Dr Jekyll
TOWER HAMLETS MEDICAL SCHOOL
To: Professor I.N. Stitches, Head of Medical School
Name of Pupil: JEKYLL (Dr, Trainee)
Age: 17
Jekyll has got what it takes to become a very successful doctor with pots of
money.
He demonstrates a rattling good knowledge of the sort of pills what us chaps
in the medical profession need to dish out by the bucketful so's our patients
think we know what's wrong with them. Also his prescription writing is getting
more and more unreadable every day. Good progress, indeed.
Even more encouragingly, Jekyll is starting to invent pills and potions of
his own. This is excellent. Really rich patients will cough up (ha ha!) loadsamoney
if you tell them they're shovelling a designer medicine down their throats rather
than the sort of jollop anybody can pick up from chain stores chemists such as
wellington's.
The thing Jekyll has got to be careful about is trying the stuff on himself.
Experiments with the new mixtures must be carried out on real patients, the nearer
death's door the better that way you can't be blamed if your stuff pops them off
instead of getting them better.
As you know, I never recommend that students try their own potions. I mean,
who knows what could happen? Certainly not us.
