Zhou Daoan hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and came to the bed, only to see that Miss Kelly had already woken up, and was propping up half of her body, shouting "HELP" in her mouth.

She had actually woken up a few times earlier, but she was still very weak, so she probably knew that she was already in the clinic. Now that I have been lying down for a long time and drinking a bowl of astragalus soup that replenishes qi, my spirit has improved a lot, and now I feel hungry.

While taking the water and food handed by Zhou Daoan, she asked about the process of her illness again, and Zhou Daoan said in detail.

After listening to Zhou Daoan's narration, Kelly did not show the slightest gratitude, but frowned and muttered, "There is such a thing? Although I used to have heart palpitations, I would never faint on the street after saying two words......

Do you call it two words? You're already arguing with others with a red face!

Then, she looked at Zhou Dao'an, and said half-to herself: "I should just be able to pass slowly, why send me to the clinic?" And my chest hurts terribly......"

Zhou Daoan frowned slightly, and didn't answer - this woman's words seemed to be unwilling to be treated.

"Ouch, it hurts so much when I touch it, I said, you treat me, it won't be messy, right? And...... By the way, I'm not done with Milk and the old rascal Henderson yet! ”

As she spoke, Kelly lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed, but as soon as her feet hit the ground, she was a little unsteady on her feet, and her face was still very white.

"Ma'am......" Zhou Daoan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "You have just recovered from a sudden heart attack, and you still need a period of recuperation." And if you're pregnant, it's especially dangerous for people with heart disease. ”

Just this sentence, as if it suddenly ignited Kelly, I saw that her eyebrows immediately rose, and her voice also raised an octave:

"Pregnant? Who said I was pregnant? I'm not married, how can I get pregnant! I passed out...... What does a little problem have to do with pregnancy? Are you still an obstetrician-gynecologist? ”

Zhou Daoan couldn't help frowning again, if Kelly's state in front of her could still make people talk to her, then at this moment she was already refusing to communicate. Looking at her menacing appearance, this woman can really make people lose their good impression of her in an instant.

But Kelly hadn't recovered after all, and before she could say two scaring words, it was dark in front of her eyes, and the heavens and the earth were spinning. Kelly hurried down to the bed - thankfully she wasn't too far from it.

Seeing Kelly's weak appearance, Zhou Daoan didn't help, he just looked at it coldly. Although he was willing to lend a hand, he had no interest in helping people who didn't know what to do—he was not a good person.

Kelly gasped for breath for a long time, and finally got better again. She didn't mention anything about leaving, and lay back in bed.

"Hey, I said, how much does it cost to cure this disease?" Kelly rested for a while before she regained a little blood, and she herself was a little scared.

"No doctor can say that this disease can be completely cured." Zhou Daoan said lightly, as a staff member of a clinic, even if he has a bad perception of patients, he has to answer reasonable questions.

Seeing that Kelly's face was suddenly ugly, Zhou Daoan added: "This disease requires long-term recuperation, to put it bluntly, you have to save yourself." Quit smoking, alcohol, coffee, stay up late, and pay attention to your diet...... Change your temper, get less angry, and relax your mind...... If you listen to the doctor, you can still live normally. Otherwise, I'm not sure you'll be able to survive until your child is born. ”

Although Zhou Daoan is not a serious doctor, he lived in the era of information explosion in his previous life, and he knew a lot about these "modern civilization" diseases. Many times, this disease is caused by people "doing" it themselves.

Kelly, short-tempered and irritable, needless to say, when she was rescued before, Zhou Daoan could clearly feel the smell of overnight spirits and tobacco mixed in her mouth, and even with it, there were deep coffee stains and smoky yellow marks between her teeth, which can show that the other party's life has no self-discipline, thinking of Henderson's words when he quarreled with her, and her violent reaction when she heard that she was pregnant, it is likely that her life is not disorderly, and she has even engaged in some kind of ancient industry.

It can be said that the woman in her early twenties in front of her belongs to the category that will be looked down upon in society, especially in this era when her thinking is still relatively conservative.

I don't know if it's because I'm scared by my dizziness at the moment, or because of the bad things Zhou Daoan said, in short, Kelly's face became gloomy. She bit her lip, looked at Zhou Daoan, and didn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, she fumbled around her body, and after a few moments, she pulled a few coins out of the pocket of her dress.

"Bad luck, the bag is still in the theater......" Kelly muttered, and then stretched out the coin in her hand in front of Zhou Daoan, "Is this money enough for this visit?" ”

Zhou Daoan glanced at it and found that these coins were all in the face value of one shilling, adding up to about three or four, which was not a small amount of money at the moment.

"Not so much, it's a cheap clinic." Because Mrs. William explained when she was leaving, if Kelly woke up, she would stay if she wanted to, and leave if she wanted to, and she would charge three pence for the consultation fee and medicine, and if Kelly didn't have any money with her, it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't pay.

"Then you take it!" Kelly slapped the money in Zhou Daoan's hand without saying anything this time, "But I want to trouble you, about my pregnancy......"

There was a hint of begging for secrecy in that look.

Zhou Daoan sighed secretly, pushed the money back, and said truthfully: "Mrs. William gave you a diagnosis, she did not hide your pregnancy, and everyone present at the time heard it. ”

"What! This old witch! A long-tongued woman with a lot of mouths! She's violating privacy, do you understand privacy! ”

At this time, Kelly was thunderous again, but as soon as she got angry, her face turned pale in an instant, and the dizziness came again, so frightened that she hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence, and lay on the bed panting again.

After another half of the night, when Kelly recovered again, she didn't say anything and got out of bed directly.

She grabbed her clothes, and without looking back to the ground, she opened the door of the clinic and walked out of the door, this time, she did not leave any money, but grabbed the small packets of the potions prepared by Mrs. William, and it was not until she reached the door that she paused slightly, but in the end she did not say anything, and walked into the night.

For such a person, Zhou Daoan has nothing to do, and in the same way, he will not stop - your life is your own, I saved you once, but I have no responsibility to care about what you do.

The night went by.

Early the next morning, Dr. William and his wife came together. Mrs. William inquired about the situation last night, and when she heard that Kelly was gone, she didn't say anything special, but just glanced at her husband and said casually: Everyone has his own life.

After such an incident, Zhou Daoan stayed in this private clinic. Because this clinic is close to the people and convenient for the people, the daily "business" is good, and most of the people received are middle and lower class people in the eastern district of Wudu.

Dr. William and Mrs. William, one in charge of andrology and surgery, and the other in charge of gynecology and internal medicine, apparently had a very tacit understanding. The patients who came here also trusted and respected the medical skills of these two people, and even brought Zhou Daoan to help here, and they all knew a lot of people.

Of course, with the low fees paid by these patients, it is barely enough to pay the rent of this clinic, let alone make a profit. But Dr. and Mrs. William obviously don't care much about income, and they probably have some family background. In addition, Dr. William will also take some "big orders" - occasionally go to some far-flung places, such as the West End, which is a wealthy area, the level of consumption is extremely high, and the consultation fee is quite expensive. Dr. William's home visit is often paid for a week's worth of practice, so this is the bulk of the source.

However, it is understandable that Dr. William is quite famous in the Eastern District, and there are many people in the Western District who make appointments, so it is really famous. Looking at Dr. William's inconspicuous appearance, although he usually speaks little, he has no arrogance, it is difficult to imagine how he used to be.

This question was answered a week later, and a casual chat, which Mrs. William had with Dr. William over dinner, did not deliberately avoid it, and talked about the fact that an old friend from the past was actually a knight, that Zhou Daoan realized that the couple had many noble friends. After listening carefully, I deduced that the former Dr. William was the royal physician of the empire on which the sun never sets.

It is no wonder that the people here have great respect for Dr. William, and even the patrolmen have to greet William and his wife respectfully when they see him.

However, it is precisely because Dr. William is so successful that he now runs a cheap clinic in the East End, helping the common people, that people are admirable.

And after this week's work, Dr. William and his wife also recognized Zhou Daoan more and more - this young man did not talk much, but he worked seriously and diligently. The most valuable thing is that he is very interested in medicine and will not be afraid to ask questions, and after adapting to it for a day or two, he even memorized all the medicines in the pharmacy, which made Dr. William look up to Zhou Daoan.

So, from the second week, Dr. William and his wife consciously taught Zhou Daoan, from some simple medical knowledge to some more professional knowledge, the couple was surprised to find that Zhou Daoan's basic knowledge is very good, and some professional knowledge is even a little clear. After three days, he was already able to imitate Dr. William's surgical procedure to suture the rabbit's wound and correct the positioning of the broken bone.

This can't help but greatly increase Dr. William's favor for Zhou Daoan, and now more than ten days have passed, Dr. William has regarded Zhou Daoan as his student, and always deliberately instills his own skills in his spare time, and the apprenticeship is worthy of the name.
