Chapter 688 Does Your Hospital Have No Compassion? !

"So I'm going to have a tower spirit?"

Grete was happy at first, and then surprised. Of course, this surprise cannot be expressed directly in front of the Baroness:

So I took on a loan of 20,000 gold coins? ——Furthermore, with these 20,000 gold coins, don’t you expect to use the queen’s treatment fees, the treatment fees of major clients of the Maternity and Infant Hospital, and the training fees of the Spring Water Temple to repay the debt?

——Why are there people in the parliament who want to buy and sell by force?

Hey, forget it, don’t worry about this anymore. The left and right councils did not say when the 20,000 gold coins - or 5,000 contribution points - would be repaid, nor did they specify the loan interest rate, so they could shamelessly treat it as an interest-free loan. If they want to enforce it, I'll...

I'll go find the teacher for support!

Of course, besides this, there are other things that worry Gretel. Mainly financial pressure:

The newly hired midwives, nurses, and support staff should at least be paid their wages, right?

Spellcasters, there is no need to pay for their salary - Gretel can now shamelessly say "What kind of salary do you need to learn a craft?" - but for daily expenses, such as lunch, afternoon tea, etc., the hospital will not pay for it. So let them bring their own?

Not to mention, as the number of operations increases, logistical expenses, such as charcoal water purification, bed sheets and bedding, etc., are also increasing significantly...

And this money can only be earned by yourself. The queen has already paid 20,000 gold coins in one lump sum. Regardless of the payment method, it is basically a no-brainer to expect her to increase funding for the hospital.

Grete had no choice but to go to the former Lord Dean. Although Gretel gained theoretical control of the Maternity and Infant Hospital, he didn't take too much care. The operation of the hospital, so far, still depends on the diligent support of this Lord——

"Want to place an ad in the newspaper?"

"Yes." Grete spread his hands:

"Let's just say we plan to start a new medical experiment to compare labor analgesia with natural labor without analgesia."

Well, if you only require analgesia during the second stage of labor, which is when the contractions are the most intensive and painful, the casting fee can be as low as 10 gold coins. If full analgesia is required, the fee is 100 gold coins.

"Then, for women participating in this program, if the condition progresses to the point where a cesarean section is necessary, the hospital can waive the cost of the surgery."

Lord Graf brushed the record. After remembering this sentence, the tip of the pen paused, and he raised his head to look at Gretel, but stopped talking. Forget it, forget it, you are doing the surgery, you are also throwing away the magical healing skills, you can skip it if you want...

"So that's what you need?"

"I need precise placement." Grete only knows this about advertising:

"The target group is probably families who are willing to pay about 10 gold coins to 100 gold coins for pregnant women to give birth. I don't know which newspapers or other channels can accurately reach this group of people. I leave it to you."

Also, I’m counting on you to improve the hospital’s financial situation!

Lord Graff took the order and left. It has to be said that this Lord is indeed deeply rooted in the royal capital, and can get through any road up or down. From the third day after he released the news, pregnant women from middle-class and upper-middle-class families came to the hospital one after another.

Padma Stout held her sister's hand and slowly walked into the small white building, frowning slightly. This small building looks neat and clean from the outside, which makes people feel good about it, but there is a strange smell inside. Cold, hard, even a little pungent——

"Madam, this is the smell of disinfectant." The nurse in charge of receiving her noticed her words and immediately explained:

"Master Nordmark's research results show that regular disinfection with disinfectant can reduce infection and reduce the occurrence of puerperal fever. Rooms, corridors, and even all instruments in the hospital will be regularly sprayed and wiped with it."

Oh well. For your own safety, let the scent of disinfectant replace the scent of flowers you are familiar with and love...

Padma slowly walked into Ward No. 3, lay down on the bed, and decided to take a break while the contractions were not too severe. As soon as I closed my eyes, I was exploded by a scream:

"ah--"

! ! !

Scared to death!

The heart rate doubles directly!

Padma sat up straight, pressing her hand against her racing heart. On the sofa next to the bed, my sister Liqi had jumped up and rushed to the door. As soon as the door was opened, a sharp scream immediately came in through the crack of the door:

"Ah - it hurts me so much - please let me do it, let me do it -"

"Madam, your current situation does not meet the indications for cesarean section." A young woman's voice responded to her. Calmly, calmly, as if it was just a routine matter:

"Please be patient a little longer and don't waste your energy at this stage. The cervix has been opened for seven fingers, and you can give birth in a few hours."

"I don't want...please let me have an autopsy - or you can give me painless surgery, please -"

"Madam, when you were admitted to the hospital, your family only paid for one hour of analgesia, which has been used up according to your request. Do you want to continue paying?"

"this……"

Padma became curious, walked out of the ward slowly, leaned against the door frame and watched. Scanning left and right, several doors opened one after another, and more than one pregnant woman or family member of a pregnant woman poked her head out to take a look.

In the corridor, a disheveled pregnant woman with disheveled hair turned her back to her. She was holding on to another old woman and trying to breathe in. Her body was almost soft to the ground:

"Please! Please! Please give me pain relief, I'm going to die from the pain! Please -"

"Isn't the money already paid?" A trace of disgust flashed across the face of the old woman she was holding, and she shook her off hard:

"It's all because you couldn't help it, so you used it in advance! After you used it, you just endured it. My son works hard at sea, how much money can he earn in a year, how easy is it for the family to come up with ten gold coins!"

"I..." The pregnant woman was interrupted after saying one word. The severe pain made her unable to even support her body, and she slowly knelt on the ground:

"I have a dowry... After I give birth, I will go back and borrow money from my parents' family... Please use it for me first. I really can't bear it anymore... I really can't do it anymore..."

No matter how hard-hearted a person is, seeing her kneeling down and begging like this will make his heart soften. At least Padma was like this. If she hadn't been in labor herself, she would have wanted to go up and help the woman in labor and comfort her, "Sit down inside first. The ground is too cold and it will hurt your body."

"Your dowry doesn't belong to the family! If you go to borrow money, you don't want the family to repay it!"

However, the old woman remained unmoved. She put her hands on her hips and spoke forcefully:

"Who doesn't feel the pain when a woman gives birth? Generations of our ancestors have experienced pain like this. You are so delicate, so why do you need pain relief? If this family could not guarantee that nothing would happen, who would have spent such a large sum of money to send you in? !”

Padma closed her eyes slightly. Women do not have their own property or income, so they are bullied like this. Just as he was thinking this, a man rushed out from the ward next to him and pointed at the young woman who was arranging analgesia for pregnant women:

"Does your hospital have no mercy? Seeing that she is in such pain, why don't you give her any pain relief?!"
