I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"By the way, it seems like some people from the Medical Association came to the Abyss looking for Roland a couple of days ago," Diana said.

"Oh? The Fran Medical Clinic got messed with?" Charlotte frowned. People from the Physicians' Association coming to the Abyss was definitely not good news. They must have come to see Roland because of the Fran Medical Clinic.

Diana shook her head: "I'm not too clear on the specifics, but the Fran Medical Clinic is still operating normally."

"And what about the medical expenses?"

"The price hasn't been raised; it's still that cheap price, so recently quite a few people have come from Calva to the Fran Medical Clinic for treatment."

Charlotte laughed and said, "With a capacity of 200 patients, even if more patients come, they'll just be bringing me business."

"I heard that both Dr. Truman and Dr. Daniel's are going out of business, and many doctors want to switch to Dr. Fran's."

"Oh? Then Roland is going to turn things around."

"Currently, it seems that the Fran Medical Center has neither agreed to nor expanded its operations."

"Roland is right. Rash expansion is not necessarily a good thing, and it may not be able to control those foreign doctors. Time is on his side; it is the doctors who are panicking now."

"I had Ivan's garment factory start its trial operation yesterday, and we're just waiting for you to come back for the ribbon-cutting ceremony," Diana added.

"That's great. We can still rush to finish production and make winter clothes. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a factory is not important. What's most important is that the products can be launched at the right time."

  

"That's what I told Ivan too. He originally wanted to wait for you to come back before discussing starting work."

"That old tailor is muddle-headed. Whether I come back or not won't affect the factory's operation." Charlotte shook her head and looked at Diana, saying, "You still need to give him some pointers on business matters; he's too honest."

"I told you back then that I wouldn't get involved in business matters," Diana said with a smile.

"You can guide him on the general direction, and give him a heads-up at key points. We're going to work together to make a lot of money, aren't we?"

"Okay, I'll take care of it then." Diana nodded. "The shops in Calva are all set up and ready to be put on the shelves for sale."

"How's it going at the textile factory?"

"The factory building is ready, and the workers have been trained. However, not all the machines have been delivered yet. I went to urge them yesterday, and they said that they could deliver them all within three days, at which time we can start production immediately."

"Your efficiency is amazing!" Charlotte couldn't help but praise.

Diana's textile factory was much larger than Ivan's garment factory, with many processes involved. The first phase of recruitment involved thousands of employees, and she also had to connect with upstream cotton suppliers and downstream yarn and fabric sales.

In less than a month, the textile factory has moved from the blueprints to reality and will be ready to start operations soon.

This demonstrates the strength of the Harriman family and Diana's capabilities; she is highly efficient in all aspects and a true career woman.

"I heard that the potion trading center you and Jenny are collaborating on is about to open," Diana said, looking at him.

"Judging by the timeline, it should be in the next few days." Charlotte nodded. "Is it that famous? Even you've heard of it."

"Jenny's actions are typical of the Calva Merchant Guild. Although it hasn't officially opened yet, it has already made a name for itself in Calva, sponsoring various events of the Calva Adventurers' Guild one after another, and is enjoying great popularity." Diana laughed, "It would be hard for me not to know even if I wanted to."

"Such a big setup must have cost a lot of money. Luckily, I didn't invest any."

"Then you've misunderstood her. The Adventurers' Guild's mercenary groups are quite interested in the finals, but they've rarely received sponsorships before. Most of them are weapon suppliers, and the sponsorship amounts aren't very high, since there aren't many large-scale weapon suppliers. This time, she's secured sponsorships and naming rights for various events, so it probably won't cost her much money. She's getting a lot done with a little money."

Charlotte pondered this, deciding that she absolutely had to go to Calva next time she returned to watch the guild war and see what Jenny had been up to.

However, if that's the case, he'll have to open a second production line for the pharmaceutical workshop.

The clinic's medicines are already selling well, and with the opening of Kalva's medicine trading center imminent, followed by the completion of the Elf City's medicine trading center, increasing medicine production is now an urgent matter.

Eunice has been brought back, but we don't know how talented she is as a pharmacist. We have to give her extra training tonight.

The pharmacy workshop also needs to be expanded, and a few more workers need to be recruited to form a new production line; these are all urgent matters.

"I need to ask you for a favor. Have Buddy contact the construction team that built the potion workshop. I plan to expand the workshop and add another production line," Charlotte said.

"Okay, I'll have him go find someone in a bit." Diana nodded, drank the tea in her cup, and stood up, saying, "You should go to work now."

"Yes, madam, I'll go move the bricks right away." Charlotte took a sip of water, got up, and went out.

Diana is so reliable. I feel at ease leaving many things to her; she's sure to handle them very well.

The afternoon's work was much easier, as most of the patients were mild cases. Charlotte began to explain some basic surgical procedures to Hannah and the others in detail, providing them with introductory guidance.

However, when it comes to surgery, the basic skills require repeated practice.

The surgeon should be able to choose an appropriate surgical incision, achieve satisfactory exposure and separation, and ensure thorough hemostasis and reliable knot tying.

Only when you have a solid foundation can you start treating patients.

It hasn't been long since Myron flattered Anna, begging her to catch mice for him to practice on.

Bernie, Kathleen, Hattie, Hannah, and Rachel are the five medical students in their second cohort.

Charlotte's plan was to have them practice the basics first, and then assign them to various operating rooms to help out and learn surgical experience.

Whoever has the most solid foundation and the best talent should be the first to get hands-on experience and start treating patients with mild symptoms.

Lena and the others have been trained to a high level. Lena is now skilled at treating injuries such as comminuted fractures, acute appendicitis, and complex open wounds. Amilo is not far behind Lena in other aspects except for not learning cesarean section. Even Myron can now handle routine fracture surgery.

Some of the more complex surgeries were beyond Charlotte's own skill level, so it's hard to say how she could teach them.

There's no way to teach limb replantation right now, and Charlotte's eyes can be transformed into a surgical microscope—this is a system reward that can't be replicated.

Suturing blood vessels and nerves is beyond the capabilities of conventional vision and requires the assistance of magnifying instruments.

Charlotte plans to ask a technician to make a custom-made adjustable-focus head-mounted microscope, which, if feasible, would allow Lina and the others to operate it as well.

If all goes well, Bernie and his team will be able to master basic surgical skills within a month, thus relieving some of the clinic's patient load.

Charlotte will choose a suitable candidate from among the four female students to learn cesarean section techniques from Lina, striving to provide the Elf City with a professional savior for difficult births as soon as possible.

Lois and Benjamin were so dedicated to his apprenticeships and employee recruitment that he naturally had to reciprocate by responding to their needs promptly.

Difficult childbirth is a life-threatening problem, and it is ultimately impossible for Lina to fully cover it by going back to stay for three days each month. If an obstetrician were stationed there permanently, many problems could be solved.

By 5 o'clock, all patients had been seen.

Charlotte announced that she was off work, but instead of letting them leave immediately, she asked them to gather in the waiting hall.

"Lina, Amiro, when you have time, give the younger students some pointers on the basics. You've just come from being complete beginners and have accumulated a lot of experience and lessons. Try to pass on as much useful knowledge as possible to them so they can get past the beginner stage as quickly as possible," Charlotte said to Lina and Amiro.

"Okay, teacher." The two nodded.

"Teacher, what about me?" Myron asked softly.

Charlotte looked at him: "You can also share some experiences with them on how to get out of trouble, how to encourage yourself, and how to please Anna. These are indeed important lessons learned."

Myron: "..."

Charlotte smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard today. You can go back now. I still have a few interviews to do. I'll cook when I get back. Kasha, stay behind. If we find suitable candidates, you'll need to do their pre-job training."

As everyone left for the day, Diana led six people inside.

The three men and three women were all young people in their early twenties, and all had rather pretty faces.

Diana sat down on a chair with a smile and looked at Charlotte, saying, "Let the people I picked for you introduce themselves."

"Alright." Charlotte nodded, gesturing for Kasha to sit down as well, and looked at the six young people, saying, "Let's start with the one on the left."

"Hello Dr. Charlotte, I'm Susan. I've been selling candy at the candy shop for five years and can accurately remember the prices of 308 kinds of candy. I've been the top-selling candy seller for three consecutive years," the first girl introduced herself.

Charlotte looked at the girl with freckles on her face, wearing pigtails, and a very approachable smile, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, Susan, you're hired. You will be in charge of potion sales at the Abyss Medical Center."

Susan's mouth was slightly open, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face. She had done a lot of preparation and had considered that Charlotte might ask her many complicated questions.

Charlotte accepted her job immediately after hearing only her self-introduction.

"Don't be too surprised. If you can accurately remember the prices of 308 kinds of candy and recommend them to customers who need them, then you can definitely remember the prices of the twenty-odd kinds of medicines on our shelves and recommend them to customers who need them. You are the person I need." Charlotte said with a smile, "I like your smile, and I hope you can keep this sincere smile in your work."

Susan was touched and nodded, saying, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will try my best."

Charlotte nodded and looked at the second woman. She was probably an orc, but her features were not obvious. She was over 1.75 meters tall, which was quite outstanding among girls. However, her frame was not wide. She was wearing a bodycon skirt, which made her look tall and elegant, with a very good temperament.

"Hello Dr. Charlotte, I'm Zoe. I've worked as a receptionist in the lobby of Harriman Bank for five years and I'd like to apply for a receptionist position at the clinic," the woman introduced herself, her voice gentle and not seductive, like a spring breeze.

"The reception work at the clinic is relatively more complicated. It involves issuing numbers and assessing patients' symptoms to accurately guide them to the right doctor," Charlotte said, looking at her. "The work is quite demanding, and you'll need to learn some medical knowledge. Are you sure this is the job you want to switch to?"

Zoe nodded without hesitation: "I like challenging work. Money exchange reception has reached its peak for me, there's no room for further advancement. I think Abyss Medical Clinic will be a major turning point in my career."

"Very good, I like your enthusiasm." Charlotte nodded. "Congratulations, Zoe, you've been accepted. Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of the front desk reception at the Abyss Medical Center."

Zoe smiled and gave a slight bow, saying, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

The third girl introduced herself: "Hello Dr. Charlotte, I am Lillian. I have been working as a cashier in the restaurant for five years and have good mental arithmetic skills. I hope to apply for a cashier job at the Abyss Medical Clinic."

"How many cashiers does that restaurant have a day? How many customers does it serve at its peak?" Charlotte asked.

"Malt Restaurant has two cashiers, and the busiest they've ever served is eighty-two tables of customers in a single meal," Lillian replied.

"Kasha, give her a quiz," Charlotte said.

Kasha pondered for a moment and said, "The price of the Ice Blue Magic Potion is 800 copper coins, the price of the Healing Potion is 600 copper coins, and the price of the Antidote Potion is 2000 copper coins. A patient bought eight Ice Blue Magic Potions, twelve Healing Potions, and seventeen Antidote Potions. How much should he pay?"

"47600 copper coins," Lillian blurted out.

Kasha nodded, indicating that the answer was correct.

Charlotte immediately said, "Congratulations, Lillian, you've been accepted. Starting tomorrow, you'll be working as a cashier at the Abyss Medical Center, and Kasha will be your supervisor."

"Don't you... need to take another test?" Lillian was a little surprised. She had only answered a very simple question, even simpler than the price of a table full of dishes.

"No need. Although the question is simple, it's the most practical situation in the Abyss Medical Center setting. You've already proven that you can handle this job with ease, so you're exactly the person I need," Charlotte smiled. "Besides, I know your abilities excel in this area, and you'll naturally need to use those abilities in the future."

"I understand." Lillian nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you, thank you, Sister Kasha."

The fourth person was a handsome young man who looked sunny and cheerful. He smiled at Charlotte and said, "Hello, Dr. Charlotte. I am Saipan. I used to work as a salesman at a fruit shop and was the top salesman for the past three years. I hope to apply for a job as a pharmacy salesman."

"Great, you've been accepted." Charlotte nodded.

"Thank you for your trust." Sebai nodded slightly.

"Hello doctor, I'm Reggie. I've been an accountant at Harriman Money Exchange until today. I'm here to apply for the accountant position at Abyss Medical Center." The fifth young man looked shrewd and composed, and his voice was very calm.

Charlotte needed a cashier, so Diana poached the bank's accountant for him; she was definitely one of the best accountants in the Abyss.

The clinic's daily turnover has now reached hundreds of thousands of copper coins, and with the opening of the two major potion trading centers and the expansion of the potion workshop, he really needs an excellent professional accountant to help him manage various accounts.

Kasha is very talented, but without systematic learning and practice, asking her to prepare financial statements and analyze various profit and loss issues is clearly asking too much of her.

"Have you been kidnapped? If you don't want to, just blink, and I won't force you," Charlotte said, looking at him.

Reggie paused for a moment, looking at Charlotte with a slightly hesitant expression.

"The clinic's daily turnover is around several hundred thousand copper coins, and it should continue to grow after moving to the new clinic. I also have a potion workshop that produces thousands of different potions every day. I also have two large potion trading centers under construction in Kalva and the Elf City." Charlotte looked at them seriously and said, "I need a professional accountant to help me sort out these accounts. Can you do this job?"

Reggie's eyes lit up immediately, a hint of excitement and anticipation in them. He nodded instantly: "Capable!"

Charlotte smiled and nodded: "Very good, congratulations Reggie, you've been accepted. You'll be working as an accountant at the Abyss Medical Center, reporting directly to me."

"Thank you for your trust," Reggie said respectfully, bowing slightly.

Charlotte looked at the last young man.

"Hello doctor, I'm Anakin. I'm a magic materials salesman with pretty good sales performance. I have a deep understanding of potion materials, and I believe I'm capable of handling the potion sales job," the young man introduced himself with a smile, his smile exuding confidence and composure.

"Which apothecary did you work at before?" Charlotte asked.

"Lessing Materials Shop," Anakin replied.

"Lessing Materials Shop, one of the top magician materials shops in the Abyss. Very good, Anakin, you've been accepted as well. You'll be working as a potion salesperson at the Abyss Medical Center." Charlotte nodded.

"Thank you for your trust," Anakin said with a smile.

The interview process is extremely quick, with each person only asked a few questions, and the acceptance rate is 100%.

It wasn't that Charlotte was rash, but rather that Diana was simply too honest.

Who are these people?

Top sellers in each shop! Experienced accountants at the money exchange! Cashiers at a popular restaurant! Receptionists at the money exchange!

If we're talking about stealing someone's partner from your own backyard, then it has to be Diana.

Charlotte certainly couldn't find such talent on her own; it far exceeded her expectations of borrowing a few people from Diana to handle the situation.

Charlotte looked at the six people and said, "Welcome to the Abyss Medical Center. I will tell you the salary standard tomorrow morning. It may not be very high, but I will guarantee that it will be higher than your original positions, and I will provide you with some room for advancement."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

They had already reached the ceiling in their respective positions, and now that they've come to the Abyss Medical Center, they're starting at the same level as before. Moreover, Charlotte has promised to provide them with some room for advancement.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Kaisa, the sales director and financial director of our Abyss Medical Center. Apart from Reggie, who reports directly to me, she will be responsible for assigning tasks to the other five of you." Charlotte then introduced Kaisa to everyone.
