Chapter 33 Des Town
It's already mid-winter, and the weather in Des Town this year is extremely cold, and it has been snowing heavily for three days and three nights.
While eating breakfast, Ace was chilling by the warm fireplace of the Hicks Clinic. More than two months ago, Ace gave his mother Marina a detailed account of the development plan of the manor for the next two years. Kelsen was responsible for the implementation and Roman Marina supervised it.
He left a letter to his mother, asking her to give it to his father Romon in the spring. In the letter, he asked Romon to sell the wine and noodles produced by the manor, and then move the printing shop to the manor. The past two years have troubled Romon and his father. Marina looks after the development of the estate together.
Afterwards, he rode a carriage all the way south to the town of Des in the southeast of the city-state. Des Town faces the sea in the east and is located in the middle of the city-state. Low-level monsters can occasionally be seen here. It has a large population, and it is the most populous area except Medimus City.
Hicks is a well-known doctor here, and Ace still remembers the scene of the first meeting.
You are a city-state scholar? This badge looks real, but it's not important. You can't come to my clinic as an assistant, no! Hicks refused with a serious face.
Doctor Hicks... Ace wanted to say something, but was interrupted immediately.
You don't have any famous doctor's recommendation, so it's impossible to travel and practice medicine. Even if you are a scholar, you can only start as an apprentice.
Ace looked at Hicks with a smile on his face, and said no more. He triggered the spellbook hidden in the black robe, the lesser spell card, and the charmed creature.
The magic power in the air was pulsating, condensed into an invisible force, and rushed towards Hicks, forming a shimmering rune structure on his neck.
However, you are my old friend, and of course there is nothing wrong with that. Welcome to my clinic and welcome to be my assistant.
In this way, relying on the secondary charm creature, Ace easily gained Hicks' trust and became Hicks' assistant. As long as he uses Charm Creature on Hicks again every three days, he can do whatever he wants.
He has collected nearly 200 medicinal formulas and 300 common medicinal materials through Hicks, and 121 of them are effective symptomatic medicinals after experiments, which are included in the Medicinal Materials and Prescriptions that Ace is writing.
The common diseases and special diseases are also recorded and summarized, which are collected in Comprehensive Explanation of Internal and Surgical Diseases. These two books will be the main guidance books for practicing medicine in the future.
Hicks' treatment method is still the same as that of the city-state doctor Telos. Many patients are ineffective and die in despair. By dissecting the corpses of dead patients, Ace figured out the structure of the human body in this world in a relatively short period of time, basically similar to the previous life, and wrote the book Human Structure.
The arrival of Ace has slowly changed this place. After two months, the treatment methods of Hicks Clinic have undergone qualitative changes. They are no longer amputation, bloodletting, and enema. Stay and watch.
For patients who do need to remove part of the body tissue, Ace tried to make a set of simple surgical instruments, copper scalpels, surgical forceps, surgical scissors and different types of surgical wires. After all the instruments are sterilized at high temperature, the operation is performed in a closed room that has been smoked with wormwood (a kind of exotic insect repellent) and sterilized with alcohol.
Ace established the basic procedure of surgery, disinfection, anesthesia, surgery, suture to stop bleeding.
After dozens of failures, simple operations can be performed, such as cutting the cecum and sewing the Achilles tendon is no longer a problem. He divides the operation into specific subjects, and all his experience is included in Comprehensive Explanation of Internal and Surgical Diseases.
Although there is no need for bloodletting, in order to collect the blood situation in this world, Ace continues bloodletting therapy to summarize the blood type rules in this world. Because there is no microscope, the current progress is slow.
Doctor, doctor! My son went out to play in the snow. He fell and couldn't walk anymore. Come and take a look. A father knocked on the door of the clinic anxiously.
Ace took two bites of rice,
Open the door, heavy snow blows. A man in his thirties came into the clinic in a panic with a seven or eight-year-old boy on his back, and Ace closed the door.
Don't worry, put the child on the bench, and I'll check on him.
Brother, my child's condition is very serious, can you let Dr. Hicks take a look at it. The man took out a handful of silver thalers from his pocket, and secretly handed it to Essex.
I'll check it for you first. When Dr. Hicks comes later, we can find out about the condition sooner. Esther took Yintaler gently, shaking it, about five or six times, and not a lot.
I'm Hicks, and this is my assistant Ace. Don't look at him young. In the past month or so, he has said that the patients who broke their legs were all cured by him. I'll take a look with him later, don't worry. Hicks came out from the back room and pulled the man away, apparently taking him to pay the medical fee.
Ace checked the wound, asked the boy about the details of the fall, and basically confirmed that it was a torn Achilles tendon.
Prepare for surgery! Upon hearing this, several apprentices got up quickly, carried the stretcher, put the boy on it, and walked into the back room.
Hicks also comforted the boy's father at this time, I will operate on your child immediately, and wait here quietly.
This man also heard that Hicks recently invented a treatment method called surgery. Many people who broke their legs and cut their hands have basically recovered their limbs after treatment. Although it is not as good as before, it is better than before. Disabled for life.
Several people entered the operating room. The smell of smoked herbs in the room was strong, and the boy was a little uneasy. He only heard one sentence, Feed the medicine. He was pinched and poured a few mouthfuls of bitter and numb medicine, and soon fell unconscious.
Ace looked at the numbed boy, stretched out his hand to wash his hands with wood ash, and then wiped it with a towel soaked in alcohol. The conditions are limited, and after returning to the manor, it can be disinfected with high-concentration wine re-distilled alcohol.
The others were charmed by Ace, and basically obeyed. The operation was completed soon. Ace sutured the boy's left leg clumsily, washed his hands, and left the operating room with Hicks.
You pay the hospitalization fee first. The child has just finished the operation, and still needs to be taken care of by us. The stitches are removed to prevent postoperative infection. You don't need to know so much, just pick him up in three days.
Hicks drove the man away roughly. The man wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to offend the doctor, so he could only pay the money and turn away.
Ace stretched his waist, he looked at all this and didn't intend to change anything. Although he charmed Hicks, it was still up to Hicks to decide how to charge. Ace just needed a place to steadily collect medicinal materials and prescriptions, disease types, and exercise surgery.
Now that the local medical material specimens and prescriptions have been basically collected, the types of diseases have been recorded, and the operation level has just begun, it is time to leave. Ace plans to travel all over the Salia Peninsula in the past two years, while practicing medicine, while hunting monsters and collecting more runes. Now that he has just completed his medical skills, there is no time to delay.
Ace took a bag of gentaler from Hicks as payment for his months of practicing medicine.
When Hicks is out of the enchanted state, he may wonder why he let Ace be his assistant, and he gave him a bag of gentaler when he parted. However, the new medical thinking and methods left by Ace are enough for him to use for a lifetime, so Ace Adams felt he was still worthy enough of a bag of quintalers.
