Episode 112: Dead [2]

stethoscope.

It is an object used by doctors to listen to the patient’s breathing or heart sounds.

To be honest… … .

I’m not very familiar with this item.

because?

No matter how carefully you listen to your breathing, it can’t be as accurate as a chest X-ray, but aren’t X-rays really expensive?

‘It’s the heart…’ … In the first place, auscultation is really difficult… … ?’

Moreover, with the development of ultrasound in the heart area, even cardiologists used an ultrasound if they felt suspicious, but never confirmed the diagnosis through auscultation alone.

In other words, in modern medicine, the diagnosis is no longer performed using a stethoscope.

So is that so?

I had no particular regrets or regrets about the stethoscope.

But… … .

“If you have a mouth, at least speak.”

“okay. “What wasn’t there in Joseon?”

“So that’s it.”

Look at the 19th century doctors in front of you.

Does it make sense for several doctors to gather together and discuss whether this patient is dead or alive?

If you take an electrocardiogram, it comes out… … .

We can’t do that?

In the midst of all this, what kind of change can the introduction of the stethoscope bring about?

When I thought about it carefully while pouring in criticism… … .

It wasn’t just meant to be used to determine death.

‘Pneumonia… … heart… … .’

In this day and age, diagnosing pneumonia… … .

I wonder if anything will change.

Still, I didn’t think it would be a bad thing to have it.

I am from the future, and I only have talent as a surgeon, but is it really possible that among the experimental doctors living in this era, there is not a single genius?

I could have accomplished anything.

“that… … “I think there is one way.”

“oh!”

“As expected, you have something special about you.”

Blundell was purely delighted, and Liston was smiling sinisterly.

This bastard… … .

I think I’m definitely having some doubts these days.

‘still… … ‘If you don’t point it out, it seems like you’re trying to overlook it, right?’

It would have been better if Liston had decided not to make an issue.

It means that if others make a fuss while you are still, you will immediately put up a shield.

However, I didn’t want to bring up the topic, so I slowly thought about it before opening my mouth.

Fortunately, there was already one pioneer in this era.

No, not in this era, but in ancient times as well.

“If you look at the Greek medical books… … There is a story that doctors of that era used hollow trees to better hear the sound of a person’s heart.”

“Oh, you know. But what is that… … “If it is effective, how long will it be?”

Cubs.

This is why we say that the 19th century was an age of barbarism.

Aren’t these truly insolent words and actions?

I looked at Blundell and shook my head.

‘what… … Since the steam engine came out, it is understandable that it came out like this.’

How pathetic the people of the past must have seemed.

You couldn’t even make something like this and just rowed around? While doing that.

It’s not that it’s not, but to give extreme examples, aren’t there the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, or the Cultural Revolution?

Of course, I know that the last one has a slightly different purpose… … .

In any case, there was a truly arrogant era in which people believed that anything old must be rejected at all costs, and that was the present.

but… … .

Among the legacies of the past, there was bound to be something that could be used.

In fact, there is no particular difference in human intelligence itself between ancient times and now.

“Take a good look.”

“Uh oh. Do something! “Why are you pulling people’s faces?”

“Listen carefully. “Wouldn’t you know it when you hear it?”

“Well, this is it.”

I grabbed Blundell’s head and pressed it to my chest.

It’s not that I’m lazy about exercising, but due to my body type and not eating enough, my body has become optimized for auscultation.

“Can you hear me?”

“I can hear you… … .”

“Can you hear my heart beating?”

“that… … “For some reason, the line feels a bit romantic. Am I mistaken?”

“When you say that, I feel that way too. “I’ll have to use it later.”

“ha.”

Blundell sighed.

Still, I was pricking my ears.

As a doctor, wouldn’t you be curious about other people’s heart sounds?

This was instinct.

“Let’s see.” Oh yeah.”

I left Blundell like that for a while, then removed his head and picked up the paper next to him.

Then, he rolled the paper into a ball and placed one end of it against my chest.

“Now put your ear to the end.”

“Oh, this isn’t difficult.”

“Can you hear me well, my heartbeat?”

“Oh, well, don’t say things like that… … huh?”

“It sounds loud, right? “You can hear the pounding more clearly than before, right?”

“quietly… … .”

“Ah yes.”

I was silent at Blundell’s words.

After a while, Blundell lifted his head with a slightly flushed face.

“hmm. surely… … “Can you hear me well?”

“Yes?”

“This method will be fine.”

“no. This isn’t enough. I am a healthy adult. So it has to be heard well. “In a dire situation, this won’t be of much use.”

I don’t know the exact proportions… … .

At best, there was bound to be a limit to just rolling up the paper.

Besides, I’m in the lab right now, so the surroundings are quiet, right?

They say there is less noise going behind the other side of the hole… … .

This was going to be a bigger disruption than I thought.

I’m a surgeon, so I don’t know much, but one of my close friends is an otolaryngologist.

He says that sound is a very sensitive thing.

“Think about it. “If this had been heard, would there have been people buried alive?”

“but. “That’s what I think, so it’s like that again.”

“Why are your ears so thin?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s right.”

Blundell and Liston nodded and looked at me again.

I still had expectations because of the rhythm I had played so far.

Okay, wouldn’t it be better if we stop here?

This is Kim Tae-pyeong, a famous person from Joseon.

In the 19th century, which is said to be the age of science, if you suggest a method of using rolled paper, how out of shape would it be?

“Let’s take a look at our ears.”

“Ears?”

“suddenly?”

There would be no one who would not know what the ears looked like.

But do many people know why it looks like this?

At least, I bet there won’t be a time like this.

“This ear flap. Did God put it like this for no reason?”

If you just talk about it… … .

These members may be fine, but isn’t this a world where you don’t know where and what kind of attack will come from?

A good thing to use in times like this was the God Shield.

Since Darwin had not yet gone into trouble, no one dared to refute creationism.

If you say something like that, even in the 19th century, it’s not like hanging, it’s like burning at the stake.

“Um… … .”

“You couldn’t have done something for nothing.”

“Yes. That’s right!”

I waved my arms from side to side as if I were a revivalist speaker.

To be honest, I was worried about sharing such advanced knowledge indiscriminately, but fortunately, I was only receiving positive responses from people who had no prior knowledge and were only interested in me.

“This will be a form of gathering sound.”

“Collect the sounds?”

“Isn’t sound just like air?”

Of course, this wasn’t easy either.

How on earth can we make people understand that sound is vibration?

Moreover, it was too difficult for them to understand that the vibrational energy was amplified in the auricle, the ear canal, the ossicles that extend from the concave eardrum, and finally changed into an electric signal in the cochlea.

It’s such advanced knowledge, but at the same time, it’s difficult.

To be honest, I’m not even sure if I understood it properly because I just picked it up.

I respect you, ENT teachers… … .

“Isn’t it coming with the wind? “Just think of collecting it.”

“Hmm.”

“Mmm.”

“Is this what it looks like for no reason?”

“Ah, yes.”

“Anyway, so?”

They say imitation is the mother of creation.

I didn’t realize it until just now, but when I thought about the shape of the ear, I realized that it was very similar to a stethoscope.

It is unlikely that the stethoscope was made first, so if you think about it, it can be assumed that it was copied from the ear.

“Wouldn’t you be able to hear sounds better if you spread your hands over your ears like this? “It brings together the sounds.”

“Aha, that’s right.”

“I never thought of that. But that’s right.”

Not only the two of them, but also the students who remained silent nodded.

I gathered the momentum and continued speaking.

“Now let’s continue following God’s design.”

I’ve said this many times, but it was safer to go with the revival meeting concept.

“This ear hole. “Why does this exist again?”

“Um… … .”

“I don’t think it’s for nothing, after all… … .”

“Have you ever been to a cave?”

“no.”

“When are we going to the cave?”

Ah, I made a mistake.

Isn’t this a common time for tourism?

Steam engines appeared, but travel still meant hardship in most cases.

Of course, nobles travel all over Europe or even go to Asia… … .

There is no one in our group who can do something like that.

Colin and Alfred aren’t that bad either.

“I meant the hallway over there, but I said it wrong.”

“corridor?”

“yes. that… … “It leads to the urinary stone surgery room.”

“Oh, that place looks like a cave.”

“Didn’t you hear a voice when you went there?”

“uh? uh uh uh… … ?”

A long area with one side blocked, that is, a maeng-gwan.

It was amplified by bumping around here and there.

Isn’t it surprising that the sound that is actually amplified in our ear canals is about three times greater?

Of course, I can’t discuss specific numbers here, so I had to just skip it.

“It’s the same with the ear holes. As the sound passes through this tube, the sound becomes louder. “This is precisely the principle that Professor Blundell experienced earlier.”

“How on earth do you know such things?”

“It is the grace of God.”

“No, so why is this favor only given to you?”

I do not know either.

Why did I come back to life?

Just me again… … .

No?

With such a long history, can I be the only one?

Looking at what you’re doing now, I don’t know how we got to this advanced age in the 21st century.

Isn’t history changing as people come one by one?

“Dawn prayer.”

“What… … .”

“Anyway, you would know this after dissecting the ear. “There is an eardrum at the end of the ear canal.”

“There is.”

drumhead… … .

Doesn’t that look concave too?

You could think of it as a miniature version of the ear.

“It also plays a role in gathering sound.”

“ah… … ? Now that you think about it?”

“Yes?”

“Yes.”

“Then wouldn’t it be okay if we make something that mimics the ear? You make a concave iron plate, insert a tube into the back, and listen with your ears. “I think it will sound really good, right?”

“her!”

“Huh!”
