If Doc Glauckomfecken is a reliable source, with the exception of several specialties, this seems almosy universal to all doctors

wow I just checked it looks like a Spanish translation is already at 16 chapters.

 

[FERNANDOHYDE]

Thanks for picking this one up!

 

[izarist]

Thanks for continuing this. I read raws but the most important part aka those medical stuff too heavy for me to understand in moonrunes lol

He freaking operated on a chimaera. Madness.

How convenient that a chimera skin is only as durable as a human's

It seems more likely that it's a griffin
nvm, saw the snake tail

So, only took 3 chapters for the author to start pulling stuff from thin air. As someone else said, suddenly a Chimera's skin is as easy to pierce and cut as a human's skin in an operation procedure? Also, all of the medication he used that is likely mathematically prescribed for a a human body as far as size goes also somehow "magically" (pun intended) works on a Chimera with a body arguably the size of an elephant. Heck, even horse medicine doses can threaten to kill a human. Notice I said doses and not the drug itself regardless of recent propaganda about certain drugs in favor of certain vaccines, but I'm talking about mg amounts. He's not a vet and while most doctors can prescribe medication doses, there may or may not be enough in a medipen or gauze/swab to have an immediate effect on a creature of this size. Also, not factoring in magic, or if the creature itself was magic and the spear tip may have been magic, etc. etc. etc. This whole scenario was written from the perspective that the MC hasn't even immersed himself fully in this world and has completely missed the fact that they've been calling him a magician. Likely indicating that he thinks they're just superstitious.

Can GP really do surgery?

It is important to note that the medicine was all applied after the slime excreted its fluids on the chimera, so the slime's fluids may have had an effect on the drugs being able to work on the chimera despite the low dosage.
Chimera's skin itself has never been portrayed as tough in this specific manga, the only indication of the toughness of the chimera's skin was the speartip piercing through the skin. Assuming that there was no magic involved, the only magic we have seen from this world is the healing magic shown briefly by the "priest", if a spear can pierce through it, it is more than likely possible that a medical scalpel could as well.
Well, these are all assumptions as I haven't read the following chapters, but damn at least try and give the author a chance to explain in the following chapters when it's only been 3 chapters in and the current situation hasn't even been resolved.

Unless the Slime's fluids can somehow multiple the drug then dosage does matter. Usually a multiplication of something like a drug through something else creates a dilution of the original substance, lessening the intended effect, which would worsen the situation and continues to raise the question about dosage.

Chimera's skin itself has never been portrayed as tough in this specific manga, the only indication of the toughness of the chimera's skin was the speartip piercing through the skin.This in itself is an indication and portrayal of the toughness of the Chimera's skin. It's a portrayal of the toughness by way of the speartip

The point made was not about the Chimera's skin being portrayed as super tough in the story, but the assumption made by the author that a Chimera's skin would be as easy to cut as with a scalpel as a human's skin. A Chimera is a fictional fantasy creature of large size. Let's look at how veterinarian surgeons handle, say elephants even in our world. Cutting them open with a scalpel is doable, but difficult with the mass of the elephant. The inner pressure due to the mass would create other problems alone due to the surgeons just slicing the animal open. Instead, they have to perform other methods and have to go through great lengths to ensure their safety and the animal's safety through the procedure. Just like with a human, they're trained to do this, make sure the animal's vitals are ok while performing the procedure. They don't just slice it open with a random scalpel designed to be used on humans. Taking care of animals and humans in a medicinal capacity are two different things. Especially taking care of large animals versus humans. That was the point of that statement. The author assumed that a scalpel designed for a human could be used on a large, fantasy creature, like a Chimera.

Assuming that there was no magic involved, the only magic we have seen from this world is the healing magic shown briefly by the "priest", if a spear can pierce through it, it is more than likely possible that a medical scalpel could as well.

My point, again, was that MC is approaching this world with the assumption that everything will operate the same as in our world. Author is forcing this to be true as Isekai authors almost always do when it comes to the versions of MC's bringing modern ideas to a supposedly middle aged society lacking in "knowledge." Yet, none of this takes into account that this is an alien world and our ways may not work there.

The point about magic is that it exists in this world, whether we've just seen healing so far, it exists. MC is too wrapped up in what he knows and believes to stop and consider that and maybe factor it into his procedures and approach to medicine now that he's in this world.

Well, these are all assumptions as I haven't read the following chapters, but damn at least try and give the author a chance to explain in the following chapters when it's only been 3 chapters in and the current situation hasn't even been resolved.

Calm down. Learn to appreciate criticism for what it is. Also, these stories usually follow along similar tropes. It's obvious the author wants MC to be right all the time despite not having any training or experience as a veterinarian. I could see if MC's first patient in this world was humanoid and shared similar qualities with a human, but even that is sketchy when you're talking about going to an entirely different and alien world. My criticism still stands whether it's first chapter, second chapter, or third chapter. A better author would've considered these worldbuilding aspects. "This is a foreign world to MC, some things that work in our world may not work. Maybe I should make my MC a bit more cautious and observant to how this world works and see what works from his experience in the other world and what he has to adapt to" rather than brute force make everything from MC's world automatically work and be better than what already exists in this world. But like I said, that's one of the tropes of isekai. I'm not surprised.

Dayumm didn't know GP's do emergency surgery on top of being a vet for mystical creatures as well! Even has all the tools he needs in his magical doctor's toolbag! Really stretching the suspension of disbelief here doc.

A battlefield doctor or hell even a combat medic would have been a better fit for the setting. Do some cool stuff a la macgyver so we can see some medicine done without the help of modern medical instruments. Copy early chapters of Team Medical Dragon if you have to.

But a friggin GP!? Like what? Maybe glorious nippon GP are just built different?

Medical tools can cut a string if it is laid down on it. I would expect it to be able to cut, even if there is a slight resistance.

I think it would fit the story a lot more if it was something like he's a Doctor more obsessed with the practice then treating all. He doesn't care of the politics or whether their evil or good. Just likes the practice of treating and healing someone. I imagine a bit more goofy of a manga. But then we are getting into just a completely new story. I hope the MC isn't the type to be overly good at everything and has to be super nice no matter what.
