Excerpts from Trey Lancaster's Handbook: The Official Doctor's Apprentice (by Choice)

  -Do not mess with Francis's herbs—especially the purple jar.

  -Best cure for melodrama: tell them, "You'll live." (8 out of 10 times, works)

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  -Clinic regulars: Blake, Bluebell, and Ermin.

  Patient Case # 95: Abel Whitmore

  -CC: Sprained wrist.

  -Cause: Carried two injured kids to the infirmary—two at a time.

  -Apprentice's note: Gentleman to the core. Didn't even brag.

  -Me: "Next time, bring a cart."

  -Francis patched him up faster than the rest of us combined.

  -One of the few who knocks, and a house favorite.
