On a professional level:
unless it's an emergency, I'm not currently handling patients at this time
so if you have a general check up or you're worried about a rash or something seek out one of the other doctors
great we've got that squared away

Non-professional question:
what's waiting for you back in your home?
Family, friends, saving the world, a hot date?
just a bit of curiosity on my side
Cheers

kicking my mom's ass

[limbical]

fuck yeah
I'll drink to that

[blackwaterchild]

There's a girl back home too.

I guess we're friends.

She's alright.

But also stupid, so I need to get back to save her from herself, probably. So there's that too.

I guess.

[it's not like she likes Yuri or anything GOSH]

[limbical]

oh a friend of yours
That's nice

[blackwaterchild]

[. . .]

Why does that somehow feel like you're making fun of me

[limbical]

dont be so suspicious
i genuinely am glad you have someone to get back to, Miu

[blackwaterchild]

... Thanks.

Anyway, why aren't you taking patients now?

[limbical]

because I'm mentally unwell and not sober and i dont plan on being sober for awhile
i thought about lying or being cheeky but
frankly it seems pointless to do that with you.

[blackwaterchild]

Appreciate that, it's a good call. I hate liars.

Put up a do not disturb sign for a bit.

[limbical]

well i dont care for lying so we're on the same page

maybe a
"Doctor is Out" sign

[blackwaterchild]

Do you even have a lot of patients?

[She's curious, honestly.]

[limbical]

i had a few consistent ones during my first month
i still have a couple now i see regularly.
Not to mention the occasional broken bones and people doing foolish things to hurt themselves trying to do the impossible

So yeah i'd say maybe an average of like five or so a month
less than a typical clinic but still a decent amount in our situation

[blackwaterchild]

Huh. Well, that's good, at least you saw some business.

I guess when money doesn't matter here, the amount of patients you actually have doesn't really matter... I guess in a place without money you're supposed to do what you love.

[She can't even begin to imagine that, so it still sounds boring to her] You should teach me medicine too.

[limbical]

i dont know if i love it
but I chronically struggle to ignore people who need help
so there's that i guess.

yeah?
you wanna be a doctor or a nurse or something?

[blackwaterchild]

God you remind me of that girl I know back home.

Anyway, do you really think I have the bedside manner for a nurse or a doctor?

[PLEASE...]

I'm just bored, and it's something to learn. If it's difficult, then that's more time I can spend on it rather than wasting it on staring at the walls or walking around aimlessly.

[limbical]

hey it's not like the surgeon i learned from was the best at empathy or whatever.
You'd beat him out on that easily.

But that's fair.
we can start with some first aid, see if you feel like learning more.
Don't know that i'd be a good teacher, but we can try.

[blackwaterchild]

That's saying a lot, damn.

I pick things up pretty quickly, so it shouldn't be too hard. I look forward to learning, Sensei~~
