Resarys Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Are there any stories that feature Apothecaries actually being doctors? "The brave apothecary bravely slaughtered his way through his enemies and then killed his bro and harvested his organs" is not exactly rare and a medical mystery is not exactly... par for the course, but, I just got wondering if there are any appearances of apothecaries doing the REST of their job. Or a Sister Hospitaller or any 40k doctor, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't know of one, but thinking about it, I think it's about time there is one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Legion of the Damned by Rob Sanders, Excoriator Apothecary does some surgery other than extraction of gene seed. A short story in the Tome of Fire by Nick Kyme( Emperor's Deliverance ) Sister Hospitallier And another short story about an Apothecary trying to fight a plague, will try to find story and post later.

Chaeron Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 One that comes to mind that may be of interest, although perhaps not entirely what you're after, is the short story "Apothecary’s Honour” by Simon Jowett, in Dark Imperium - it's a good little story either way, but does partially grapple with what you're interested in and may be a bit off the beaten track!

Quixus Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 There are also several stories that feature apothecaries working on marines or even normal humans. But that is more surgery than diagnosing some exotic illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resarys Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Sweet! I wouldn't expect a story that reads like an episode of House starring an Apothecary, but it's good to know the medics get a little bit of love. I'll look for these. Thanks for the suggestions, and keep em coming! (If indeed there are any more.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I heard that ol' Fabius is quite a good doctor. There are plenty of books where he features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa.logan Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 any 40k doctor, really. Dorden gets a fair few storylines in the Gaunt's Ghosts series; there are a few shorts in which he takes the lead. I also recall, but cannot place a story about an apothecary treating a chaos-y plague, but can't for the life of me recall where I read it. One of the Space Marine anthologies, perhaps?

His name is Meric Voyen Garro's company apothecary in Flight of the Eisenstein "Afterward, Voyen told Garro that he was renouncing his oath as an Astartes, deciding that he had proven himself unreliable to his battle-brothers. Garro encouraged him to stay, but Voyen declared that he was a healer first and a warrior second, and so was going to dedicate his life to finding a cure for the Rot that claimed Decius." http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Meric_Voyen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Finished it today, but the short 'Chirurgeon' in Blades of the Traitor is very good, and on the theme you're looking for too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
