Criminal Doctor

Racketeers, Thieves and Assassins may feel they have no place at hospitals or holy houses, too many questions asked. They need somewhere less official, away from church and state. Back room healing houses have been around since as long as people could stab one another, they act as a safe haven for the criminal underworld; do not harm to the doctor or their patients and and everyone will live to kill each other another day. These doctors come few and far between but are well respected and tend to have plenty of opportunities to hone their craft.
