As the influence of the Physicians Association continued to expand, the professional education of doctors in the Nolan Continent was likewise on track, and professional medical schools were almost a standard existence in mega cities.
The Imperial Capital Medical School was the top medical school in the Lance Empire, and in addition to the children of lords and nobles, it also gathered the best medical students in the Lance Empire.
From the time Vivian entered the school at the age of ten, she was the proud daughter of heaven who attracted a lot of attention, in addition to her father's prestigious status as the Minister of Finance, more importantly, it was the top-notch talent that she displayed.
At that time, she heard the most praise that she might become the next "Charlotte"!
Yes, Charlotte. Charlotte Clayton, a name synonymous with genius.
He was the pride of Calva Medical School from the distant free city, known as the most gifted doctor in a thousand years, and even used by the Physician's Association as a promotional benchmark for genius.
At that time Vivian was not convinced of the analogy in her heart, she was who she was and did not want to be the next someone else.
But that didn't stop her from making that name a goal in her mind and pushing herself to keep getting stronger.
Until three years ago, when the rumors about Charlotte suddenly changed.
He had suddenly turned from the Light of the Calva Medical School to the Shame of the Calva Medical School, and was rumored to have been jailed for causing the deaths of several patients because of the surgeries he performed on them privately.
As of this moment, Charlotte was nailed to the pillar of shame and became a counterexample for teachers to use to admonish their students.
Vivian also scoffed at this, a senior magician who was extremely talented in healing magic and was born in a traditional medical family, but to abandon her faith to do some kind of surgery was simply unbelievable!
But what she didn't expect was that three years later, when she fled to the abyss in distress, she entered this small private clinic by mistake, and the owner was actually "Charlotte"?
"Boss, are you Charlotte. Clayton?" Vivian looked at Charlotte and asked in a small voice.
"Hm? You know me?" Charlotte looked up with some surprise.
"As a medical student, it's hard to say you don't know ..." Vivian nodded with a complicated expression, puzzled, "But, didn't you become a senior magician a long time ago? Then why did you ..."
Seeing Vivian's desire to speak, Charlotte laughed, "It seems that the Healer's Association also didn't take out all the things they did to publicize
rumors, such as how to nullify my magic essence and then kick me out of Karwar."
Vivian's mouth slightly opened, her face showing shock.
A senior magician having his magical origin nullified, this kind of punishment was almost indistinguishable from killing him.
Vivian almost didn't dare to imagine if she would still have the courage to continue living if she was deprived of her magic origin and all the magic she had worked so hard to cultivate for over ten years was suddenly lost.
"Why?" Vivian asked almost offhandedly.
But she clearly already knew the answer ... Or rather, the reason given by the Healer's Guild.
"Like you heard, because I operated on patients who couldn't afford the high cost of medical care." Charlotte smiled.
Looking at Charlotte with a mocking smile, Vivian was in a daze.
If she was still sitting in the classroom of the Imperial Medical College, she would support the Physicians' Association's disposition without any burden, and put on trial the heretics who cheated patients with so-called surgeries.
But she had just observed a fracture renewal surgery, and she had watched Charlotte, with her own eyes, reattach the lizardman's broken bones without the aid of any magical means.
As a medical student, she was certain that with the self-healing ability of the lizard community, it would not take more than three days for his broken arm to regain normal function.
This was an operation skillfully performed by Charlotte, who had been deprived of her magical essence.
So, a doctor who used 'surgery' to help a patient should be judged?
Who said that only those who can do magic are considered doctors?
Why would the Physicians' Association, whose primary principle was to put the patient's interests first, suppress him like this?
Vivian couldn't understand.
"There are many things in this world that you can't understand at your age, when you grow up a bit more, you will naturally understand." Charlotte didn't continue to explain, picking up half a basin of cold water prepared on the side and drenching it down towards the lizardman lying on the operating bed on his head.
The conditions were limited, physical anesthesia could only be physically awakened.
Gollum ...
The lizardman woke up immediately, sat up violently from the hospital bed, looked around with a confused face before his eyes focused on Charlotte's body, and his eyes flashed.
Lotte's body, his eyes glared, and his aura was steeply raised.
Without waiting for the lizardman to seize, Charlotte had already picked up the ruling sword that was placed beside the bed, and calmly said, "The surgery was successful, the broken bone has been reattached, but it needs to recuperate for a few days, and you can't exert any force until the bone grows back."
Lizardman Jack looked at the verdict, the fire immediately went down, and then looked at his left arm that was tied by the wooden brace, the arm returned to a smooth and straight state visible to the naked eye, and the pain was greatly reduced, his eyes immediately lit up.
It was really cured!
Although he can't use it now, but he knows his own physical condition best, the bone was connected, as long as three to five days, his hand will be able to fully recover.
Although the so-called "surgery" process was a bit scary, the final result completely exceeded his expectations.
This human doctor, a bit powerful ah!
Jack's gaze at Charlotte had changed from initial distrust to gratitude.
As a mercenary who relied on his body to eat, Charlotte was like renewing his career so that he could continue to gain a foothold in the Abyss.
"The cost of the surgery is 500 copper coins." Charlotte looked at Jack with a calm expression, playing with the sword in his hand, "You should have brought money, right?"
500 copper coins was undoubtedly a very conscientious price.
If he had entered another hospital, he wouldn't have been able to leave the door without ten thousand or eight thousand.
But Jack only had 3 copper coins in his pocket right now, and was still 497 copper coins short.
"To charge only 500 copper coins for such a complicated surgery?" Vivian's eyes could not hide her surprise, the low fee was completely unexpected.
In her perception, doctors were the proper upper class in the Imperial Capital, and the expensive consultation fees allowed doctors to have a noble status and a rich family background.
Although Charlotte was no longer able to use magic, but mastered such a strange means as "surgery", the same to complete the treatment of the patient, why his fee is so low?
Jack's legs trembled, his face pulled out a smile that was worse than crying, ''Can ... be able to get credit? I don't have any money on me today."
"If you don't have money, then leave the same equivalent as collateral." Charlotte said calmly.
"But I don't have anything of value on me either." Jack spread his hands, poorly justified.
"Then let's take a part from your body to cover the bill, you choose? Or I'll pick?" Charlotte took a step forward with his sword, and his voice was a few degrees colder.
He hated guys who had no money and still had a straight face.
Sentimental sword qi let Jack subconsciously backward, carrying a sword Charlotte at the moment in his eyes like a killing god.
"I ... I have three copper coins ..." Jack's trembling hand pulled out the only three copper coins from his pocket.
Charlotte took the copper coins, "There are still 497 copper coins left, I think your tail is not bad, why don't you choose the tail?"
Three minutes later, the lizardman covered his severed tail that was stitched up and ran out of the clinic door with a horrified face.
In the operating room, Vivian looked at the big tail still writhing on the floor with a scared face.
Charlotte's expression was much more calm.
[Lizardman's tail, weight 25 kilograms, unit price 20 copper coins, total value 500 copper coins].
What he saw in his eyes was the twisted 500 copper coins.
If the sale went well, he could earn an additional 3 copper coins.
