The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 161

Episode 161 Paralysis of unknown cause (2)

“The cause of the patient’s lower extremity paralysis is…”

Gulp.

Kelod swallowed dryly without even realizing it. The other prospective doctors nearby were the same. Everyone’s eyes focused on Rachiel’s mouth. At that moment, a meaningful smile appeared faintly at the corner of Rachiel’s mouth.

“I won’t tell you for free.”

“…yes?”

“Didn’t you hear? “I just don’t want to tell you.”

“….”

Kelod’s expression hardened.

“Your Majesty, you can’t just tell us. Are you really trying to harass us?”

“dalliance?”

“yes.”

Kelod gave me a stern look.

“Your Highness said you know the cause. He said he had an idea where the paralysis that patient was experiencing came from. But now that the moment has come to reveal it, are you trying to backtrack by saying something else?”

“Hmm, get out of the way.”

Rachiel asked back with a sneer.

“Why should I give you the answer for nothing?”

“But Your Highness.”

“The patient’s future is at stake?”

“yes.”

“I won’t tell you, but I will take care of the treatment, right?”

“But…”

“Oh, because it’s a group project? Are you really trying to argue that we should all share responsibility and results?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Kelod nodded. A sneer appeared on Rachiel’s lips.

“Then what’s weirder? “Isn’t that too selfish?”

“…yes?”

“That’s right. lets think. “It’s a group project where we all take responsibility and share the results, so why do I have to unilaterally give you the right answer without compensation?”

“….”

“Tell me honestly. You haven’t done group assignments, have you? Isn’t this unfair? “How is this different from just me preparing the materials, organizing them, and even giving the presentation?”

“….”

Kelod was at a loss for words. As I listened, I wondered if there were people like this. If the other person had not been the crown prince, they might have confronted him sooner.

But he endured it with all his might.

Because our status is different.

Because the opponent is a powerful person.

I made a desperate effort to show minimal courtesy.

“So, are you saying that Your Highness will conduct the graduation exam independently from us?”

“for now? “Let’s see what level you have.”

“…All right.”

Kelod gritted his teeth inwardly. On the other hand, I thought it turned out better. After all, we too had doubts about the other person’s skills.

‘On the subject that came between us, abusing power and position.’

In fact, he hated the crown prince. It was like this even before they used expedient means and came between them. This was due to rumors about the oriental medicine clinic at the crown prince’s villa that spread throughout the imperial capital.

‘Villa Palace Oriental Medical Clinic? Pricking a person’s body with a thorn to heal a painful area? Plus what? Put a bunch of dried grass on your skin and burn it? Does that make the disease go away? ‘That’s nonsense.’

That’s a lie. This is a treatment that only quacks would use. It can never be called proper medical practice. However, the reason patients gather is simply because the Byeonggung Oriental Medical Clinic is free. This may be the result of patients with nowhere to go succumbing to the temptation of the crown prince’s authority and freebies.

‘Besides, among the news circulating through rumor, there was something even more absurd…’

Kelod traced his memory.

It was said that the crown prince was hit by the court wizard’s lightning magic. It was said that the lightning magic was injected through a thorn inserted into the child’s neck. They also said that the child’s seizures stopped.

‘lie.’

Perhaps the crown prince spread an exaggerated rumor. For someone with that level of power and status, it wouldn’t have been particularly difficult.

‘So your reputation is nothing more than a castle on sand, all distorted. Of course, that was fine. Because I was able to understand it as a slightly odd and unusual hobby of the royal family. But… that doesn’t mean you come all the way here, take the exam alongside us, and obtain graduation qualifications and a doctor’s license. ‘Isn’t that crossing the line?’

Of course, with pseudo-medicine or the skills of the prince who uses it, even if he dies and wakes up, he will not be able to obtain an official license. But I didn’t understand the idea of attempting such a thing. There was no forgiveness.

“….”

Grumble.

Kelod gritted his teeth in secret. Looking at him, Rachiel smiled inwardly.

‘Hey. ‘Look at this guy.’

He was purely amazed.

Kelod shows antipathy to the extent that it is okay to secretly or openly say it in front of him. The more I looked at it, the more amazing it was. I was even more excited because I could guess the reason for Kelod’s antipathy.

‘The more I see of this guy, the more I like him.’

I felt proud of the medical skills I had learned. I also felt pure anger toward those who would infringe on and pollute the medical practice. Of course, it’s a bit embarrassing now that this is the target of that anger.

‘Still, it would be a good opportunity to evaluate this friend.’

He looked at Kelod and other team members with interest. They were returning to the hospital room. It seemed like they were planning on diagnosing and treating patients on their own.

‘Then let’s take a look at your skills first.’

First of all, the attitude score is very acceptable.

Next, it’s time to evaluate your skills.

Rachiel sat on a chair on one side of the treatment room. With my legs crossed leisurely, I assumed the position of an exam proctor and watched the team members giving treatment, with the intention of looking for talent to recruit(?) to the annex oriental medicine clinic in the future.

‘Hmm.’

Kelod and his team questioned the patient about his previous medical history. Do you have any chronic illness, have you recently been shocked, fell badly, or suffered a head injury? But the patient’s answer was no.

Next, the team members examined the patient with a homemade stethoscope and measured his temperature.

‘Nothing will come out of that.’

Rachiel knew the cause of the patient’s paralysis. Therefore, I knew very well that they would not be able to diagnose the cause using their methods. Therefore, what we need to see now is the attitude of the team members.

‘…Hoo.’

Rakiel, who was observing the team members with narrowed eyes, was secretly impressed.

‘And yet you keep your poker face? ‘It’s better than I thought?’

It’s probably going to be overwhelming. It would also be hopeless. It must be really frustrating because you can’t find anything even after questioning or examining the patient. Moreover, the situation was not helping them either.

‘This is not just treating patients, it’s a graduation exam.’

It was the most important test to evaluate what I had learned while rolling here for several years. But what would happen to a person’s mentality if they felt like they couldn’t write a single word on the answer sheet in a test like this?

‘It must be embarrassing. It will shake.’

I’m sure they will too.

But surprisingly, none of Kelod and his team members showed such signs. At least that was the case on the outside. His expression, eyes, and voice were always calm.

Rachiel seemed to know the secret to their ability to do that.

‘It’s probably because of the patient.’

Medical professionals should be like that.

This is true no matter how many times you encounter a patient with an incurable disease. This is true even when faced with a hopeless and hopeless situation.

At the very least, medical professionals should never appear mentally unstable in front of patients. You should not appear anxious or uncertain. No matter how much you rush, you must remain calm and composed in front of the patient until the end. Even if hell is unfolding in your mind. That is the fate of medical professionals.

‘The anxious appearance of the medical staff… is passed on to the patient.’

It’s not just about moving. It is amplified and spread at least dozens of times.

Then the patient collapses. The moment the patient senses that even the medical staff caring for them is shaking, they no longer have anything to trust and rely on, and they collapse to the point where they can never stand up again.

Therefore, medical professionals must never waver in front of patients. It was a very simple rule, but difficult to follow.

But what about Kelod and his crew now?

He was doing it!

‘I keep coveting this?’

Rachiel nodded inwardly. At this level, I pass mentally. What are your skills? Anyway, the dean is a paralyzed patient whose cause has not been discovered, so what more can one expect from the current situation?

‘I’ve seen everything there is to see.’

Rakiel quickly got up from his seat. Now is the time to step forward. First, check the cause of the patient’s paralysis that you guessed. He quietly pushed his way through the group and approached the patient.

“Let me take a look for a moment.”

“…Ah yes, Your Highness.”

Kelod and his team took a step back with shocked faces. Rakiel sat down next to the patient’s bed. He smiled brightly at the patient.

“Nice to meet you, Miguel.”

“I see you, His Highness.”

The patient appeared nervous and tried to raise his upper body. Rachiel stopped him.

“Just lie down. And now I am here, not as a crown prince, but as a medical professional to diagnose and treat you.”

“….”

“Well, even if I ask you not to feel pressured, it won’t be easy. So, let’s first listen to the story. “You said you suffered from enteritis for a while before the paralysis occurred?”

“Yes… Yes, Your Highness.”

“After that, I started to experience tingling and numbness in my toes, and then numbness gradually spread from my toes.”

“Yes, that’s right, Your Highness.”

“You said you never suffered any serious impact to your head, neck, or back, right?”

“Of course, Your Highness. I never fell or got hurt. But why suddenly…”

Patient Miguel trailed off and looked at his feet. One day, my legs suddenly stopped moving. At first, I thought it was just because I was tired. I thought it was true until I couldn’t move my toes very well.

But it wasn’t.

The paralysis became increasingly severe.

At first, my toes became numb and I felt like bugs were crawling under my skin, but then the symptoms spread to my entire feet, ankles, and calves. In the end, I was no longer able to move my entire legs and even my pelvis.

I was scared. I was even more scared because even the doctors here couldn’t figure out the cause. If I continue like this, I wonder if I will have to live as a cripple for the rest of my life. These days, even while I sleep, I wake up several times suffering from nightmares.

“Exactly how long ago was it when the paralysis started?”

“It’s been… about six days, Your Highness.”

“Hmm. All right. Now, let’s take a pulse. “Watch your wrist for a moment.”

Rakiel lightly squeezed the wrist that the patient held out hesitantly. The patient flinched. He returned a faint smile. And then I activated the Jinmaek skill.

‘Jinmaek.’

Ding dong!

[Begin taking the pulse.]

[Scanning.]

[3… 2… 1…]

[The results of the pulse are out.]

[Please check the

below.]

The results are finally out.

Rachiel’s gaze moved downward. There was a ‘comprehensive findings’ item that could be called the alpha and omega of the examination sheet.

[Comprehensive opinion: Basically, the body is generally healthy. However, ‘Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy AIDP’, a condition in which the myelin of some motor neurons is stripped due to inflammation, has been detected.]

…As expected.

‘bingo.’

The prediction was correct. Rachiel suppressed a smile and looked back at Kelod and his team members.

“Should we talk outside for a moment?”

Everyone was called into the hallway.

Kelod asked with a stern expression.

“Has Your Highness diagnosed anything?”

“why? curious?”

“….”

“Of course you’re curious. But why am I curious?”

“Isn’t it natural to be curious? “The patient’s recovery is at stake.”

“okay?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Then let me ask you something. “If I find out exactly the cause of this patient’s paralysis, will I be able to take all the credit when the treatment is completed?”

“…What do you mean by that?”

Kelod frowned slightly.

Rakiel’s smile became meaningful.

“Because you all failed the diagnosis. So, if I find out the cause and complete the treatment, will you give me all the credit and admit to failing the graduation exam?”

“Then, I guess only Your Highness will pass the test and we…”

“Uh. Everyone is eliminated. “Failed to graduate.”

“….”

“Is that okay?”

“….”

No one was quick to answer. Kelod and his crew hesitated. They looked at each other and shared a glance for a moment. Soon everyone nodded faintly.

“…I accept it, Your Highness.”

Kelod spoke on behalf of everyone, closing his eyes tightly.

“I will do as you suggest.”

“okay? really?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Then, regardless of whether this patient recovers, we will have to wait another year to graduate. Is that okay?”

“…of course.”

“why?”

“Because that’s what we all learned here.”

Kelod’s voice was trembling slightly. But in the end, he did not withdraw his choice. The answer was that the patient’s recovery was more important than whether or not they would graduate.

Thanks to this, Rachiel internally cheered.

‘…This is it.’

He wanted exactly these guys. So I deliberately conducted a harsh test. I never thought the whole group would come up with an answer they liked so much.

“good. “All of the villas’ oriental medicine clinics were confirmed.”

“yes?”

“Anyway. “If I could tell you the cause of the patient’s paralysis for future treatment-”

Rachiel took a breath. Kelod and his teammates listened intently. Seeing that, Rachiel opened the drawer of knowledge in her memory. As a result of the pulse, the cause of the paralysis the patient is currently suffering from is clear.

The International Classification of Diseases symbol is G61.0.

Korea’s special calculation code is V126.

The official name is…

“Guillain-Barre syndrome. And I have a way to fix it.”

A confident smile appeared on his lips.
