    I prefer when they wave a light over me.

    If the magic light isn’t available then I opt for one of Phlox’s frankencreature treatments.

        This is why everyone disliked Phlox’s medical prowess. It worked but at what cost?

    I mean that is kind of like saying doctors go to is medicine since the hypospray is just the syringe.

      Yes, but usually* doctors will at least say what kind of shot they’re giving (and if you’re lucky, tell you why).

      ~* I guess there’s a non-zero possibility of it not always being the case.~

    In the good old days, the doctor would make you lay on a weird electric bed and a creepy “thrum-thrum” noise would keep track of your heartbeat.
