Ok, not quite.
Basically, I’ve been asked to submit an ISOT/iskari story to a collection and I’m trying to do something a little different. The basic idea is that a relatively young GP – someone in their mid-20s, with a couple of years or so under their belt – takes a wrong turning and finds themselves in the past. They don’t have any major technical knowledge, certainly nothing like Martin Padway or Emily of Schooled in Magic, but they do have a fairly complete background in modern medicine and some experience of working in ambulances, where they have to stabilise the patient before he can be transported to hospital.
Anyway, they wind up in the past (we’ll handwave the language problem for the moment) and make their credencials known to the locals. I haven’t decided where and when yet – Elizabeth’s Britain, Pompey’s Rome (could she save the life of Julia Ceaser, perhaps heading off the Roman Civil War?) – but wherever she goes, she’ll know a lot more about medicine than the locals (assuming she doesn’t get burnt as a witch).
Thoughts?
