[spicehill]

he takes a long look around the office as the eccentric man barks orders -- and assigns them nicknames --- and ultimately decides, after a few short minutes, that this is little more than the den of a madman proclaiming to be a medical professional when he had no such qualifications... or, worse, had acquired them once long ago, and now needed them revoked. a mutter to himself tries to recall what little he knew about this place, and a potential explanation for such irreverent behavior. "average livespan of species in teyvat... can't be that old, can he?..." but with a shake of head and clearer voice, jiaoqiu smiles politely to the doctor. "afraid it's unreasonable to ask us to commit to a week of work for you this early in the hiring process, doctor. what exactly is the board demanding of you that you cannot accomplish alone? besides, I'm also in medicine, and have my own patient to return to at some point..." jiaoqiu's voice trails off -- and yet, he picks up a file to start diligently looking through.

it only takes a few minutes more to confirm that the notes contained inside the file are almost completely incoherent, or full of misguided medical practices when they can be made sense of. a few files in particular are set aside as he fingers through them, and jiaoqiu calls back across the room to confirm that what he's reading is correct.

"you've been treating a patient with chronic fatigue and lightheadedness with little more than crushed mint flower and cardamom tea? for ten years? has it not occurred to you that this patient is also exhibiting telltale traits of anemia and likely needs more meat in their diet...?" the file in question he's reading out of is set down on a cluttered table, and he picks up the next he has concerns about. "another one you list here has struggled with passing stools for six months. your recommendation includes... a strange concoction of magnesium supplements, boar bone marrow, and mushroom tea? do you treat everything with tea? fiber, doctor... your patient needs leafy greens and to drink extra water, maybe take some additional probiotics. why have so many strange experimental treatments for ailments with long-identified solutions?"

as he looks across the office, the man in question does little more than wave his hand over his shoulder in a very shut up already manner, "what are you, some old school nurse? no innovation can come from using these treatments you've suggested."
