Doctor Player

Doctor Player begins with a weak hand. Raymond is the poor, illegitimate son of the king, and the only route to a decent life seems to be healing. His healing ability is abysmal, and he appears doomed to hardship. Then he starts receiving knowledge of something called medical science, which can cure what healing cannot. The premise is a clear underdog hook with a genuinely fresh twist, and the question of whether he can overcome prejudice against his methods drives the story.The series is most engaging when Raymond's new knowledge meets the resistance of the people around him. Each treatment becomes a small argument about what medicine should be, and the full-colour pages keep the clinical scenes approachable.The weaknesses are prejudice arcs that can repeat and a bridge between magic and science that is lightly explained. Readers who enjoy underdog stories with a medical angle will find a satisfying read. Those wanting rigorous science may find it loose, though the premise is appealing.
