Doctor Player Chapter 21
“What what…! Are you sane now? This is our Raoul Healer! It is the best treatment center in the capital!”
The staff ran around as if they had heard nonsense.
“I know.”
“But what do you think of the refusal?”
“I’m going to open my own clinic.”
“…yes?”
Raymond spoke clearly again to the staff at the Raoul Treatment Center who opened their eyes wide.
“I’m going to build my own healing center.”
“…!”
The staff laughed.
“You’re setting up your own treatment center? You think it’s too easy. Wouldn’t it be easy? Wouldn’t it be better to come to our Raoul Healing Center, build a career, and then set it up?”
“Of course it is, but it has already been decided.”
The employee got up and dusted off his clothes.
“It is foolish to give a good opportunity at best. Tsk. Don’t regret it later.”
Then, seeing the missing scout staff, Raymond shook his head.
‘That’s not wrong. It’s not easy to set up a treatment center for the first time.’
As the employee who just disappeared said, it was much wiser to enter a prestigious treatment center and build a career and then become independent.
‘It’s a normal case. But not in my case.’
Raymond thought soberly.
‘You have to see as many patients as possible. I can’t go to Raoul’s treatment center for that.’
Raymond knew his level.
‘Novice Resident’.
Like that job grade, it was infinitely lacking.
In order to grow, I had to see as many patients as possible, and to do that, I couldn’t go to the Raoul treatment center.
‘I’m sure other senior therapists will hit me and the chance to see patients will be reduced. Especially since it is a medical practice that is ignored by others. So I have to become independent so that I can see patients without being noticed by others.’
At that time, Hanson, who was by his side, asked anxiously.
“Independence. Are you okay?”
“huh. I have something in mind.”
“However, there are places around here that could set up a treatment center….”
“No, there is one.”
Raymond replied briefly.
“The Bay Area. I’m thinking of setting up a treatment center there.”
Hanson’s eyes widened.
It had to be.
Because the Bay Area was a ghetto!
“Could it be, senior?”
“Yes, I will set up a treatment center in the slums.”
ghetto.
It is a place no therapist would want to go.
‘So I’ll be able to see countless patients.’
Of course, it will be very painful. You won’t even make much money.
But it didn’t matter.
‘Currently, developing my skills is more important than making money. I will be the best therapist. If you become the best therapist, wealth and fame will naturally follow.’
Raymond was feeling it.
In this world where heels are everything, ordinary efforts are not enough to gain people’s recognition through medicine.
I had no intention of ending up with a mediocre therapist.
You will surely become the best therapist.
It won’t be easy, though.
It will be very difficult and painful.
I will definitely make it though.
That’s why I’m going to become the best therapist and grab all the fame and wealth.
So, Raymond was determined.
* * *
Magnificent royal castle.
Other than the 2nd Prince Cairn, there was someone else paying attention to Raymond.
The 3rd Prince Limerton!
Along with the 2nd prince, he was considered a powerful successor to the throne.
“Raymond refused the offer of Raul’s treatment center and decided to open a new treatment center?”
“Your Highness.”
The 3rd Prince Remerton was distinguished by his intelligent eyes.
The 3 princes, who cited cool-headedness and excellent brains as their strengths, were intelligent images.
“Surprised. Of course, I thought you would accept Raoul’s offer.”
“That’s right. At most, His Highness took care of me.”
Subha said as if she was displeased.
In fact, there was a reason why Raoul’s therapist suggested scouting Raymond.
The third prince, Lemerton, had suggested it.
‘I was going to give you a good opportunity because I’m grateful for Count August’s work. I can’t help it.’
Remerton shook his head.
I was considerate at best, but to wear the blessings that rolled over.
It was unfortunate.
‘I was going to use it as a healer in the future after receiving the teachings of Raul Healer, but I don’t think that will ever happen.’
Remerton judged Raymond’s ‘medicine’ not bad enough.
He could become a very useful therapist if he was taught at the Raoul Healing Center, where the best therapists were gathered.
But to miss such a good opportunity.
Lemerton thought Raymond was stupid.
“Okay then, where do you open your business?”
“It is the capital.”
“Right. Where is the capital?”
Remerton asked in a tone that lost interest.
In his mind, the perception of Raymond rapidly faded.
The life of a healer who opened a small treatment center was there.
Seeing patients who don’t have anything special and living a life that doesn’t have anything special.
Remerton, who was measured with every measure of coolness, had no mind to waste on such an insignificant healer.
but.
“This is the Bay Area.”
“…!”
Remerton’s eyes widened the moment he heard the place that jumped out of his subordinate’s mouth.
“…what?”
“I must have heard it wrong, but you are right. They say they are setting up a treatment center in the Bay Area.”
Remerton was silent for a moment.
It had to be.
‘Nonsense. The Bay Area?’
Bay Area!
It was a slum located on the outskirts of the northwestern part of the capital.
The problem was that these districts were not usually ordinary slums.
‘It’s a completely lawless place, so a decent number of nobles don’t even step foot in it?’
About 100 years ago, the Houston Kingdom was defeated in a war with its nemesis, the Drowton Kingdom, and lost considerable territory in the south.
At that time, a large number of refugees who lost their homes flowed into the outskirts of the capital and formed huge slums. That was the Bay Area.
The entire country was in a state of reeling from defeat in the war, so the kingdom couldn’t take care of them properly, and now, 100 years later, it has become a place like a malignant tumor that no one can touch.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking about setting up a treatment center where all sorts of heinous things happen. Is it ignorance or recklessness?”
Suha smiled.
“Raymond must mean something. Please don’t laugh at me like that.”
“sorry. But I think it was too much of a decision.”
In fact, Remerton had the same thoughts as Suha.
‘Healer in the Bay Area. Absolutely impossible.’
Because the Bay Area wasn’t just a ghetto.
To some extent, it was an important place where the pendulum of the royal struggle could be tilted.
In the past, King Auden once said something like this.
‘If there is someone who can stabilize the public sentiment in the Bay Area, I will give that person any reward.’
For Auden, who devoted his entire life solely to reviving the Houston kingdom, the Bay Area was like an unsolved conundrum.
Upon hearing the words, the princes realized at once.
If you play a role in stabilizing public sentiment in the Bay Area, you can buy the king’s favor.
Since you are doing something that no one has been able to do, you will be recognized by the king at once and you will be able to get very close to the next kingship!
So they scrambled to attack the Bay Area.
‘But all failed. The older brother, the youngest, and me too.’
Remerton thought bitterly.
The charismatic 2nd Prince Cairn, the cool-headed and intelligent 3rd Prince Remerton, and the 4th Prince Seytil with strong swordsmanship.
No one has stabilized the Bay Area.
Even in the case of Lemerton, he risked being assassinated by an unknown person behind it.
‘An unforgettable memory.’
Remerton remembered the incident and felt chilled.
After that day, Lemerton completely abandoned the idea of stabilizing the Bay Area.
‘It’s not a place to settle down. I’d rather get rid of it.’
That was the conclusion Lemerton came to, and he even advised King Auden of it.
However, Oden, who listened to his advice, reacted unexpectedly.
‘They are also subjects of Houston Kingdom.’
Remerton still could not forget the look in the king’s eyes that day.
King Auden looked at Remerton with pity for the Bay Area, as
if Remerton didn’t know something important, and clicked his tongue.
In any case, King Auden had a special obsession with the poor of the Bay Area.
‘If we can only make a contribution to stabilizing the Bay Area, we will be able to get closer to the next kingship… …It’s impossible.’
The three princes had already given up long ago.
After all, the worst ghetto was the Bay Area.
To open a treatment center in such a place?
‘Stupid. Or am I ignorant of the world?’
Remerton shook his head.
In any case, there seemed to be no reason to pay more attention to Raymond.
He said he knew the heat just by looking at it.
Remerton judged that Raymond, who made such a foolish decision, had no chance of much growth in the future.
They will surely not last long in the slums and will be kicked out.
* * *
Lemerton wasn’t alone in thinking that.
Everyone who knew Raymond felt the same way.
“The Bay Area? Why would you go to a place like that?”
“Do you think you can be anything?”
Some even laughed at it.
“It suits you well.”
“I know. Since he’s a dirty illegitimate child, there’s no better place than the slums. Do you think it would fit just right?”
However, there were not a few people who were worried about Raymond.
These were the patients who had been treated by Raymond.
“Oh, therapist. Are you going to the slums? It’s not possible. Dangerous!”
“I don’t know what will happen to me when I go!”
While working at the relief center, not a few patients received Raymond’s treatment.
All the patients became passionate fans (?) of Raymond in a friendly treatment that was on a different level from the existing therapist.
‘Because other therapists are so unkind. Even if it’s just the basics, patients really like it.’
Raymond thought bewildered.
He had an iron rule.
No matter how snobbish, as a therapist, the basics are to do it.
Perhaps because there are so many bad therapists in the world, patients were often moved by that amount.
‘Wouldn’t it be great to open a business near here?’
In an instant, greed welled up in Raymond’s heart.
But he soon shook his head.
‘There’s no way the jackpot will fly. I’m sure it’ll be ruined.’
He had a fatal flaw.
It means using an unfamiliar ‘medicine’.
To the people of this world, ‘medicine’ was a strange treatment that was no different from pseudoscience.
It’s a reaction like that now, but if you actually open a business, who will be willing to come for treatment?
‘Moreover, my skills are still lacking. Now it’s just a ‘beginner resident’ level. Developing my skills is the priority.’
First of all, you need to build a reputation and develop your skills.
Unless you have the skill and reputation to overwhelm therapists who use heels, patients will not be willing to commit to ‘unfamiliar’ medicine.
‘I don’t intend to live as just a therapist.’
Raymond had big dreams.
Become the best healer and enjoy the greatest honor and wealth!
