The Odd Doctor #1

Synopsis

An experienced senior surgeon falls asleep in the doctor's lounge after a challenging shift. He wakes up in another world and in a different body—with a stab wound in his chest. Before he can do anything else, he has to deal with the stranger, lavishly dressed in nineteenth century clothing, whose hand is gripping the bloody dagger. Once the intensity eases up, he has a chance to look around.This world looks like his own, but in a completely different time period. It's not technology that rules here but magic, and the impossible becomes possible. But now there's a new problem: something strange happened to the previous owner of the body the surgeon has found himself in, and the healing gift he inherited has been lost. He must recover his gift and master new ways of healing with magic. His knowledge of anatomy and surgery prove useful, the ace up his sleeve.However, things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface. Medicine in this unfamiliar world is accessible only to a select few. Pushing down resistance from the local "luminaries" who want nothing to do with reform, our senior surgeon, Alexander Sklifosovsky, intends to correct this injustice. After all, he knows all too well the forces that will stand in his way. But if he achieves his goal, the health and well-being of this new world's people could be forever changed.
