[Anders is sitting in a break room of sorts, and he's wearing green medical scrubs. He also looks a bit annoyed at the moment.]

To anyone who wants to use fireworks in the near future, please be cautious with them. This means please do not light them near or on your body, do not fire them at anyone, and for the Maker's sake, do not use them while intoxicated.

Thank you.

Oh boo, you're no fun.

[rebelhealer]

Say that again when you've had to treat burns on someone's arse.

[lootsnshoots]

I don't know nothin' about medicine on account of not particularly needing it but I'm just gonna hazard a guess here and say that "hey you wouldn't believe this but I had to treat a guy who lit his ass on fire" is one of your better work stories.

[rebelhealer]

He lit it on fire by shooting fireworks out of his ass.

[lootsnshoots]

By the Light are you serious? Because that's incredible.

[rebelhealer]

He claimed he did it for a viral video.

[He has only the vaguest idea of what it means when a video is 'viral'.]

Speaking from personal experience?

[rebelhealer]

The clinic had a string of fireworks related injuries recently. And alcohol-caused injuries.

[psychophilia]

So no celebrating yourself?

[rebelhealer]

I volunteered to work that night. Just as well, since apparently getting drunk is a big part of celebrating this world's new year.

[psychophilia]

Yeah. Gonna wanna get used to that. Makes life worth living.

[monster_san]

Yes, those all seem like... rather unwise choices.

[rebelhealer]

You have no idea.

[monster_san]

I take it you've had to deal with some of the [....] consequences of such decision-making?

[rebelhealer]

I work at a clinic.

Someone had an eventful New Year's, I take it?

[rebelhealer]

More like bizarre.

[mildmanneredwriter]

For some people, that's the some thing.

[rebelhealer]

True. We had at least two cases of fingers and toes nearly getting blown off, burns of all kinds, and we even got patients who showed up at the clinic still drunk. To say nothing of the incidents that didn't involve fireworks and were just alcohol induced stunts.

[mildmanneredwriter]

At least the porter cities are cities. I remember a few holiday celebrations when I was a kid that involved fireworks and hay silos. Didn't go well for the people celebrating.

...I read in the newspaper, I mean. Wasn't involved myself.

Have you never heard of this thing called 'natural selection?' I think you're interfering with it at the moment, monsieur.

[rebelhealer]

[Tell him he's not talking to an Orlesian.]

Have you ever heard of the Hippocratic Oath?

lmao i'm sorry i'm so slow

[kidsmenu]

[She might as well be, really.]

I have. The two things, natural selection and the Hippocratic Oath, they make uncomfortable bedfellows, don't they?

[rebelhealer]

The way I see it, it doesn't matter if someone did something stupid, it's still my duty to heal them.

[kidsmenu]

Evidently. Is that what happened? Someone turned up charred from their silly celebrations, and you've been their doctor.
