Chapter 545: It Still Hurts After Treatment, What’s Wrong with You?
The operation was over, the thrombectomy was successfully completed, and there was another powerful tool for dealing with severe cases.
Gretel was in a good mood. He turned to the two students with a smile:
"What's up?"
"I'm looking for microorganisms that have similar effects to Penicillium, and I've made some progress..."
"I have some ideas about the development of rabies vaccines..."
The two students reported their work progress one by one and raised questions. Gretel also fulfilled his duties as the host of the Mage Tower and answered their questions one by one:
Well, I provide topic selection, correct papers, answer doubts, and assign books. As I live my life, I look more and more like a subject leader...
Unfortunately, there has been no decisive progress in the research conducted by the two students. Gretel had no choice but to send them to continue their work. He returned to the consulting room and picked up a copy of "Arcane" that was just published this month:
"Mage Nordmark! Mage Nordmark!"
"..."
Grete's mood at this time was no different from that of the intern who wanted to take some time to read the medical examination materials during his shift, but was called away by the nurse.
But it was an acquaintance who came. Moreover, the other party came directly to him without even considering letting others treat him. Grete could only emerge from the consulting room and receive him with a smile:
"Viscount Calderon, I haven't seen you for a week. How are you doing, sir? Is your bowel movement still smooth?"
After talking for so long, Gretel's impression of the Viscount is still fixed on "the father of a child with congenital anus"...
"It's getting better and better." Viscount Cadren was limping, not daring to touch the ground with one foot, and was helped in by two servants. Just like this, I can’t help but gossip:
"Why did you offend old Odie? We were playing cards in the club just now, and he kept saying that you were not good at healing!"
who? Grete was at a loss. Are there any patients I have treated recently with this name?
"That tooth has been hurting for two days, and I came to your place for treatment twice..."
"ah!"
Gretel suddenly realized. The one who had a heart attack!
"how is he?"
"I'm in great spirits! When I was playing cards just now, I won 20 gold coins! - Forget about this, just help me take a look at my ankle..."
Gretel casually dragged a stool over for him to rest his feet on. Looking down, the Viscount's trouser legs were rolled up high, his socks were down to his insteps, and his right ankle was indeed swollen into a bun, red and shiny:
"What's wrong? Is your foot twisted?"
He smelled of alcohol when he spoke, and he was so drunk before noon that he was wrestling and twisting his feet. He deserved it, right?
"That's right! I was drinking with someone last night. When I came back, I walked too fast and fell down the steps. It was too late and I didn't take it seriously. Who knows now..."
Grete had already taken out the [Endless Ink Pen]. Go around in a circle, make sure there are no fractures, and then start treatment:
"There's nothing wrong with the bones. It's just a ligament strain at most. Just a treatment. Wait, it'll be soon..."
Do you have to come all the way for this minor injury? Just drink a bottle of potion for treating minor injuries. Is it worth driving half a city on a carriage?
Are you here to treat an injury, or are you here to gossip?
Gretel cursed while holding the Viscount's toes, internally rotating, abducting, and pressing. After determining the location of the injury, activate the healing technique and treat them one by one.
What kind of treatment for minor injuries does not exist? It is impossible to even treat minor injuries. He just gathered a bunch of positive energy and stroked it along the muscles one by one:
Repair injured ligaments!
Accelerate local tissue metabolism!
Speed up edema absorption!
Promote soft tissue healing!
This minor injury could have been treated when he was still a priest's apprentice. Now, he is more relaxed and happy——
This kind of treatment has accurate positioning and consumes less mental energy. By the way, you can also review the anatomy of the ankle.
The only drawback is that the speed is a little slow - but so what, anyway, there are not 300 patients outside the clinic waiting to be seen.
The swollen ankle area has subsided visibly. While undergoing treatment, Viscount Cadren felt that the pain was relieved, and he began to praise him with joy:
"I just said that your treatment skills are excellent! That old Odie also said you were talking nonsense. It was obviously a toothache, but you insisted that he had a bad heart-"
"Sit down! I haven't finished checking yet!"
Gretel shouted. Viscount Cadren ignored him. Not only did he stand up and walk, he also jumped vigorously. Sure enough, he didn't listen to the doctor's advice and suffered so much before his eyes that he screamed and fell down.
Gretel didn't help him at all. With a flick of his fingers, a floating disk was summoned underneath. Viscount Calderon fell on the floating saucer, hugged his right foot, and then his left foot:
"Ouch, ouch, ouch - it hurts..."
Gretel watched with cold eyes, flew out four [Powerful Mage Hands], and helped him sit up. Look at the Viscount again, his legs are curled up together, his feet dare not touch the ground, especially his thumbs, which are deliberately raised high.
"...When did your feet start hurting?"
"I fell down just now..."
"Really? No? My right foot is twisted, why does my left foot hurt?"
Gretel stared at the other person. The Viscount bared his teeth and wanted to bend down to rub his feet, but he didn't dare to touch them and took a deep breath. After being glared at by Gretel for several times, he hesitated and said:
"Okay, I've been hurting for several days...it hurts again after it's cured, it still hurts after it's cured..."
So why not just tell the truth right out of the gate? Is it to save the two medical fees, or is it to test my strength and see if I can cure the disease without a detailed medical history?
……Why bother.
There are too many smart-aleck patients like this. If the disease cannot be cured, the patient has to endure the hardship...
Grete sighed, pointed a mage's hand, and pulled down the Viscount's socks. When the socks fell to the ground, Grete glanced over and saw that the big toe of his right foot was red and swollen, almost crystal clear, exactly the same as the ankle before.
"A few days?"
"It wasn't so red yesterday! It only hurt a little bit yesterday..."
"What did you eat yesterday?" There was no need to ask whether he had drank alcohol. From the moment the Lord Viscount came in, Gretel could smell the smell of alcohol on his breath. Sure enough, Viscount Cadren reported a lot of names without thinking:
Trout, seabass, eel, pan-fried foie gras, oxtail braised in red wine...
彳庍口巴.
If you don’t have gout, who does?
However, gout combined with ankle sprain is rare and can easily be missed. That is to say, he has rich clinical experience and has seen such patients before, so he immediately thought about gout.
Gretel got up and wanted to get him colchicine. After thinking for a while, he suddenly stopped:
"You have two choices." He told the other party seriously:
"First, choose drug treatment. Chenghui costs five gold coins, and it will take effect in 12 to 24 hours. After 24 to 48 hours, the pain will be significantly reduced. Second..."
"I choose second!"
Viscount Calderon shouted impatiently.
