It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 500 When magic is powerless, it's time for surgery

After finishing the treatment, Archmage Novak dragged on, insisting that Gretel go to write a thesis together.The Lord of Thunder saw that he had saved his subordinates, so he had no choice but to agree. He raised his hand and acquiesced to Gretel to go with him.

For the healer, it is better to be polite.After all, it doesn't matter if you, your family, or your disciples, you don't know when they will be needed.

Gretel: ...sorrow.jpg.I'm also a doctor, why don't I see teacher, you treat me preferentially...

Written by Gretel, he stated the conjectures about the violent expansion of liquid nitrogen, intestinal perforation, and the precipitation of nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood, causing air embolism;
Archmage Novak supplemented the content related to healing techniques, cut, copied, and printed pictures from the materials provided by Ta Ling, and completed the publication of the paper;

Then, the two co-signed the first author, that Mike Wooster classmate, honorably became the second author...

"You are too kind to him." It was already night after the thesis was finished, and Archmage Novak hosted a small banquet for Gretel. During the dinner, it was half funny and half complaining:

"What did that kid do? He just drank a glass of liquid nitrogen. We saved him and gave him a second author?"

"Oh, it's a very rare case after all. If it wasn't for his death, we wouldn't be able to publish this paper..."

Gretel smiled.Hey, it's not easy to find a warrior who has worked so hard. They are all magicians under the Lord of Thunder. It is still possible to give him a second job to restore a little blood.

Of course, the main reason is that he is not his own disciple.If it is my disciple who dares to pour liquid nitrogen into his mouth, he must be driven out!

A very comfortable dinner.Archmage Novak is not a native of the Kingdom of Kent, but escaped from the core area of ​​the glorious Holy See after becoming a magician.Having stayed in Nevis for decades, the taste still retains the habits of my youth:

The pan-fried silver cod is delicious and tender, the outer layer is slightly charred, and the inner layer is white, and every bite has an endless aftertaste;
Cuttlefish ink seafood risotto, the entrance is fragrant and dense, and the shrimp meat is plump. Grete was moved to tears after eating rice for a long time!
The clam chowder is light and delicious, and it cannot be more beautiful;
White asparagus was served on a plain black plate, and next to it were two mushrooms, like spring flowers.Fried in butter, with a layer of sesame seeds sprinkled on top, the taste is very tender, with a faint creamy aroma...

Woohoo, as expected, the Mediterranean diet is closer to Chinese food, and it is more pleasant to eat.Gretel was so moved: In comparison, the local dishes in the Kingdom of Kent are all the hell, they can only fill your stomach...

After dinner, Archmage Novak and Gretel leaned in front of the fireplace, one holding a glass of wine, the other holding a cup of tea, chatting with each other.Experiences from all over the world, magical experience, strange patients encountered since practicing medicine...

In fact, under the cover of Igor's fan lock, the temperature of Tongtian Tower and the surrounding auxiliary towers is almost constant, and the fireplace is just a sense of ritual.However, the warm and beating firelight still makes people feel very relaxed:

"Little Gretel, you should publish a few more papers. You have always devoted yourself to treating diseases and wounds, and never published papers. Who knew you were good at healing? Hiccup..."

Chatting and chatting, Archmage Novak spoke faster.His eyes were shining, his voice fluctuated high and low, as if he was about to get drunk:

"Like today, if I don't come, you can take it down by yourself, right? But Archmage Bairbo insists on inviting me—"

Gretel kept smiling, no nodding, no speaking.Archmage Novak waved his hand:

"You don't have to be humble. If I were to treat it, at least three or four [healing serious injuries] would be thrown away. But if you make a move, cut open the belly, let go of the gas, and then stick the secret magic eye in, you only need one at most." [Treatment of serious injuries], just a few slander and minor injuries..."

That's not the case.With such a serious injury, there will be a lot of breathing disorders, arrhythmia, and messy complications. With a high-level healer, I feel much more at ease.Gretel smiled and wanted to say a few words of humility, but was directly interrupted by Archmage Novak:

"Look, so. You are just a level 5 mage. In Nevis City, what is level 5? You can find a group of high-level mages and archbishops above level 10, or even level 15. If there are any intractable diseases, who would think of you?"

This is true.Gretel nodded silently:

For example, the residents of the imperial capital have a troublesome disease. Everyone goes straight to the top three hospitals, and goes to the professor and director. The disease is really intractable, and the ultimate move is to go to Xiehe.

The attending doctor of a certain second-level hospital, who came to see you?
"So, write a thesis, write a thesis." Archmage Novak stretched his arms through the drunkenness, and clapped his thick palm on Gretel's shoulder, once:
"It's best to find some diseases that others can't cure. You can cure them. Cure one and publish a paper. After a long time, any strange situation will come to you..."

"Then, Your Excellency the Archmage, is there any disease that cannot be cured by healing?"

Gretel asked seriously.So far, the diseases he has encountered are not many that cannot be cured by medical treatment and can be cured by modern medicine.Except for the one with the ruptured tendon in the arm, the only patent ductus arteriosus that cannot be cured by therapy——

In other words, low-level healing techniques can't cure them, and they can be treated with spells such as limited wishing or wishing.

There may be others, but he doesn't see many patients and can't accumulate data.

Children from poor families don't know how to seek medical treatment at all, they just give up, and they don't even know that it is a disease until they die;

Rich people, children of aristocratic families, as Archmage Novak said, why do people come to you as a fifth-level mage?
"Well……"

Archmage Novak raised his hand and stroked his beard.His pale golden beard dimmed instantly, and his eyes lowered, making him look a few years older.Gretel couldn't be more familiar with that gloomy look:

"There are quite a lot. For example, Necromancer's [Corruption Cyst], the rotten sac that is put into the human body, cannot be cured by healing. Treat moderate injuries, treat severe injuries, remove poison, remove diseases... what Neither will work."

This Gretel had heard of it.The rot sac placed by the necromancer can only be removed by surgery, and any healing techniques will not work.Maybe it's the reason for the conflict of energy nature, either the more you treat it, the bigger it gets, or the rotten sac bursts open for you to see on the spot.

And when it comes to surgery, no school is better at it than necromancers.Perhaps, this is also a warning from the Necromancer School, or a method to divide the sphere of influence:

Don't touch my prey!
"If it's an operation, I still have some confidence." Gretel nodded slightly.Moreover, based on his relationship with Black Crow Swamp, one or two cases of rot sac infection should not be attacked by necromancers?

Well, try it out next time...

"Any more?"

"There are quite a few more." Archmage Novak began to snap his fingers:

"When I was traveling in the New World, I once saw two children who were born together. The locals said that they were cursed by some kind of demon and thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild animals. I brought them Come back, I want to use healing to separate..."

Conjoined twins.Gretel made up his mind: Healing techniques can only follow the natural growth process of a person. Obviously, there are no two conjoined twins who will separate as they grow.

This can only be cut with surgery, but the surgery is also very troublesome... "Then what happened later?"

"Later, I consulted my teacher. The teacher was also very interested and used the limited wishing technique...they were separated, but they still died..."

This... the internal organs are not properly divided, right?Gretel bowed his head silently, refusing to comment.Archmage Novak sighed:
"There is another child...anyway, it belongs to a certain noble family. He has a cleft lip since he was a child. Their family is a bit powerful. I don't know how many healers have been invited to look at it. I have also looked at it. However, the healing technique is not good, and it is not worth using. Limited wishing technique..."

Harelip repair surgery...it doesn't look big, but it's very delicate and has many difficulties.Gretel scratched his head. If he does this operation... um, he can guarantee to sew up his lips. God knows whether it will look good or not...

"It can't be cured no matter how you treat it. The heir of a family can't be too ugly." Archmage Novak took another big sip of wine, and his bushy eyebrows frowned tightly:

"Later, I heard that he was sent to the countryside, and the family changed to an heir... Sigh..."

In other words, the child is most likely dead.It's really a pity. Although it is not easy to do cleft lip repair surgery well, in the view of modern medicine, it is only a question of the repair effect, not whether it can be repaired.

It is too tragic to lose a life because of a harelip.

Archmage Novak sighed while drinking, and continued to talk about three or five cases where healing techniques were ineffective.Some Gretels know how to cure, and some Gretels can't:

For example, there is one, which is obviously a diabetes attack, and the obvious smell of rotten apples can already be smelled in the exhalation.After the first round of healing, the patient will immediately go into a coma, after the second round of healing, the patient will die——

It is said that therapy is to speed up the circulation of the human body and promote healing. If you throw too much, the metabolism will speed up, and the blood ketones will accumulate in large quantities. Ketoacidosis will kill you in minutes!

But what can I do, I don't have insulin in my hand...

Gretel could only sigh with the Archmage, and offered some simple suggestions by the way: For example, diabetics should control their diet, avoid refined flour, sugar and so on.

Even so, for patients who can exhale the smell of rotten apples, it is estimated that this measure is of little use.In the previous life, when a doctor encountered a patient with this characteristic, he would immediately detain it for treatment!
The two replaced wine with tea and clinked one cup after another, the more they talked, the more depressed they became.Seeing that the night was getting dark, Archmage Novak was about to say, "Just sleep in the guest room for the night", when one of his disciples rushed in in a panic:
"Teacher, Viscount Callender's family invites you to consult! It is said...the newborn in their family was born...there is no such thing..."

"Which one?"

"It's... that one!"

Gretel covered his face.Okay, needless to say, coming in in such a hurry, what is missing is probably the XX who cursed "your son was born without XX"...

****
In fact, there is no cure for many congenital defects, such as the disease of "the gene is prescribed to grow like this"...

I am thinking about what other diseases cannot be cured by treatment...
