[ The video feed is just some extremely high definition footage of a bouquet of flowers blooming and then dying in what surely must be time-lapse. But no here come all the cute bugs at regular speed to munch on the plants. This is all set on black velvet and surrounded by what seems to be pieces of some small predator's skeleton cast in silver. ]

So everyone wants to know if your world has magic or space travel or- I dunno, pop-punk?

Here's the real question, is anyone from a world where there are doctors who don't constantly sound like they're trying to talk you into crawling up their ass to live with them in there?

[ oh now this was quite delightful to watch. He can't help but chuckle at that question. ]

I don't think there is a world like that. Doctors tend to all be the same no matter their intentions, I'm afraid.

[ the video stays on the bugs and the flowers, though a hand does come into the frame long enough to have a little spider climb up on it ]


The doctors you've gone to can't be this bad.

[trouvaille]

No, they're all pricks.

( gwen are you still mad frederick suggested you need therapy. )

[pummelgranite]

Even at home?

[Video]

[purple_reign]

Have they all been that bad here?

[pummelgranite]

[ BABY HAVE YOU EVER EVEN MET YOUR THERAPIST?? ]

Uh huh.

[Super casually making this private, dressed in his usual plaid, beardy Will Graham is surrounded by dogs and is clearly Fixing Something on the floor when he turns the video on.]

[ Hm. HMM. That's interesting enough to actually pick up her phone for. ]


That's who's ass Chilton's living in, yeah.

[rekt]

Uh, no. It's usually more "you're dying, meds are too rationed to hand out, so sorry, get bed rest and stay hydrated (if your family wants to give up their water rations for you)."

Zombie apocalypes?

[am_i_a_monster]

There was one unique doctor on the world I'm from.

[pummelgranite]

[ Persephone remembered this girl. Quiet, intense, alone. ]


Just one?

[ex_clobbers559]

We had medical AIs on my planet. No asses to crawl up, thank goodness.

[pummelgranite]

. . . are they cool?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Saddest ploy to get my attention that I have ever witnessed.

[pummelgranite]

@FredricChilton your pussy is way too dry to be riding my dick like this

[khajidont]

Very metal video.

Also, yes. There are lots of nice doctors where I'm from! ImPort doctors are a crap shoot though, I'll give you that. Bad experience?

[pummelgranite]

Thanks. Hey.

Nuh uh, not specifically. It's just weird. There were all kinds of decent doctors in the NHS back home. Seems weird that the only ones who are ported in have to Be Like That.

[deadsmizing]

Couldn't say. Doctors don't know what to do with me anymore. Except maybe dissecting... me for research purposes.

[She looks as pale as the dead if that helps with the mystery here.]

[pummelgranite]

[ Man there are a lot of girls out there facing down vivisection, huh? She can relate. ]

Brutal.

[glassfall]

Sorry, but I have no idea what you just asked.

[At least as far as the last question goes.]

But I have discovered a lot of amazing things here, if that helps?

[It probably doesn't, but hey! She's trying!]

[pummelgranite]

[ it absolutely doesn't. ]

Don't worry about it. Hey.

[acclimatized]

I never knew I sounded like that. Sorry.

[pummelgranite]

[ Huh, another Brit. Well he appears over 35 and has already sassed, therefor will only receive teen snot in turn. ]

And now you know.

[aggressiveapathy]

Doesn't exist.

[pummelgranite]

Here I didn't realize how special home was.

[knaval]

Okay, firstly, love this aesthetic. Secondly, my race don't have asses, really. Thirdly, the only doctors I know would sooner do me in than try to get me to... crawl up there.

Video!

[pummelgranite]

So what do you have? Tail pipes? USB ports?

And thanks, I try.

[lasersounds]

Do I even want to know why you're asking that question?

...Most doctor's I've met have been dicks. I mean, some were well-meaning dicks, but still...

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh. And the ones here are crazy dicks.

Take an educated guess.

[wizzardly]

Well, people don't listen to ours very much to begin with. If that counts. Mostly because ours just tend to do less talking, I think. [a beat.] ...Unless it's to sell you bits of dried creatures in bottles, or to try and talk up the merits of having a singular leg. Or arm.

[the Discworld doctor who actually heals people is a rare breed.]

I suppose the psychiatrickerists can be grating, but only mad people see them anyhow.

not here

[slightlyoffchilt]

["Psychiatrickerists".

BETRAYAL.]

[dirtyredneck]

I met one.

[Denise was good people.]

Someone trying to get you to crawl up their ass?

[pummelgranite]

More like witness and potential accessory to ass-crawling.

Just the one, huh?

voice

[siriusly]

Haa-?

[visual input does not make sense in relation to that doctor remark. this is confusing.] Um...I don't think I ever met a doctor like...that? [he thinks?] A lot of the medical staff are androids, and they're pretty polite...

voice

[pummelgranite]

What I'm getting from all this is that we should replace doctors with robots ASAP.

[ofgoldenfoil]

My world used to have magic, but it died off with the first dragons long ago.

And I don't think there are doctors like the ones in this world where I'm from.

[pummelgranite]

[ Oh, this kid. She remembers meeting him once, a lifetime ago. Laura had thought he looked cool. ]


Why'd the magic die? Were the first dragons its source or something?

[audio]

[kestreldawn]

The only "doctors" I had for the most part in my galaxy were med-droids. They're programmed to simply perform a function and do whatever necessary to fix it. The humanoid doctors (rare, but still existed) were the ones, as you said, 'crawling up your ass.' I tended to avoid them.

[audio]

[pummelgranite]

"Replace people with robots" really seems to be the winning move here.

[itistolaugh]

It's a multiversal fact that talking like a douchebag accounts for at least eighty percent of getting a license to practice, in any medical field.

[pummelgranite]

You seem to manage.
