Chapter 704: Oath

However, at this moment.

The prison doctor, who had not moved for a long time, slowly raised his foot and stepped on the bluestone staircase in front of him.

This sudden change made the three doctors who were watching hold their breath.

The three stared at the direction of the prison doctor.

However, after taking one step, the prison doctor did not take the second step.

What the doctor and others did not know was that at this moment, fragments of memory kept flashing in the prison doctor's brain.

As he stepped on the stairs, the lost memory returned to his brain.

In his sight, the first half of the stairs became dilapidated.

There were dried black bloodstains everywhere.

The pungent smell of decay penetrated his nose.

Right in front of him, on the second staircase.

A man wrapped in a linen sheet was looking at him with desperate eyes.

The man slowly lifted the dirty sheet, revealing the skinny but still rotten body inside.

A rat crawled out of his belly.

Compared to the skinny body of the man.

This mouse seemed to be very fat.

This can be seen from the shiny fur on the mouse.

After the mouse got out of the man's belly, it climbed up directly along the prison doctor's foot on the steps.

As the mouse came out, it was as if some kind of switch was turned on.

A large number of mice got out of the man's abdominal cavity.

"Sir... do you really want to keep going?"

"If you keep going, you will definitely be infected with the plague."

"They will eat up your internal organs, your skin will fester, your flesh will rot, and then you will lie on the side of the road like a dead dog like me."

At this moment, the prison doctor seemed to have returned to the time when he was still a human.

He carried a kerosene lamp and walked on the streets of the town where the "plague" was rampant.

The roadside was full of patients like this guy.

Their eyes were either numb or desperate.

On the eaves of the houses on both sides of the street stood a group of carrion crows.

There are still a lot of vultures circling in the sky.

They will have a feast after these patients die.

The stairs are full of rotten tissues with a fishy smell.

It doesn't matter which part of the human body it is.

The prison doctor looked at the skinny patient lying on the ground.

After a moment, he slowly squatted down and said to him in a calm tone: "I am a doctor, is there anything I can do for you?"

Hearing the words of the prison doctor, the man shook his head gently and said: "You can't cure me, you should leave here quickly."

"Otherwise you will be infected, and you will eventually become like me."

"And I'm just a civilian, I don't have money to pay for your medical expenses."

Hearing this, the prison doctor shook his head gently and responded: "How do you know if you don't try?"

It seems that the words of the prison doctor touched the other party.

The man struggled to support his upper body with his arms that looked like sticks.

"Do you really want to keep going?"

"You will die!"

Hearing this, the prison doctor nodded calmly and said: "I am a doctor."

At this moment, the man smiled.

His body slowly disappeared like a bubble.

An old kerosene lamp and a cane appeared where he disappeared.

The rats that were clinging to the prison doctor also disappeared.

The prison doctor picked up the kerosene lamp.

The flame in the lamp jumped wildly, emitting a dim light.

The light tried hard to dispel the darkness around.

The prison doctor held the kerosene lamp in one hand and stood up with the help of the cane in the other hand.

He looked at the stairs that stretched upward.

Without any hesitation, he took another step.

As he took the second step, he felt that his breathing became difficult.

The skin under the black windbreaker began to ulcerate.

His body temperature was rising rapidly, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.

Just as the patient said before, if he continued to move forward, he would end up like that patient.

But the prison doctor did not hesitate. He supported his somewhat weak body with a cane and walked forward step by step.

I swear with sincerity in front of God and the congregation:

Spring Festival for life, loyal to duty.

Do not do anything harmful,

Do not take or deliberately use harmful medicine.

One oath after another came out of his mouth.

These oaths seemed to have magical power, constantly driving his shaky body.

"Give up, you can't save it!"

One after another whispered in the ears of the prison doctor.

"Give up, you will be infected!"

"You will die..."

The prison doctor did not respond, but continued in a firm tone:

Try your best to improve the standard of care,

Keep the patient's housework and secrets.

As the oath came out, huge pressure came to him from all directions.

The cane supporting his body squeaked, as if it might break at any time.

Even the kerosene lamp seemed to be extinguished at any time.

The light gradually dimmed.

The prison doctor took another step, and at the same time, the sonorous oath sounded.

Assist the doctor with diagnosis and treatment wholeheartedly,

Serve the welfare of a certain patient.

At this moment, the pressure on him was even heavier.

It was as if all the patients in the world were pressing down on him at the same time.

Moans, cries, and shouts of pain came one after another.

The cane was bent to an exaggerated angle at this moment, as if it could not bear the weight of the prison doctor's body and might break at any time.

"I swear with all my heart!"

"I swear before God and the congregation!"

At this moment, shouts rang in the prison doctor's ears.

The prison doctor slowly raised his head.

There were countless people standing on the stairs in front of him.

They were either wearing white coats or linen robes.

They shouted their oaths and moved forward step by step.

I swear with all my heart,

before God and the congregation;

to be pure for life and loyal to my duties.

Do not do anything harmful,

do not take or deliberately use harmful drugs.

Try to improve the standard of nursing,

and be careful to keep the patient's housework and secrets.

Assist the doctor with all your heart in diagnosis and treatment,

and strive for the welfare of the patient.

Swear!

At this moment, a light burst out from the kerosene lamp in the prison doctor's hand.

The light was no longer dim.

It is so dazzling, so eye-catching.

It easily tears apart the darkness.

It easily dispels the filth.

At the same time, people with resolute faces appeared on both sides of the stairs.

They are men and women, doctors and nurses.

The prison doctor remembers them.

They are medical workers who were transformed into bird-beak doctors by him in Kyoto.

I volunteer to devote myself to the cause of human health!

Consciously safeguard the dignity and sanctity of medicine!

Respect life, save the dying and the wounded, be equal and benevolent, respect teachers and respect the way!

Be honest and trustworthy, abide by medical ethics, strive for excellence, think carefully and practice!

The above oaths come from the heart and are put into practice!

They shouted out, with a firm tone and a solemn look.
