[A calmer than normal voice (He's learned that it's not very comforting when patients hear a panicked squawk) floats out of the journal.]
Yes? How may I help, miss?
[He's glanced at the other journal responses. Taking a bit of comfort in the idea that there's another doctor to fix everything if Malkus screws up. Just in case, of course.]
[He bites his lip, immediately thinking about the type of infection that only recently was the cause of his gruesome death. No, it couldn't be that. Don't get so worked up over potentially nothing.]
Rather unpleasant if you continue to let them grow. Better to clean and drain the infected area quickly! A clean leech or small cut is all. Perhaps covering it in an herbal mix or cream would help.
[Yes, dear. Leeches.]
If you require assistance with any of that, please let me know.
Mhm! Why, yes! Nature's little miracle cure. One or two will not drain more than needed, of course! And even then, it's only the bad blood so there's absolutely no risks involved.
[Yes. Malkus found out the proper amount of leeches after MUCH trial and error and quite a bit of "Sorry"s "My bad"s and "I'm sorry your friend is a bloodless husk"s.]
[Malkus is still worrying about that infection. And oh god is it possible that he might have spread it somehow. If that's the case, he will never forgive himself AGAIN. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING.]
[THAT'S IT LADY. YOU. ME. OUTSIDE BY THE FLAG POLE. THREE O' CLOCK. Only not really, since a Plague Doctor is used to being belittled. Religious types never did appreciate the scientific and calculating methods of medicine, rather than relying on faith.]
And I suppose faith and the acts of God shall put them right back in good health? Prayer has it's own ways of healing. Yes. But do not be angry at new, advanced practices of medicine. The studies have been done and leeches have been proven to remove any black bile and excess phlegm from the body, putting them back into the proper balance of the four humours.
[It seems Malkus will have to educate Kloe in the art of Humorism.]

[She really hopes she doesn't need to be leeched.]

Leeches don't do jack squat. Quit giving injured people false information about health. You'll kill them that way.

Ahead of their time, perhaps, but these methods provide results. What!
