She right.

Yes it is important to help someone, but you cant really do it for free, make it fair so that you won't have to deal with selfish people demand free. and they need money for materials to heal people.

that guy one page 8 looked as if he was cought red handed

 

[Antinomy]

Dang, didn't expect to see gorish bits (pretty weak) in my female mc slice of life.

Thanks for the TL

 

[YamiryuuZero]

Did not expect to see both gore and a valuable lesson in economy and health care in this story.
That was well done!

 

[Veru-sama]

Thanks for the chapter

Kudos to Sarasa for standing her ground and not allowing herself to be guilt-tripped into a disastrous precedent. Human life is precious, and Sarasa was only in a position to save one such life because of her supply of expensive potions, made from expensive ingredients that alchemists pay top dollar for so that explorers continue to do the dangerous work of acquiring more. As callous as it sounds to withhold treatment without (promise of) payment when someone is literally dying on the floor in front of you, I believe it is worse to participate in the destruction of a system that can save lives and restore livelihoods.

Might need to reread earlier chapters cause I don't remember what he did. 😅

So she was supposed to kiss her twice? The anime only did it once, come on.

Itsuki Mizuho understands some of the fundamentals of economics better than do the vast majority of those who pontificate about the subject.

Meanwhile, if Sarasa wants to pay her assistant much more than the prevailing wage, then Sarasa should just do so covertly; she could even set-aside funds, to be given later, without telling the girl.

Most japanese mangas tend to overemphasis the importance of life to the point its obnoxious and unrealistic so I do appreciate this manga being realistic about how people act even if its a bit jarring. she's spending her services + incredibly expensive materials to save someone's life so of course she should need to know if they can pay her back. Most of the op isekai fantasy settings tend to just have the mc use their god given powers to poof away illnesses but to them it costs literally nothing to Sarada it's literally her graduation present and life savings.
Ask anyone in real life if they're willing to give up their lifes savings save a stranger or a doctor giving up his certification to perform unauthorized operation to save someone and it'll always be a no.

We need more bosses like this

Laughs in European socialized health care. Seriously fucked up world view to have your health be dependent on your income. Good thing you don't have to give up your life savings when everyone in the country pitches in.

Not sure where the unauthorized operation is coming in, that's pretty off topic to what's happening. Seems she was following SoP for their world.

Also we do have doctor's basically going into war zones working for free/on donations. Doctor's without borders, red cross, red crescent moon?

Why the randos getting mad at free health care when she isn't even working for the government to offer that in the first place, please stop projecting your personal bias on the manga lol

Also you cannot leave a victim un-attended like ever, i'm pretty sure that's a law in every single country, the diff here is what she did was use potions equivalent to high risk surgery and other machinery which isn't something you do out of nowhere
But she wouldn't say "nah leave my shop and go die outside" she would def treated her enough to at least die in peace (and i don't need to state the obvious that dying in peace wouldn't make anyone raise an eye on you for ruining the economy lmao)

 

[potatoawards]

Setting the Tesla hacked channels stock market video comments aside

What a great chapter, showing that even if the design is fluffy, humans are still made of flesh, even with goofy adventures (and half of every person she meets gives her free stuff) economy is still a proper thing to be maintained
I used to see this as just Ryza without the thicc but i enjoy it trying to set it's own ground by taking a mature approach when needed

The problem of economic calculation bears as much on medical services as does any other issue of resource allocation. In a system of socialized medical services, the health of participants depends on the judgment of bureaucrats, guessing in the economic dark how to allocate resources. Proponents of technocracy just tell themselves that the death and suffering under those systems is “just how it is”.

Medical tourism develops as an means of escape from the bureaucracy, but of course hasn't been available to people in the most socialized systems, and vanishes as an option as technocracy seizes medical care in other nations.

 

[Oeconomist]

Nope, it isn't. And, in jurisdictions that now do mandate that some institutions deliver critical care, such was not the case at a time corresponding to the social order shown in this story, and even now not everyone merely capable of such delivery is required to give it.

I didn't think the author would touch this subject, but it's welcome for me.

I do overall feel that the dialogue during the event doesn't, for most part, reflect the sheer urgency of the situation, but I'm not sure if it's a translation problem.

At this point it would be nice if the cost of the different treatments Sarasa proposed would be explicited later.

I wonder if the author would ever put Sarasa in that spot, to save a life for free or to let someone die. I don't think she could let someone die in that way, despite her words in this chapter, but maybe there are ways to circumvent having to pay the entire cost upfront (like fractioned payments in the real world). The economical feasibility of it may vary however, and a well established shop have certainly more leeweay with unstandard methods of payments then a new shop (like Sarasa that doesn't have access to a supply of all materials used for this treatment)

Japanese popular fiction tends to have characters talking without other action when such other action would be reasonable and desirable. Even those who see that Sarasa should indeed have negotiated can also see that treatment should have begun sooner. (For example, washing cost little more than some clean water and physical labor, so an aborted procedure need not have cost much.)

 

[llde]

@Oeconomist I wasn't talking about the "talking with no action" , albeit I do agree with your points. I was taking about the dialogue itself, that seems too diluited while I would expect talking in these case to be "bare minimum, just fundamental info needed, rapid semi-telegramatic dialogue"
