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

Chapter 688 Does Your Hospital Have No Compassion? !
"So I'm going to have Tarling?"

Gretel was overjoyed at first, then surprised again.Of course, this shock is not easy to express directly in front of the baroness:
So I have a loan of [-] gold coins? ——Besides, with the [-] gold coins, don't you need to use the Queen's treatment fee, the treatment fee of the major customers of the Maternity and Infant Hospital, and the training fee of the Spring Temple to pay off the debt?
——In the parliament, why are you buying and selling by force!

Hey, forget it, don't worry about it.The left and right councils didn't say when the [-] gold coins—or the [-] contribution points—would be repaid, and they didn't stipulate the interest rate of the loan, so they could have the cheek to treat it as an interest-free loan.If they want to enforce it, I'll...

I will go to the teacher for support!

Of course, apart from this, there are other things that bother Gretel.Mainly financial pressure:

The newly hired midwives, nurses, and support staff, at least their salaries must be paid, right?
Spellcasters, there is no need to pay wages—Gretel can now say with a cheeky “what kind of wages do you get for those who come to learn the craft”—but, the hospital will never pay for daily expenses, such as having lunch, drinking afternoon tea, etc. So they bring their own?
Not to mention, with the increase in the number of operations, logistical expenses, such as charcoal water purification, bed sheets and bedding, etc., have also increased significantly...

And this money can only be earned by yourself.The queen has already paid 2 gold coins in one lump sum.Regardless of the payment method, it is basically unnecessary to expect her to increase the allocation of funds to the hospital.

Gretel had no choice but to go to the former Lord Dean.Although Gretel has gained theoretical control of the Maternity and Infant Hospital, he is not very involved.The operation of the hospital, so far, is still supported by the lord's diligence——

"Advertise in the newspaper?"

"Yes." Gretel spread his hands:

"Let's say we're going to start a new medical trial comparing labor analgesia versus natural labor without analgesia."

Well, if you only require analgesia during the second stage of labor, that is, when the uterine contractions are the most intensive and painful, the casting cost can be reduced to as low as 10 gold coins.If you require full analgesia, the cost is 100 gold coins.

"Then, for women enrolled in the program, if the situation progresses to necessitating a caesarean section, the hospital can waive the cost of the procedure."

Lord Graff swipes the record.Remembering this sentence, the tip of the pen paused, looked up at Gretel, and hesitated to speak.Forget it, forget it, you're the one doing the surgery, and you're the one who's throwing away the healing magic, so you can avoid it if you want...

"So what do you need?"

"I need precise delivery." That's all that is left of Grete's understanding of advertising:
"Probably the target group is families who are willing to pay about 10 to 100 gold coins for childbirth. I don't know which newspapers or other channels can accurately contact this group of people. Please."

And, the improvement of the hospital's financial situation is also up to you!

Lord Graff took orders.It has to be said that this Lord Lord is indeed deeply entrenched in the capital, up and down, and any road can be opened.From the third day after he released the news, mothers from middle-class and upper-middle-class families came to the hospital one after another.

Padma Stott held her sister's hand and walked slowly into the small white building, frowning slightly.This small building looks neat and clean on the outside, which makes people feel good, but there is a strange smell inside.Cold, hard, even a little pungent——

"Ma'am, this is the smell of disinfectant." The nurse in charge of receiving her observed her words and immediately explained:
"Master Nordmark's research results, regular disinfection with disinfectant water can reduce infection and reduce the occurrence of puerperal fever. Rooms, corridors, and even all utensils in the hospital will be sprayed and wiped regularly with it."

OK then.For your own safety, let the smell of disinfectant replace the familiar and favorite floral fragrance...

Padma walked into Ward No. 3 slowly, lay down on the bed, and decided to rest for a while while the contractions were not too severe.As soon as he closed his eyes, he was blown up by a scream:
"what--"

!!!

Scared to death!
The heart rate doubled directly!
Padma held her beating heart and sat up straight.On the sofa beside the bed, my younger sister Liqi had jumped up and rushed to the door.As soon as the door was opened, a sharp scream came in through the crack of the door:

"Ah—it hurts to death—please let me cut it, let me cut it—"

"Ma'am, your current condition does not meet the indications for cesarean section." A young woman's voice responded to her.It's flat, unhurried, as if it's just a routine:
"Please be patient and don't waste your energy at this stage. The cervix has already been opened with seven fingers, and you can give birth in a few hours."

"I don't want to... Please let me have a section—or give me painless surgery, please—"

"Ma'am, when you were admitted to the hospital, the family members only paid for an hour of analgesia, which has been used up according to your request. Do you want to continue to pay?"

"This one……"

Padma became curious, walked out of the ward slowly, and leaned on the door frame to watch.Sweeping left and right, several doors opened one after another, and more than one pregnant woman or a family member of a pregnant woman came out to look around.

And in the corridor, a pregnant woman with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair was facing her back, holding another old woman and desperately sucking in air, her body was almost limp to the ground:

"Please! Please! Stop the pain, I'm dying of pain! Please—"

"Hasn't the money already been paid!" A trace of disgust flashed across the face of the old woman who was being held by her, and she shook her off forcefully:
"It's because you couldn't bear it, so you used it up ahead of time! When you run out, you can bear it yourself. My son works hard at sea, and how much money he can make in a year. Is it easy for the family to take out ten gold coins!"

"I..." The pregnant woman was interrupted after saying a word.The severe pain made her unable to even support her body, and slowly slipped to her knees on the ground:
"I have a dowry... After giving birth, I will go back and borrow money from my natal family... Please use it for me first, I can't bear it anymore... I really can't..."

No matter how hard-hearted a person is, his heart will soften when he sees her kneeling and begging like this.At least Padma is like this. If she is not already in labor, she almost wants to go up to help the mother and comfort her, "Go and sit inside first, the ground is too cold and it will hurt the body."

"Your dowry doesn't belong to your family! If you go to borrow money, don't you want your family to pay it back!"

However, the old woman remained unmoved, with her hands on her hips, and her tone was strong:

"Who doesn't feel pain when a woman gives birth to a child? For generations, they have been hurt like this. You are so delicate, what more pain relief is needed! If this family can guarantee that nothing will happen, who would spend such a large sum of money to send you in?" !"

Padma closed her eyes slightly.Women do not have their own property and income, so they are bullied like this.Just thinking about it, a person rushed out from the next ward, pointing to the young woman who arranged for analgesia for pregnant women:
"Does your hospital have no mercy? Seeing her in such pain, why don't you cast spells on her to relieve the pain?!"
