073. Diagnosis

Puberty isn't meant to be a yo-yo. At all. If only there was a way to monitor the long term impact of a back and forth age reversal curses. There are more important matters to project for everyone to see.

Why don't we set some clinic ground rules in the face of so many in this cozy work space. Where we work. Other activities have happened. Don't think I don't know.

1. No sex in the examination room or the champagne room while we're at it. Any violation of this will result in an investigation. You will not like it. This will be called The Returner Clause.

2. Patient doctor confidentiality is between one patient and all doctors. We share because we care. Also because one way or another I will find out. You will not like it that way.

3. Say it if you mean it and if you're willing to face the consequences.

4. If you don't know how to make coffee, don't even bother.
 
Now that that is out of the way. What are we dealing with. The diagnostics are falling into a pattern.

I would be willing to compromise with a nametag.

One on the front and one on the back.

Are we so impossible to distinguish?

He wears more colors than I do.

Not impossible. But likely.

You asked Chase first? Homeboy doubts your qualifications. What are they besides recreating the Parent Trap?

I did not ask Doctor Chase; the suggestion to volunteer at a clinic was his. I have heard many good things about yours in particular. Even if at times

My qualifications as they are right now would not put me in a position for diagnostics. But I have lived for quite some time, seen a great number of things, and learn quickly for it.

If Doctor Chase is too uncomfortable, perhaps you could at least point to another competent doctor practicing in the City, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

If Doctor Chase is too uncomfortable, then I think he should fix it up his own way.

There are a good number of clinics. I am pleased to hear that there is ass kissing going on around here, from who and for what I can only suspect.

Learning what quickly would be a good thing to fill in.

I don't suppose leaving the sources in the dark would leave you any more inclined to treat those on your team more nicely?

Learning most things. I'd take classes first, but I don't think the City has a medical school.

If I treat them nicely they think they'll get off easily. Or that they don't have to work as hard to do something right.

I doesn't have a school above college level. Around here it's the kamikazi way of learning.

I suppose that's one take on discipline.

Perhaps I'll simply peruse the library, then.

There's no need to be concerned, Doctor Chase, I'll find another clinic.

You can pick up basic phlebotomy in around two weeks.

And there are resources that can be easily found in the City?

[identity profile] worksmart.livejournal.com 2009-06-17 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
There are nurses and a hospital.

I understand.

Thank you.

It's sticking needles into people. Nobody will thank you for it.

Welcome.
