Personality V: I will save everything

Chapter 513 Red

"Lydia, I have something very, extremely important to tell you... What on earth are you doing?" Cogen stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open, and was speechless for a moment.

That’s right, look at this mess!

Frederick was tied up by Lydia and Naib and thrown into a corner. On the other side, Lucchino was struggling to hang the forward and Norton. It looked funny and weird.

What’s even more outrageous is that there was a group of people watching around, pointing and talking, with expressions of surprise, curiosity, or gloating on their faces.

Kogan couldn't help but gasp and thought to himself: "What a weird picture this is!" But he quickly came to his senses, because he knew that the purpose of his trip was crucial.

It turns out that Lydia has never returned since she accidentally traveled to this strange world.

Due to her superb medical skills, there was an endless stream of people coming to see her for treatment, almost breaking down the door of her clinic.

But the problem is, Lydia isn't there.

These anxious patients asked around for Lydia's whereabouts, and some even went to Cogan.

Cogan was able to cope at first, but as time went on, she felt the pressure grow.

If the current situation continues to develop, maybe one day those crazy people will really go to the streets to post missing person notices!

Thinking of this, Cogan was extremely anxious and rushed over without even having time to change his judge's uniform.

Why would those patients rather endure the pain than seek help from other doctors?

The reasons are complicated, but the first and foremost point is that the last Charles Messmer incident left an indelible shadow on many poor people.

Since then, many poor people have been deterred from seeing doctors even when they are seriously ill.

Not only that, even if they sell everything they have and spend all their property, they may not be able to pay the high medical expenses.

However, the situation was completely different for Lydia.

First of all, she is well-known for her superb medical skills, and has won the trust and respect of everyone with her good reputation.

What is more worth mentioning is that she was once awarded the Royal Medal of Medicine, which symbolizes the highest honor, which is undoubtedly the best proof of her outstanding medical skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that her medical skills have been widely recognized and praised throughout England.

In addition, compared with other doctors, Lydia's fees are affordable.

When faced with patients who are truly poor and cannot afford even basic medical expenses, the kind-hearted woman will even provide free treatment services to these poor people without charging a penny.

Imagine a man who has been awarded the Royal Medal of Medicine, a symbol of supreme honor, and has the opportunity to enter the Royal Medical Team directly.

But what is unexpected is that he resolutely gave up this brilliant future.

Instead, he chose to stay in a remote and inconspicuous small town, and devote himself to providing medical treatment to those who lived in poverty and suffered from illness.

How could such a man be compared with the likes of Charles Messmer?

What is more worth mentioning is that this doctor named Lydia is not only a woman, but also the first female doctor who set a precedent in history!

You have to know that in that era, women practicing medicine faced numerous difficulties and prejudices, and if she wanted to obtain that extremely precious medical medal, she would have to work twice or even several times harder than others.

However, even in such a difficult situation, she still sticks to her original intention, never forgets her sacred mission as a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded, and does her best to relieve the suffering of patients.

Such noble character is truly rare and admirable!

Therefore, in many poor circles, almost everyone calls Lydia the Angel of Light.

An angel clothed in holy light.

.................................................. ........................

But then again, if there were just a bunch of patients who needed treatment, there would not be any need for Cogan to rush over, because Lydia had already made arrangements before coming, although it was a bit unfair to Jose Badem.

That’s right, Jose Baden is a nobleman and has countless amounts of money, so Lydia asked Jose Baden if he could use his power and money to help her call a few doctors?

To be honest, at the beginning, when those high-ranking doctors were asked to treat some dirty poor people, hundreds of them were unwilling to do so.

But until Lydia showed up, they felt a little relieved. One of the younger ones even shook Lydia's hand excitedly.

"Oh, Dr. Jones, I really admire you so much! Oh, my God! I never thought I could see you in person! The first female doctor in history, and also the first female doctor to receive the Royal Medal of Medicine! Oh, my God, I really admire you so much, you are so amazing!"

If you can't understand why this young doctor was so excited, let's just say that at that time, the Royal Medal of Medicine meant the top of the pyramid of the medical community in England.

Lydia successfully climbed up as the youngest and first female.

.................................................. ........................

Speaking of which, there was a small episode at that time. Another doctor who looked like a middle-aged man asked a question. Although he did not ask the question with malicious intent, he seemed to have forgotten or overlooked that there was malice in his words.

"Why did you wear red at the ceremony? No offense, I just thought you should wear white like us, after all, red is... too weird."

Not only that, more importantly, newspapers at the time were basically black and white. It was not because of lack of technology, but because it would be a waste of money to print in color. A colored newspaper would not make them much money.

But José Badem even paid every newspaper to dye Lydia's skirt red in their newspapers.

This shocked the newspapers at the time because... they had received money from the nobles and colored their photos in the newspapers in order to highlight the gorgeous costumes they wore at the time.

When they originally received the money, they thought that Jose Ho Baden was the same, but they never expected that the person who needed them to dye was Lydia.

It was also because of this that everyone in England knew that Lydia actually wore red clothes at the awarding ceremony.

It’s not that it’s not allowed, it’s just...it’s weird that she did that, isn’t it?

First of all,

Speaking of doctors,

What's the first color that comes to mind?

Of course it’s white.

Secondly,

Although red is not exclusive to men, when worn by women it usually shows their elegance and luxury.

But the red that Lydia was wearing at the time was not like this. It was a flamboyant, bright red, which is what really made people feel strange.

Just like the red on women, they can be luxurious or elegant, dark or light.

Or even if women want to wear red, they will not wear bright red. They may tone down the red to dark brown, rose red, or even lighten it to pink or light red.

But Lydia is that flamboyant and bright red.

Rather than saying it is unique, it is better to say that it has never been seen before.

It is precisely because of this that people feel strange and want to ask.

But the middle-aged doctor seemed to have forgotten, or maybe he had always been like this since he was a child, and he never noticed that there was a kind of discrimination in his words.

So Lydia also "fought back" him very well.

"So what do you think I should be like? Sensible? Low-key? Virtuous? Gentle? Obedient?

What on earth makes you think that I must wear white?! Have you ever thought about this question?!

Have you never realized that you always judge all women by the same measure as you judge your significant other?

But we women don’t want to be scrutinized by you, nor do we want to be your wives. You see clearly, I will only be your boss.

Who says I have to be white?

That was my investiture ceremony, my pride, why can’t I wear red?!”

When Lydia said these words, she even took out a red lipstick from her pocket provocatively.

Lydia likes red, but she is a doctor and she can't wear red or put on lipstick.

If possible, who doesn’t want to be beautiful?

But that was her duty, her job, her responsibility, and for those poor patients, Lydia was willing to compromise.

But that was just a voluntary concession. Lydia's kindness was not a reason for others to take advantage of her.

Lydia put on lipstick in front of the doctor in a provocative manner, just like the bright red dress she wore at the award ceremony.

If someone thinks that Lydia is making up stories and making trouble for no reason, then I just want to ask you, do you think that if Lydia puts on a red dress, she will no longer be Lydia? Will her medical skills decline?

So why did the doctor ask this question? In the final analysis, it was just jealousy.

Lydia was younger and better than him, and had won the Royal Medal of Medicine. He, who had always been superior to him, panicked. The only things he could attack about Lydia were her gender and the way she dressed.

Maybe you will say again, didn't this middle-aged doctor say that he had no ill intentions? This is the most terrifying thing, because he didn't even realize his own malicious intentions.

You can imagine how common this kind of thing is, as common as breathing.

But unfortunately, Lydia would not give him the chance to attack her, or rather, his attack was like air to Lydia.

"Sir, I am really sorry. This is just how I am. I am smarter than you, better than you, and have received higher honors than you. You may never be better than me in your entire life. And I will always stand out from the crowd. I will always be the most flamboyant red among you bunch of self-righteous white people."

Lydia even pressed the entire tube of lipstick in her hand onto the doctor. Just as Lydia said, there was a touch of eye-catching red in the white, not much, but it went straight to the heart.

What was the doctor's attack on Lydia? Only her gender and her clothes, but to Lydia, this was the best compliment.

The middle-aged doctor seemed to have touched something dirty and quickly took off his white doctor's coat. When Lydia saw the black clothes he was wearing underneath, she couldn't help but sneer.

.................................................. ........................

The middle-aged doctor was so angry at Lydia that he left. When he left, he even cursed, "What on earth were the people at the Royal College of Physicians thinking? They actually gave the medal to a woman like this."

It’s a pity that this person only dared to do it secretly, but Lydia stood there and shouted loudly, “I’m so sorry, they did give the medal to a woman like me!”

.................................................. ........................

If the rest of the people want to leave Lydia, she won't force them. If they don't share the same ideas, there won't be any good results working together.

But surprisingly, except for the doctor just now, no one chose to leave.

"This is a question that only an idiot would ask. Anyone who has worked as a doctor should know that men and women are just a gender division. If discrimination really arises from this, then you should just stop being a doctor."

(From the author's true thoughts, really, after learning more about medicine, you really don't care about gender. No matter how you look at it, it's just two different shapes of meat-_-||,

Ah...these two chromosomes are different.

Ah.....there are two different organs here.

It can only be like this -_-||

Although the author does not know whether his classmates felt the same as he did at the time, this is how he felt anyway.)
