"I didn't expect there is a clinic here, but it looks a little small. It's not a black shop, right?"
On Baka Street, Lizardman Jack stood in the distance, looking at the small clinic with only the sign "Clinic" hanging on it, with a tangled expression.
"Hiss! It hurts! If I don't treat my hand, it will be completely useless!"
"If my hand is broken, no lizard beauty will look at me, and my lizard life will be completely over!"
"But I only have three copper coins in my pocket. If I don't pay after the treatment, I will be beaten to death, right?"
Jack held up his left arm covered with scales with his right hand, tangled and worried.
Last night he encountered the 81st night attack in the abyss.
Although he won the final victory, he still couldn't figure out why those guys hiding in the shadows always stared at him, a big guy with thick armor but indeed very poor.
And this attack caused his left arm to be hit by a stick.
As the iron stick bent, he also heard the heartbreaking sound of bone cracking.
This is not an injury that can be healed by sleeping.
At dawn, Jack, who was tortured by severe pain and unable to sleep all night, immediately went to the street to find help.
In the Abyss, falling into a weak period is a very dangerous situation.
As an orc mercenary, if an arm is broken, his strength will inevitably drop greatly, which will make it impossible for him to continue to gain a foothold in this industry.
Without a means of livelihood, he may only be degraded like those guys hiding in the shadows.
He has also heard about the small clinic on Baka Street in the mercenary circle.
Mercenaries are a high-risk industry, and injuries are commonplace for them. Some injuries can be solved by buying one or two bottles of hemostatic potions, but some injuries must seek help from doctors.
There are only seven or eight hospitals in the Abyss, of varying sizes, and they are backed by powerful forces.
The strength of the hospitals varies, but at least there are healing magicians sitting in, which is enough to deal with most injuries.
Correspondingly, the fees are extremely high!
A small injury may make a mercenary bankrupt.
As a poor guy who was on the verge of bankruptcy before he even entered the hospital, Jack could only exclude those hospitals first.
If he wanted to default on his debts in such a place, it would be like seeking death.
The small clinic on Baka Street was a little different. It was said to be opened by a human, and there was no power behind it.
However, this human did not know magic, only potions. It was said that he could also perform surgery on patients. His methods were weird, but sometimes they were quite effective.
The key point was that it was said that he could buy on credit here!
Jack wanted to keep the three copper coins in his pocket to buy breakfast. If he could buy on credit, he could wait until his arm was healed to take on tasks to make money to pay off his debts.
After struggling for a while, Jack, who really had no better choice, went forward and knocked on the door of the clinic.
The door of the clinic opened quickly, and the one who opened the door was an orc girl. She was wearing a black long skirt, and two animal ears emerged from her black hair, which was quite cute.
"Are you a doctor?" Jack looked up at the sign with some doubt. Didn't it say that this was a clinic opened by a human?
"No, I'm Dr. Charlotte's assistant. Do you need any help?" Vivian said quickly, her voice trembling. It was her first time to be a receptionist, so she was a little nervous.
"Yes, my life is over!" Jack nodded quickly.
"Huh?" Vivian looked at him in confusion.
"I mean, my hand is broken. If I can't connect it, my life will be completely over." Jack raised his left hand and said with a painful face.
"Please come in." Vivian stepped aside to let him in, and looked at Charlotte.
If it was just a fracture, she only needed to use healing to recover him.
But Charlotte didn't know how to heal, and there was no intermediate potion on the counter that could heal fractures.
So how would he deal with this patient?
As soon as Jack entered the door, he saw a young human, white and clean, looking a little hurt.
Ugh! He didn't like this kind!
His hope for life was pinned on this weak human, which made him a little unsure.
He thought of some rumors that many mercenaries never left the clinic after entering it.
"Doctor, please save me!" Jack said to Charlotte with a stiff face.
"Please sit down." Charlotte asked the tall lizard man to sit down on the stone bed beside him, and said, "This patient, tell me about your injuries."
Charlotte was quite satisfied with Vivian's reception, which allowed him to focus more on treating the patient.
The lizard man in front of him, who was over two meters and five meters tall and covered with yellow-brown scales, seemed to have a broken left hand.
"I was attacked at night yesterday... ah, it was a sneak attack, and my arm blocked the iron rod, and it seemed to be broken." Jack held up his left hand, and because of the movement, he grimaced in pain.
Charlotte reached out and touched his left hand. The fine scales the size of a fingernail felt cold to the touch, and he could not feel anything except hardness.
As an experienced veterinarian, he had never seen a lizard with a broken bone!
It can't be felt, but the lizard man's arm is indeed dislocated with the naked eye, which means that he is indeed fractured, and it is a very serious fracture.
Fracture surgery is not a major surgery. Charlotte has performed fracture surgery on many cats and dogs and has some experience in this area.
Of course, he is not sure whether this experience can be applied to lizard men.
According to the records in the diary, the predecessor has performed fracture surgery on patients many times.
Of course, the success rate is still touching, and often it turns into amputation surgery.
"It is indeed fractured, but the situation inside cannot be confirmed, so it needs to be cut open and then reset and fixed according to the situation." Charlotte frowned and said that without imaging assistance, the uncertainty of the operation will increase a lot.
"Cut it open and see!" Jack was shocked.
This guy, how can he say such a terrible thing so lightly? !
"Yes, your situation must be treated with surgery." Charlotte said seriously.
"Just... can't it be treated with magic or potions?" Jack whispered.
Charlotte shook her head and said, "If you need healing magic, I'm sorry I can't help you. You can go to other hospitals for treatment."
Jack's mouth twitched. If he had the money to go to a big hospital, would he still be here?
"Won't this operation be painful?" Jack asked carefully.
"It will be a little painful during the process, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you." Charlotte glanced at the thick-skinned lizard man. Cold-blooded animals shouldn't be so sensitive to pain, right? After all, lizards are tough guys who can cut off their tails to survive.
"Will the operation definitely save my left hand?" Jack was still worried.
Charlotte spread her hands and said, "I won't make any guarantees. Whether the operation is successful or not, and postoperative management, will affect the final result of the operation."
Isn't this a hooligan? Jack's heart was beating, but the pain from his arm made him unable to continue to endure it, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll do it!"
