Doctor of tragic backstory gets an email requesting that he look over and consider the attached offer for a (well-compensated but not suspiciously so) role tutoring their precocious blue daughter in medicine, which she thinks is interesting. Aitim read some of his research publications and he seems like the right kind of person to tutor their daughter.

Yes of course he'd be delighted when should he show up.

Next week?

Sure.

"We acquired you a doctor!" Aitim tells Lintalai at breakfast.

"Okay. How do you know the doctor will be good and not worried and stuff?"

"There were a lot of records about him because there was a malpractice investigation involving him a little while ago."

"Did he do the malpractice?"

"He did not. We want you to have a good doctor."

"What did the records say that make you sure he will be good and not worried?"

"He was very concerned about patient confidentiality - one of the things that got him in trouble was that the patient asked him not to share medical records with her parents, and even after she died he did not want to do that, even though they were very important and very mad at him and implying that they were going to sue him for killing their daughter."

"But you know the secrets?"

"The courts are allowed to request confidential records to resolve legal cases and they did that and then he had to hand them over."

"Oh."

"I don't want to scare you too much, okay, honey? It is better to be cautious with this but it'll probably be fine."

"Would anybody ever want my notes?"

"I can imagine a court demanding them if it really strongly looked like you'd committed a serious crime and the notes could settle it."

"It is very very unlikely you will be in trouble like that. Very few people ever are; you're more likely to die in a random accident."

"...okay."

"Privacy is really important but so is, like, learning whether a missing person is dead or locked up in someone's basement."

"I'm not gonna lock people up in the basement."

"I know that. I do not think you should worry that a court will need to see your notes. I am just explaining why they are allowed to get things like that."

"Okay."

"We are hoping the doctor will be able to figure out if you need anything you aren't getting here and also why you have trouble with balance."
