i just had this thought after watching one too many medical dramas, how are hospitals going to change after ghoul legalization? how many doctor will turn up all of a sudden being ghouls? will ghouls only be allowed to treat ghouls and humans only be allowed to treat human? and will the medical field evolve for the better for both humans and ghouls?
GHOULS IN HEALTHCARE
Medical care is not something most ghouls had access to, and ghouls aren’t something most doctors considered before, but after legalization and the promise made that ghouls would be given access to doctors, the need arose. It was a big shake up of the system, doctors pushing back against the idea of retraining, a lack of a plan for how to go about getting ghouls into hospitals, and even the common argument that ghouls should go the a vet instead. To try to handle this, former CCG ghouls researchers were offered positions in hospitals as the closest thing there is to a ghoul specialist. Between their knowledge of ghouls and doctor’s knowledge of medicine, the early access ghouls got was shoddy, not well researched, and often fraught with mistreatment and neglect
It got better as more ghouls came out, and the previous few ghouls who managed to become doctors became highly sought both as practitioners and for teaching medical students and leading studies. Humans making a big stand about refusing to be treated by a ghoul doctor we’re just loud and obnoxious because the ghoul doctors they’re oh so adamant about rejecting are way too busy founding a new branch of medicine
A lot of things had to be tested and researched. For the first time there’s ghouls that need prescriptions and treatments and they’re really trying to figure out what medicines in what doses work. Most ghouls make a few extra bucks here and there from studies desperate for a ghoul to take some pills and report results
The advancements in medical technology they got from ghouls were immense. Previously terminal diseases are getting treatments using ghoul rc cells. Previously irreversible chronic illnesses and injuries are making incremental progress for the better and increasing quality of life. Even organ donation is better. It turns out that if a ghoul with low enough rc donates a kidney or lung to a human who’s okay with a lifetime of rc supplements, it works just fine, and there’s ghouls now who’s whole job is just being an organ farm with a salary and benefits
Half-ghoul surgery becomes a rare, but lifesaving procedure. It took a long time for it to be okayed on human trials after the studies on the quinx and artificial ghouls came out to the horror of the entire medical community, but in some cases of extreme disfigurement and injury, if there’s a donor kakuhou available they can implant it. It’s a heavily regulated and closely monitored procedure, but a human who’s lost a significant portion of their body can be saved by the process of becoming na artificial ghoul, regenerate most of what they lost, then be given the treatment to remove the need for human flesh
Over time, more ghouls are going into the medical field, and when the original uproar from people upset at having to entrust their health to their predators died down, it became clear that they make great doctors. They can sniff out a lot of infection or diseases. They can smell blood and bile on someone’s breath. They can utilize adaptations meant for hunting humans to diagnose them and, when in an emergency, they tend to have no problems sticking their hands into a mess of a body. Many ghouls are sought out as emts and paramedics for that ability to sniff out blood and lack of disgust response when it comes to the nasty side of saving lives

yes?? the ''thats only a fraction of an ambulance attendant’s income'' makes sense yeah obv not the outrageously expensive ride but as an american that just makes sense to me idk
so you’re telling me americans pay upwards of 5 thousand dollars on an ambulance but that’s only a FRACTION of an ambulance attendant’s income????
#also u have to take into consideration the salaries of the emts the cost of the vehicle (incl car insurance im sure) and the cost of the#medical equipment inside so its a LOT#also only slightly related but yeah american healthcare sucks ass i remember when i was in the hospital my parents were talking about#how much my stay was going to cost them (they have good insurance tho so idk if it was rly *that* expensive) and i felt so bad

Before Government decides to defund them because they "don't have the money" ...
Hug a firefighter, police officer, EMT and first responder ...
... and say "THANK YOU" ...
(Notice that government people always have enough for their salaries and new raises for themselves)
(Strange ain't it)

Ukyo's Salary
I got a question from @kazutxra on Twitter about Ukyo's salary, so let's calculate:
Ukyo works for the JSDF, which pays very little for a military job compared to places like the US. As such, I believe you're correct in thinking that he has two jobs (rather than the disaster relief being part of the military) because he's probably not making a lot of money.
Assuming Ukyo has passed basic training and is considered an SDF cadet for life, his monthly pay is ¥169,900. Over the whole year, this should be ¥2,038,800, or USD$18,557.
For a rescue worker in Japan, assuming Ukyo has <1 year of experience and is certified as an EMT (=a requirement for the actual job rather than a volunteer), the yearly salary is ¥2,888,746. Assuming Ukyo can only work one day on the weekend, 2,888,746 * 1/7 = 412,678, or $3,755.
A total of ¥2,451,478 ($22,312) is not a lot of money, so let's assume Ukyo also finds time to babysit for an average of 4 hours a week. Taking the higher end of the average babysitter salary, we get ¥3,000452 = ¥624,000, or $5,677, bringing his total to ¥3,075,478 or $27,989.
This is slightly below average for Japanese salaries, but the numbers vary a lot depending on whether or not you're in Tokyo, your age, and your gender.
Basically, the intense work in the Kingdom of Science is nothing compared to what Ukyo likely had to deal with.

I’m sad about lone star not coming back until fall 2024 so to make myself feel better here are some things I’ve learned from working out of an EMS station for the last three months:
Also, this is only for NY. Every STATION is different let alone every city/state.
1. There is a house fund that you pretty much have to pay into every month (ours is $20). It goes to our snack drawer/birthday things/etc. Like, you could not pay in but you WOULD be side-eyed. Hard. There are usually separate less intense funds like for nice bathroom stuff.
2. In NY EMS is mostly separate from Fire. This is because EMS only recently came under FNDY. Until I think the 90s? EMS was a part of our city hospital system. So EMS has many separate stations from FDNY. And there is 100% a rivalry (possibly one sided)
3. Not a fun rivalry either…let’s just say EMS is incredibly diverse compared to Fire. And are payed like shit in comparison. And do more work. Anyway, I remember being shocked walking into orientation that first day.
4. Getting into FDNY is wild bc there is a waitlist and it could take YEARS for your name to come up. Like people fully have other careers while they wait. And before that you have to take the exam which usually only comes around like every 4-5 years (just checked and last one was 2017!!) Also, TK must have either had some college credits or worked a different job for like 6 months at LEAST in order to be eligible. And have been 21. ALSO….the boy would have been doing well salary-wise after 5 years. FYI. Also, you can be a Fire Cadet at 18 but my personal headcanon is that he worked as an EMT first because the path to firefighter is easier/faster that way.
This is so fun to use all my work knowledge to inform fandom stuff! I’m gonna keep adding to this. This is for me but if anyone has questions I’m happy to answer/add here!

A new position for FDNY emergency medical technicians looking for a bump in rank and pay is sparking a disagreement between the two unions that fight for the rights of EMS employees.
More than 1,500 city EMTs have already signed up to take the test for the new “Supervising Emergency Medical Service Specialist” position — or EMT sergeant — which comes with an increased salary, department officials said.
The union representing rank-and-file EMTs is excited about the new rung on the FDNY’s promotion ladder.
But members of the officer’s union see the sergeant’s job as a way for the city to get EMS lieutenants on the cheap. The Uniformed EMS Officers Union says the sergeant position would pay less than the lieutenants position, even though it would carry the same responsibilities.

I uh…accidentally went wild on this one 😅 Having worked in the field, I can say most of this would never happen (but unfortunately not the costs info, depending on the drug), but it was fun to write anyway
Once upon a time, you wanted to be a research scientist. Not a doctor, as your parents had hoped (a brief stint as a junior EMT had helped you with that decision), but something medical where you might be able to help somebody. You were only two years in when everything fell apart. Cancer took your father early, and stress made a shell out of your mother, finally taking her a year later. Student loans kept you in school, but they weren’t a joke, and suddenly all that mattered was graduating on time with a workable degree that would get you a salary immediately. Failing Orgo 1 a second time made it all the more urgent.
The communications school was always accepting students from other majors. They even accepted all your current class credits.
It was an easy call.
Several years later found you languishing at a desk job. With your (limited) chem background and handful of summer internships, the pharmaceutical advertising agencies had snapped you right up. It was interesting work, and it paid the bills, but there were only so many ways to market oncology drugs without getting demoralized.
Coffee in the morning and wine in the evening helped. And the bonus you got every January for growing the agency’s contract with your client certainly never hurt.
You were in the middle of trying to grow that business right now, in fact.
“How long until we get the first shots back for review?” your client asked.
You bit back the urge to snap that you were literally still at the photoshoot, weren’t you? and gave them a well-rehearsed sympathetic look instead. “I know there’s a lot of pressure for the new campaign, and we’ll get you the initial shot list as quickly as we can. I can’t know for sure until the creative team takes a look, but probably Wednesday.”
“Wednesday!” Your client took a breath and ran a nervous hand through their hair. “Wednesday. Okay.” They took another breath. You could see how hard they were trying to control themselves. Seemed like the feedback your boss gave on their temper during last month’s review was having an effect. You wondered how long that effect would last. “Okay. But if you have a working shot list earlier than that and want to send it my way, just between the two of us, I’d be happy to give early input.”
You smiled easily and unfeelingly. “Of course. If I get a working list,” which you would, “then I’ll pass it over,” which you wouldn’t. Well, maybe a few photos that you knew would be favorites. But the timeline was already crunched and the creatives didn’t need to worry about an extra round of feedback to incorporate.
You looked at the executive team posing in front of the company logo and bitterly wondered what they were expected to turn around by Wednesday.
“You’re still planning to take some shots in the lab, right?” your client probed, cutting in on the thought.
“I saw you approved the budget. Did you also get the permissions?” You looked at your client when they didn’t answer right away. They were on their phone, probably checking to see if the lab manager had responded. Seemed a bit late to be doing that, but they controlled the money so you didn’t comment.
Your client looked up at the ceiling and sighed. No permissions, then. Cool.
“Look, forget about the permissions,” they eventually said. “The revenue tied to our campaign last year made this year’s research budget, so I’m giving you my permission.” You were pretty sure it didn’t work that way but, well…small pharma companies worked fast and loose compared to more established ones, and it would be on your client if anything went wrong. Plus, you really didn’t want to sacrifice this year’s bonus.
“Can you send that to me in writing?”
Your client was tap-tapping away on their phone even as you spoke. Yours buzzed in your back pocket. New email.
“Done,” your client said.
They led you up three flights of stairs to a glass cube containing more glass cubes all sitting in the middle of an empty floor. It was very futuristic looking, like a lab built expressly to impress investors and management.
The photographer ate it up, and you had to admit the first shots through the outer walls were already looking promising. And the next set of shots from inside the lab were even better. So what if you had to wear some protective suit that wrinkled your new blazer all while suffering frustrated side glances from the bothered scientists? You’d be out of there soon enough.
“How about a shot of the new manufacturing array?” your client asked, pointing through a locked door. “It’s in the inner room.”
You tried to peer into the room but strange disks embedded in the semi-transparent walls obstructed your view. Even so, you could make out the vague silhouettes of researchers bent over their tables and the slow moving mechanical arms they controlled, but could see nothing of what they were manipulating. “Can we really go in there?”
“Absolutely. The new corporate campaign needs to be striking. Completely different. We need shots of the array.”
You shrugged. “Sounds good.”
But it wasn’t good. You had been in the industry long enough to know that, though it was easy to ignore when the reward was high. And when your client was so practiced at making the alternative unpleasant. Purposely forgetting everything outside driving results for analytics reports and budget meetings had become second nature. It was survival. But reality didn’t forget. Diseases didn’t grow content. Nature, true nature, didn’t discriminate. A body was a body was a body.
The mistake was a simple one. A hand on the wrong surface at the wrong time, a delayed reaction, a broken vial. Easily understood, and unforgiving all the same.
You woke up in the hospital. First, the nurses and doctors came to talk to you. Then some executives came. Then the lawyers.
Your photographer was dead. Your client was dead. The scientists who had been working the inner room were all dead.
But you? You were healthier than you ever had been. Supposedly because of your smaller frame or something to do with genetics—or was it a combination of the two? They weren’t sure—the concentration of the aerosolized therapy was sufficient to overpower your body’s immediate immune response.
Your earring holes had healed. You had grown back your appendix. The scars on your knees from years of soccer were gone.
They wanted you to sign a contract and promised to keep the police out of it. After all, the deaths had already been ruled accidental and the company executives had been advised on a settlement cost, so no one had to be blamed. It could be written off as an unfortunate tragedy and nice company tax break... provided you cooperated. And there would be benefits if you did, of course.
You had a bachelors degree, a used Honda civic, a rented 2nd story one-bedroom, and a handful of plants. You had no close family left, no kids. No pets since Marshmallow, and that was back in high school. Your boss would wonder what exactly had happened, but that was easily handled. And maybe the guy you had been seeing would, too, though the way you left it after last week’s disaster of a date, maybe he wouldn’t.
There was no one to fight for you. And, honestly, not much to fight for.
It was an easy call.
Cooperation turned out to mean moving into a very nice apartment in their on-site facility, maxing out your disability time, and then quitting your job, all under the advice of the company lawyers. You went in for weekly blood tests and tissue samples, and took whatever pills they handed you, but you received a nice monthly stipend and endless amenities. It was all worth it, according to the executives. A very neat and mutually beneficial contract, as stated by the lawyers.
During your weekly exams, you tried to be unaffected by the looks the treatment team shot at you. They hadn’t worked closely with any of the researchers that died, but they still seemed to have opinions about it. In your free time, you worked hard to ignore what felt like constant buzzing under your skin and slept fitfully in an unfamiliar bed with overly starched sheets. You didn’t have to worry about accidentally cutting yourself with kitchen knives or careless burns from the curling iron anymore, but you cooked less and less and never dressed up. There didn’t seem to be any point.
Within a few months, their research had been launched forward by a decade. Before you had even adjusted to your new reality (unending guilt and isolation, no longer needing to wear contacts) they were already moving the therapy into clinical trials.
The first time you met one of the patients, a trial participant, willing and desperate and considering themselves so lucky, you felt like maybe there was a point after all.
She wasn’t much older than you, but she had a family and she wanted to live. And when she learned about your role in the study, she hugged you and thanked you profusely. Her gratitude felt unearned. And it didn’t seem right that you would live, and she wouldn’t, unless she received the treatment (“Your treatment,” she had called it). If she received it. And if it took, rewiring her immune cells and fibroblasts and everything else just like the researchers (who were left) thought it would. And it did take, for the participants who ended up in the right trial arm. It took quickly, too, within days.
But not for that young mother, apparently. Two weeks later, she was still coming in for tests. And she didn’t improve. And, eventually, she was admitted.
You spent more time together after that. As you got to know each other, you worked up the courage to ask if she had been in the control arm. She gave you a weak smile.
“Nope. I was one of the lucky ones. Just not lucky enough. I’m too far along for the treatment to work, they think. If it were years down the line, after a few more trials, when they get the concentration right, closer to how it is in your body…then maybe it would work for someone like me. But who has that kind of time?” She laughed. You didn’t.
“It’s ok,” she said, comforting you and wasn’t that strange. “Really. Maybe just by being in the study, I’ll have helped them make a better treatment. Maybe in a few years, it really will work for someone like me, because of me. That’s not so bad.”
But it felt hollow. It felt like somewhere someone had messed up, switched your fates. If only you could have given her your healing ability. If only they could match the concentration of the treatment to what was in your own body. The thought gnawed at you.
It wasn’t an easy call. It felt right, though. Or, you thought it did, at the time.
It had been years since your EMT days, but you started to pay attention during your usual blood draws. You asked more questions. You watched when they swapped out your friend’s empty blood bags, trying to fight the ongoing bleeds as her body slowly shut down.
You waited until you felt something close to confident, and slipped in at midnight. Nursing staff was minimal. The physicians were on home call, disturbed only in emergencies. You had your own pass. You were there all the time, after all. You were under contract.
Your friend’s room was dark but she knew it was you immediately. “I can’t,” she said, when you made the offer. “Okay, I can,” she relented, when you reminded her that her daughter’s graduation was coming up.
The needles slid in with almost no resistance. Within minutes, it was all set up. Your blood came flooding out, and her body eagerly accepted it. It was fine. It was right, you told yourself. And not a bad way to go, if that’s what it came to.
You woke up in the hospital. First, the nurses and doctors came to talk to you. Then some executives. Then the lawyers.
She was dead. You weren’t. After almost bleeding out, your body repaired the needle hole and replenished itself. Your friend’s body went wild in its immune response, something the doctors called a cytokine storm. Your healing factor hadn’t been enough, not at the concentration they found in her body, not at your relative sizes.
The idea had some merit, but she was going to die anyway, your usual doctor whispered to you as you sobbed into a scratchy hospital pillow. But it had been recklessly done. Unthinking, unstudied. He looked at you hard as your breath came out ragged. Maybe if she had been smaller…he trailed off, finished checking your vitals, and left. When you finally gathered the strength to sit up, you saw he had left a jello cup on your bedside table. It was red. You liked red.
When the lawyers came back the next morning it was with the executives. That was new. It turned out to also be bad. Someone had talked to the media and you were going to be transferred into government care. What did that mean? No one knew, but it was all over the news. The truth about the freak accident at the lab, the freak lady who wouldn’t die, the company executives’ freakish decision to conceal deaths and progress and money.
Your doctor came by again later to check on you. He left another jello cup.
They’re sending you to the military. Get out, read a piece of paper folded beneath it.
Midnight, and the hospital was a skeleton crew. You didn’t have a pass anymore but it didn’t matter. You opened your room window. Below you was the back alley between the old main building you were in and the newer outpatient center. It was dark in the space between, secluded, with only a dumpster. You were pretty sure you could line yourself up right.
Even if you couldn’t, it was still an easy call.
You jumped.
You are a supervillain with healing powers. The only reason you are labelled a supervillain because the American healthcare system is intimidated by you.

Journal Entry: 10/02/2024
Morning Exhaustion & Teamlet #2 Meeting: I woke up at 7:55 a.m., just in time for the 8 a.m. Teamlet #2 meeting. I felt like shit, honestly—completely exhausted. I attended the meeting while lying in bed, barely keeping my eyes open. Somehow, I managed to take notes, even though I was just laying there. DMH led the meeting, so I didn’t have to engage too much. Afterward, instead of getting up, I started catching up on emails. I’m still waiting for the DMH MCWs and CHWs to do their referrals, so I feel stuck until they get to it.
Low Motivation & KFC Leftovers: I skipped breakfast and grabbed some leftover KFC from yesterday along with a Red Bull. It’s hard to motivate myself to do anything these days. I feel like crap most of the time, but I still managed to help out with answering questions from the RNs and OTs, following up with them on different issues. One funny moment was when Kaci asked why I wasn’t in the office, to which I responded with some sass: “You miss me already? Smh.” She apparently couldn’t stop laughing and explained she was in the office because her afternoon visit was a no-show, so she stayed to get some charting done.
Paperwork & PulsePoint Incident: Later, I grabbed the apostilled paperwork from the Secretary of State and gave it to my aunt so she could mail it to the Philippines. While I was outside, I noticed an LA County Fire truck nearby, and my nosy self couldn’t resist checking the PulsePoint app to see what was going on.
(PulsePoint is an app that allows users to monitor emergency activity in their area. It tracks medical emergencies, fires, and other incidents. It’s also used by first responders and nearby civilians who might be able to assist before official help arrives. Sometimes, it even shows when APRUs (Advanced Provider Response Units) are deployed, which consist of a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant and a firefighter paramedic who provide on-site care to prevent unnecessary ER visits.)
Turns out, there was an APRU deployed, but it wasn’t an urgent situation, so I just went back to minding my own business.
Debrief, Banter, & Upcoming Departure: The 3:30 p.m. debrief went smoothly as my boss Vanessa (the NP, not the OT) led the discussion for Team 2. The EMT gang started asking if I had already told my supervisors (Julia RN, Elisa RN, Vanessa NP, and Lauren OT) that I’d be leaving soon. I told them I had, and of course, the bittersweet comments started: “STAY, PLEASE!” I joked back that I’d rather be making $65/hr as a police officer than staying here for $22/hr. We all laughed about it and joked about county salaries—definitely a moment of levity.
Park Ranger Opportunity & Thoughts of Nessa: After the meeting, I checked my phone and saw an offer from LA City to take the Park Ranger test, which is a law enforcement role. I wasn’t sure if I should go for it, so I shrugged it off for now. I also saw the last conversation with Nessa still on my mind. I’ve been thinking about asking her to grab coffee sometime and chat. She has an interesting background, and I’d love to learn more about her. Not in a creepy way—I just find her story compelling.
Dinner, Errands, & a Curious Encounter: In the evening, I defrosted some meat and cooked dinner for myself and my siblings. After that, I ran some errands at a nearby Mexican market. There, I had a strange yet intriguing encounter with the cashier. We locked eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel like we’d met before. She was attractive, with circular glasses, tree tattoos on her right arm, and plenty of rings. She looked like a mix of Hispanic and white, about my height (I’m 5'11"). This wasn’t the first time we’d exchanged smiles, and it left me feeling curious but confused. I brushed it off, though—I don’t have game like that.
Late Night Anxiety & Reflection: After dinner, I pushed myself to finish some referrals because my anxiety was nagging at me. It’s now almost 11 p.m., and I’ve taken melatonin to try to sleep. I’m debating whether I should head into the office tomorrow instead of procrastinating at home. I know I need to get out of the house—this depression is weighing on me, and staying home only makes it worse. I’ve got to do something different soon.
