Doctor Player - Chapter 100:

The soldier was stabbed in his upperright ribcage with a sword.

Even for wounds in the same area, the condition waries greatly depending on how deeply they penetrated the person.

In some cases, it penetrates the lungs and bronchial tubes, and the heart and large blood vessels are damaged in the center.

If that is the case then Raymond’s current skills will never be able to save him.

‘No, he wouldn’t have been alive until now. There is a high possibility that the blood vessels around the lungs are damaged.’

“Hanson, put in the chest extension tool.”

“Yes, sir!”

It is a surgical tool commissioned to the Dwarves. It widened the gap between the ribs to secure a surgical space.

The sight inside the chest was revealed, but there was only blood all over it.

“Hanson, disinfection cloth!”

“Yes, sir!”

Raymond clenched his teeth and wiped the blood away.

Fortunately, the blood was slow to fill up again, as if the large blood vessels were damaged.

Soon after, after wiping the blood inside to gain visibility, Raymond swallowed his saliva.

‘Hisupper lung has been stabbed, I need to cut off the damaged lung.’

It wasn’t enough to complete it with a simple suture.

‘Can I do it?’

The lungs were not organs that could be cut out with a scalpel.

All blood vessels that upply blood must be found, dissected, and the airways (bronchioles) be blocked. Additionally, after resection, the lung cross section must be tightly sutured to prevent air from leaking.

Each step of the process is not easy.

But it had to be done.

‘First, I have to tie the veins.’

Blood vessels that supply the lungs are hidden deep in the chest. He must find and tie up those blood vessels.

“Hanson, press down on the lungs with this long iron stick.”

“Yes, Master!”

The lungs were pushed back. As a result, he could see a blur of a space.

Hilum.

It was the center of the lungs.

He had to find and tie the blood vessels from deep inside to the upper lungs.

‘Which blood vessel is heading upward? If I tie other blood vessel, it will all be over.’

There was a large blood vessel in a narrow space with branches stretched out from the blood vessel to the area of each lung.

Once Raymond ties the wrong blood vessel incorrectly, it is the end.

‘I can’t see well because blood keeps flowing out.’

Raymond bit his lower lip.

Moreover, blood vessels do not stick out in sight.

It was wrapped in a lung membrane that surrounded the lungs, so the membrane had to be removed with an iron tool.

The problem is that branch blood vessels are very weak and can be torn if the membrane is peeled off incorrectly. Then the surgery becomes very difficult.

Te state of being in the middle of nowhere.

However, he could not approach this calmly and leisurely.

“Master, his blood pressure is dropping again!”

“Hang up Epinephrine!”

The patient’s condition is already at its limit.

He had to do it quickly and accurately.

Raymond’s heart thumped in difficult situations, and he suddenly felt dizzy as his hands trembled. He felt too anxious.

‘Oh, my God, damn it.’

Then, messages came up one after another as if stabilizing him.

[Heart of steel is emerging!]

[Heart of steel is emerging!]

A skill that always helped him in times of crisis.

A strong will and determination enveloped his heart.

Raymond sighed loudly.

‘You can do it. Trust yourself.’

Although he is only at the resident-level.

He had already worked hard to treat numerous patients.

There are many patients who could not be treated due to his lack of skill, but there are by no means few who recovered and returned to happiness under his hands.

‘It’s time to believe the hard work you’ve put in.’

Raymond moved the dwarven iron tool.

Snap, tap.

A fainst sound of soft tissue being torn was heard. The blood flowing out obscured his vision. However, he continued to move his hand, wiping it with a cloth.

Eventually, he had seen a branch vein.

“Tongs”

Click!

Steel tongs tightly bite the veins and cut off the blood flow.

The iron tongs clamped down on the vein, blocking blood flood flow.

‘Nest is the artery’s turn.’

After cutting off the vein with a scalpel, he found the artery.

The artery was behind the vein.

Take it. Take it.

It was time to tear off the membrane of the lungs surrounding the artery again.

‘I’m getting emotional.’

Blood is pouring out! The artery was torn by the iron tool!

“Oh my!”

The amount of blood loss was incomparable to before. He wiped it off with a cloth, but still could not see anything at all.

“Master, the blood pressure is dropping again! I’ll add more fluid!”

Raymond clenched his teeth.

“I have to stop the bleeding somehow.”

There was no way to do this.

‘I have no choice but to try to stop the bleeding in a space where I can’t see the blood.’

“Iron tongs.”

“Yes, Master!”

Raymond took a deep breath.

He the relied on the feeling of his fingertips. He pushed the iron tongs exactly into the area where the artery was earlier, and click! Ligation was performed.

“The bleeding has stopped, Master.” Hanson spoke in surprise, and Raymond swept away his chest.

‘Uh…… You’ve lived with it for me. After all this hard work, I will save you for sure!”

The next was the respiratory tact (bronchial) that supplies air to the lungs.

Fortunately, after tying up the veins and arteries, there was no major risk situation.

Crack!

The bronchus was tied and cut off along the gap between the lungs with a scalpel.

Like this.

The upper part of the torn lung was cut off by a scalpel.

‘It’s the last stage now. The section of the lung that was cut needs to be sutured so that no air leaks.’

Raymond picked up the surgical thread and began suturing.

It was not the outer skin, but the sponge-like lung section, so detailed hand movements were needed.

Just in time.

Raymond was done suturing the cross section.

“I’ll close it.”

The operation was successfully completed.

***

Fortunately, the patient recovered without any problems after the operation.

“Thank you.”

The conscious patient spoke with tears in his eyes.

“Thanks to the therapist, I was able to live. I was able to avoid breaking up with Mary, whom I had married not long ago.”

Raymond smiled.

It was always pleasant to hear the patient’s thanks.

‘Of course, in this case, there was more reason to be happy than just the reward.’

A penetrating chest wound was treated!

He has done enough to prove the greatness of medicine to the soldiers.

‘Hehe. Now is the start of accumulating merit.’

Of course, he hid all his snobbery and spoke graciously.

“I’m glad you got better.”

“How should I repay this favor?…”

The patient spoke with an apologetic face.

“What do you mean, favor? I’m a healer. I’ve only done what I’m supposed to do, so do not worry about it.”

“Ah……!”

The patient wept with emotion.

‘I can’t believe there’s such a person in the world.Are all the stories of my friends from the capital real?’

Raymond continued with an angelic face. “Don’t think about anything, just think about getting better. Because that’s the reward for me.”

“Wow. Thank you so much!!”

Of course, everything that snob Raymond said in this way was pretense.

‘This will make you more moved and spread the rumor.’

Raymond was going to pull out a stick because he had treated a patient who was in trouble.

He was planning to make a touching story and spread the word throughout the barracks!

Indeed, the intention was right.

“The patient who was stabbed in the chest was treated by Baron Penin.”

“Is it true?”

The soldiers asked in amazement.

Penetrating chest injury!

Isn’t this the injury that will inevitably lead to death?

“No, are you saying that medicine is at least as good as A-level heals? How can he treat a patient who had gotten stabbed in the chest with a sword?”

“I don’t know. I guess what my friends said in the capital city wasn’t a lie. They said medicine is better than heals. Do you know what’s more surprising?”

“What is it?”

“The healer took care of the soldier warmly.”

“……!”

The soldiers were all the more astonished.

The healer is caring?

“It’s true. I heard it directly from the person concerned. He said he would never forget the favor he received while shedding tears.”

“Huh, I can’t believe it.” The soldiers admired.

And Raymond didn’t miss this great opportunity.

‘We must take advantage of this time to completely put down roots.’

He visited the soldiers himself and completed the service to heal the soldiers!

“Baron Penin came and treated me in person.”

“Oh, I’m telling you. I hurt my leg with an arrow, and he came to me and treated me.”

“Me too, look at this arm, Baron Penin has cured me,” murmured the soldiers.

Moreover, Raymond was more than just giving treatment.

He showed warmth and kindness as possible.

‘If you are kind and warm, more patients will flock to me!’

That philistine reason was the first, and there were other reasons as well.

‘Because they are patients who were injured while fighting on the battlefield. How painful and sad it must be. As a healer, I should also comfort them,’ Raymond thought to himself.

On the battlefield, soldiers are just classified as numbers.

No one takes care of them individually.

Even if they are sick and hurt, they only suffer forlornly. No one is consoling the wounded soldiers.

‘Let’s do our best to cure them.’

Raymond did his best when he seeing patients with that mindset.

At the very least, he tried to avoid feeling sad about them being in hurt and in pain.

And his efforts caused a huge stir in the barracks.

“We misunderstood. I can’t believe such a person exists”

“He’s on a different level from theother healers.”

“Didn’t I tell you? The prince is great.”

“Prince? What?”

When the other soldiers looked puzzled, the soldiers from the capital spoke enthusiastically.

“Didn’t you know? That’s the shadow prince!”

“………!”

“He’s the one who dug up all the conspiracies of the Droughton Kingdom!” Another consternation spread among the soldiers. “Really? That’s him?”

Local soldiers were not exactly aware of Raymond because the rumors were slow.

There’s a brilliant prince who just stopped the Droughton guys’ plot!

They only knew this much, but that was Raymond!

“Then…… The one who saved the people of the capital’s slums?”

“That’s right. It’s all him! Is it just the slums? He had helped us ordinary people a lot too!” The sound of praise for Raymond erupted here and there, as if the water had burst from the bank.

“Ha, no wonder. He held my hand so warmly.”

A soldier spoke in a trembling voice.

“He told me. Be careful. Don’t get sick.”

The voice of the soldier, who was talking excitedly, filled with water in his eyes.

Those who listened also kept their mouths shut.

“This is the first time anyone has spoken to me so warmly since I came to the battlefield. Oh my, damn it. Why do I think of my family and cry when I hear about his warm story? Ha, indeed. Even now, I feel like crying again. It seems like i am a very picky person.”

A similar story spread throughout the barracks.

“I heard that from him too. He was worried about me so he said I have to get better soon. I ended up crying as Ii leave in a hurry”

“I’ve never seen such a person before. There will be no such healer anywhere in the world.”

All the talking soldiers wept.

No one knows how much terror, fear, and distress soldiers on the battlefield experience, except those involved.

Thus, the warmth Raymond showed comforted them.
