thinking about harvey stardew valley and being a rural country doctor with a caseload like:
guy who won’t accept any diagnosis except “you have consumption and need to go to the seaside for your health”
woman who asks what gemstone he would prescribe for her UTI
guy who spends half the day trying to give himself a concussion and the other half trying to blow out his hearing on his guitar
two people who have struggled with alcoholism for years but reject all of his resources for it UNTIL someone gifts them alcohol biweekly for a year straight and suddenly their lives turn around
guy who will not stop mailing people bombs but in a friendly way and like this just isn’t on the PTSD screener??
guy who won’t stop asking him vague but increasingly bizarre questions about the safety of truffle oil
woman who EATS ROCKS
and also there’s a fucking wizard. what’s up with that. how often do you think the man goes “why did i get an MD why didn’t i just train to be a wizard i didn’t even know that was an option” while performing emergency surgery on this one farmer who won’t stop picking fights with ACTUAL MONSTERS

My fellow Daniil enjoyers, I have just finished reading A Country Doctor's Notebook/A Young Doctors Notebook by Mikhail Bulgakov, and the protagonist is so Daniil it's baffling. This city boy doctor in his 20s is dropped into a middle of nowhere town in autumn and is given perhaps way too much responsibility over the lives of the people there and oh how he struggles™. He's also just a teeny tiny bit rude (sometimes people deserve it) but also well-meaning and just trying to do his goddamn job.
The whole time I was reading I was almost imagining the mc as a younger Daniil, perhaps before he started his quest against death, somehow finding his way to the town and starting that hospital he always complained about the town not having, and this book being how he would have fared in the absence of the plague.
Anyway, It's very good and I very much recommend if you like patho but especially Daniil as a character. It's very short, ~150 pages (depending on what stories are included in the translation you read).
