He has the empress's ear, so what can't he achieve? If the professors of the Imperial Medical School refuse to listen and reform, the empress will have them fired ingloriously. That would be quite a motivation to actually listen, learn, and develop.

Wifey felt lonely without him aww...
This manga churning out chapters every once in a while makes me feel like I'm also fighting alongside Palle in real time. It made me happy that he made some recovery. :win:

Medical schools huh. If they pose as a problem, I'm sure he has backing from everyone around him, including the royalty.

This world has doctors? I thought pharmacists in this world were also the doctors in this world, given how they are expected to diagnose, treat and prescribe medicine to patients. :unsure:
This honestly feels like the first ever mention of "doctors" as a separate entity from pharmacists within the field of medicine/healing, the only other implication of it is that there was a patient with something resembling a prescription in one of the earlier "daily life at the pharmacy" type scenes... at some point... I think. I kinda wonder if their talk of "doctors" as having rigid (& old) teachings is if they're referring more to straight up fantasy Healers, something closer to a priest who miraculously cures afflictions through faith or whatever & gives the occasional prescription for pharmacists to do whatever is needed for someone's cough or whatever that isn't worth the time/trouble of whatever bizarre ritual is required to whip up the divine favor needed to cure it. Outside of that, idk, I just have trouble envisioning a doctor as anything but A) someone working hand-in-hand with pharmaceutical to cure patients like in our world (even if they're the ones inventing the treatments or whatever) or B) a surgeon, mainly operating on people who have some reason to need surgery & relying on the body's own ability to heal (relatively) smaller incisions vs. whatever-the-hell-was-wrong-beforehand (& I guess relying on local pharmacists for just the pain management side of things?)

Then again, I could be just entirely forgetting a proper explanation- if there ever was one- because of the age of the manga & the length of the occasional gaps between chapters, I haven't re-read it from the beginning since... well, the first time lol :02:

Yeah, I agree. The only thing that came to mind for me was that there were a lot of people in the room when the empress was bedridden all the way at the beginning. They never specified who was who or what their profession was, but I could imagine there might have been some doctors present there.

That said, it did feel like Bruno was in charge of the team, and he's a pharmacist, so I don't know where these doctors have been hiding all this time. :unsure:

That's what I thought at first too but for anyone curious, it explicitly mention "医師" which afaik, means doctor as in physician. Could also mean medical researchers in the school but I doubt that.

Bold plans for someone who has the Empress' ears.
Every time I read a chapter I lament the light novel is still not being translated officially. I just want more from this world.

And who's going to replace them? What this story fails to address is that his way of introducing innovation is saddled with serious problems. No one he teaches really understands what they are doing, they are simply told to take his methods at face value and repeat. That's because it takes years of specialized formal education to be able to understand, and even that only assuming you have decades of modern basic education already. The entire reason he's looking into changing the university's way of teaching is to begin closing those gaps, he can't have young people step in and tell even younger ones "look, this works so just do it like this". Well, I guess he could, if he appealed to state religion, but that kind of makes the whole "evidence based approach" meaningless, doesn't it? He needs to introduce it gradually, based on what they already know and learn, so the professors' cooperation is needed both because they have authority and are familiar with what is taught and how.

The problem is that all the bits knowledge he introduces are basically divine revelations as far as other people are concerned. It works, but it's like magic spells that are just handed out, people have no ability to really verify, understand and build on it. This is far from how scientific advancement works IRL.

There'd be no need to replace them all because not all would refuse. Only old fossils already about to retire and knowing they can't be bothered to learn new things would leave. And then potentially some stubborn fools who would do more harm than good even if they stayed. After that, just promote younger staff willing to listen and learn to be new professors. At the end of the day, if the empress herself plus the head of the church are standing behind Falma, it would be no insult to their pride and prestige to heed Falma's words. Not to mention they most certainly are all already aware of Falma and all aspects of his fame. So, it wouldn't be some nameless person out of the blue the empress would nominate to reschool them.
