Chapter 242 Medical Ethics

 "I...I know..."

Listening to the words of Doctor Dori, Chopper nodded aggrievedly.

At the same time, Doctor Dolly simply stretched out her hand and grabbed the little hoof of her stinky son.

Pulling her son towards the house, Doctor Dolly whispered softly as she walked.

"I know, you must still be feeling uncomfortable, brat.

Because the profession of doctor is obviously a profession that does good things.

As a result, I don’t know since when, we need to get legal permission to do good deeds, and we also need to consider the consequences of doing good deeds...

But there is no way, this is the rule of Winter Island and the Drum Kingdom!"

After the words fell, Doctor Dolly gently shook her head.

"I don't like this kind of rule either, but we are people from Winter Island. As civilians, even if I was a famous doctor at home and abroad, I can't change the mind of our crazy king Valpo..."

"I understand, Doctor Dori..."

After listening to Doriel's words, Chopper nodded gently.

"I know it's already hard for you to take care of me, and because you can't treat the disease, neither you nor I have any income.

So don’t worry, I will work hard to collect herbs and hand them over to Doctor 20 in exchange for living supplies, and try to take good care of us!

And...I...I will not treat everyone casually in the future...

If it is really discovered, then... wuwuwu, then I... wuwuwuwu~~~."

Accompanied by a series of suppressed cries, Chopper was indescribably sad.

I can no longer treat my animal friends, because I... I can't cause more trouble for the doctor mother!!!

On the side, listening to Chopper's cry, Dori shook her head helplessly.

Then, she couldn't help but pick up the reindeer, which was the size of a civet cat.

Just like shaking out a wet piece of clothing, she was holding Chopper and shaking it around.

Immediately afterwards, Doctor Dolly said angrily.

"Stop wiping your tears here, you stinky son!

You said this last time, and you said it the same way last time. You cried so sincerely every time, which made me think you would never do that again!

Which time did you really do it?"

While speaking, Dori held Chopper in front of her and spoke extremely seriously.

"Forget it, forget it, hey, you little guy really leaves me helpless!

What's more, I have nothing to say about your qualifications, because I have also secretly treated some patients!

I have my patients, you have your patients, we are all the same sneaky bunch!

So, if you want to treat your animal friends in the future, feel free to bring herbal medicine there!"

"Really?!!"

For a moment, Chopper screamed in excitement, and then he stretched out his little hooves in excitement and hugged Doriel's face tightly.

Seeing this, Doriel pushed away Chopper's hoof in disgust, then she carried Chopper and continued speaking seriously.

"But say it in advance, you stinky son!

You can only heal your animal friends secretly, you can never heal humans in any villages or towns!"

"Why?"

Hearing this, Chopper's excitement immediately dissipated. He thought he had obtained permission to practice medicine from Doriel...

Looking at Chopper who was disappointed, Doriel tapped Chopper on the head with her free hand.

"Hey what!

Son of a bitch, you don’t understand the ways of the world at all, so in a place like Dongdao where private medical practice is not allowed, you can only treat animals!

Besides, you're not human, so just go and treat your own kind, that's just fine!

As for people…”

Having said this, Doriel put Chopper back on the ground, wiped the lint on her palms on her pants, and then lit a cigarette.

While smoking a cigarette, Dori said leisurely

"How can you kid understand that humans and animals are different!

The animals you heal will truly be grateful to you for the rest of their lives, and they will never do anything to turn around and hurt you!

But humans…”

Doriel reached into her pocket and took out a reward notice.

Throwing the reward order in front of Chopper, Dori shook her head and said after watching Chopper catch the reward order.

"This is the latest bounty order issued by the Drum Kingdom. That guy Valpo has offered a bounty of two hundred thousand beli to reward people like you and me who do not belong to the 20 team of doctors from the Drum Kingdom!

This is two hundred thousand beli. Although it is not much, it is enough to replace the income of the common people of the Drum Kingdom for a whole month of work!

Can you tell whether the humans you treat will report you to Valpo for the bounty after being cured by you?

I can see through those people, so I can secretly treat them. I know which of them will not turn around and sell me to the Valpo Legion for a bounty after being treated by me!

But you can’t do what I can do, you stinky son!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Dori hit Chopper on the head again.

For things that won't affect their fundamental safety, Doriel can give Chopper enough freedom.

But in the face of a mistake that could really destroy their family, Dori would never allow Chopper to make it!

On the side, holding his painful head, Chopper quickly nodded his little head.

"I understand, eh, don't fight.

I have obviously defeated my father long ago. I am no longer a child. Doctor, please be gentler!"

"ha?"

After listening to Chopper's words, Doriel's hand movements immediately became a little more intense.

I saw her beating Chopper while constantly reminding Chopper.

"Don't argue with me, son of a bitch, the father you defeated was just a reindeer!

But humans are far more dangerous than reindeer!

Don’t you want to be a super doctor who can cure all diseases and become the legendary panacea?

Then if you die, it will definitely not be a panacea!"

After her words fell, Doriel walked forward on her own, leaving the disappointed Chopper where she was.

Seeing this, Chopper quickly used small steps to catch up with Doriel's footsteps.

As he walked, Chopper couldn't help muttering quietly.

"Obviously it's all about treatment, but why do you say, doctor, that animals will thank me, but humans won't?

I've wanted to ask this for a long time, doctor!

Why do you charge so much money every time you treat someone else?

We are doctors, shouldn’t it be our bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded?

And won’t the people we treat also thank us?

If I were like you and had to charge a very high fee for every treatment, I wouldn't be appreciated by people, would I?"

"Ha ha!"

After hearing what Chopper said, Doriel laughed loudly, then turned around and pointed her wrinkled face at Chopper.

Doriel said seriously while looking into Chopper's eyes.

"I have lived for more than one hundred and twenty years, Chopper, do you think what I have learned and seen in these more than one hundred and twenty years is shallower than a reindeer like you who has only been a human for more than ten years?

I used to be just like you, thinking that I only needed to treat illnesses and save lives, so that I could get the gratitude and respect that patients deserve!

But the facts prove that the world is not like that. Patients will only think that it is natural for us doctors to cure them, and if we cannot cure them, we owe them!

As for my consultation fee, haha, although my consultation fee is high, it is tailor-made for each patient, and they will definitely be able to afford it!

If they are not even willing to pay this amount, it’s not that I don’t want to save him, but that they don’t want to save themselves, right?

What's more, do you think free medical care can really make people appreciate me more?

Haha, when I used to collect medicinal herbs for free to treat people's illnesses, people said that my medical skills were terrible, and they would rather spend more money to get treatment from other people!

Where do you think my medical skills come from? Because when I was young, I was providing free medical care to people.

In addition to patients with minor illnesses such as headaches and brain fever, those who can come to me are those who are declared to be close to death and try to try their luck here!

I am a doctor, but I am also just a doctor. Because of the countless patients who tried their luck, I lost many patients and gradually cured more patients!

But I still have no reputation. Sometimes I can only watch people die, and they are more willing to believe in the good doctors in their eyes who charge more than me!

I'm obviously better than those so-called good doctors, but why am I always people's second, or even third or fourth choice?

Do you think I don’t want to treat more patients?

From that day on, I completely changed my practice of medicine. I will never be free again!

On the contrary, I will charge as much as I can, and I will become the most expensive doctor in the world!

From that day on, my reputation spread completely. People no longer came to me to treat simple headaches and fever. Those diseases did not require my intervention, and any doctor could cure them.

Of course, except for your father, my old friend, the dead Silk.

He is a good man, but he is really a quack...

Next, talking about me, whenever people encounter a real terminal illness, they will always think of me, because I am a person who charges such a high price that they can only choose between money and life!

In front of me, they only have these two choices, money or life!

You have to know, Chopper, people will never respect our medical skills, people only respect their own efforts!

If they have given enough, then they will trust me enough!"

"What you said is wrong, Doctor Dori!!!"

On the side, listening to the radical words of Doctor Dori, Chopper shook his head desperately.

He simply couldn't believe that such words came from the mouth of the person he respected the most!

Little Chopper blinked his tear-filled eyes and continued to shout to Doriel in disbelief.

"People...people don't have to pay to know what respect is!

Only when I treat them sincerely will they treat me sincerely!

Just like me and my animal friends, they..."

"So they are animals, they are not people!!!"

Dori interrupted Chopper severely, and then she knelt down in front of Chopper.

Looking at Chopper's innocent and extremely innocent eyes, Dori sighed leisurely.

"Hey, you stinky son, I finally told you something true that I should say to a real son, but the result..."

It turns out that your stinky son doesn’t understand at all!

Then let me chat with you in another way, stinky son!

Let me ask you, what are we!"

Dori yelled and said to Chopper, her words made Chopper wince and pout.

"Doctor...doctor..." Chopper replied in a low voice.

On the opposite side, as soon as Chopper finished speaking, Doriel immediately continued to yell at him.

"Very well, we are doctors, so what is our job!!!"

"Cure..."

Chopper continued to pout, and his mouth could almost hang more things than his antlers...

Seeing Chopper's aggrieved look, Dori took a deep breath.

Assi, this kid is so annoying. The wretched look on his stinky son is so pitiful that it almost explodes!!!

Trying to keep her cold face, Dori used her hands to twist Chopper's furry face.

"So we are doctors and our job is to treat diseases!

So, whether it is a disease that requires money, a disease that does not require money, or even a disease that makes the patient bankrupt!

No matter what choices patients face, isn't our job to cure their disease!!!

Tell me, is life valuable?

Isn’t life priceless?

Since it is priceless, then life can be truly free of money, but it can also be truly exchanged for priceless treasures!

Our vocation is only to treat illnesses, whether we charge money or not, that has nothing to do with our vocation!

All we have to do is cure other people's diseases!

Even for me, if you encounter a disease that I can’t cure, won’t I never charge you money!!!”

After the words fell, Doriel grabbed Chopper's hoof, and she angrily carried Chopper towards her small house by the lake.

As they walked, Doriel finally said to Chopper.

"It's such a waste of time to talk to this stinky son of yours!

In short, you are still an intern doctor, so you must obey the orders of my mentor!

I said, you can treat animals, but not people. Even if you treat others, you must get my permission, do you hear me!!!"

"Listen...I heard..."

Chopper was completely out of temper after being trained by Doriel. Although he still didn't understand what Doriel meant, he finally nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Dori let out a sigh of relief.

"It's good to hear it, hey.

Forget it, after you go back, go to the warehouse to get some medicine and treat all the remaining animal friends you have not finished treating.

We are all doctors, just like you shouldn't make objections to my treatment attitude for charging money.

I shouldn't have any special opinions on your attitude towards free treatment.

But our quarrels cannot be based on our basic virtues!

Doctors who are determined to cure diseases cannot give up on every patient, even if they are just animals, haha!"

At this point, Doctor Dolly's laughter echoed around the northernmost lakeside of Winter Island and did not dissipate for a long time...

And Chopper......

Dori could only hope that he would never understand her words in this life.

Because her heartfelt words were all learned from various kinds of pain...

How could she let Chopper live as hard as she did when she was young?







On the other hand, Marie Joa is on the top floor of Pangu City, in the center of power.

Looking at the newspapers in their hands, the Five Old Stars frowned deeply.

"He's really fast!"

As he spoke, the diplomatic old man stretched his brows and showed an appreciative smile.

"I have always been very optimistic about him, haha, his character must be a diplomatic talent!

It's only been less than half a year since he left Marigio, but look at it.

The islands he has been to are except for the Navy Headquarters and Judiciary Island.

All other islands have been planted with his own flag, and they have become islands where he can easily influence the situation!

There are even two whole countries that are members of the World Government, haha!

As long as this guy takes our seat, let alone the other islands in the future, just talking about Fishman Island and Alabasta, these two islands can almost be returned to the hands of the World Government for direct jurisdiction!

The most important thing is that he neither used the Demon-Slaying Order, nor did he use any messy means that would make other participating countries feel wary!

What is this? This is a diplomatic victory!!!"

As he spoke, the diplomatic old man's laughter became heartier.

It is strange to say that the old diplomat felt friendly to Gawain when he saw him for the first time.

He always felt that Gawain...had a temperament similar to his!

He particularly favors Gawain!

However, after the diplomatic old man finished speaking.

The old military man sitting on the same sofa as him couldn't help but shook his head.

"Hey, of course there is nothing wrong with little Gawain's course of action, but... I'm just worried that he has chosen the wrong person!"

Having said this, the old military man turned to look at the window between the rights. His gaze crossed the pavilion and finally landed on an extremely mysterious room that was covered in the distance.

At the same time, the other five old stars also knew the location where the military old man was looking, which was called Between the Flowers!

Seeing this, the cultural old man sighed leisurely.

"Yeah, if it's another country where he planted his flag.

No matter how old I am or all of you, we will only be happy for him and our Celestial Dragon clan.

Every time we have a piece of land that is completely under our jurisdiction and will not continue to have rebellions, it means that we are one step closer to that permanent goal!

But..., hey...

Why did he choose Alabasta the second time?

The Neferutari family is Lord Im's family. They are the most special family in the world and among the twenty Draco clans...

They definitely have an extraordinary role in Lord Im's heart. Otherwise, how could they abandon their identity as Draconis and return to Alabasta to maintain their rule?

I just hope that Lord Im will not have a special opinion towards Gawain because of this.

After all, among the younger generation of our generation, Gawain and Shanks are already the two most outstanding children!"
