I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 28 Hospital
Shaar and Sebastian didn't go far. After turning a few blocks, they came to a green-roofed house with a yard.

The house has two floors, and one side of the house has many arches, revealing the open corridor inside, and some people wearing black robes can be seen walking in it.

A very conspicuous cross is erected on the roof.

On the doorpost hung a vertical sign that read "Queens Central Hospital."

"I guess the doctors here are not as diligent as I am here." Sebastian looked at the sign on the hospital and complained.

"The quack doctors here always bring me new experiences."

"Is it outrageous?" Xia asked curiously.

This should be an official hospital. If the doctors here are unreliable, it is hard to imagine what other places will be like.

"A person I came here to take away yesterday, what do you think is the reason for his death?" Sebastian asked.

Shaar shook his head and smiled, "I don't have the Book of the Dead."

"Bleeding to death," Sebastian said, "the hospital has a cure for everything from plague and smallpox to epilepsy and gout by cutting a vein or artery in the forearm or neck.

In fact, if he didn't come to the hospital, that guy would have at least ten years to live. "

Shaar nodded. He was not surprised. After all, this era was in the early stages of the first industrial revolution. Although it was several decades earlier, the overall level was around the eighteenth century.

Western medicine in this period mostly had three treatment methods, enema, bloodletting and vomiting, and most of the drugs they touted were sulfur, saltpeter, mercury, lead, etc.
It was not until the achievements of the industrial revolution were gradually revealed, and antibiotics and bacteria were discovered, that they gradually changed.

But bloodletting did not gradually decline until the middle of the nineteenth century.

"Compared to going to the hospital, people believe in some witch doctor's remedies." Sebas joked.

While talking, the two walked into the hospital. Unlike the hospitals that Xia Ya went to in the past, they had a strong smell of disinfectant, but some strong herbal smell, very pungent, mixed with the smell of flowers The smell of blood.

The environment here can't be said to be clean, there are some mottled black spots on the wooden structure wall, I don't know if it is dyed by herbs, or something else.

Shaar even saw spider webs, obviously the cleaning staff here don't often take care of the ceiling.

Some bloodstains and traces of herbs can be clearly seen on the clothes of some hospital staff who don't know whether they are doctors or nurses who come and go in black robes, and they look like they haven't been washed for a long time.

In this era, some people should have begun to discover traces of microorganisms, but obviously, no one has applied this knowledge to medicine, and the disinfection methods are not perfect.

The bloodstains on these doctors may also be regarded as a symbol of experience.

There was a faint sobbing sound in the corridor, and outside the ward not far away, a young woman in her 20s was sitting on a chair outside the door, covering her face and crying.

There were also crying sounds from the ward, and against the faint smell of blood, it was particularly depressing.

However, the men in black robes who came and went seemed to be used to it, completely ignoring the crying man, indifferent and calm.

Shaar looked at these people, and said playfully, "Sebas, I think these people are more like death than you."

"Indeed, I didn't kill as many people as these people."

Sebastian said undeniably, he whispered in Char's ear.

"I've heard some gossip that you can get a medical degree or medical practice certificate from the most prestigious university or research institution in Britannia for only 20 pounds of silver, without even taking a single class.

Of course, the authenticity needs to be verified. "

"If this kind of rumor can spread, it is already outrageous in a sense." Xia Ya said.

This means that a considerable number of people believe this rumor.

Sebastian smiled, "Then I'll go to work first."

Shaar nodded.

However, Xia Ya was surprised that Sebas did not directly enter the ward, but went straight to the crying young woman, took out a face towel from his arms and handed it to her.

The young woman slowly raised her red and swollen eyes from crying, and looked at Sebastian in confusion, but she still took the face towel and wiped her tears.

"Thank you."

Sebastian sighed, raised his hand and patted the young woman's shoulder.

"Sorry, you have to experience death once in life, and he is already 62 years old, which is considered a long life. This is a very natural thing."

"I know but but"

The young woman's eyes were red again, and she covered her face with a face scarf, sobbing.

"I thought he would stay with us for a few more years."

"That's the fate." Sebastian said, "But his death is only the death of the body, and all your memories of being with him will not disappear.

As long as you remember him, he will live in your hearts forever. "

Sebastian's words seemed very convincing, the young woman wiped her eyes, looked at him and said.

"Thank you for your reassurance, you are such a gentleman."

Only then did Xia confirm that Sebas did not come to harvest the young woman's soul, but was indeed comforting him.

He folded his arms around his chest, watching this scene with great interest.

Unexpectedly, this guy is quite sympathetic, he thought to himself.

Then, Char heard Sebastian say.

"Now you should clean up your emotions and think about how to handle his funeral, so that his last journey in this world will be decent and dignified."

The young woman thought for a while, then nodded, "Indeed."

Then, a little confusion appeared on her face, "But I don't know what to do."

Sebastian smiled, took out a small card from his pocket, and handed it to the young woman.

"Here is my business card, you can take a look."

The young woman took the business card curiously, Xia Ya also used magic to look at the words written on the business card, his expression froze almost at the same time as the young woman.

It says:

【Talos Funeral Service Shop】

【Business scope: coffins, urns, mortuary plastic surgery, funeral customization.】

【Address: Cole Street 122c】

【Sebas Tiatit】

"I have provided services to many customers in this hospital." Sebastian bowed with a formulaic smile on his face, "They all gave me good reviews.

There are many grades of funeral services for you to choose from in our store, ensuring that your loved ones will go beautifully and decently. "

The young woman's head was a little dazed, she couldn't recover from the gentle and experienced gentleman just now, and contacted the funeral shop salesman in front of her.

She covered her head, "I'll think about it."

"Talos will always welcome you." Sebastian bowed and saluted.

Then, he walked into the side ward, but the young woman didn't seem to notice.

A few minutes later, Sebastian walked out of the ward and came to Shaar.

"So, is the store you said opened in the imperial capital a funeral service store?" Xia Ya asked.

"That's right." Sebastian said suspiciously, "Is it weird?"

"No, it suits you very well, or"

Xia joked: "There is nothing more competitive than a funeral service store opened by the God of Death."

"Even the god of death has to eat." Sebas smiled. "The salary I earned in Hades is too bad to spend in this world, but I still need to consume in this world, so I can only earn it by myself."

He said seriously, "You don't know that although there are many quack doctors in this hospital, the cost of treatment is really not low. Those who can live here can afford the hospital to pay for treatment.

Generally, they will not be stingy about holding a grand funeral. "

Shaar raised his eyebrows and nodded.

They stayed in this hospital for a long time. As Sebastian said, the death rate in this hospital is really not low.

Xia felt that in this era, instead of asking what disease a person died of, it would be better to ask which doctor killed a person.

They didn't come out of the hospital until after four o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's not that so many people die every time." Sebastian said with a strange expression, "It's just that Dr. Helens is extraordinarily energetic today."

Surgery in this era is naturally not as sophisticated as in modern society, and the most important thing is amputation.

However, there is no way to solve the hemorrhage, pain, and wound infection during the amputation process, because in this era there is no anesthesia technology, no disinfection technology, no antibiotics, and even blood transfusion, so the doctors here only cut and treat.

Their procedure usually starts with knocking the patient unconscious, quickly cutting off the bad leg with a saw, and waking up screaming.After the amputation, the doctor pressed a red-hot iron on the wound to make the blood coagulate quickly.

Doctors do not rely on the stability of the scalpel when performing operations, but only on "speed".

During the amputation, the patient was procrastinated, either causing the patient to die of pain, or dying of excessive bleeding, hypovolemia and shock.

Of course, there are wound infections and death.

In short, the operation must be completed before the patient wakes up.

This Dr. Helens is a famous fast knife player, but his knife today is a bit too fast.

He cut off the patient's lower limbs cleanly with one knife, and because of too much force, he cut off one of the patient's eggs and two fingers of the assistant by the way.

There was also a spectator who watched the operation at the scene and was shocked to death because of witnessing the bloody scene. The patient died the next day.

According to Sebastian, his assistant will also die from infection due to cut fingers.

It was the first time Xia Ya saw three people die in one operation.

Of course, this is only due to the constraints of the times.

This blood-handed human butcher. Keke, the benevolent doctor Helens is still very conscientious. In order to save people, he has performed [-] surgical operations without sleep since yesterday, and successfully rescued them from the hands of death. three people.

"Is there any more?" Chara asked.

"Only the last one left."

Sebastian turned his head and looked into the distance.

That is the direction of the palace.
