9 - REVELATIONS STEPHAN “I told you, I am fine!” I snapped at the pack physician. He jumped back in fright, “Lord Stephan please let me have a look, your father…” “My father is worrying too much, I am perfectly okay!” I cut him off. I didn’t have time to sit still and be poked and prodded like I was a guinea pig, I had things to do… people to find. “Lord please, just let your poor servant do his job so I can have a good report for your father.” I looked at Dr Purcell, he had been our family physician as well as the pack physician for as long as I could remember, “Fine, make it snappy.” His face brightened up and he dabbed his forehead to clean the bead of sweat that had started to form there. “Thank you Lord, please take off your shirt.” I grunted in frustration but I obliged him.
