Chapter 4564: Carriage Full Patients

"Move, they are here," I ordered as a large carriage stopped in front of the temporary hospital.

The apprentices sprinted toward the carriage; they were by it before the door even opened. When it did, they began carefully bringing out patients with the help of guards.

One by one, the patients were put on stretchers and wheeled into the hospital.

I entered the hospital and moved to the first patient, who was already in bed. My energy seeped through him, giving me a complete view of his injuries.

"Salen, clean him of his bandages and apply the paste thirteen on his mounts and feed a spoon of 93rd solution," I ordered and moved to the next potion.

I could have taken the names of the things, but most of the medicine I use is not common.

They are not even familiar with half of the things I use. So I numbered each one, which is much easier for them to follow. Not as efficient as if they knew the names of the medicines, but beggars can’t be choosers.

I didn’t waste even a second and immediately turned to the second patient.

"Yard, sew the wound on his chest and feed him two spoons of solution fifteen," I ordered the old doctors.

Healers look down on them, but I had recruited a few. Here, my priority is to save lives, and I want to use every arsenal I have at my disposal. These doctors are good and have a lot of experience.

I turned to the third patient, who was barely hanging on to her life.

There is only a single wound on her back, but it is filled with a foreign energy.

She is fighting it.

I looked at the Primary-I woman; the attack came from Primary-II and was powerful enough to kill her within minutes, but even after days, she is alive.

She is nearly dead, but she is still fighting against it to survive. It’s quite rare to see such a thing.

I moved my energy and surrounded it before I started crushing it. My energy is not strong, but it isn’t the only way to deal with such things. There are many ways.

The one I am using is quite a particular one to deal with this type of energy.

"Dress the wound," I ordered a minute later as I finished and moved toward another patient. She will survive; her condition is still bad, but now her body is not fighting against a foreign energy.

It could now focus on healing her.

I moved on to the fourth patient and, after checking their condition, I ordered the apprentice to handle it.

I am only dealing with the patients who could not. Time is of the essence here. A couple of patients have died on the way; I had sensed the dead bodies in the carriage.

I don’t want any more to die on my watch.

I moved patient after patient; the carriage had brought twenty-three of them. Twenty-seven exactly, but the four others have died.

"I said, solution twenty-three or not thirty-three. If you had fed that, you might have killed them, man," I said as I whipped my head toward a man in early twenties who was about to feed brown solution to the man.

Healer shuddered, hearing that.

"I am sorry, Healer Ross," he said, his voice shaking. He is not afraid of killing a patient, but what I might do. The healers have a lot of power over apprentices.

Especially the general ones, who are trained in the guild and do not have a master.

"It’s okay, mistakes happen in stressful environments, but be careful, and if you forget, ask me," I said calmly, and could see the relief flooding into the man’s eyes.

I didn’t waste movement anymore and turned back to the patient who was nearly dead.

He had lost a lot of blood, and there was poisonous energy moving through his body. I had fed him a solution that would slow the shock his body is going through while I deal with the poison.

It’s not powerful, but it had permeated through his whole body.

My energy shifted and took on the form of runes, soon forming a complex pattern across his body. It’s a poison eradication formation, quite a simple one, which I had manipulated to suit his body

Buzz!

I activated the formation before removing my hands from him. "Clean and dress his wound," I said, looking at one of the young apprentice doctors.

She moved quickly and began to do what I asked.

The poison is still in the body, but I have looked at him and know the power of the formation. It will work, and if nothing unexpected happens, the man will be saved.

I moved another patient while also observing how apprentices work with patients.

I have to say, many of them are fumbling. Many of them have never worked in such high stress environment. If not for my keeping an eye on them, stopping them before they make any mistake, some might have died.

My own apprentice is doing much better; the environment is affecting her, but not as much as it is affecting others.

It made me feel proud. I have taught her well, and in a few weeks into her apprenticeship, I had her working with patients alongside me. Healers refrained from doing that until their apprentice imprinted an inheritance.

Inheritance is not necessary in all things. Especially not getting used to patients.

It is also important because it helps them train their senses; healers can become too dependent on their energy and skills and forget the other things.

It’s how Marina had trained me; she would seal my powers for days when she took me to work in mundane hospitals outside of the academy.

I pushed those thoughts away and focused on the patients.

Time passed one by one, I checked on every patient and healed those who could not be healed until, finally, I had finished with the last.

I stopped and turned, seeing nearly every apprentice working. It made me happy, but also sigh, because this is just the beginning, another carriage is coming in a few hours.

If what I heard is right, the intensity is going to increase in a few days.

The guildmaster had asked us to save at least a quarter; even that would be a great result, he said. I would rather save everyone, its going attract some attention, but here I don’t care.

In this place at least, I am going to practice my profession with the integrity that Marina would be proud of.
