I see scalpels needing craftsmen, but if they want to mass produce needles, they're better off looking for a machine, or in their case, magic to make them.

Throwing in a negative in that is just weird. That violates the expectations of that phrasing.

Would you trust a salesman that said this? said:
You should take <insert medicine here>
It can make you nauseous but it will absolutely cure your problem.
Not to mention it tastes good and will destroy your liver.

I can agree with you on the weirdness of the sentence composition, but that example isn't a very good one... namely because so many medications naturally have destructive aspects that it seems like a perfectly acceptable way to deliver that information.

so scapel and a syringe needle. not an easy thing to do. scapel needs to be extremely sharp so it is easier to operate on a patient.
but the syringe needle WILL be a challenge for sure.
I remember years ago, there was a program I watched where they were making scapels from knapped obsidian. They were shaper than their normal metal blades, and are able to be sterile.

Not really sure how easy obsidian would be to find, but it may be easier when done at a small (non-factory) production scale.

I agree that someone listing the pros and cons of a medicine does need to mention the potential side effects so I am expecting such things to get mentioned at some point, but putting the negative in the list after "not to mention" still seems unnatural to me. The negatives should be put up front with the initial negatives, or separated out with some other phrasing.

The "not to mention" part implies that the salesman thinks he could have left that part out and you wouldn't care. But I'd absolutely care about some sort of guaranteed side effect of destroying my liver.

Compare and contrast these different salesmen:
Original salesman said:
You should take <insert medicine here>
It can make you nauseous but it will absolutely cure your problem.
Not to mention it tastes good and will destroy your liver.
vs
Initially negative salesman said:
You should take <insert medicine here>
It can make you nauseous and will destroy your liver but it will absolutely cure your problem.
Not to mention it tastes good.
vs
Extra warning salesman said:
You should take <insert medicine here>
It can make you nauseous but it will absolutely cure your problem.
Not to mention it tastes good.
But you should know that it will destroy your liver.
vs
Side effects salesman said:
You should take <insert medicine here>
It can make you nauseous but it will absolutely cure your problem.
Not to mention it tastes good.
Side effects include but are not limited to: Destruction of your liver.

Shouldn't they wait a little to see if the pregnancy goes well first before other kids?

I dont see a random union of blacksmiths doing standardized and precise needles happening anytime soon but good luck Souma

Can someone point me to any chapter where they have even kissed, let alone slept together???
It's like the Anime for Farming Life in Another World, where the vampire has a baby and up until that point, there is zero indication that he has even laid a finger on her, let alone made a baby with her. You don't need to make it pornographic, but you can have them walking up with each other in the morning!!! or even just kissing... Are they even married yet?

I've yet to see those huge cultural differences mentioned in the previous chapter.

It was in chapter 60. Admittedly, that was released 2 years ago.

They kissed at the end of chapter 52 (Among the Snow part 2) after the talk with the previous king and queen. They started their physical relationship during the Saint visit (chapter 60). They are not officially married, just like he not officially the king just acting king, the wedding and coronation will happen later
due to events happing at the demon domian boarder it will happen after the birth. But most see them as already married(along withbthe rest of his current finances, just loke they see him as the king

I doubt Souma is aiming at as thin needles as modern ones, but it will still be challenging. They also shouldn't be made of basic steel prone to rusting, since they need to withstand use, washing, and sterilisation.

Not as hard as you may think. Wire-drawing has been around for millennia, and tube-drawing is a relatively simple extension of that process.

Super-fine needles may require alloys with the right properties (but consider: magic) but even 'crude' heavier gauge needles are still useful for the vast majority of medical purposes.

Both are actually relatively easy to make.

Syringes similar to drawing wire, a technique known since the Bronze Age, even the Stone Age if you look at some gold and silver artifacts from those eras.

Scalpels in their basic form have been around since the Stone Age as well... Obsidian makes for very sharp blades, and the very best scalpels nowadays copy this using artificial sapphire...

In fact, most chirurchical tools haven't changed much, if at all, since Galen described his tools and their treatment to make them sterile... in detail. In 150 AD.... And he was "merely" building on existing tradition.

( general Note: the ....tragedy... of Galen is that he was a very Schmott Lad, but also very orthodox. So he formalised some very important practices now common in medicine, but also rigidly stuck to the Theory of Humors while getting some things very wrong by simply copying Things that Had Been True for Generations without checking them himself...

The later medieval Doctors more or less deified Galen and considered his notions as "The Science is Settled". Those Doctors also very much werent surgeons. That was beneath them, since surgery and compounding medicine were considered trades and beneath the vaunted Learned Academics that they were.
(not like large swathes of modern Academics at all, oh dear sir no..... ( should I use a /sarc here? )
)
