Chapter 395: Strange Breakthrough

"Students are smart, of course, it may also be that it is convenient for them to communicate with me."

Andrew was delighted - it's good to have an idea!

It’s okay to be wrong, but it’s best to have independent thinking!
Didn't he take the trouble to put so much private work into it, hoping it would cause a sensation and spark a research craze?

I just didn't expect it to come so soon, and start from within the school. But it's okay, I'll hear what the other party thinks.

"It's like this, Mr. Taylor," Augustus carefully took out the parchment, "I always feel that Muggle healing techniques are useful, but because I can't be sure and don't understand them deeply enough, I can't make up my mind."

"Aren't you going to St. Mungo's, Augustus?"

Percy's eyes widened - he shouldn't have interrupted.

But the scene in front of him was too shocking. Augustus was an excellent student known to the entire seventh grade. This guy took it as his mission to be an excellent doctor, and he managed to get grades that required all O's in his subjects.

Even though Percy was better than him in academic performance, he had to admit Augustus's strength. They had communicated with each other a lot, but now, even his classmates came to ask this guy Andrew for advice?
Of course, he admitted that he had some selfish motives - pointing out St. Mungo's was to tell Taylor that the guy in front of him was indeed not here to waste everyone's time.

He would be embarrassed to do this if it was someone else, but he felt comfortable with Andrew - the two of them had been filling in for more than a hundred hours, not to mention their private friendship. It was only a matter of ten minutes, and the worst that could happen was that he would just fill in for another day.

'Percy, you're afraid I'll dislike your unprofessionalism. Wizards who can understand the technology in the paper are all potential. How can they know nothing?'

"I really don't know much about medicine, unfortunately, Mr. Augustus."

Andrew shook his head - let professionals do professional things. He was unqualified in potions and herbs, so he could just prepare food and drinks, but he wouldn't dare to mess around with healing and saving lives.

Even a lost arm can be restored with a bottle of bone-growing spirit. How dare he command professionals?

Could he use Transfiguration to create one? That's ridiculous.
Andrew had no idea whether the wizarding world had such a concept as disinfection and sterilization. Just like Dumbledore said, he lacked a lot. He had not even learned enough of the derivative subjects required for Transfiguration, let alone medicine, which he had not studied.

Just don’t have it, is it necessary?

Andrew had never heard of a wizard dying from an infection - he had no idea what the potion could cure after he drank it.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Taylor."

Augustus' eyes lost some of their luster and he began to put away the things on his desk. Andrew shook his head regretfully and glanced at them - he was used to working in an office.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Augustus."

He called out to the other person, then took the parchment - he seemed to have overestimated the knowledge required for the initial fusion between the two.

"Just stitching?"

"Well, no stitches or anything at this point, Mr. Taylor."

"And here, um, medicine? I don't think this is appropriate - we don't have the ability to synthesize most medicines, just like Muggles can't brew potions."

Andrew used his limited medical knowledge to veto the other party's idea.

"A Muggle version of the Gut-Evisceration Curse?"

He looked at it in confusion - he didn't know about the former, but what about the latter, this thing had serious medical uses.

"Using these as initial contact is not a good idea."

Andrew shook his head, "Yes, it's very inappropriate."

He looked at the other person - there was no doubt that classmate Augustus had mastered the basic wizard healing skills and also understood what Muggle healing skills were.

So, what is the best way to get wizards to pay attention to the medical field?
A strange research direction that would not have any serious consequences suddenly popped into his mind.

It's a bit of a hassle for doctors - but as a start, its popularity should be no worse than alcohol, and I guess no wizard would object. "You can try witchcraft beauty treatment. Magic potions are very effective in treatment anyway."

"Voodoo beauty?"

"Come on, it's not a potion or magic by any stretch of the imagination."

Andrew glanced at Percy who interrupted him - you are the same as me, Mongolian doctor, don't interrupt.

"Please elaborate, Mr. Andrew."

"To put it simply, you see, some people think they are too fat and want to be slimmer, so some Muggles will use knives to cut fat from certain places and then lose weight."

Andrew tried to explain in a language they could understand.

"Cut it off?"

"That's about right... because some parts won't affect your health too much, but you have to be very, very careful and cautious because the recovery is very slow."

"Wouldn't it be fine if I just drank two bottles of potion? It wasn't caused by dark magic or some strange magical creature, it was just a simple cut, right?"

...

So I said it's unreasonable, and if you, a Mongolian doctor, keep pretending to be professional, I'll put your brother in detention! Is there anything in Gryffindor that doesn't violate the rules?

"Well, then what, Mr. Taylor?"

"It seems that there are also people who use props to cut double eyelids, but the requirements are relatively high, the wound is not easy to heal, and some tools must be used to prevent adhesion, which is especially prone to mistakes."

"Ah, we can handle this. If we make a mistake, we can drink potions to heal it."

Augustus said these words with a happy look on his face, which sounded extremely terrifying.

You think that's cutting for fun, but that's actually operating the knife near the eyes!
"Another one, face lift, shrinking facial skin. I only know a little bit about it, I don't know the details, you have to look up the information."

"I've made a note of that, Mr. Taylor."

"There are many more, and I can't remember them clearly. I need to look up detailed information. Among Muggles, this method is called medical cosmetology. There should be a lot of relevant information."

"Muggles', um, Transfiguration?"

"Absolutely."

Andrew nodded.

Using this thing as the main focus may not necessarily improve the technological level, but it will definitely be popular - and then naturally more people will pay attention to it.

It's just that - he always feels like he's starting something bad...

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Mr. Taylor. I will look up the relevant information and start researching as soon as possible!"

Augustus stood up and spoke with unusual sincerity.

He left in a hurry, saying he had disturbed us for too long, and looked excited.

There was no doubt that the prospective intern at St. Mungo's had found his way, but Andrew had no idea in which direction.

"It's better than having your eyebrows gone and then going to the school doctor. No matter how you think about it, it's still a good thing."

Andrew shook his head and sighed, then looked at Percy, "You recommended the guy, so you're taking over today's shift!"
