The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 160

Episode 160 Unexplained Paralysis (1)

“This way, Your Highness.”

The medical school was considerably larger than I thought. It wasn’t just a big building. Several 3-4-story buildings were located on a fairly large site.

Do you really need to compare?

‘It’s similar to a college campus.’

One building is a training building. Some buildings are inpatient wards, etc. The classification and arrangement of buildings for various uses and purposes stood out.

Thanks to you, memories came back for a moment. It reminded me of the time I attended Korean university. At that time, I only had a few flirtations on my own, but in the end, I never had a chance to date.

‘…’

Why do I suddenly sigh?

Rachiel crumpled the heartbreaking solo chronicle(?) into a drawer in her head. And I walked diligently to focus on this life. Thanks to this, I was able to arrive at my destination soon.

It was a spacious training room in a large four-story building.

“Please eat inside, Your Majesty.”

“….”

I entered the laboratory under the guidance of the dean. At that moment, the eyes of about 30 people flew in this direction. These people are wearing pure white gowns. Their ages ranged from mid to late 20s. As soon as I saw it, I knew their identity.

‘They are seniors.’

They were prospective doctors who would soon obtain formal qualifications. But for some reason, the gaze I was looking at wasn’t very warm. Strictly speaking, it was cold and exclusive. To put it more rawly, it was harsh. It’s like looking at a stranger who came here without qualifications.

As soon as I saw those eyes, I knew it right away.

‘It looks like the rumor about me has already spread here.’

A bitter smile came out.

The students’ reaction was the same as the dean’s earlier. It was as if they were shouting with their whole body that they were the master’s disciples.

‘You probably heard that the Crown Prince is trying to use his power and status to steal your diploma. That’s probably why everyone feels bad. ‘It will look like I’m trying to conveniently take the fruits of their study and effort for years and finally achieve them without any compensation.’

If you think about it from their point of view, it could have been thought that way. So it was. I didn’t care at all whether they showed a subtle harshness in their eyes or not. He looked back at the dean with a calm expression.

“Would you like to introduce yourself?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The dean bowed his head politely and looked around at the prospective doctors.

“Everyone pay attention. Let me introduce it to you. Your Majesty Rachiel Adria Magentano, Crown Prince of the Empire. “Some of you may have heard the news in advance, but your Majesty will be participating in the graduation process together in the future, so we ask for your help.”

The dean spoke in a soulless tone. The prospective doctors applauded ceremonially with soulless expressions. When I saw them, a bitter smile came out again.

‘Everyone has no intention of treating me as a doctor.’

I could feel it as soon as I saw it.

The dean simply introduced this person as the crown prince. The dean of a medical school, or even anyone living in Magenta, the ecliptic, would know about the Villa Oriental Medicine Clinic, but he never mentioned it.

He even asked me to help him with his graduation process. In other words, he was indirectly saying that he would not be able to complete the graduation process on his own.

The attitude of prospective doctors was also similar.

“What if you do it, Dean? “Your Highness will take the graduation exam with us right away without going through the process so far?”

One of the prospective doctors came forward and asked. He was a prospective doctor with gray-brown messy hair who looked like he was studying hard.

“Oh Kelod? “You asked a good question.”

The dean laughed meaningfully at the remarks of the bushy-haired prospective doctor called ‘Kelode.’

“Your Highness will feel unfamiliar with all of our classes. So wouldn’t it be meaningful for everyone to help each other and go through the process of graduation?”

“But Dean? “What you just said seems to be different from the purpose of our university’s founding, which I have been trying to learn and put into practice.”

“Do you mean to say that in order to take responsibility, you must first be qualified?”

“That’s right.”

“There is not necessarily a set way to obtain qualifications.”

“…okay. All right.”

Kelod nodded in agreement. The dean smiled faintly bitterly. Thanks to this, Rachiel had to laugh out loud at the absurdity of it all.

‘Hey, look at these people.’

I’m here and Meg is having a conversation openly. Isn’t the crown prince’s power scary? It seemed like that.

‘They say the dean of the medical school is a very strong principled person, and that’s really true.’

So, even in the face of power and status, it may be a glimpse of his own kind of rebellion. His students, prospective doctors, also seem to have been clearly influenced by him.

So what about Rachiel?

‘I like them all.’

Rather, it was good.

If the dean had blatantly flattered him, he would have been rather disgusted. Medical professionals, people who deal with people’s lives, must be strong like that. Rather than easily giving in to power or compromising, one must be able to show stubbornness in accordance with one’s ideals and beliefs. At least that’s what Rachiel thought.

‘Once upon a time in Korea, a very upright emergency surgeon received media attention. Those people need to do well.’

So it was.

The dean and the students looked cool as they quietly and boldly peeled pumpkin seeds in front of themselves. To be more honest, I was a little jealous. If I could, I wanted to kidnap them all and get them to work at the annex oriental medicine clinic.

Meanwhile, the dean continued speaking.

“With all due respect, I will reveal the graduation exam assignments to everyone from now on.”

In an instant, the entire lab became quiet. Everyone’s eyes were sparkling and they didn’t even make a breathing sound. How long has everyone been waiting for this moment? The Dean’s announcement was made to everyone.

“Everyone may not have guessed because the content of the graduation exam changes every time, but this year’s graduation exam task will be ‘group medical treatment.’”

…Group treatment?

Could it be a group project?

Rachiel frowned. After listening to the dean’s explanation that followed, my guess was indeed correct.

“From now on, you will form a group of six and take joint charge of one patient. The goal is to take responsibility together to provide efficient intensive care to patients and cure them. Now, from now on, we will draw lots to organize the groups.”

The dean winked. The assistant professor, who had been silent until now, came out holding a box.

“There will be colored paper in the box. People who draw the same color of paper will be in a group, so feel free to try each one. Then… Your Highness? Please start with Your Highness.”

After finishing his explanation, the dean looked over. Rakiel shrugged his shoulders and put his hand in the box. I picked one out of the dozens of pieces of paper I could get my hands on.

‘Is it green?’

Next, prospective doctors from the graduating class took turns pulling out papers. There were silent joys and sorrows according to the lottery results. Some people were happy to be paired with someone who was close to them or had outstanding abilities. Another person despaired when he saw a member of the same group.

In particular, it was clear that there was a sense of disappointment in the eyes of those who drew green paper like this one.

“….”

Everyone’s eyes look like they’re screwed. Do I hate it that much? Rachiel looked at the other five people in the same group.

‘There’s that messy-haired doctor from earlier.’

The man with grayish-brown messy hair who had come forward to slightly protest to the dean just happened to look in this direction and our eyes met.

For a moment, a faint feeling of disgust appeared in his eyes. He soon turned his gaze elsewhere, but the lingering emotion that was conveyed clearly even for a short moment was clearly conveyed.

‘Other than that, um. ‘Two men and two women… are they identical twins?’

So, including this one, four boys and two twin sisters became a group.

The Dean spoke to everyone.

“Once everyone has decided on their groups, let’s move on. Your Majesty’s group is number 1. First, we will assign patients in charge starting from group 1. “Please come this way.”

I followed the dean’s instructions and left the lab. I walked down the hallway, up and down the stairs, and entered the next building. The building next door was a ward where patients were hospitalized.

“This is the place.”

The place the dean guided me to was a single-person hospital room filled with critically ill patients. A middle-aged man was lying there. However, even though the patient was in critical condition, he appeared to be conscious.

The dean approached the patient.

“Mr. Miguel? “How are you feeling today?”

“Well… it’s still the same. “My legs don’t seem to want to move again today.”

The patient tried to keep a self-deprecating smile. The dean patted the patient on the shoulder and looked back at the 1 trillion won students taking the graduation exam.

“Everyone is probably familiar with this patient. However, since you are a new participant, I will explain it again in particular. This patient is a paraplegic. However, even though there was no accident or impact injury, one day I started not being able to move my legs.”

“….”

The group members were just listening to the dean’s explanation in silence. But the expressions on their faces were all strange. If I had to describe the facial expressions they were making in one word…

‘They look like they’re screwed?’

Everyone’s complexion turned pale and stiffened, as if they just had a premonition of an explosion. Meanwhile, the dean’s explanation continued.

“First of all, the patient showed symptoms of enteritis accompanied by diarrhea four weeks before paralysis began. And for a few days, I felt a little tingling and numbness in my toes, and I also noticed that the frequency was increasing. Then, six days ago, I couldn’t move my toes, and since then, the paralysis has gradually spread upwards, and now I can’t move my entire legs. Everyone knows up to this point, right?”

“…yes.”

Kelod responded on behalf of the representative. The dean looked at everyone meaningfully.

“This patient’s future is in your hands. “I ask you to work hard together to find the cause of this patient’s paralysis and use your strength to treat it.”

The dean, who had given instructions as well as an explanation, left the hospital room. This was to assign patients to other team members.

After the dean left, everyone in the hospital room fell silent. We looked at each other. Kelod, who soon received glances from other group members, came forward as the representative.

“majesty? “I have something to tell you for a moment…”

“Outside?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Is Kelod’s attitude, which is polite but still more harsh than before, just a matter of mood? Rachiel shrugged and followed Kelod out of the hospital room. Other group members followed suit. It wasn’t until Kelod got quite far from the hospital room that he sighed.

“Hey, Your Highness. I’ll be honest with you. “Please don’t even think about doing anything for us.”

“….”

What kind of nonsense is this? Kelod continued speaking with a sigh.

“You may have just heard the Dean’s explanation, but the patient we have been assigned is suffering from paralysis whose cause is not yet known. Of course… not even the dean could figure out the cause.”

“Um, so?”

“We probably won’t be able to find out the cause either. Just like it has been for the past few days. That is why I dare to make a request to Your Majesty.”

“Don’t think about doing something?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What do you mean I will do for you?”

“Use your authority… to make our entire group pass the graduation exam.”

“hmm?”

Rachiel smiled bitterly. Now I know what Kelod is trying to say.

“So, please don’t abuse your power?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“If I do that, will all graduates not be evaluated fairly?”

“As expected, Your Highness.”

“haha. “Look at this guy.”

Rakiel stopped laughing so hard.

“What else can I say? “He said with a serious face that he had something to say, so I wondered what he was going to say.”

“But your highness. We are serious.”

It’s not that it’s not, Kelod’s expression was really serious. Looking at those eyes, I felt like I knew more clearly what kind of person he was.

‘The more I look at this guy, the more I like it?’

So Kelod and his team think they have been given an impossible task to solve. I’m sure they harbor some resentment that it’s because of this side. But even so, I am worried that this side will use a trick(?) to abuse its power.

‘I guess they want to have their skills evaluated fairly. Even if I fail the graduation exam, I don’t like tricks. They probably don’t want to cause any harm to graduates from other groups.’

These are the people who bring up such stories with such concern and sincerity. I wondered where this talent came from. And on the other hand, it was also sad. The reason for the sadness was simple. Rachiel asked Kelod.

“I know what you’re trying to say. But the patient we were assigned to. “Did you say no one has yet discovered the cause of paralysis?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“okay? But what should I do? “I understand the cause.”

“…yes?”

Kelod’s eyebrows frown slightly. He looks like he doesn’t believe what he’s saying. Rachiel smiled meaningfully at Kelod.

“I guessed it right away when I heard the Dean explain it.”

“Is that true?”

“of course.”

It’s really obvious.

Numbness in the toes that started with symptoms of enteritis. And paralysis that gradually moves upward from the end of the lower extremities. However, there was even testimony that there was no accident or injury at all.

“The cause of the patient’s lower extremity paralysis is….”

Rachiel said with confidence.
