Congressman, Live Again - Episode 253
Episode 253
“hmm… … Sometimes, you suddenly can't hear sound in one ear, and lately, you've been getting a lot of dizziness, right? And one more symptom was added. facial paralysis.”
It is said that he started leaking water every time he drank water..
The patient's name is Han Yi-jeong..
Unusually, he came with his younger sister, Han So-jeong..
Han Yi-jeong had straight facial features and even though she was a patient, her eyes were full of gunfire..
However, his eyes were red and he looked like he had been crying somewhere..
And that continued until just now.
‘……It's better to pretend you don't know.’
It's an adult's consideration..
Although he was born into a family of government officials, he had mastered basic martial arts and had a well-balanced body..
At the same time, I must have used the brush often, so there were traces of ink left under my fingernails..
Jin Cheon-hee spoke as dryly as possible and quickly wrote down the symptoms..
After asking a few more questions, it was time to take the pulse in earnest..
At that time, Han Yi-jeong said.
“From now on, I plan to do the pulse alone. Could you please step aside for a moment??”
It could be said that he spoke in a very harsh manner, considering he was speaking to his younger brother..
Her younger brother, Han So-jung, accepted those words without any surprise..
“All right. I'll be out, so please call me anytime if anything happens..”
Even though they are biological sisters, they seem to treat each other with respect..
‘The atmosphere is different from the Gongsong family..’
My older sister, Han Yi-jeong, nodded..
Although his tone of voice seemed distant, his younger brother's concern was conveyed to Jin Cheon-hee as well..
She goes out and the door swings shut..
Now only Han Yi-jeong and Jin Cheon-hee are left in the vein room..
“First of all, I would like to take a pulse. hand…….”
“sorry. I hope you don't have a pulse..”
I have no idea what you mean..
“Are you saying you don't want to get treatment??”
“I said the same thing to each side of the shipper... … I like it like this.”
“Then, I will send a message to the Admiral..”
“That doesn't work either……!”
In a hurry, Han Yi-jeong caught Jin Cheon-hee..
At that moment, did facial paralysis occur?.
As soon as my voice leaks, I fall sideways from dizziness..
I urgently grabbed her arm as she was about to fall..
widely-
It's embarrassing like this.
“So are you telling me to lie to the Admiral?.”
If so, I was going to refuse..
I don't know what the world is like above the imperial palace, and I don't want to have anything to do with it..
Isn’t it the center of power?.
Jin Cheon-hee also has no intention of forcing treatment on patients if they do not want to..
However, in this case, it was right to speak properly, so there would be no regrets..
Han Yi-jeong looks embarrassed at those words..
“Only when I get sick does my younger brother have a chance..”
“If it's a chance……?”
“The person who should be promoted to public office is not me, but Sojung..”
Here’s a little bit of common sense.
Unlike the history of Earth, this world is a world where superpowers and martial arts exist..
There are some parts that are similar to Earth, but there are also many parts that are different from the actual history of humanity..
In particular, one of them is that, unlike human history on Earth, in this world, many women have entered government positions..
In the first place, the first founding emperor of the nation was a woman, in this bloody battle for the throne, in which men, women and children, regardless of age or gender, stabbed each other with bamboo spears in hand, thanks to the blood of the Fuxi clan..
As a result, it was natural for anyone, regardless of gender, to work as long as they had the ability..
In addition, although women are said to be weaker in terms of basic physical strength, in the end, if they learn martial arts, both men and women can surpass humans..
There are no people of all ages in Kalbang..
‘Right now, Heavenly Demon is also a woman..’
No one finds it strange about that..
As the granddaughter of the Emperor of the Empire, she has the background and talent to become one of the next six ministers..
And it could be said that he had all of those abilities..
However, as hearing loss began recently, dizziness, and facial muscle paralysis occurred, treatment became necessary..
Hwaju-gak was the first to reach out with a smile, but she rejected it..
It is said that Admiral Tae-gam heard it through Hwaju-gak, or guessed it differently, and sent her to Baekrin-ui-gak this time..
‘Ha, I don't know what to do.' When I looked at her with eyes that said, she sighed too..
“Because my grandfather wants it. I didn't come of my own will..”
“I feel like sparks are flying.”
Han Yi-jeong shook her head at those words..
“That can't be true. Aren’t you His Majesty’s favorite lawmaker? I also heard people praise me in public, calling me a talented person. My grandfather, who values your Majesty more than us, would not and cannot possibly blame Baekrin Uigak..”
‘And he even praised me in public.?’
Of course, I understand that you are happy that your colon cancer has been cured. Who knew you could talk like that?.
Han Yi-jeong pressed her cheek as if she was experiencing facial paralysis again..
“Cheeks... Should I say it’s numb… … Facial paralysis is a recent symptom, but hearing loss in one ear has been common since childhood. So it's not a big deal.”
“Still, your pronunciation is quite accurate..”
“To that extent... I've been practicing since I was a child..”
Just as the children of a samurai family are taught to pray from the time they are toddlers, the children of a powerful family also seem to receive their own education from the time they are born..
“Anyway, I don't think Grandpa needs to worry. This is a promise that will put me and my family on the line..”
Anyway, does this mean that you will take care of the rest without causing trouble?.
However, Jin Cheon-hee calmly refuted it..
“But I don't think you should go back..”
“Why??”
“I held on to him when he fell and looked at him a little bit. if… … What would you do if you were terminally ill??”
“yes?”
Han Yi-jeong’s eyes widen..
“Trust me and extend your arms just a little bit…….”
No one can keep their composure when a doctor says it could be a fatal disease..
In particular, the opponent is a person of talent whom His Majesty highly praises and someone who will soon be known as God..
Han Yi-jeong, who hesitated, gives her wrist..
“Don't move and take a slow breath... … Please exhale.”
Jin Cheon-hee held her wrist for a long time and was exhausted..
“…….”
It seemed like quite a long time had passed.
Jin Cheon-hee did not stop here, but placed his hand on the back of her neck and took the pulse several more times..
After a long time like that. Jin Cheon-hee, who let go of her hand, frowned for a long time and then opened her mouth with difficulty..
“I'm sorry, but I don't think you should go back like this..”
* * *
Immediately after completing the pulse.
Jin Cheon-hee immediately summoned the head of the Chimgu family, one of the four major heads of the family, and the members of the Bu-sul council under his command..
It was a moment before everyone rushed in panic at the urgent summons..
As soon as everyone was seated, Master opened the door and came in..
“The pulse results look bad..”
“yes.”
Jin Cheon-hee immediately pushes the medical books in front of everyone..
Grumbling-
“You may have already studied, but you don't have time to bring a book..”
Zhugelin took his place..
Sima Byeong, head of the acupuncture house, frowned..
“Why did you call an emergency so quickly? Incinerator Lord.”
“I know the bedding room is busy right now. But I couldn't solve it alone, so I brought it to you like this..”
After saying that, Jin Cheon-hee quickly flipped through the book and stopped at the desired chapter..
It was written there like this.
[brain tumor]
There was only one reason why I stopped on that side. Sima Bing asked.
“no way……?”
“yes. The patient has a brain tumor. It's volume 12, page 11..”
Calm voice. But there is no doubt that it is a fatal disease..
One of the council members asked cautiously:.
“Can you fix it??”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words..
“If you don't fix it, you'll die. To be exact, an inner ear canal tumor. I can diagnose it as acoustic neuroma..”
Also called vestibular schwannoma.
There are various neural circuits in the cochlea and internal auditory canal in our ears..
There are the auditory nerve that hears, the facial nerve that moves the facial muscles, and the vestibular nerve that senses and controls body shaking. Among these, the membrane surrounding the internal auditory canal grows into a tumor and puts pressure on other nerves..
Usually 95% of tumors are benign..
Malignant cases are rare.
Considering the sex ratio, it is a disease that occurs most often in women and in those in their 30s to 60s..
At first glance, if it's positive, wouldn't it be okay... … Some people think.
But the problem is that benign tumors also grow slowly but steadily..
Just thinking about it mathematically, if the size is 1, the volume is also 1..
However, the moment the size becomes 2, the volume becomes 8 because it is 2 cubed..
8begins to press on other nerves with a volume of.
When the size of the tumor exceeds 2 cm, 3 cm, or 4 cm, it begins to press on the brain, and its location is the midbrain..
‘It is responsible for breathing and pulse. It is essential for sustaining life..’
Right now, I sometimes feel dizzy and staggered, but if I grow out of this, walking will become impossible and my brain pressure will increase..
Ultimately, the patient dies..
Considering the current location and size of the tumor, surgery is highly recommended..
‘I'm young too.’
If the patient is elderly, management through radiation therapy is given priority from then on..
This is because there is not much life left due to old age, and the act of opening the head itself is burdensome..
But I am old enough to survive surgery..
In addition, compared to other brain tumor surgeries (although vestibular neuroma is a serious disease), the prognosis is relatively good..
There are several related surgical methods..
There is no conclusion as to which surgical method is better as it depends on the size and location of the tumor and hearing condition..
There is just a method that suits the patient..
‘The surgical method I would recommend is the retrosigmoid approach.)’
It is closer to neurosurgery than otolaryngology..
Jin Cheon-hee thought that the method of opening and removing the skull was the most appropriate method considering the patient's current age, although it was a burden on the patient..
In particular, the biggest reason for wanting to perform this surgery was because the location and size of the tumor were suitable for this surgery..
Additionally, this method had the highest chance of preserving hearing compared to other surgeries..
One of the senators raised his hand..
“How about going as far back as possible through the ear canal? If you do this, there will be no need to open your head. Wouldn’t the burden on patients be reduced??”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded at those words..
“That's a good question, but if you approach it that way, you're likely to damage your auditory nerve and not preserve your hearing..”
“okay. It would be better to cause as little damage as possible.…….”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded at those words..
The council members raised by Jin Cheon-hee began to express their own opinions..
“The skull is divided into several pieces, right? How about drilling a hole in the smallest piece that is closest to the tumor? Wouldn't it be less stressful than opening the skull entirely??”
The translabyrinthine apporach is a similar method..
This is a common surgical method in modern otolaryngology, where a tumor in the skull is removed by entering through the bone behind the ear (mastoid process)..
Select when the patient has almost no hearing left..
This method permanently deprived the patient's ears of sound, but preserved the facial muscles..
“That was also considered. but…….”
The discussion continued.
