I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

[Ding! Appendectomy complete! Ruth's mission is complete. Mission reward: Appendectomy experience +200! Copper coins +300!]

A system notification sounded in Charlotte's mind.

The system confirmed the surgery was successful, which relieved Charlotte.

Although the systematic surgical guidelines helped him, he was still quite excited to have his first appendectomy successful on the first try!

Thinking of the 300 copper coins reward that would be credited to his account, he felt even happier.

The 200 appendectomy experiences he received meant that he had mastered a new skill – appendectomy.

As a novice doctor, this was the first proper internal medicine surgery he had mastered.

However, Charlotte looked at the 15-centimeter-long surgical wound. Although it was stitched up very well, the wound was still very conspicuous on Lucy's fair and flat abdomen.

For a dancer like Ruth, this must be an unbearable scar.

Fortunately, there is magic in this world. As long as you have money, this scar can be removed with a scar removal spell.

"Is it... all done?" Vivian asked hesitantly, still in shock.

"Yes, the surgery is complete, and the result was quite successful." Charlotte nodded calmly.

As they spoke, Ruth, lying on the operating table, slowly woke up. She opened her eyes, looked around in confusion, and her gaze settled on Charlotte. Her voice was weak as she said, "Doctor... am I dead?"

  

"You're not dead. I've removed the damaged section of your intestines. The surgery was a success. You'll be fine after a few days of rest," Charlotte said with a smile.

Ruth was stunned for a moment, then her body seemed to be suddenly electrified, and she struggled to sit up in bed, then looked down at her abdomen.

A wound more than ten centimeters long was stitched together with fine needle and thread, looking somewhat gruesome and conspicuous.

The painkiller had worn off, and the pain from the wound made her frown.

But instead of making a sound, she laughed, looking at Charlotte with delight: "Doctor! My stomach really doesn't hurt anymore! Not at all!"

The pain from the incision was nothing compared to the pain in my stomach before.

She was certain that Charlotte had indeed solved her stomachache problem!

"Don't get excited. You just had surgery. If the stitches break, you'll have to stitch them up again." Charlotte held down Ruth, who was about to jump up and hop on him.

Seeing the smile on Ruth's face, Charlotte also smiled.

Is there anything more fulfilling or joyful than saving patients?

Previously, his patients were cats, dogs, and cattle and sheep from state-run farms; now, his patients are various races from the Abyss.

"Doctor, you're amazing!" Ruth looked at Charlotte with admiration and gratitude.

She used to think that the doctor was good-looking and had a nice voice, so she liked being with him.

But everyone else said he was a weirdo, a fraud, that he couldn't even do magic, and that he didn't deserve to be called a doctor.

Ruth didn't care about these things, but after falling ill, the first thing she thought of was the famous medical clinics in the Abyss.

I didn't come to see Charlotte today for a medical checkup; I just wanted to say goodbye and spend a little more time with him before I die.

Unexpectedly, she was diagnosed as a "forsaken person" by four medical clinics in a row, but Charlotte cured her with a so-called "surgery"!

She didn't care about the scar on her stomach; she could just find a clinic and pay a few thousand copper coins to have it removed.

"Miss Ruth, is your stomach really not hurting anymore?" Vivian couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte's appendectomy shocked her greatly, completely overturning the worldview she had built up over the past decade.

Ruth, who was judged to be "abandoned by God," was miraculously saved by Charlotte!

This caused Vivian's faith to begin to waver.

"Yes, I feel my stomach is all better now, I just need to wait for the wound to heal." Ruth nodded firmly, feeling great except for being a little weak.

Vivian's belief in studying medicine for more than ten years collapsed at this moment!

"The so-called 'forsaken by God' is nothing but an excuse for quack doctors to cover up their incompetence!" Charlotte's words echoed in her mind, resounding and deafening!

Seeing Ruth sitting up on the operating table, this living example was undoubtedly the best proof.

If Charlotte hadn't insisted on performing the surgery on Rose today, this beautiful young lady would have died in fear of being abandoned by God and tormented by illness, due to the diagnosis of "forsaken by God" by the doctors at the four clinics.

Vivian knew that her faith had completely collapsed, and she could no longer accept the idea that life and death were determined by God, or at least not solely by whether healing magic was effective.

Charlotte has proven that healing magic cannot cure certain ailments; he saved a patient through surgery.

At that moment, she suddenly understood why the Physicians' Association had imprisoned him, stripped him of his magic, stigmatized him, and expelled him from Kalva.

Charlotte and his surgery will fundamentally shake the sanctity of the medical profession and the beliefs upheld by Honkai physicians.

Once surgeries that ordinary people can learn are widely promoted, the profits and status that the current medical class has gained through monopolies will no longer exist.

Even when he was trapped in the abyss, living in danger and fear, he still insisted on performing surgery on patients and tried his best to cure each one.

Vivian looked at Charlotte, and in that instant, he seemed to be standing in the light, the most dazzling hero.

"Help Miss Ruth get dressed, and then clean up the operating room." Charlotte noticed that the cloth covering Ruth was slipping off, so she told Vivian and turned to leave the operating room.

"She's surprisingly proper in front of others," Ruth chuckled, watching Charlotte's retreating figure as she left, her gaze gentle yet alluring. "I love it."

"Have you known the boss for a long time?" Vivian asked curiously as she helped Ruth change her clothes.

Ruth nodded slightly, recalling, "The first time we met was probably three years ago. The doctor was tall and thin, with melancholy eyes, and he attracted me deeply at first glance..."

Three minutes later, Vivian helped Ruth, who had changed her clothes, out of the operating room.

"This is a recovery potion. Apply it to the wound three times a day to speed up healing." Charlotte handed a small vial to Ruth and instructed, "Don't dance for three days. You can only dance after the wound has completely healed."

"Yes, doctor, I knew you cared about me the most." Ruth nodded happily.

Charlotte: ? ? ?

This is just a very ordinary and normal doctor's order, isn't it?

He usually tells his cats and dogs the same thing after performing spaying or neutering surgery, and he also adds: "Don't let them lick their wounds."

Ruth shouldn't be so unable to control herself from doing such a thing, so there's no need to add this clause.

"So, how much will it cost?" Ruth asked.

"Surgery fee..." Charlotte hesitated. This was his first time performing an appendectomy; the procedure wasn't complicated, and it didn't consume many medications. He'd also received a 300-copper-coin reward. He said, "I'll give you 3000 copper coins."

He felt like he'd shouted too loudly, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he secretly glanced at Ruth.
