Chapter 653: The wonderful interview trip of 'Nevis Herald'
“Painless childbirth?”
Blake Shearer, the new editor of the Nevis Herald, pushed up his glasses and asked in disbelief.
Black was once a student at Bridge Magic Academy, studying necromancy. However, after two years of study, he was not even able to advance from a mage apprentice to a formal magician, and was judged to have no talent and no value for training.
And the employment opportunities for Necromancers are very narrow, so narrow that it is sad. In contrast, it was the knowledge and education he received in the process of learning magic that allowed him to find a job as an editor...
The Nevis Herald is not a mainstream newspaper in Nevis, but it is not comparable to a third-rate tabloid. Its target readers are mainly businessmen, workshop owners and city hall clerks, who have a reasonable income and have a certain level of education.
, people who consciously have the obligation to change society...
Of course, if you want to change society, you must keep up with technological changes. As for technological changes, the most cutting-edge trends are in "Arcana" and "Magic", as well as the latest research of magicians...
Blake Shearer got the job, hosting a column in the Nevis Herald dedicated to introducing citizens to magic that could change their lives.
To this end, he has been keeping in touch with his classmates and seniors in the college, and has also heard the latest version from them...
"Yes, painless delivery!"
His classmate Daniel Moder answered affirmatively:
"Have you heard of cesarean section? There was an article in the last issue of "Arcane" and "Magic". It was researched by Master Nordmark at our Oak Grove Medical Clinic. Now he is leading us to study cesarean section.
Painful childbirth…”
Blake Shearer certainly knew about cesarean section. He even went to the White Tower, borrowed these two journals, and asked Daniel for a lot of inside information. Using this information, he published an article:
"Caesarean section can greatly reduce the maternal mortality rate. It can be said to be one of the most useful medical methods in this era. Unfortunately, the cost of a cesarean section, magic and surgery together is as high as 2,000 gold coins. This is
Let it be destined to serve only the rich and powerful..."
As soon as this article came out, the sales volume of the current newspaper increased by 500 copies, and readers kept writing letters to inquire. For this, he received a bonus of one gold coin. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper appreciated him very much and promised to give him a salary increase at the end of the year:
"What a pity. If there is better content that is more relevant to our readership, you can get a salary increase now! Be promoted to senior editor! Young man, you are the only editor with a magic background in our newspaper, and I am optimistic about you!"
Blake was greatly encouraged and came to find new content from his classmates. This time, he got a surprise:
"I know you think cesarean section is too expensive, but this time is different!" Daniel leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, his eyes shining:
"The cost of painless delivery is much lower! The current quote is for a painless delivery for 100 gold coins. If it is painless for only the most painful few hours, it only costs a dozen gold coins!"
"So good!"
Blake was immediately excited. A dozen gold coins were almost equal to the income of the readers of the Nevis Herald for several months, half a year, or at most a year. With such an income, his wife would suffer less pain during childbirth.
…
There will definitely be someone willing! Someone will definitely care about this news!
Blake's first thought was to apply for an interview with a medical clinic. Before he could finish the thought, he was photographed back:
What kind of interview is this? An interview alone cannot get you the first-hand, freshest, information that readers are most concerned about! If you want to make big news, you need to make readers immersed in it!
And it just so happened that his wife was about to give birth...
Blake gritted his teeth and took out fifteen gold coins. After thinking for a while, he added another, and then another, and finally discharged five shiny gold coins. As a new editor, his one-year salary, plus bonuses, minus food
With overhead, the rest is all here:
"My dear, I will take you to a good place! Maybe it can help you give birth safely and avoid a lot of pain..."
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Oak Grove Infirmary, or what the coachmen called the "Red Cross," and someone immediately came to pick him up. He saw that his wife was carrying a heavy belly and was walking hard, and even two savages carried her out.
A stretcher, directly helping the person onto the stretcher:
"Are you coming here to give birth? Madam will be sent directly to the red house. Sir, go this way and register at the front desk of the clinic first..."
Register your name, age, address, month of pregnancy, and pay 1 gold coin for three days of hospitalization. Blake Shearer was taken to meet his wife. In the corridor inside the red house, a silent nurse in white walked around quickly,
Carrying the stretcher, changing the bedding, and delivering the mother...
Including the mothers in labor, the stretcher bed weighing more than 200 kilograms was as light as nothing in the hands of two petite nurses in white.
Blake always felt that the way they acted was a bit strange. He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his eyes again, and suddenly realized:
Isn’t this a skeleton soldier’s trap?
The necromancer's favorite trick when he was in the academy!
Why are the workers all skeletons? Is it too late for me to take my wife and leave now?!
However, the wallet told him that 3 gold coins had been paid, and he had agreed in advance that no refund would be given;
Reason told him that Oak Grove Medical Clinic is the safest delivery care facility in Nevis, and its charges are much cheaper than hiring a midwife and a magician to come to your home together;
The front desk told him that due to his status as a magician, his wife could receive half the discount on delivery services at Oak Grove Medical Center...
Forget it, you can't have trouble with your wallet. Blake Shearer accompanied his wife and was taken to a small empty room. In addition to a bed, a stool, and an antler on the wall,
Empty, nothing...
"Madam, please face the wall, sit down on the stool, sit upright. Take off your shirt and expose your back, that's all." The female nurse who guided them had a gentle smile and friendly language:
"A spell caster will come over to check you later. He is a male, but he can only see your back. He is at least 1 meter away from you and will not touch you. Don't be afraid~"
"Wait, why is it male?"
Blake and his wife asked at the same time. The female nurse's smile did not change:
"Oh, because all female spell casters work in the delivery room. These tasks that don't come into contact with the mother's body should be done by men as much as possible."
At this time, the door opened, and a necromancer walked in quickly, and he looked at Black face to face. The two of them were startled, and the necromancer immediately backed away:
"Old classmate? Then I don't have to do the work, you can do it yourself. Use [Detection Magic] to look at your wife, and use [Mage's Trick] to dye the sixth thoracic vertebra on the back and make a mark. This is used to position the painless delivery.
Yes, don’t find the wrong location!”
After saying that, there was a bang and the door closed. Blake Shearer: "..."
He had no choice but to roll up his sleeves. Fortunately, in the process of learning to become a necromancer, the knowledge he mastered was not fully returned to the teacher. After stumbling and stumbling, he finally found the sixth thoracic vertebra. After completing the marking, he sent his wife out and quietly grabbed the old man.
classmate:
"...Hey, I did this job, can I waive some of the treatment costs?"
"What are you thinking! You didn't charge these fees at all! Master Nordmark had to do a project and waived a large amount of fees in the name of research. Otherwise, do you think the accommodation fee of 3 gold coins is enough? Stop talking and get off.
A check!”
The next check is also completed by a male mage. Moreover, it is also a male necromancer.
Blake Shearer watched helplessly as his wife was helped onto the bed, her legs spread and raised up. Fortunately, she didn't need to take off her clothes. The nurse only asked repeatedly: "There are no metal objects on the body? Are there any metal objects on the edge of the clothes, the belt, or the pockets?"
Then a necromancer knelt between his wife's legs, released magic, looked from top to bottom, from front to back, from all angles. Not only looked, but compared with a ruler:
"Anteroposterior diameter of pelvic entrance, 11m!"
"Interspinous diameter of ischium, 9.8m!"
"Width of sciatic notch, 5.8m!"
"Fetal head biparietal diameter, 8.9m!"
...What is this guy doing?
Judging from the casting gesture, it seems to be the [Detection Magic] he used just now, but can you see the size of the fetus' head in this way?
