Chapter 133 Amendolara’s Medical Problems
"Since you said that Gnainat is a Picosian, how could he compete for the position of the leader of Grumentum?" Asistes asked doubtfully.

Izam deliberately let it slip just now, and now he grinned: "Because Akpiru married his daughter to Gnainat in order to make Picosis his ally, so Grumentum and Picosis The great chiefs of Kosis became relatives, and Gnainat became Akpiru's son-in-law. I heard that Xinsinag also bribed several chiefs in Grumentum, so Gnainat also With the support of some tribes in Grumentum, Lusau had no choice but to ask Potentia, another powerful tribe in Lucania, for help, and Cincinnag immediately asked Potentia for arbitration. , but Potentia has not expressed its position. Now both sides are gathering their troops. The businessmen and sailors say that a war may break out in Grumentum at any time to decide who is the leader of Grumentum! "

Daves did not expect that a war of annihilation would not only split the Lucalia Alliance, but also change the power structure in the Lucalia region. Now there are undercurrents surging there, which is a great opportunity for Amendolara.

"Can you draw a map of Lucania?" Davos asked urgently. Before Izam left, he repeatedly warned him.

"Okay." Izam said firmly.

So, the three of them came to the dirt floor in the courtyard of the house. Izam carefully sketched on the ground with a wooden stick, while Asistes stood aside with parchment and pen. When Izam finished drawing, he would Draw the map on paper.

Davos looked at the map carefully while listening to Yizam's explanation.

He discovered that the mountain road to the west of Turiyi did not lead directly to Laos, but was between Laos and Niutum.The city of Laos is at the mouth of the La River, guarding the land passage from the Bruti region to Lucania, while the city of Vig in Bruti is a barrier for the Bruti people to prevent the invasion of the Lucarians.Compared to Laos, Niutum is more important to Amendolara because it guards the passage northward into Lucania. Only after Amendolara captures it can it control further occupation. Only in the Lucania region will there be many choices...

"Izam, the information you brought is very important. You have made great contributions to the city-state! I have decided to set up a reconnaissance team, and you will be the captain. There are only 20 people in the team for the time being. You can go to each brigade and choose. If you don't let go, you Let him come to me!" While praising him, Davers also immediately fulfilled the promise he made.

"Thank you, Lord Consul!" Izam almost jumped up with excitement.

"Go back quickly. Your wife must miss you very much after being away from home for more than ten days! By the way, a waterwheel has been built by the Xinni River to divert water to your fields. You don't have to worry about carrying water anymore. !”

"Great!" Izam was so happy that he was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute!" Davos stopped him, asked the slave to bring two large jars of wine, and said, "Since you like drinking wine so much, take it back and drink it slowly."

Izam expressed his thanks again, then hugged one of them unceremoniously and went home happily.

"Sir, this boy is too rude!" Asistes was dissatisfied with Izam's previous behavior in the living room.

"He is still a Dukeian." Davos smiled and said: "Yasi, don't pay too much attention to these superficial things. The key is to look at here and here."

Davos pointed to his chest and head and said: "Izam has successfully completed the task I assigned. This is not easy. He is a talented young man! As long as he has talent and is not a bad person, we must Use him, are you right?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Now that you know the situation in Lucania, how should we attack it? You go back and think about it carefully. Come over tomorrow and we will discuss it together."

....................................

After Cunogorata finished breakfast, he suddenly felt discomfort in his chest, so he had to be helped by a slave and went to the "hospital" in Amendolara to see a doctor.

The hospital is also located below the city of Amendolara (because it is a mountain city, it is divided into upper and lower areas), close to the city gate.I heard that in order to support the development of the hospital, Consul Davos specially approved two empty houses next to each other and gave them to Helps and others to build the hospital.

Kunogolata had heard rumors about the superb medical skills of Davos mercenary doctors in Turiyi, but when he arrived at the hospital station, he was shocked by the sight before him: patients lined up from the door to the foot of the mountain. , a long dragon with hundreds of people, even affecting the entrance and exit of the city gate.The people of Amendolara saw business opportunities in this. They set up stalls near the hospital, selling food, syrup, rental wooden chairs, hats, etc. It actually formed a small market here, which was very lively.

Inspector Antonios once reported this matter to Davos. Apart from sending more patrols to maintain order, Davos had no other option for the time being. He could only order Supervisor Alexis to complete the construction of the warehouse hotel. , giving priority to building a large hospital next to it, relocating the hospital at this time, and restoring traffic in the city.

The loyal slave had no choice but to rent a wooden chair and let Kunogolata sit down. He went in to find a doctor to see if he could take priority care. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the patrol member responsible for maintaining order as soon as he arrived at the door.After learning about the situation, he expressed his inability to do anything and said: "There are many people who come here to see a doctor who are more serious than your master, and they are also queuing up here in order. Unless it is life-threatening, no matter who it is, they can only Line up outside!”

The slave reluctantly received a number plate and returned to Cunogorata. Unexpectedly, the source of the patients in Amendolara Hospital was not only the people of Amendolara, but also mainly Turiyi and Heraclea. Among the patients The Turiyi people saw Kunogorata sitting next to him, recognized him, and started shouting insults. For a while, the situation was a bit chaotic, and the sentries at the city gate were provoked.

Kunogorata was so angry that he didn't even bother to get sick and went home.But at night, I started to feel slight pain in my chest and I couldn't sleep well all night.I had no choice but to rush to the hospital early the next morning, only to find that the entrance to the hospital was deserted. I asked the nurse responsible for staying behind, and found out that Archon Davos would give a lecture to the doctors this morning. In order to let them concentrate on learning and discussion, this day Not seeing patients.

Since the doctors' lectures were not as public as those of the Pythagorean disciples, and were open only to doctors and nurses, Kunogorata was unable to enter, and he had to consider himself unlucky.

After returning home, by noon, Kunogorata not only felt chest pain, but also had difficulty breathing. He could no longer get out of bed. His son Sostatus had no choice but to force his way into the doctor's meeting.

Davos, who was seeing the doctors having a heated discussion and exchanging medical advice, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly sent Helps to Kunogorata's home to see a doctor.

Helps inquired about the condition in detail, and after careful physical examination, he finally determined that Kunogorata had bone fractures in his chest and ribs after being beaten severely before, but they were not treated. After arriving in Amendolara, he did not take good care of himself. After resting, he went hiking again, resulting in a fractured sternum and broken ribs that punctured his lungs, causing Kunoglat's current condition. With the diagnosis, Helps treated him, and Kunoglat's His condition began to improve, and he repeatedly praised Helps for his superb medical skills.

At this time, Davos, who was in the hospital, discovered some problems in the newly established hospital through the difficulty of medical treatment in Cunogorata: First of all, although the reputation of Amendolara Hospital is now well-established, It has also brought some other economic benefits, but it is more difficult for Amendolara citizens to see a doctor than before (because there are more foreign patients). This should not be done because it cannot reflect the sense of superiority of being an Amendolara citizen. Fortunately, Discover it in time now, otherwise the citizens will accumulate resentment over time. This resentment will be directed at Davos. After all, it was he who initiated the establishment of the hospital, and he is also the nominal teacher of the doctors, so Amendo must be established in the hospital. Special access for Lara citizens. Citizens of Amendolara must give priority to medical treatment regardless of the severity of their illness!Prioritize treatment!It is to let patients in other city-states see the privileges of being a citizen of Amendolara, and let them know the happiness of being a citizen of Amendolara!

Secondly, during medical lectures, doctors must stay in the hospital to treat emergency patients.Moreover, medical lectures should not be too frequent, so as not to affect normal medical treatment and treatment.

Thirdly, regarding the problem of too many patients to read in one day, Davers thought it was actually a good thing, as it could increase income for hotels and other industries in Amendolara.However, the failure of serious patients to receive timely treatment will indeed affect the reputation of the hospital. The best and only way is to increase the number of doctors.Amendolara Hospital currently has six doctors. It takes time to train a good doctor (not counting witch doctors and wandering doctors). It is impossible for Amendolara to train new doctors immediately in the short term, so they can only recruit new doctors. Doctors from other city-states.If the reputation of Amendolara Hospital continues to expand, it will naturally attract doctors from other city-states to study. Then a proposal can be passed in the Senate: For foreign doctors who are willing to stay in Amendolara, the hospital will accept them as official students. , opening up all medical theories, medical records, and research contents to him, and the city-state will immediately grant him Amendolara citizenship, and may also consider extending the scope of this citizenship to teachers.Doctors and teachers are both highly qualified talents in this era, and are essential talents for the survival and development of a city-state. However, Amendolara lacks both, especially teachers.

Note: At the end of the Roman Republic, when Caesar was in power, he issued a bill specifically to grant citizenship rights to doctors and teachers from foreign countries.
