[Ding! Patient Lizardman Jack has issued a quest to you: heal a broken arm! Reward for quest completion: 200 copper coins! Fracture surgery experience +20! Whether to accept: Yes! No!]
The system's voice rang out.
Special rewards? Could it be another rare prop? Charlotte's eyes lit up and she resolutely accepted the quest.
Getting Lizardman Jack's approval, Charlotte's mood at the moment was tense with a hint of excitement.
Although he had been running the clinic on his own for two days, most of the patients he had received in those two days were traumatized and treated with potions, something that fell under the realm of magic.
Open the knife, it's the first time.
But what keeps the original grounded in this abyss is the very determination to dare to operate on patients.
Success or failure, at least the courage is pulled full circle.
So it wasn't just a fracture surgery, it was the first surgery he'd attempted to use his years of veterinary experience to perform on the other side of the world.
Even if it's to save the world, this surgery must be done.
At worst, this patient was given an amputation instead.
This is nothing new in the diary.
Amputations he's done, too, remember, on a puppy dog that had its left front leg crushed in a car accident ...
"Why don't you go into the operating room and lie down first, I need to do some pre-op prep." Charlotte pointed in the direction of the operating room.
Vivian immediately stepped forward and led a heavy-hearted Jack to the operating room.
Stepping into the operating room, Jack suddenly regretted it a little, the coldness of the room made him shiver, and woodenly took a seat by the surgical stone bed, looking moodily and nervously in the direction of the door.
"Surgery? And it has to be performed by cutting open the arm?" Vivian's mind was equally filled with doubt, it was a method she had never heard of before.
Even in those barber stores in the imperial capital that cheat the ignorant people, the barbers would only bleed and amputate the patients.
A patient with a fracture like this one will either be strapped with two pieces of wood to immobilize him and let him recover naturally, or an amputation will be declared, once and for all.
She hadn't heard of the means of cutting open the arm and working directly on the bone.
Charlotte, who had changed into a clean white robe, walked into the operating room and stared at Jack's scale-covered arm for a moment, frowning in thought, before opening a toolbox off to the side and starting to pull tools out.
Knives, machetes, saws, hammers, steel nails ... This patient's situation is somewhat unique and he needs to be more prepared.
"What ... are you doing?" An already nervous Jack's face went white with fear as he watched the scene.
"Your scale armor is too hard and I need to prepare more than one hand." Charlotte explained certified.
Jack's throat rolled, feeling like something was wrong somewhere, but couldn't tell what it was.
"Erin, take these and boil them in boiling water to sterilize them." Charlotte looked at Vivian and said.
"Boiling? Sterilize?" Vivian had a puzzled look on her face, but at Charlotte's eye gesture, she obediently picked up those tools and headed to the alchemy room.
Having surgery was rare enough, these pre-op preparations were even new to her.
Jack, arranged by Charlotte, lay flat on his back on the operating table, his eyes closed and a resigned look on his face.
Charlotte took all the oil lamps in the clinic and gathered them around the operating bed, but the dim light was still a bit dim, naturally no match for the shadowless lights in the operating room.
When he had the money, he would definitely have to remodel the operating room, or at least upgrade the lighting.
Surgery is a delicate job, and no mistakes can be made. If you accidentally cut the wrong artery, it will be a large-scale medical accident.
Vivian quickly brought the sterilized tools into the operating room, then stood and watched curiously.
Without the use of healing magic or potions, she wondered how Charlotte had treated this patient's broken bones.
Charlotte first took a small knife from the plate, small is relative, but it was still on the large side compared to the scalpels he used to use, more like a fruit knife, reaching 20cm in length.
Using a cleaning potion, Jack's arm was first cleaned and sterilized, then Charlotte took the knife and slashed it hard across his arm.
Squeak.
It was like scratching through hard metal with a sharp, piercing sound.
Upon closer inspection, not even a scratch could be seen on the fine scales.
Jack looked up and the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to laugh but holding back.
A weak human like Charlotte, even in the Abyss, would not be considered a threat by him.
Even if he stood there and was given a knife, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to cut through his scale armor.
Charlotte frowned as she put the knife back and fetched a machete.
The back of the blade was thick, the blade was wide and thick, and the length of the blade was close to half a meter, so it was obviously a sharp weapon for slashing people.
Charlotte padded a chopping board under Jack's left hand, then held the knife in both hands and raised it above her head.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!" Jack retracted his hand in a hurry and looked at Charlotte with a horrified look on his face.
He retracted the thought he'd just had, there was still something scary about the way the guy had his hands up with his knife, and the padded chopping board maneuver gave him the illusion that he was turning into a lamb to the slaughter.
"Your scales are too thick, so I'll need to use some extraordinary means, but of course, you can rest assured it won't be much of a problem." Charlotte relieved, pulling his claws back and placing them back on the chopping block.
"You're not going to cut my hand off with this slash down, are you?" Jack winced.
"I don't think so, right? I'll try to collect my force." Charlotte said calmly.
"What do you mean should? Have a little faith!" Jack was about to get up with one hand on the side of the bed, "I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it."
"No, come all the way." Charlotte's knife pressed against Jack's neck, "You have a serious fracture that requires immediate surgery, and as a doctor, I have to be responsible for you."
Feeling the cool touch on his neck, Jack's throat rolled and he had to lie down again.
He was unfortunate to meet such a responsible doctor.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Charlotte nodded in satisfaction and reared her knife, aiming it carefully at Jack's arm.
A bone chopper this heavy, he had only seen it at a pig killer's place, and it was usually used to chop up big pig bones.
Jack turned his face away, tears welling up in his eyes, if he could do it all over again he would never have entered this dark store, it was horrible!
Vivian subconsciously took two steps backward and covered her eyes, then peeked through her fingers.
It feels like what's coming next is going to be so bloody and violent that it's almost worse than a barbershop amputation!
But for some reason, her heart thumped faster, and she was ... actually a little bit of anticipation and excitement?
It's scarier!
Ding!
The heavy bone chopper landed on Jack's arm, Charlotte only felt like she was chopping on an iron bar, her hand was numb, and the knife directly flew out of her hand.
Looking at Jack's arm again, there was only a shallow mark on it, still not cutting through a single scale.
Charlotte shrugged it off, a little embarrassed.
Good lord, that's a full point of defense!
The intense vibration made Jack grimace in pain and jump out of bed in mischief.
"No cure! No more healing! I'm outta here!" Jack's emotions had run completely wild, he kind of saw through it, this human wasn't much of a doctor at all, and didn't even have the ability to be a good butcher.
"Wait a minute! In that case, it looks like we have to take out that sword." Charlotte reached out to stop Jack, her expression becoming grave.
