Chương 12: Broke Patient

Curiosity got the best of Han, and he walked through the crowd trying to see what was happening. His eyes widened seeing the unbelievable sight before him.

A horse rider with a sword unsheathed charged toward a dark-skinned man, who was bleeding uncontrollably from a slash on his abdomen. "Apologize! For standing in my way," the horse rider yelled.

"I did not do anything wrong. Why should I?" said the dark-skinned man stubbornly as he pressed one hand on his wound to stop the bleeding.

'Why does the victim give me main character vibes? This is ridiculous, am I witnessing a cliché,' Han thought. 'He's weirdly stubborn and looking at his actions he's going to get himself killed.' 'I am not about to help the man. He looks like an oddly handsome beggar. He could become a model. Not the point. Anyways I am out of here,' he thought before leaving.

"Just bleed to death," said the horse rider as he rode off.

Han paused as he saw the horse rider go away. He was not going to butt in between the fight since he was a coward. He looked at the pathetic man pressing his wound trying to stop his injury. The man tried getting up but fell to the floor each time.

Han as a 21st-century Physician could not just see the pathetic man struggling with pain. He had to do something. Either he was going to leave or stay and help. Sighing, he walked closer to the patient. Though he hated himself for this since he did not want to treat a patient for free, they had to provide him with something.

[Patient Name: Blade

Main Symptom: Sword Slash, Gaping Wound, Uncontrollably Bleeding.

Blood Type: B-

Progress: N/A]

'Damn it,' Han ran closer to the patient as soon as he read the patient's report.

The man looked at Han weirdly seeing him helping him. He hesitated and moved to avoid Han's touch.

"Wait. I am a physician; do you want to get treated or not? "If you want to then listen to me or else you could die," said Han hurriedly.

The man nodded half unconscious.

"Who has a horse?" said Han looking at the crowd.

"M-me," said the person meekly raising his hands in the crowd.

"Here give me a ride to my clinic," said Han tossing him a coin.

The observer's mouth was agape in shock.

"Y-yes," said the person as he immediately ran to get the horse.

'His vitality is low, and his wound keeps bleeding,' Han thought clicking his tongue. While the person fetched the horse Han had to stop the bleeding, so he took off his shirt and stopped the bleeding using his shirt. The previous cloth Blade was holding had been filled with blood.

Onlookers gasped and muttered at Han's shamelessness in taking his shirt off in the middle of the street.

The person brought the horse Han, and Blade sat on it. Han also directed the person where to go.

After a few minutes, the person dropped Han and Blade to the clinic. The person looked at the magnificent building in shock and did not know that a clinic was up there.

Han dragged Blade upstairs to the 2nd floor. He layed his heavy, fit body on the hospital bed.

"I guess I have to turn it into an operation room again," he muttered as he changed Blade's clothing to the hospital gown.

"I should grab all the items I need at once," Han said as he took a tray to each room and grabbed the items.

Han calmed down and started the operation. 'It's a very easy operation,' he repeated in his mind. He thoroughly cleaned the wound first and stopped the bleeding by using some gauze. He grabbed a needle and made neat stitches across the wound to close it up. Because of his dexterity, Han's stitches were flawless. Using the Applicator, he disinfected the wound. This whole operation was finished in less than 3 minutes.

[You have leveled up]

[You have gained 1 Star and 5 Stat Points]

Han sighed and cleaned up, he put the items back where they belonged. "I go out once and I meet a patient. How nice," he said sarcastically.

The patient on the bed groaned.

Han walked up to the patient and analyzed him. 'I knew it he did not have anything valuable on him. I must think what I can ask of him though he should rest now,' he thought as he sat in the sitting corner of the floor reading novels.

2 Hours Later, Blade suddenly woke up but grunted in pain. He looked at his surroundings unaware of what was happening. Looking at the extravagance of the items on the floor scared him.

"Hello, I am the Physician, Han. Are you feeling better?" asked Han smiling at him.

Blade nodded but winced in pain.

"Don't worry I just stitched your injury but for now it will hurt for a few days so deal with it," said Han.

Blade nodded cluelessly.

Han did the recording procedure with him and found nothing important, only that he is incredibly poor.

"Now shall we talk about the payment," said Han as he sat crossing his legs.

Blade sweated bullets anxiously avoiding eye contact.
