owen archer,spy,apprentice appothacary,husband father.
in this book 5 of so far 10, you learn about the midival version of HMO.
this is something of history I had not known, people with money,property
little or no family can purchase a corrody which allows them to enter the hospital
and eventually there version of nursing home/board and care when the time came.
the trick was to charge enough to cover the patient and wife and still make a profit.
this was a common way to do things back in the day [1369]. oh and the black plague
was making the rounds. lucy was busy selling what people wanted to protect them.
people thought noxious vapors were the cause of it. and to make it fun there is a
killer going around, a human type person.
