"I haven't had time to mentally prepare myself."
That's weak. It's not like you need to prepare much for that, and the sooner the better.

"I'm not that shameless!"

"Please allow me to treat him."
More a case of, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." Already started.

"I'm not a doctor."
You are now.

He can't be that dumb to immediately go against instructions.

1. Falma, if your brother is playboy who have 25th girlfriend. I don't think the reason he broke up with her is because he doesn't want to make her sad because of his dead.

2. This world still don't know blood transfusion is possible? So it's more behind than 17th century in our world then.

There is one thing I don't like about narrative. MC often uses when describing treatments statistical data. Like in this very chapter:
Around 90% of patients...
We know why he says that but other character don't. More suitable would someting like:
I estimate 90% chance
It is one thing having divine revelation about a procedure but phrasing it like it is already being used. Remeber that from the other characters point of view Falma is the only one who poses this knowledge.

25th gf, on a world where they have no idea about bacteria and viruses that can be transferred.

And then there's a cliffhanger. Probably where his brother keeps his stash
of research

Look like it's a mistake on my part, thanks for the correction.

Despite their medical knowledge being atrocious... the sterilization spell is the wet dream of some medical specialists, just imagine, you say a few words, and an entire area becomes sterilized of bacteria.

The magic they have may have had an adverse effect on their research culture, it isn't really explored but there are hints this society became a little too dependent on their magic, and with the religious practices going hand in hand with the magical practice they slacked on the more "mundane" areas.

Not quite. The 17th century saw one well documented case of transfusing blood between dogs (though it didn't follow up on the recepient's health long term, just called it a success because it didn't die right away. As dogs have a lot of blood types, the probability that everything was fine after that is low). Subsequently they went all in and started trying to transfuse animal blood to humans, with predictably disastrous effects. The practice was banned and only came back at the beggining of the 20th century.

There was one obstetrician in the 19th century that tried transfusing between humans and reportadly got a coin flip result (for 10 attempts 5 were deemed successful), but he did that in secret and didn't publish it. So yeah, as far as considering it "possible", it's pretty recent.
