Patient: Human, female, adult
Symptoms: Brokenleg
Treatment: Wax plaster and cradle
Meeting: -
A child knocked on my door in the late afternoon. She insisted that I would follow her, that someone was being "silly". Children have simple minds, they are unable to understand certain things. I arrived to find a woman with a broken leg, only supported by a splint. I insisted to take her into my care. With the aid of mister Zeylheim and another neighbor, we've brought her to the infirmary. The leg has been readjusted, plastered and should be able to rest still while it heals in the coming weeks. Thankfully, I didn't have to explain death to a child this day.

I was intrigued to find that a note had been slipped under my door or rather, a napkin. It was a request from a mister Bíld, son of Vald, to learn from me.
Later, after I gave my response, he arrived and to my surprise, he's of dwarven blood. I spoke with him and learned of his reasons for taking interest in the practice, and have agreed to allow him to work beside me.
He's warned me that a company will come to fetch him at some point in the future. I am hesitant to title him an apprentice, for that fact. Even so, I will use this opportunity to learn more about his kin and he'll be of great help should any dwarf come in here in need of care.
I've found a book that I'll give to him, so that he may keep notes. I'll have to speak to him about the tailor the next time he comes.

I've spoken with miss Silver. A strange woman but of interest, none of the less. At our first meeting, I examined her head after conversing with her a short while. By her strange choice of words and thoughts, I figured that she might have struck her head in the fall. It wasn't so.
She has a curious talent for reading people. It was fascinating to listen to when she played her game against me. Maybe I am easy to read?
She tells me that her work involves translations. An agreement has been struck, she will translate some of my manuscripts and I, in turn, will lower the over all cost of her treatment.
The coming days are going to be far more interesting than I had expected.
