Is it only possible to pretend to be a doctor if you graduate from medical school?
If I were in a medical position, I would say otherwise.
The internet world is different.
You can be a doctor in the online world and still have a happy internet life.
That’s based on my own experience.
Before the war, I briefly participated in the precursor to Blinder for a short time.
During that brief stay of about two hours, the users who left the strongest impression on me were the ones who wore the doctor title.
They knew how to give the “sharp words”.
Even if the same thing was said, the cry of a newcomer was dismissed as nonsense, but when a doctor spoke, somehow, it turned into a meaningful “sharp words”.
And there were no topics they couldn’t tackle.
In a common post about gender relationships, when men and women were fighting, a doctor would appear and deliver a sharp comment, and that comment would immediately become the right one.
I didn’t know if gender conflict treatment was part of a doctor's specialty.
But I clearly remember the way they delivered their words, and how people, shocked by their comments, obediently accepted them.
That’s why I, Park Gyu, chose to become a doctor instead of a hunter.
“······Well, if you insist strongly, I’ll do it, but I’d recommend avoiding getting involved in medical debates.”
“If you get caught, won’t it be a problem?”
The sellers were concerned about me.
I smiled brightly and responded.
“Don’t worry. I’m a pro at the internet.”
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) Here’s lunch today! Haha (3)
I posted a simple update on the Everyday Board.
13th Collective Farm / A****:** Looks delicious!
Daegwallyeong Dairy Cooperative / So**:** My mouth is watering~
Gasan Advanced Manufacturing Plant / D****:** Looks tasty!
It was a simple post, but I got three comments.
To compare, I checked the post I made earlier as Skelton:
Unemployed / Sk: Here’s lunch today!
No comments.
“······.”
No one cares about Unemployed Skelton, but when Doctor Skelton posts, people start paying attention.
It’s bittersweet, but what can I do?
I’m a doctor now.
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) I made a wool felt doll! Haha (12)
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) This is an old Awaken test sheet! Haha (9)
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) Possibility of the Hope Collapse (15)
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) Ah~ I’m so sleepy~ (5)
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) Dr. Skelton’s Beatboxing (1)
...
Clearly, I’m getting a lot of comments.
Is it the power of the title?
I even started getting private messages regularly.
<Inbox>
...
I can see why doctors are so popular.
Doctors ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ are helpful.
Even if they don’t provide direct treatment, the knowledge of the medical profession itself is valuable.
In fact, the people who sent me messages wanted my medical knowledge more than they cared about my Skelton persona.
But the truth is, I’m not a doctor.
It’s unfortunate, but I can’t respond to these requests. I’m not qualified to answer them.
Before the war, performing medical procedures without a license was punishable by law.
Anyway, my Doctor Skelton debut was a success.
Despite that, my activities weren’t much different from my time in Viva! Apocalypse!.
I read popular posts, left comments, wrote some new ones, and lurked around.
It’s certainly nice to see comments on my posts.
But my purpose for buying the doctor account wasn’t just to enjoy a happy Blinder life.
I’m still mindful of my roots in Viva! Apocalypse!.
ㅇㅇ: Hey. What’s this guy doing now?
It was about three days after Skelton had started working as a “doctor” on Blinder when my story began circulating in Viva! Apocalypse!.
An anonymous user had saved a screenshot of me operating as a doctor on Blinder and posted it on the board.
The post sparked attention on the board, but in a different way from m9’s ridicule.
ㅇㅇ: What? Skelton is a doctor?
Anonymous424: Skelton is a doctor?
Unicorn18: What the~
mmmmmmmmm: If this guy’s really a doctor, our apartment is doomed.
Anonymous458: Could be a doctor. I heard there are strange people among doctors.
tntn_Orthopedics: I remember Skelton never joined discussions with our board’s doctors...
dongtanmom: Munching... Of course, he bought the account... munching...
gijayangban: ?
...
There were many mixed opinions.
Among them, many doubted me.
Especially Dongtanmom.
She’s a friend of mine, but moments like these make me truly dislike people.
But this controversy isn’t necessarily bad.
“······.”
It means that Skelton is at the center of attention.
And not just any Skelton, but Doctor Skelton.
Doctor Skelton’s Life
It’s been 10 days since I’ve been living as Doctor Skelton.
They say your environment shapes you.
My internet activities have changed a lot compared to my time as Skelton.
I used to write posts and wait for reactions, but now, I seek out the hottest posts.
The Hot Topics board on Blinder is where the most popular posts are found.
I focus on finding posts that have sparked debates.
Finding those posts isn’t hard.
All you need to do is look for the ones with the most comments.
Seoul Supply Support Team / Tak****:** Why do women test people’s patience like this? (632)
I checked out the post.
The poster was a male employee at a large cafeteria serving about 3,000 meals.
It seemed he had been assigned there via the employment center, but conflicts arose with the female employees who had worked there longer.
He felt that the women were treating him unfairly. For example, when he was cutting potatoes, they would tell him to serve food, and when he was serving, they would criticize him for not watching the soup pot.
The gist of his post was that he was being constantly harassed while trying to do his job.
“······Hmm.”
I crossed my arms and read the comments.
There were opinions both supporting the women and the poster.
Those supporting the women argued that in a cafeteria like theirs, where experienced workers had been there a long time, the new employee should try to match their pace and rhythm.
Those supporting the poster criticized the women for being overly territorial towards the new guy.
Both sides had valid points.
It reminded me of my own time during the Chinese era, with Kim Daram and me leading an elite team. When someone underperformed, it created problems.
Adding a member should increase strength, but it often resulted in the opposite.
In my case, I wouldn’t hesitate to cut such team members loose.
I didn’t forgive those who didn’t meet the standards.
Unlike other team leaders, I never tried to get rid of them intentionally, but I didn’t deny that I used harsh methods.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēwebnovel.com.
Anyway, despite my history, I wanted to support the women in this situation.
But public opinion was different.
Most of the new civilians who had joined the Legion had either been idle for too long or lacked relevant experience.
Most users on Blinder supported the poster, criticizing the women.
“······.”
Here’s where it gets important.
When both sides, the supporters and the opponents, had made their points and the situation was starting to settle down.
That was the moment when the “doctor” should step in.
Doctor / x***:** (Skelton) I understand both sides, but I think it would have been better if the female employees had shown a bit more flexibility. After all, it’s a workplace, right? You can’t avoid each other. If one side bends, the original group should bend as well.
A sharp remark.
It’s a power only a few can wield in Blinder.
Unemployed could make sharp remarks, but no one would listen.
But as a doctor...
New Collective Group / A****:** As expected, the divine doctor.
Daegwallyeong Dairy Cooperative / x*****:** Oh, the doctor has appeared!
Unemployed / Un**:** Why do you think that, doctor?
Samgeon Construction / Bok**:** As expected, the divine doctor.
People respond to me.
It doesn’t matter if my words are right or not.
What matters is the title.
As long as you have the title, people will find the credibility in your words.
“······.”
These sharp remarks have become one of my hobbies recently.
I could say they’re one of the joys that sustain me.
And so, when I was about to leave after delivering another sharp remark...
A new comment appeared.
Hunter / Cho***:** What do you mean by “right”? That’s just a bunch of vague nonsense. If you’re going to talk like that, just keep your mouth shut. Who do you think you are, posting useless comments every time like you’re some sort of authority?
“?”
What’s this?
Is this an attack?
There’s no doubt about it.
This is an attack on me.
But this guy, his job seems unusual.
He’s a hunter.
If he were unemployed, I would have ignored him, but why is a hunter starting a fight with me?
“······.”
At this point, reacting hastily and emotionally is the way of an amateur.
I kept silent and observed.
As though I hadn’t seen the comment.
It wouldn’t be bad if the situation just ended here.
Doctor vs Hunter.
If the Dragon and Tiger of Blinder were to clash, both would inevitably get hurt.
But this guy...
Hunter / Cho***:** This person. This isn’t the first time. What’s so great about you? Huh? What’s so great?
He knows me.
What should I say?
The scent of a “snipe” is strongly in the air.
Did I do something to deserve a snipe?
Confused, I went to the Completely Anonymous board.
When fights break out on a board, unlike Viva! Apocalypse! where things are addressed directly, Blinder operates more sneakily in the background, engaging in covert battles.
It’s the same now.
When a heated argument breaks out in a popular board like the Hot Topics board, people don’t rally behind someone or criticize someone directly. Instead, they go to the Completely Anonymous board to talk about it.
And sure enough, what just happened to me had already taken over the trends on that board.
Anyone: Isn’t that Hunter the Bitik Auntie?
Anyone: Why is the Bitik Auntie so angry?
Anyone: Doesn’t the Bitik Auntie always criticize but never accept criticism herself?
Anyone: I think she’s been holding it in and finally snapped.
Anyone: I honestly didn’t like Skelton either.
Anyone: Yeah, he suddenly appeared, acting all high and mighty, criticizing everyone. Who would like that?
Anyone: He really smells like a newbie and ended up getting bitten by the Bitik Auntie. Tsk tsk.
Anyone: Come to think of it, isn’t Skelton that weird guy from Viva! Apocalypse!?
From the context, it seems that the Hunter who attacked me is probably Kim Daram.
This is humiliating, but the diplomatic approach seems the best solution here.
Tap Tap
Daram, right? It’s Park Gyu. Park. Skelton. Don’t you recognize me? I was just messing around, so let’s not get worked up and move on calmly ^^
I sent a message to Kim Daram.
But...
<This user has blocked messages.>
I can’t reach Kim Daram.
To make things worse, the Hot Topics board is getting more heated.
Hunter / Cho***:** Why aren’t you saying anything? Try giving me a sharp remark, huh? You like giving sharp remarks, right?
This guy.
I can tell now.
He’s doing this because he hates me.
“······.”
Let me just put out this fire for now.
Tap Tap
Doctor / x***:** (m9) Hey, Hunter, I’m not sure why you’re so upset, but I wasn’t trying to make a sharp remark, so please let it go.
It might seem a bit submissive, but if this ends the fight, it’s a small price to pay.
But then...
Hunter / Cho***:** Which hospital are you with?
“?!”
Hunter / Cho***:** My husband’s a doctor. This must be fate, let’s get to know each other~ My husband works at Chuncheon General Hospital. If you’re uncomfortable, just tell me the hospital and department!
The situation is turning awkwardly.
This is not a good situation.
It’s getting closer to the worst.
Hunter / Cho***:** Why can’t you tell me? At least the hospital and department? Huh?
Kim Daram is pushing me to the edge.
Hunter / Cho***:** If you’re not replying, does that mean... you’re an impersonator?
“······.”
<Would you like to delete this comment?>
This is the best option.
Delete the comment and run.
Fighting against an opponent I can’t win against is foolish.
But then, it crossed my mind.
Is this really the right thing to do?
If I delete the comment and run, will Kim Daram let me off the hook?
It’s obvious that she will keep attacking me, commenting on every post I make.
Suddenly, the words of the Doctor Account seller crossed my mind.
“Ah, this account? It’s a sort of dummy account. It wasn’t created newly, just modifying the dummy account information that existed since Blinder was developed. Even if you get caught, it won’t be a big deal. You just can’t use that account anymore.”
That’s right, Park Gyu.
I didn’t live like that.
Hunter / Cho***:** So you’re an impersonator? Huh? You impersonated a doctor? I heard there are a lot of impersonation accounts nowadays, and it turns out it’s true. You’re really bold. Even impersonating a doctor. Have you ever stepped foot in a medical school? Haha.
Hunter / Cho***:** I’m reporting you right now.
“······.”
Tap Tap
Doctor / x***:** (Dongtanmom) Bitik.
Hunter / Cho***:** What?
Doctor / x***:** (Dongtanmom) Bitik Auntie.
Hunter / Cho***:** What did you just say?
Doctor / x***:** (Dongtanmom) Bitik Auntie.
<Would you like to delete your account?>
<Account has been deleted.>
“Hmm? Senior? You still need anything? I need food, clothes, toothpaste, medicine, etc. Oh, you’re coming now? Why?”
“Not really, just that... I can’t sit by while my junior is suffering, can I? I know I won’t be much help, but I have to do what I can.”
“Senior...”
“You don’t need to thank me. I’m doing it because I feel like it.”
I arranged to meet Woo Min-hee.
