Ancient Civilization!

It refers to a brilliant civilization that existed in the distant past.

Raymond decided to say that he learned his future medical skills from ancient knowledge.

It was a blue lie, but there was nothing else to say.

Fortunately, Hanson accepted Raymonds words without much doubt.

First of all, nothing was well-known about ancient civilization. It was considered only mysterious like a legend hidden in the fog, so any lie roughly worked.

The situation is urgent right now, so Ill explain it slowly later. For now, please prepare everything Ill say.

Okay. Fire it away then.

Prepare boiled clean water as soon as possible.

what?

And then disinfect a clean knife over the fire. Also, please go to my room and prepare a thin thread that sterilizes the herbs.

.

Water, knife, and thread?

Hansons eyes became very much confused.

What are you trying to do with the patient now? He thought.

Raymond coughed in vain because it was a common sense reaction from Leyfentina.

youll know when you see it in person. Anyway, Im in a hurry, so please prepare it quickly.

***

Fortunately, the preparation did not take long.

In order to reduce the probability of infection during surgery, the patient was moved to a clean room as soon as possible. Afterward, the patient was put to sleep and anesthetized with hallucinogenic drugs.

Im glad I prepared a catgut in advance just in case. Raymond told himself.

The thread is made of sheeps intestines. Its body was melted over time so that it could be used as a suture.

It was available because the wizards of the tower were using it as a material.

Hanson couldnt help but ask as he tilted his head.

What exactly are you going to do, sir?

Surgery.

Sue what?

Youll know when you see it now.

Raymond could not elaborate further.

Because his heart is beating like crazy, he had no time to explain.

Can I do it? He asked himself.

Lets not think about the consequences.

Lets just do our best.

If the patient is not saved, Lance will surely disqualify him from apprenticeship.

So he has to save the patient no matter what, of course.

Thats his line of thoughts, but his heart was about to burst with tension.

If it wasnt for the heart of steel, he might have already collapsed because his legs were already so weak despite that special attribute of his.

Maybe he would of ran far away.

Open.

After disinfecting the surgical site, Raymond raised a small hand knife that had been heated and sterilized.

Raymond gasped and bit his lips as his fingertips were about to tremble.

Wake up!

The fishy blood flowed and his mind came back a little.

It made a screeching sound.

The blade edged into the abdominal wall.

S-Senior?

Raymond could see Hanson breathing in for air, but he was not paying attention. However, Raymond was as surprised as Hanson.

It was his first time slicing flesh too.

The skin cracked, and yellow fat appeared. Blood flowed, and the bright red muscles piled up as the transparent membrane underneath appeared.

Raymond feels dizzy.

He felt as if his hair is going to turn white from all the stress.

[The heart of steel is manifesting!] [It strengthens your will!]

[The heart of steel is manifesting!] [It strengthens your will!]

If it wasnt for the message that comes to his mind, Raymond might have let go.

Youre doing great. Im gonna be the best healer. I can do this! Raymond repeated to himself as if he were chanting a spell.

Raymond has always thought that he is no filth or a worm.

He is going to be the best that everyone would look up to one day.

Im gonna be the best! I could already imagine the wealth and glory that I will enjoy in the near future!

Raymond moved his hand as he tried to calm himself as much as he can.

Theres that screeching sound again.

Midline incision.

He was able to perform the surgery steps one by one.

Screeching sounds came to life once again.

The knife carefully cut the duodenum.

Fut. Fut.

From the inside of the duodenum, blood poured like a fountain. It was arterial bleeding.

Give me a thread.

Oh, oh, yes!

Hanson froze blankly and handed Raymond a thread that had been washed in sterilized water by boiling herbs.

Tie!

The technique of tying blood vessels with thread and stopping the bleeding unfolded at Raymonds fingertips.

Can he do it?

This concern passed by for a moment, but Raymonds fingers naturally moved as if dancing, overshadowing the concern.

He managed to close it neatly.

The blood vessel that was pouring blood quietly closed its mouth.

Okay! Now, he need to close the duodenum hole!

Raymond slowly proceeded with the surgery steps one after another again.

Carefully. Carefully. Dont make a mistake.

Raymonds heart beat with tension as his forehead sweats.

The Omentum connected to the stomach was pulled up to the hole. And the thick fat of the tent was used to block the perforation hole.

It was a Graham patch that blocked the hole with a shroud.

Raymond, who repaired the hole like that, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, it was time to clean up.

In order to prevent the recurrence of ulcers, the nerves involved in gastric acid secretion were found and amputated.

And then the gastric juice that contaminated the peritoneum was wiped off with boiled and sterilized water.

After all the treatments according to the knowledge of surgery, Raymond did the final process.

He had to close the stomachs hole.

It was after closing the stomach with a knife and thread that another messaged popped into his mind.

[The first open surgery was successful!]

[It was the first open surgery in Leyfentina!]

[Achievement: You achieved Father of Surgery]

[You will be recorded as the pioneer of surgery in future generations!]

[Compared to your job grade, your achievement required a higher one initially!] Skill point acquisition is restricted!

[100 skill points will be given!]

[Bonus level up!]

That was not the end of the message.

[You treated patients who exceeded your grade limit!]

[Achievement: Youve achieved Fierce healer!]

[You will get 30 points!]

[Bonus level up!]

[Bonus level up!]

[Bonus: Additional slight courage when treating a patient that requires higher skills than you already have.]

Level 3 up with 130 skill points!

It was a huge reward, but Raymond wasnt able to mind the messages anymore.

Ha ha.

His legs are weak.

And just like that, they gave up.

He suddenly just collapsed on the floor.

Hot tears flowed from Raymonds eyes, who had unknowingly sat down on the ground.

Is it because he saved a dying patient for the first time? Or is it because he had his first open surgery?

I dont know. He told himself.

He just laughed like a fool and cried helplessly. His heart was burning.

He couldnt care less if it was right in the middle of the day.

***

To be blunt.

What? Raymond treated a hematemesis patient?

Lance, who was enjoying the sewage leisurely in the office, got up from his seat in surprise.

What nonsense!

Well, Im telling you. I dont know how its been done, but the patient is recovering from the crisis.

Lance frowned and headed to the hospital room to check for himself.

How can he treat a hemoptysis patient with heals that arent even level F?!

How did it happen?!

Surprisingly, it wasnt a lie.
