âYou just have to cut out the parts that have been damaged badly and then let the new skin grow.â
âBut wouldnât it get worse again if you did that?â
Fran asked back with a dark complexion.
Until now, it was similar to how other therapists treated it. At first, it got better, but soon it got worse again.
But Raymond told him a simple solution.
âYou should change his posture.â
ââŚâŚwhat?â
âIf you change his lying posture from time to time, you can prevent the wound from
deteriorating.â Fran looked at him with a blank look for a moment. âWell, are you sure?â
âYes, bedsores are a disease caused by pressure on the skin because patients with mobility difficulties continue to lie in one position. So you can prevent it just by changing his lying position.â
ââŚâŚâŚ!â
Raymond thought bitterly as he looked at Fran, who was surprised and shocked. âItâs common sense in medicine, but itâs not here.â
In medicine, bedsores are called âPressure ulcers.â
The solution was as simple as the name, meaning that a patient who was having difficulty changing his posture continued to lie in one position, causing his skin and tissue to be under pressure.
If he can only change his position, this wonât happen.
âWithout knowing this simple knowledge, bedsores became an incurable disease,â Fran asked in astonishment.
âUh, how can such an amazing factâŚâŚ.â
âItâs ancient knowledge.â
Raymond, who was roughly surrounded by an all-around excuse, put a visiting bag containing simple surgical tools on his desk.
Itâs time to treat the patient.
âThen Iâll start the surgery right away.â
âSuâŚâŚ Do you mean alcohol?â
Fran stammered at the first word he heard.
âYes, surgery. Iâll remove the dead tissue, cut out the inflammation, and let clean new flesh sprout out on their own.â
Fran made a surprised face, but soon after he collected his emotions. In a desperate voice, he spoke. âI see. Iâll trust you as the healer, so please treat my father!â
The operation began on the spot.
The servants turned the patient to his side by side.
Then, patient, Francâs father said in a faint voice.
âWell, take care of me, healer.â
It was a voice with a long pain.
Itâs touching.
Raymondâs heart trembled in sympathy.
When he saw his wound, the thought of it being disgusting had faded away.
How hard must it have been for the patient?
Feeling that way, Raymond gently held the patientâs hand.
âIt will be treated well, so donât worry. Iâll mainly remove the dead tissues, so it wonât hurt much.â The warmth was conveyed through their hands held together, and Raymondâs warm heart comforted the patient.
Raymond began the operation. After applying an anesthetic herb to the affected area, he held up a surgical knife.
Fortunately, it was not difficult compared to his previous surgeries.
Moreover, Raymondâs capabilities themselves have risen considerably.
âStatus window.â
Raymond checked his abilities.

Before he knew it, his senses were already up to 18.
âI donât know exactly what level this is, but I could guess one thing.â
âItâs a great level for a novice resident.â
âUse Seojeonâs hand movements!â
[Sense: 18 â 28]
As soon as he used his skills, he moved his hands which could not be considered a novice residentâs skill anymore.
Still, Raymond did not take it too lightly.
He did his best to remove the dead tissues delicately.
âItâs really important how much you put your heart into the patient.â Raymond recalled his knowledge of surgery.
Thatâs the case with all diseases, but bedsores were especially so.
Its progress will change a lot depending on how much more carefully its surgeon disinfected, nursed, and operated it.
Raymond, who is well aware of the fact, did his best to cut out the bad skin and tissues.
The black rotting flesh was cut out, and the yellow pus alongside was removed. Raymond also removed the dull and sore-looking tissues for healthy flesh to grow.
And it was thoroughly disinfected with herbs containing natural antibiotics.
âAre you done?â
As Raymond took off his gloves, Fran asked in a tense voice.
âYes, the primary treatment went well for now.â
ââŚâŚ!â
Fran bowed his head with a delighted face.
âThank you, healer! Thank you very much!â
Raymond waved his hand at the over-appreciation.
âItâs not over yet. We need to treat the bad inflammation even more.â
âIt took a considerable amount of time for the wound to be completely clean and new flesh to rise. Itâs going to take quite a while, given the condition. You have to keep taking care of it until then.â
Then Fran asked with a hesitant look on his face. âThen until thenâŚâŚ.â
Raymond, who had noticed Franâs concern, nodded gladly.
âDonât worry. Iâll take responsibility for the treatment until itâs completely healed.â
Franâs face brightened. âThank you!â
***
Since then, Raymond has treated the patient with all his might.
At least twice a day. The wound was directly examined and disinfected, and if there was a problem, immediate treatment was performed.
Thanks to Raymondâs efforts, the patientâs condition showed a dramatic improvement. The treatment progressed faster than I thought.
Raymond made sure to take good care of him.
There is only one reason. This is because managing the aftermath of the operation of bedsores is difficult and crucial to recovery. They have to keep changing his posture, but it wasnât easy. On the other hand, if they manage it well, it will improve faster than you think.
Fortunately, Fran took care of his father with great care with his servants and was able to work well together with Raymondâs best treatment.
âThank you very much.â
Fran said with tears in his eyes.
Raymond cured a disease that no therapist could cure. If it wasnât for Raymond, he wouldnât have imagined getting him this good.
âPerhaps the wound continued to pester his father until he eventually dies.â
With that thought, Fran couldnât control his gratitude.
âThank you very muchâŚâ
And it wasnât just because he healed his fatherâs wounds that Fran was more grateful to Raymond.
Raymondâs attitude in treatment.
It touched Franâs heart.
âI canât believe thereâs a healer like that.â
Until now, the response of the healers who came to treat his father has been consistent. They would frown and shake their head as if they had seen something disgusting.
Of course, he understands their reaction.
Itâs a disgusting wound just looking at it, and the fact that it smells terrible.
Even Fran, who inherited his blood, is in agony whenever he sees his fatherâs wounds.
But Raymond had none of that and even consoled his sick and distressed father from time to time.
âNo one would know how much consolation were given to them were given Raymondâs warm treatment.
That young man went beyond just by treating his disease and even cured their wounded hearts.
âThank you again from the bottom of my heart for treating my father warmly.â
Raymond looked at him awkwardly as received repeated thanks.
âWell, I didnât do anything great but theyâre so thankful.â
He didnât do anything particularly great, he thought.
He just treated the disease and didnât show any signs of disgust, and sometimes gave comforting words because he was in pain.
If he is a healer, shouldnât he do this basically, no matter how snobbish he is?
âIt was nothing. Iâm glad youâre feeling better.â
Franc was all the more impressed by his awkward remarks.
âHeâs such a great guy, and heâs so humble. Who flattered such a man as an ugly illegitimate child?â
He bowed his head with even more gratitude. âThank you so much!â
Thus, the pressure ulcer completely recovered, and soon the day to check the results of the promotion test was approaching.

ââŚâŚwhat?â
Count Garrinson asked back while not being his usual cool-headedness.
It had to be.
âHe treated the bedsores? What nonsenseâŚâŚ! Did you check it properly?â
The examiner bowed his head in embarrassment.
âHa! Does that make sense? Itâs bedsore. Itâs a bedsore! It is difficult even for B+ healers. But the guy whoâs not even in grade F has cured it? â
The examiner had nothing to say.
You canât say that whatâs cured is untreated.
âIâm sorry, but itâs been treated really cleanly.â
Count Garrinson frowned.
âItâs ridiculous. What happened?â
He is in trouble.
He couldnât stop him from becoming a healer if he really treated the bedsore.
âIâll check for myself.â
âWhat?â
âIâll see it with my own eyes!â
Count Garrinson marched directly to Franâs house, and shut up when he saw the cleanly new flesh.
âHow? How did it become like this?â
It was incredible that he couldnât believe it, but the reality hasnât changed.
âOh, my God. Then should I give him a license as a healer?â Count Garrinson frowned.
Since Raymond had treated a patient with bedsores, there was no justification for failing him.
âIâm doomed.â
He was going to have a hard time figuring out what to say to his cousin, the fourth queen.
But there was something Count Garrinson didnât think about.
That Raymondâs passing isnât the problem now.
There was a more difficult problem waiting for him that could not be compared to deciding whether to pass Raymond or not.
Rank determination.
Class B+ healers also had to determine Raymondâs grade, who solved bedsores that were difficult to treat.
***
âI do not know how to go about this.â
âI know.â
All the examiners of the healing tower looked at each other in great difficulty.
They had to.
His heal is not even grade F, but even a B+ grade healer canât treat bedsores. It is difficult to treat. In this case, what grade should we put him?â
âWeâre facing a situation thatâs never happened in history!â
The examiners were puzzled and argued.
âBut since he treated diseases in the B+ category, shouldnât we give them a B+ grade? Or grade A even?â
âThatâs ridiculous. How can you give a B+ grade to a healer with a grade F or lower heal?â
âBut we canât give him an F grade, can we?â
Everyone didnât know what to do.
Then, a low sinking voice split the conference hall.
âGrade D is appropriate.â
âCount Garrison?â
âAncient occultation has cured some difficult diseases, but he doesnât have the ability comparable to grade A. I do not think it is appropriate. So I think grade D is appropriate with little extra points is enough for him.â
The examiners looked at Count Garrinsonâs face.
However, they all thought grade D was too low.
âIs there anyone who disagrees?â
ââŚâŚâ
But the examiners couldnât say anything.
âIf you disagree here, youâll be out of Count Garrinsonâs sight. Then your healing tower life was over.â
âOh, no.â
âI think grade D is appropriate!â
âYour judgment is correct!â
The examiners, who were wary of each other, nodded their heads in a hurry.
Count Garrinson frowned.
Of course, he knew it was ridiculous to give Raymond a grade D.
But he couldnât help it.
At least this much will be the proof that he stands with the 4th Queen.
âI didnât fail, but Iâve cut his grade significantly, so the 4th Queen will still be satisfied.
âItâs no use protesting.â
It was the inherent authority of the healing tower to grade the healers after all.
Even if Raymond protested, Count Garrinson vowed never to change his grade.
***
But Count Garrinsonâs plot met a large reef.
There were as many as two people.
Count August and Princess Sophia!
The two came to him one after another.
Upon hearing the news of Raymondâs rating decision.
