My wife is a nurse that works for a church under an umbrella program sponsored by our local hospital. Her duties aren’t bedpans or even providing nursing services: it is mostly advisory. She does health checks, immunizations, advises people on access to care and also counsels them with things like “make sure you ask your doctor this” or “Translated into English, this is what your doctor said.”
I’ve heard the phone calls she gets and her responses range from “take two aspirin and call me in the morning” to “Hang up. Dial 911 and I will meet you in the emergency room.”
People send her pictures of body parts all the time. “Does this toe look broken to you?” or “This is the rash on my son’s rear end. Should I see a doctor?” A little bit unsettling when the son isn’t an infant.
Better if done in a dim room. Maybe a few flickering oil lamps.
They were counting on the ethereal ‘glow’ shining upward on their wizened face while interpreting the entrails. Assuming, since the presence of a Kindle in their time (whatever time that may be) it could be an option.

I thought that’s what ‘E-Reader’ stood for…?

Since he uses Kindle Unlimited he has to return the entrails after reading them.
