character in the myth).
“Hugh, it is going to end.”
Ganghyuk stopped his hands after closing the last bronchial tube.
The thoracic cavity was still open, so Makbong had to blow the air, but it was much better than before.
Heo Jun opened his mouth finally.
“Blood pressure is 120/80. You said it was the normal number, right?”
“Yes, I am sorry for being rude during the operation.”
“No. I am sorry that I did not have ability to help you.”
Heo Jun rembered Ganghyuk in the operation.
He seed to know everything about the human body. He knew where the lung was and could find it even when he could not see clearly because of the blood and the broken rib cage.
He was a peerless doctor, Heo Jun believed.
‘Euigeumbu used him as a torturer.’
Heo Jun clicked his tongue feeling sorry for Ganghyuk.
It was well-known that Ganghyuk did torture Jeong Yeorip’s fellows, which made him notorious. Even the King knew him although he did not see Ganghyuk.
King Seonjo was not much interested in common people’s lives, but it was treason.
Therefore, he had interest in the case.
“Ok, now we should finish. The patient will soon be awake.”
Ganghyuk looked at Kim Kyehan who was still unconscious.
According to his calculation, he would be awake in 20 minutes.
‘I need to hurry up.’
Ganghyuk picked up the suture tools and moved his hands quickly.
It was much easier and simpler work than closing bronchial tubes.
He pulled muscles together and closed the skin.
Ganghyuk was an excellent surgeon so it did not take much ti.
Whenever his hands moved, the cut beca closed.
Chak chak
The sound of knotting filled the room.
Makbong who was released from the blowing job was taking a rest on the floor.
“Sir, am I ok now?”
Ganghyuk answered without watching him.
“You have strength to talk. It seems that you are ok.”
“Sir, I need your consolation.”
“Consolation? You are the one to console sobody. You are not the one to get it.”
“I cannot do that no matter who cos.”
Makbong murmured on the floor lying carelessly.
‘Yes, he did a good job.’
As a matter of fact, he did the biggest contribution to the success of the operation.
Who else could blow air for 2 hours without pause using the thick and large scrotum.
“I will give you sothing later.”
“Thank you, sir.”
After the conversation, Makbong did not move any more. He was lying on the floor like a corpse.
Ganghyuk concentrated on the suture and he could close the skin before Kim Kyehan woke up.
“Hugh”
“What should I do for him?”
Heo Jun asked looking the part of the lung and Kim Kyehan.
He did not have any idea because it was totally new to him.
This operation was beyond his imagination.
Fortunately, Ganghyuk was very responsible doctor for his patient.
“I will visit him every day. The pass that Lord Jeong Cheol gave is still valid.”
“Will you? Thank you.”
“Not at all. I am sorry that I did not co to you earlier.”
“No, I understand. You must have been very busy.”
Heo Jun rembered the things that he heard about Ganghyuk.
So people said that he was a peerless doctor who cured Ryu Seongyong’s disease.
So people said that he was a swindler doing strange treatnt conspiring with Lee Hangbok.
So people said that he was a torturer who made victims confess using a strange thod.
The stories ranged from this end to that end, so it was hard to believe that they were about one person.
But Heo Jun could let it go through one ear and out the other ear because he knew Ganghyuk.
“Yes, I was busy.”
Ganghyuk nodded his head smiling.
When he first ca to Hanyang, he intended to see Sunshin and Heo Jun.
He intended to et Heo Jun to talk about the herbs.
But he was involved in torture and beca a person who contributed to the Oksa.
‘It is better to happen earlier, because Imjinwaeran will follow soon.’
He could get trust of Jeong Cheol who was on the top of the power.
‘If I had power, I could have rejected the offer. But…’
If he had power…
If he was in a governnt office, he could do so actions.
But past is past. No useless regrets…
Oksa began and a lot of people were killed.
Ganghyuk did not know if it was good or bad.
The good thing was that he and his people were out of the massacre.
It consoled him.
“Eu”
“Oh, he is waking up.”
When the patient opened his eyes, Ganghyuk beca busy.
He was determined to concentrate on him.
‘He is the King’s servant. He is very close to Seonjo.’
If he told a good story to Seonjo, it might help Ganghyuk.
Seonjo might give him a good office or sothing.
Nobody knows the future.
Ganghyuk tried to show the best smile that he could make.
“Are you awake?”
“Ah. Eum”
Kim Kyehan did not know what happened.
He did not rember why he was lying on the futon.
The anesthetic that Ganghyuk made had an amnesia effect.
“What happened?”
“Do you rember we were talking?”
Kyehan tried to rember at Ganghyuk’s question.
He did not rember clearly but he rembered Ganghyuk’s face.
“Yes.”
“Good. I finished your treatnt. How do you feel?”
“Ah…”
Kyehan got up and looked at his body.
He had felt difficulties in breathing before sleeping.
But he did not feel any difficulties in breathing, although he had so pain in the chest.
“Better… Up. Cough.”
As he moved suddenly, it did stimulate his bronchial tubes.
Kim Kyehan coughed and spitted out phlegm.
In his phlegm, there were red blood rumps.
The person who spitted and one who saw it were shocked.
Hemoptysis was not usual.
“Heo.”
Heo Jun’s face beca dark.
He rembered the patient in Gwanggyomyeon.
When the patient spitted blood, Ganghyuk gave him up.
“Euk”
Kim Kyehan’s face was worth to see.
His face was as pale as a white paper.
The other people showed the sa anxiety on their faces.
Except Makbong, who was fainted on the floor, everyone showed anxiety.
“Sir, is he ok?”
“What should we do?”
Yeoni and Dolseok showed their anxiety.
Ganghyuk was calm.
“It is a good signal. You must cough and spit out more blood.”
Ganghyuk helped him to spit it out tapping his back.
Kyehan made a few coughs and spitted out blood lumps.
“Ho. Am I ok?”
Ganghyuk examined the lumps closely.
They were all clotted.
That ans there was no new blooding.
The blood in the operation was in the bronchial tubes and ca out.
Ganghyuk laughed and answered.
“You must know it by yourself. How do you feel? How is your breathing?”
“Eum. Oh…”
Kim Kyehan tried to have deep breaths and opened his eyes wide.
He felt a lot easier to breathe.
He felt as if he returned before the accident.
Except the pain that he felt in the chest.
“Good. Very good.”
“Yes, the blood was an old one to be removed. Don’t worry about it.”
“Heo”
Kim Kyehan did not know about the operation.
He could not help nodding his head.
Anyway, he felt better than before.
“Ok. Take a rest. Ah, don’t forget to take these dications.”
Ganghyuk took out antibiotics and anti-inflammatory dicines from the bag and gave them to Heo Jun.
Heo Jun put them in a small pouch and kept it in his chest.
“When should I give them to him?”
“Eum”
Ganghyuk looked at Kyehan.
It was better to fast for 6 hours after the systemic anesthetic.
It was because the modern anesthetic has muscle relaxant, too.
But Ganghyuk’s anesthetic did not have muscle relaxant.
‘But it is better to be cautions.’
If food made so problems, Heo Jun might not be able to respond to it properly.
“I do not have other things to do. I will stay. I will let you know when is the good ti.”
“Good.”
Heo Jun smiled and got a table.
As he was a doctor, he got a tea table rather than a drink table.
“This tea is very good. I got it as a reward, when I treated Prince Imhae. Have a sip.”
“Oh.”
Ganghyuk sipped the tea.
It was aromatic.
He liked the taste, too.
“Eum”
On the other hand, Dolseok, Yeoni and Makbong did not like it at all.
Yet Yeoju seed to enjoy it.
“How is it?”
“Good.”
“I am glad to hear that you like it.”
“How have you been? We have corresponded only. We have not t for a long ti.”
Ganghyuk said and Heo Jun laughed.
His face showed the ti that they had not seen each other.
He had many new wrinkles.
It seed that the life in the Naeeuiwon was not easy.
“I… there are many patients in the palace. The prince is not very healthy.”
“Prince? Do you an Prince Imhae?”
“No, Prince Imhae is fully recovered.”
“Then?”
“Prince Gwanghae is not well…”
