Absalom Chirurgeon Dispatch

Unique in Absalom, the Chirurgeon Dispatch is the primary source of health care in the district. In lieu of a more standard hospital, the people of Westgate believe in personal doctors more commonly seen in small towns, expecting them to make house calls. The Dispatch serves as headquarters for these physicians; rather than going to see a doctor, the doctor is dispatched to a patient’s home. The Sally Guard maintains magical communication with the Dispatch and, in emergencies, can have medical assistance on site fairly rapidly. While the Dispatch is based in Westgate and primarily services the district, the doctors are available for house calls throughout the city, and the Dispatch itself stands ready to respond to medical emergencies throughout all of Absalom. As such, it’s always looking to employ competent healers and teachers on contract. The staff is made up primarily of mundane medical doctors and surgeons, but contains several alchemists, herbalists, and magical healers. Physicians with magical abilities are always in demand for major emergencies, and the Dispatch charges quite a bit more for their services. The Dispatch also offers classes taught by its staff dealing with basic medical care and emergency life-saving techniques.
