Role of the journeyman

They travel, to learn new healing methods. This will be encouraged by the Tirrala Clinic.

They perfect the basics they learned as apprentices.

They learn how to suture, how to operate.

They learn how to make the treaded bandages.

They work on their master project, which is a written essay.

They help the master making business connections for what is needed for the clinic.

They require less supervision and can go tend patients at their houses.

Role of the apprentice

They spent their time reading material. If they can't read, they will get lessons on reading and writing.

They then help cleaning the tools by boiling water to sterilize them and sweeping the floor.

They make bandages and prepare the patients for the journeyman and masters.

They learn how to clean wounds and tend to them.

They learn how to help deliver infants.

They learn about plants and their uses (foraging and herbalism).

They learn about salves and potions and learn how to use them.

The Beginning

Walking in a field of golden wheat, a soldier stumbles upon some rocks, his chest bearing a long and deep gash. He falls on his knees and looks up to the sky. His lips begins to move, no words seeming to want to come out. He closes his eyes and calls upon the gods for his Gentle Goddess. Suddenly, perhaps the wind, something brushes the top of the grain, like a hand caressing a cheek. He opens his eyes and there she was, a slim young woman, with tired drawn features. She approaches him, with a warmth of a touch she helps him to stand up. Her soft lips whisper to him: "I am Tirrala". The soldier quite tired simply nods, and follows her to the nearest rock. She helps him to sit down. While he gingerly removes his ruined leather vest, to exposed the now infected wound, the young woman takes a few bandages and salves out from her satchel. With expert hands, she cleans his wound and binds him. Not long after the tending is done, the soldier falls unconscious to wake up later and she was gone. (my own creation)

Tirrala, Handmaiden of Renewal is also called the Foremost of Healers. She's the patron of physicians. She usually appears as a slim young woman with tired, drawn features. She carries in her right hand a surgeon's knife and in her left, a urn. These are the symbols of the Society of Physicians.

This blog was created for the purpose of trying to build a foundation for a clinic in Harshlands and to set guidelines for the profession of Physician.

I will be posting numerous things in here, like guidelines to physicians, things that they do, crafts that I would like to submit to builders in Harshlands, ect.

Stay tuned.
