The Treatment Is So Good That the Patients Become Obsessed

chapter 16



16 – In Need of Sacred Power!

“I really didn’t spread any rumors!”

Matteo insisted on his innocence as if he were wailing.

If he goes this far, I should believe him.

I feel sorry for wrongly accusing a living person.

“Hmm, I suppose this much is enough for me to admit my mistake. I apologize for doubting you.”

“K-kaachoo.. If the misunderstanding is cleared, then that’s fine.”

Matteo wiped his tears away and finally calmed down.

“Phew! Anyway, Kim Cheol-su’s skills are so exceptional that even without me spreading rumors, you’ll become famous.”

“Well.. If fame is all there is, I don’t know, but the workload is too much.”

“Haha, it’s the destiny of the famous.”

Matteo nodded as if he understood my feelings.

Well, it might be like complaining in front of a maggot to be like this in front of a hero party.

Because the hero party could be facing the demon king and could die.

People’s expectations are so high that you can’t just leave the hero party.

“It seems like I’m complaining in front of the hero for no reason.”

“Haha! No, you’re not. When we fight on the battlefield, Mr. Kim Chul-soo is fighting against diseases, isn’t he?”

“That’s a good point. Matteo.”

“Haha, I mean it.”

“It’s not in that sense, but would you teach me how to make a suture?”

“A suture? Oh, you mean the real thing about stitching wounds. Of course.”

Matteo readily agreed to my request.

He said he could provide it if it was for the patients.

I took out paper and a pen and wrote down how to make silk thread from a silkworm.

In short, it was about raising and drying silkworms.

“Thank you.”

“Haha! It’s nothing special.”

I’m grateful for Matteo’s kindness.

I feel even more sorry for doubting him.

In the Middle Ages, knowledge and skills were power in themselves, so they were never shared except with family and direct disciples.

Matteo shared his skills for the public good.

I introduced Malboi, who came with me, promising to use him for good.

Now, Malboi will be active as my colleague.

I should mark the patients in advance.

“This is Malboi, who joined our medical team this time! Malboi, say hello to Matteo and patient Daisy.”

“Uh… Hello.”

Malboi spoke in a hesitant voice.

He was a proud and arrogant general in the temple, but here, his pride was completely gone.

He’s just timid!

I quickly covered for Malboi, seeing Daisy’s expression of distrust towards him as if saying, “What, this novice?”

“After learning from me, Malboi will work on the days when I’m not here. He may be inexperienced now, but he will improve.”

“…? Didn’t Dr. Kim Chul-soo treat me every day? Are you saying that Dr. Kim Chul-soo won’t treat me anymore?”

“I will continue to nurse, but I will take turns with Malboi.”

I need a day off too.

But Daisy’s expression hardened.

“Even if there are days when I don’t receive treatment, I only want to be treated by Dr. Kim Chul-soo.”

“Yes? Even if Malboi looks like this, Daisy, please…”

“Please.”

“…”

Daisy interrupted me and showed a strong determination.

Hmm, did Malboi look that incompetent?

On the first day, everyone is similar. I was also not confident at first. But Mr. Malboi will improve in the future! I believe in Mr. Malboi!

I comforted Mr. Malboi, who was making a face of refusal and dying.

Daisy glanced at me and Mr. Malboi and let out a sigh of relief.

* * * *

The equipment supply contract for Kim Chul-soo’s treatment team has ended.

First, I shared the method of making surgical thread with Margaret, the owner of the clothing store, and decided to receive a prototype.

If the prototype is satisfactory, we will proceed with mass production.

The delivery quantity has not been determined yet.

I decided to supply one month’s worth of herbs to the herbalists.

“Now it’s starting to take shape.”

After putting some furniture in the empty house and stacking herbs, it finally feels like “Kim Chul-soo Free Clinic.”

“Hmm~ I’m running a clinic.”

It’s something I couldn’t even imagine when I was living in Korea.

Establishing a hospital or clinic is something that doctors do.

It is legally prohibited for a single nurse to establish one, but it was possible here because it is the Roland Viscount’s estate.

“I like this.”

Because I can do whatever I want.

I felt a slight sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

I was confident that I could break the limits of nurses that were restricted in Korea.

I felt a surge of energy in my shoulders and a smile formed on my lips.

“Let’s treat the patients!”

After suturing Daisy’s wound, I gained confidence.

There is nothing I can’t do if I challenge myself.

I enthusiastically treated the patients.

Miss Catherine assisted skillfully, while Mr. Malboi did so clumsily.

Most of the patients were nobles who came with trivial problems.

But there were also emergency patients among them.

“Ouch!”

The patient’s right arm was swollen and red.

“I was hunting a wolf… and got bitten. Since then, my arm keeps swelling like this!”

It’s a disease called cellulitis, where the wound area becomes infected and swells.

I broke out in a cold sweat. Cellulitis is a disease that requires antibiotics.

It’s a disease that occurs when bacteria invade the wound area, so the bacteria in the body need to be eliminated.

But there are no antibiotics here.

I felt helpless.

First, I instructed Mr. Malboi to apply a cold cloth to the patient’s right arm.

I tried to reduce the swelling, but treating the disease is difficult.

That’s when I witnessed an amazing sight.

When Miss Catherine focused her divine power on the patient’s swollen arm, the swelling seemed to decrease!

[[1]]

The bacteria and germs died from sacred power!

‘Ah, I see. Sacred power can act like an antibiotic.’

I realized a new fact.

Sacred power is effective against bacteria and viruses.

Like an antibiotic.

After sacred power treatment, the patient was visibly pleased as the infected area noticeably decreased.

The impetigo was almost cured.

“I heard Kim Charles, the therapist, is really good. Thank you!”

“Patient, you are not completely cured yet, so please continue to apply sacred power regularly!”

It is important to consistently disinfect until the infected area completely heals.

The patient promised to apply sacred power regularly as suggested.

“Phew! Feeling a bit dizzy.”

Catherine, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she bid farewell to the patient.

If it weren’t for Catherine, I almost couldn’t have treated the impetigo patient.

Darn it.

I feel pathetic.

I was so proud after treating a few patients, but now I hit this wall.

Feeling angry at my helplessness, I thanked Catherine.

“Thank you so much, Catherine. You’ve been a great help.”

“Oh, no. Even without me, wouldn’t the temple people have come and used sacred power?”

“No. It’s because of you, Catherine, that we treated them so quickly.”

“Haha, if you think so, I’m grateful.”

“Catherine, could you teach me more about obtaining sacred power?”

I strongly felt the need for sacred power.

If I were alone, I couldn’t have treated the impetigo patient.

Because I can’t use sacred power.

And if another infected patient comes, I won’t be able to treat them either.

As a medical professional, I don’t want that.

I want to try everything I can.

“You have a good learning attitude. Alright, Kim Chul-soo. I’ll help you with your training!”

Fortunately, I had a good mentor by my side.

***

Since coming to this world, the first patient I couldn’t cure.

It was a fresh shock.

Seems like I had an unfounded belief that I could cure all patients without even realizing it.

‘…I’ve just been lucky so far.’

That’s exactly it, just luck.

A patient I can’t handle, like the impetigo patient I saw today, could appear at any time.

I need to be prepared.

‘Let’s obtain sacred power!’

I have made the decision.

Even though I am a lazy homebody who enjoys idleness, there is something I cannot compromise on.

That is my capacity and treatment as a medical professional!

I had plans to enhance my abilities as a medical professional in this otherworld.

Whether it’s considered a cult or whatever!

Following Catherine’s instructions, I knelt down in my room and prayed devoutly.

She said this is a way to cultivate sacred power.

Mr. Malbois couldn’t take it anymore and immediately went to the temple after finishing his work.

I anticipated that Mr. Malbois would run away, so I let it slide and focused on Catherine’s words.

“The foundation of sacred power lies in recognizing and communicating with the Holy Spirit. When you communicate with the Lord Ur, sacred power accumulates in your body. I may not be an ordinary believer, but a bishop-level believer can emit rays with sacred power! Can’t Kim Chul-soo do it if he does it well?”

…Is this Dragon Ball?

I don’t hope for that.

It just needs to be enough to disinfect!

“…I want to gain at least a little sacred power for now.”

“Hehe, I got it. When I communicate with the Lord Ur, I feel a sensation. From now on, I’ll share that sensation with you.”

Catherine held my hand and transmitted sacred power.

Ziiiiing

It feels like turning my brain into a radio and communicating with the outside world?

Zzzzzt! Television noise rang in my head.

“This is much more fantastical than I thought.”

It’s really amazing.

I feel like I’ve become a big radio.

I thought about brain waves.

The human brain is made up of electrical signals.

These brain waves can increase concentration or create dreams when sleeping.

It means that you can communicate with the outside world through these brain waves.

In other words, it means communicating with the gods through brain waves.

“Is the Lord Ur like a telephone operator?”

Will they answer even if I make a call?

Thanks to Catherine’s help, something seems to be catching, but it’s still vague…

My head is still full of noise.

…Did I concentrate for a long time?

I felt a strange sensation.
