Reconstruction of the New Reza clinic, completed in 1748

[[Shaders used: BSL Shaders]]

 

Having been named after the Patron Saint of passion and service, the remade clinic of New Reza shall move forth in its steps to uphold such symbols of the revered Saint of Cordoba.  The former clinic had fallen into a state of stagnancy, which has left the usage of medicines and the need for physicians to be forgotten in the royal capital. 

 

The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska is a strong-standing kingdom, with hardy warriors and bright-minded citizens; however, there has been a fault within our very own foundations; which was not taking our own lead in heading the education and nurturing of our people.  It is time for the Hanseti people to step up and care for ourselves.  

 

The goals of Saint Michael’s Clinic is to educate and stand ready to tend to any ailed citizen that comes our way.  With these goals in mind, the clinic will be creating essays and books on varying herbs, medical practices, and instructions on preparing minor remedies.  Additionally, apprenticeships will be offered and private lessons shall be held to further educate and better develop aspiring physicians. [Note: There may be a limit to how many apprentices are taken in at a time, depending on the availability of experienced staff.] 

 

OOC Commentary:

I would put this in a spoiler, but I hate the white background for spoilers.

 

For around the four or so years that I have been on this server, I have always loved doing alchemy/herb/medic RP.  I remember my friend Shannon and I working together to teach ourselves about the various herbs on the server, or trying to figure out how to make certain potions.  I remember teaching myself medieval practices in treating injuries, or trying to figure out how certain plant-types were used traditionally in order to make medicines, and then incorporating that into my roleplay with the herbs on LotC.

 

I’ve always had the most fun in doing that sort of roleplay, though I’ve realized some time ago that I had a flaw in my RP; a flaw that I’ve realized that many people have in their RP.  That flaw is always having your character be able to save your patient, no matter the severity of their injury. Yes, a lot of that was allowed due to the powerful traits of the old potions from alchemy, though it is an issue that still exists.

 

The flaw extends out to other forms of RP; not many people are interested in having their characters lose, and not many people are wanting their characters to experience conflict.  But that is how stories are made - they are fueled by conflict.  Star Wars would have never happened if the Sith didn’t cause issues; Lord of the Rings would have been dull of Sauron wasn’t wanting to enslave everyone.

 

So, with this clinic, I want to try and encourage those RPing around it to allow their characters to struggle and to work with others in developing stories with each other, rather than trying to have the, “I win, you lose” scenario.

Edyth smiles at the announcement, though deciding clinic work was no longer for her, putting her medic supplies bag away. ”Unfortunate. I hope Doctor Avern is well.”

Maya Valeriya peered over the missive regarding the Saint Michael’s Clinic. Having earlier been accepted for apprenticeship, she was eager to begin her training. “Lady Chesna will certainly do well in this position, and I cannot wait to see everything she does for Haense with the clinic. The renovations she has already done are beautiful, unquestionably. There is no doubt in my mind that she will achieve many great things as the surgeon general.”
