For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Doctor Stephen Strange. Back in my home universe, I once practiced as a neurosurgeon; here, I’m offering my experience as a doctor in ADI’s medical department. With that comes a variety of responsibilities, but also the obligation to make the occasional PSA. So, here goes:

I understand that not everyone is completely trusting of ADI, or agrees with their handling of any given situation. And I’m not here to convince you otherwise. Instead, I’m here to make sure everyone knows that the medical department always has its doors open to any who need it, regardless of your feelings on the organization. So please take advantage of that fact.

If you’re injured, or sick, or feel affected by anything odd or supernatural in this world, don’t hesitate to get yourself checked in. Your health is always of the utmost importance, and we’ll do what we can to take care of you. Remember: you can’t continue to investigate if you’re ill or otherwise incapacitated.

If you need to contact me personally, that’s always an option, too. Doctor Dyer is also available for the same services, and is just as competent — if not more so.

-Dr. Strange


un: emilydyer

Dr. Strange is being kindly flattering in regards to myself, but in regards to your health, he is absolutely correct. My name is Emily Dyer, and I'm operating as another physician in ADI's medical department, with my background best classified under general practice and community medicine.

Our allegiance, in the end, is not to those who've agreed to help ADI, but to anyone who is in need of a doctor's care. Wherever you come from, whatever your take on this entire predicament we find ourselves in, we wish only to aid and to be deserving of your trust.

This sentiment isn't limited to just us, but rather all of our colleagues as well. If you aren't able to come into the department, or an emergency has arisen, send us a message, and we'll come to you instead.

Additionally, I'd like to put forth a small secondary announcement. I've been working on a medicine to aid sleep and reduce nightmares, and at this stage, it's ready to be given to a larger group. I'd like to offer this out to those who'd wish to try it, with a request that you let me know how it works for you so that I can accurately calculate its efficacy as a remedy.

If you're concerned about what it's comprised of, it's based in herbology and natural sources instead of harsher synthetic chemicals, and I have been taking it myself, so you needn't feel there is a risk associated. At worst, it simply has a bitter taste, which can be improved on with time. Regardless, I realize that this will raise questions, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

-E.D.

Thank you for being so caring and understanding, doctors!

I've spent most of my time working in Research so far, but I have helped out in Medical when first aid was direly needed. I would love to learn more about nurse work, so if you need assistance for anything do not hesitate to call on me.


[ Romelle is definitely somebody who is put at ease by the reassurance that loyalty to ADI has nothing to do with the practice of tending to patience - but she wouldn't necessarily like to say so over the network. ]

I will certainly keep at it then! Job education doesn't really... exist in the form it does here, where I'm from, so the idea of 'shadowing' is new to me! It sounds incredibly helpful for learning to assist with more complex issues.

I think you have the right idea to make sure that everybody knows there are non-natives working in medical as well. I can think of many good reasons why one would not be comfortable having their body examined by core ADI workers.

That is true. At the same time, I have experience with being materially dependent on an entity who's motivations are unclear - so in a way it is this exact providing of resources, housing and work that makes me uneasy.

Though I have not found any reasonable alternative for it as of yet, especially not for those like myself who cannot quite pass as humans in the long run.

I'm Altean.

[ It still feels weird to just say it, as if it's nothing dangerous to be. She's gone her whole life being told that being Altean in the outside world would get her killed, but in this universe nobody has any reason to care. ]

I come from a destroyed planet that is very, very, very distant from Earth.

Thank you. Though I've never been there, my people are the displaced survivors.

Technically my species has shapeshifting at our disposal but it does not get rid of the major defining features and... well, I would have to feed an entity for it anyway, so it's not an option.
