I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Outside the operating room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

The elves whispered among themselves, wondering if Lina would be able to successfully deliver Ellie's baby, and whether both the mother and child would survive.

Kathleen and Hattie were also very nervous. They had finally seen Charlotte save Fick's life, and it would be such a pity if Ellie and her unborn child died.

Supported by his companion, Fick looked nervously toward the operating room, hesitating several times before finally holding back, and could only helplessly clutch his hair.

what--

Just then, a cry came from the operating room.

Everyone present had a bright look in their eyes.

If the baby cries, it means the baby has been born!

"Ellie! How is Ellie?" Fick took two steps forward and finally couldn't help but ask.

"The baby has been born, but for now we just have to wait for the operating room to open," Charlotte replied, not too worried.

Ellie collapsed outside the operating room, which was the luckiest possible outcome. Given Lina's cesarean section skills, there shouldn't be any major problems.

About ten minutes later, the operating room door was opened.

Connie came out carrying a baby wrapped in a blanket, a slight smile on her face, and went straight to Fick: "Congratulations, it's a girl."

Fick glanced at the rosy-cheeked child, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes, but he quickly looked at Connie anxiously and asked, "Doctor, where's Ellie? Where's my wife?"

Connie smiled and said, "The mother is out of danger, but she is still weak and unable to walk. Go and prepare a carriage, lay out soft bedding, and take her home to rest for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Fick finally felt relieved, as if all his strength had been drained away, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, his companions reacted quickly and helped him up from both sides.

"Mother and baby are both safe! This doctor is amazing!"

"Exactly, in cases of difficult labor, it's already a good outcome if one child is saved. For a doctor to manage to keep both mother and child safe while the mother is unconscious, this doctor is far more capable than any midwife."

"These doctors are the family's greatest benefactors. If it weren't for them, it would have been a massacre."

"What exactly is the Abyss Medical Clinic? I've never heard of it before. Will I be practicing medicine here from now on?"

"Given this complicated situation, I wonder how much the medical fees will be. If it were a large medical clinic, it wouldn't be less than 100,000 copper coins, would it?"

The elves were also in an uproar. Fick was rescued from serious injuries, and Ellie was safe during her difficult childbirth. The medical skills displayed by these doctors shocked all the elves present.

Kathleen, Miranda, and the other newcomers to the Abyss Medical Center watched this scene unfold before them, listening to the cheers and exclamations of their people. Their blood boiled, and their scalps tingled.

  

Being a doctor is such a cool thing!

"Thank you so much, doctors, thank you so much for saving our family." Fick looked at Charlotte and the others gratefully, tears still streaming down his face.

On the most desperate day of his life, he was saved by Charlotte and her group of doctors.

He is alive, Ellie is alive, and their daughter is alive.

The whole family was together, and no one was missing.

"You're welcome. It's what we doctors should do," Charlotte said with a smile.

"By the way, how much do you think we need for medical expenses?" Fick asked Charlotte. He had saved up some money over the years, about 30,000 to 50,000 copper coins. If that wasn't enough, he could borrow some from his friends.

"Twenty thousand copper coins," Charlotte said.

"Twenty thousand per person?" Fick asked cautiously. This price was far lower than he had expected, after all, it involved three lives.

The elves were also amazed when they heard this. Forty thousand copper coins was much lower than other clinics, less than half the price.

Especially for women experiencing difficult labor, even if they are sent to a large medical clinic, there is no guarantee that they will survive.

Forty thousand copper coins, three lives, and a family—it's incredibly cost-effective.

Charlotte shook her head: "No, it's a total of 20,000 copper coins. 10,000 copper coins for the delivery, and 10,000 copper coins for the emergency treatment."

The room fell silent. All the elves stared wide-eyed at Charlotte in disbelief.

The cost of the medical treatment was far lower than anyone expected.

Miranda and Hattie were also incredulous. Although they had already become Charlotte's apprentices, they had not expected such a low price.

Miranda and Hattie had personally witnessed Charlotte painstakingly revive Fick, a process far more complex and difficult than a magician performing a healing spell.

But he only charged 10,000 copper coins?

If this were a doctor from another clinic, they would have charged at least fifty or sixty thousand copper coins.

The price stunned not only the patients, but also the group of newcomers.

Fick was also stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Twenty thousand copper coins in total?"

"Yes, just give the money to Kasha." Charlotte nodded, then looked at the patient who was already waiting. "Come into the operating room with me, it's your turn."

"Ah? Oh, okay." The patient with the broken arm nodded and quickly followed Charlotte inside.

"Are they angels? Why are they charging like this?"

"My God! Such severe injuries, almost fatal, and you only want 10,000 copper coins to save him? That's way too cheap!"

"Last time I broke my bone and went to the clinic, the doctor immediately asked for 20,000 copper coins, and he didn't even bother to properly bandage it up."

"Even a difficult childbirth only costs 10,000 copper coins, which is incredibly cheap. A midwife would charge 10,000 copper coins for a normal delivery."

Charlotte led the patient into the operating room, and the elves who were queuing up and watching went into complete uproar.

You won't know until you compare, and the difference is astonishing. Compared to the clinic in the Elf City, the medical expenses here are incredibly cost-effective.

"I'll go get the carriage; you two will have to lie down to get back."

"I'll go pay the bill. Fick, you don't have any money on you, I'll pay for it for you first."

"I'll go and carry my sister-in-law out."

Fick's friends were also very proactive and immediately took action.

Before long, the carriage arrived, and Fick and the child were put into the carriage first.

Ellie was carried out by Martha. She had regained consciousness, and although her face still looked a little pale, she seemed to be in good condition, with a smile in her eyes, indicating that she was in a good mood.

"Go back and rest well. Don't get out of bed for three days..." Lina followed to the carriage and carefully instructed Ellie.

"Doctor, thank you for saving my family. We'll come back to thank you again when we get better," Ellie said gratefully, lying next to Fick.

"You're welcome." Lina smiled and nodded, lowered the carriage curtain, and watched the carriage leave.

On the carriage beside them, Lois lifted a corner of the curtain, a smile on her lips, and whispered, "Teacher is right. Charlotte's Abyss Medical Clinic will be a clinic that most people like, no matter where it is."

Betty nodded in agreement, looking at the three makeshift operating rooms with a hint of regret, "It's a pity they're leaving tonight."

"Yes, it's such a pity. There are still many elves in the Elf City who need affordable medical treatment," Lois sighed.

Betty looked at Lois and said, "Holy Maiden, why not ask them to stay for three more days? With their speed of treating patients, staying for three more days would allow them to treat at least a thousand more patients, which would be a very rare opportunity for the lower elves."

Lois's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Yes! How come I didn't think of that!"

With a change of expression, she said, "Come back to the temple with me. I need to get my master's permission first."

Betty turned the car around and drove towards Elf Square.

The presence of the Fick family as the opening act for the afternoon session reassured the patients who had come to queue for treatment.

Charlotte and Vivian's arrival more than doubled the efficiency of patient care.

After a short rest, Lina returned to the operating room with Connie and began seeing patients.

With three doctors, each paired with a surgical assistant, their patient reception efficiency was quite remarkable.

Patients who were initially at the back of the line were worried about whether they would be able to see a doctor today, but as the line moved forward quickly, their doubts were soon dispelled.

However, as the news spread, more and more patients rushed to the hospital. Although the treatment speed was fast, the queues did not decrease.

The operating room door opened, and the patient thanked Charlotte and went to find Kasha to pay the bill.

After receiving the money, Kasha went to the operating room door and looked at Charlotte, saying, "Master, there are too many patients in line. There are still more than 150 people. Should we stop the patients from queuing? Otherwise, we won't be able to finish treating them by tonight."

"There are still so many?" Charlotte was also surprised when she heard this. It was already evening, and they had treated at least two hundred patients in the afternoon. How could there still be one hundred and fifty?

He looked outside and saw that the three teams were indeed quite long, each with about fifty people, totaling more than one hundred and fifty people.

What's even more frightening is that more patients are arriving one after another.

"No, we can't issue any more number plates." Charlotte shook her head and instructed Myron, who was standing to the side, "Myron, go to the back and hold them off. We can only see the patients currently in line today. Lina and Connie are probably already exhausted."

"Okay, teacher." Myron replied and quickly walked towards the back of the line. He hadn't expected so many patients to come today. If it weren't for the teachers coming to the rescue, they wouldn't have been able to handle the situation at all.

"I went to relieve Lina. After resting for an afternoon, I'm fine again," Amiro said, walking towards operating room number one.

Charlotte let the next patient into the operating room. Looking at the expectant eyes of the patients queuing up, she sighed inwardly. The world has suffered from high medical costs for too long, and the abyss is not isolated.

But he has to return to the abyss tonight, and these 150 patients will be his last patients.

"Charlotte!" Just then, a carriage arrived and stopped in front of the operating room.

Lois stepped out of the carriage and looked at Charlotte, saying, "My master requests that you continue your clinic in the Elf City for three more days. Is that alright with you?"

"Should we continue the clinic for another three days?" Charlotte looked at Lois's eager gaze, then at the patient at the back of the line pleading with Myron. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded. "Alright, we'll continue for another three days. However, we'll need to add two more operating rooms."

"Okay, I'll arrange the operating room. I'll have them built tonight." Lois nodded with a smile, not expecting Charlotte to agree so readily.

Charlotte then shouted to Myron, "Myron, give out tomorrow's numbers to the patients who come later. Emergency patients can be treated first."

"Okay, teacher!" Myron, who was struggling to refuse a patient, was delighted when he heard this and quickly agreed.

Charlotte withdrew her gaze and looked at Lois, whose eyes were full of smiles. "What do you mean?"

Lois nodded: "Yes, the Elf City needs you."

"We only have three days. The people of the Abyss still need us to go back and rescue them from their suffering," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Tomorrow I'll set up a temporary clinic for the Abyss Medical Center at the site I've chosen for the potion trading center. Think of it as a way to promote the trading center, what do you think?"

"I think your idea is very feasible, let's do it your way." Charlotte nodded, it was indeed a good idea.

The money one can earn by treating patients in the Elf City for three days is limited, but taking the opportunity to promote the Abyss Medical Hall's potion trading center is a good way to quickly make his potions famous.

Given the sheer size of the Elf City, the prospects for potion sales are very promising.

"Okay, you two go ahead with your work. I'll make the arrangements. I'll have someone bring you dinner in a bit," Lois and Charlotte said, turning and getting into the carriage to leave.

Charlotte turned and went into the operating room to resume her work.

Miranda raised her hand and cast a cleansing spell, giving Charlotte a full-body cleanse.

Having assisted in the treatment of nearly a hundred patients, Miranda is now very adept at it. At the beginning, she needed Charlotte to direct and arrange things, but now she can independently clean and treat patients' wounds according to the procedures.

As a high-level water mage, casting hundreds of cleansing spells in an afternoon was no problem for her. She was still full of magic and in high spirits.

She heard more thanks this afternoon than she had in the past two decades.

Watching patients enter the operating room with pained expressions and leave with smiles on their faces, the sense of accomplishment from participating in this process is both pleasant and moving.

In just one afternoon, she had fallen in love with the job.

Who could refuse the job of saving lives and rescuing a patient?

Hattie and Kathleen watched the whole thing, and they were also thrilled and excited.

Charlotte demonstrated a wide variety of treatment methods, dealing with knife wounds, fractures, bites, poisoning... with just a scalpel, a pair of suture needles, and bottles of medicine, she could handle all kinds of ailments for her patients.

Without any fancy magic, he can save a patient's life with his unique "surgical" treatment method combined with a uniquely effective medicine.

This medical skill broadened their horizons and built strong self-confidence within them.

They are not magicians either, but they both have skillful hands. One can cut out exquisite paper cuttings with scissors, and the other can carve beautiful flowers with a knife. As long as they study hard with their teacher, they can also become qualified doctors like Lina and the others.

The consultations continued into the night.

After seeing the last patient off, everyone at the clinic stood at the operating room door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a long day..." Myron remarked.

These words expressed the sentiments of everyone.

Lina and Amir were busy from morning till night. Although they took turns resting, they still looked exhausted.

Because there were no extra operating rooms, Myron took charge of managing the proceedings in the afternoon, and he was so tired from talking that his mouth was dry and his throat was sore.

Hattie works as an assistant in Vivian's operating room. Although her face is pale and she looks exhausted, there is still a light shining in her eyes.

This afternoon's experience was quite unique for her as well.

From a neglected and abused maid, she became an operating room assistant, helping doctors treat patients and earning their gratitude.

She never imagined that her life trajectory would suddenly change so drastically, leaving her somewhat unaccustomed to it. The intense excitement even overwhelmed the fatigue from a busy day.

Bernie, who had spent the entire day in the operating room with Vivian, was equally excited.

Before this, he was confused about how he could become a doctor, after all, he wasn't even a magician.

Vivian showed him how to treat patients without using surgical techniques, and he was confident that he could learn and master these basic skills, such as surgery and suturing.

When he realized that he could do these things through his own efforts, he gained confidence and assurance.

And as it turns out, even in the Elf City, this treatment method remains very popular.

Because it's so cheap, compared to other clinics that charge tens of thousands of copper coins for medical treatment, the Abyss Clinic's fees are generally less than a thousand copper coins, and even complex injuries like fractures only cost two or three thousand copper coins.

"You've all worked hard, go back and rest. I've prepared a midnight snack and hot water for you." Lois stepped down from the carriage and smiled at everyone.

"A midnight snack! Then I'm not sleepy anymore." Vivian's eyes lit up.

"Then you'll have to prepare more, I have a big appetite," Martha said with a smile.

"Enough is enough; if it's not enough, just have the chef make more," Lois said.

Kasha approached Charlotte and lowered her voice, saying, "Master, including the patients Lina and the others treated this morning, we treated a total of 680 patients today, with a turnover of 578640 copper coins."

"So many?" Charlotte's eyes lit up. The average amount per person was around 800 copper coins, almost double that of the Abyss.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a major city, far surpassing any small place like the Abyss.

Not only did the revenue break records, but the number of patients treated was also phenomenal, approaching seven hundred.

The addition of two operating room assistants significantly improved Vivian and Lina's efficiency in seeing patients.

Moreover, they worked overtime today, seeing patients for an extra five hours in the evening, so the increase in the number of patients is normal.

Although the revenue from drug sales is gone, the income is still enough to make treating patients in the Elf City for three days, which is not entirely unacceptable.

The potions that were sold less in these three days can still be sold after they return to the Abyss.

However, some patients who come for treatment may be disappointed, since the Abyss Clinic has been closed for five consecutive days, including the two-day holiday.
