When Chen Xing came to Lanhua Town Hospital, he found that the place was overcrowded, and even the aisles were filled with hospital beds. Orchid Town is just a fringe town, with a small population originally. So many soldiers and workers came all of a sudden, and they came from a big city. There was a lot of friction with the locals, and various conflicts emerged one after another. The hospital was quickly overwhelmed. Sick and crowded.
In desperation, Chen Xing had no choice but to go to the commercial street of the town to find the small clinic that treated him for corrosion injuries last time. He had a good impression of the slightly stout middle-aged male doctor. Although the equipment was a bit old and the sanitary conditions were so-so, the effect of the last treatment was quite good. The wound was not inflamed and healed quickly.
"Pang Rang!"
But as soon as he arrived at the door of the clinic, Chen Xing saw a white figure smashing into the glass window and falling out. Looking closer, he turned out to be a doctor from the clinic, wearing a dirty white coat, with blood spraying from his mouth and coughing endlessly. He quickly helped the other person up. Before he had time to ask what happened, several men in dark green military uniforms kicked out the door, pointed at the pale middle-aged doctor and yelled: "Quack doctor, you can't cure grandpa's disease." If you dare to accept money, will you be easy to bully as a grandpa!"
"Kill him!" "The country doctor deserves a beating." Several men clenched their fists.
The middle-aged doctor seemed to be out of breath, pointing at the leading man, his whole body trembling, "You guys, don't bully others too much! Cough, cough, cough!" He coughed and spoke, his mouth full of blood.
"You're looking for damn death!" The leading man cursed, raised his fist as big as a bowl, and struck straight at him. The punching style is fierce and powerful. If it were hit hard this time, the cervical vertebrae would be broken.
Chen Xing originally didn't want to cause trouble, but he really couldn't bear to see it. Besides, he still asked a doctor for treatment later, but there were no doctors left. Whoever came to treat his injury would be kicked out immediately.
"Crack!"
The hard military boots hit the opponent's calf bone, making a crisp sound. The man's fists were frozen in the air, and his face turned the color of pig liver. Then he fell to the ground holding his legs and let out a huge scream.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Who is that person?" "Kill him!" Several men accompanying him immediately yelled and began to pull out the pistols on their waists.
Chen Xing had been holding back his anger before he came. Now that even the soldiers dared to bully him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed the middle-aged doctor away, slammed into the man who was drawing his gun, and then turned around and punched the second man. On the bridge of his nose, he pulled out a pistol and hit the third man on his temple.
Immediately putting the three people down, Chen Xing adjusted his military uniforms and stood there calmly, looking at the wailing people on the ground.
"You, you dare to hit someone!" "Do you know who we are? We are the Luo Family Army from Gray Corner City!" "You are dead!"
After a while, the four men ran away in a hurry. As they ran, they didn't forget to turn around and say harsh words.
"Captain Chen, thank you, thank you." The middle-aged doctor recognized Chen Xing and panted.
"Are you okay?" "It's okay, just a little skin injury." The two of them said as they entered the clinic. Speaking of which, this is still Chen Xing's territory, and he has to come here every month to collect taxes. It's his job to help.
"What's wrong?" the doctor asked.
Chen Xing pulled off the towel, exposed his burned hands, and said, "High-voltage electricity can cause injuries."
"Let me take a look..." The doctor put on the half-broken glasses, observed for a while, and said, "The skin injury is not serious." Then he got up and walked to a cylindrical instrument more than two meters high, and opened the arc I took alcohol and cotton to clean the glass windows.
After finishing it, he moved a white round stool with a lot of patent leather off, pointed to the circular space inside the instrument and said to Chen Xing, "Put your hand in." Then he added, "I won't let you in this time. Money, but if you want to inject 'Red Dream', you have to pay extra."
The "Red Dream" he calls is a hallucinogen that can be used for medical treatment. After injection, the whole world will appear red. It can increase the secretion of dopamine, but it is not easy to cause drug dependence.
"No need for anesthesia." Chen Xing took off his coat and put it on the table, then walked over and sat down, putting his hand into the instrument. Above the circular space is an octopus-shaped mechanical body with more than a dozen mechanical tentacles contracted into a circle. At the end are syringes, forceps, crochet hooks, knives and other surgical instruments.
After Chen Xing put his hand in, the surrounding sponge expanded, sealing the opening and forming a closed space.
"laugh……"
There was a sound of deflation, and Chen Xing could clearly feel the muscles in his hands contracting. This was the treatment device extracting air and then injecting sterile inert gas. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of white mist was sprayed out from the round hole above, and it was burning on the wound, but other places were cold.
Chen Xing knew that it was alcohol spray for disinfection. Then, the robotic arms all opened and started busy around Chen Xing's hand.
There was a stinging pain, like an ant bite, but it was bearable. The treatment device makes general surgery simple. As long as the doctor sets the desired procedure, the wound can be treated automatically and very accurately. However, major surgeries still rely on manual labor. After all, machines can only operate according to procedures and cannot deal with various emergencies.
Compared with the level of medical care on Earth, the Red Earth Continent is hundreds, even thousands, of years ahead of its time. Treating cancer and AIDS is like treating a cold, just give them a drop of water and they'll be fine.
The reason why the medical level of this world far exceeds that of the earth is mainly due to the rare element discovered after the cataclysm - radium 2315.
This "Radium" isotope is also known as "Hades' Nightmare". It possesses the most original life force of human beings and has the effect of resurrecting the dead. If it is taken by completely healthy people, it can also extend the life span.
Just as the discovery of "penicillin" made surgery possible, the discovery of "radium 2315" brought the entire world's medical level to a new height. If you can afford it, even a skull replacement surgery can be done perfectly, but the cost is relatively expensive and can only be enjoyed by the wealthy aristocracy.
Inside the instrument, more than a dozen mechanical tentacles surrounded Chen Xing's palm, twisting up and down like insects vying for food. And in the tray underneath, black dead skin kept falling down. About ten minutes later, the mechanical tentacle retracted upwards, revealing a bloody arm. The surface was covered with small blood vessels, sticky and eroded, and it looked very scary.
"I only have SK9 here, and it will take about five days to recover," the doctor said. "SK9" is the cheapest artificial skin in the world. Due to its low price, the side effects are also obvious. The wound will be very itchy in the last two days and can easily be picked by the patient.
"Okay." Chen Xing said. He used to be a low-level mercenary, so he had good medical treatment, and those side effects didn't matter at all.
After confirming with Chen Xing, the doctor lit up the touch screen on the treatment device and entered instructions. A few seconds later, the mechanical tentacle started working again, this time it was loaded with a milky white medicine bottle and sprayed water mist towards the wound.
After another ten minutes, the mechanical tentacles retracted, and the nozzle on them sprayed alcohol. Chen Xing felt his right hand was cold.
"laugh……"
The sound of deflation sounded again, and the cavernous body shrank in all directions. Chen Xing took out his hand. The skin on his hand was smooth and translucent, as if he was wearing a pair of thin rubber gloves. Chen Xing moved his fingers, and they felt quite flexible, so it was no longer a serious problem.
The doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs for him, and then suggested, "It's best to get a small injection when he goes back to completely repair the muscle trauma to avoid any sequelae."
"I understand." Chen Xing nodded and gave him five gold coins as a token gesture, then put on his coat and left. Treatment like this requires at least twenty or thirty gold coins, but he helped the other party, so he accepted the free treatment with peace of mind. After all, he had a conflict with the personnel stationed in the Luo family. Even if he didn't have to pay, he still had to find Xiao Wu to clear things up.
