I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Chapter 433 The Golden Legend: The Eye of CT!

This time, the trio worked together even better.

The limbus is cut open, the cloudy lens is removed, a new artificial lens is implanted, and the wound is healed using a treatment procedure.

In less than ten minutes, both eyes were done.

"Vivian, this surgery is actually very suitable for you to perform; I'm completely superfluous," Charlotte said, looking at Vivian.

"I noticed that too." Vivian nodded in agreement.

Vivian is a water mage, a healing mage, and also skilled in surgery. Once she knows the incision location, she can perform the surgery by herself.

Charlotte was indeed completely superfluous.

"Next time you encounter a patient like this, come and learn from me. Once you've mastered it, all patients with this type of eye condition will be under your care."

"Okay, I think that's a good suggestion." Vivian nodded.

"Open the door, the effects of the anesthetic are almost worn off," Charlotte said.

Miranda stepped forward and opened the operating room door.

"So fast!"

Decathlon and Helen, who were waiting outside the operating room, were both somewhat surprised, but they still entered the clinic one after the other.

On the operating table, Aldrich slowly opened his eyes.

The bright lights of the operating room made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't close his eyes. Instead, he stared wide-eyed, greedily scanning everything.

  [At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 101read.com. We have the most comprehensive book search service.]

It had been at least ten years since he had seen the world so clearly.

It's like a thick layer of dust covering a window being suddenly wiped away, cleanly and without leaving a trace.

He never imagined that one day he would regain his sight and see the world clearly again.

He looked at Charlotte standing in front of the operating table, seeing her so clearly for the first time.

"You look a lot like your mother, and you're even more handsome than your father," Aldridge said with a smile.

"That's a good thing," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Grandfather, have your eyes recovered?" Decathlon asked anxiously.

"Can you see things now?" Helen asked with concern.

Aldridge looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you can see very clearly, and you're about the same age as I was when I was young."

"Very good!"

Both of them were delighted to hear this, happy that Aldridge's eyes had recovered.

Aldridge paused for a moment, then sat up and looked at Charlotte, saying, "Your medical skills are truly amazing. How did you cure my eye ailment?"

"Of course, if it involves classified information, you don't have to answer me," he added.

"It's not exactly a secret. We just replaced the cloudy lens in your eye, like replacing a scratched, dusty pane of glass in a room. That's how you can see now," Charlotte explained with a smile.

"You mean this piece?" Aldrich looked at the two thin, yellowish-brown crystal slices on the tray beside him and exclaimed in admiration, "Such ingenuity, such bold and meticulous operation, only you could do that."

Decathlon felt both amazed and terrified; the thought of such a surgical procedure involving cutting open the eye made him hold his breath in suspense.

Helen, standing to the side, had no idea how to describe her feelings. What she was seeing today was completely different from, even revolutionary, the education she had received over the past ten years.

But Charlotte actually did it, and did it so perfectly.

The two patients achieved a 100% success rate, curing their long-standing eye ailments.

This is a disease that even renowned doctors from the medical association couldn't cure.

Just as her grandfather said, only Charlotte would dare to do such a clever idea and such a bold move. No one else with a medical school education would dare to do it.

"Thank you for healing my eyes, Dr. Charlotte," Aldridge said sincerely, extending his hand to Charlotte.

"You're too kind," Charlotte said, shaking his hand gently.

"I'll have Decathlon handle the giant red firefly net wings for you. We'll just charge you a shipping fee, as we agreed before, one copper coin per pair. What do you think?" Aldridge said.

"That's wonderful." Charlotte nodded with a smile. What else could he say? This price was practically a freebie.

Net wings are an important material for healing potions, and they were previously difficult to obtain, accounting for a large portion of the cost.

Now the price of net-winged birds has hit rock bottom, and the cost of healing potions has dropped sharply. It is estimated that the cost of one bottle is less than 10 copper coins.

After the introduction of the healing agents, the sales of first aid kits were affected to some extent. Many customers began to buy cleaning agents separately to use in conjunction with the healing agents, which proved to be more effective in treating minor injuries.

Charlotte wasn't worried about this. The healing potion cost 600 copper coins per customer, and now that the cost was controlled to such a low level, the more they sold, the better.

"We already have 5000 sets of net wings in the warehouse. I can send a truck to deliver them to the Abyss for you tomorrow," Decathlon said with a smile.

Charlotte's eyes lit up: "That would be perfect. Please deliver it to my potion workshop; someone will be there to receive it."

Aldridge glanced at Decathlon and smiled slightly.

"Oh, right, that black dog from last time," Charlotte said, looking at Decathlon.

"Its leg has fully recovered, but I haven't let it do any strenuous exercise. I plan to let it rest for a while longer before taking it hunting," Decathlon said. "I named it Blackie."

Charlotte smiled and nodded: "That's good. This dog is lucky to have met such a wealthy owner."

"I heard you're opening your potion trading center in Calva tomorrow," Aldrich asked casually.

"That doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Jenny. I'm just a small shareholder, responsible for supplying the goods," Charlotte explained.

Aldridge nodded: "Okay, I missed your clinic's opening ceremony today, but I'll have Decathlon go over to your pharmacy trading center's opening tomorrow."

Charlotte thought to herself, "Did I just explain to a dog?" But she still smiled and said, "Welcome to the event."

The name "Abyss Medical Center Pharmacy Trading Center" is indeed hard to convince others that he is just a minor shareholder.

"Where do I pay my medical bills?" Decathlon asked.

"Let's skip it this time. In exchange, I've already gotten what I wanted," Charlotte said with a smile.

"No, let's keep things separate. Our deal was that you agreed to perform the surgery on me, and I agreed to sell you the net wings. I didn't say I'd waive the medical fees as well." Aldrich shook his head and said to Decathlon, "There's a payment window in front of the waiting room. I saw them all paying there."

"Yes, Grandfather," Decathlon replied and quickly left.

Charlotte, seeing this, said nothing more. This family was indeed not short of money, and it seemed petty to push and pull over a few thousand copper coins here.

"When are you planning to go back to Calva? And open another new clinic?" Aldridge asked Charlotte.

Hearing this, Helen looked at Charlotte with curiosity. If he returned to Calva and opened a clinic specializing in surgery, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

Charlotte smiled and shook her head: "I'll go back to Calva tomorrow. The police station returned my ancestral home to me, so I have a place to live now. However, I won't open a clinic in Calva. It's too chaotic and complicated. I'll just stick with this Abyss Clinic. I don't have such lofty ambitions."

Aldrich looked at him and nodded thoughtfully. "Very well, Kalva is indeed a place of trouble. It's better to stay in this abyss and live a peaceful life."

"The Abyss is clearly the place of chaos, so why do you say Kalva is chaotic and complicated?" Helen looked at Charlotte with a puzzled expression. "With your medical skills, you could definitely find a place in the Abyss as well. Why confine yourself to this small place and bury your talents?"

"What's complicated is the human heart, not whether the houses on the street are magnificent and tidy." Charlotte smiled as she looked at her. This girl was quite interesting. Before, she looked at him as if he were her enemy. Why is she suddenly concerned about his talent being buried in this small place called Abyss? Could it be that she was captivated by his looks and talent?

"Though the Abyss is small, talented people will not be buried. Just like us, even in Calva, we still seek help from the Abyss." Aldrich also laughed, "The Abyss is too close to Calva, only five miles away. For people living in the south of the city, it's closer to here than to go to the north of the city."

Charlotte smiled without saying a word; this was the insight of a seasoned businessman, something an ignorant girl couldn't match.

"But the Abyss is notoriously chaotic and disorderly, and walking on the streets is fraught with danger. People would probably think twice before seeking medical help in such a place," Helen added.

"The Abyss has been rebuilt. It's completely different now compared to before. You can leave your doors unlocked at night and not pick up lost items on the road. You can walk down the street during the day without being robbed or dragged away." Charlotte looked at her and said, "You should still go out more often, broaden your horizons, and update your knowledge."

"I..." Helen blushed deeply, but looking at Charlotte with a gentle smile on her face, she couldn't muster any anger. She could only stomp her foot in embarrassment and indignation.

Oh no, I've been manipulated again.

Aldrich and his two companions left, and the Abyss Medical Center also closed for the day.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Conquering Cataracts! Reward: CT Eye! The accompanying processing system has been transferred into your mind!]

The system's voice rang in Charlotte's mind.

Charlotte was taken aback, but then a look of joy appeared in her eyes!

The term "CT eye" may sound a bit strange, but since it already has the eye of a surgical microscope, it's very easy to accept.

CT scans are very practical diagnostic methods. Brain CT scans can detect problems such as intracranial hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, while chest CT scans can examine organs such as the heart and lungs, and can determine whether a patient has pneumonia, lung cancer, or other diseases. They can also detect rib fractures and other problems.

For Charlotte right now, this is an extremely useful tool.

A single glance won't make a teenage girl pregnant, but it can tell if she's pregnant or not—that's the power of a CT scan.

The most common application scenario is healing adventurers in their hands.

It can determine the patient's internal condition at a glance, including the location of fractures, whether internal organs are damaged, the most suitable entry point, and whether surgery is necessary, making it accurate and efficient.

Charlotte sensed the abnormality in her left eye with a thought, and could activate it with just a thought, just like a surgical microscope.

Moreover, because this CT eye is implanted directly into his eye, the radiation that is harmful to the human body is reduced to the maximum extent. According to the system, a filter membrane is added to reduce the radiation intensity without affecting the accuracy of the test. Even if a pregnant woman is tested, it will not have a significant impact on the fetus.

"Wonderful! Luckily I made it in time! Otherwise, missing out on such a divine reward would have been a real tragedy!" Charlotte felt somewhat fortunate. If that old lady hadn't suddenly come knocking on his door today, he would have completely forgotten about it.

Before leaving get off work, Zoe reported to Charlotte on the day's patient visits.

A total of 412 patients were treated today.

Lillian then reported today's cash collection to Charlotte: a total of 243650 copper coins were collected for medical expenses today.

Kasha was in charge of potion sales, and she also gave Charlotte today's potion sales report. Today's total potion sales reached 1086540 copper coins!

Charlotte was also taken aback by the sales figures, and looked at Kasha, saying, "A considerable number of today's customers came from Calva?"

"Yes, the mercenary group leader who came from Kalva to purchase these items is very generous." Kasha nodded. "They said they learned about our clinic's potions through the Adventurers' Guild duel and then specifically sought them out."

"That's the power of GG. But starting tomorrow, these customers will be buying potions directly from the potion trading center in Calva," Charlotte remarked with some emotion.

"Wouldn't that make them our competitors?" Kasha couldn't help but worry.

"We are both the seller and the manufacturer, so why should we worry about the distributors selling well? As long as the medicine can be sold, we will always be the ones making money," Charlotte said with a smile and a shake of her head.

He wholesaled the potions to Jenny at 30% of the selling price, and he also owned a 20% stake in the potion trading center, so his profit margin was still extremely high.

For example, he would sell a bottle of gold stamina potion that costs 800 copper coins to Vivian at a wholesale price of 560 copper coins, while his cost would be less than 50 copper coins, resulting in a net profit of 510 copper coins.

After Vivian sold the potion for 800 copper coins, she would give him 20% of the net profit.

How could this deal possibly result in a loss?

Vivian was backed by the powerful channels and background of the Calva Chamber of Commerce, as well as considerable capital.

If Charlotte were to open a potion trading center in Calva, she could only do a little better than Leo and Linda, but she could never achieve what Jenny did. She made such a dazzling debut in front of all the adventurers in Calva, creating such a huge buzz, and even before the center opened, adventurers were already sourcing their products from the original manufacturers.

That's the charm of finding strong partners; everyone has their strengths, and no one can be good at everything.

Upon hearing this, Kasha smiled and nodded, saying, "I was ignorant."

"However, even if the potion center opens, I reckon some of the adventurers from Kalva will still come to our Abyss Medical Center to buy potions," Charlotte added.

"Why? Wouldn't it be more convenient to buy it in Calva?" Kasha asked, puzzled.

"Some people just have a thing for the original store. Even though it's the same thing, they always feel that the original store's products are more effective and more reliable," Charlotte said with a smile. "Just you wait and see, the more successful Karva's potion center becomes, the bigger its business will grow, and the more adventurers will come to Karva to buy potions. We'll get a piece of the action."

Charlotte looked at everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. I want to especially commend the colleagues who just joined the clinic. The clinic's operation was very smooth today because of you, which brought a better medical experience to the patients and allowed the doctors to focus more on treating the patients. You did a great job."

Zoe and Susan smiled upon hearing this. Being praised by their boss on their first day of work was the happiest thing ever.

Moreover, working at the clinic wasn't as tiring as one might imagine. The workflow was well-designed, and everyone only needed to complete their own tasks. There wasn't much of a hassle or backstabbing involved.

Participating in the process of treating patients gave me a strong sense of accomplishment.

"There's one more thing. The Abyss Medical Center's potion trading center in Kalva will open tomorrow morning. As a shareholder and supplier, I need to attend the opening ceremony, so I'll be leaving the medical center to you tomorrow. Is that alright?" Charlotte added.

"Go ahead, go ahead, with this vice dean here, there won't be any problems at all." Vivian waved her hand.

Everyone smiled upon hearing this.

"Teacher, two families of expectant mothers came to me today, wanting their mothers to be admitted to the third floor of our clinic. Both women were diagnosed by the midwives as having difficult labors. They are currently waiting for news outside. What do you think we should do about this?" Lina asked Charlotte.

"The obstetrics and gynecology ward on the third floor is set up for these patients. Let's check them in." Charlotte nodded.

"Okay, I'll go tell them right away." Lina nodded and walked quickly towards the door.

"Boss, if you admit a patient to the hospital, don't you need to send someone to be on duty here? If the pregnant woman has a sudden emergency at night and something happens at the clinic, we'll be held responsible," Vivian reminded her.

"This is indeed a problem that needs to be seriously considered." Charlotte nodded, which is also the reason why on-duty nurses and doctors exist.

"Teacher, how about this, Myron and I will take turns on duty at the clinic. Anyway, there are so many empty wards, we can just find one to sleep in. If the patients have any problems, we can help them, or we can come back to Lina," Amiro said.

Myron nodded and said, "I think this method is feasible. Anyway, I sleep well, so it doesn't matter where I sleep. It would be worrying to leave Lina alone on duty here."

"Okay, let's do it this way for now." Charlotte nodded. Amir and Myron were indeed able to handle many unexpected situations.

After all, patients' family members would be accompanying them at the hospital, and Charlotte was worried about leaving Lina alone on duty at the clinic at night.

After everyone went home from get off work, Charlotte, with Hattie's help, prepared dinner. After waiting for a while, Ino and the others did not return.

Charlotte and Kasha said, "Pack up Ino, Eunice, and Martha's meals, pack up several portions, and also bring the meals for the other people in the potion workshop. They should be working overtime tonight, I'll deliver the meals to them later."

Jenny placed a new order today, and their medicine sales have been very high these past few days, so the production pressure is still considerable.

After dinner, Charlotte rode to the apothecary workshop, where everyone was still busy making potions.

To Charlotte's surprise, Eunice and Ino were both on the high platform, each tending to one of the two furnaces simultaneously, refining potions.

Although the platform was a bit crowded, the two cooperated quite well, each refining potions without interfering with each other.

Previously, a production line was equipped with two refining furnaces and two stoves, so that one more batch of medicine could be refined while waiting for the medicine to cool down.

Now Nora can use water manipulation to quickly cool and bottle the potion, thus eliminating this trouble.

In order to increase refining efficiency, Ino clearly treated the backup production line as a second production line and handed it over to Eunice to manage.

Charlotte didn't interrupt them, but stood at the door watching Eunice's actions.

This girl has excellent control and a good grasp of the timing of adding various materials. Standing on the high platform, she looks calm and composed, no less so than Ino. She is probably refining a golden stamina potion.

About half an hour later, both batches of medicine were successfully refined at the same time.

Eunice finally smiled.

"Great job, Eunice!" Ino said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to Senior Ino's excellent teaching," Eunice said sweetly.

The audience members also had smiles on their faces.

Now they have two apothecaries, doubling their potion-making efficiency, so their wages should also double.

"Come down, everyone. I brought you dinner. Eat before you get back to work," Charlotte said as she walked in.
