Chapter 16: Such Medical Skills
Buku Town is less than half a day away from Medeas City. Ace and his party arrived smoothly before the city gate was closed at night.
Romon was waiting at the city gate early on. He didn't see his wife and children for several months, and he was busy with the printing business every day. Now he is a qualified businessman.
I miss you so much! Romon gave Marina and Ace a bear hug as soon as they met.
Ace, you have grown a lot taller. It seems that the water and soil in Buku Town really support people. During this period of time, the printing industry has made a lot of money. If it weren't for you, it would take more than two years to officially obtain citizenship. I have to be in the first place. It’s impossible to build a huge villa in the block.”
According to the laws of the city-state, non-citizens are not allowed to buy or sell real estate in the first block. So they can only continue to live in the second-floor villa rewarded by the Cultural and Educational Hall.
The city is much safer than the towns outside the city. The two veterans separated from Ace's family and went home separately.
As soon as he got home, Ace saw five cages covered with black cloth in the yard.
Low-level monsters are also monsters, and it's not easy to catch them, especially if the ones you want have special abilities. In the recent period, I only got these few corroded jackals.
Romon lifted one of the black cloths, and inside lay a big blue-gray dog that was tied up in five knots. There was a special iron clip on its mouth, and it couldn't be opened. It could only make a whining sound. After seeing a few people, it showed fierce eyes, struggling to attack.
Ace recalled the records in the Low-level Monster Illustrated Book that corroding jackals are widely found in the plains of the whole continent. They live in groups, usually in groups of three to five. They like to eat sulfur. They are cunning and aggressive. They can spray 3- 5 meters away, highly corrosive acid.
I really want to use it as an experiment now, why can a large amount of corrosive acid be sprayed out, but the dog's mouth is not corroded? Is it just a biological effect or is there some kind of mysterious supernatural power? I really want to dissect it quickly and study its structure carefully.
Ace resisted the impulse. Experimenting in the city-state is not safe or confidential. He nodded to his father, I will take these dogs to the manor in Buku Town in a few days, and I will trouble Dad to prepare the carriage.
I'll be back in a few days. Aren't you going to learn medicine from Dr. Taylor?
Of course I have to learn. From now on, I will live here three days a week and go to the manor at other times.
What's so good about Buku Town, fine, fine, it's up to you. Romon said helplessly.
The next day, Ace arrived at Mr. Peter's house with the special products of Buku Town. He handed the gift to Joan, found out that the teacher was at home, and walked straight to the backyard. Today happened to be Friday, and it was time for Peter to give public lectures.
Ace hadn't listened to Peter's lecture for a long time. He found a comfortable place in the yard, greeted his familiar disciples softly, and listened to Peter's lecture.
At noon, after Peter finished his lecture, Ace stood up and bowed slightly to Teacher Peter, Teacher, I'm back.
I heard that you lived in Buku Town for a while, and the rural environment is good. In a few months, you have grown a lot. Peter said to Ace with a smile.
Ace has indeed developed rapidly during this period, and he suspects that it has something to do with the greatly enhanced mental strength after meditation. But this can't be said, so he had no choice but to agree, The rural environment is really beautiful. If you have time, teacher, you are welcome to come to my manor for a short stay.
I will definitely go in the future when I have time. I have already contacted Dr. Tylos, and he has agreed for you to study medicine at his place, three days a week. Because you are not an apprentice, you need to pay his monthly tuition fee of 50 silver thalers.
That makes sense, Mr. Peter.
His clinic is on the first block, I'll take you there.
Tylos' clinic is located in the bustling area of the first block, mainly serving nobles and citizens. The clinic is a small three-story building facing the street. At noon, when Taylor was resting, Peter brought Ace to the clinic.
Tylos, this is my student Ace,
He wants to learn medicine from you.
Talos was short and thin, with piercing eyes.
He stared at Ace for a while, If you don't want to be an apprentice, then you need to study for a fee, fifty silver thalers a month, the price is the same for a few days. I will give lectures to the apprentices every night, You can sit in on it at any time, treat patients during the day, if you want, you can come and help, and you can still learn a lot.”
No problem, let's start today, Teacher Taylor. I want to modify the time. I will study with you for half a month every month, and I won't come for the other half.
Yes, whether you come all 30 days a month or just one day, you will get fifty silver thalers. I hope you can learn something and don't let the silver thalers down.
Peter leaves, Ace stays. Start working at Telos' clinic.
It was his first close contact with medical care in this world, and he was busy doing odd jobs all afternoon.
Please wash the dirty woolen cloth and boil it in boiling water for an hour.
New here, clean up this patient's vomit.
This patient was bitten by a poisonous snake on the leg, the newcomer, hurry up and bring an axe.
I have a high fever and need bloodletting, newcomer, quickly bring a basin.
I've eaten something bad, so I can only enema. The new one is going to get the big metal syringe.
After a busy afternoon, Ace saw the city-state's best medical skills, knew high-temperature disinfection, and used some medicines, but more often he cut his legs for leg injuries, chopped his hands for hand injuries, and was very skilled in bloodletting therapy and enema techniques.
In the evening, Telos was giving a lecture.
Amputation is often the most effective treatment method. Only by cutting off the poisoned and festered ones can the disease be prevented from spreading throughout the body...
The human body's blood is in excess overall. Bloodletting can eliminate the lesion, find the right location, and quickly resolve the lesion...
The disease enters through the mouth, and after entering the human body, it can only be eliminated through the intestines. We use enemas to speed up excretion...
About a week later, Ace had a full experience of the best clinic in the city-state.
Tylos' treatment idea, as a whole, is to eliminate the disease, whether it is cutting off the limbs, bleeding, or enema, the goal is actually to eliminate the disease.
However, their methods are too rough and the methods are simple. Many methods are based on experience plus conjecture and a priori speculation.
All their methods did not work at all, and some people suffered so much that they still lost their lives in the end.
Ace had never studied medicine in his previous life. As the saying goes, persuading people to study medicine is like a thunderbolt. But Ace shuddered when he saw the rough treatment this week.
For the condition of many patients, it is not necessary to cut off the hands and feet, but to clean them up in time with salt water or alcohol, and to cut off the carrion with a burning steel knife. He planned to study medicine by himself, and he had to do experiments on both sides. In order not to have his legs cut off in the future, bloodletting, enemas, he also had to study medicine.
