Who: Stephen Strange & Emily Dyer
Username: strange, emilydyer
Warnings: None! Will add if necessary.
un: strange
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.
(( ooc: since this is a joint post, both Stephen and Emily will make appearances in the replies. ))

If you have the time, I’m pretty sure medical wouldn’t be opposed to an extra pair of hands now and again. Even if you don’t make it a permanent commitment, there’s always the opportunity to learn. You can shadow one of the nurses. Or I can offer advice now and then.
[He was never a nurse, never went to nursing school, exactly. But he’s well aware of the responsibilities, and even a fair amount of the practices when it comes to interacting with patients.]

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.

Trust is the main issue. I don’t blame them for being wary, but ADI at least is providing us the resources for medical aid in the first place. It’d be reckless to not take advantage of it.
no subject
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.

[ 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.
no subject
I’ve visited a few destroyed planets very far from Earth in my time. I’m sorry to hear about yours.
no subject
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.
no subject
[It’s unspoken (and certainly unwritten where ADI can see) that sometimes things aren’t so simple. But Stephen isn’t here to have that conversation.]
Anyway, whenever you decide to drop by, either via injury (hopefully not) or check-up, just do your best to inform us of the differences between human and Altean physiology. We’ll do our best with what we have to work with, and not without proper consultation.
Sorry I can’t offer much more than that.
