Chapter 3378: Miracle Doctor (Part 33)

"Number 20! Is Operating Room Number 20 there?!" Shiler held the list and shouted at the wall of pipes.

A faint response came from one of the pipes. Shiler pushed open the counter door, walked over, and shouted into the passage: "Your medical record says you successfully cured a case of pulmonary purple fungus parasitism, right?"

Hearing an affirmative response from the other end of the passage, Shiler said: "There is another case here, the infection site is in the abdominal cavity. Can you do it?"

Some sounds came from the opposite side, Shiler listened carefully, it seemed like one doctor was resting. So he said: "Is it okay to arrange the surgery for you in two hours?... Okay, then I'll note it down first."

Shiler walked back and said to the patient waiting in front of the counter: "Take the number and go wait over there, surgery in two hours. Next!"

Shiler checked the patient's condition again, then shouted toward the passage: "Joseph! Another case of ear canal penetration! Patient's temperature is normal, breathing is sluggish. Prepare to receive!"

One of the passages responded, but Shiler was in the counter and couldn't hear what he was saying, so he had to lean over and knock on the passage.

"I said, we don't have sponges!" A rough voice came from the passage, and he was clearly knocking on something over there. He said: "Treating ear canal penetration requires sponges. Find a way to get some!"

"Okay, wait a moment!"

"Is Jenna there?! Ms. Jenna! I saw you still had quite a few sponges there before, share some with me, I'll return them tomorrow!"

With a swoosh, a bag of sponges fell from above the pipe. Shiler picked it up, threw it into another pipe, and then sent the patient in. After returning to the counter, there was another long line.

"Next!"

Shiler looked up and found that the person standing in front of him was actually Jarvis. Shiler thought Jarvis didn't want to be exposed, so he pretended not to know him and said: "What's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?"

"Doctor, do you need some help?" Jarvis's mechanical arm rested on the counter, and then he said: "It's too troublesome to shout at the passage from the counter. I can help you make an air-conduction microphone."

Shiler looked at him in surprise and said: "You can do it? What do you do?"

"I'm an engineer." Jarvis took his license out of his pocket, showed it to Shiler, and said: "I was originally here to complete a maintenance mission, but I got trapped here. I heard there was a hospital here, so I wanted to come and see if there was anything I could help with."

"Mr. Kama is indeed an engineer." A little boy with a cat head walked over and said: "He is a good person. Not only did he fix our tap water system, but he also brought us to the hospital."

Shiler looked up and scanned, finding that many people's eyes were looking this way. It seems Jarvis had become their savior.

Now he somewhat understood why Jarvis deliberately pretended not to know him. It was better for the two of them to play good cop and bad cop.

"Okay. But you have to ensure that it doesn't affect the use of the pipes during this time." Shiler said: "That guy Wood took money but didn't work, and has already been killed by the boss. He left me with such a big mess, I have to solve it as soon as possible."

"Wood was killed?!" Someone in the crowd said in surprise: "Is he already dead?"

"Yes. He won't come again. I'll take over from now on. However, I have to remind you, don't think I'm easy to bully..."

"No, Doctor." Jarvis suddenly spoke up: "You are much better than that Wood. He only wanted money and didn't care about anyone's life. But in just this short while, you have already cured three people..."

Others echoed one after another. It wasn't that Shiler was doing that well, but compared to Wood, he was simply Hua Tuo reborn, the national server Bian Que...

"Alright, alright, be quiet. Then you do it, Mr. Engineer. It's not impossible for others to stay here for a while longer, but you must leave before nightfall."

One of the patients who had just finished surgery lay on the ground, clutching his stomach. He said weakly: "I really have nowhere to go, can I..."

"Not tonight." Shiler pretended to be impatient and said: "I'm going to talk to the boss about expanding the hospital. Because of Wood's corruption, there has never been an inpatient department here. It needs to be expanded as soon as possible. If nothing goes wrong, it will be completed tonight, and you can be hospitalized tomorrow."

"Hospitalized? What is hospitalization?" The waiting patients were all a bit confused. They seemed to have never been hospitalized.

"It means you spend some money, and the hospital provides you with accommodation. You can also spend money to buy medicine and inject it here. In case of any emergency, we can directly take you for rescue..."

"How much money?"

Shiler thought about it and felt he couldn't be too black-hearted. After all, the patients here didn't have high requirements; just having a bed to lie on was enough. Even having an empty room to lie on the ground was fine. This kind of hospitalization environment would hang a row of hospital executives in a modern hospital. But here, it belonged to hanging a pot to save the world.

"10 copper coins a day." Shiler said: "But if we check your physical condition and you are already better, we will force you to be discharged, and you are not allowed to stay anymore."

The room was quiet for a moment, and Shiler suspected that he had set the price too high. After all, although he wasn't as black-hearted as Wood, asking for one gold coin for a visit, at least half a gold coin was needed. This group of people might really not have much money left.

As a result, cheers erupted in the room, and Shiler immediately regretted it a little. He knew he had asked for too little, but forget it, anyway, the expansion was free. A business without capital can earn a little bit.

"Additionally, after the inpatient department is expanded, we also need to recruit two nurses. Do you know what a nurse is? Preferably the kind who is clever and can also dispense medicine, a witch..."

The people in the room started discussing. Here, witches were not a taboo; although they were looked down upon by those big shots, they were very common among the people. Everyone had come into contact with them more or less. Many people were whispering about whether to introduce their witch friends.

Jarvis started building the communication system. But he didn't use any physical method of transmitting sound, but used a transmitter and a strange receiver. There was even a metal keyboard with keycaps, like a typewriter.

Shiler was increasingly unable to understand the technology of this world.

But clearly, Jarvis was professionally matched. He installed the transmitters at both ends, then pressed the receiver. Finally, he installed the keyboard and a square box on Shiler's desk.

"Press here to enter the number, then press this key to start the call. You can start speaking after two beeps. The sound can be transmitted directly into the other party's pipe. The sound of the other party speaking through the pipe will come out of this box."

Jarvis had seen Shiler's ability to screw in light bulbs, so he taught it very carefully, fearing that Shiler wouldn't know how to operate it.

Shiler immediately tried it and dialed the number for Strange's room. Strange seemed startled by the clear sound coming from the passage, but still responded quickly: "This is Ward 11. Please speak."

"This is the emergency room, this is the newly installed communication system. From now on, there's no need to shout at the passage so loudly. Just stand in front of the operating table and speak, and I will be able to hear you. Over."

Shiler notified all the wards. The doctors all received the news. And not long after, someone dialed the call.

"Hello, this is Ward 26, we have a patient who suddenly bled a lot, what should we do?"

The person speaking was a woman, her voice sounded a bit flustered. Shiler immediately brought up the data for Ward 26. There was a pair of 15-year-old siblings there, not very old, but very talented, and this ward's cure rate was considered among the top.

Thinking of the patient sent over before, the situation was a bit complicated, Shiler hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't move for now, I'll come over immediately."

"Come over? You're coming over?"

"Yes, can you handle the hemostasis by yourselves? I'll come help you do it. After I'm done, you can do the follow-up treatment."

After speaking, Shiler let the patients in line wait for a while, saying that there was a critically ill patient who needed rescue. Then he took a ladder, climbed to the passage of Ward 26, and crawled directly in.

When Shiler landed, he saw two terrified faces. This ward had also been upgraded, so they weren't wearing masks. Their young faces were full of disbelief.

"God, how did you get over here?!"

"If I didn't come over, could you handle it yourselves?" After speaking, Shiler picked up the scalpel and hemostatic forceps nearby, and then said: "Come over. I'll demonstrate it to you once..."

About ten minutes later, the patient's bleeding was basically handled. Shiler wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to the siblings behind him, and said: "Did you see clearly? You need to cooperate. Don't move when holding the hemostatic forceps..."

Both nodded in unison. Actually, it wasn't a very complicated operation, it was just that the sudden heavy bleeding had scared them.

"You really are a good doctor." The sister said: "Just like Dr. Foster in the stories."

Hearing this name, Shiler paused in his movement to go back. He stood in front of the passage and asked: "Do you think Foster is a good doctor?"

"Of course, they say he is the role model for all doctors." The younger brother pointed to the portrait on the wall and said: "His portrait is hung in every hospital. It's to let new doctors learn from him."

Shiler nodded lightly, didn't say anything more, and went back along the passage.

After seeing two more patients, the phone rang again, and Joseph's voice came from inside. He said: "It's bad, Dr. Shiler, the patient with ear canal penetration before is convulsing all over..."

"Didn't you pay attention when you pressed the sponge?"

"Maybe I used a bit too much force, but we don't know where we touched. He is convulsing now, and we can't examine him..."

"Okay, don't worry." Shiler looked at the line that was getting longer and longer, decisively pressed the communicator, and said to the other side: "Stephen, go to Ward 4. There is a patient with ear canal penetration there, might need neurosurgery..."

"I can't handle it." Strange said: "Go do this small illness yourself."

"I can't handle it either." Shiler hesitated for a moment, then dialed the phone for Joseph's ward and said: "Is the patient still conscious?"

"Yes, he can hear me speaking, but he can't control himself."

"Okay, tell him. Medical resources are insufficient now. Extra surgical procedures need to be paid for by himself. We will invite the best doctor to operate on him. 20 silver coins per time. Ask him if he agrees."

"Agree! I agree! Hurry up, my ear hurts so much!!"

Shiler dialed Strange's phone again and said: "The other party agreed to pay for it himself. 10 silver coins for a flying knife surgery."

"Too low, you took at least 20, I want 15."

"Okay. Go quickly!"

Soon, Strange came out of his ward and crawled into the passage of Ward 4. In about 5 minutes, he came out again. The cured patient also came out.

"So fast?" Someone in the crowd said in surprise: "Last time I saw a patient with ear canal penetration in the hospital, they were rescued for four hours and still died..."

Taking this opportunity, Shiler immediately grabbed Strange and said: "This doctor is the top surgeon in our hospital, known as the Hand of God. If anyone feels their symptoms are too severe and wants to ask this doctor to perform surgery, it's a flat rate of 20 silver coins per time. First come, first served!"

Because of Wood's style before, those who dared to come to this hospital all had some family background. Immediately, a deer mother with her daughter rushed up and shouted: "I'll go first, I'll go first. My daughter also has ear canal penetration! We want surgery right now!"
