Chapter 32: Amendolara's Medical Problems

"Since you said that Gneinat is a Picosis, how can he possibly compete for the position of Grand Leader of Grummentum?" Arcistes asked, confused. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Izzam deliberately sold a pass just now, and he grinned at this moment: "Because Akpiru married his daughter to Gneinat in order to make Pikosis his ally, so Grummentum and the big leader of Pikosis became relatives, and Gneinat became Akpiru's son-in-law. It is said that Sincinag also bought off several chieftains in Grumentum City, so that Gneinat also has the support of a part of the Grumentum tribe. Luçau had no choice but to ask for help from another powerful tribe in Lucania, United Botentiia, and Sincinag immediately asked Botentia for arbitration, but Botentia never took a stand. Now that both sides are gathering their troops, the merchants and sailors are saying that a big battle could break out at any moment to decide who is the great leader of Grumentum! ”

Daves did not expect that a war of annihilation would not only split the Lucalian Alliance, but also change the balance of power in the Lucalian region, where there are now undercurrents, which is a great opportunity for Amendolara.

"Can you draw a map of Lucania?" Davers asked urgently, he had told him again and again before Izzam left.

"Yes." Izzam affirmed.

So the three of them went to the dirt floor in the courtyard of the house, and Izzam drew carefully on the ground with a stick, while Assistes stood aside with a parchment and a pen, and when Izzam had finished drawing, he drew the map on the paper.

Davers listened to Izzam as he looked at the map carefully.

He found that the mountain road in the mountains west of Turi did not lead directly to Laos, but between Laos and Niutum. The city of Laos, at the mouth of the La River, held the land passage from the Bruti region to Lucania, while the city of Vig in Bruti served as a barrier against the invasion of the Lucalians. Niutum was more important to Amendora than Laos, as it held the northward access to Lucania, and Amendorala would have a choice for further occupation of Lucania only after it was captured......

"Izzam, the information you brought is very important, you have done a great job for the city-state! I decided to set up a reconnaissance team, you are the captain, the establishment is only twenty people for the time being, you go to each brigade to pick it yourself, whoever doesn't let people go, you let him come to me! While Davers praised him, he also made good on the promise he had made.

"Thank you, Archon!" Izzam almost jumped up in excitement.

"Go back quickly, your wife must miss you very much if you are not at home for more than ten days! By the way, a waterwheel has been built along the Sinni River to bring water to your fields, so you don't have to worry about carrying water anymore! ”

"Great!" Izzam was so happy that he was about to go out.

"Wait!" Davers stopped him, asked the slave to bring two large jugs of wine, and said, "Since you like wine so much, take it back and drink it slowly." ”

Izzam thanked him again, then unceremoniously hugged one in one hand and went home happily.

"My lord, this kid is too rude!" Assistes was dissatisfied with Izzam's previous performance in the living room.

"He's still a Dukeya." Davers smiled: "Yasi, don't pay too much attention to these superficial things, the key is to look here and here. ”

Davers pointed to his chest and head and said, "It's not easy for Izzam to complete the task I gave him successfully, he's a talented lad!" As long as there is talent and people are not bad, we have to use him, are you right? ”

"Yes, sir."

"Now that you know the situation in the Lucania region, how do you attack it? You go back and think about it, and we'll have a good discussion tomorrow. ”

………………………………

After eating breakfast, Kunogorata suddenly felt discomfort in his chest, so he had to let the slave support him and go to the "hospital" in Amendolara to see a doctor.

The hospital is also located below the city of Amendora (because it is a mountain town, so it is divided into upper and lower), near the city gate. I heard that in order to support the development of the hospital, the consul Davers specially approved two empty houses next to each other to Herps to start the hospital.

In Turiyi, Kunogorata had heard rumors of the skill of the doctors of the Davos mercenaries, but when he arrived at the hospital site, he was stunned by what he saw: patients lined up from the gate to the foot of the hill, and a long queue of hundreds of people even affected the entry and exit of the city gate. The people of Amendolara saw a business opportunity and set up a small stall near the hospital to sell food, slurry water, wooden chairs, hats, etc., and actually formed a small market here, which was very lively.

Inspector Antonios had reported to Davers about this matter, and Davers had no choice but to order the Superintendent Alexis to build a large hospital next to it after completing the construction of the storage hotel, and relocate the hospital at this time to restore traffic in the city.

The faithful slave had no choice but to rent a wooden chair and let Kunogorata sit down, and went in to see a doctor to see if he could take care of it first, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the patrol in charge of maintaining order. After knowing the situation, he said that he could not do anything about it, and said: "There are many people who come here to see a doctor who are more serious than your master, and they are still lining up here in order of priority." Unless it's life-threatening, no matter who you are, you can only queue outside! ”

The slave reluctantly received a number plate and returned to Kunogorata, who knew that the source of the patients in Amendolara Hospital was not only the people of Amendolara, but mainly Turii and Heraclia, and the Turiyi among the patients saw Kunogorata sitting next to him, recognized him, and began to shout and insult loudly, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while, and the sentinels at the city gate were all provoked.

Kunogorata held his breath and simply stopped seeing the illness and went home directly. But at night, I started to feel a slight pain in my chest, and I didn't sleep well all night. I had to rush to the hospital early the next morning, only to find that the entrance of the hospital was deserted, and I asked the nurse in charge of staying behind, only to learn that this morning the consul Davers would give a lecture to the doctors, so that they would not see patients on this day in order to concentrate on their studies and discussions.

Since the lectures of the doctors were not as open as those of the Pythagorean disciples, it was only open to doctors and nurses, so Kunogorata could not be entered, and he had to consider himself unlucky.

When he returned home, by noon, Kunogorata not only felt chest pain, but also had difficulty breathing, and could no longer get out of bed, and his son Sostatus had no choice but to force his way into the doctor's venue.

Davers, who was having a heated discussion with the doctors and exchanging ideas for treatment, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly sent Herps to the home of Kunograta to see him.

Hurps inquired about the condition in detail, and carefully examined the body, and finally judged that after Kunogorata was beaten before, there was a crack in the ribs in the chest, but it was not treated, and after coming to Amendolara, he did not have a good rest, so he went to climb the mountain again, resulting in a fracture of the sternum, and the broken ribs punctured the lungs, causing the current condition of Kunogorata, with a diagnosis, Phelps treated him, and Kunogorata's condition began to improve, and he praised Hurps for his superb medical skills.

At this time, Davers, who was in the hospital, found some problems in this newly established hospital through the difficulty of seeing a doctor in Kunogorata: first, although the reputation of Amendolara Hospital is now out, and it has also brought some other economic benefits, but it is more difficult for Amendolara citizens to see a doctor than before (because there are more foreign patients), which should not be, because it cannot reflect the superiority of being a citizen of Amendolara, but fortunately it is found in time now, otherwise the citizens will accumulate resentment over time, This grievance is to be taken out on Davers, after all, he advocated the establishment of the hospital, and he is also the nominal teacher of the doctors, so it is necessary to establish a special channel for Amendolara citizens in the hospital, and Amendolara citizens must be given priority to see a doctor regardless of the severity of their illness! Priority treatment! It is to let the patients of other city-states see the privilege of being a citizen of Amendora, and let them know the happiness of being a citizen of Amendora!

Secondly, during the medical lectures, there must be a doctor who stays in the hospital to treat emergency patients. Moreover, medical lectures should not be too frequent, so as not to affect the normal medical treatment and treatment.

Thirdly, in response to the problem of too many patients to see them all in one day, Davers thinks that it is actually a good thing, which can increase the income of Amendolara's hotels and other industries. However, the lack of timely treatment for serious patients does affect the reputation of the hospital, and the best and only way to do this is to increase the number of doctors. There are six doctors in Amendolara Hospital, and it takes time to train a good doctor (not counting witch doctors and quacks), and Amendolara cannot train new doctors immediately in the short term, so he can only poach doctors from other city-states. As the reputation of Amendolara Hospital continued to grow, it would naturally attract doctors from other city-states to study, so a proposal could be passed in the Senate: for foreign doctors who were willing to stay in Amendolara, the hospital would admit him as a formal student, open him up to all medical theories, medical records, and research, and the city-state would immediately grant him Amendolara citizenship, and it could also consider extending the scope of this citizenship to teachers. Doctors and teachers were equally highly qualified in this era, indispensable for the survival and development of a city-state, while Amendora lacked both, especially teachers.

Note: At the end of the Roman Republic, Caesar was in power with a special bill on granting citizenship to foreign doctors and teachers.
