Chapter 625: That Gretel Wants to Steal the Source of Our Disease?

The VIP ward that Grete wanted just flew away with wings.

Although the Earl of Argyll was very impressed by him and very grateful for his treatment suggestions, it was impossible to give him much more than the normal reward for this.

In fact, the Earl of Argyll donated a thousand gold coins to the medical clinic only in the name of his daughter. In theory, it allows more poor people, especially poor mothers, to receive medical services——

Not too much, not too little, just average.

Only poor High Priest Perry was caught in a dilemma. After studying hard for a month, before I could even enter the operating room to observe, the person I was supposed to serve had a miscarriage. She had a miscarriage...

"Do you still want to continue studying?"

Grete asked with a smile. High Priest Perry gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously:

"study!"

You have all learned this, and the hardships ahead cannot be in vain!

Besides, if you don't have to worry about many arts, there are a lot of opportunities to serve the nobles in the Spring Water Temple. In case of difficult childbirth, this skill can be life-saving. If others can't, but you can, you can excel and take the lead!

No matter what, it's better than my own family can't handle it, so go next door and ask the magician for help.

Not only did he learn it by himself, but he also went to Gretel with a shy face:

"Mage Nordmark, I have two disciples. Can you call me over to help me? One is level 5 and the other is level 6. They can both help and will never cause any trouble for you..."

They are all spell casters around 40 years old. At this age and this level of spell casting, it is already difficult to take a step forward, and it is not easy to host the temple independently.

Both of them were from minor noble families, and without family support, they either had to go to a small remote place to preside over a temple, or they could only live in a small corner of the large temple in Nevis and beg for food from others.

"Okay." Grete smiled, not embarrassed at all. "I only have two conditions -"

"You say! Let them work in the medical center for two years in vain!"

Well, when I was an apprentice, I worked for nothing. This is something that is beyond the conditions and is a matter of course. Gretel stretched out his palm and bent his fingers one by one:

"First, if they want to learn cesarean section surgery, they must be like you and commit to saving 20 poor mothers every year."

"This is not difficult, I agreed for them."

High Priest Perry immediately patted his chest without thinking.

In the past few days, he had also seen that Grete performed cesarean sections at a rate of one per half an hour, one per half an hour. Even if the speed is twice as slow as him, three days is enough to handle 20 people.

What does it mean to spend three days a year doing charity?

Even if their spring water temple mainly serves the nobles, they still have to do some charity for the common people occasionally!

"What about the second one?" he asked anxiously. Gretel smiled:

"Second, I'm asking for your help to find a group of midwives for nobles and wealthy people to receive training. It doesn't need to be many, just 10 to 20. I can't fit any more here."

The first batch of midwives have been trained almost completely and can basically be released for use. The next step is to expand influence from top to bottom. After getting through the top management, you can collect everything in one network——

At that time, he can go to the City Hall and the Magic Council and talk confidently:

For the health of mothers and newborns, all midwives in the city should receive training! At the same time, publicity will be spread to let all pregnant women who cannot give birth know where to go for cesarean section!

Well, of course, it would be even better if you can get administrative subsidies by the way. Even if you can’t do that, you can still get more donations, right?

"Is that okay?" He looked at High Priest Perry eagerly. High Priest Perry lowered his head and pondered, then smiled bitterly:

"let me try……"

Midwives for nobles and wealthy people are not just available. Although these people are considered to be in the middle and lower classes, they have little wealth and little prestige. More importantly, they all have backgrounds and know where to catch up with the big shots.

What's more important is that these are often received by wealthy families three days, a week, or even a month or two in advance, and they pay close attention to the situation of their female relatives. Too many were taken away at once, and many big shots will protest!

He thought for a while, asked for a pile of information from Gretel, and went back to find the chief priest of the main temple of Nevis, the High Priest of Moria:

"This is the condition put forward by Master Nordmark. I think it is also good for us to let the midwives learn these things. At least fewer people will die...can you?"

High Priest Moria stroked his beard and pondered slightly. This old man's spellcasting level is as high as level 17. He is 112 years old this year and has been in charge of the main temple for more than 30 years. Over the past hundred years, we have witnessed countless ups and downs.

He has seen all kinds of healers, those who are dedicated to climbing the ladder, those who are immersed in the study of magical arts, and those who are dedicated to treating illnesses and saving lives. In his eyes, this Nordmark mage was someone who wholeheartedly treated illnesses and saved people. He was quiet and harmless, and even worthy of his appreciation.

Promoting public health, establishing infectious disease hospitals, promoting cowpox vaccination... One after another, when the little mage defended the poor, the light shining on him was so bright that it could illuminate the entire city.

Now, the Nordmark mage wants to recruit midwives to study. Although this request is a bit strange, it is not too outrageous. However, as the High Priest of Moria is in a high position, he has to think further——

"Invite all the midwives who cater to the nobility for training? After the training, if the midwives encounter any problems that cannot be solved, won't they recommend others to him?"

There are already signs. Viscount Callender and Earl of Argyll, whenever something happened at home, they would ask Master Nordmark to take a look. And if things continue like this...

"Your Excellency, Chief Priest, this technique of Master Nordmark is really useful in saving the lives of pregnant women!" High Priest Perry hurriedly handed over a stack of information:

"This is the record of pregnant women treated in the medical center after they started the midwife training program. In two months, 200 pregnant women, not a single one died!"

"oh……"

Priest Moria was slightly moved.

He was not very clear about the average maternal mortality rate, but in his impression, it was normal for two or three deaths out of a hundred. Even if the mother is pampered and has magical support, it is not surprising that one in a hundred will die.

"Furthermore, the mother's pain will be much less if she takes a baby by caesarean section, and she doesn't have to struggle for days and nights. Priest, we must learn this technique. Devout believers of the goddess should receive such care!"

In other words, devout believers who can afford to donate money can afford the magical cost of cesarean section, and such services should be provided to them...

"Let me think about it first." Priest Moria thought for a moment, then simply left this record and dismissed Perry. He carefully turned over the form from beginning to end, and then from end to end, and finally picked up the bell and shook it quickly:

"Go and ask Aunt Salia to come. I have something to discuss with her."
