I would be happy if you'd do me the honor of answering a few questions.

First, I would have it known how a doctor sets about establishing their license to practice. Is it the case that such legality is established upon entrance to this world? I highly doubt any sane medical council would permit an unlicensed physician to remain in post, as negligence is surely as endemic in this world as anywhere else. Pertinently, what funding is available for research fellowships, or starting one's own practice?

Second, might those of you with an appreciation of medical science be willing to permit me to make an account of your state of health? A physical examination with all that's entailed. Were I so fortunate as to receive your participation in medical screening, I dare say that it would assist the future treatment of everyone.

Please do me the honor of withholding your response if it fails to address either point in question. You have my gratitude, in any case.

[Do reply though. That's just his ego showing.]

I could not doubt the use of such gathered information. So you are saying it's a repository of knowledge?

[Fanfiction doesn't exist, here, okay.]

[boobwindow]

Right.
There's so much to do on it, too. Although, don't believe EVERYTHING you read on it.

[curada]

Don't worry. My work keeps me bound, even if I've been assigned something entirely unfitting.

[boobwindow]

What's the job?

[curada]

Tailoring; I am more familiar with sewing stitches, honestly speaking.

[boobwindow]

Since you're already asking, you're aware you can change jobs, right?

[curada]

I am. I do also, unfortunately, require a job to move into before I relinquish that.

[boobwindow]

Do you want to start your own practice or would you be willing to work with another one for a while?

[curada]

I cannot decide. My independent state of mind enjoys the former, whilst reminding me that circumstances require the latter. I fear, whoever you are, that my answer depends on whom I would be working with.

[boobwindow]

Another imPort? I don't know what you would be open to.

[curada]

Somebody with reasonable experience? Alas, my experience in neurology does lend me to consultancy more so than general practice.

[boobwindow]

I don't know any neurologists, to be honest.
I know someone in the medical field, though.

[curada]

May I be so bold as to ask who?

[boobwindow]

His name is John Watson.

[curada]

I see. Do you know why he chose his line of work?

[boobwindow]

I don't think I ever asked.

[curada]

I can ask him myself at a later date. I am determined to recommence my regular line of work, regardless. Though I should willingly give you thanks for your assistance. Do you perhaps have further questions for me?

[boobwindow]

Happy to help.
Shouldn't I be asking you that? You're the new guy.

[curada]

[Well...]

Could you turn me in the right direction, no matter how laborious, to those cities that have made medical research their main focus?

Also, having read this exchange for a short time, I've noticed it's labelled your name as Karen Starr. Is that the case?

[boobwindow]

De Chima's a good place to start. It's where I'm living, too.
That's right.

[curada]

De Chima is where I find myself, you know, Miss Starr. I confess my relief that they chose my location with more foresight than my profession, it seems.

[boobwindow]

It's booming with business, that's for sure. You might be able to find something more specialized if you do some digging.

[curada]

I do not doubt it. And what is it that you do here?

[boobwindow]

I work R&D. Research and development?

[curada]

I am familiar with the term. What field, if I may?
