Landon and the doctors spent time going over things with Andrew and explaining what was best in hopes that he would at least consider his health.
But as expected, he adamantly turned it down and refused to believe them.
In Andrew's mind, this was a big trend in Morgany that had finally been bestowed upon him.
So how could he let it go?
For him, the people of Pyno that looked at him with disgust were all lowlives who had never stepped their legs in Morgany to witness the trend for themselves.
In fact, if the gout attack happened in his home city, most nobles would shun him, while only a few would get excited and look at him in awe.
Only those who had ever visited Morgany would know about the trend.
Andrew even planned to take advantage of this and go to Morgany again.
Because once the people saw him, several doors would be opened, with several influential people stretching their hands towards him.
If possible, he hoped that he would be able to leave Pyno and locate there.
What a joke!
That was almost everyone's dream.
Morgany was the dreamland to many.
So how could he let this opportunity slide?
Without a care in the world, he scoffed at the doctors in disdain.
They were probably jealous and wanted to find ways to get rid of his situation.
Yes, that must be it!
The more he looked at the group of doctors, the more displeasing they were in his eyes.
Were they so jealous that they had lied about everything so much?
They even tried to convince him that his condition wouldn't enlarge his genitals when he clearly knew it would.
Sure. Even though he didn't see any change now when looking at it, he was very confident that it would come later.
After all, that was how it typically worked for those in Morgany, right?
So he adamantly believed them in his vision.
If a man can't even follow through with his plans and stick up for his vision, wouldn't he be a failure?
Andrew now determined more than ever to stand his ground.
.
"Heh. What generous people you are.
Why should I reduce the swells, making them invisible?
If I do that, how would others know that I've been chosen!
You're just here to ruin my chances."
"Mr. Andrew, we're sorry that you feel that way.
But as doctors, we have to emphasize that even if your illness would come and go... Not treating the swells each time would lead to joint deformity, kidney failure and all the other issues mentioned earlier.
So as your doctors, we hope that you would consider your health."
A spasm of irritation crossed Andrew's face.
"F***!
Do you all have water in your ears?
Are you all cursing me?
If those with the trend back in Morgany didn't have any issues, then why should it be only me who will develop them?
I don't believe it!
All of you are just jealous of my success!
I won't repeat myself.
Like I said, only take away the pain. Leave everything else.
Or as the heavens are my witness, I will destroy this entire hospital for taking my good luck away.
You say the swells will deform me?
Well, don't worry.
I like it like that."

Listening to him, everyone else could only sigh in defeat at how stubborn Andrew was.
Landon rubbed his forehead helplessly.
People of this era really believed in sh**!
Over the years, he had met with all sorts of people who had their own beliefs as well.
But it was easy to prove these people wrong because the hospital had already treated some common illnesses that these people typically believed to be cursed by demons or blessed by fate.
When they showed before and after pictures of some patients, people were so shocked that they immediately turned speechless.
It was easy to convince people once facts were right before one's eyes.
To be honest, about 95% of people who came in here having their own beliefs changes their minds without the hospital having to show anything.
Just listening to the doctors, the patients subconsciously believed, especially when they said some things and stated some common symptoms they had faced a while back.
Some opened their eyes in shock and believed even more.
Of course, it also helped that Baymard's hospital had an impeccable reputation, with some calling it a Miracle home.
After all, they had cured so many illnesses which, for these people, were miraculous, but for the Doctors, were common illnesses.
And even though they began by blindly believing in Baymard, the results convinced them even more.
With many getting healthier and better, with some even cutting the illnesses that plagued them for years, how could they not believe Baymard?
Instead, they now thought those stories were ridiculous after the doctors treated them and gave them pointers and essential tips.
Pyno itself had become less superstitious, with people now questioning some made-up stories.
.
Anyway, 95% of people didn't give doctors issues.
But the other percentage was stubborn and adamant about curing themselves.
And Andrew was amongst them
Of course, everyone had the right to believe in what they wanted.
So the doctors couldn't do much.
All they could do was warn the patient about his/her actions.
Landon looked at Andrew, deep in thought.
Earlier on, they had given him an Anti-inflammatory drug called Ibuprofen (or Advil), which not only focuses on reducing the swell but could also manage pain and fever.
But since Andrew only wanted the pain to go away, they would have to recommend Acetaminophen (or Tylenol).
He basically refused everything else.
So what else could they do?
The Landon quickly took out Andrew's medical book and filled it out swiftly, while another doctor filled out an essential patient sheet for the hospital.
Of course, while filling, he also stated that the Patient was difficult.
This way, further doctors would be fully prepared when attending to him.
Andrew looked at the busy doctors before him arrogantly.
"It's good that you know your jobs.
Now hurry up so that I can leave!"
