Physician

Description: As towns grow to become cities, the need for professional health care increases accordingly. In a city, referring to the local homeopath with old wisdom is no longer a practical alternative, especially with the new diseases plague the urban population. A new kind of healer is needed, with documented expertise, clinical mind and all-round knowledge of the ailments and treatments of the body.

Qualifications: As a healer, you need to have a passion for curing the ill, to heal the wounded, to make people feel and become better. The job, though well paid, can be ungrateful at times, and only a burning desire to help people can keep you up. Second, you need to be well-read, with a clinical and sharp mind, being able to accurately diagnose a problem. Third, people skills come in very handy. Descendants of herbivores have a natural advantage in this profession, as they have in general better knowledge of herbs and lack the kill-eat instinct that makes it so difficult for carnivores to stay clinically aloof.
Applies to:
Literacy: To gain the wisdom and knowledge about your field, you must study
Herbalism: Diseases can be cured with potions, especially from Placebo Herbialis
First Aid: Quickly treating little injuries and minor ailments
Medicine: Some patients are in need of specialist care, which you must give them

Other: Physicians often make sure that they have good relations with nearby apothecaries, both for quick access to hard-to-find potions, and for an exchange of knowledge. As a side issue, this also helps both parties economically.
