The Doctor is in

Didn't you miss me?!

Awh. You should always take a break once in a while, Doctor! We all need one! :D Maybe I’ll take you on one one day!

#and that's all that needs said #cheers

That's unheard of.. me taking a break! Ha ha ha.

Anyway, how are you, Adelaide? Get anything special at the Caribbean?

Had the oddest experience the other day.

No, no. Just.. odd. It was a remote control car. It was just sitting on the counter of the bar. I asked where it came from, but none of the customers owned up to it.

I might just sell it if no one comes to claim it in a few days..

#ooc: off to bed. g'night~

That is odd.. Maybe someone drunkly left it there and forgot they had it to begin with. Who knows.

Well, I'll take it off your hands for you. I'm sure one of my patient's has a child that would enjoy it. And if not, then.. well.. I guess I could be easily amused by it whenever I'm not doing anything in the Estate. It can get a tad boring from time to time. I'm sure you understand and are reserving judgement on a man that just said he'd play with a remote control car.

You are truly a good man, Doc. And I’ve been good. Keeping busy at the bar trying to beat away the creeper peepers with a stick. I did get the weirdest present from someone yesterday, though.

Oh, you're too kind. I'm just doing what I can. A present? Not from a creeper peeper, I hope. That'd be extremely unpleasant... I get the shivers just thinking about it. Nothing horrible, is it?

I don’t know much ‘bout bones, doc, but I know I find this “interestingly shaped bone” very attractive. Excuse me, too much information?

Well, not really. I’ve met Jenny, Elise and you. (Is it okay if I call you by your first name?) How many people are currently in the house?

Collar bones are definitely an attractive feature. I have to agree with you there, Jack.

Of course, call me Richard. No need to be formal here. But it's just as well, people like to refer to me as the Doctor. I'm kind of used to it. Well, there's James, Lucas, and Anna. There's more people coming, too. And of course the townspeople.. you'll be well acquainted with them in no time.

How can one break the clavicle? Strange indeed.

#medical facts #ooc: yay ossification

It actually isn't as uncommon as everyone thinks. It's still forming throughout the teenage years, so children are more prone to the fracture more than others. It's an interestingly shaped bone, so the middle of it is quite fragile and a nice great fall to the shoulder or upper body can usually do you in.

So, how are you liking the estate so far? I see you've met some of our housemates.

The clavicle, or collar bone, is unique in many ways. It is the only horizontal long bone, and it is the last bone in your body to completely form; it takes a full 25 years.

I had a patient last year who fractured their clavicle. It wasn't pretty.

Didn't you miss me?!

Too bad that long list of boys all had to be rejected. A dance versus a spa get away? I think we all know the answer to that one!

Of course. It sounds lovely. I hear my patients talk about how they need one all the time. Sadly I can't prescribe a day at the spa, to the disappointment of everyone... Including myself.

Had the oddest experience the other day.

Have you? Oh, that’s good to hear. But really, we should pay you. I don’t like the idea of owing something to people.

Next session you have with him, let me know and I’ll meet to reimburse you. ‘Kay?

#ooc: i'm sick and sleepy forgive me

Oh no, really, Blaire, it's fine. It's something I wanted to do for you. Don't worry about it.

How have you been, though? What's new?

Had the oddest experience the other day.

But I’m not complaining. At least I got something interesting out of it!

#the doctor is intrigued by said odd experience

Blaire, how are you? I've been keeping in contact with your father, and it reminds me every day that I should come and catch up with you.

Hmm..

Where to start, what to do...

#the doctor contemplates his options

Didn't you miss me?!

Well, I’m sure most of you did. If you didn’t then how would you explain the loads of messages I got from you guys?!

Last weekend was winter formal at my high school. I was going to go, I had a dress picked out and everything. It was gorgeous. Green slip and black lace on top? It was divine! Plus those emerald pumps! Buuuutt, my mother surprised me with a trip to the Caribbean!! Fue hermosoooooo! We went tanning out on the beach, went to the spa! Ah! Don’t deny it, I know you are all jealous. Maybe next time I’ll take you all! If you’re lucky enough ;)

Anyways, although I missed my school dance, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of opportunities to have that “high school” experience. But instead of going to a grimy dance to get felt all up, I’m ready for my close up! With this tanned skin and perfectly manicured nails, I can’t wait to strut it out tomorrow at school.

#ooc: 330 dollar a&p book ahoy!#ooc: college woes #ooc: would actually motivate me to look at this book #medical facts

Your dress sounds like it would have been stunning. Green is my favorite color. Plus with that hair? You would have had high school boys falling all over you.

The heart's apex points inferiorly toward the left hip. If you press your fingers between the fifth and sixth ribs just below the left nipple, you can easily feel the apical impulse.

Entertaining the idea of posting a medical fact per day or week, or something. Anyone interested? I'm not even sure I care. I find it interesting, at least.

I’m sorry, mate. Sorry. I don’t mean to laugh, but the soul whisperer bit…

Nahh, but really. Made me feel a bit better—I was down without realizing it. So thank you. Now ‘bout you, mate—maybe you heal more than just … physique. You see?

I know. I meant for it to lighten up my seriousness. But you're welcome anyway.

Ohhh, no, no. I exclusively heal physique. And I'm okay with that. It's enough for me, y'know? The only thing I consider myself great at. It helps that it's a good profession in nearly every aspect.

But, we should definitely continue this another time, I'm nearly asleep! I'm surprised you haven't passed out either.

That’s admirable. Your job and all. I’d imagine it’s much more fulfilling than mine, so cheers to you.

I’ll be sure to remember that! I hope I can offer you the same—though I’m not sure I’ve got much to offer someone with a medical doctorate. It must be … gratifying? Being a doctor, yeah?

You shouldn't think that, James. You're famous for a reason. Someone is listening to your music right now, and maybe it's even saved their life. So I'm sure you've saved as many lives as I have, if not more.

People like to listen to music more than medical advice, trust me. Music speaks to the soul. You're a soul whisperer.

Contrary to what may be said ‘bout me, I am not a man of self-afflicted ailments. But I believe you—the sterile white walls are summat I ‘ave not seen, and do not plan to.

Well, my door is just a few away, mate. Give a knock, and we can… talk. Hah.
