Volume 4 - Ch 2.3
Your father invited me to be the new dean of the Department of Medicine
(Is that so? I didnt realize)
It seems that Bruno has made all sorts of arrangements behind the scenes.
Recently, hes been so focused on the college that he often doesnt return home. Incidentally, while Claude and Bruno have a healthy rivalry as the Chief Physician and the Head Court Pharmacist, it seems that theyve joined forces on this matter.
A collaboration between physicians and doctors and between the Departments of Medicine and Pharmacology would be a very powerful one.
Thats very reassuring. Thank you
Youll be appointed as the dean of the Department of Drug Discovery. Also, youll be a professor
Upon hearing those words, Palles eyes widened and he practically chocked in surprise. Seeing as he had come to the imperial court, there was no point in hiding it from Palle anymore.
Ive been arrogant
Thats why were having this conversation. If youre going to the same college, then youll hear whats been told to the students
Speaking of Claude, according to Bruno and other court physicians, hes quite skilled at surgery. Almost all surgeries in this world are performed bare-handed, which results in a high post-operative mortality rate due to infections. Claude is especially talented at sewing thin blood vessels together, and his patients dont bleed much during surgery. He works meticulously while using his god arts.
Compared to the average surgeon in this world, his success rate was higher.
Your father wants to turn the Imperial College of Medicine into the worlds foremost provider of medical care. Its an extraordinary and ambitious thing to think about
Isnt it interesting?Claude asked with a bold smile.
When she heard that, the Empress wiped her lips with a napkin, stopped eating, and asked,
Claude, youll support Falma, right?
Im a physician, a medical scientist, and truthful. Ill always accept correct theories
Im not stuck living in the past, was what Claude expressed.
Your Majesty, I would like to ask for permission for one thing
After everyone had finished eating, Claude suggested to the Empress,
Will you permit the dissection of criminals executed by the Empire?
Until now, medical students who wished to learn about anatomy would either watch their teacher perform a dissection or dissect an animal by themselves. However, Claude thought that this results in an incomplete understanding of anatomy.
Thank you very much, Chief Physician-sama
Falma bowed deeply.
