Doctor Goes Back to Joseon

Chapter 94: Wrist Reconstruction [1]

Translator: None Editor: One Mountain Guy

Ganghyuk came back to the room leaving the eunuch in the yard.

In the room, Dolseok, Yeoni, and Yeoju were packing.

Makbong was doing nothing, but Ganghyuk did not criticize him.

‘He will do his job at an emergency.’

Actually, he had great effects on the prevention of bad incidents.

To people’s eyes, Makbong looked far stronger than Yeoni.

“Hey, you must take anesthetics.”

“Yes, sir.”

Dolseok was an expert in packing.

He packed the medicine mixed with Seomsu and Chooh.

When he’s about to take a blowfish toxin, Ganghyuk was startled.

“Are you crazy? Are you trying to murder the prince?”

“No…You told me that it could work as anesthetics.”

“Heo.”

He had a good memory.

Ganghyuk murmured the same thing at a low voice, but he did not tell it to him clearly.

However, Dolseok remembered it.

“Yes, you are right.”

“Yes, I heard it.”

Dolseok picked the poison again smiling.

He was smiling before he was hit by Ganghyuk.

Udantangtang!

The noise was very loud, even the man in the yard waiting for them could hear.

‘He must be a gangster.’

The eunuch thought.

He was the one who kicked the prince.

He could kill his servant.

The eunuch frowned because he did not want Gwanghae to make friends with such a villain.

Dolseok also frowned in the room. It was because of the pain.

“Why did you hit me?”

“Don’t put it. Even though it could be a kind of anesthetic it cannot be used for the prince.”

“I don’t understand.”

“I will explain it later. Just memorize it now. I will use it for Makbong.”

When his name was heard, Makbong opened his eyes wide.

“Me? Will I have an operation?”

“Ah…I did not tell you.”

“I am healthy, and I do not have hemorrhoids.”

Makbong pointed here and there with his hand to show he was healthy.

“You snore too much. It made me nervous.”

“Ah…you are right. Makbong snore like a pig.”

Dolseok agreed.

“Can you cure it?”

Yeoni showed great interest in this.

As a matter of fact, the loud snoring of Makbong was notorious in the Aeogae group.

In spite of his excellent skills, he was almost expelled because of complaints.

Ganghyuk nodded his head with a confident face at Yeoni’s question.

“Yes, of course. I can.”

“Please do it for him as soon as possible.”

“Yes, I can hear it even at the next door.”

Yeoju agreed.

All seemed to welcome his operation except himself.

The same scene could be seen in the hospital too.

The patient himself did not feel that he must have an operation.

However, the one who slept with the patient complains that he had to have an operation.

At the face of Makbong, he could see a father who was dragged to the hospital by his wife.

“But…He said he would use the toxin, but nobody objected…”

“Is there anyone who was killed by the blowfish poison?”

“Nobody died, but I saw many people who were tortured.”

Ganghyuk could understand his fear.

Euiyeon of Daedonggye could not endure the torture and told everything he knew.

Ganghyuk did not intend to torture Makbong though. It was a groundless fear.

“You will not have pain.”

“But it sounds …”

“Don’t worry, but at the moment the prince’s wrist is far more important. Have you packed it all?”

“Yes, sir.”

Dolseok picked up the backpack which filled with medicine including anesthetics.

Yeoni carried basin for boiled water and other equipment on her back.

Yeoju packed her drawing tools.

They looked like a Dream Team in Joseon.

Ganghyuk said with a smile of satisfaction.

“Ok. Get going.”

They were escorted by the eunuch.

Nobody would stop them.

They were not stopped by the guard of the palace.

However, there was someone who stopped them, Lee Hangbok.

He came to Ganghyuk recognizing his group from the distance.

He was awarded as Pyeongnangongshin [similar to receiving a medal from the government] as he could successfully finish Gichukoksa.

“Hi, Ganghyuk”

Even though he had a higher office, his personality did not change.

He behavior still looked like a gangster in the marketplace.

“Ah, sir.”

Ganghyuk greeted him with a light bow.

Hangbok tapped his back laughing.

His eyes were already looking at the eunuch.

As Hangbok did have a good memory, he had already recognized who he served for.

“I heard you came to the palace quite often, so I thought you were interested in public office, but it seems that you befriended the prince.”

“Yes, you are right.”

“That’s good.”

Hangbok tapped his back smiling.

While tapping his back, he waved his hand towards the eunuch to ask him to leave them alone for a while.

The eunuch could not help following him, as he was one of the big powers in the palace.

After he saw the eunuch leave, he whispered at Ganghyuk’s ears.

“Be careful. The king is still young, and he does not like the princes to have his people.”

“Ah, I see.”

Ganghyuk realized his situation.

He did not think about it before Hangbok pointed it.

Ganghyuk did not intend to take advantage of Gwanghae.

Ganghyuk through Gwanghae was a better king than Seonjo, but, regardless of this, he was still the king.

‘But nobody knows what I am thinking, and they may misunderstand me.’

Ganghyuk observed the people around him.

Most of them passed him by without giving him special attention.

Sometimes, there were people who would recognize him.

He cured Ryu Seongyong and helped Lee Hangbok in Gichukoksa.

Although he did not have any public office, he had some power in that sense.

He received gifts nearly every day, and they were delivered to his house.

‘I must be careful.’

As Lee Hangbok mentioned, Seonjo was still young.

Considering his life span, he would live for many more decades.

His advice was very precious.

“Thank you, sir.”

“Yes, I thought you would understand. You are different from the other one.”

Lee Hangbok disappeared, leaving a riddle.

‘Who is the other one?’

Ganghyuk murmured.

He could not think of anyone, though.

‘Anyway, I need to treat him. And then…I need to be careful.’

Ganghyuk followed the eunuch again.

After a while, he could arrive at the place of Gwanghae.

The first thing he could see was the rock in the yard.

One difference from the other day was there was a drawing which was not erased yet.

It was not a complete drawing.

It seemed he stopped while erasing.

‘He must have stopped erasing because he had too much pain.’

With the thought that his status might be worse than he expected, he expedited his steps.

“Where is His Highness”

“His Highness is in his room. Dr. Heo Jun came.”

“Please report that I am here.”

“Yes.”

Ganghyuk used common language to the eunuch, but he did not recognize the change of his language.

He went into the room and came back.

“He asked you to come in.”

“Eum, I see.”

Ganghyuk came in, leaving his shoes on the terrace stones.

Dolseok, Yeoni, Yeoju, and Makbong followed.

Although Makbong did not have any special work to do, Ganghyuk told him to come in.

It was better to keep him inside rather than leave him outside and get him into an accident.

“Oh, you came.”

Gwanghae looked sick.

He placed his right hand on a pillow, but he seemed to feel pain.

“Ah, you don’t look good.”

“I am sorry. I did not follow your instruction.”

“Can I see?”

“Yes, please.”

Ganghyuk rolled up his sleeves.

His wrist was swollen.

‘Ah, this is not good.’

Swelling was an omen.

Pugrereuk!

When Ganghyuk touched the wrist, there was a sound as if air was coming out of it.

“Eok”

Gwanghae shrieked.

“Eum”

Ganghyuk moaned.

He could not think of other methods of curing the prince than going through the operation.

‘The articular capsule is broken. The problem is which one is broken…It seems the huckle bone side…I can suture.’

The status was not good at all and it might take a long time.

Ganghyuk looked at Dolseok, thinking that he might need to ask him to leave and take the poison.

His eyes were fixed at the carriage on Dolseok’s back.

‘I would rather use the blowfish poison, but it might be dangerous…’

It was not perfect yet to be used in an operation.

The concentration was good, but he should need a device to stabilize breath.

Such as a catheter to insert in the airway.

“Today, I will use a stable and safe anesthetic.’

Ganghyuk finished his contemplation shortly.

As he had planned the operation in his head before, he could begin with a little adjustment.

“How is it? Too bad?”

Gwanghae asked with a worried face.

He was worried it might not be curable.

Heo Jun, standing behind, showed the same facial expression.

He was not good at surgical cases yet.

“It is not good.”

“Is it serious? Will I not be able to use this wrist again?”

If it were not for Ganghyuk, he would not be able to use it again.

‘I should not have injected steroid.’

If he had not given him the injection, Gwanghae could not have used his wrist too much.

He might have suffered less from pain.

‘It might be a side effect.’

Although steroids were good medicine, it should be used with careful consideration.

When it was injected to the joint or ligament, one should be very careful.

It could break the ligament.

‘Is it because of me?’

Ganghyuk was startled alone, but he changed his attitude quickly.

It could not be his mistake.

It could not happen.

He thought he must cure him.

Whether it was because of his fault or not, Gwanghae was his patient. He was strongly determined that he would cure his patient with all his might.

“No, I will cure you, but I need to use the scalpel.”

“I will take the risk.”

“Dr. Heo, please help me.”

“Yes.”

“Then…”

Ganghyuk took out the anesthetic from the carriage.

Heo Jun poured boiled water in the basin Yeoni brought.

It seemed Heo Jun had boiled water.

“Your Highness, take this and sleep.”

“Sleep?”

“Yes, when you wake up again, the operation would have ended.”

“Eum.”

Gwanghae looked at Ganghyuk and Heo Jun alternatively.

As two of them nodded their heads together, he could not refuse it.

“Okay.”

“Your Highness, do not worry.”

Ganghyuk counted to seven, and Gwanghae fell asleep.

Now the ball was in his net.

Ganghyuk rubbed his hands and made orders.

“Dolseok and Yeoni. Wear your masks, Dr. Heo, check if the prince is breathing well. Yeoju, draw the scene. Makbong, standby there.”

“And you?”

“Give me the scalpel.”
