[The screen focuses on a slim, pale man with light green hair and golden eyes. There is a white snake wrapped around his neck, peering at the camera with a similar intensity to the man himself as he ensures that he has set the thing up correctly.

When he realises that he has, his expression clears and settles into a mild, warm smile.]

Ah, there we are.

[His voice is soft, faintly lilted almost as if he's always on the edge of gently chastising someone, but he keeps it pleasant as he speaks.]

My name is Baizhu, a doctor, pharmacist and herbalist from the country of Liyue in Teyvat. I find myself brought into this curious situation with the rest of you, and thought it only polite to offer an introduction along with an offer of my services.

[He pauses, thinking for a moment.]

... Though the advancements of this world when compared to my own may render a good amount of my medical expertise entirely outdated, I believe that some here may still find more comfort in turning to it than relying on more unfamiliar methods.

[Another brief pause, the snake on his shoulders flicks out her tongue, and he smiles again.]

To that end, I would be curious to meet other individuals who have experience in the medical field. I can hardly miss the opportunity to develop my own studies further with the potential of knowledge from other worlds. Please feel free to contact me at your leisure if you're interested.

I fail to see the purpose in taking the time to acquire working knowledge of medicine only to not use it to help others.

People can make quite a variety of seemingly nonsensical decisions based on their own personal desires.

[physicianhealthyself]

Yes, I suppose that's true. Though I haven't often found it to be the case when it comes to medical practicioners.

[rudementary]

I would agree in regards to this place, at least as far as I've been aware. Mind, I'm not a medical professional by any means and my interactions have been limited.

[physicianhealthyself]

Then I'm curious as to how you came upon such a damning conclusion. Are doctors in Sumeru so different?

[rudementary]

A good few I've seen in passing, particularly in the desert region. But there are a slew of issues there that need to be addressed overall, aside from the medical.

[physicianhealthyself]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the socioeconomic issues in Sumeru with regards to the desert region or otherwise, but I will take your word for it.

[rudementary]

I'm familiar enough with it. I'm curious about those of Liyue, however.

[physicianhealthyself]

It would be a topic far better discussed with the Qixing or Tianquan than myself, I'm sure... I'm little more than a simple doctor.

[rudementary]

I see.

Then don't let me keep you much longer from your new work.
