The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 162

Episode 162 When a ventilator is needed (1)

“It’s Guillain-Barre syndrome. And I have a way to fix this.”

A confident smile appeared on Rakiel’s lips. He looked at the contents of the memory drawer.

Guillain-Barre syndrome.

This was a very rare disease in which inflammation in the nerves caused muscle paralysis. However, the problem was that even with modern medicine, the exact initial cause of inflammation was not known.

Rakiel said as he organized his thoughts.

“Well, the symptoms of this syndrome are exactly what everyone has seen in patients so far. Gastrointestinal diseases such as colds, respiratory diseases, and enteritis begin about 1 to 3 weeks before full-scale symptoms appear. Or, symptoms may begin due to trauma or the aftereffects of surgery. After that, paralysis gradually progresses from the extremities of the extremities. Oh and-”

He shrugged.

“On rare occasions, there is a chance of about 1 in a million that you may develop the syndrome as an aftereffect after receiving a vaccine such as the flu.”

“…What is a vaccine?”

“There is such a thing.”

Rakiel sneered.

Kelod’s question continued.

“Then why did this happen?”

“cause?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know.”

“Yes?”

“No one knows.”

“….”

“Just tell me what you guess? The most influential hypotheses include immune disease and virus theories. Campylobacter, mycoplasmal pneumonia or enteritis, herpes type 4 virus, influenza, hepatitis, HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, lupus Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and… there’s also the most fucked-up COVID-19.”

“….”

“In the extra episode, if you get the wrong vaccine, you win. For example, H1N1 swine flu vaccine, tetanus, rabies, meningitis, and even hepatitis B. Anyway, in general, there are cases where your immune system gets messed up due to the aftereffects of getting infected with those nasty things or being unlucky after receiving a vaccine. “Then the twisted immune system creates illusions.”

“….”

“The molecular structure of the outer shell of some viruses or bacteria is similar to that of human nerve cell myelin, so the slightly intoxicated immune system mistakes the nerve cell myelin for a virus or bacteria and attacks it. the poor. “Team kill, I mean team kill.”

“….”

“Well, that’s roughly how the nerve cells become damaged and paralysis occurs as a result… I guess that’s about it. However, it is not a well-conclusive theory, but it is still a strong hypothesis.”

“….”

“But why didn’t you say anything a while ago?”

“sorry.”

“huh?”

“I couldn’t understand a single word of what you were saying.”

“yes I’m fine. I didn’t expect much. In fact, I just explained it in a very abbreviated way.”

“….”

Kelod, a graduating doctor, was at a loss for words. His stern gaze was directed at the crown prince.

‘Can I trust this person?’

no.

The more I look at it, the more suspicious it becomes. The story the crown prince had just told was the same.

‘Guillain-Barre Syndrome? vaccine? Herpes type 4 virus? Nerve cell myelin? What is molecular structure? ‘How on earth did the crown prince come up with such words?’

These were all unfamiliar words I had never heard before. He was saying such things as if they were so obvious that I couldn’t believe it. It felt like he was just using flashy language to deceive himself and his team members.

‘The professor also warned me to be careful. Basically, it is said that scammers and quacks make their explanations plausible and complicated. Beware of such people.’

It still seemed that way. The crown prince’s claims and diagnosis were not trustworthy. Kelod’s voice, which spoke back naturally, also calmed down.

“Then, ultimately, Your Highness is saying that you don’t know the cause.”

“What is the general outline?”

“Was it a deception when you said you knew the cure?”

His question became sharper.

I don’t know the cause, but I can treat it. nonsense. It’s nonsense. He glanced back at the other team members. The group members who caught the attention nodded faintly. Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts. The crown prince is now bluffing nonsense.

‘of course. ‘I’ve never encountered such strange knowledge anywhere.’

I haven’t seen it in any literature. Neither the professors nor the dean have ever said anything like that. Of course. Because they’re just empty words that don’t exist.

Thanks to his blatant suspicion, what about Rachiel?

“It’s a deception. “Hehehe.”

I just laughed.

“You think I was bluffing. yes?”

“yes. To be honest… yes.”

“That’s too honest.”

“Because the patient’s future is at stake.”

“Are you going to make it clear?”

“yes. “I’m sorry, but could you tell me where you got the knowledge you just mentioned?”

“It’s nothing difficult.”

Rakiel grinned. He calmly presented a mixture of truth and lies.

“I saw it in an ancient document stored in the imperial palace archives.”

“You mean ancient texts?”

“okay. It contained a lot of knowledge from ancient, lost supercivilized countries. Among them were ancient medical techniques that are now forgotten.”

“What is that…”

“I saw it there.”

“….”

“If you don’t believe it, go and check it yourself.”

Rakiel shrugged his shoulders calmly. Thanks to this, Kelod was left speechless. Go to the Imperial Palace Vigo and check it out yourself. It was a place that even the royal family found difficult to enter. But what about yourself?

‘Was the Crown Prince such a despicable person?’

He had to enjoy the feeling of having every piece of humanity he had cherished being crushed to pieces. But whether he felt that way or not, Rachiel didn’t care at all.

Because there are much more urgent matters now.

“Anyway, the reliability of what I say is not important right now. “If it’s for the sake of the patient, there are other things that need to be prepared and considered more important.”

Rakiel looked back at everyone.

Eyes that still don’t trust this side very much. But it doesn’t matter. It will change on its own soon. Even if you don’t like it, you’ll depend on it.

He said it with confidence.

“The patient’s breathing will soon be impaired.”

“…yes?”

Kelod frowned.

“Are you having trouble breathing? majesty. The patient is currently only experiencing lower limb paralysis…”

“I know. So far, only my lower extremities are paralyzed, but breathing paralysis will come soon. “That will be the biggest hurdle.”

“What is that….”

“About 40% of patients suffering from Guillain-Barre syndrome usually experience acute respiratory failure due to phrenic nerve paralysis. In more severe cases, you may experience symptoms such as quadriplegia or dysautonomia. Of course, I don’t want that to happen, but unfortunately, that patient’s symptoms are likely to progress to that point.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“Because I had a pulse.”

It was true.

I was in the middle of taking a pulse earlier. As usual, the five organs and six departments consulted with the patient’s five organs and six departments. Then, the patient’s lungs heard important information.

‘The patient’s lungs were like that. ‘My diaphragm keeps getting sore these days.’

Just looking at the cancer, it was a precursor to respiratory paralysis caused by acute respiratory failure. It didn’t end there. When I listened to what the other five organs and six people had to say, I got a glimpse of the possibility that it could get even worse.

It seemed right to prepare immediately.

“That’s why. “Mechanical ventilation is needed.”

“yes?”

“In simple terms, it is a respirator. So, for now, just keep an eye on the patient. “Until I get a respirator.”

“….”

What are you talking about?

The brows of the group members, including Kelod, furrowed again. But regardless, Rachiel slinked away to the other side of the hallway.

The remaining group members looked at each other and shook their heads. And on the other hand, I thought. The crown prince seems to have no answer. Let’s do our best together.

A sad and solemn feeling permeated through everyone’s back-and-forth looks as they sensed that a member of the group project had been disqualified.

♣

“Whoa.”

It becomes sad and sad. Trying to use up so much HP again today makes me feel confused to the bottom of my soul.

Rachiel took a deep breath to control her mind.

And I looked around.

‘No one will be there, right?’

The place he came to, abandoning his group (?), was an empty hospital room. With the door locked, it seemed like a good idea to secretly do something secret. For example, things like picking out phantom species that don’t exist in the world.

‘It’s very difficult to get a medical license.’

I never thought I would do something like this to pass the medical school graduation exam. But I couldn’t help it. As I told the team members earlier, the patient was showing clear signs of acute respiratory failure.

‘It could start as early as two or three days.’

But what if there is no respirator? Something big happens. You may have to watch the patient die without even being able to use your hands. I didn’t like that. I will fail the graduation exam and I will not be able to get my doctor’s license. Then, the Byeolgung Oriental Medical Clinic will not be able to register as an official medical facility and will not be able to hire doctors…

‘My plan to grow the Byeolgung Oriental Medical Clinic into a general hospital is also shaky from the ground up. That’s not allowed.’

So this is an investment.

A detached oriental medicine clinic that continues to prosper. Bonus life that will automatically accumulate. It is just a big and wise investment for the Mansour life that you will enjoy as long as you have ten longevity. That’s just it. So let’s not cry.

‘…Oh my gosh, it’s a boat!’

Rakiel tried to soothe her aching lower abdomen and opened the system window. I selected the phantom species selection menu.

Ding dong!

[You have selected the fantasy species selection draw item.]

[You can draw a fantasy species by investing a certain amount of HP.]

[Powerful and unique fantasy species are absolutely loyal to the owner who summoned them and have a variety of abilities. will be provided.]

[Selection Draw (3rd round) Cost = 2700 HP]

[Currently possessed HP: 2900]

[Do you want to run the Phantom Species Selection Draw?]

[YES / NO]

A familiar selection window appeared.

He chose ‘YES’ without hesitation.

[Execute the drawing to select a fantasy species.]

Along with the notice, 2700 blood-like HP were cut away and disappeared. Thanks to this, a holographic notice appeared through the tears welling up in my eyes.

Fahaha!

[Please indicate the function you want for the fantasy species before drawing the selection.]

[The candidate group of fantasy species presented in the selection drawing will be set according to the functions you want.]

The moment the long-awaited guidance message came to mind, Rachiel thought in advance. I detailed the requests I was making.

‘In the case of critical respiratory distress or respiratory arrest, metabolic acidosis or respiratory muscle fatigue, hypoxia of PaO2 50 mmHg, intraarterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) and arterial pressure It is an annular type that has the ability to actively assist and guarantee respiratory volume and air pressure by actively calculating the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and setting the inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) required for the patient. ‘

[….]

‘hey?’

[…Your requirements are too damn good.]

‘….’

[And our system decided to call this ‘the truth’.]

‘….’

[The features you want for the phantom species ‘Please explain as simply as possible.’]

‘Tsk.’

i get it.

Rakiel suppressed a bitter smile and spoke again.

‘I want a phantom species that has the ability to actively and autonomously help patients with breathing difficulties breathe.’

[Please don’t do that from the beginning.]

‘….’

Why do I feel like I’m being scolded?

[Your request has been registered.]

Ding dong!

The notice was engulfed in light. The brilliance rotated and turned into a three-pronged card. Soon, a simple introduction profile appeared on each card.

But what are those contents?

‘…What is this?’

After checking the contents of the three cards, Rakiel had to feel embarrassed, as if her cerebral cortex was casting PT 8 full body twist without her knowledge.
