tcs SPOOKY questions #2: would a sick werewolf go to the doctor or the vet??

[BIG ASHLEY]

this one seems obvious at first glance but i feel like there are some really good counterarguments.............

 

[Ironmage]

There's usually enough weird things that werewolves have that neither humans nor wolves have (special interactions with silver are an obvious example) that you would really need a doctor trained to work with werewolves specifically in order to have good results in a general case. If that's not an option, I'd lean towards a human-focused doctor since that's the form most werewolves spend more of their time in.

I think it depends on whether or not there is a full moon out.

full moon? vet
no full moon? doctor

spooky subquestion:

is "sick werewolf" a tautology

vet. veterinarians are incredible generalists who have to care for an impressive amount of biologies and often under a time limit where they just have to operate with their best guess from their prior knowledge.
and the nail in this spooky coffin is that vets have bedside manner to comfort a dog AND humans alike, whereas a lot of human doctors don't even bother to be kind to their patients. and nobody wants to be dealing with an anxious werewolf.

Sigma mindset doctors makes millions while beta cuck vets do more work for less

neither, the werewolf goes to the acupuncturist because the werewolf does not believe in modern medicine, completely unaware that the acupuncturist keeps giving them covid

"Mr Vimes, surely you don't mean... Doughnut Jimmy?!"
"Yes, that's the one."
"But he's a horse doctor!"
"The best. And normal doctors don't have to work with patients worth tens of thousands of dollars, owned by very important people who demand results. They can afford to fail. He can't."

Even a normal werewolf should see a doctor if we're being entirely honest.

full moon? vet
no full moon? doctor

Vets are closed at night
