Chapter 674: Taking over the Royal Maternity and Infant Hospital!
Gretel doesn't have a good idea of how noble the Baroness's status is. However, a level 6 magician/level 6 priest, even if you don't count the bunch of bonuses behind them, can at least be on an equal footing with each other.
How big an official the Queen's clerk is is, this is even outside of Gretel's knowledge system. In the Kingdom of Kent, official positions are not divided into grades one to nine... If I have to apply it, it is probably the same as the clerk of ceremonies.
Is Jian Bingbi about the same?
In any case, the clerical lady assigned by the queen, Baroness Witteg, was quite capable. With a smile on her face, she invited Gretel and others to have lunch. The dishes were rich and exquisite, and everyone's taste was taken care of.
More importantly, she was well prepared for the guests' astonishing appetites. Even if Cerela ate plate after plate of lamb shanks, steaks, foie gras, sponge cakes, and waffles in front of her, she would not be able to eat them at all.
Without showing any emotion, he calmly directed the servants to serve the dishes.
And, there was no reduction in Bernard’s or any of the other guests’ food portions…
This kind of calmness and scheduling ability won the favor of everyone. So, when the banquet was over and Baroness Vitegue took them to the Royal Maternity and Infant Hospital, Cerela actually sat in the carriage and gave way to the Baroness.
Got the territory.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen is merciful and used her private property to build a maternal and infant hospital to benefit poor pregnant women in the capital. I have been following up since the beginning of the construction."
Baroness Witteg leaned upright on the back of the carriage chair, folded her hands, and her blue eyes sparkled:
"But I am not a spell caster, let alone a healer. So please take a look and see if there is anything that needs improvement?"
The Maternity and Infant Hospital is not far from the Queen's Villa. The carriage only travels for about half an hour. We turn a corner on the boulevard outside the palace, cross a field, and get close to the edge of the royal capital. Then, the carriage gets closer and closer.
It’s bumpy and the road is getting narrower and narrower…
Baroness Witeiger carefully looked at several spell casters. Serela was looking out of the car window, her face full of curiosity; Aunt Salia was looking straight away, twisting a string of rosary beads in her hand, her expression
Compassion, and Gretel...
Gretel looked around and found that he was quite satisfied?
"This is a good location."
The carriage stopped, and Gretel was the first to jump out of the carriage, looking left and right. The surrounding buildings were low and simple, obviously close to slums, but only in this way could poor pregnant women get treatment most conveniently;
In front of the hospital, an avenue extends to both sides. Although the road is not well built, it can still be used for horse-drawn carriages. This means that small citizens, workshop owners, and middle-income people also have the possibility to come here;
If he saw it correctly, in the deepest part of the hospital, farthest from the slums, there was a small building surrounded by a rose fence. The outer wall was actually painted a light red. At first glance, it was obvious that it was for nobles.
of……
"How many wards are there here? Are there midwives? Are there any spellcasters who have arrived first? How many pregnant women are currently admitted, and what other facilities are there?"
He asked a series of questions, and Baroness Witteg also answered them one by one:
The construction of the maternal and infant hospital started one and a half months ago, and it was completed a month later, and immediately began to treat pregnant women. So far, at least the wards in the slums are full.
Of course, there are only 20 wards with three people in each room, so it is difficult not to overcrowd them. In this area, 30 midwives are hired to work in it, each of whom is paid one gold coin per month, with three shifts of 12 hours each.
As for the Xiaobailou, which is for small businessmen, workshop owners, city hall clerks, craftsmen, low-level military officers, and other middle-income people, there are currently ten rooms with one bed in each room. The quota for midwives in the Xiaobailou is 15.
There are also three shifts of rest, each shift is 12 hours.
The small building painted in red, also known as the Rose Building, is only for nobles with titles and spell casters. There are five rooms in total, each of which is empty. Five midwives have nothing to do and hang out there every day...
…
At this point, everyone has already entered the hospital building. Between the slum ward and the small white building, there stands a small gray building made of bricks and stones. There are already several people standing upright in front of the building to greet them. Baroness Vitegue pointed them one by one.
Author, introducing Gretel:
"This is Lord Graf, who has been ordered by the Queen to manage this hospital."
A little old man with gray hair and a serious face took a step forward with his mouth pursed and nodded to Gretel.
"This is Mr. Dodge, a senior accountant and the hospital's financial controller."
A middle-aged man in a tuxedo and neatly tied bow tie who almost strangled himself came out of the queue and bowed to Grete.
"This is Ms. Haynes, a fifth-level pastor of the Order of the God of Nature. She heard that we were going to build a maternal and infant hospital, so she took the initiative to come over."
A petite middle-aged woman with a rosy face and energetic eyes smiled at Gretel. Gretel smiled back: Spellcaster, my own spellcaster, things will be much easier with this lady here!
"This is Sister Pariya from the Spring Temple, a third-level priest."
Considering her age, this young lady really shouldn't be called "Mammy". But looking at her lineless navy blue dress, the meticulously wrapped light blue headscarf on her hair, and the polished hair in her hands
Grete can probably guess the shiny rosary beads:
This is a priestess who devotes her life to the goddess of spring water and vows not to marry. And such a priestess will devote most of her energy to gynecology and obstetrics, subjects that are inconvenient for men to touch.
He hurriedly nodded to Sister Pariya and turned to the next spell caster, a thin man. The man was wearing a robe and had a mage badge on his chest, with two bronze stars polished brightly.
Sure enough, Baroness Witteger introduced:
"This is the medical mage of the Royal Mage Corps, Mr. Rubeus Thomas."
Is there only a second-level medical mage? I hope he is not the only medical mage in the capital, otherwise, the daily medical services that magicians receive are really worrying...
Grete complained silently. Mrs. Witteger didn't even introduce the remaining people standing in the second row. They were probably the head midwives, the security captain, the washerwoman and the logistics staff. She just raised her voice,
The Queen's order was announced:
"According to the Queen's order, Master Nordmark will take over all medical affairs of the Royal Maternity and Infant Hospital from today. Please cooperate with me. The Queen hopes to see her subjects receive better and safer childbirth care than before.
"
All eyes were focused on Gretel. Gretel looked from Lord Graf on the far left to Master Thomas on the far right, and then from the far right of the second row to the far left. He didn't know where to start for a moment, so he had to
Cough:
"Hello, distinguished gentlemen, fellow spellcasters, and colleagues working in the hospital. I came here to bring some new medical technologies and new spells, hoping to improve the level of obstetrics in the royal capital.
"
"These technologies and spells, together with the spellcasters, nurses and midwives I brought, will be shared with everyone one by one in the next few months. Now, let us first take a look at the working status of the midwives."
He took the lead and turned around and walked towards the poor ward. Not long after, Gretel's angry roar sounded outside the ward area:
"Wash your hands! Change your clothes! Clean the delivery bed! You should clean yourselves!!!"
