There is. Admittedly I would be doing better if I were not so easily distracted by the internet. One interesting thing leads to another and then it's the middle of the night and I'm reading up on things not remotely related to what my original line of inquiry was about. [Not to mention the cat videos, but he wasn't about to admit that at his age he was still susceptible to cute things. He's an adult, damn it.] They really ought to have some kind of guide for imPorts who arrive from another era, some sort of book they can hand us when we get here to address the questions that come from being of another era.
[He doesn't know the word for it, but he facepalms anyway.] I am going to sound old, but I don't care: back in my day doctor's visits were expensive and it was hard to even find doctors in the part of Siberia that I grew up in, so it genuinely irks me that here, now, where doctors are common and more affordable than they possibly ever will be back home, people are passing them up. I cannot fathom what logic allows someone to skip over a professional with up-to-date training and instead makes them think someone as woefully out of date as myself is the better option.
This place will see me go completely white-haired, [he mutters, pinching the bridge of his nose.] Which is appropriate, as I have never felt so much like an old man in my life.
