    I had no idea you treated centipedes also! Neurology is such a fascinating field.

    What about the ones at the top of [the patient's] body?
    Seriously, this patient is clearly in so much pain that he/she has difficulty communicating.
    Hurry up with the treatment!

    No one has said it yet..

    You do have training in the care and feeding of yaks, so this makes obvious sense.
