An old kind of magic

"well your here....glad to hear it actually last year was pretty poor"

"Yeah.. I think we are missing about 10 people.. Mind you. Two stopped coming after the first week so.." He shrugs.

"mmm this year we should get to some of the good stuff to..i hope anyway"

"I hear there is a practical section this year where we get to split into groups and visit different medical sectors. Y'know, so we know where we want to specialise."

"that...would be really helpful I mean neuro is fiddly at best but getting some hands on would be awesome"

"I know right? So I hope you've been working on your bedside manner." He winks.

"whats the point half the patients are brain damaged!"

"So? I still expect you to be nice to me every day!" he argues with a look of mock aghast on his face.

"thats not bedside manor though and I am not bringing you food in bed you will have to con a lass for that" he shakes his head and looks to his bag sorting things out

"Can't blame me for trying though right?" He winks. "Oh hey, by the way. I heard we're getting a sub teacher for the most of this year. Wonder what they'll be like."

Ewen shrugs "you know what as longs as they dont have a nasal whine...i will deal" he shudders slightly

He laughs. "And if they do?"

"i will keep my head in a bag all year..that week was the longest of my life"

He does his best to imitate the sound while breathing and trying to act casual.

he flaps at him with his off hand "dont even go there or i will preform surgery in your sleep"

He grins. "Keep your head on, I'm only messin' with ya."

"for surgery? why bother?" he snorts

He shrugs. "You get some monsters that don't go under. I'm guessing a bedside manner will help if you are cutting into a conscious patient y'know?"

"i ment keeping my head on...anyway you do have a point i guess"

He laughs at that. "Man oh man. I can only imagine how I'd feel if I looked up to see a surgeon without a head - or rather any eyes - working on me. S'pose you could get a nice close up if you needed to though. Stick it right in there without any shoulder space troubles." He seems to be thinking about it now.

Ewen seems to agree "you have no idea how handy it can be at times....might just have to get a nurse to hold it at a good angle but who needs mirrors"

"Especially if you have a good looking nurse huh," he grins.

"well yeah but its not like i would be looking at her then.."

"No, but if you are lucky you might end it with a nice view."

"and a finger up my esophagus..." he laughs sightly
