Chapter 660 Pregnant Women Coming Across the Sea
The content published by the "Nevis Herald" made the business of Oak Grove Medical Clinic, or to be precise, the Red House Branch of Oak Grove Medical Clinic, suddenly pick up.
What do people like most?
First, it is free or discounted, and secondly, it is free or discounted for a limited period, and the period may be very short!
Especially one like Oak Grove Medical Clinic!
Huge discounts (basic fee is 3 gold coins, examination fee is exempted from 350 gold coins), huge discount (basic fee is 3 gold coins, examination fee is waived + cesarean section fee, a total of 2,000 gold coins)!
There is a limited time limit (the caster cannot continue the discount indefinitely), and the time limit may be very short (it takes half a month to collect enough data to publish a paper, and after half a month, there may no longer be available)!
Anyone who has had the experience of grabbing eggs in a supermarket, or has seen relevant advertisements, will know how crowded the supermarket entrance can be in an instant on the morning when the discount day starts——
Rolling shutter doors can be squeezed through, customers can squeeze into fights at the door, elderly people can be squeezed down, and stampedes can occur!
If it weren't for the discount provided by Oak Grove Medical Clinic, which was only open to pregnant women, and those who were about to give birth, the door of the medical clinic would have been packed with people. Even so, after the newspaper was published, the number of inquiries and hospitalizations also increased significantly.
After all, you can’t afford two thousand gold coins, you can’t afford it with hundreds of gold coins, but you can still afford three gold coins, or 20 gold coins, right?
Gretel and the healers at the medical center were at ease. Rich people are treated, and people without money are treated. Anyway, the requirement of 500 cases in half a month will not change. Moreover, the level of service to patients will not change——
As long as they are not big customers who pay in full, they can only receive treatment here by relying on Oak Forest's free bill offer. Paying users?
Tsk, those few coins are just pocket change. If you don't want to learn crafts here, these three melons and two dates are really not uncommon.
What Grete really values is the special clients who are attracted to Oak Grove Medical Clinic because of its increased reputation. For example, today's person...
"Mr. Carlos! Mr. Carlos! There is a woman at the door with a big belly. We can't understand her!"
The security guard on duty hurried in to report. Gretel didn't care about the chores, and all these tasks were piled on Leon Carlos. What a level 2 necromancer, who has taken on the role of hospital director...
Or the responsibilities of the assistant hospital director.
And there was no promotion or salary increase. Except for the opportunity for additional surgery and a few casual instructions from Grete, there was nothing.
Carlos enjoyed it. To learn a skill, you should work more. The more comprehensive the ability you master, the more you can make yourself irreplaceable. Work harder and strive to become Mr. Master’s disciple!
Master Nordmark has only accepted apprentices so far, not formal disciples!
He quickened his pace and rushed to the door of the hospital, where he saw two strong and tall women standing in the middle of the hall. One was more nervous and closer to the door, while the other kept staring at the antlers on the wall, his body slightly arched, vaguely alert.
Just looking at their body shapes, postures, and bulging muscles, you can tell that these two people should be extraordinary warriors, and their levels are not low.
A bunch of dirty golden half-long hair sticks to the side of the face. He had thick hands and feet, his cheeks were flushed red by the sea breeze, and he looked a little cowed. The abdomen is somewhat bulging, and the palms of the hands are subconsciously protecting the abdomen;
She has long black hair, tied high into a ponytail, and looks neat and tidy. Her abdomen was bulging high, and she looked like she was seven or eight months pregnant, but her sword-holding posture was still fierce.
Led by Bernard, several barbarian guards subconsciously surrounded her. Except for Bernard, the other barbarians were on guard with nervousness, and seemed unable to defeat her...
What level are these two? The blond one doesn't look like he's at a high level, level five? Level six? The one with black hair seems to be taller, level seven? Or even eighth grade?
——These two are giving birth here and are struggling with pain. Can the midwives hold them down?
——If the trouble comes to the point where a cesarean section is needed, can sir do it? Or do you want to go to the Dark Gold Skeleton? Are they willing to accept being knifed by a skeleton?
Carlos thought in confusion, threw himself a [Language Proficient], stepped forward and bowed slightly:
"Two ladies, please sit down in the consulting room. Let's register your name and basic information——"
“x-on:#￥%&*……”
With a click, a bunch of foreign languages were spoken back to me. Sure enough, it is not the lingua franca of the Kingdom of Kent, nor even the lingua franca of the mainland...
I can't stand it without magic. You have to add the casting fee of [Language Proficiency] to the charged items, or the cost of temporarily hiring a translator, huh.
He made a secret note in his mind and invited them into the consulting room. The two ladies looked at each other. The black-haired lady calmly took a step back and raised her hand slightly:
"She came first. Let her go in first."
The blonde female warrior took a step back slightly, and then cautiously entered under the urging of the other party. Carlos prompted her to close the door and whispered:
"Name?"
"Melissa. Melissa Hemprey."
She adjusted her black veil and pretended she was a widow in response to inquiries. Unexpectedly, Carlos didn't care about any of this. He just followed the items on the form and asked them line by line:
"Where are you from? Age? Occupation? Level?"
"New...New World. 28 years old, professional...just came here, haven't found a job yet..."
"Ma'am, we are asking about your extraordinary level so that we can provide you with appropriate medical care." Carlos raised his head and smiled comfortingly at her:
"Looking at your appearance, you should be a warrior?"
"Yes, warrior, level 5 warrior." Melissa nodded repeatedly and tightened her skirt uneasily.
The money bag under her skirt contained the savings she had accumulated over the years, 350 gold coins. According to what the newspaper said, giving birth at Oak Grove Hospital should be enough...
Provided there is a discount. If you can't apply for free treatment, this amount of money will not be enough to cover the cost of cesarean section.
And can these magical fees and surgical fees be waived? The newspaper said that Master Mage’s research experiment will only last for half a month. After half a month, no one will know...
"How long have you been pregnant?"
"Six months... Sir, if I really need an cesarean section when I give birth, can I get a credit first?" She asked eagerly:
"I can work in the oak forest to pay off my debts...I just saw that there are no female escorts here. I thought you might need..."
Based on Mr.'s personality, he might be able to perform an autopsy on her for free...provided he can do it. Carlos complained silently and comforted her with a pleasant expression:
"Madam, don't worry. Please register the relevant information first, do a test, and I will apply for you. Maybe there will be good news? Don't worry, stress can also hurt the child..."
After registering her name and address, and agreeing to come to the medical clinic tomorrow to wait for news, Melissa opened the door and went out. The black-haired woman held the long sword and sat outside the consulting room with her eyes closed for a long time. Then she stepped inside and sat down opposite Carlos:
"Name?"
"Anna."
"Where did it come from? Occupation? Level?"
"Level 7 warrior."
"How many months are you pregnant?"
"Seven...seven and a half months."
Carlos lowered his head and brushed the records. Hearing this sentence, he raised his head slightly:
"Seven and a half months? Madam, you can check at the medical office. If you need to give birth as soon as possible, we will arrange for you to move in immediately. If the pregnancy is in good condition, it is recommended that you wait until natural delivery."
"What if I want to live here until I give birth?"
"This..." Carlos stopped writing and looked at the lady's appearance and clothing vaguely. His appearance is not too beautiful, but he has an awe-inspiring heroic spirit;
The skin is not considered delicate, and traces of Northland frost can even be clearly seen. However, with such intensity of training and such wind and snow, the delicateness of her skin was obviously beyond the normal range;
He is wrapped in a thick duffle coat, and his long hair is tied up with a rope. He looks low-key and simple, but the scabbard of the long sword in his hand comes from a high-level magic beast;
I don’t know the language of the Kingdom of Kent, but I can talk to him without any problems. Either I can at least understand him, or I have a magic weapon with [language proficiency] fixed in my body. The former means a good education, and the latter means financial ability beyond the professional level.
In short, this dark-haired lady is richer than she looks, quite a bit.
"Ma'am, I personally don't recommend living here forever..." Carlos replied thoughtfully:
"Our accommodation here is limited. There are three people per room in the ordinary ward, and there is only one room in the high-end ward. Once you move in, you are not allowed to leave the medical center unless necessary, and there is no place for daily martial arts practice. Moreover, you need to 100 gold coins a day..."
With a snap, a standard magic crystal was slapped in front of him. ——The White Tower's certificate of deposit is specially issued for those customers who are not magicians and cannot obtain a mage badge. It can be used in Nevis and other places where parliamentary magic towers are established.
...That's fine, rich people do whatever they want.
Anyway, the VIP ward in the red house is always full of people. 100 gold coins a day, food not included, all inspection fees paid by yourself. If you are a high-quality customer like this, stay here if you like.
"Madam, I must make a statement to you. Due to the composition of medical casters, some of your examinations and treatments will be performed by necromancers or other male casters."
Carlos added cautiously. Of course, there are discounts for big customers:
"...If you are concerned, you can also ask and we will try our best to arrange other magicians or priests to treat you..."
The black-haired female warrior frowned slightly. Soon, her brows relaxed again:
"It's okay. I was just going to see what Oak Grove Medical Clinic was like."
Carlos called a necromancer over and asked him to accompany Ms. Anna to go through admission procedures, conduct various examinations, and choose a room in the VIP ward. After all the procedures were completed and the ward door was closed, Anna carefully checked the surroundings and began to write at the desk:
"Dear Miss Veronica..."
