People expect the star of the story to be the hero, to make the right decisions, to have great people to support them. That's not me. I'm the one who gets shit done, whatever it costs. I will survive
I wake up. I go to work. I make my money. And if a patient dies? I don't care. I got many more of them to make money for me.
THAT'S what ponies think of doctors here.
They couldn't be any more wrong. I have spent many days with patients, many days just talking. I have made friends. But this one? This is my most precious.

Ah, yes. Doctors: the lowest of the low. What else but some kind of insidious fiend would choose to dedicate their lives to helping the sick?

Its a story. Based on the stereotypes I myself have seen people think of those at the top. I have seen many people appreciate doctors and they all love them For saving lives. But I have also seen many people who think they could do it for a little less money.
What I was trying to capture here. Was ponies thinkig these things. But as soon as they get into this position of needing the help and care, they see the truth that doctors do care For the lives of the ponies.
But also the fact that one small change at the top like the location of a pharmacy can help others and bring in more profit, but it also has the chance of fatally harming some aswell.
The fic is not about how terrible doctors are. But trying to prove that they do their job because they care.
I apologise if you felt otherwise though.
5046753 Yeah, how DARE they make people feel better!
It seems that a lot of higher educated types who have careers that focus on helping others, doctors, teachers, etc, tend to have a bad reputation for no good reason. Unfortunately, there are doctors who end up not caring so much due to being desensitized for however many reason there could be to cause it.
On to reading this!
I usually don't like one chapter stories... BECAUSE I WANT MORE NOW
D: Anyway, Great story, 10/10 would read agai- wait, why don't I :3
Fucking really?! God damnit. I was not expecting a lot of that and you just had to put a name....
Anyways, not that that's out. I feel the sickness was based off of diabetes, am i correct?

I feel it is because of the expectations people have of them. If they think they have failed one, then they get affected by it badly. And its human natyre to try and make yourself not care about the things that make you feel badly.
But I still believe it is the minority that care less. However, people only really see the bad sides, like these minorities, and less of the good ones

Well...would a chapter woth the same outcome but with dialogue be good enough?

I feel it's also because people believe they make too much money (in a teacher's case, they don't make enough imo), they feel that money is the only thing they're concerned about, or when they, not the professionals, fail due to lack of commitment, understanding, care, etc, they find reasons to blame the professionals for their messups. I am certain these issues, as well as the potential failures, especially the legitimate 'i really tried' types, that can be traced to the professional tend to cause them to fall into the desensitized crowd.
While some of these may be true, in some cases, i think they really should be better respected due to the fact that their job title basically says 'i help people'. Yes, the corrupted shouldn't be involved in these jobs, but i find it sad to ruin the career for all just because a few are/have become bad.
Hope all this makes sense.
I favorited this, and it may be the onoy one chapter story i have and ever will.
I think enough was said with one. I wouldn't mind seeing a full story relevant to this.
Pan, you misspelled my name. Like, how?
Anyway, I enjoyed editing this. Too often are ideas like this done in ways that leave the reader unintentionally unsatisfied, and you managed to do this style justice. The personal, speech-like presentation helped it become less like an irritating infodump and more like an actual story, with the mannerisms and personality breaking it up and making it not only readable, but enjoyable. The ending was sad enough, in theory, to warrant the tragedy tag, too, something often misused. Sure, the use of an OC may put some people off, but it's a legitimate tag on the site and should be used at times. It definitely didn't take away from the story. You wrote a goodun!
With my grammatical help, of course.
Can't forget that :P
P.S. It's certainly more accessible than my stuff. You, unlike me, can write stories without having to challenge yourself unnecessarily.
That's a good thing, by the way. Means people understand it and enjoy it.
5048843 I would LOVE to see that
