Chapter 57: Civilian Hospital
Clio drove a battered taxi to the Epila Civilian Hospital, five kilometers away from the civilian area. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's been three months since Clio last came here, and the last time he came to the civilian hospital was to accompany Colin to treat his high fever. Although the civilian district hospital is in disrepair and very dilapidated, because there is an inaccessible forest behind it, and there is a lake with white water lotus, I heard that as long as it is a seriously ill patient, it will choose to commit suicide in the lake at 12 o'clock at night, and when it is found, the white lotus will appear to be stained red with blood, so this holy and beautiful water lotus is regarded as an ominous thing by the civilians of Iphira, and even some civilians say that this is a water lotus incarnated by ghosts, Specifically to take the lives of civilians.
Therefore, if the residents of the small town of Iffira are sick, they will not choose to go to this low-cost civilian hospital for treatment, but would rather spend a lot of money to go to the municipal central hospital for treatment. In general, people who come to the Ifira civilian hospital for treatment, except for the elderly or bold children in the Ifira civilian area, even if they are people in the civilian area, there are still people who would rather go up to the mountain to collect herbs to treat the disease than come to the civilian hospital to see a doctor.
Over time, this civilian hospital, located in front of the ancient forest of Iphira, even made people frightened, thinking that there were creatures here, evil spirits on the way to the Yellow Springs, specially to claim the lives of the sick.
Although Clio often heard the legend of this water lotus ghost, he thought it was just a ghost story that scared the faint of heart, maybe it was just a coincidence, where could there really be an evil spirit incarnated as a water lotus.
Clio parked his car in the parking lot of the civilian hospital, saying it was a parking lot, but it was nothing more than a giant piece of iron sheet painted with blue paint, and then used it as a shelter in an open area. Next to him was a gray-haired old man about 70 years old, wearing a blue uniform, who should be the doorman here, because of his age, the old man was sitting on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and did not notice that Clio had parked the car in the parking lot.
Even the guards are old people with weak physique, and because of the low fees and the legend of ghost stories, most of the people who come here are elderly or people from very poor families, or there are homeless people, and young people will grit their teeth and pay to go to the municipal central hospital. But Clio now has no other living expenses except for the scholarship he graduated from the Intermediate Magic Wizard Academy before, so there is actually nothing bad about coming to this kind of low-cost civilian hospital, of course, Shirley's family often comes here to see a doctor, because Uncle Mario doesn't believe in this kind of weird ghost story, but Aina is a little scared, every time Clio is sick, he is taken there before
The Municipal Central Hospital, which sent Colin here for treatment that time, was counted down by Aina afterwards, saying that such an ominous hospital would dare to come.
Clio helped Tiffany up in the back seat, then carried her behind her back to the medical department of the civilian hospital. It is said to be a hospital, but from the front, it is just a five-story simple building, because it has been set up for more than 40 years, it can be said that it is in disrepair, the white walls are almost cracked, because of the wind and rain for many years, the steps in front of the hospital have grown a lot of moss, Clio remembers that he almost slipped and fell on the side of the steps last time.
Today is Monday, there are not many patients coming and going in the hospital, but for such a small hospital, it can be said that it is lively, just entered the front desk, a young nurse in white with a light red scorpion braid is registering, the hospital is full of the smell of cheap disinfectant potion, this smell is almost every hospital, but I don't know why the medicine here smells very bad, except for some patients wearing blue striped hospital gowns, It's the doctors in white coats who come and go, and the nurses who are also dressed in white.
Every time I came to the Ifila Civilian Hospital, I felt a little indescribably depressed, as if there was a heavy stone pressing on my heart, and Clio didn't know why she felt this way.
Clio placed Tiffany on top of the benches in the hall, which were rusty and covered in rust, but it didn't stop her from using it.
Coming to the window in front of the registration, Clio said to the nurse with light red scorpion braids, "Hello, Miss, I need to register." ”
The young nurse raised a pair of black eyes, looked at Clio, and said kindly, "What subjects do I need to register?" ”
Clio hesitated, Tiffany had a high fever, a wound infection, and there would be bleeding, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Miss, my sister has a high fever and wound infection, and she is in shock, what subjects need to be hung up." ”
"In this case, it is more appropriate to hang the surgery, and wait until the doctor confirms the diagnosis to really know what the patient's condition is, then I will help you handle the surgical number."
The nurse's voice was sweet and gentle, soothing the tension and anxiety in Clio's mood.
"Please ask about the basic information of the patient, the name and age, I need to register." The nurse continued.
"Tiffany Hopcock, 16 years old, lives at 12 Downtown Street in the small town of Iffira." Cleo didn't know Tiffany's full name, so he gave her the same name as himself.
The nurse registered Tiffany's condition on a white medical record as usual, and then said, "Hello, registration costs 1 silver coin, and then the surgeon will go to the department on the east side." ”
Clio said thank you and paid the registration fee.
Holding Tiffany's medical records, which said that today's doctor was Evangeline Abrams, Clio didn't notice and turned around and helped Tiffany to the doctor.
Fortunately, there are not many surgical patients today, and soon Tiffany's number was arranged, and Clio carried Tiffany into the department, but he didn't expect that today's attending doctor was Senior Sister Evangeline.
Ivangeline used a blue bow to tie her long light green hair into a high ponytail today, which looked more refreshing, and she was wearing a white coat over her dark green suit uniform, like a beautiful and elegant angel.
Ivangeline raised her head and saw that it was Clio, holding a girl in a dark green hooded jacket, very surprised, she didn't expect Clio to appear here, because according to normal times, Clio should be in Galateaa's class, why did he appear here.
Before Evangeline could speak, Clio had already asked, "Sister Evangeline, it's great that you actually work here, Tiffany should be saved." ”
Clio didn't expect that Ivangeline would actually work in a civilian hospital, and given her medical knowledge, Tiffany was certainly not an incurable disease.
"Actually, I come here every month to be a doctor for free for a day, because I heard that there is a shortage of doctors here, so I volunteered to be a doctor here, but I didn't expect to meet you, by the way, is this girl your relative?" Ivangeline asked with a smile on her lips.
"Sister Ivangeline, in fact, she is a friend I just met, her situation is a bit complicated, now please help me take a look, because I don't know, what is Tiffany's disease." Clio said with some discouragement.
"Well, okay, I'll show you this." Evangeline got up and said, then walked over to Tiffany, took off her hood, and found that it was a girl with a vine-like scar on her face. But Ivangeline, who had seen all kinds of strange creatures, was not frightened by Tiffany's face, but calmly used a stethoscope to check the situation for her, Tiffany's heartbeat was still there, but very slowly, a bit like the heartbeat of an endangered patient, and then gently opened Tiffany's eyes and checked the pulse of her teeth and wrists.
"How's it going, Sister Evangeline, Tiffany, is she in a serious situation?" Clio asked anxiously.
Ivangeline had previously seen experiments with rabbits taking poison, which was made from a potion made of a highly toxic red clover, which could completely kill a rabbit with just 1 gram, and there would be an unknown infected wound, the blood would turn jet black, and then the rabbit would have symptoms of headaches, complications of cold limbs. So she could be sure that Tiffany had taken a potion of red clover, or a potion containing something similar to red clover, and possibly another poison that would cause her to go into shock.
"I think she should have taken the potion of red clover, this potion contains highly toxic, if taken in large quantities, it can cause people to have a high fever, wound infection, cold limbs, slow heartbeat, and may have serious consequences such as auditory hallucinations and schizophrenia, so the situation is quite serious, but this is the first time I have come into contact with this kind of patient, so I need to go back to Galatea and let Dr. Ackerman prepare medicine for her to control the progression of the disease."
Ivangeline said as she took off her stethoscope.
"Sure enough, it's the same as Uncle Arnold said, Sister Evangeline, can this disease be completely cured?" Clio asked anxiously.
"It's hard to say, this situation is very rare, and in this world, the red clover containing highly toxic only grows on an isolated island in our kingdom, so this poisonous clover does not have a complete detoxification drug, and can only be controlled through some special treatment, and then the development of the disease can be controlled, and it needs good herbs to configure the corresponding antidote, and also needs antiviral serum to dilute the poison in her blood, but I have a predecessor who has not been contacted for many years, She is also a Galatea graduate, it is said that she is the only doctor who has been fully recognized by Dr. Ackermann as a skilled doctor, she should now live in the small town of Red Rose, as a physician in a private practice, and she is a skilled doctor, no matter what kind of incurable disease, she can solve it, her name is Heroise, we call her Sister Caldick, she has been graduating for ten years, I don't know if I can find her contact number, if I can, I recommend her for Tiffany treatment, she can definitely let Tiffany live, I'll go back to Galatea after work tonight, and I'll give you some antidote tomorrow to control your condition. Ivangeline said with hope on her face.
"Sister Evangeline, I'm so grateful to you, what treatment does Tiffany need now." Clio asked, his expression finally less anxious than he had just been.
"Now I'm going to hospitalize her first, and then I'll give her an antiviral serum infusion to see if the situation improves, and if it can improve, then she can be discharged tomorrow, and then take the medicine I prepared for her, I believe that in a month, at least she can live unharmed." Ivangeline said.
Cleo finally breathed a sigh of relief, because as long as there was a potion configured by Ivangeline, she could finally go to class with confidence, and she really hoped that Tiffany could recover sooner and find her lost sister.
Ivangeline dialed the phone on the desk, and the voice of a sweet girl came from the other side of the phone.
"Hello, Miss Cora, I'm Ivangeline, and now I have a patient here who needs an antiviral serum, a bottle of tranquilizer containing lavender, a box of mint capsules, a box of ice cubes, please send it to me, and arrange for her to be admitted to ward 403."
"Miss Ivangeline, please wait a moment, the sedative has been out of stock for a long time, because some patients have had some serious side effects before, so the dean has stopped supplying, I'm sorry, I'll arrange the rest immediately."
The nurse on the other end of the line, Kora, said.
Ivangeline hung up the phone, and then said to Clio: "I will arrange for her to be hospitalized for observation now, if within 8 hours, her high fever improves, then her illness, I can guarantee that the medicine will be cured." ”
Clio nodded and said gratefully, "Sister Evangeline, I don't know how to thank you. ”
Ivangeline smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you don't need to thank me, besides, as a person who studies medical knowledge, shouldn't you want to save lives?" This is something I should do. ”
Cleo looked at Tiffany, at her vine-like ugly scars, and at her strange gray hair color, and wondered if she could ask Ivangeline to help her prepare a potion to restore her health.
"Sister Ivangilin, these scars on Tiffany's face, as well as her hair color, can potions be configured to improve the situation?"
Clio asked.
Ivangeline knew that this was due to the side effect of the highly toxic red clover, which would cause the original white skin to grow scars that could discredit the appearance, and would cause the hair to quickly wither and fade, and eventually turn into a gray hair color. Although she has not done this kind of experiment, but the magic doctor book records that this isolated island of highly poisonous red clover, only a small dose, can achieve the effect of killing a rabbit, so in the black market of some countries, some people will sell this red clover pills or potions at a high price, engaging in illegal activities, and it has been strictly banned from being sold in the entire Midgard continent.
"When I go back to the lab, I'll try to make a potion for Dr. Ackerman according to her previous prescription, but since she is poisoned, she can restore her healthy complexion and hair color as long as she can be detoxified."
After a moment's thought, Ivangelin looked at Clio and said.
