Chapter 111
Garrett Nordmark walked happily in his newly opened hospital.
The hospital is located on the east side of Hartland City. In terms of housing or shops, the location is not considered great. To the north is the area where warriors, craftsmen, apprentices, and low-ranking priests reside – in other words, the middle-class area of the city. If you go a bit south, you'll find yourself in the slums.
For those who can afford a two-story building like this, they should ideally live a bit further north. But for Garrett, this location is perfect.
Close to the patients!
Close to the poor people who can't afford treatment!
Why did he open a hospital? Of course, it's to teach more doctors and treat more patients! It's not about making money. When he needs money, he can always find a wealthy person to negotiate with!
Well, calling it a hospital is a bit too much. A third-level hospital should have more than 500 beds and over 500 health technicians; a second-level hospital should have 100-499 beds and no fewer than 100 health technicians; a first-level hospital should have 20-99 beds and no fewer than 14 health technicians, with at least 3 doctors and 5 nurses.
Looking left and right, this so-called "hospital" doesn't even meet the standards of a first-level hospital, let alone a community health service center. At best, it's just a health service station.
Well, regardless, it's my medical facility! Mine!
Behind the reception desk, the kitchen has been transformed into a sterilization room, equipped with a specially made pressure cooker, responsible for the disinfection of all instruments, gauze, and cotton in the hospital.
Next to the sterilization room is the temporarily unused laboratory, and on the other side is the staircase leading upstairs. The toilet is located at the back of the small building, accessed through the staircase.
The second floor is reserved for the doctors – or rather, the priests. Going up the stairs, the first thing you see is a spacious living room and dining room. To the right of the living room, directly above the consultation rooms on the first floor, is the priests' lounge; to the right is a corridor, walking along the corridor, to the south are the study and Garrett's bedroom, to the north are the storage room, pharmacy, and alchemy room. What? A kitchen?
A bunch of guys who've never touched spring water with their fingers want a kitchen! Let them refine herbs if they want, but cooking might just blow up the kitchen!
The tavern is nearby; just have food delivered every day!
It took half a month to decorate it to this extent – the decoration team from the Temple of the Spring Goddess is indeed reliable!
Garrett counted on his fingers. The territory he occupies, including the bedroom, study, and alchemy room, and currently, the dissecting room is also under his control. Adding up all the rooms, the area is close to 80 square meters!
Independence is indeed the best way to improve conditions. His residence in the Mage Tower was less than 40 square meters!
What makes Garrett even happier is that the bedroom, study, living room, and lounge all have smooth wooden floors; the consultation rooms, procedure room, treatment room, and dissecting room all have polished smooth bluestone floors, convenient for cleaning and corrosion-resistant.
The walls are covered with wooden panels, and the ceiling has wooden ceilings. Performing surgery won't suddenly drop dust...
The details make him even more pleased. The trays in each consultation room are sparkling clean, the gauze canisters are spotless, the tongue depressors are newly planed by a carpenter, polished clean without any burrs, and the trash bins and covered waste bins are separated. Just looking at the layout feels familiar.
Hmm, it's already a mature hospital, ready to receive patients!
Unfortunately, in the days leading up to the opening, the hospital had no business at all. Garrett wasn't in a hurry; he leisurely watched others memorize bones, skeletons, muscles, internal organs, vascular systems, sensory organs, nervous systems...
Keep it up!
"Little Garrett, can't you stop memorizing?" pleaded High Priest Holna with a dizzy and swollen head.
Damn, there are 206 bones in the human body, although some are paired – just over a hundred to memorize. And it's not just about memorizing names; it's about the shape, position, and relative position to other muscles, internal organs, and blood vessels...
Just the skull, with 23 bones, the frontal bone alone has 12 anatomical structures to memorize, such as the frontal scale, frontal node, and zygomatic process...
"If you don't want to memorize, step aside!" Joanna's shoulder swayed as she tried to push him away.
Copying techniques can only copy text, not pictures. There are a lot of images in "Systemic Anatomy." So Garrett only copied a few text versions of the textbooks, and as for the diagrams, they are hung high in the library for them to look at themselves...
This kind of learning is very painful. Holding the book, looking at the diagrams on the wall, raising the head, lowering the head, raising the head, lowering the head, trying hard to see, trying hard to memorize. Several people have to queue up to memorize the same diagram. The only advantage is that it's not easy to get cervical spondylosis...
"Not memorizing? Sure!" Garrett's voice came from afar. "If you can't memorize, you can't take the exam. If you fail the exam, you can't perform surgery with me – who's up for the exam first?"
"I'll do it!"
Little John jumped up and shouted.
Even a concise version of "Systemic Anatomy," which is only one-tenth of the content, is not that easy to memorize. After three days of life and death memorization, five people went to take the exam, and only two passed. Joanna from the Nature God's Temple, and Patrick from the Temple of the God of War – that fourth-level priest, the combat powerhouse.
The other three, all failed.
"How much more do we have to memorize?"
Shaking, High Priest Donald, who ranked last, asked.
Good question...
Garrett rested his chin on his hand. Using the hand that was free, he kept flexing and flexing, and flexing...
The Blue Life and Death Love, fifty-three volumes, also known as the full set of planning textbooks for clinical medicine. "Chinese Medicine," "Medical Computer Application," "Sports Science,"
"Hygiene Law" – you probably don't need to study them, but you have to catch up on high school mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. If you calculate it like this...
"Five years, studying 12 hours a day, diligently and talented, probably... you'll finish memorizing..." and then there's internship, residency, and lifelong work and study. Well, don't thank me too much.
With a gurgling sound, High Priest Donald fell to the ground, fainted.
Garrett suppressed a smile and dragged him to the side. Taking out a stack of textbooks, he thought for a moment, put back three:
"Come on, everyone who passed the exam, let's continue talking about joints..."
"Help me!!"
