Episode 53. If you get appendicitis here, you will die. (1)
“Are you okay here?”
The fireman was making a serious expression as he pressed his hand on the stomach of one of the field managers.
“It hurts so much.”
“Here?”
“It doesn’t hurt there.”
“How is this place?”
“Does it hurt… Keuuk!”
“Does it hurt more when you press it than when you press it?”
“Yes, it hurts a lot.”
“Have you had a stomach ache recently, no appetite, nausea, or fever?”
“yes. I had nothing to eat, but I felt sick to my stomach and often vomited to the point where the bitter water overflowed. I had a fever sotis.”
ha-.
A sigh escaped the fireman’s mouth.
‘I have strong rebound pain in the right lower abdon and it’s serious. It looks like appendicitis!’
But I’m not sure
It would be nice if I could beco clairvoyant like then… I tried to do it a few tis after that, but clairvoyance didn’t co out after that. Now, it’s to the point where I wonder if that ti was a fantasy.
‘I can’t even blindly split the boat.’
The fireman turned the patient to lie on his side. Then, he raised his strength with his index finger and pressed the front of his side.
“Now how about this one?”
“Aww!”
‘As expected, it’s appendicitis!’
The fireman let out a short sigh.
Appendicitis was a disease that would not be taken seriously in the future, but now it was almost a fatal disease.
Of course, most people in this era didn’t even know the term appendicitis, and just thought that if the right lower abdon hurts for several days, the day to die was imminent.
When the fireman’s complexion changed seriously, the field manager who was lying down and the field chiefs around him were naturally nervous.
“I heard that if the right lower abdon continues to hurt, you will die. Ho, am I like that?”
“It’s hard to explain, but listen carefully. If we leave it as it is, he will be gone within ten days. Right now, the uncle is inflad at the end of the intestine, called the appendix. The appendix could burst soon.”
“yes! It’s ten o’clock? That’s all… Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. If I die, the old mother and my now three-year-old daughter will starve to death.”
“It is not that there is no way.”
“yes? What is that, Senator!”
“You just need to cut out the inflad appendix.”
stop.
For a mont, a suspicious light appeared in the field manager’s eyes, who held the fireman’s hand tightly with an urgent face.
“If you want to cut that weight appendage… the stomach…”
“Yes. I have to open it. There is no other way to live.”
“Appendix is an intestine, right?”
“It is part of your intestines. It’s like a repository for beneficial bacteria that live in the large intestine, so there’s no big problem in surviving even if you cut it off. Well, if you catch a cold because your immunity is a little low, it will last for a long ti, but you have to accept that much.”
“Germ? keep? Congressman, I don’t know how difficult it is. I just heard from the congressman that Lieutenant Cho’s tetanus was also cured without amputating his leg. Can you really live by slicing open my belly and cutting out my intestines?”
“Chief Wu’s intestines over there were also ruptured after being hit by a bandit’s knife, but he was saved because I sewed them up.”
“yes yes. I heard. too… Please do it. I’ll do anything if you let live.”
“You did well.”
The painter thought for a while, then looked at the Pyochung and said.
“Anyway, it’s not a minor operation, sir.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
“How long does it take to make this by any chance?”
When the painter pointed to Kelly and the needle holder, Pyochung thought for a mont before opening his mouth.
“No matter how fast you make it, it takes more than three days. By the way, do you really need those tools to treat poop lice?”
“Poop? By any chance, isn’t this man’s na Dung?”
“Haha, is your na shit? The original na is Jeondong, but we call it shit as a nickna.”
“ah! Kick kick that’s right. By the way, boss, I don’t need the other tools right away, but I need a few more of these. How can I… not be faster?”
The fireman picked up Kelly.
“Isn’t it possible to cure the poop with just what you have now?”
“Even if I don’t have a tool, I can do it sohow. As hard as it is, the result may not be good.”
“Hmm, okay. First of all, I have one more set of instrunts I made to give to Congressman Bong.”
“Oh yeah? Having just one more makes it even easier. By the way, Congressman Bong asked Daeyajang to make this?”
“yes.”
The fireman shrugged.
‘I don’t even think of anyone to give rice cakes, but I’m drinking kimchi soup by myself.’
“Then I will write it first and give it to Congressman Bong.”
“no. I will make a new one for Congressman Bong, so Gongja take it.”
Pyochung hurriedly ran sowhere, as if he was in a hurry, and soon brought Kelly and a set of needle holder retractors.
“Here it is.”
“I will write well.”
“Yes, please save so shit. My wife died not too long ago, and without her, the family would not be able to eat anything.”
Even though Jeon Jeon was innocent, he was a person who deliberately beca the night manager of an all-night party by asking Pyo-chung to make a living.
“All right. Then, Mr. Dongi, don’t eat anything from now on and starve yourself until tomorrow morning.”
“yes! Are you going to starve?”
“yes. Then I can have surgery tomorrow morning.”
“Then you can’t eat dinner tonight?”
“yes. You shouldn’t even drink water.”
“Until water.”
“yes. Water is especially important. If you want to have surgery, don’t eat anything until tomorrow morning. It doesn’t matter if you go side to side.”
“I understand, chief.”
“why?”
“Excuse , but please bring ho so of my dinner.”
“okay. Don’t worry, I’ll bring it myself.”
“Thank you.”
“I hope the surgery goes well and you get better.”
“yes.”
The painter turned his head and looked at the pyochung.
“Sir, if you are going to have surgery tomorrow, you need a quiet and clean room.”
“I will keep the office clean and tidy.”
“Then, please prepare a brazier to boil water and heat the iron while cleaning.”
“All right.”
The painter set the surgery for Jeondong tomorrow and started treating other field workers.
Fortunately, the field chiefs with signs of tetanus were in the early stages, so they did not need to undergo surgery.
The painter silently repeated a series of procedures such as a few dical examinations and acupuncture and squeezing pus.
In fact, it is possible to inject internal dicine into a needle, but if you do that, there is a possibility that you will see this too easily, and above all, people will know that ‘inner dicine’ is to treat tetanus.
That is, the existence of penicillin was discovered.
The fireman didn’t want to be found out about it no matter what.
The painter finally connected the internal dicine to the needle, injected it into the blood vessel, and watched the progress.
* * *
The next morning,
the fireman put the electric motor in Pyochung’s office and took Oh Boman with him.
Actually, I’m not good at Obo yet, but I’ve been intensively training Kelly and Retractor for the past few days. In particular, since he taught about the role of helping with surgery in my spare ti, I intend to use it as an assistant.
“Obo, cover your mouth and wear a coat.”
“yes.”
The mouth covering was a mask, and the outerwear was a surgical gown.
Of course, it was not as sophisticated as the future, and it was made by hand and crude, but it was still usable.
Obo wore a mask and surgical gown with a nervous face. The painter also wore a mask and a surgical gown.
“Relax. It’s not that difficult. Just do as you say, and you won’t have any problems.”
“yes.”
The fireman laughed bitterly at the misinformation that he couldn’t relax at all.
‘Well, I can’t help but be nervous. Anyway, it would be nice to have one or two more…’
First of all, if you teach the misinformation well and then select two more people to assist, you will be able to perform a major operation later.
‘Still, Obo will adapt well even after seeing blood or human intestines.’
The painter had them wash their instrunts, such as needles and calli retractors, with spirits first, and then wash their hands with spirits.
‘Originally, I have to wear surgical gloves on my hands…’ I
couldn’t find rubber, so I tried to make surgical gloves with pig intestines, but I was failing every ti.
The fireman soothed the regret of the surgical gloves and looked at the electric motor.
“Calm it, soothe it! did you co to pick up? Can not be done. i can’t go yet Go away…”
Jeon Jeon was slowly losing his mind as he frantically searched for his wife who had died after drinking the anesthetic.
“Oboya, if the patient loses consciousness completely, check if he is breathing, and if he stops breathing during surgery, find an air bag made of pig urine and tell . I need artificial respiration.”
“yes.”
Obo placed a crude ambu made of bamboo flesh and pig urine at the patient’s bedside.
The fireman put needles on the patient’s stomach, legs and chest.
Fortunately, the patient passed out, but was still breathing well.
The painter waited for the needle to move the muscles and narrow the blood vessels.
The patient’s feet and legs were tightly tied, and after a while, the patient’s muscles began to wriggle and contract.
“Boy, take the iron out of the charcoal fire.”
“yes.”
As Obo pulled out the red-hot iron from the charcoal fire, the fireman raised a surgical knife.
“Dip it in water once and take it out.”
“yes.”
Chiiyi profit.
When Obo dipped the iron in the water and took it out, steam rose with the sound of boiling water.
The pharynx lost its red color and beca gray.
“Dip it once more and take it out.”
“yes.”
Chi profit.
“done. That should be enough. Hold it as it is, give it to if I give it to you.”
“yes.”
The fireman took a deep breath for a mont and then imdiately cut the patient’s stomach open with a knife.
Perhaps because the needle was inserted in advance, much less blood ca out than during the operation in the future.
“pharynx.”
“yes.”
When Obo handed over the pharynx, the fireman imdiately pierced the blood vessels and stopped the bleeding.
‘I don’t know when the anesthesia will end, so I have to finish it as soon as possible!’
Although it is an easy operation to remove the appendix, blood transfusion and blood pressure control are difficult. The fireman raised his concentration as much as possible.
After carefully separating the skin, muscles, and even the peritoneum, the intestines were revealed along with yellowish oil.
‘Though people in this era have less fat on their stomachs, so it’s easy to have surgery.’
“Hold the abdominal wall here.”
“yes.”
When the fireman’s horse ran out, Bo put the retractor into the crack and tried to open it.
slippery
However, perhaps because my hands were shaking, I couldn’t open them well and kept slipping.
The fireman saw it and hurriedly grabbed part of the retractor and helped it wide open.
“This side should be inserted between these gaps so that it does not slip.”
“yes.”
“pharynx.”
“yes.”
The fireman deflated the blood vessels once more with his pharynx, then inserted his fingers into his stomach to find the appendix.
‘It would be nice to have a portable one…..’
Portable is a portable X-ray. When I suddenly thought of the portable, the perspective I had in my eyes the last ti ca to mind again.
‘How on earth can I use it?’
The fireman put his hand inside the large intestine. The appendix was not easily found. When it was not found even after stirring between the large and small intestines several tis, the fireman also began to get a little nervous.
‘Please co out quickly. Hurry up and co out…..’
It was when about 5 minutes passed like that.
The fireman feels his vision blurry and is about to tell Bo to wipe his eyes, when suddenly an appendix from the inside cos into view.
‘Hut! This is…’
The fireman imdiately put his fingers in and pulled the appendix all the way.
A plump, swollen appendix appeared.
The fireman closed and opened his eyes again, and his vision returned to normal.
‘Is it related to concentration? Or desperate?’
Many thoughts ca to my mind, but now is not the ti to ponder them.
