Episode 116 Confirmation of Death [1]

We live in an era where the police casually contact us saying that people are going to be killed.

That is the 19th century.

It was a bit uncomfortable, but… … .

what can i do

Tracheostomy may have been the only true airway technique, at least in this era.

‘Tracheal implantation… … That was a really difficult task… … .’

When I was at a university hospital, the thing I saw every day was tracheal implantation.

Why isn’t that something you see in dramas or movies?

Putting a plastic tube into the mouth during surgery or treating an unconscious patient.

The purpose is to maintain breathing, but sometimes it is put in to prevent blood flowing from above from clogging the airway.

what… … After talking about it, it’s ultimately a way to maintain breathing.

The reason why this is mainly used is simple.

It’s safer, and above all, you don’t have to use a knife.

‘however… … There are some prerequisites for that?’

However, when I came here, there were a few things I could learn.

To do that, you first need a plastic pipe… … I needed a tube that was soft and fluffy, but at the same time strong enough not to lose its shape when I inhaled.

I guess I can make rubber somehow… … .

It was a distant possibility right now.

‘Gas reflex… … It’s difficult to do this with laughing gas alone.’

Moreover, there was another difficulty: the gag reflex.

People who drink a lot may know this, but people tend to feel nauseous when the root of their tongue is stimulated.

And this tracheal implantation surgery was bound to cause a gag reflex due to its structure.

When you insert something into your airway through your mouth, how can you avoid touching the root of your tongue?

So, in the intensive care unit, tranquilizers, anesthetics, or very strong painkillers are used to put patients to sleep… … .

In the fucking 19th century, the only options were laughing gas or opium.

Such a powerful yet dangerous drug cannot be used to suppress the gag reflex at all.

‘so… … ‘Just a tracheotomy, that’s it for now.’

In comparison, what about tracheostomy?

Although it is a very invasive procedure, requiring a hole in the neck… … .

Since I wasn’t touching the root of my tongue, there was no gag reflex.

Of course, since you are putting something inside the prayer, it is not all that convenient… … .

Even in the 21st century, tracheostomy was performed on patients who required long-term breathing support, making it a more tolerable procedure than expected.

In addition, as long as you have anatomical knowledge and an appropriate amount of training, it is actually easier than tracheal implantation.

‘okay… … So, let’s brace ourselves.’

I could barely remember the justification for this.

Meanwhile, we proud people of the 19th century, without any sense of guilt, were sitting in a carriage and chatting.

“It looks like the police are having a hard time because they can’t hang him.”

“But it went well. “They all deserve to die.”

Blundell and Liston were talking about someone’s death.

I don’t think it’s a conversation doctors should have, but… … .

Since the police officer I was riding with was also contradicting me, it would have been right to assume that my thoughts were wrong.

“you’re right. They all deserve to die. “If I can help them even after I die, wouldn’t it be a good thing for them?”

no… … .

I don’t think so.

Did you get consent?

It seemed like that couldn’t be possible.

“The problem is that they use poison… … That’s great. There are times when this poison is a bit weak… … “What if I don’t die and come to the hospital?”

“I’m a death row inmate anyway, so what can I do there?”

“that… … professor. That’s a bit… … For someone other than the executioner to kill another prisoner… … .”

“I’m sorry. Our Professor Liston… … .”

“If you don’t let anyone know… … .”

“Didn’t I hear it just now? “If that happens, we have no choice but to prosecute, Professor.”

The conversation… … .

The longer it continued, the more it could be said to be a gradual process.

Crazy guy… … .

uh?

Are you going to wipe it out there?

I think it would be extremely inappropriate to say it as a joke, but to say something like that in front of the police… … .

Maybe it’s because I have a limited network… … .

There were only these guys around, and I was confused as to whether the entire 19th century was like this or just these guys.

“Ultimately, we better go and make sure.”

“Mmm.”

“What’s with your dissatisfied face…?” … “It’s only natural for a doctor to check!”

“Because that’s not natural. “Isn’t it difficult?”

“It’s difficult… … .”

“Hmm.”

The two stopped talking and looked at me.

To be precise, they were looking at each other in turn, including the stethoscope I was holding.

These bastards seem to think I’m some kind of Doraemon… … .

‘That’s almost right, right?’

From their perspective, it was true and there was not much to say.

what can i do

It’s really like that.

“I will try to do something.”

“okay. Please.”

So I nodded, and Blundell spoke again with expectant eyes.

“Just in case, we’ll bring the police to the scene.”

“ha.”

On the other hand, Liston said something unpleasant, and the police sighed when they realized the hidden meaning behind those words was to kill him if he was still alive.

The carriage somehow reached its destination despite hearing the conversation going to chaos.

“Kill!”

“Death to the wicked!”

Plaza.

It was a square.

From my perspective, it seems that at least the British during this period should not curse the Romans.

What’s the difference between this and the Colosseum?

‘but… … ‘Did you say that over 30,000 people gathered to execute William Hare?’

Was that last year?

Even though they were robbing bodies, they ended up producing corpses… … .

So, since they were the ones who committed serial murders and sold the bodies to Dr. Knox, there must have been more crowds, but anyway, this is that kind of country.

So today’s mess was not something to be considered strange.

“Kill!”

“Where is the gallows!”

“Hang it!”

Yes, but… … .

Even so, I wondered if it was worth shouting so angrily to hang on.

Coming from the 21st century, that is, from a fairly civilized world, this seemed a bit like it to me.

The chief was shaking as well, so I thought he was just like me, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

“Today’s execution will be carried out with poison.”

“Ooh ooh!”

“Put it away!”

“How much did you get?”

When the police chief announced that he would be killed by poison rather than hanging in front of people who were full of expectations of seeing him die, boos suddenly started pouring in.

It looks like he was scared of this and trembled… … .

I thought it was something like hanging or poisoning, but I didn’t understand why they did it.

So I looked to the side and saw Blundell shrugging his shoulders and opening his mouth.

“I guess… … Isn’t poison inaccurate? There are quite a few people who survive just fine. so… … “It is no coincidence that people ask how much they received.”

“ah… … .”

“Actually, there are quite a few cases like that. Among the wealthy, there must be quite a few who ran away to Asian colonies and changed their status. “I also received a request like that.”

“request… … ?”

“Originally, in cases of execution by poison, the rule is that a doctor conducts an autopsy. It’s about determining whether you’re dead or alive… … .”

“Ah, you are judging a living person as dead.”

“yes. Of course, this Blundell is a man who does nothing to offend his conscience, so he has never done anything like that.”

“yes yes.”

Since he said it so much, I thought he may have done it at least once, but I decided to trust him for now.

Besides, what was important right now wasn’t over there.

no… … .

It really looked like there was going to be a riot.

“Now, calm down! It is true that these people’s crimes are so heinous that they deserve to be hanged. but! Now, Dr. Liston, Dr. Pigeon! “Please come forward.”

I think the chief needs to keep his mouth clear of something here… … As I was thinking about this, that crazy guy suddenly turned his arrow at me.

Liston, the person who was supposed to deflect the arrow, instead stepped forward, chuckling as if he was getting sick of attention.

“It is. “What can I do, Pyeong?”

“no… … This went on like this… … .”

“ha ha ha! The police are watching and something is happening. Besides, aren’t we the reason they changed their method of execution?”

“No, don’t say that out loud… … .”

Then he stepped forward, pointing at me.

We said loudly that we were responsible, so the eyes of those around us turned to us.

Starting with that, other people’s eyes turned to us as if we were playing dominoes.

I thought it was fortunate that I was short.

If only I were taller… … .

Not only do you have to receive all those gazes, but you also have to face each other, right?

“Isn’t that an honorable reason? “It’s to save people.”

“yes yes. That’s right. “It’s so scary.”

“It’s scary. “It’s like a flock of sheep.”

“that… … .”

I’m weaker than that sheep, Professor.

I don’t know if our physiques are similar, but… … .

Those people are so ferocious that if they mess up, they could make a person or two suffer.

“Sleep, welcome.”

Trembling, I was led by Dr. Liston’s hand as I walked, and before I knew it, I was in front of the chief.

Then I realized.

and… … .

Who threw the tomato?

Maybe you were so nervous that you didn’t even know you were getting hit?

“Hehe.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Liston must have blocked it with his hand, so the tomato was only on his hand.

The chief gave them a mean smile and handed over the floor.

“Don’t you two have a good reason? Considering the crimes these guys committed, it actually seems like a good reason… … “Please tell me directly.”

“Gladly.”

So the two of us stood in front of the crowd.

I didn’t realize it when I was standing in the back, but when I got up on the podium, it seemed like there were almost 10,000 people gathered there.

And all of those 10,000 people were looking at us with angry eyes.

This was because he chose poison instead of hanging to kill people.

Of course I felt unfair and angry, but the only emotion I could express was fear.

“What is that yellow guy!”

“And again… … “I’m going to take the money, eat it, and then take it to Asia!”

“An obvious move… … .”

It’s just scary to look at, huh?

That’s what you hear.

At this point, even Liston in the world… … .

“haha.”

Smile?

Have you lost your mind?

I wanted to, but he started to open his mouth with a confident face.

“If you know, you will know. This is Dr. Liston. I think there are one or two people here whose lives were saved thanks to me… … .”

It was clear water.

He seemed a bit like a drug dealer, but everyone was listening carefully anyway.

“Dr. Pyeong here is the person who developed the anesthetic. “I think there are many more people to thank.”

They didn’t forget to talk about me, so the murmur was quieting down a bit.

Of course, there were some who grumbled and wondered what to do.

It was then.

Liston grabbed the head of a death row inmate, i.e. the leader of a gang.

“It is true that in order to save a person like that, you need knowledge of anatomy. That doesn’t mean we have to buy stolen bodies, but these guys took advantage of our noble needs. so! We’re going to use their bodies to dissect them! “The reason you can’t hang someone is because you have to look closely at the neck anatomy!”

I was so scared.

So much so that even the gang leader, who was already scheduled to die, was pissed.
