The Treatment Is So Good That the Patients Become Obsessed

14 – Deal with a Huge Number of Patients!

Fortunately or unfortunately.

The patients that the attendants investigated were mostly people who came saying, “Should I try getting treated once I’ve heard the rumor?”

Do I feel okay? Do I have an unknown illness? Everyone has a desire to get a health check-up.

“Mmm… I’ll go out.”

I reluctantly got up from the bed.

Although I complained, I was the one who wanted to go out anyway.

The attendants are not doctors, so they don’t know the exact condition of the patients.

I felt relieved by the fact that I could at least take a quick look with my own eyes.

Let’s create a patient treatment system now!

I strongly felt the necessity of a treatment system.

To manage patients more efficiently!

Working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during fixed working hours.

Except for emergency patients.

After setting the rules.

I will explain the rules to the patients gathered here at Roland Viscount’s.

“Kim Chul-soo, I’ll help too! It was me who gave Kim Chul-soo the wrong information.”

“Oh, no. Miss. It was just a mistake!”

I was momentarily shaken by an unexpected patient, but Catherine has always been there for me!

When Mr. James doubted me, Catherine covered for me.

During therapist dinners, Catherine always led me well.

I thought I owed a lot to Catherine.

But Catherine’s frequent persuasions made me feel comfortable.

“No, treating patients is an honorable task as a follower of Urkyo. I want to help too.”

“Oh, it’s really okay…”

“Isn’t it hard for Kim Chul-soo to do it alone?”

“Well, I guess there’s no choice.”

The manners of a Korean, rejecting twice!

I nodded humbly, satisfied.

It’s chaotic outside, but with Catherine’s help, everything will be fine!

I need an extra hand right now.

Outside the castle, there was a bustling crowd.

Kim Chul-soo, the chief therapist of Roland Viscount, living in the castle, attracted the attention of the nobles in the capital, causing a crowd to flock to the castle.

Commander Revi, working hard to control the crowd, found it impossible to control hundreds of people with just 11 knights!

The Viscount of Roland, a rural noble, sweated profusely at the sight of the unfamiliar external crowd.

“Haha… As the red attire of the Lord of Ur, it must be a blessing that so many people are gathered. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Viscount Roland. I am Viscount Jakar from the capital. I heard that the brilliant young therapist, Kim Charles, is here. Can I see him?”

“Haha. Viscount Jakar, are you in such a hurry? There’s a certain order even in urgency.”

“Well… I came here just for the day, so I have to return today…”

“Viscount Roland! I, Viscount Haksen, must meet Kim Charles in the first place!”

“Oh my…”

This is a complete mess!

Viscount Roland felt dizzy and broke out in a cold sweat.

Roland Viscount, located in the rural outskirts, had never experienced such external greetings!

What a disaster in this place, known for its tranquility.

At that moment, like a savior, Kim Chul-soo appeared.

“Just a moment!”

“Kim Chul-soo!?”

“Sir, please leave it to me now.”

Kim Chul-soo, who brought a large desk and chair with Emma, bowed his head to the sir.

“Haha, sure!”

Viscount Roland felt like he had seen his savior.

With reliable Kim Chul-soo here, the problem will be solved!

Kim Chul-soo soon placed the desk in a suitable position with a thud and sat down.

“Nice to meet you, I am Kim Charles.”

“A person of color…?”

“That person is Kim Charles?”

Question marks loomed in the minds of the gathered patients.

There is very little information about Kim Charles.

Apart from rumors about dangerous cosmetics and spreading baths, nothing was known about his appearance.

As a result, some nobles looked skeptical and returned in carriages, their faces full of distrust.

Because of prejudice against people of color.

‘Rather, it’s better.’

Kim Chul-soo smirked.

It means he got rid of the uncooperative patients.

“Please line up in front of me! I will begin the treatment now.”

After asking Viscount Roland for his understanding, Kim Chul-soo began to organize the order. The external nobles of the Viscount’s mansion, reminiscent of a flea market, hesitated but responded to Kim Chul-soo’s intentions.

Still, they had come a long way, so they thought they might as well try the treatment.

In their hearts, suspicion lingered, “Is this person of color really Kim Charles? Or is he a fake?”

“Miss Katherine. Can you check the pulse and respiration rate every minute like last time? This time, let’s also check the body temperature. If the patient’s forehead and neck feel hot, or if their face is excessively red. If they have a headache, bring them to me.”

Since there was no thermometer, Kim Chul-soo had taught Katherine how to measure body temperature without one.

“Yeah, got it!”

“I will do it with the interns!”

It would take ages to check the pulse of so many patients alone.

I have to do it with the interns.

Fortunately, Katherine had a knack for it, so she dealt with patients while teaching the interns how to check the pulse.

“Good, the basics are covered.”

Kim Chul-soo nodded.

Checking the pulse is the most common task for nurses, done at least four times a day in a hospital.

Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and body temperature!

Collectively referred to as “vital signs.”

Vital signs are the foundation of all treatments.

Most diseases reveal their symptoms through blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and body temperature.

Unfortunately, there is no blood pressure gauge, so it’s excluded.

Kim Chul-soo prioritized treating those with abnormal pulse, respiration, and body temperature.

Those who seemed more urgent were treated first, as it is better to deal with patients who appear to be in greater need.

“Okay, the patient will be coming. Lord Zakar? Pulse 56 beats per minute… Everything else seems fine. Your pulse is just a little slow. Let me check again. 57 beats per minute… Alright. Do you ever feel fatigued or dizzy?”

“Occasionally… but not often.”

“Have you ever fainted suddenly?”

“No, never.”

“Alright. A slow pulse can occur when the heart is weak. However, as long as it’s not below 50 beats per minute, it can be considered within the normal range. Try to avoid stressful situations and drink alcohol in moderation.”

“Ah, very detailed. Thank you so much!”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Take care. Now, the next patient will be coming.”

“Chulsoo, should we prioritize the more critical cases, Emma?”

“Yes, please do that.”

The patients, who had been skeptical of Kim Chulsoo’s proficiency, had a change of heart.

Could it be that Kim Chulsoo is really Kim Charles?

The treatments of the temple’s medical priests were usually vague, associating them with the devil’s curse and scriptures.

Meanwhile, Kim Chulsoo treated by referencing specific parts of the body and even taught methods for disease prevention.

The noble patients found it refreshing.

Even if Kim Chulsoo wasn’t Kim Charles, his treatments were beneficial!

—

“Hmm… I held hands with him, but my blindness didn’t improve.”

“Oh, patient. Holding hands won’t cure your blindness.”

“…I see.”

“Just because you saw Kim Charles, does that mean I’ll live longer now?”

“Longevity requires proper care! Seeing me won’t make you live longer!”

Some patients were disappointed after hearing strange rumors, but overall, the treatments were successful!

Most of the patients left satisfied.

“Kim Charles is truly a kind healer. I’ve learned that I’m healthy.”

“Is that all? I even learned how to prevent diseases! Haha!”

If there were a hospital review page, wouldn’t it have been a perfect 5 out of 5!

Praise was abundant, and now there was a general belief that I was Kim Charles.

Was it because of my diligent treatments?

Some even tried to give me a gold nugget as a medical fee, which I declined.

“Take this gold nugget!”

“A gold nugget… Haha, the medical fee is unnecessary. I didn’t perform any surgery. I just checked your pulse and provided treatment. Just go home.”

Honestly, I have enough money.

While treating Miss Irene this time, Duke Jackson and Viscount Roland sent me a huge pile of gold coins!

It would be worth more than 10 billion won, like those insurance ads saying “Received 10 billion won.”

“Haha, it feels good to think about it again.”

Kim Chulsoo, a commoner in Korea, is thriving in this otherworldly survival story!

Thinking about what to do with the money from Duke Jackson, my spirits lifted.

I realized I was drawing a lot of attention from the patients.

“Cough! Well, if I’m in a tough spot, so be it.”

If it wasn’t urgent, I didn’t expect any payment.

“Sigh… But I can’t just go back like this, feeling too sorry.”

“Hehe. If you’re sorry, then sleep at the designated time, have your meal, and exercise. That’s what I wish for.”

“Haha, I’ll make sure to do that!”

“Yes. Please make sure to do so.”

After thanking me several times, the patient left.

I stretched and took a deep breath for a moment.

Luckily, there wasn’t a single real emergency patient; most just came for a check-up and left.

Well, if it were a real emergency, they would’ve sought help from a nearby medic.

There wouldn’t be any need for the Viscount de Roland to come all the way here.

I looked up at the sky.

The sun was slowly setting. It must be around 6 in the evening now.

I got up and informed the remaining patients that they could get a vacant room from Viscount de Roland to stay for the night and that the medical services were concluded.

“Today’s medical services end here!”

“Huh? Aren’t there still patients left?”

“Miss Catherine, you haven’t even had your meal and helped me. We need to eat too. If there were emergency patients, we’d attend to them immediately, but there are none at the moment. The patients here are those who will stay overnight at the estate. It’s enough to resume treatment tomorrow.”

Above all, adhering to this schedule of medical services from now on is crucial for establishing a system.

The patients seemed disappointed at my announcement but didn’t show any complaints.

Perhaps it was because I successfully wrapped up today’s medical services.

“Phew! Understood!”

Miss Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto an empty chair.

“I’m grateful to Miss.”

Miss Catherine had a tough day today.

She even skipped lunch to assist me.

If it weren’t for Miss Catherine and the maids, I would’ve struggled to handle all those patients alone!

“I should really consider hiring help.”

I felt the workload today and decided to put my plan into action.

If I become famous, I have a plan in mind.

Hiring colleagues!

I’ll hire an assistant in the guise of a nurse, someone reliable and diligent!

That way, I won’t risk overworking myself!?

I envisioned establishing a medical organization under Viscount de Roland.
