20 – Evaluation of the Clinic – Pass? Fail?
Representative Mongoose of the evaluation team watched Kim Chul-soo’s treatment with fascination.
Peter, a resident of Roland Viscount Village and a lumberjack, was facing Kim Chul-soo, complaining of pain.
“Oh my… I fell today and hit a rock. I have bruises, and even though I tried to endure it, it keeps hurting, so I came to Chul-soo’s clinic.”
“I’ll check your condition. Fortunately, there are no wounds, Malboi brothers! Bring a clean cloth and cold water. Catherine, check the pulse, breathing, and body temperature.”
“Got it!”
“Got it!”
The patient had bruises.
Fortunately, there were no infected areas.
As long as the swelling was not severe, proper management would suffice.
Kim Chul-soo assigned tasks to Malboi and Catherine, and placed a cold cloth on the bruised area.
“Oh, it’s cold! Hmm..!”
“Does the pain feel better?”
“Yeah.. much better.”
“Kim Chul-soo, pulse 87, breathing 16. Body temperature is normal.”
“Thank you. Catherine, the vital signs are normal… Peter? You fell today and hit a rock. That’s why you have internal bleeding. Don’t worry, it will heal naturally over time. If the pain persists or you want to recover quickly, apply cold compress. As the pain improves, you can apply a cold cloth tightly on the bruise.”
“Do I continue with the cold compress?”
“After one day, switch to warm compress.”
“After one day, should I use a warm cloth?”
“Yes. The method to get rid of bruises is to improve blood circulation. Warm compress helps with blood circulation.”
“Oh… Thank you so much. I was already suffering from the pain… Chul-soo, how can I bring firewood for you?”
“Oh, it’s okay. I just hope you get better, Peter.”
“But I feel bad going empty-handed…”
“Just take good care of yourself.”
Kim Chul-soo, who only wished for the patient’s health!
Even the two priests of the evaluation team, who had negative opinions, were silently watching Kim Chul-soo’s treatment.
Kim Chul-soo’s treatment did not rely on divine power.
He used different treatment methods depending on the disease.
He kindly explained to the patients why they got sick.
To prevent the patients from getting sick again.
The priests of the evaluation team, who had the concept of “eliminating diseases with divine power when patients appear,” found his approach unfamiliar but amazing.
Mongoose subtly gestured at the other two priests with a meaningful glance.
As if to say, “Are you still going to oppose me?”
“There’s no rule that says healers must possess strong divine power. Can you treat patients better than the Kim brothers? Including preventive care?”
“Um…”
“Mm…”
The two priests on the evaluation panel looked down and sighed.
“I’ve learned something.”
Through Kim Cheol-su, Mongoose had gained enlightenment.
Divine power alone wasn’t necessary to treat patients.
Treating patients was possible through cold compresses and disease management alone.
“And that’s not all.”
Kim Cheol-su was guiding patients towards becoming healthier.
It wasn’t simply about curing the illness and being done with it.
It was about helping the patient become healthy after recovering from the illness.
It was the behavior of a thoughtful healer.
“We’ll let it go.”
“Cough!”
“We have no choice.”
The evaluation panel’s opinion had changed to a positive one!
Kim Cheol-su’s efficient and dedicated efforts had moved the hearts of the evaluation panel.
At the forefront of this was Mongoose, the representative of the evaluation panel, who couldn’t deny it.
Mongoose made a commitment to support Kim Cheol-su in the future.
“A talented healer like this must continue practicing medicine. Moreover, isn’t it a free clinic? Even our Urkyo Hospital demands a large donation as a treatment fee. The Kim brothers provide their services free of charge. It’s a moment that shows how virtuous they are.”
Mongoose stood up from his seat with a satisfied expression, alongside the priests from the evaluation panel.
There was no need to see any more of the evaluation!
Unaware of this, when Kim Cheol-su tried to leave without saying anything, he was surprised and grabbed the evaluation panel.
“Oh, the treatment isn’t over yet.”
“It’s fine. I’ve seen enough.”
“Is that so…”
Should I slip them some money under the table? Of course, it’s just a joke.
Kim Cheol-su broke out in a cold sweat.
It seemed he hadn’t shown his full ability during the treatment.
Nevertheless, the bright faces of the priests from the evaluation panel didn’t give off a bad feeling.
* * * *
The evaluation panel of Kim Cheol-su’s clinic returned to the main headquarters of the Urkyo sect, the Saint Casidia Cathedral!
Archbishop Amori and Archbishop Christopher, who had been waiting for the news, rushed over anxiously.
After all, people naturally want to win even in small bets.
Archbishop Amori, who said the Kim Cheol-su clinic should be approved.
Archbishop Christopher, who said the Kim Cheol-su clinic should be closed.
The two opposing archbishops silently wished for their own opinions to be correct!
This goes beyond Kim Cheol-su’s personal problem; it is already a battle of pride among the bishops.
“Seeing that it’s a good day today, it seems like a perfect day to run the clinic.”
“Hmph! Where is such a day? As soon as my evaluation team declares ‘fail,’ the clinic will be closed immediately.”
“Ah, you’re such a stubborn person.”
“Amori Bishop is too soft. Who knows when and where heresy will arise!”
Amori Bishop slightly raised her head.
Christopher, a severe heresy suspect, has been like this for over 30 years and won’t change.
It’s just a pain to talk about it.
Eventually, the bishops met the evaluation team, and it was Amori Bishop who ended up laughing.
The representative of the evaluation team, Monggu, bowed his head and declared the clinic’s evaluation as “pass”!
“The overall evaluation score is 4.5 out of 5. The Kim Cheol-su brothers, famous for their Kims Chalsu, were truly excellent therapists.”
There was a 0.5-point deduction because the level of sacred power was a bit disappointing, but everything else was perfect!
Christopher Bishop, who desperately wished for Kim Cheol-su’s failure, turned red with anger.
His words were wrong!
Amori Bishop chuckled ominously and gently scratched Christopher Bishop.
“Oh~ It’s a perfect day to run the clinic.”
“Ugh..!”
“Surely, Archbishop Christopher Cross won’t cause any trouble, right? Hm? We are bishops, after all.”
Christopher Bishop trembled.
Of all people, he lost to the cunning Amori Bishop!
Christopher Bishop considered Amori Bishop as a lifelong enemy and rival.
“Ugh.. Do you really mean that Kim Cheol-su has no heresy charges?”
“I vouch for it with my name.”
Monggu, the representative of the evaluation team, put his name on the line to dispel Christopher Bishop’s last doubt!
It could have seemed risky, but Monggu trusted his own eyes.
‘I believe in the attitude of Kim Cheol-su brothers towards patients and their dedication.’
A great therapist should continue to treat patients, making the world a better place.
In the face of Monggu’s firm stance, Christopher Bishop finally raised his white flag.
Monggu’s guarantee, known for its objectivity and integrity within the Urkyo, is undeniable.
There’s no more room for rebellion!
“Mmm!”
Christopher Bishop groaned and retreated from his seat.
Amori Bishop was so satisfied.
“Oh~ It makes me want to dance.”
Excitedly, Amori Bishop expressed her joy by shaking both shoulders.
A celebration of victory.
* * * *
“Pass!”
The letter from the main sect stated that the clinic evaluation was a pass.
Additionally, it was attached with “Sacred power is somewhat lacking, need for training,” so accepting feedback immediately with a heavy heart is a load of crap!
Training starts tomorrow.
Today is a festival!
We have overcome the crisis of the closure of Kim Chul-soo Clinic!
I was very happy.
“Today is a festival to celebrate passing the evaluation! Bring meat. Meat! I will eat so much meat that I’ll twist my stomach!”
Celebration party for Kim Chul-soo’s free clinic in honor of passing the evaluation.
We’ve worked hard for a week, so we should have a celebration party!
I haven’t been able to drink alcohol because I’m still on my weekly training, but instead of alcohol, I greased my stomach with pork fat.
I borrowed a large grill and meat from the kitchen in Yeongju Castle and inhaled pork until the smell of meat filled my mouth!
“Congratulations, Kim Chul-soo!”
“I’m happy to pass, but I want to go back to the temple… I don’t know when the world will end.”
Miss Catherine and Mr. Malboi also enjoyed the festival to the fullest.
‘Yum yum! I’m happy!’
The fact that I passed the evaluation was very exciting because I worked hard for a week.
Will it be quiet for a while now?
The next day.
I shared the joy of passing with my neighbors.
I wanted to prepare a gift set for Lord Roland, Miss Emma, and the maids, as I received a lot from them, but there was no seaweed in the Middle Ages.
Come to think of it, seaweed was mainly produced in Korea, Japan, and China, right?
‘Oh no, the gift is seaweed.’
Why, don’t we always have seaweed gift sets from relatives or companies during holidays?
When I expect spam and open the packaging, it’s a seaweed gift set, so the seaweed is fresh, but I can’t complain.
That’s the best cost-effective gift, seaweed.
Put a piece of crispy seaweed on a hot bowl of rice and put it in your mouth. There’s no need for other side dishes, and the rice thief is gone!
‘If there’s none, there’s nothing I can do.’
I decided to give herbal medicine from the clinic as a gift, while refreshing my taste buds.
But just giving a gift seemed insincere, so I put pretty flowers and herbs in a suitable box, making it look more luxurious.
“Great, Kim Chul-soo’s herbal medicine gift set is complete!”
A gift set for the body made up of bellflower, deodeok, and ginseng!
This should satisfy the recipients.
I handed out gift sets to Lord Roland, Miss Emma, and the maids!
“Wow, it’s good for the body?”
“Yes, Lord Roland. You can eat it boiled or steamed. Enjoy it to your liking!”
“Haha! I understand, I’ll eat it well.”
Lord Roland seemed satisfied.
“…This is the first gift Kim Chul-soo has given me.”
“Haha… I was too indifferent to Miss Emma, wasn’t I?”
“No, I’m grateful.”

Miss Emma held my herbal medicine set tightly and smiled gently.
I hope she liked it… It seemed like the first time I saw Miss Emma smile.
Emma was different from the usually blunt person.
Anyway, her other maids were satisfied too.
