Chapter 192:They're really healed!
The efficiency of the Abyss Medical Clinic greatly shocked Leo, and it could even be said to have completely subverted his understanding.
He had been waiting outside the clinic all morning, among the queue of patients, there were many with serious injuries, including patients with severed arms and legs.
Even using healing spells would require a significant amount of time and mana.
But Charlotte and his team performed surgeries throughout the process, without using any healing spells.
"Let's prepare for Linda's surgery now," Charlotte said to Leo.
"To improve the efficiency of the surgery, I need you to assist me."
"Me?" Leo was surprised, "But I don't know how to perform surgery."
"No, I need you to use healing spells to assist me. Don't tell me you've forgotten how to cast healing spells?" Charlotte replied.
"I remember!" Leo nodded quickly and reached into his pocket, pulling out a magic wand. He said confidently, "I can do it."
"Good," Charlotte nodded and then turned to Vivian.
"Take Linda to the operating room, remove her clothes, and give her a bottle of anesthesia."
"Linda, please follow me," Vivian smiled and led Linda towards the operating room.
"Do we need to remove our clothes too?" Leo approached Charlotte and asked in a low voice.
"Do you think I can clean all the decaying parts of her body through her clothes?" Charlotte replied, looking at him inquiringly.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
"Well..." Leo fell silent. He was well aware of Linda's condition; the decay had spread throughout her entire body.
"You should take off your outer clothes too," Charlotte said again.
"Me?" Leo was surprised, "Why do I need to take off my clothes?"
"The most important thing in surgery is to avoid contamination of the wound.
This is crucial to improving the success rate of the surgery and the patient's survival.
You need to clean your hands and the magic wand properly, and then put on this set of clothing before entering the operating room," Charlotte handed him a set of white robes.
Although he didn't quite understand, upon hearing that it was related to the success rate of the surgery and Linda's survival, Leo immediately complied. He cleaned his hands and put on the ill-fitting white robe.
Charlotte glanced at Leo, who looked like a dumpling because the robe was too small, and barely held back his amusement.
"We're ready," Vivian said, standing at the door of the operating room.
"Go inside," Charlotte took the lead and entered the operating room.
Leo followed quickly.
Linda had already removed her black veil and clothing, lying on the white surgical bed.
There were too many decaying spots on her body, almost covering all of her skin, including her entire face, making her look extremely dreadful.
This condition was even more severe than Kasha's before. Some areas already revealed stark white bones, and many traces of potion use could also be seen.
Looking at the cut piece of flesh, his stomach churned, a strong urge to vomit overwhelming him.
"This is your beloved mermaid maid. Can't you even handle this?" Charlotte glanced at him and said calmly.
Leo paused, a look of shame appearing on his face.
It felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over his head. Looking at the large wound that had been cut, all he felt was heartache.
He asked, "Do we have to cut it off?"
"Yes, this flesh is completely rotten and contaminated by seawater and curses. Linda cannot heal herself, and healing spells and medicine are ineffective. We can only cut it off and let new flesh grow in its place," Charlotte explained, as she continued working on three more wounds.
"I see," Leo suddenly understood.
No wonder he had tried so many methods with no success in healing Linda's wounds.
Over twenty years of traditional thinking had never led him to consider removing this rotten flesh. The medical school never taught students to treat patients this way.
In the eyes of the physician association, wouldn't such a method be seen as heretical?
Charlotte held the sharp scalpel in her hand, her gaze focused, her expression calm, and her movements precise.
The scalpel against the flesh, a clean cut, and a piece of rotten flesh fell into the tray with precision.
A clean wound appeared; the incision was smooth. Mermaids didn't have many blood vessels, so there was no horrifying scene of blood splattering everywhere.
Watching Charlotte's proficiency, Leo was well aware that if he were the one standing at the operating table, holding the sharp scalpel, his hands would tremble and he wouldn't know how to make the incision.
The patient lying on the operating bed was a living person!
How could Charlotte remain so composed and calm while doing all of this with such focus and expertise?
Although the cleaned wounds looked terrifying, they were not difficult to treat with healing spells. They healed well and wouldn't leave any scars.
In no time, thirty wounds had been treated.
Charlotte put away her scalpel, took a step back, and said to Leo, "Now, use your healing spells to heal these thirty wounds."
Leo nodded and began chanting spells silently as he held his magic wand.
Threads of green light flowed out from the wand, entering the wounds on Linda's clavicle, and those seemingly bloody wounds began to heal visibly, growing pink, tender flesh that connected seamlessly with the surrounding skin, becoming smooth.
On the side, Vivian couldn't help but look at Leo a bit more.
So, this chubby-looking guy was an intermediate-level healing mage.
It seemed his strength surpassed hers.
"They're healed!"
Leo cried tears of joy as he looked at the completely healed wounds.
Linda's beautiful clavicle and slender neck were restored to their original state.
The wounds that had been impossible to heal, which had caused Leo so much frustration, were now truly healed using the healing spells.
Charlotte hadn't lied to him. He had indeed found a way to heal Linda.
