Doctor
This occupation specializes in studying the
body and attempting to use that knowledge to help
other characters suffering form sickness or disease.
Very few doctors exist.
Most doctors specialize in their species, but
some doctors specialize in animals, and are called
veterinarians.
The trained doctor is an aristocrat of professionals,
enjoying high status and excellent fees.
A doctor’s practice is naturally confined to nobility
and royalty.
After a preliminary 3-year course, the prospective
doctor takes a 5-year course, followed by a
year’s internship with an experienced practitioner.
He is then allowed to take a formal examination. If
completed successfully, then he receives a license to
practice.
Medical education includes education about
the skills of Divination (Astrology) and Divination
(Numerology), and magic. Constellations and planets
are believed to preside over different parts of
the body. Numerology provides complicated guides
for the course of an illness. The body is believed to
have 4 humors and 3 spirits, all of which must be
checked by the examination of the urine and stool,
and by feeling the pulse. Adjustments are commonly
made by bloodletting, from the side of the body
opposite the site of the disease.
