Does anyone know if the fast child-sized squirrels are dewormed? Do we need rabies vaccines? Are there any vets in town?

For those who don't know me, I'm Dr. Robert Romano. As of a few days ago I was the only non-magical medical doctor in Etraya. If that's changed please talk to me, I'm so lonely.

And I'm serious about the fast squirrels, I also got anti-flea treatments for anyone covered in fur.

It is. But now due to past events here involving a psychiatrist, I need to ask you of you eat people.

[restingstitchface]

Not at all. At this point, I'd rather eat anything but people.

Consider me an honorary pescatarian.

[badlydisarmed]

Perfect. I love it when people aren't cannibals.

I spend most of my time at the hospital, though honestly there's not that much work to do.

[restingstitchface]

Ah, the eternal conflict between boredom and people being stupid enough to require medical assistance.

But isn't that always the way?

[badlydisarmed]

It wasn't usually. But I worked in emergency medicine, the field can be many things but it's never boring.

[restingstitchface]

You miss the challenge.

[badlydisarmed]

Desperately, but I lost an arm, then died. So now I'm here wondering if I have to worry about what happens if the anthropomorphic animals carry the same diseases regular animals do.

[Noted.]

I imagine voicing your concerns hasn't gotten you much traction. In fact, I would hazard you have gotten more backchat than anything else, especially from those in question.

[badlydisarmed]

People are mildly offended I'd suggest creatures covered in fur could get fleas, but I expected that.

[restingstitchface]

Do you suppose they expected you to give medical advice? Free advice by the way. You should charge them for anything else. Waste not, want not. Maybe then they'll appreciate it.

[badlydisarmed]

What would I charge them exactly? Everything here is free.

[restingstitchface]

Time? It is always free, but it always has a cost.

[badlydisarmed]

At this point, I'm happy to give people my time for free. It's so dull here between missions.

[restingstitchface]

Tell me about it. I suppose it's macabre of an emergency doctor to wish for carnage, but I suppose there's a delightful irony to savour, there.

[badlydisarmed]

Did you use the word savour on purpose because I mentioned the cannibal psychiatrist?

[restingstitchface]

Not at all. But now you mention it. Well, it does have a certain bite, doesn't it?

[badlydisarmed]

Oh, you're loving this. I don't even know your name yet.

[restingstitchface]

Dr. Jonathan Crane.

I would enquire as to yours, but you've already introduced yourself.
