I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"I didn't expect there to be a clinic here. It looks a bit small, though. Could it be a shady clinic?"

On Bacca Street, the lizard man Jack stood at a distance, scrutinizing the small clinic with only the word "clinic" on its sign, his expression conflicted.

"Ouch! That hurts! If my hand doesn't get treatment soon, it'll be completely ruined!"

"If I lose my hand, no lizard beauty will ever want me, and my lizard life will be completely over!"

"But I only have three copper coins in my pocket. If I don't pay after the treatment, won't I get beaten to death?"

Jack held his scaled left arm in his right hand, his expression a mixture of conflict and worry.

Last night he encountered his eighty-first night attack in the abyss.

Although he achieved final victory, he still couldn't understand why those guys hiding in the shadows kept staring at him, this big guy with thick armor, but who was indeed very poor.

The attack resulted in a blow to his left arm.

As the iron rod bent, he also heard the heartbreaking sound of bones cracking.

This is not an injury that can be healed with a good night's sleep.

As soon as it was light, Jack, who had been tormented by excruciating pain all night and unable to sleep, immediately went out to the streets to seek help.

Being in a weakened state in the abyss is an extremely dangerous situation.

As an orc mercenary, losing an arm would significantly reduce his strength, making it impossible for him to continue in this profession.

Without a means of making a living, he may only be able to fall into depravity like those who hide in the shadows.

He had heard of the small clinic on Bacca Street in the mercenary circle.

Mercenaries are in a high-risk profession, and injuries are commonplace for them. Some injuries can be treated with just one or two bottles of hemostatic medicine, but others require the help of a doctor.

There are only seven or eight hospitals in the Abyss, of varying sizes, and each is backed by a powerful force.

The hospitals vary in strength, but at least they all have healing mages on staff, which is enough to handle most injuries.

Consequently, the fees are extremely high!

Even a minor injury can bankrupt a mercenary.

As a penniless man on the verge of bankruptcy before even being admitted to a hospital, Jack had no choice but to rule out those hospitals for now.

Trying to default on a debt in a place like that is tantamount to courting death.

The small clinic on Bacca Street is a bit different; it's said to be run by a human with no powerful backing.

However, this human doesn't possess magic, only potions. It's said that he can also perform surgery on patients, using bizarre methods, but sometimes they are quite effective.

The key point is that they supposedly offer credit here!

Jack wanted to keep the three copper coins in his pocket to buy breakfast. If he could buy them on credit, he could wait until his arm healed before taking on missions to earn money and pay off the debt.

After hesitating for a while, Jack, having no better option, went up and knocked on the clinic's door.

The clinic door opened quickly, and a beast girl opened it. She was wearing a long black dress, and two beast ears peeked out from her black hair, which made her quite cute.

"Are you a doctor?" Jack looked up at the sign with some confusion. Wasn't it supposed to be a clinic run by a human?

"No, I'm Dr. Charlotte's assistant. Do you need any help?" Vivian said quickly, her voice trembling slightly. It was her first time doing reception, and she was a little nervous.

"Yes, my life is over!" Jack nodded quickly.

"Hmm?" Vivian looked at him in confusion.

"I mean, my hand is broken. If it can't be reattached, my life is completely over," Jack said, raising his left hand with a pained expression.

"Please come in." Vivian stepped aside to let him in, her gaze then turning to Charlotte.

If it were just a fracture, she could heal him with a healing spell.

Charlotte doesn't know healing spells, and there are no intermediate-level potions on the counter that can treat fractures.

So how would he handle this patient?

As soon as Jack entered, he saw a young human, fair-skinned and looking somewhat submissive.

Pshaw! That's not what he likes!

His hopes for life rested on this weak human being, which made him feel somewhat uncertain.

He recalled some rumors that many mercenaries who entered this clinic never left.

"Doctor, please save me!" Jack said, forcing himself to speak.

"Please sit down." Charlotte gestured for the tall lizardman to sit on the stone bed beside her, and said, "Patient, describe your injuries."

Charlotte was quite satisfied with Vivian's hospitality, which allowed him to focus more on treating his patients.

The lizardman in front of me, who was over 2.5 meters tall and covered in yellowish-brown scales, appeared to have a broken left hand.

"I was attacked at night yesterday... oops, I mean ambushed. I blocked an iron bar with my arm, and it seems to have broken." Jack lifted his left hand, wincing in pain from the movement.

Charlotte reached out and touched his left hand. The tiny, fingernail-sized scales felt cold to the touch, and she couldn't feel anything except for their hardness.

As an experienced veterinarian, he had never actually treated a lizard for a fracture before!

You can't feel it, but the lizardman's arm is visibly dislocated, which means he is indeed fractured, and it's a very serious fracture.

Fracture surgery isn't considered a major operation. Charlotte has performed fracture surgeries on many cats and dogs and has considerable experience in this area.

Of course, he's not entirely sure whether this experience can be applied to the reptilians.

According to the diary, the predecessor performed many fracture surgeries on patients.

Of course, the success rate is still appalling, and often the procedure ends up becoming an amputation.

"It is indeed a fracture, but we can't confirm the internal condition, so we need to cut it open to take a look, and then reduce and fix it as needed," Charlotte said with a frown. Without imaging assistance, the uncertainty of the surgery would increase significantly.

"Cut it open and see!" Jack exclaimed in surprise.

How could this guy say such terrifying things so casually?!

"Yes, your condition requires surgery," Charlotte said seriously.

"Can't we use magic or potions to heal him?" Jack whispered.

Charlotte shook her head and said, "If what you need is healing magic, I'm sorry, I can't help you. You can go to another hospital for treatment."

Jack's lips twitched. If he had the money to go to a big hospital, would he still be here?

"This surgery won't hurt a lot, will it?" Jack asked cautiously.

"The process will be a little painful, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you." Charlotte glanced at the thick-skinned lizardman. Cold-blooded animals shouldn't have such a sensitive sense of pain, right? After all, lizards are ruthless creatures that can sever their tails to survive.

"Will the surgery definitely save my left hand?" Jack was still worried.

Charlotte shrugged and said, "I won't make any guarantees. Whether the surgery is successful or not, as well as post-operative care, will affect the final outcome."

Isn't this just being a pervert? Jack's heart pounded, but the pain in his arm made it impossible for him to endure any longer, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it!"
