I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Back at their lodgings, Lois indeed prepared a very sumptuous late-night snack for everyone, which greatly alleviated their fatigue.

After the meal, Charlotte had Kasha do the math. After deducting the cost of the medicine, Lina and Amiro received all the revenue from their clinic visits that day in cash, amounting to 150,000 copper coins.

As for how to allocate it, that's up to them to decide.

To be fair, Miranda and Hattie, who also contributed today, received a cash reward of 4560 and 3200 copper coins respectively.

Charlotte saw 228 patients today, which means Miranda assisted him in treating 228 patients. For each patient seen, the operating room assistant would receive a commission of 20 copper coins.

"This money is too much!" Miranda and Hattie were both stunned.

"Not much, this is our clinic's standard rate. For every surgery, regardless of the patient's condition, we charge 20 copper coins per patient. Today is your first day on the job, and this is the income you've earned through your hard work," Charlotte said with a smile. "However, today is the only day we'll be paying cash directly. This is because I previously agreed with Lina and the others that they can use today's earnings as they see fit. They'll be paid today, and their salaries will still be paid monthly thereafter."

Miranda and Hattie nodded thoughtfully; they were both quite pleased to have received such a large sum of money for nothing.

Hattie had been working for the Maltz family for free, without any salary. This was the first time in her life she had received so many silver coins. They were so heavy that she didn't know where to put them.

When Miranda was sweeping the streets, her monthly salary was 1860 copper coins. She earned more than two months' salary in just one day. This kind of experience was a bit unbelievable.

How much would that be per month?

She didn't even dare to calculate it in detail.

Lina and the others looked at each other, then at the fifteen gold coins on the table. Their faces didn't show much excitement, but rather a bit of trepidation.

"Teacher, isn't this too much?" Lina asked.

If the five of them were to take these twelve gold coins, each of them would receive three.

Earning 30,000 copper coins a day? That's just too outrageous!

Vivian weighed the gold coins in her hand and said happily, "Relax, relax. I have eight gold coins by myself. No matter how you divide them, you won't get more than me. Just happily divide the money."

"You four can split this money. I've been busy all day and haven't done anything," Ino said with a smile, taking a step back.

"That won't do. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have been able to see so many patients today." Lina picked up three gold coins and stuffed them directly into Ino's hand, then looked at the other three and said, "Then let's each take three gold coins and split the money equally. What do you think?"

  

"I have no objection," Amir said with a smile.

"You two saw the most patients today, and since neither of you has any complaints, how could I, who benefited from this, possibly have any complaints?" Myron nodded with a smile.

"I... I shouldn't take so much, right?" Connie said weakly. According to the commission rules, she definitely couldn't take the same amount as the doctors.

"Connie, don't be modest. This morning you went back and forth between three operating rooms by yourself, and this afternoon you stayed in operating room number one the whole time. You even drank a whole bottle of Deep Blue Magic Potion. If you don't take this money, we certainly won't dare to take it," Amir said solemnly.

"That's right, Connie put in a lot of effort today, so you have to take the money," Myron nodded in agreement.

Lina smiled at her and placed three gold coins into her hand: "This is what you deserve."

Connie hesitated for a moment, then clutched the gold coins tightly in her hand, smiled, and nodded: "Thank you everyone."

Bernie and Kathleen watched as everyone divided the money, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Although the fees for each patient are not high, the doctor is so generous, giving each doctor a lot of money. Even the operating room assistants have high incomes that make people look forward to it.

At this moment, they became even more certain that their choice was correct.

Following Dr. Charlotte into the abyss not only promises unlimited prospects, but also unlimited financial rewards.

With the money distributed, Charlotte stood up and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. Go back, take a hot shower, and get some rest. Tomorrow we're going to the new temporary clinic with five operating rooms. Let's go all out and try to set a new record."

Holding heavy amounts of cash in their hands, everyone was full of energy. After agreeing, they all got up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Charlotte was the last to leave, and seeing Lois still lingering at the door, she went up to her and asked, "Aren't you going back to rest?"

"I'll be waiting for you," Lois said with a smile.

"Is there anything else?" Charlotte asked.

Lois said, "Lina's skills in delivering difficult births are superb. I'd like to arrange a special session for her the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll have people gather information on women experiencing difficult births throughout the entire Elf City so she can help with their deliveries. What do you think?"

"Difficult childbirth can be life-threatening, so if there's a need for it, of course there's no problem," Charlotte nodded without hesitation.

"The demand is considerable. In the Elf City, almost every day, there are women who die in childbirth due to complications. These three days can save many lives."

Charlotte pointed out that in a megacity like Elf City with a population of millions, this situation is understandable.

Lois looked at Charlotte expectantly: "I even want Lina to stay in the Elf City and be specifically responsible for delivering babies for the Elf City's women in difficult labor, so that the lives of the Elf City's mothers will be guaranteed."

"That won't do. Lina is my most prized student. She's only been learning from me for a month; she's far from being a master." Charlotte quickly shook her head in refusal. "Besides, I'm preparing to move to a new clinic and have reserved an entire floor for her as the obstetrics and gynecology department. If she leaves, I'll lose my face. The women in difficult labor in the Abyss and Kalva are all counting on her."

"I see..." Lois was a little disappointed, but quickly looked at Charlotte and said, "Then I hope you can train an excellent obstetrician as soon as possible. Whether it is Kathleen or Hattie, as long as one of them can independently complete the delivery of difficult births, I will set up an obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the Elf City for you, specializing in delivering difficult births."

"Really?" Charlotte's interest was piqued upon hearing this.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Lois retorted.

"No, not really." Charlotte nodded. "Okay, I'll train them properly when I get back, and see who has more talent in this area. When they're ready to graduate, I'll send them back to benefit the mothers in the Elf City."

Lois said somewhat embarrassedly, "This might disrupt your original plans, right? Since you're going to stay in the Elf City for three more days, would you like me to find a few more students for you? If you make a name for yourself in the Elf City during these three days, recruiting students should become much easier."

"That would be perfect. If we're going to open a maternity hospital, we'll need at least two doctors. So I'll consider recruiting two more trainees, preferably girls, as they're more suited to maternity work."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you in the next couple of days."

Lois left happily; she still had to go back and report to her master.

Charlotte also went back to her room, took off her clothes, and ran into the bathtub filled with hot water.

Having grown accustomed to cold showers, he hadn't taken a hot bath in a long time. His slightly tired body was completely submerged in the hot water, which seemed to contain some kind of medicinal herbs, greatly reducing his fatigue. He even fell asleep without realizing it.

The next morning, Charlotte woke up in the bathtub.

When I climbed out, I glanced at my skin, which had turned white from being soaked. Luckily, my neck and above hadn't been in the water, otherwise I would have definitely scared the patient today.

After stretching his muscles and drinking thirty bottles of energizing potion, his pale skin quickly returned to its normal color.

Charlotte put on her clothes and went out.

After breakfast, the group was taken to Elf Square.

On the open ground of the pharmaceutical trading center, a row of bungalows and five operating rooms suddenly appeared overnight. They were built of stone and decorated with wood on the exterior, making them look quite interesting.

A long horizontal plaque hung in the middle, which read: Abyss Medical Clinic Temporary Reception Area

Compared to the three prefabricated houses that stood on the street yesterday, this temporary clinic is much more impressive.

Behind the temporary medical clinic, the pharmaceutical trading center is under construction. The foundation has been leveled and the area has been divided, and stone materials are being delivered one after another.

Moreover, a larger banner was put up at the construction site: "Abyss Medical Center Pharmaceutical Trading Center Under Construction!"

That's right, Lois made a pretty impressive GG.

Charlotte and her companions disembarked from the carriage and saw five long queues in front of the clinic, with more than three hundred people in total.

"This advertising is really too good!" Charlotte muttered to herself. There were already so many patients queuing up before the business even opened. It seemed that today might be even busier than yesterday, and she would probably have to work overtime again tonight.

Considering there could be many patients, they mobilized all their staff today.

Kathleen and Bernie, being novices, didn't learn much amidst the busy surgeries, so they were kept out of the operating room and instead helped Kasha and the others maintain order, triage patients, and collect money outside.

Miranda continued to accompany Charlotte today. Charlotte was very satisfied with her abundant magic power. She never ran out of magic power from morning to night and could keep up with Charlotte's surgical efficiency.

Connie is with Lena today; the two of them work together seamlessly and are a very well-matched pair.

Amir and Myron originally didn't have assistants and had to handle everything themselves.

However, after learning about the situation, Lois immediately sent two high-level water magicians from the temple to help them and serve as their assistants.

This delighted Myron; he had never fought such a lucrative battle before.

Yesterday, the clinic treated nearly 700 patients, including many seriously injured, with zero deaths. The Abyss Medical Center has made a name for itself in the Elf City.

The temple also endorsed them and promoted them extensively.

The doctors' superb medical skills, coupled with medical fees far lower than those of other clinics, made the Abyss Clinic extremely attractive.

Word spread quickly, and even though the location had changed, there were still quite a few patients queuing up early in the morning.

Moreover, many more patients are still on their way.

Charlotte and Miranda walked into the middle operating room, which was even larger, more spacious, and brighter than the one from yesterday.

The lighting has also been upgraded, with eight lights pointing in different directions to provide ample illumination for the surgery.

Charlotte took out her medical kit and smiled, "Miranda, we have a lot of patients today. I'll focus more on the surgeries and be more efficient. Be prepared."

Miranda nodded: "Yes, I will do my best to assist you."

She was still somewhat surprised. Charlotte's efficiency in treating patients yesterday was astonishing. She had completed more than two hundred surgeries by herself, most of which were complex.

"Let's clean up and get ready to see patients," Charlotte said to Miranda as she took everything out.

Miranda raised her hand and performed a cleaning technique, thoroughly cleaning the operating room and washing all the instruments along with the two of them to ensure a sterile environment.

There was a knock on the door. The first patient was carried in, with a penetrating wound in his chest, bleeding heavily, and was already on the verge of death.

A busy work schedule begins with first aid...

Looking at the long queue in front of the makeshift clinic, Betty asked with some concern, "Holy Maiden, with so many patients, can they handle it all?"

"Since Kasha and the others are still issuing license plates, it means everything is going according to plan, so there's no need to worry," Lois said with a confident smile.

"In three days, the reputation of the Abyss Medical Center will surely resound throughout the Elf City. It's a pity they only stay for three days," Betty sighed.

More and more elves stopped to watch the spectacle. The new medical clinic opened by Elf Square Sang had such a long queue that it was quite eye-catching.

Lois smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Abyss Medical Clinic will soon have a branch in the Elven City. Those doctors are all members of our Elven race, and they will return."

Betty smiled upon hearing this: "The High Priest is very farsighted."

"What kind of clinic is the Abyss Medical Center? I've never heard of it before."

"I heard that he was invited to the Elf City by the High Priest. Not only is his medical skill superb, but his fees are also exceptionally low, less than half the price of other clinics."

"It's not just less than half; some injuries cost less than a tenth of the price. They're incredibly generous."

"Abyss Medical Clinic Potion Trading Center? This clinic sells potions? How effective are they?"

"Building a potion trading center in this place is absolutely impossible without the temple's permission. Anything that catches the High Priest's eye must be of high quality."

……

The elves watching were buzzing with discussion, showing great interest in the Abyss Medical Center and the potion trading center that was under construction behind it.

The five operating rooms operate with extremely high efficiency.

However, so many patients came after hearing the news that the queue was still growing.

"Number 1000, that's all for today. The rest of the patients can go home now. Our capacity is limited, and we really can't add any more patients." Martha handed out the last number and said loudly to the patients who were still arriving.

"Young lady, since we're already here, please let us see the doctor."

"Yes, it's not easy for us to make this trip. We rushed over as soon as we heard the news."

"Look at my leg. If I delay for another day, it might be ruined."

The patients looked distressed and pleaded.

"You're an emergency patient, so you can get priority treatment. The other patients can come back tomorrow morning. We'll be open here for three days, and this is the first day." Martha called the patient with a comminuted fracture of his leg who was still bleeding out separately and asked his relatives to help him to the front of the line.

"Then why is he allowed to cut in line?" one elf questioned.

"Given his critical condition, without immediate treatment he might lose his leg forever." Martha looked at the man, her voice slightly cold. "Life comes first, that's our principle. If you don't agree, you can leave."

The man lowered his head, no longer daring to argue with Martha.

The others applauded.

Prioritizing life is far more magnanimous than some clinics prioritizing money.

Martha said loudly, "Patients numbered 350 and above can come back to line up after lunch. Take your number tags with you; we call out your numbers for consultation. Patients numbered 700 and above, please come back after dinner; we also call out your numbers for consultation. There's no need to wait here all day; after all, many of you are not suitable for standing for long periods."

"Are you sure we can still come this afternoon? We won't be at the very back of the line if we come now, will we?"

"Yes, we finally got to join the queue, we don't want to leave feeling uneasy."

The patients were somewhat worried, and no one left for a while.

Martha promised, "Don't worry, all 1000 number plates for today have been distributed. Unless it's an emergency patient, no more patients will be added. We treat patients according to the order of the number plates. The order you get after queuing is fixed and will not change due to queuing again."

So, everyone, don't worry, just go ahead and do as I said. Find a cool, comfortable place to stay, and you can come back closer to the appointed time.

Upon hearing this, the patients were relieved, and those at the back of the line left one after another.

Patients who are number 700 or higher in line this early in the morning can go home and wait until they have breakfast or dinner before coming back.

The long lines in front of the makeshift clinic shortened considerably, and the pressure seemed much less.

Temple, dining hall.

Grover and Benjamin were sitting opposite each other, having breakfast, with Maria beside them.

"Seeing nearly seven hundred patients a day, Charlotte is indeed an outstanding young man. The judge's eye is quite discerning," Grover remarked.

Benjamin smiled and said, "It's not unusual for him to see 700 patients a day. The key point is that he's leading a group of elves who don't know healing magic and have only been learning from him for a month. That's the most crucial thing."

Grover looked at him and laughed, "You're the shrewd one. You let him come to the Elf City and pick students at will. After these elves graduate, they'll still have to return to the Elf City and benefit your city."

"This is a win-win situation. I promised him that I would open a clinic in the Elf City. His students can work in his clinic, the residents of the Elf City will have access to affordable medical care, and he can also earn some money. It's a win-win situation, so why not?" Benjamin smiled.

Grover laughed and said, "Should I also talk to him and ask him to go to the capital to recruit some students? That way, I can open a clinic for him in the capital and let him benefit the people of the capital."

"Unless Cromwell falls from power, it won't be that easy for you to trick him into going to the capital."

As they spoke, they both laughed.
