ah, yeah, asmodeus scans, another one of those that do releases on their website first and only rarely, when page visits drop, upload to other sites such as mangadex.

You'd think death in a world where most injuries mean death new ways to save lives would be praised.

Instead its ignored to protect interest.

Its like when Ignaz Semmelweis noticed pregnant women dying linked to doctors not washing their hands after working on corpses and everyone ignored his evidence and said "nah no way".

I kinda would say that the skin sewing problem is already very well solved by healing magic.
Like, the problem with it before was that it fixed superficial wounds, but not the internal problems.

Yeah, her methods are well and good, but healing magic is no joke. If you keep a healer on standby, they could mend cuts and more or less render sutures an unnecessary tool outside of, like...magic-immune patients if they even exist.
Or patients who can't afford the healers' fees. By the looks of it, all healers more or less dream of belonging to aristocracy. That's not something you can change overnight. If in the meantime suture techniques can save lives, it's well worth developing.

I think him leaving straight up leaving the academy is wrong. They have to be doing something there to improve their healing magic (since they don't seem to teach anything else, since magic is all the professionals do), instead he should take both mentorship routes, and basically just use the magic part to close wounds and potentially sterilize after properly correcting the conditions.

A problem, not the problem. Not fixing internal problems was a large issue for people who could afford healing magic. Not everybody had access to or could afford healing magic, practitioners are rare and selective. In contrast, anybody with hands can be trained to suture a wound, and needles and thread suited to the task can be made fairly inexpensively, once production lines are in place

Why isn't she considering the benefit of the healing magic? Why use thread when you could use healing magic to just heal the skin?
Also, it may leave a worse scar, but at least the thicker thread will do the job - it's the first step in the development of medical knowledge and suturing, so why dismiss it because it isn't comparable to modern medical thread? :pout:

It's cheaper for thread then healing magic. I think the idea is that healing magic is rarer than real life doctors.

That's fair. I wonder how difficult it would be to spread healing magic to the commonfolk? I guess magic power might be hoarded by the aristocracy.

Since magic healing is used so haphazardly in the nation, if they could spread the healing magic among commoners, it would also be of higher efficiency since they could teach it properly, from the basics. Like not doom people who could be easily saved, just because an ignorant magic healer can't fix the problem purely externally and is refusing to even touch the patient. If commoners started to get such benefits, there's no way the nobles, and other wealthy, would actually keep ignoring the chance to stay alive, no matter what the old-school healers tried to say. That would inevitably lead to already established magic healers to seek new knowledge, even if they initially didn't want to.

It would almost certainly lead to a political conflict where the establishment tries to crack down, but it would also be quite satisfying if plebian healers were actually better at it than the nobility.
