Doc Hatchett's Surgery

Doc Hatchet's Surgery is a building in the city of Drakmort, located deep within the slums of Goblintown. It is the home of Dr. Edmund "Doc" Hatchett, a middle-aged bugbear and back-alley physician.

Description

The building in which Doc Hatchett conducts his work is a simple pair of adjoining wooden shacks, each 15 feet on a side, with corrugated metal roofs and windows that are perpetually boarded. Inside, the interior space is divided into two sections: a "waiting room" consisting of termite-eaten furniture and shelves filled with a surprisingly diverse collection of well-maintained books, and the surgery room, which contains an operating table and rows upon rows of slightly-rused instruments and jars and bottles of alchemical supplies. For privacy, the two sections are divided by a curtain which may have at one point been colored white.
Where Doc Hatchett sleeps in this arrangement is a mystery; based on the amount of shed fur commonly found on the operating table, some patients have speculated that the bugbear uses the table as a bed when no one else is around.
For those without the coin to afford the divine magical healing offered by the clerics of the Holy Mile, or for those who, for one reason or another, do not wish for their injuries or illnesses to be known by the church, Doc Hatchett is seen by the people of Drakmort as the next-best available option: the bugbear, while self-taught in the ways of medicine and completely lacking in bedside manner, is competent enough to set a broken bone, dig a crossbow bolt out of a human thigh, or prescribe an alchemical concoction to treat any manner of shameful skin affliction or transmittable disease.
The main draw of Hatchett's services of course, is that he does not charge for them, although the bugbear has been known to accept rare books as a form of payment. Additionally, Doc Hatchett is a firm believer of doctor-patient confidentiality, and never questions the nature of his patients' injuries or afflictions, or how they were acquired.
