The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 42

Episode 42. Opening of a villa oriental medicine clinic (2)

I have become extremely busy.

It was because of the grand opening.

The villa became crowded. This was thanks to the influx of patients and customers.

‘This is why business is open(?)!’

Rachiel cried out in delight.

Open mouth is important in everything. If it were a fight, he would win first and foremost. As a singer, the sound recording performance on the first day of releasing a new song is high. It is the open mouth of the business that allows us to predict the opening of such an opening.

Afterwards, you have to worry about keeping your grades up and things like that. First of all, you need to look at the open lip as large as possible. If the open teeth are small, the back core also becomes small.

But now?

‘That’s awesome.’

My shoulders suddenly trembled. Was it because of that? The patient, whose wrist was being held by this person while receiving a pulse, flinched.

“I’m sorry for my sins… Yellow Pine, no, I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Your Highness!”

The woman, who had sparse gray hair, didn’t know what to do. Even if the treatment is provided for free. Even if there is no distinction between status and property.

Nevertheless, because this is a villa. Because this is the crown prince. I guess I still haven’t been able to shake off the burden and pressure that those facts convey.

But Rachiel did not show it. He didn’t even gently tell me to say it was okay or not to do that.

‘Rather, such a reaction would be more burdensome.’

Human psychology is such that if you tell people not to do something, they want to do it more. Telling people not to feel burdened is even more burdensome.

When the chairman of a large company taps the shoulder and says, ‘Don’t be burdened, hehehe,’ the burden on the employee who encounters that smile will be greatly eased.

So it was.

Rachiel just smiled. He acted as if he didn’t even see the lady’s reaction.

“Fortunately, my Mac is normal. “You said you’ve been sneezing every morning and evening lately, your nose is sore, and your eyes are constantly watering, right?”

“Yes, yes… Your Highness.”

The lady became even more nervous at this gentle way of speaking. It’s an honorific title given to the crown prince. It will be embarrassing.

However, Rakiel did not deliberately change his tone. This was comfortable for me. He had lived as an Oriental medicine doctor for quite a long time. Then, an oriental medicine clinic finally opened here. Will you encounter patients in this space?

As if he were an occupational disease, his old friendly tone came out naturally. It was a consultation mode (?) of kindness and listening that can be said to be essential skills for Oriental medicine doctors.

“Feel free to just tell us your symptoms. Because now I am a medical professional, not a crown prince. Because that person is a patient. Anyway, the symptoms get worst in the spring and fall seasons like now, right? “It’s like that every year, right?”

“How did you know that?”

“I was similar. “It’s rhinitis.”

“Rhinitis…?”

“Because it is such a chronic disease, a complete cure will be difficult. Instead, I will give you a prescription to relieve your symptoms.”

Ssuk suk sak sak!

A lady’s constitution that can be felt as a pulse. I wrote a prescription for Socheongryongtang (小靑龍湯), which is a good match for that constitution.

“Your water metabolism will not be good normally. There is also water accumulated in the stomach called intragastric water. Do you often feel like phlegm is boiling? Especially right after eating hot soupy food. Is that correct?”

“yes? yes. that’s right.”

“The decoction you will receive contains many ingredients. Ephedra and cinnamon will have a divergent effect, and peony and Schisandra chinensis will have a converging effect. It will have a great effect on your body and health. “Ephedra and Schisandra licorice will help with anti-allergy effects.”

“Oh yes….”

“Now, take it as written on the prescription here. “Be sure to follow the number and time of doses.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

“it’s okay. First, take it consistently and come back in 10 days. Next patient!”

The next patient came in.

That’s how I did the pulse and diagnosis. Give needles to patients who need them. Sometimes I do moxibustion. Most of them gave prescriptions for herbal medicine.

Many patients passed through him throughout the morning. It was a series of treatments without even a moment to catch a breath.

‘Whoa. dizzy.’

Because my physical strength was still low, I felt dizzy from time to time. But Rachiel endured it with all her might. But it was like that.

Ding dong!

[You have gained sufficient experience by treating a certain number of patients.]

[With this experience as a foundation, the

skill will be further improved.]

[The level of the Jinmaek skill has increased.]

‘Oh.’

I was secretly looking forward to it just in case. As expected, my pulse skill grew. Rakiel’s eyes sparkled like a puppy that heard the sound of eating a snack.

[Skill Name: Jinmaek Lv. 2]

[Diagnose the health condition by taking the subject’s pulse. You can check the results of your pulse at a glance through the ‘Comprehensive Checkup Table’. Also, by consulting with the five organs and six parts of the patient’s body that you awakened, we were able to diagnose the condition in more detail.]

‘…What?’

Rakiel tilted his head.

Are you saying that the five organs and six parts awakened by this side consult with the five internal organs and six parts of the same area of the patient? At first, I thought they were just forgetting about it with a one-shot.

But it was the next moment.

Ding dong!

[The five organs and six parts participate in the pulse.]

[The heart relaxes the body.]

[The lungs take a deep breath.]

[The captain shows the lamprey ascension dance.]

[The liver brings a lot of anti-fatigue medicine.]

“….”

It was absurd.

But what was even more absurd was the fact that the five organs and six parts of the patient actually started consulting with the patient’s five organs and six parts.

[Heart: Guys, it’s a blind date. Bring your tools.]

[Lung: I’m excited… Huh… Pahak….]

[Captain: I can’t stand a blind date lol]

[Soy Sauce: …Brothers, come to your senses! The other person is a grandfather!]

“….”

What is happening?

I pondered the absurdity and waited.

After a while.

Ding dong!

[The results of self-consultation for the five organs and six organs have been released.]

[Heart: …I was deceived. No heart abnormalities.]

[Lungs: Huh… Fuhuh… No abnormalities.]

[Captain: Mild constipation was found. No other abnormalities.]

[Soy Sauce: I found signs of hepatitis in this old man. Should I stop drinking?]

Hepatitis? alcohol?

Rachiel asked the warden.

‘Is your liver in very bad condition?’

The answer came right away.

[Sanjang: Ugh, Grandpa Gan was crying. I have been suffering from chronic fatigue for 50 years due to dealing with alcohol every day since I was 10 years old. If he stays like this for 5 more years, I’m sure he’s going to starve haha]

…I see.

‘Isn’t this really huge?’

Rakiel felt happy again. It is now possible to directly check the condition and history of the patient’s five organs and six organs, which has been awakened here. I had no idea that the pulse skill would have this kind of function.

‘I need to wake up the other five organs that are still sleeping.’

Of course I don’t know how.

If you work hard at treatment, won’t your five organs wake up every time an opportunity arises?

‘Then HP will also be able to receive more support. The range that the five organs and six departments can cover through consultation will also increase. ‘We will be able to make a more accurate pulse and diagnosis.’

Accurate pulse and diagnosis.

There is nothing more important than that.

The most fearful thing for medical professionals is misdiagnosis. By making an incorrect diagnosis and providing the wrong prescription and treatment, you are missing the time to treat the patient’s real illness.

“Well, anyway, old man. “Your liver is quite damaged.”

“yes?”

“That’s why you’re constantly tired and your face is yellow. Because my liver is tired. First, I will prescribe Soshiho-tang (小柴胡湯). Let’s try it like this for 10 days and see how it progresses and then add Gyejibokryeonghwan (桂枝茯苓丸). And-”

Rakiel’s eyes toward the grandfather patient became sharp.

“As of today, you must absolutely quit drinking alcohol.”

“Yes?”

“Because my liver is damaged. But if you keep drinking like that, you won’t live even five years.”

“But I…”

“You say you can’t eat without alcohol?”

Nod.

The grandfather patient’s head nodded furiously. But Rakiel spoke firmly.

“This is an order given not as a medical professional but as the crown prince. “If you break it, we’ll put you in jail.”

“….”

“You know, right?”

Nod!

Grandpa’s nods became more fierce than before. Rachiel, who had abused her power for a long time, smiled with satisfaction and accepted the next patient.

♣

Three days have passed.

In the meantime, Rakiel received numerous patients. Fortunately, no one has been in critical condition so far. Most of the patients came for neuralgia, joint pain, liver problems, colds, or body aches.

‘So that’s the problem.’

The evening after the third day of treatment.

Rachiel frowned as she looked back on the treatment so far. Because the critically ill patient who would give you a lot of bonus life never shows up? That wasn’t it.

‘Because you probably don’t have much trust in my medical skills yet. Nowadays, most patients come just thinking about what might happen. That’s a natural phenomenon. This will gradually be resolved as more rumors about my medical skills spread and cases of cured patients accumulate. By then, many patients in serious condition will come to visit us. The problem lies next.’

When a truly critical patient arrives.

When a lot of such patients come.

A system had to be established to provide stable care for them.

‘It’s difficult as it is now.’

After operating the Byeonggung Oriental Medicine Clinic for three days, I felt relief in my skin. The most urgent matters were dispensing decoctions and caring for patients.

‘I tried to entrust the maids to prepare the decoction, but… um…’

Everyone spoke awkwardly, perhaps because it was an unfamiliar field.

Also refining medicinal ingredients. Also, periodically check the condition of stored medicines. It is also important to determine the timing of boiling the decoction and adjusting the heat. A series of heating, cooling, and squeezing processes.

It was all something that required experience and sense.

‘But it’s not going well. They say it will gradually get better if you keep doing it, but… but it feels uneasy because it’s like they’re using the patients who are coming now as practice subjects.’

If the herbal medicine was incorrectly prepared, it may come out. Then, the damage will be borne entirely by the patient.

I didn’t like that.

‘Furthermore, if a large number of patients in need of nursing care are hospitalized in the ward… if things continue as they are now, that is also a problem.’

Now, I had left the chores of the Oriental medicine clinic to the servants and maids. But they are just servants who do the palace’s chores. It was difficult to say that they were professional nursing staff.

‘We must be able to care for patients 24 hours a day. For that, we need professional nursing staff to stay in the ward in shifts. Ah, it would have been perfect if Teacher Kim and Teacher Lee were here at a time like this.’

It reminded me of the people who worked at an oriental medicine clinic in Korea. But here, such manpower was just a luxury.

‘Because there is no concept of a nurse here.’

That’s what I found out during that time.

There was still no concept or profession called a nurse in this world. There are only professional doctors. There are only disciples and assistants that doctors take with them. There were no people who received education solely for nursing and nursing.

That was really disappointing.

‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to select and use talented people among the maids and servants.’

I had a sore appetite. I sat down at the table to have something to eat. But it was the moment when the first drink was about to be poured.

“majesty!”

Shake!

Suddenly the door flew open. Sir Gardin rushed in with an urgent expression. I shouted before even asking why.

“This is an emergency patient!”

There was no answer here either. Instead of answering, I put down my spoon and got up. I walked down the hallway as if I was running side by side with Lord Gardin.

“What about the patient?”

“I just laid him down in the doctor’s office. “She is a 58-year-old woman and has a very high fever.”

“High fever?”

“yes.”

“….”

What kind of disease is it? I couldn’t guess just by hearing the story. There were many different causes of high fever.

‘I hope it’s not a big deal.’

I hurried my steps, hoping in my heart. When I arrived at the treatment room, I saw a woman lying on the bed.

“I… see you… Your Highness…”

A woman who is almost 60 years old. Perhaps he comes from an aristocratic family? Her hair, which was normally neat, was completely disheveled with sweat.

“The eldest son of the Dean Lyer family meets you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please save my mother. “Please, please.”

A young man who identified himself as Dean Liar Yeongsik pleaded. Rachiel asked.

“Since when has it been like this?”

“It was from the afternoon. It was fine before, but he started getting chills around the time the sun went down, and now it’s like this…”

“Hmm.”

Just looking at it, it wasn’t in good condition. His breathing was shallow and rough, and he was almost on the verge of fainting in silence.

Rakiel first sensed Mrs. Deanryer’s pulse. I used the Jinmaek skill. Even the five-visceral counseling function was mobilized. All the while, I prayed sincerely. I hope it’s not a serious illness. I hope this is a disease you can treat.

And soon I realized. The fact that his prayers didn’t work this time.

“Rash… typhus.”

The name of my wife’s disease that was finally diagnosed. In front of him, Rakiel bit his lip.

Epidemic typhus.

A disease caused by infection with Rickettsia prowazekii bacteria. It was also a fatal acute febrile disease that destroyed Napoleon’s 400,000-strong army during his expedition to Russia.
