Stitches
Small Surgical Shop/Misa Gilmore,
Owner/Strong Bias Against Trolls
If you wind up in Stitches, you have
definitely screwed up somewhere along the line. Stitches is dirty, rat
infested, germ laden, repulsive, nasty, ugly and there aren't any decent
magazines in the waiting room. The up side: It's really, really cheap.
Perhaps a bit too cheap. Definitely too cheap. Because when you have
someone offering you medical services at below cost, you have to wonder where
they're getting their medical supplies.
Misa Gilmore
Archetype: Human Doctor
A repulsive, smelly, toothless woman,
Misa graduated from a small medical college in Grenada, and was immediately
asked to leave the island. Some believe they allowed her to graduate
simply to get her off the island. In any case, Misa is a miserable
money miser which is the primary reason she hates trolls ("You gotta use more
supplies and whatnot on 'em"). Misa smokes while doing surgery, sleeps in
the clinic bathroom and often drinks herself into white trash oblivion at the
local Super Low Class Drink N' Puke.
Don's Doctoring
Small Surgical Shop/Donald Bellman,
Owner/Strong Bias Against Cybered Persons
Don's Doctoring is well liked – and
simultaneously disliked – for working exclusively on noncybered patients.
It is also well known that magicians can go to Don's to receive the extra
delicate care their systems require. The fees at Don's are rather high,
but considering the amount of time he spends with each individual patient, the
hour for hour rate of care calculates out to be rather low.
Don The Doc
Archetype: Dwarf Doctor
A graduate of Harvard Medical, Don
turned to street medicine after he was saved from a Street Sam instigated death
by a homeless man (who was subsequently executed by the Sammy). His Sammy
experience has left behind a strong distaste for cybernetically enhanced
persons, a bias that may eventually get him killed if he continues to turn away
injured people of that type. A somber individual with graying hair and a
long white beard, Don will often help out injured squatters for free. |
