He knows people are willing to come to Yide Hall because my stitches don't hurt, but he's unaware of the local anesthetic. He just attributes it to my suturing technique. The Jishi Hall in Yeyang is indeed a general practice, skilled in all departments, but the branch here in town is far less comprehensive. They aren't skilled in orthopedics, for one, so there's no reason for them to compete with me on that front. Or perhaps they just don't think it's worth their while."
