Chapter 620: That Gretel wants to steal the source of our disease?
The VIP ward that Gretel 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 usual reward for this.
In fact, the Earl of Argyll only donated one thousand gold coins to the medical center in the name of his daughter. In theory, this allowed more poor people, especially poor mothers, to receive medical services.
Not too much, not too little, just average.
Only poor Priest Perry was faced with a dilemma. After studying hard for a month, before he could even enter the operating room to observe, the person he was originally intended to serve had a miscarriage. He had a miscarriage...
"Do you still want to continue studying?"
Gretel 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, you don’t have to worry about many arts. There are a lot of opportunities to serve the nobles in the Quanshui Temple. If you encounter a difficult childbirth, this skill can save your life. If others don’t know it, but you can, you can shine and you can 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:
"Master 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 run the temple independently.
Both of them were from minor aristocrats, and without family support, they either had to go to remote places to preside over temples, or they could only live in a small corner of the great temple in Nevis and beg for food from others.
"Okay." Grete smiled and was not embarrassed at all. "I only have two conditions."
"You say! Let them work in the medical center for two years for nothing!"
Well, when I was an apprentice, I worked for nothing. This is something that is natural beyond the conditions. Grete 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 one cesarean section every half an hour, one every half an hour. Even if the speed was twice as slow as his, three days would still be 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 second place?" he asked urgently. 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 and can basically be released for use. The next step is to expand their influence from top to bottom. After getting through to the top management, they can all be covered under 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 should be spread so that all pregnant women who cannot give birth naturally know where to go for cesarean section!
Well, of course, it would be 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 middle and lower class, they have little wealth and little reputation. More importantly, they all have backgrounds and know where to get help.
Big shot.
What's more important is that these are often taken to the homes of 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. If too many are taken away at once, 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 midwives learn these things. At least fewer people will die...is that okay?"
The great 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, he has witnessed countless ups and downs.
He has seen all kinds of healers, those who are dedicated to climbing upwards, those who immerse themselves in the study of magical arts, those who are dedicated to treating illnesses and saving lives. In his eyes, this Nordmark mage is someone who is dedicated to healing illnesses and saving lives. He is quiet and harmless, and even worth it.
He appreciates it.
Promote public health, establish infectious disease hospitals, promote cowpox vaccination... One after another, when the little mage defended the poor, the light shining on his body was so intense that it could illuminate the entire city.
Now, the Nordmark mage wants to recruit a midwife to study. Although this request is a bit strange, it is not too outrageous. However, the high priest of Moria has to think further.
"Invite all the midwives who cater to the nobility to receive training? After the training, if the midwives encounter any problems that cannot be solved, won't they recommend others to him?"
Now there are signs. Viscount Callender, Earl of Argyll, and whenever something happens to their families, they will think of asking Master Nordmark to come and 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 were born, and not a single one died!"
"oh……"
Priest Moria was slightly moved.
He wasn't very clear about the average maternal mortality rate, but in his impression, it was normal for two or three out of a hundred to die. Even if the mother was pampered and had magical support, it wouldn't be surprising for one out of a hundred to die.
"Furthermore, the mother will suffer much less pain by caesarean section and will not 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 the record and dismissed Perry. He carefully turned the form from beginning to end, and then from the end to the beginning.
Finally I picked up the bell and shook it quickly:
"Go and ask Sister Salia to come. I have something to discuss with her."
