I opened a clinic in the Abyss World
Chapter 3 The Great Injustice: The Minotaur
Charlotte took two steps back, watching the massive body crash to the ground before her.
"Hey? Doctor, why didn't you catch me?" The minotaur lying on the ground looked up, his face full of resentment.
"Sorry, this is beyond my capabilities," Charlotte said, shrugging.
Is this minotaur with a black bull's head, a body over three meters tall, and a weight of no less than a thousand kilograms, expecting some kind of princess carry?
He's just a weak human who can't use magic right now.
Charlotte looked at the minotaur lying on the ground, his body covered with bloody wounds, the longest of which was nearly half a meter long, varying in depth, with blood still gushing out, mixed with sand and stones, and one of his white bull horns had been broken off.
It looked like he had just been ganged up on and hacked to pieces; it was a gruesome sight.
"How did you get this injury?" Charlotte asked, helping the minotaur up from the ground.
「我老婆去会所找男魔被我发现,我把男魔揍了一顿,然后我老婆就把我砍成这样了……我……我和她在一起三十多年了,竟然还不如一个认识三天的马头人!都说牛头不对马嘴,他们根本不配。我那幺爱她,她为什幺要这样伤害我……」牛头的情绪突然崩溃了,哭的稀里哗啦。
"What a complete traitor!" Charlotte exclaimed, stunned.
His wife was having sex with a male prostitute at a club, which was bad enough, but to be caught cheating and then get hacked to pieces by his wife was truly a miserable experience.
"Please accept my condolences," Charlotte could only offer words of comfort, and began to examine the minotaur's wounds. They were caused by sharp weapons, and a quick glance revealed that there were more than a hundred wounds.
It's hard to believe that it was done by one person.
Fortunately, although there were many wounds, each one avoided vital organs. The cowhide was tough enough, and the strong muscles were too firm, so no bones or internal organs were damaged. That's why the minotaur was able to come to him for treatment on his own.
"Doctor, please sew up my wound quickly, I feel like I'm bleeding to death." The minotaur said, panting heavily as his emotions calmed down a bit.
[Ding! The Minotaur patient has issued you a quest: Clean and suture 108 wounds! Quest completion rewards: 1. 108 Copper Coins 2. +108 Cleaning and Suturing Experience.]
The system's voice sounded again.
Charlotte's eyes lit up, and she decisively accepted the task without showing any unusual expression.
Paying money and giving experience points—this is a deal you can't miss!
The operating room environment was too harsh, so Charlotte had the minotaur sit on the stone bed next to her, while she turned around and took a few medicine bottles and suture supplies from the medicine cabinet.
The minotaur's wounds looked frightening, but they weren't as exaggerated as he described. Some of the smaller wounds had already clotted and stopped bleeding, but the several half-meter-long gashes on his back were rather terrifying.
Charlotte was a little nervous about treating someone for the first time.
But looking at the minotaur's bull head with its brass nose ring, I suddenly felt less nervous.
This isn't even human!
This cow's head bears a resemblance to the old black cow at the livestock station; it was he who dealt with the animal trap it stepped on last time.
As for debridement and suturing, he has accumulated a wealth of experience in sterilization surgery.
First, rinse the wound with a cleaning agent to remove any contaminants that have entered the wound.
Charlotte didn't know what the original owner's cleansing potion was made of. The minotaur grimaced in pain, his black face turning pale.
"Doctor...doctor, is this medicine expired?" the minotaur asked, trembling.
Charlotte glanced at the potion bottle in her hand and calmly said, "There's still one day left."
The minotaur's lips moved, but he suppressed the urge to curse.
After cleaning the wounds, Charlotte took another bottle of blue potion and poured it on each wound.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the wounds that were still bleeding stopped at a visible speed, small wounds quickly scabbed over, and large wounds began to grow fresh granulation tissue.
This is a basic hemostatic agent, a highly effective medicine for treating external injuries.
Because of the large number of wounds, Charlotte used three bottles.
The next step is to close and suture the wound after the bleeding has stopped.
This step stumped Charlotte.
The minotaur's hide was incredibly thick; Charlotte took the sharpest sewing needle from her bag and used all her strength, but she still couldn't pierce it.
Charlotte: ...
Tauren: ...
Charlotte bent down and rummaged through the toolbox, pulling out a hammer and a large suture needle as thick as a steel nail.
"What...what are you going to do!" The minotaur's face showed fear, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, it's just a small tool I need to borrow, it'll be done soon," Charlotte said with a smile as she stepped forward.
"I...I'm not getting treatment anymore...I'm leaving..."
"No, we're already here. You have to be cured before you can leave. I won't give up on you."
Ding ding ding ding!
The crisp knocking sound echoed in the small clinic, accompanied by the minotaur's terrified screams.
An hour later.
Charlotte looked at the fine stitches on the minotaur's body and nodded in satisfaction: "Absolutely perfect."
"Is it over?" The minotaur looked at Charlotte with fear in his eyes. This little human had become terrifying in his eyes at this moment.
"Yes," Charlotte nodded. "Wound cleaning costs 100 copper coins, three bottles of hemostatic medicine are needed at 100 copper coins each, and 108 stitches are required, costing 216 copper coins. Total: 616 copper coins."
The minotaur rummaged through his body for a while before finally pulling out two silver coins and four copper coins.
"This is all I have." The minotaur placed the money on the counter.
"We're still short 412 copper coins," Charlotte said calmly, glancing at the money on the counter.
"I'll pay you back on credit for now, I'll definitely pay you next time," the minotaur said with a forced smile, and began to move towards the door.
Charlotte slammed the door shut and shook her head, saying, "It's a small business, no credit. If you don't have money, you can use other things to pay the debt, as long as the value is appropriate."
Once she's outside that door, Charlotte has no chance of finding that minotaur again.
"Other things?" The minotaur looked at Charlotte, his expression shifting and struggling, sometimes revealing a fierce look.
"I know what you're thinking, but if you kill me, you might not be able to find a doctor next time you get attacked," Charlotte said calmly.
The minotaur's expression changed upon realizing his intentions had been exposed. Reluctantly, he took a piece of snow-white bull horn from his bag and placed it on the counter. "Then I'll use my bull horn to settle the debt. I'll come back to redeem it when I've earned enough money."
[A broken horn from a minotaur, suitable for crafting and weapons. Medium quality. Value: 500 copper coins.]
Charlotte stared at the bull horn, when a note suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
"Deal. I'll hold it for you for three days. If you don't redeem it within three days, I'll sell it." Charlotte put away her horns, and a smile returned to her face. "Abyss Clinic, welcome back next time."
"I'll be back in three days!" The minotaur stormed off, his half-horn looking rather comical.
[Ding! The Minotaur's wound cleaning and suturing quest is complete. Rewards: 1. 108 Copper Coins; 2. Wound Cleaning and Suturing Experience +108. Famous Doctor Influence: +10]
[By overcoming difficult suturing conditions and successfully completing the suturing mission, a hidden reward has been triggered: a set of surgical suture needles. Quality: Rare. Characteristics: Penetration +10, unlimited suture thread.]
Charlotte first checked the cash that had been deposited to make sure the amount was correct before picking up the silver metal box that had appeared on the counter.
Round needle, angled needle, straight needle.
Three gleaming silver surgical suture needles lay quietly in the box.
The sharp needle tip exudes a chilling aura.
"This is good stuff!" Charlotte's eyes lit up, and she reached out and picked up a suture needle.
The needle comes with built-in sutures, and according to the system description, it can be used indefinitely—truly magical technology.
The most crucial aspect is the +10 penetration attribute.
If we had had this magical tool when we stitched up the minotaurs, we wouldn't have had to use a hammer.
I never expected that treating someone would yield such rare equipment; this is truly an unexpected delight!
Charlotte put away the suture needles and mopped up the blood-stained floor.
"Once the clinic is running smoothly, I must recruit a nurse who knows cleaning magic," Charlotte thought to herself as she leaned against the counter after finally cleaning the clinic.
Magic is the primary productive force in this world.
Although Charlotte has lost her memories related to medicine and potions, her memories of magic remain vivid.
The original owner was once a fourth-tier high-level mage. The injuries he suffered from the minotaur were easily cleaned with a water-based cleansing spell and then a casual holy light healing spell, leaving no trace of a scar.
Of course, the fees will be relatively higher; you can't hire a doctor who knows high-level healing magic for less than 10,000 to 20,000.
He originally had a bright future, but he chose to court disaster.
孽 孽!
Charlotte sighed inwardly. The path to rebuilding his magic was now blocked. His magical origins had been stripped away, and he had lost his affinity for magical elements.
This is tantamount to the cruelest punishment for a magician.
Of course, healing magic is not a panacea.
Magic is often powerless against internal bodily lesions and infections of unknown origin.
At this point, doctors often attribute it to divine intervention, something that cannot be changed.
After the medical association became associated with the clergy, it virtually monopolized the medical profession.
The scarcity of specialist doctors and the exorbitant cost of treatment leave ordinary people with virtually no access to medical care, while doctors amass huge fortunes.
Charlotte championed surgery and used medicine to treat patients, attempting to reform healthcare and make ordinary people doctors. This behavior crossed the line of the Medical Association, so it was no surprise that she was targeted.
"Your idea is correct. Even without magic, doctors can still heal and save lives," Charlotte thought to herself.
The Physicians' Association is a hidden threat to him, and it is also very necessary to investigate why the original owner died suddenly, thus allowing him to transmigrate here.
He didn't want to die again for no reason.
Of course, he did not reject magic.
If surgery could be combined with magic, that would be perfect.
Water-based wound cleaning techniques simplify external wound care, and perfectly healed wounds can prevent various postoperative infections, making it a boon for women who value beauty.
Charlotte desperately wants an assistant who can use healing magic.
Unfortunately, such a magician could never appear in the abyss, much less become an assistant to this disgrace to the medical community.
The clinic had just been cleaned when there was a knock on the door.
Charlotte immediately put on a professional smile and opened the door.
Outside the gate, a female minotaur was supporting a horse-headed orc, pleading urgently, "Doctor, please save my sweetheart!"
"Hey? Doctor, why didn't you catch me?" The minotaur lying on the ground looked up, his face full of resentment.
"Sorry, this is beyond my capabilities," Charlotte said, shrugging.
Is this minotaur with a black bull's head, a body over three meters tall, and a weight of no less than a thousand kilograms, expecting some kind of princess carry?
He's just a weak human who can't use magic right now.
