There was no other way. After Chopper left, Dr. Kuleha had to do many trivial tasks by himself. After a long time, Dr. Kuleha himself got tired of it.
"It's impossible."
Lin Yi bowed slightly to express his respect to Dr. Kuleha.
"You are much more polite than that guy Doruton. Okay, in that case, you can help me carry the cart."
Dr. Kuleha was satisfied with Lin Yi's polite behavior. She nodded and motioned Lin Yi to follow her.
Lin Yi pushed the cart and followed behind Dr. Kuleha.
At this moment, the Sakura Kingdom is shrouded in a positive atmosphere.
Since coming to power, Doruton has been committed to developing the domestic economy and expanding trade with surrounding islands.
Although the Sakura Kingdom has not yet recovered to its heyday, it has made great progress compared to the Walpo era.
Chapter 332 The Past of Drum Island (Please subscribe and vote)
When civilians accidentally meet Dr. Kuleha, they will immediately flee back home in panic, fearing that she will discover any illness they have.
They were worried that once the witch diagnosed their illness, Dr. Kuleha would force them to receive treatment, charge them high medical fees after the treatment, and take away half of their property.
This concern is not groundless, as Dr. Kuleha has indeed taken similar actions in the past.
Once, she met a man on the street who was covering his chest with his hands and looking in pain. After diagnosing that he had a myocardial infarction, she performed first aid on the street.
After the treatment, Dr. Kuleha went directly to the patient's residence and took away half of his property, which almost caused the patient to fall ill again and die.
Therefore, it is understandable that the civilians are afraid of her.
Dr. Kuleha doesn't care about these worldly views.
She walked on the road with a bottle of wine in her hand, slightly staggering, and ignored the whispers and strange looks around her.
You know, Dr. Kuleha is now 140 years old.
In her long and colorful life journey, she has experienced both the outside world's compliments and malicious slander and criticism.
To her, these things have long become passers-by in her life, unable to stir up even a ripple in the calm lake of her heart.
140 years old, this is an unimaginable concept for ordinary people.
It means that even the prominent figure of the golden age of Pirate King Gol D. Roger is just a fledgling up-and-coming star in the eyes of Dr. Kuleha.
Whitebeard, Pluto Rayleigh... these powerful and famous pirates, Dr. Kuleha has witnessed their growth and rise.
When these heroes on the sea were still young men full of vigor and vitality, Dr. Kuleha was already a wise man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Her life is like a long epic that spans the ages, and her experience is so profound that it is breathtaking.
These unique experiences also allowed Dr. Kuleha to gain insight into some secrets that terrify the world's governments.
But Dr. Kuleha has no intention of revealing these secrets to avoid being sanctioned by the World Government's Demon Killing Order.
She chose to live in seclusion in a corner, living and practicing medicine quietly in her own little world.
In the eyes of the World Government, she was just a long-lived doctor with nothing else to attract attention, so they did not regard her as a threat and did not pay too much attention to her.
Twenty minutes later, Dr. Kuleha led Lin Yi to a castle hidden in the darkness.
This castle was once the residence of the previous king, Walpo. It is located on a steep cliff and is surrounded by dangerous terrain, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to climb.
The only passage between the castle and the outside world is a narrow trestle bridge. As long as you hold on to this trestle bridge, the castle will be like an iron wall and difficult to break through.
The castle is surrounded by open snow fields. If outsiders break in without permission, the soldiers patrolling on the city walls will immediately be alert.
But for those truly strong ones, destroying a city is as easy as taking something from a bag, so this castle is naturally no problem at all.
Lin Yi stood near the castle, and the breeze blew by, bringing with it a strong smell of medicine.
The smell of medicine slowly spread in the air, as if it had life, quietly invading every inch of space around it.
Even the gently falling snowflakes seemed to be tainted by this unique breath, carrying a different kind of charm.
This unique medicinal smell may be because someone is refining medicine inside the castle, or it may be the unique smell emitted by the medical facilities equipped in the castle.
Although the smell is extremely strong, it does not cause discomfort or disgust.
After all, in a building where a doctor resides, this unique medicinal fragrance will gradually permeate every corner over time and become its unique symbol.
Dr. Kuleha walked to the castle gate and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door with his hands without any external force. His strength was astonishing.
Lin Yi went forward curiously to try. He pushed the stone door hard, but could only move it about 10 degrees. After that, he felt powerless and could not push it any further.
It can only be said that Dr. Kuleha's power is indeed a bit terrifying. According to Lin Yi's calculations, if Dr. Kuleha is willing to take action, Blackbeard and his crew will not be able to wreak havoc on Magnetic Drum Island at all.
Unfortunately, since Dr. Kuleha also hated Walpo, she did not stand up against Blackbeard at the first time.
It was not until Blackbeard had frightened Walpo into fleeing that she decided to take action, teaching Blackbeard a profound lesson.
It was also thanks to her actions. Otherwise, given Blackbeard's brutal character, the entire Magnetic Drum Island would probably have suffered huge damage and might even have faced a more serious crisis.
Blackbeard is completely different from the Straw Hat Kid.
Blackbeard is a pirate through and through. The constraints of morality, justice, propriety and shame are meaningless to him.
He only had one thing in mind - to become stronger.
In order to achieve this goal, he hid on Whitebeard's ship for many years, keeping a low profile and patiently waiting for an opportunity.
Would such a person suddenly change his nature and let the residents of Magnetic Drum Island go? Lin Yi expressed deep doubts about this.
In his opinion, the possibility of such a thing happening was so small that it could almost be ignored.
Blackbeard's ambition and cruel nature have long been ingrained in his bones and are difficult to change.
"Kid, what are you doing there? Push the car in quickly."
Dr. Kuleha looked at Lin Yi who was thinking in the back and called out to him.
Only after hearing Dr. Kuleha's voice did Lin Yi come back to his senses and followed Dr. Kuleha's footsteps into the castle.
The dim lights barely illuminated the hall inside the castle.
Because Magnetic Drum Island is located on the Grand Line and is affected by a special magnetic field, it is covered with snow all year round and has a cold climate.
Inside the castle, Lin Yi noticed a dozen figures in white coats moving around busily.
"Check the bed in 10 minutes!"
Although Dr. Kuleha's voice was not loud, it seemed to have a penetrating power, ensuring that everyone in the castle could hear it clearly.
When her voice rang out, the doctors in white coats immediately stopped what they were doing.
They quickly put their clothes in order, held their medical records tightly in their hands, and then walked towards the castle gate one by one in an orderly manner.
Although they did not speak, their respect and obedience to Dr. Kuleha could be seen from their actions and expressions.
Dr. Kuleha did not communicate with them directly, but instructed Lin Yi to put the supplies on the cart into the next room.
While Lin Yi was busy moving and stacking supplies, more than thirty fully armed doctors were already standing in front of Dr. Kuleha, waiting for her next instructions.
Chapter 333: There is still room inspection in One Piece? (Please subscribe and vote)
These doctors are interns that Doruton specifically asked Dr. Kuleha to help train.
But the knowledge in the medical field is vast and requires long-term study and practice to master.
It has only been a few months since Luffy and his team defeated Walpo. For these beginners, it is difficult to master even the basic suturing techniques, let alone complex healing skills.
"Today is the day for ward rounds, so everyone cheer up. If I see anyone making a mistake during treatment, don't blame me for being rude and just get out of here!" Dr. Kuleha said harshly, and at the same time, he cracked the stone table in front of him with a palm.
When the doctors in front saw this scene, they couldn't help swallowing and felt uneasy.
During this period, they truly felt the profundity of medicine and the difficulty of becoming a qualified doctor.
I originally thought that the profession of doctor could be easily mastered just by reading books, but in actual practice I found that it is far from that simple.
The apprentices who studied medicine with Dr. Kuleha had gone through a lot of torture in the past few months.
Suturing ability, language communication, physical fitness, and memory ability, each one is a difficult hurdle they must overcome.
Under Dr. Kuleha's strict requirements, they must not only strive for excellence in technology, but also continuously improve their communication with patients, physical fitness and memory.
Although Dr. Kuleha provided rich food with plenty of meat and fish every day, the apprentices generally lost more than 20 kilograms in weight.
This is not because of lack of food, but because their study and work intensity is too high.
Under Dr. Kuleha's high standards, apprentices need to constantly complete tasks, which are both heavy and challenging, and often make them so tired that they fall asleep as soon as they hit the bed.
"Is it time for ward rounds today?" Lin Yi brushed off the dust on his priest robe and walked to Dr. Kuleha to ask.
"That's right." Dr. Kuleha replied, "You are also a doctor, so you should keep an eye on these guys. If anyone shows any signs of cheating, teach him a lesson."
Dr. Kuleha's words made all the apprentices in the hall tremble. It was obvious that they had all experienced Dr. Kuleha's strict punishment.
"Sure." Lin Yi readily agreed to Dr. Kuleha's request.
He had no objection to Dr. Kuleha's strict approach. After all, in the medical field, rigor and concentration are essential requirements.
You have to know that Lin Yi is a martial artist, and learning martial arts is much harder than learning medicine.
Not to mention that any negligence in the medical profession may cause irreparable pain to patients and families.
"Okay, time's up. Now everyone go to the ward for rounds." Dr. Kuleha pulled out a pocket watch from his trouser pocket, glanced at it, and saw that the time had reached 5 p.m. He closed the pocket watch with his right hand and issued an order.
After hearing Dr. Kuleha's instructions, the interns acted quickly. They made way for Lin Yi and Dr. Kuleha, and the group began to go to the ward for rounds.
After Valpo left, Dr. Kuleha renovated the entire castle.
The original large living room on the first floor has been transformed into a spacious and bright reception hall where patients register and receive consultations.
The second floor has become the inpatient department. The wards are clean and comfortable, providing a good treatment environment for patients.
The third floor is still used as a place to store supplies, but the management is more standardized to ensure the adequacy and safety of medical supplies.
The fourth floor contains the interns’ offices and dormitories.
The fifth floor is Dr. Kuleha’s private area, her residence and laboratory, where she conducts medical research and exploration.
Soon Dr. Kuleha led a large team of doctors into the inpatient department on the second floor.
But there aren't many patients here.
Although Dr. Kuleha treated patients for free during this period at Doruton's request, many islanders were still afraid of her reputation and would rather endure the torture of the disease than come for treatment.
Those who dared to come for medical treatment were mostly poor people from poor families with no money, or orphans who were alone and had no relatives.
For them, life has hit rock bottom and it seems that they have nothing left to lose, so they are more willing to grasp this glimmer of hope, hoping that Dr. Kuleha's medical skills can save them.
Dr. Kuleha gently pushed open the door of the room near the stairs on the second floor, and two completely different scenes came into view.
On the hospital bed near the door, a little girl was sleeping quietly, her face looked unusually peaceful.
Sitting next to the bed was a middle-aged man, most likely the girl's father, who was taking good care of her with deep care in his eyes.
On the other side of the room, a little boy was sitting alone on the bed, drawing seriously on the wooden board with crayons in his hand. There was no one around him.
"Albert, Cloris, how are you two doing today?" Dr. Kuleha walked to the beds of the two children and asked with concern.
At the same time, she scanned the crowd behind her, looking for the attending physician in charge of the two little patients.
Under Dr. Kuleha's gaze, two men with slightly sparse hair hesitantly walked out of the crowd.
They seemed a little nervous, and their companions around them looked at them with tragic eyes, as if they were worried about their future fate.
"Albert's condition has stabilized a lot, and his temperature and blood pressure are both within normal ranges." One of the attending doctors answered cautiously, fearing any mistakes.
"Where is Klauris?" Dr. Kuleha continued to ask.
"Claudia is in good spirits today and her appetite has improved. We have adjusted the treatment plan according to your instructions." Another attending physician replied, also not daring to be careless.
"What kind of surgery did Klaus perform?" Dr. Kuleha asked seriously.
"Atrial septal defect surgery." The attending physician replied nervously.
"What is the cause of atrial septal defect?" Dr. Kuleha continued to ask.
"In the fourth week of embryonic development, the atrium is divided into left and right atria by the primitive atrial septum that originates from its posterior upper wall and grows toward the endocardial cushion. As the endocardial cushion grows, it gradually contacts and fuses with the lower edge of the primitive atrial septum. If the lower edge of the primitive atrial septum cannot contact the endocardial cushion during embryonic development, a gap will remain at the bottom of the atrial septum, forming a primary atrial septal defect."
