I would like to say that the infirmary's rather admirable failure to engage with my social experiment was a result of good medical practice, but it seems far more likely that it was the result of rampant incompetence and a refusal to acknowledge inmate problems. Which makes me think of other issues I've long considered that the infirmary must have.
What is their medical standard of practice? Is it from the future? Is there any testing of doctors from the past or vastly different universes? I've never heard of any skill testing, if it exists. Let alone a comparison of cultural standards. I've never heard of any psychological testing, despite recent floods indicating that it's necessary. What I have seen is my own requests being ignored and the fact that most of what the infirmary does seems to be holding hands while people go through the death toll. Which is probably for the best, considering the complete lack of transparency regarding their practices and surgical standards. Additionally, I have no idea who assesses this. Is it the Admiral? The other wardens? The other doctors?
Furthermore, have the infirmary staff ever bothered to inquire into general well being of inmates around them? I heard of an inmate who was refused aspirin by his warden. Aspirin. Even by my own medical standards, that's a gross failure to address an issue and I fail to see the infirmary providing any alternatives for that sort of behavior.
[Added in later.] The aspirin example turned out to be false, thanks to my source. Consider it irrelevant information.
