[When the video turns on it's clear it's not supposed to be on. Owen can be seen, face down on his desk and very asleep. It's quite possible he's even drooling a little on the paperwork he had been messing with before but he'll deny the whole thing if asked. In the background, someone can be heard approaching and a hand shakes his shoulder, gently ( Read more... )

I have some experience with nursing, and I will, of course, offer my services.

And, you are..?

My name is Amelia Peabody Emerson.

Alright, Amelia...if you say you've got experience, I have no reason to turn you away. You wanna help? Show up and there'll be work for you.

Don't know what this experience entailed, but it's not easy and it's not for the squeamish, got it?

I am much less squeamish than many males of my acquaintance and quite familiar with common remedies and nursing practices. If not for that ridiculous insistence on not allowing females to enter medical school....

But that is no matter now. About my experience I will tell you this. I have taken care of the majority of the medical issues of both my family and our workers for the past few years. There are very few trained doctors of any sort outside of Cairo, and none in the areas our archaeological excavations have usually taken us to.

...You're not a modern girl, then if you're not allowed in med-school. Alright... considering the circumstances, I don't mind giving you a chance. 'Sides, I've known plenty of women who're better at their jobs than men.

However, just know I take my patients seriously, you're not what you say you are and I'll have no problem changing my mind; I might need some help, but I'm not so desperate as to get it from some shoddy nurse.

A ridiculous ban. Women are perfectly capable of this kind of work.

It is the year of our lord 1900, although I am lead to understand that that is not true for everyone in this benighted city.

[Amelia sniffs.]

I never exaggerate my qualifications. Although I have never formally trained, I have received more than enough practice recently. In the villages along the Nile they call me Sitt Hakim, for I am one of the few willing to dispense basic remedies and advice to prevent the common childhood illnesses.

Right...well, if you show you've got what it takes to handle practicing, then there's no reason to not let you try.

Anything you don't know, like the machines here or something, I'll show you. By the way, it is true: I'm from 2007 back home.
