Doctor Player - Chapter 87:
Chapter 87
‘In this situation, an electrocardiogram is an essential test.’
There was a reason why Raymond paid a huge amount of money to implement the electrocardiogram.
The heart moves by electrical signals.
Numerous causes can be guessed just by measuring the pattern.
‘High T-wave!’
The height of the T wave was too high.
Raymond bit his lips tightly.
The T wave rises high for all sorts of reasons.
‘I had to find the exact name of the diagnosis.’
‘……I’m not sure about this electrocardiogram alone. What do we do? We need more clues.’
If his electrocardiogram knowledge had been a little deeper, he could have guessed the cause just now.
It was an electrocardiogram that showed as much as he knew.
However, electrocardiogram interpretation is also a fairly high-level area in medicine.
Doctors on modern Earth were often illiterate, unless they were ‘internists’.
Unfortunately, Raymond’s internal medicine is a ‘C-(minus) grade’.
There was a lack of depth.
“Oh, my.”
Clapping, clapping.
Time passed nervously.
Everyone stopped looking.
Raymond clenched his fist.
Then, the electrocardiogram made a difference once again!
“The P wave is gone!”
P wave.
It is a sign of the beginning of the heart contraction rhythm.
The pulse of the heart has slowed down! What does this mean? Why does P wave disappear?
‘Come up with it!’
There was one thing for sure.
The Marquis of Langham is getting worse every second.
His complexion is turning into corpse-like.
“His blood pressure is 40/20, Master!”
Raymond bit his lips at Hanson’s cry.
He is definitely a patient who can be saved.
If he were a little more capable!
‘Oh my God!’
It was then.
For a moment, a vaguely bizarre waveform passed by.
S-shaped, whip-like waveforms.
Although it only passed by once, Raymond did not miss the waveform.
‘It is a sine wave.’
The sine wave!
The heart’s electrical signals lose their established pattern and appeared in an S-shape.
Raymond knew this pattern well because it was such a characteristic pattern.
‘There is only one disease in which sine waves appear.
‘Hyperkalemia!’
Hyperkalemia!
It was an emergency condition that caused a heart attack due to excessive accumulation of potassium in the body, causing problems in the heart’s electrical transmission system.
It was a complication mainly in people with kidney disease.
“Hanson, Lindon. I need calcium extract from the E-Cart!”
“Yes, Master!”
‘Now that I know why, I have to correct the cause.’
‘The cure for hyperkalemia is calcium!’
Calcium stabilizes the heart’s electrical signaling system, which is plagued by potassium.
It is also used as a key treatment in modern Earth.
When Lindon injected calcium, the ECG waveform changed.
The abnormal pattern disappeared and returned to the normal waveform!
‘It’s not over yet.’
Calcium administration is only a first aid, not a root cause solution.
He should lower the body potassium concentration.
“Mix a high concentration of glucose and insulin!”
“Yes, Master!”
Calcium administration followed by glucose insulin administration.
It was a standard treatment based on ’emergency medicine’.
After administering the glucose insuline mixture like that.
The Marquis let out a long sigh.
We’re out of the woods!
“It’s done!”
His consciousness has not yet returned, but it will gradually recover.
At that time, Chancellor Galman, who was nervously watching Raymond’s treatment, asked urgently.
“How is he? Is he okay now?”
“Yes, fortunately, I think he is over the hump. If he rests well, I think he will recover without any major problems.”
“Ha. Thank you. Thank you very much!” Galman forgot his identity as a minister and grabbed Raymond’s hand.
That’s how much he was relieved.
‘To wish the emissary of the Kingdom of Peninsula had died during the banquet.’ It was dizzying to imagine.
The agreement would of course have collapsed, and relations with the Kingdom of Peninsula would have been strained.
Thanks to Raymond, they avoided a big sadal.
“Thank you very much.”
“No, sir. That’s-”
Raymond, who was about to shake his head, suddenly came to his senses.
After overcoming the urgent situation, his nature crawled out and he thought of the congolese water.
‘Wait. Did I just hit the jackpot?’
His mouth watered.
Purple.
Those astonished and awe-inspiring eyes.
The whole banquet hall was looking at him with round eyes.
In other words, he has promoted medicine more clearly than a hundred words.
Also, the patient’s status was amazing.
‘The Marquis is a great noble of the Peninsula Kingdom!’
The Kingdom of Peninsula was no match for the Kingdom of Houston.
He has cured the great spirits of such a place and will receive a great reward.
The mere thought of it made his mouth water.
‘I have to do well now to maximize the promotional effect!’
Raymond came to his senses and straightened his face.
It was important from now on.
“No, sir. I was just sticking to the basics.”
“Basic?”
“Yes, I only approached it according to ancient teachings. Medicine has guidelines for patients with acute falls. I only treated it according to the guidelines.”
Humility was not a virtue in this situation.
Rather, he had to show off to imprint the greatness of medicine.
“Medicine has a way to treat any kind of patient.”
He could hear people buzzing.
“I can’t believe you’re treating an acute collapse patient like that.”
“Come to think of it, he treated Princess Sophia last time, too.”
“Isn’t his medical skills better than heals?”
Raymond managed to hold back his jaw-dropping climb.
‘I heard a sudden drop of money. It was so nice.’
Then, suddenly, the entrance to the banquet hall became noisy.
“Count Helien!”
The Count Helien arrived late!
‘The one who came is Count Helien.’
Raymond’s heart leaped for a moment.
It was the first time he met the living legend of the Houston Kingdom treatment world.
His face was somewhat flushed, as if he had rushed in, and he bowed to Oden.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Your Highness. I will be in charge of the treatment from now on.”
Later, Count Helien glanced at Raymond and disappeared with the Marquis of Langham.
“What is this?”
Raymond frowned as he remembered the last look sent by Count Helien.
Disdain?
No, it wasn’t like that.
Count Helien’s gaze at Raymond was just indifference.
It’s as if he is not worth dealing with.
It was a look of perfect disregard.
Thus, the first meeting with Count Helien, the kingdom’s best healer, passed by.
***
Raymond made a great contribution, whether Count Helien acknowledged it or not.
[Quest accomplished!]
[Bonus level up!]
[Bonus level up!]
[You accumulated additional 40 skill points!]
Once he received the quest reward, the most important thing is up next…
[Achievement: ‘Treat the Tycoon’ has been achieved!]
[You received additional 20 skill points]
[Privilege: An important figure owes you a fover!]
He cured a great nobleman from th ePeninsula Kingdom!
It was of tremendous significance.
As Raymond can see from the perks, it’s like a “grace.”
And aristocrats don’t just pass on grace, even for their own honor.
Compensation time has arrived.
“I am here to meet the Marquis of Langham. I am Baron Penin from the Kingdo of Houston.”
“That’s fine. I’ll be meeting with the savior of my life. Thank you so much.”
The Marquis, lying in bed, thanked Raymond.
“If it weren’t for you, I would have lost my life without moving. Thank you very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” continued the Marquis.
“As a representative of the delegation of the Kingdom of Peninsula, and as a lord after the great Langham, I will thank you for this incident. Is there anything you want?”
Thud! Thud!
Raymond’s heart beat with anticipation.
‘What reward should I get?’
‘Of course it’s money!’
There was nothing to say.
What’s the kingdom of Peninsula abundant of?
It’s money!
‘How much should I expect? I should get at least three thousand pennas.’
Three thousand pence!
It was the cost of living for three years for the common people.
It could be said to be very expensive for a single treatment, but Raymond was going to rip off his mouth.
“Just say anything.”
‘Money…….’
Give me the money!
It was the moment when he was going to shout.
Raymond paused at an idea that came to his mind.
‘Wait. i can make a lot of money in the future anyway.’
It wasn’t a delusion.
With this successful promotion, he succeeded in attracting the aristocrats, so all he have left is to sit on the money cushion.
So, it was wise to receive other rewards than simple medical expenses.
‘The other party is a great noble of the Kingdom of Peninsula. What should I rip off?’
Something special that can only be ripped off from other countries’ great nobleman.
While Raymond was thinking about what to aask, he suddenly remembered one thing he needed.
‘Will it work?’
Raymond agonized. The Kingdom of Peninsula was such a strong merchant that he was not sure if he could get what he wanted.
‘But let’s shout it out! It’s an opportunity that might not come again.’
Raymond’s eyes glistened with black lead.
However, he hid it outwardly and shook his head pretending to be a simple and honest man.
“I do not need a compensation for the treatment. You don’t have to bother.”
“Don’t do that and tell me.”
“I mean it. I just did the obvious, so you don’t have to worry about compensation.”
Of course it’s a lie.
‘I’m doing this because I need to take time because I’m trying to rip off such a big reward.’
‘Should I say that it’s a step back for the so-called two steps forward?’
Raymond took the last breath with a throbbing heart.
“I’m only working for my patient’s sake. I am not interested in any other reward.”
Upon saying that, the Marquis of Langham, greatly admired Raymond’s words.
‘That’s amazing. What a humility. The healers of our kingdom should also emulate that.’
There is a saying on the continent: The most vicious of merchants is the merchant of the Kingdom of Peninsula.
The same goes for a healer.
Perhaps because it was such a rich country, it was not usual for a friendship to rise.
He couldn’t help but be amazed to meet such a healer since healers are always there to make tons of money.
‘I can’t help but want to repay him even more. I need to show him the depth and power of our Peninsula Kingdom.’
It was a matter of pride.
“Don’t do that and say anything. I will do my best to listen to it in the name of Langham.”
“Well.”
“I know you’re a great man with no greed, but sometimes you need to take care of yourself for the sake of your patients.”
Raymond, who heard that, was decided that he had persuaded him enough.
It was the time to let out the big guns.
“Then…… Can I ask you one favor?”
“Speak.”
