I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon -
Chapter 249
Episode 249. Being screened for a patient (2)
“You seemed to be quite a high-ranking official…”
“Are you saying you don’t trust my skills right now?”
“Oh no.”
Congressman Phil arrived at the medical room after a while, and when he saw the luxurious-looking carriage and guards, he opened his mouth like a hamburger without even realizing it.
‘It’s a code! You can earn a moon potch in one shot. No, what is Dalpo? If you coax him well, you can earn a year’s worth.’
“Are you a member of this hospital?”
“Yes sir.”
“I fell off a horse while riding a horse a while ago, and I must have fallen by mistake. Since then, my left knee has been sore. I heard rumors that there is an outstanding person here in Chohyeon, is that you?”
Pilbu immediately thought of the painter, but did not bring him out of his mouth.
“There are many famous people in Chohyeon, Bonsi. I don’t know if I am the doctor you mentioned, but I don’t think there is any doctor who treats patients better than I do.”
“Hehe, your confidence is amazing. Then heal my knee.”
“yes.”
Pilbu inspected the father’s knees, who appeared to be in his mid-40s, and pressed several places with his fingers.
“If you feel any pain when I press it, please tell me.”
“I get it.”
After pressing the patient’s legs, Pilbu used acupuncture, referring to several places that were painful.
“You should get acupuncture and take decoctions for a month.”
“what! one month? Are you that serious?”
“Your knee is a place that supports the weight of your body, so even if it doesn’t hurt much, once it hurts, you have no choice but to treat it for a long time.”
“It’s hard to come here for treatment for a month…”
“If you tell me about you, I’ll make a house visit.”
“It’s a long way to come on horseback, so is that okay?”
“If you leave early in the morning, no problem.”
“Yeah, but I’ve been smelling alcohol from somewhere… You’re probably not drinking and spitting on me right now?”
Pilbu, who heard the middle-aged man’s words, was shocked, but gave an excuse that he had hastily thought of.
“Early in the morning, Mr. Jo, a drunkard, asked for a house visit, but the smell of alcohol seems to have stuck to his body.”
“Yeah, so it smelled like alcohol. If someone drank alcohol and tried acupuncture, I tried to scold him, but it’s not okay. How much?”
“If you add up the cost of visits, hour-handling, and tea for one month, it’s ten gold nyang.”
“That ten gold? Isn’t it too much for a little knee pain?”
“Because I have to go to a house visit, I should have received 12 nyang, but since you came all the way today, I put an extra charge on it.”
“Yeah, I got it. Give the money to Congressman Seo.”
“yes. here’s the money And I have to visit…”
The general took out money from his pocket and told me the location of the house where I would visit from tomorrow.
“Then I’ll make a house visit tomorrow morning.”
“I get it.”
The middle-aged man nodded and got up and started walking towards the carriage, stumbling and about to fall.
“uh? Uh…”
Fortunately, the escort was quick to help and didn’t fall, but if it wasn’t for that, he would have looked ugly.
“Are you okay sir?”
“I can’t seem to get any strength into my left knee that was hit by the acupuncture needles!”
The heads of the escort warriors, the commander-in-chief, and several escorts and medical students who had been supporting for a moment turned toward Congressman Phil.
Senator Phil approached the middle-aged man with a look of disbelief, startled.
“You mean you don’t have enough strength?”
“How did this happen? Could it be that the needle was placed incorrectly?”
“Could that be? Also, after being acupuncture, the muscles may be temporarily stiff, so again…”
“Senator Phil, Senator Phil.”
At that time, Jeom So-yi of Hyeon-o Gaek-jan entered the entrance of the Ui-bang and called for the writing.
“Keuheum, what’s the matter, are you looking for me?”
“Since the congressman paid less for alcohol, my master asked me to bring it.”
rattle.
For a moment, Congressman Phil received a shock as if his heart was about to collapse.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. Oh, it looks like I paid less after breakfast, but it’s old. take it The remaining money is for your errands.”
Congressman Phil tried to get out of the situation quickly by grabbing money from his bosom and putting it in Jeom So-yi’s hand.
“for a moment!”
However, a word from a middle-aged man quickly dispelled his intentions.
“Which inn is the fortune teller?”
“Something like a fortune teller at the guesthouse of the king…”
Tuk.
Congressman Phil hurriedly tried to distract the middle-aged man from focusing on Jeom So-yi, but he closed his mouth when the escort’s scabbard stabbed his throat.
“Don’t interfere.”
“I will ask again. Which inn is the fortune teller?”
“It’s a tongue-in-cheek cup.”
“Did this doctor drink at your inn this morning?”
After looking alternately at Congressman Phil and the middle-aged man, Jeom So-yi involuntarily swallowed a dry saliva.
“That’s it…”
“If you don’t tell me the right way, your head will run away.”
“You had a drink with other members in the morning.”
“You mean you drank and spit on my leg!”
“I am Nari. I just took a small bite of the drink. I never drank.”
Senator Phil hurriedly prostrated himself toward the middle-aged man.
“Didn’t you tell me earlier that you were visiting as a drunkard?”
“As an accompaniment on the way back from a visit to Susuldoga…”
“Where is Suldoga?”
“yes?”
“Don’t make me ask twice.”
“yes yes. That’s…”
“Couldn’t you tell me the right way?”
As the escort warrior pulled the sword out of its scabbard, Congressman Phil became contemplative. At first glance, if he lied, he would have someone check it out, so he didn’t dare lie anymore.
“Please save me. Nari Soin kept lying. Please forgive me just once.”
“Heh heh… that’s absurd. How dare you, the likes of me, deceive me and even treat me for drinking, then charge me for what I get!”
Senator Phil, who became contemplative, even trembled.
“Please save me. Please save me just once. Sir…”
“My last name is not fulfilled just by beating the neck. This guy and this doctor’s room… No, first, send this guy to the prefectural office.”
When the middle-aged man ran out of words, the guards moved in perfect order.
Congressman Phil cried and begged for his hands to become feet, but the middle-aged man, supported by the commander-in-chief and returning to the carriage, did not even turn his head.

At the inn, some people were drinking and talking about a medical clinic that had recently closed down for a snack.
“So, do you know that?”
“How do I know if you say that out of the blue?”
“The members of the medical team who went bankrupt not too long ago. Well, even though they don’t have any skills, they did some quackery and even hired someone to fix it on Congressman Hwa before he was imprisoned.”
“You said that, not enough quackery, you made a mess with Congressman Hwa? What did you do?”
“It looks like they made a fuss by sending a fake patient to Clinic Hwa’s doctor’s room and saying that even though he was treated, he was getting worse with lies.”
“Huh. Did you do such a thing on a serious subject with no skills and no way to go overboard?”
“After being imprisoned, the fact was revealed, the sentence was extended, and property was confiscated according to property.”
“Now I see that the quacks were not senators, but swindlers.”
“They are very rubbish. I heard that herbalists also owe huge debts, and poor people without money received money before treatment, so their character was at the bottom.”
In several places in the inn, various words about the recently ruined lawmakers turned into snacks and were being chewed out of people’s mouths. And the lawmakers who came to drink after closing the door early because there were too many recent patients smiled bitterly as they heard their colleague chewing on them.
‘I’ll have to fight while looking at the other person… Tsk!’

“He paid me back thoroughly enough to set an example for the other members of Congress… How can I not feel at ease!”
The painter looked at the patients standing in a long line with a slightly confused expression.
Among them, there were definitely patients who needed to be treated by themselves or their disciples in an emergency, but most of them were enough to be treated at a nearby doctor’s office without having to come this far.
‘I’m not going to be a clinic to make a lot of money by myself… What should I do?’
It is the same that people flock to outstanding doctors in the future.
Even if they are in the same hospital, there is a line of appointments for doctors who are known to heal well through word of mouth, but doctors who do not see only remnants of patients.
‘You can’t choose a patient….. Even if you choose, the standards won’t be easy…’ You have
to set a standard that many people can understand so that there will be no resistance.
Of course, it’s not that I’m afraid of backlash from patients, it’s that I just don’t want people to think that way.
The painter thought for a long time, and when the proper standards were not established, he called for Janggi and Oblate.
After hearing the fireman’s words, the two thought for a moment before opening their mouths.
The first person to speak was Pyeon-won.
“I’m also a minor disease, but when I saw people who came in the morning, stood in line, and returned in the afternoon after receiving simple treatment, I thought I needed improvement.”
“How did you do in the imperial palace?”
“In the imperial palace, there are many clinics, so high-ranking officials have high-ranking clinicians, low-ranking officials have low-ranking clinicians, and new clinicians treat ordinary people. But you can’t do that here.”
“Why don’t we send back patients who can be treated at a general doctor’s office after selecting the severity of the disease?”
“To do that, at least you have to take a pulse, but it takes a lot of time, and even if it’s not a special disease, would the patient just want to go home? I’m going to go get treatment anyway.”
“Can’t we mobilize the guards and forcefully expel them?”
“Because I don’t want to go that far.”
“Then what about taking a lot of money and throwing it away?”
“The poor are treated free of charge, but wouldn’t it be against the norm to charge too much money, considering the circumstances to some extent?”
“Hey, Congressman Bogehwa. If you consider everything, in the end you can only do it like now. You have to know how to be tough sometimes. In fact, not only us but also the disciples can’t go to each other properly during the day.”
“Whoa, it’s really not that easy.”
When Rep. Jang frowned slightly, the fireman couldn’t answer right away and pondered for a while.
“As Congressman Jang said, I think I went too far. First of all, we should raise the treatment fee a little and check the pulse so that if it is not a serious illness, we should go to another doctor.”
“Good idea. That way we can live and other members can live too.”
The next day, the fireman wrote a room at the entrance to the hospital and ordered escort warriors to tell the story of the room for those who couldn’t read.
Patients who came to receive treatment were surprised and repulsed at first, but after a few days, they gradually adapted to it, and when the painter or disciples diagnosed it and said it was a disease that could be treated at another clinic, they obeyed.
Of course, it will still take a while for it to be recognized in people’s brains, but it will settle down over time.
