Since it appears that the changes that happened to our home last month are not yet going away, I would like to make the best of what we have here, and that means making sure the clinic is prepared in case of emergency.

I do not often speak on the journals, so allow me to introduce myself- I'm Dr. Simon Tam, and I work at the Paradisa medical clinic, which is now located in the Ira Tower. [Have a sketch of a map to the clinic.] If anybody who has arrived in the past few months has any sort of medical skills- a healing gift or magic, or even any experience working with your hands- we could really use your help here. Crises do not happen often, but I would prefer we not be caught offguard.

If anybody is willing to learn the basics of first aid and medical care or needs to brush up on their skills, Dr. Keller or myself would be more than happy to teach you- and both of us are surgeons, so we are able to handle any heavy lifting of that sort. A few people to help keep the place tidy would be welcomed, as well.

I thank you for your consideration.

I cared for my tentraplegic boyfriend back home. I know a little about bed baths and helping out with food but I don't know anything more than that.

I.. don't have magic, or skills, really, but I'm willing to learn.

Back home I was studying forensics at college. I was thinking about becoming a medical examiner, so.. not exactly living patients, but I could learn. I like helping people.

[She needs something to do around here, a task to put her mind and energy to.]

[pompous_today]

Both valuable services to provide, however- those are things that often get overlooked, especially as shortstaffed as we have been.

[pompous_today]

Excellent. You're right, working with dead bodies is not quite the same- but again, Dr. Keller and myself do most of the heavy lifting anyway.

dictated;

[raisingdad]

I can assist, do basic first aid.. things like that.

Is your clinic often busy?

[teenagebadboy]

Taking care of people is all I can do. [Shrugs} I guess it'shard to get people with experience around 'ere. If you want my help I can provide it. Is this something you do for free tho?

[radiantwingedone]

... So that is where it went.

[pompous_today]

Yes. I was hoping it would have been back to its original location by now, but... none of the changes last month have reverted.

dictated;

[pompous_today]

Which would definitely be a big help.

It can depend- if it's cold or flu season or there's something dangeous going on in the castle, we can be. It seems like we are either very busy or nearly empty.

[pompous_today]

It is indeed; we have been shortstaffed for a while now, so any help would be appreciated.

Payment can be provided if you want, yes- supplies and the like may be wished for, but nothing can replace the actual people.

[teenagebadboy]

Getting paid for helping out with stuff around the clinic sounds good to me. I could probably use some training.

Just one thing, I don't have to wear a pink shirt right? If I have the deal is off.

[raisingdad]

I've heard the castle likes to do strange things to people.

dictated

[inafadingcrown]

You will continue to have my help, of course, and if there are any who wish to learn medicine of a less... technological sort, I would be happy to teach as well.

[pompous_today]

[Simon laughs.]

Definitely not. And again, we would be happy to provide training- knowing first aid has proven useful here over and over.

dictated;

[pompous_today]

Indeed it does- "strange" does not even begin to describe it. I have been here for quite a while and this place still manages to surprise me.

dictated

[pompous_today]

I am glad to hear it, Lady Galadriel- and also appreciate the offer. That is one thing I am unable to help with.

dictated;

[raisingdad]

Do you mind if I ask what sorts of things? Could you give me examples? Maybe of things that have happened to you?

[If he's ok talking about it. But Alexis is very curious to learn exactly what she's dealing with here.]

dictated;

[pompous_today]

I do not mind in the slightest, but, oh, where to begin... there was that time all of us were transported to an island where there were still living dinosaurs.

dictated;

[raisingdad]

... Wow. Not sure if my dad was here during that but he probably freaked out. Of happiness, I mean.

[teenagebadboy]

All right, then sign me up.

[pompous_today]

I will, then- what's your name?

[pompous_today]

It was interesting at first... but, perhaps inevitably, they began to see people as food. Nobody actually got eaten, if I remember correctly, at least.

[teenagebadboy]

Soz. My name's Aaron Livesy.

[raisingdad]

Yeah that makes sense. Dinosaurs aren't exactly cuddly.

Basically working in the clinic here means that a person has to be up for just about anything.

[inafadingcrown]

So I imagine. When I first came here, I was stunned by the existence of electric lights; I can scarcely picture the sort of environment to which you must be accustomed. [She's seen enough of the medical tech to know it's...more than a bit beyond her.]
