Doctor Player Chapter 195
‘First of all, we need to find out exactly what the problem is. How exactly are you unwell?’
The first step in patient examination is a medical examination.
I had to find out what caused the pain through conversation.
Raymond asked the griffon.
“How are you sick?”
Then, as if he understood what he was saying, the answer came.
[I can’t breathe well, human.]
“Since when?”
[It suddenly became like this after consuming the Minotaur today.]
Minotaur.
It was a cow-headed monster.
[Recently, I have been starving for a long time, so I ate in a hurry, but suddenly my throat hurts and I can’t breathe well.]
Neck pain after a quick meal Difficulty breathing Strange wheezing sound.
A diagnosis popped into my mind.
‘if?’
Raymond checked to rule out other problems before making a diagnosis.
“Why did you starve for so long? Are there any other discomforts with your body?”
[That’s not it, I didn’t hunt because it was annoying, so I starved. I hate hunting so much. I wish someone would feed me.]
‘... ... .’
hunting is boring
It was like a strange griffon.
In any case, if there were no other problems, the guess I just came up with seemed solid.
‘It’s aspiration (Asphy×iation).’
It means that foreign substances enter the airway and block it!
Raymond checked with a stethoscope.
Fixed wheezing was heard when the airway was blocked.
‘There’s food caught in the middle of the prayer!’
An airway foreign body was a great emergency.
‘If I were a human, I would not have lasted long and would have passed out and died.’
Thanks to Griffon’s unique huge lung capacity, it seemed to be maintaining a relatively normal condition even with a narrowed airway.
‘But you never know when it will get worse. If the food goes down the airway and completely blocks the breath, it will die instantly.’
Raymond made a serious face.
There were more problems.
It was just a way to get rid of the foreign body.
‘What can I do? A foreign object lodged in the airway cannot be easily removed?’
The first principle of foreign body treatment was removal through rigid bronchoscopy.
A hard, large-diameter, straight endoscope is inserted into the breathing passage connected to the oral cavity to remove foreign matter.
This method was the cleanest and fastest way to remove foreign matter.
The problem was risk.
The moment the tube is inserted, the breath becomes more blocked, making it impossible to breathe properly.
Also, if a foreign object was accidentally touched and it became more deeply embedded, it could completely block the breath and cause death.
‘Even on the modern Earth, such an organ removal is considered a very dangerous procedure. To the extent that even doctors shun it.’
The moment you do so, the patient may die.
Therefore, it could be safer to open the bronchi and remove it surgically.
Raymond explained it.
“There are two treatments. One is to insert a tube to remove it, and the other is surgically... ... Surgery is safer... ... .”
I recommended surgery as much as possible, but Griffin showed an unexpected reaction.
[hate! To put a knife to your throat! I ran away from the crowd because I hate seeing blood! I absolutely hate it!]
‘... ... .’
this griffon.
It seems that he is a lazy man and a serious coward.
“No, but it might be dangerous to put the tube in and remove it... ... If you do it wrong, you could die.”
[I hate it though! wish you good luck! If you save me, I’ll do anything for you!]
“Anything?”
[Yes, if you don’t have to fight, I’ll do anything for you!]
Seeing him say that, it seemed like he absolutely hated surgery.
The person to be treated strongly refused, so there was no choice.
“Elmude, will you prepare a long, hard iron bar? With a perfectly clean trim on the outside.”
“Your lord.”
There are no endoscopes in this world.
I had to do something with a replacement.
Raymond thought, holding up a long iron bar.
‘Rigid bronchoscopy is just like this stick shape.’
Rigid bronchoscopy looks like a long iron rod unlike general bendable endoscopes.
‘I have to use this stick somehow like an endoscope.’
[The skill ‘Eye of the Sky’ is manifested!]
[Shares the field of view with the medium!]
[Mana is consumed! (Remaining mana: 54, can be maintained for a total of 162 seconds!)]
Mana consumption was faster than expected.
‘What’s going on so fast? Is it roughly 1 mana per 3 seconds? I only have about three minutes.’
3 minutes!
It was a passing time at the moment of oops.
Raymond moved his hand, concentrating on the vision at the tip of the stick.
Gently pressing down on his thick tongue, he entered an organ shaped like a stack of wheels.
But at that moment!
The thing I was worried about happened.
“Kreuk. Cra!”
The long pole choked him even more, and the griffon twisted!
“master!”
“Lord! Dangerous!”
Those who were watching from the side raised their swords in surprise.
He tried to swing his sword, fearing that Raymond would be in danger due to Gryphon’s rampage.
“for a moment! wait! it’s okay!”
Raymond shouted to Gryphon as well.
“It will be over soon, so hang on!”
I tried to enter as carefully as possible, but the gryphon was breathing heavily and could not calm down.
It was a natural reaction to be out of breath.
‘What can I do? Should I stop the procedure, let it settle down, and then try again?’
But because of Mana, I couldn’t do that.
A minute passed in an instant.
The remaining mana is about 30. There was only about 1 minute and 30 seconds left.
‘I have to do something.’
He gnashed his teeth and tried to enter the stick, but the griffon reacted even more fiercely.
[Turn it off. How many breaths... ... ! Stop that. Stop!]
Griffon’s eyes became blurry, as if he was simply being mean. In fact, severe hypoxia has come.
‘Damn it, I’d be a little better if I could supply oxygen.’
In preparation for this situation, modern earth bronchoscopy is equipped with a device to supply oxygen.
‘I can’t stand it like this. How is this?’
Raymond thought quickly.
Was it because he was eagerly thinking?
A flashy method came to mind.
‘Skill use wind magic!’
It was wind magic!
[Standard-grade wind magic is manifested!]
[Intelligence stat is ‘very’ high compared to the level of magic!]
[Detailed ‘application’ of magic becomes possible!]
Raymond demonstrates the ability to operate magic through high intelligence, controlled movement.
Air was forced into the lungs through a narrow gap between the bronchial wall and the rod.
The effect seemed to have improved the griffon’s complexion a little.
However, an additional problem arose
[The use of wind magic further accelerates the consumption of mana!]
[Remaining mana: 20]
Raymond gritted his teeth.
Considering the accelerated mana consumption rate, there was less than a minute left.
‘No chance. You have to succeed at once.’
Raymond earnestly asked Griffin.
“please. You can’t move any more.”
Even if air is supplied, if the stick is inserted deep into the bronchus, you will feel a tremendous foreign body sensation.
It’s easy if you think about Sared. Even a few drops of water was so painful, but there was no way it wouldn’t be painful to go in with a long stick.
However, if you move your body in pain, the procedure will fail.
I had to endure it somehow.
Raymond spoke with the utmost sincerity.
“I will definitely save you, so please trust me.”
[...] ... !]
Does it make sense?
The griffon’s eyes fluttered and his body stood still.
It was something I tried to endure.
‘let’s go.’
Raymond gritted his teeth and pushed the stick in.
Now, there are only about 30 seconds left.
If you make a mistake even for a moment, it’s over.
