FIC: The Medic's Tale (Valiant Tales)
Title: The Medic's Tale
Series: Valiant Tales. Read them in order here.
Rating: G
Characters: Tenth Doctor, The Master (Simm), other characters
Genre: drabble
Spoilers: Minor spoilers for The Sound of Drums and Last of the Time Lords.
Summary: A series of drabbles about the people who lived, worked, and suffered on the Valiant during the Year That Never Was.
Disclaimer: The sandbox belongs to RTD and the BBC. I'm just playing here, in the corner, making little sand-TARDISs.
I’m not that Doctor, or even a doctor, just a corpsman. The real doctor is Doc Patel, the Medical Officer. He oversees Mrs. Saxon’s drugs, an’ helps the Master's experiments with the prisoner belowdecks.
I do little stuff. Look after the Joneses. Stitch up lacerations, give coldpacks for bruises. Give sleeping pills to Turner in engineering, though they don’t stop the nightmares.
Even though I’m not a real doctor, Doc Patel gave me his mug. Says he don’t need it. Got a gold caduceus, and it says primum non nocere. What’s that mean, anyway?

If you want to read the rest of this series, I recommend doing it at ff.net. I have the tales arranged as individual chapters of one story. That makes it easier to read them in order. Although there isn't an overall plot (other than the one we know from canon), some characters do reappear in later tales. I wish I had thought to do so on Teaspoon, but when I began, I didn't realize how many tales there would be.

And thank you. I've bookmarked it so I can come back to it later.
