Episode 86 How to prevent reperfusion damage (4)

Kill your emotions.

Save your senses

The person lying in front of you is not the emperor. Just one patient. Let’s save it first. Just focus on that thought.

Rakiel narrowed his eyes. Your head is cold and your hands are cold. The skills I have learned are not based on thought, but through skilled instinct.

Toot! Too toot! Toot!

A thorn pierced me. The first place he stabbed was the emperor’s Seungeuphyeol (???).

“Oh!”

A surprised sound was heard from the chamberlain. I thought that might be the case. Because the Seungeup acupuncture points are right below the eyes. The edge of the bone that can be felt when tracing the center under the eyelid. Because I stuck a big thorn in there.

‘First of all, we have to control the movement of energy and blood here.’

Among the 12 meridians, the Seungeup acupoint here is the starting acupoint of the Jokyangmyeongwi meridian, also called the Weijokyangmyeongjimaek. In other words, it can be said to be a signboard announcing the beginning of a meridian.

So, we have to take control from here. This is especially true for patients who are more seriously ill. From now on, the flow of energy and blood will be artificially changed. Only when a signal is sent to the originating point does the rest of the meridians become ready. Otherwise, what if you just deliberately touch the most important pulse of a weak patient?

‘There’s an uproar. It’s like waking up and running a 100-meter dash while eating a bowl of ramen and pork belly in one shot. Or, as soon as you start your car in the middle of winter, it would be similar to slamming the accelerator all the way to the red zone and damaging the engine.’

In the end, the entire meridian becomes surprised. The flow of energy and blood in the meridians is excited. Unable to calm down and feel jittery. If so?

‘Neither porridge nor rice works. No matter how well you apply acupuncture, it is of no use. Once the energy and blood are excited, it becomes impossible to artificially control them until they subside naturally over time.’

In other words, the effect of acupuncture, which artificially controls the flow of acupuncture points by stimulating meridians with needles, disappears. For no reason, it becomes a torture where only the patient is stabbed with needles. Rakiel took a deep breath, keeping that in mind.

Slowly and deeply.

Drink five times.

I exhaled five times.

I waited until the entire meridian was ready until the change in qi and blood delivered through the Seungeup acupuncture point spread to the entire foot and yang meridian. Only after that did the actual needlework begin. The acupuncture point he stabbed with the thorn again was the Four White Points, located half a finger below Seungeup Point.

Tot!

Below the eyelids. A place where the raised bone becomes slightly concave. The thorn entered the emperor’s infraorbital foramen two feet deep. Rakiel’s hand didn’t stop there.

Toot! Tot!

Georyohyeol (???) located on the outside of the nasolabial folds. Jichanghyeol (???) located next to the corner of the mouth. Even the Daeyeonghyeol and Hyeopgeohyeol located in the lower jaw. The thorn was inserted into the exact spot as if pointed with a laser pointer. His purpose was only one.

The anterior inferior cerebellar artery is where the blood clot occurred in the emperor’s head.

‘You have to control the blood flow going there.’

Do not allow too much blood flow at once. If that happens, the moment the blood clot dissolves, too much blood will rush into the damaged area where the stroke occurred.

‘Then you win reperfusion damage. Is that all? The blood-brain barrier has already been cut off for a long time and the blood-brain barrier is likely to be severely damaged. What if blood flow suddenly surges there? That place will definitely explode. ‘Like a dam collapsing, cerebral hemorrhage will spread uncontrollably.’

Then it’s over.

The aftereffects will not be a problem. We have reached a stage where we have to worry about sustaining life. Rachiel never wanted to face such a worst situation.

‘So this process must be absolutely thorough.’

Tot! Thodot!

Consciousness is tense.

Gaze leisurely.

Fingertips are precise.

The inferior vascular acupoint at the lower corner of the cheekbone was pierced. He also pierced the douyuhyeol (???) just above the edge of the forehead hairline. Changes were observed with the acupuncture point scanning option.

Thanks to you, it was visible.

Tsuzuzuzu…!

The mana of the stimulated acupoint responded. It shook in response. It created small ripples.

Ripples flowed along the meridians of the Jooyang Ming Wei Sutra. The carotid artery in front of the nape of the neck touched the Inyeonghyeol (???). The ripples that flowed into the bloodstream hit the carotid artery. Interference with blood flow in the carotid artery.

Blood flow slowed somewhat.

The heartbeat was also the same.

‘done.’

Rakiel clenched his fists. The blood flow was seen to have slowed down by about 20%.

‘good. Sir Janetis’ freezing magic is just right. Hypothermia is maintained within a non-dangerous range. Additionally, blood flow was successfully controlled. At this level, there is hope.’

I did enough. It’s worth a try. At this point, is it enough to hope for at least a possibility?

‘I hope so.’

I sincerely prayed. For now, I did everything I could. To prevent reperfusion damage, hypothermia therapy and acupuncture were used, and Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon was administered to dissolve blood clots. The rest had no choice but to place their hopes on fate and the emperor’s vitality.

Like the moments of that day that I just want to forget.

“….”

Rakiel tried to press down the fragments of memories that briefly came to mind. It was from then on. He stayed by the emperor’s side.

From morning to afternoon. Until the sun finally sets and the moon rises. A quiet space where everyone retreats. In it, I looked at the details of the emperor.

Occasionally I did the hour hand. To avoid excessive blood flow. To prevent bedsores from forming on the emperor’s body. Will there be any signs of change? Could something serious happen? With a worried heart. With a nervous feeling. I stayed by his side all day, trying not to miss even a trace of his breathing.

So it rained at midnight. There was thunder and lightning at dawn. I dozed off in the clear dawn light. Then he suddenly shook his head and woke up. He soon looked at the emperor’s details and was relieved. It was a long, silent, arduous war and a struggle to the death.

But Rachiel did not give up. There were times when I was so tired that I felt dazed. I promised myself to hold on just a little longer.

Every time that happens, I suddenly think of the past. I also remembered my father’s face as he lay in the hospital’s intensive care unit. It was like this back then too. He stayed by my side all night. Maybe he will open his eyes. You’ll be smiling as if nothing happened. Then, I will start by asking for pocket money like I always do.

I really hoped that would be possible. I prayed and stayed by his side. But it was no use. In the end, my father couldn’t open his eyes. He looked at me and couldn’t even smile or tell a lame joke.

At first, I was so dazed that no tears came out. It was like that throughout the three days of the awards ceremony. It didn’t feel like reality. Then after I finished putting on my makeup. Was it when I received the box containing my father’s ashes?

The wooden box containing the ashes was warm. I never imagined that would happen. I wasn’t even mentally prepared. Only then did I start crying like a child without realizing it.

“….”

I don’t like that. I don’t want to go through that again. Every time my body felt tired, I felt drowsy and my consciousness began to blur, I made a promise to myself. I repeated it as if whipping a whip.

This time, I ignored the cries full of worry from my five organs and six parts. The dissuasion and concerns of the chamberlain and others were also ignored. I just held on and held on.

The morning finally dawns.

The sun rises again.

Brighten up the noon.

It seeped into the western sky.

The first sign of revival from the emperor was around dawn, when the tail of the eyebrow moon tickled the side of an unfamiliar constellation.

“Hmm….”

Suddenly, an unfamiliar sound reached my ears. Rachiel, who had been dozing off, stopped. At first I thought I heard wrong. But it wasn’t.

“Uh hmm….”

“Huh?”

Rakiel came to his senses. I quickly got up. At that moment he could see.

‘done.’

The world of mana seen through acupoint scanning. The blood clot blocking the emperor’s cerebral blood vessels had disappeared. What about the organization around it? No additional areas of damage were visible. Reperfusion damage was almost prevented.

Does it seem like it proves that? A change came to the emperor’s face. A face twisted with paralyzed muscles. A worn-out expression. The complexion was off. It was returning to its original form.

Gradually, slowly.

On the one hand, for sure.

As if shining a light of hope.

It unfolded step by step.

Like the smile you once had. Like the smile I drew one day. Before I knew it, I was back with a relaxed expression. Soon, I began to open my eyes faintly.

“….”

The emperor suddenly thought.

Where is this place? Why is Jim so weak? It was a question that suddenly occurred to me. But at the same time, I knew the answer. I could vaguely feel what was happening to me. It was thanks to the shabby way of thinking.

It was a truly strange feeling. Dazed consciousness and blurred vision. The world is all hazy. People around me can barely be seen in silhouette. But among them, only one person looked particularly bright.

Before I knew it, the guy was covering the back of my hand with both hands. A boy who grew up weak and seemed like he would collapse at any moment due to the storms of the world. The son who made me worry for the rest of my life.

It was Rachiel.

“….”

It’s you.

You saved my life today.

I knew it the moment I felt his touch and body temperature. The moment I looked into those eyes, I realized it. He said he was in a nightmare until he just opened his eyes.

It was a field of black snow.

I got lost in the snow.

I was at a loss.

I was afraid.

Then there was a moment.

Was there someone standing next to you? He came to me alone, wading through the dark snow. He just silently stayed by my side.

From morning to afternoon. Until the sun sets and the moon rises. Past midnight in the rain. Beyond the thunderous dawn. Even in the clear dawn light. Even under the setting sun. Until finally, the tail of the eyebrow moon tickled the side of an unfamiliar constellation. He stayed by his side.

It was thanks to that.

I couldn’t give up. I was able to escape the snowy field of despair. I finally opened my eyes and arrived at this moment. I finally found out. That someone was Rachiel. He was the eldest son who always gave me worries. That guy held out his hand and pulled me up.

“….”

There was no way to know what method was used. However, I could sense that he had done something.

So it was.

Thank you.

I was sorry.

And I was embarrassed.

I could vaguely feel what you did for this father. So I am surprised and embarrassed. In no time, you have become a much better person than your father thought. But it seems that only this father was unaware of that fact.

That fact is so embarrassing.

I’m sorry.

‘And… thank you.’

I only looked at my son with my wide-open eyes. I gave some strength to the hand I held with my son. Even though it was a very feeble movement, I wanted to convey my feelings like this.

“it’s okay. “Don’t overwork yourself and take a break.”

Rachiel’s soft voice. I felt relieved only after hearing that in my ears. Finally, the emperor felt a drowsy sense of relief. I gradually entered a comfortable sleep.

“Whoa.”

A sigh of relief also flowed from Rachiel’s mouth. At the same time, he quickly let go of the emperor’s hand. On the other hand, I also shook off the slightest goosebumps.

‘…I’m not your son.’

However, his eyes and smile were as if he was looking at the most precious person in the world. So it was. Chicken flesh grew. He smiled painfully.

‘I feel guilty for no reason. By the way… the moist smile of the man lying in the hospital bed. I hate it, I hate it. ‘Ugh.’

It’s likely to come to mind even when you sleep, so don’t think about it. Let us only rejoice in the success of successfully saving the emperor.

Rachiel stood up with a promise. He called the chamberlain in a dry voice. They say you’ve gotten over the hurdle. You need to rest now. He said that and quickly left the place. To be honest, I didn’t want to stay there any longer.

I still have goosebumps and goosebumps. I feel like it will come to mind even when I sleep. No, because the regrets from that day over ten years ago keep coming back to me.

‘….’

If only I had run a little faster that day. If only I had gotten the call a little earlier that day. If only I had arrived a little more on time that day. I wish I could have held my father’s hand before it was too late. I wish I could have seen you off on your last steps.

“…under.”

I can’t take it anymore.

I ran out into the hallway.

I raised my head. I stared at the ceiling for a long time. The more I did it, the more my nose became cold. It was a hallway with a ceiling and walls. Strangely, raindrops were falling.

It was such a strange thing.
