Royal Physician

=Overview=

The Royal Physician is the personal medical attendant to the Royal Family. While a member of the Royal Court, it is unique in several ways. Firstly in that it is an almost certainty that the King will not just appoint an unqualified favorite to the Royal Physician, as has been known to happen in other positions in the court, but fill it with a skilled and dedicated healer or doctor. Secondly in that it is one of the few that is occupied more often by a non-peer than a peer, given that most peers do not pursue medical training their whole lives. And thirdly in that it is also frequently occupied by non-Elua followers and even non-D'Angelines, with Yeshuites often serving in the role.

It is a position of grave importance to the realm, and talent is more often than not the deciding factor. While it does not carry many overt privileges or benefits (besides a handsome salary), the Crown is known to take care of those who keep it well.
