The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 36

Episode 36. Precise diagnosis method (1) Oriental

medicine clinic.

There is one in every neighborhood. However, it is a medical facility that only those who go there visit. That was the current status of Korean oriental medicine clinics. However, Rakiel and Lee Han of the past made efforts to change that.

‘of course. That way you won’t fail!’

For the development of the Oriental medicine community. Trying to change the perception of oriental medicine clinics. There was no such thing as a noble and holy ideal.

It was just to survive. This was to preserve the profits of the Oriental medicine clinic. It was to safely pay rent and loan interest, which was as scary as military service twice a month.

Always tried.

Caring for patients was essential. I tried to be a little kinder. Whenever elderly people who were slow to speak and act came over, I always opened my ears wide. He listened to the patients without once feeling frustrated. Particular attention was paid when children were patients.

Herbal medicine is bitter and tasteless. Getting acupuncture is painful and scary. So, an oriental medicine clinic is an unfamiliar and scary place. Perhaps because of that perception, child patients were often very nervous.

Be kind. Friendly but not burdensome. Match the children’s eye level. He would tell interesting stories and arouse interest. As a result, the children’s tension naturally eased.

He also became skilled in such techniques(?).

It was like that now too.

“Kids make fun of me all the time. “You’re just imitating me.”

“Did you even imitate it? “It was too much.”

“That’s why we fought yesterday too.”

“Ego. “Are you very upset?”

Rachiel cast Ujjujju. Georges, a child who had suddenly relaxed, pouted out his lower lip.

“But… I lost. Also, I started to feel strange and my vision became dark…”

“It became dark? “Are you feeling weird?”

“yes.”

“Was it painful?”

“That’s not it…”

The child shrugged his shoulders. Rachiel held the child’s hand. Did I feel energized by that warmth? The child’s mouth opened slowly.

“There are times when I suddenly feel strange. My body gets chills. Then, my whole body feels like it’s floating in the sky… and then falls to the floor. “From then on, my body stopped moving.”

“Aren’t you moving?”

“yes. not too bad. My whole body is shaking and tingling, the sky is moving away, and I can hear strange noises. I scream, then laugh, then cry, and then I come to my senses again. “I have no strength in my whole body.”

“That must have been scary.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But you endured it every time? “Are you brave, George?”

“What do you do if you’re brave? “They said I was possessed by an evil spirit, foaming at the mouth and doing strange things, so they made fun of me and beat me.”

“That’s not an evil spirit.”

“…yes?”

“Really. “I believe you.”

Raquiel patted Georges on the back. His words were not just comfort. It was really true and fact. The child’s wrist was gently grabbed while listening to the story. It was thanks to using the pulse skill naturally and secretly(?) through that wrist.

The results were as follows.

[Comprehensive opinion: Overall, the body is healthy. However, signs of epilepsy caused by irregular brain waves are detected. This can cause severe tonic-clonic seizures.]

‘…Epilepsy.’

A disease commonly referred to as ‘epilepsy’.

It was a disease that normally led to normal life, but due to an unexplained surge of brain waves, the patient suffered from convulsions throughout the body and lost consciousness.

‘It’s a much more painful symptom than I thought. In fact, it is a pain caused by abnormal brain waves, but it is misunderstood by people who are not familiar with it. Moreover, if you find out, it is a disease that more people suffer from than you might think.’

Rakiel recalled statistics he had seen before. Did you know that approximately 1 in 100 people suffer from epilepsy?

‘Even among celebrities, there were many people who suffered from epilepsy. It is said that Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union, the painter Vincent van Gogh, and the great writer Dostoevsky all suffered from epilepsy.’

This child is suffering from that too.

‘It must have been very painful.’

When I saw the child, I suddenly felt sad. Even in modern Korea, people with epilepsy often suffer from prejudice due to people around them wearing colored glasses. There were even unfortunate cases where people were treated like strange people even though it was a serious disease that required consideration. No, there were numerous.

Even in Korea, a modern society, this is the case. How much criticism did you get from those around you here?

How many times have they been ostracized and ostracized, saying ‘It’s because they’re possessed by an evil spirit’?

“Anyway, it’s not an evil spirit. “You’re not strange.”

“…really?”

“okay. My brother is the crown prince. “I’m right.”

“how?”

“If there is anyone who wants to complain about what I said, come to the villa.”

“Then Hwangtae… is your brother scolding you?”

“What is Hwang Tae? “Just bro.”

“….”

“Anyway, if there is someone who teases and harasses you by saying strange things, I will scold you.”

“So I don’t have to be sick anymore?”

“….”

the child asked.

Is it because it’s the first time someone outside of the family takes my side? Rakiel kept his mouth shut in response to that question, which even seemed to show a hint of anticipation.

I couldn’t answer hastily. It was a pity. Because it was a question that I could not dare to answer with certainty. Rachiel frowned faintly.

‘It’s good that epilepsy was discovered. thank god. I want to treat you too. But…’

The problem was that the child’s disease was epilepsy. I couldn’t figure out what was causing the epilepsy.

The pulse that he honed while running his own oriental medicine clinic? There was no point in doing that. Or the pulse skills gained here? Even with my skills, I couldn’t find the cause of the epilepsy.

‘The pulse skill level is too low.’

I already tried it a few times.

However, the only thing that still came to mind was the [Comprehensive opinion] item I saw earlier. It seemed like I would have to raise my skill level a lot to see a more precise diagnosis.

‘The causes of epilepsy are very diverse. How to properly uncover it? Unfortunately, oriental medicine does not work. You need to be admitted to the hospital and get a thorough diagnosis. In addition to a CT brain wave test, you also need to do a blood test, liver level, kidney function test, urine test, lumbar puncture, and blood culture. In addition, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET-CT) must also be performed.’

Only after carrying out all of these procedures and reading the test results from a specialist could the cause of the epilepsy be finally pinpointed.

But here?

‘It’s not even a guess.’

What if a patient with epilepsy comes to an oriental medicine clinic in Korea?

It’s not possible here. Oriental medicine clinics are said to be places people mainly visit to boost immunity, improve constitution, and maintain health. So in cases like this, you should go to a large general hospital rather than an oriental medicine clinic. They say that if you clumsily visit oriental medicine clinics, you will miss out on treatment. He was the one who would speak conscientiously and send patients away.

Honestly, I was a little confused.

‘We don’t even have testing equipment.’

How do we find the cause? What if you can’t find the cause? Of course, it is impossible to provide proper treatment.

‘Whoa.’

Thinking about it made me sigh. It became even more frustrating to not show such a thing in front of the child.

But that was then.

“…Hey brother?”

The child called this way. When I woke up from my thoughts, I noticed something strange about the child’s expression.

“I’m strange….”

“Huh?”

The child is already holding this sleeve tightly. The corners of the child’s lips were seen twitching. It wasn’t just the lips. My eyelids were also shaking irregularly.

“cold.”

A face that is very tired of something.

As if I had a scary dream. Or as if I’m falling into a nightmare that’s starting now. The child’s whole body began to convulse as if struck by lightning.

‘no way?’

The moment when Rachiel feels an ominous premonition.

“…Ugh….”

The child’s expression fell.

My eyes turned white. My neck tilted back and my shoulders shrunk. My whole body trembled and stiffened as if I had been shocked by an electric current. It was a generalized tonic-clonic seizure caused by epilepsy.

‘this.’

Rakiel urgently stretched out his hand. I picked up the child who was about to collapse and hugged him.

‘Why is it that I’m having a seizure now?’

I was embarrassed.

On the one hand, I understood it.

‘Probably because I was suddenly called to the villa and was nervous.’

Could it be that such a psychological state influenced the triggering of the seizure? Guessing that, I carefully laid the child down on the floor. Meanwhile, there was an uproar all around.

“Oh my child!”

“It is truly an evil spirit. “I’m possessed by an evil spirit!”

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, step down!”

The special forces and guards made a fuss. Sir Gardin was frightened and shouted for them to step down. Damian wordlessly gripped the hilt of his sword and his eyes flashed. The child’s sister-maid was crying and covering her mouth with both hands.

“It’s dangerous, Your Majesty!”

“Get away from the child!”

The guards came running. It seemed like they were going to snatch the child and throw him away at any moment. It was as if they were trying to keep an ominous entity away from us.

“stop!”

Suddenly, a shout came out.

Everyone flinched.

He spoke quickly to the frozen surroundings.

“It’s not an evil spirit. It’s a disease and it hurts. So don’t make a fuss. “Be quiet.”

“….”

“The one who is suffering and hurting the most right now is this child. “Patients must receive consideration and protection.”

“….”

“Someone go and get a pillow first.”

“Oh, I understand.”

One of the guards ran. Meanwhile, Sir Gardin approached cautiously.

“Your Majesty’s child… looks very distressed.”

“I guess so. “I’m shaking like this.”

It’s not that he wasn’t, Georges, who was lying on the floor, was shaking irregularly all over. I was tightening my whole body and then releasing it again and again. A look of sadness appeared in Lord Gardin’s eyes.

“It’s foaming at the mouth. Should I at least wipe it with a handkerchief?”

“No, never.”

Rakiel shook his head.

If you place a towel, etc. near your mouth during an epilepsy attack, it can cause serious trouble. The muscles of the entire body, even the jaw muscles, are contracting arbitrarily. If you bite and swallow a towel, your airway may become blocked.

“So leave it like this. “I turned my head to the side so the bubbles wouldn’t go into my airway.”

“Would you like me to… at least massage your arms and legs?”

“No, that doesn’t work either.”

It is a situation where the nerves of the entire body are running wild. What if you try a massage clumsily? Patients may reflexively exert excessive force on their muscles. If you’re unlucky, you’ll apply enough force to rupture your muscles.

“Then there’s nothing we can do for you…”

“Nothing. “Just watch over him and when the seizure ends, he will be droopy as if he has fainted, so I have no choice but to take care of him from then on.”

Speaking of which, it was a pity. It was also confusing that there was nothing I could do. Rachiel unbuttoned the child’s shirt while waiting for the seizure to subside. The belt was also loosened.

But it was in the meantime.

gradually.

slowly.

I felt something strange coming from the child.

‘…hmm?’

It was a flow of mana. It was the movement of mana flowing through the child’s body. Little by little, I could feel the flow and path of the mana running wild and running wild. It felt like watching the movement of ink spreading in water.

‘Why do I feel this?’

At first, I was puzzled for a moment.

But I soon realized it.

‘A hazy mind.’

The royal family’s secret method that he possessed. A mind method specialized in mana absorption, processing, amplification, and release.

‘In addition, it is said that it has the characteristic of being able to capture the flow of mana very sensitively.’

It was mentioned in detail in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. As soon as I remembered that,

‘wait for a sec.’

Enlightenment came.

Rakiel opened his eyes wide.

Mana is the circulation of energy. But what about yourself now? I am feeling the mana flowing through the child’s body through a faint meditation. This means that the circulation of energy flowing throughout the child’s body can be accurately diagnosed.

‘Maybe this… we can figure out the cause of epilepsy.’

It might be possible.

No, I think I can do it.

Knowledge of one’s own blood vessels. And the circulation of energy that can be understood through simple mental techniques. What if you combine the two?

‘Maybe a diagnosis as accurate as MRI will be possible.’

If we can diagnose it that way, we may be able to treat the child’s epilepsy. There was a glimmer of hope.

‘Let’s do it.’

The moment when you make up your mind.

Rachiel gently touched the child’s shoulder. The circle surrounding the heart was rotated at maximum power. It was the first time that his unique precision diagnostic method combining the dizzying heart technique was attempted.
