Chapter 2002 – [I Was Just Trying to Raise the Birth Rate]

One thing I haven’t thought about is that I’ve gotten used to my position as president and have forgotten how stupid humans are.

You can’t believe you’re rebelling against a president who will physically tear you apart if you make a mistake. Even if I were a president who never crossed the line, it would be difficult to predict that.

On the other hand, there were other reasons as well. That’s because I don’t just ignore people’s opinions, but I am the type of person who accepts people’s opinions as long as they are legitimate.

What made me different from other dictators was that I allowed criticism. What if Xi Jinping starts insulting the media before splitting up China? Wouldn’t that company disappear altogether?

In that sense, I was different from a typical dictator. However, one thing to consider is that even if I allow legitimate public opposition, the standard of legitimacy is ultimately determined by the parties involved.

In short, even if I don’t think it’s fair, those who think it’s fair can start a public opinion war. Especially if they are those who are so sick of their sense of authority that they think they are something.

“We will increase the number of students in medical schools, provide subsidies to those who want to become doctors, and encourage them to serve in departments they avoid, so let’s come up with a policy.”

“Dad went to war on the medical profession!!!!”

“Do you think these smart people would argue with me for no reason? Even if I do well, there will be a moderate amount of opposition, but they will find a compromise and do that.”

“Well, I wonder if it will end like that.”

“Why are you saying such ominous things for no reason?”

Afterward, I announced a policy to improve the medical field. We let people know that we will increase the number of students entering the department that is avoided by increasing the number of medical schools and doctors.

Well, there is an official announcement, but what is still familiar is the innbang. There is no need to be polite, it is easy to just do this in moderation.

“We will increase the number of doctors and increase the number of people in pediatrics, surgery, etc. Honestly, isn’t it a bit weird that people are flocking to skin care and plastic surgery these days?”

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ

-It has become difficult to find a pediatrician in the neighborhood these days.

-In the old days, if you walked for a while, there would be one… Well, that can’t be helped because the birth rate has dropped.

-But the Uiyong people will protest, is that okay?

“No, they say they are increasing the number of doctors and having them serve in that field because there is a shortage of people. Why? Is this something that will cause a backlash? Oh, because of the food bowl problem?”

-ㅇㅇ, I guess.

-The food bowl issue is important haha.

“Then, we will hire that doctor for life. It’s like a civil servant. The salary itself may be less than that of a regular doctor, but they still provide various services and such. For example, in cases of medical accidents, the government will step in and take care of it, etc..”

-Oh, that’s not bad.

-What about existing doctors?

“What are they doing by threatening us with knives so that we can become doctors? This is because they feel sorry for us, so they treat us differently and entertain us. Isn’t it a bit excessive to make a lot of money and work in a popular place and receive support from the government? Oh, of course, basic support as a citizen is not enough. They will do it, but they say they won’t give them special treatment, even if they are doctors.”

-Isn’t that contradictory? You say you won’t give special treatment to doctors, but you’re saying you’ll treat state-employed doctors well?

“Hey, state-employed doctors are ultimately public servants. The problems are different depending on their position. Just as if you beat up a doctor, it’s an assault case, but if you beat up a public servant, it could even lead to interference with the execution of official duties.”

-It’s not a bad idea.

-ㄹㅇ, honestly, I was upset because there was no place to see a doctor in my neighborhood these days.

-I am a current pediatrician. Even if I am currently employed, can I receive assistance if I switch to a national position?

“Ah, there are people like this. To be honest, you too are having a hard time because of Jin-sang’s parents, right? If you switch to government service, Eve will manage it, and you will be legally harassed and the other Jin-sang’s parents will kneel in front of you, so don’t worry. Instead, you have responsibility, so don’t think about causing trouble. Not.”

Freedom comes with responsibility. As a public official, you have the power that comes with it, but on the other hand, you also have a certain amount of responsibility.

If you are a government-employed medical professional, if a problem arises, the government will step in to deal with it, but on the other hand, if an individual causes a problem, severe punishment may be imposed. We’ll have to wait until later to find out what kind of punishment that will be, but at least that’s what I think.

Anyway, when we announced the increase in the number of medical personnel… There was a backlash in the medical community.

I also wondered what this was because I didn’t expect it at all.

“I am against the reckless expansion of medical schools!!!!!”

“The president who ignores the opinions of field personnel must resign!!!!!”

“Increasing the number of medical schools is a typical desk administration!!!!! The Medical Association condemns the government’s actions!!!!!”

What are you talking about, you bastards?

Isn’t the lack of doctors a chronic problem in the first place? No, it would be good if your work standards were relaxed a bit. There may be people who stay up all night seeing patients, but that’s ultimately because there aren’t enough people.

On the other hand, I can understand it. It’s not because of anything else, it’s because of my duties as the Great Demon King, but due to the nature of the majority, an odd number of Great Demon King’s always have to come together, so at least one, but at least three, had to come together.

There are currently five Great Demon Lords, so even if just one person is removed or added, the rotation will change significantly. Even though there are only five, what about the number of medical personnel who will be increased by hundreds or even thousands? It feels like transfusing blood to a patient with excessive bleeding, but I wonder if the medical staff doesn’t know that.

“I knew it would end up like this. We would have to fight in many ways.”

“You damn bastards.”

“No matter how many children you have in your stomach, why don’t you refrain from saying harsh words?”

“Ah… I’m sorry about that. I was so excited that I didn’t pay attention.”

Several months have passed since Cheonma became pregnant, and her stomach has become so bloated that even strangers can tell she is pregnant. Even if she wore loose clothes, she couldn’t hide her bulging belly, so it was obvious that she was pregnant.

Moreover, since they are twins, their bellies are bigger than the average person… Well, from a husband’s point of view, it’s good.

“I guess we’ll have to deal with those guys who killed George.”

“Doctors are in a profession that saves people, so if they kill them, it would be a problem, right?”

“If they keep fighting public opinion like that, I might compromise. But if they know for sure that I will increase the number of medical schools… They will definitely protest even more than that.”

Since they are also doctors, they should know better. If the same drug is not effective, a stronger drug must be used or a different drug must be used.

If my policy does not change, they will have no choice but to change their attitude. And that was the opportunity to punish them.

Even so, on the issue of increasing the number of medical schools, the majority of the public, excluding the opinions of doctors, supported me. In the end, there are only a few doctors, so the cards they can use are limited, and it is obvious what they will do.

“Your Majesty, how should we respond?”

“Just focus on public opinion. Let them know what kind of situation they are in and induce them to make mistakes.”

“Okay, then I’ll just proceed.”

“First of all, I’ll give the news to the reporters who are close to us, so it will be done soon, sir.”

I think media manipulation sucks, but this wasn’t media manipulation, it was just revealing the facts as they are. No, I don’t know if you’re hiding the truth or changing the truth, but it’s not wrong to just tell people the truth, right?

It’s not like propaganda at all, it’s just public opinion, so what can you do? In the first place, it was the harmful effects created by the medical industry, not us, that created the public opinion today.

-Increasing the number of medical schools? This is good. There is already a shortage of doctors.

-Making money even if you open a business is a different matter, but the government guarantees you a job equivalent to a government job? Even if you make less money, it’s better to be stable. Compulsory service is a bit uncomfortable, but nothing is free in this world.

-In addition, they say that the government will take care of issues related to personal negligence or medical accidents? Wouldn’t this allow you to work comfortably?

-The bastards used to discriminate and ignore Oriental medicine doctors, but it turned out well haha.

-President!!! Please take this opportunity to improve the treatment of nurses!!!

In addition, there was public opinion from industry workers such as nurses, oriental doctors, etc., Who were treated separately even though it was a medical industry. In the first place, it was a negative effect that occurred because they were whining about being superior and not making allies.

Hey, you should have used your human heart wisely. If your neighbors are shaking their heads, it’s worth seeing what you usually do.

And… Eventually, doctors began to show their opposition in action.

“We will go on strike until the government withdraws its policy to increase medical schools!!!!!”

These bastards have so much work to do, are they going on strike? No, I understand if people who are being treated really unfairly do this to express their opinions. If the other person was an ordinary worker, it would be okay because in the end, it would be a money issue and not anything else, even if damage occurred.

But you are doctors. If the people who save people’s lives go on strike, what about the patients?

Human greed is endless and doctors who believe they are justified in repeating the same mistakes seem to think that I will not punish them.

“But what can you do? Public opinion is not on your side.”

“Even if you mess up now, public opinion will support you. If anything, your approval rating will rise, so there is no problem.”

“No, with an approval rating that has nowhere to rise and is only about to fall… Anyway, I’ll give it one more chance.”

What is important is not the fact that you committed a mistake, but the reflection after doing it. In response, I held a press conference and announced the government’s official policy and opinions.

It was quite a fuss to gather reporters this time because it was an issue that was going to be slandered and get a lot of views as it had provocative material and a clear villain. No, even in a situation where trust scores have been introduced, as a reporter, you can’t help but be passionate about covering topics that will get the most views as quickly as possible.

Still, when you look at reporters these days, you see people you see often. It’s great to hear that they are reporting so honestly.

… Doctors should do that too. Ah, let’s just take this opportunity to change it.

“There is no change in the government’s official position regarding this doctor’s strike. We plan to not only expand the number of medical school students, but also use this opportunity to implement policies against medical personnel that were not possible before, such as revoking the licenses of medical practitioners with serious crimes.”

In short, they are saying that they have no intention of giving in, so they will fight openly. In response, the reporters wrote articles with excited expressions, teasing the batter.

However, since I said I would give you a chance, I will say that as well. In the past, before Eden came out as a Wakamo shrine maiden, she gave those who said bullshit to Eden a month or two to reflect. Of course, if they give too long, people will die, so they give relatively short amounts of time.

“Doctors who went on strike or submitted a resignation letter will be given a chance to return by this month. If so, they will not be held responsible for this incident. However, after the period has elapsed, the license of the relevant medical practitioner will be permanently suspended and he or she will be expelled from the medical field, so you are on your own. .”

“Permanent suspension?”

“Oh…”

This shows that I am not just saying that I will fight against the medical community, but that I am threatening them with a knife as I have even brought up the means of suspending their license.

Normally, I wouldn’t use this method. If the government was in a position to put pressure on them for something unfair, they would talk about a compromise with a smiling face and make a fuss, but they wouldn’t threaten it like this.

But these bastards are fucking playing with patients’ lives. Do I look down on people’s lives because I kill so many people?

I know that human life is precious, so I have self-loathing to the point where it is acceptable for me not to commit suicide even after committing murder without feeling guilty, and to the extent that Tiv, the absolute leader of denial and injustice, likes me. But what if these bastards don’t know that human life is more precious than mine when it comes to saving people’s lives?

I have to be careful. You have to be very careful. It seems like these bastards won’t listen to words, so I think I’ll have to talk to them for the first time in a while.

“This is the last chance I am giving you doctors. Ignore this opportunity and see what the consequences will be later.”

Since I warned you, those who will listen and those who will not listen.

Of course, among those who went on strike or submitted a resignation letter, there were probably some who did so under pressure from their superiors. But since I’m not an asshole, do you think I’ll leave them alone? There’s no need to worry if it’s pressure and naivety and the people who do that are okay with it.

Smart or perspicacious people will be able to decide which side to take, so they will not miss this opportunity. Nevertheless, if you ignore my warning… Your medical license will be suspended. Anything more than that and you’ll have to worry about your life.

“Dad, you think it’s just a fight, but the medical association and others are even protesting.”

“Leave it until this month. If we stay quiet, the fools who think they are right will fall into the trap.”

“How strict are you going to be? If you push too much, there may be a medical gap.”

“At that time, we will at least receive medical support from the dimensional civilization. In the first place, it is a place where there are not only humans but also monsters who get medical licenses from other races out of boredom. If you present something like a by-product of a transcendental person, there will be many people who will come.”

Although it may not be at the same level as Mr. Jaryeong, who looked after Sion when Eden was born, there are many doctors who can treat one or two races other than humans. This is a dimensional civilization. They have already increased the number of medical staff, so there are many doctors, and if sufficient conditions are presented, they can hire them as well.

Wouldn’t Gray and Phantom be happy to give their children jobs? Even if you’re just an intern there, you’re probably no better than a specialist who’s been working for 20 or 30 years here.

Anyway, until the end of this month, I watched these doctors go crazy. They say they can even grant the wishes of the dead. If you think of it as a will, there’s nothing you can’t grant, right?

-This government policy is considered a direct challenge to doctors!!!

-The dictator is trying to ruin this country!!!!

-What kind of slaves are we when you threaten us with your medical license!!!!

-Without doctors, there are no patients!!! Don’t ignore your doctor!!!!

-If you act like this, I’d rather kick the doctor and learn to work part-time in logistics or welding!!!!

Yes, yes, you guys are great. Until this month.

And as the time gradually approached… There was news that eventually came as we got caught up in the strike situation. In fact, there was an incident in which a patient being transported died because he could not find a hospital to receive treatment due to the absence of doctors due to the medical workers’ strike.

This decided their treatment.

All that’s left is George.
