 A simple topic from herr_bookman  for a late Monday morning:
When is the last time your pups were sick? What did they have?

To which I would like to add: How are they as a patient when they are sick? Or, for those who don't get sick, how are they at treating those who do get sick?

Ace: Ages ago, before she met the Doctor - I firmly believe Seven was both sneaky enough and overprotective in his odd way enough to sneak Ace vaccination against all sorts of things without her even knowing it. And she gets kind of flaily when people are sick around her - sick = possibly dying and that's not something she's good at dealing with at all. Headcanon says Ace has long-ago been officially banned from going anywhere near Cora when the kiddo's sick, by pretty much everyone else in the household.

Katya: Again, ages - before she became Other. She's pragmatic around sick people - sick people will, in her world, by default, be human. And humans do tend to get sick, and all of them eventually die, so it's just... life? She can be sympathetic and helpful. If she wants to be.

Haymitch: If we're only counting 'sick because of disease' and not 'sick from the world's most horrific hangover', he hasn't been sick since his Games, the Capitol has seen to that. They're not losing one of their favorite toys over something like the flu. He... has absolutely no experience in his adult life being around sick people. No one gets close to him in Twelve, and Capitol folk don't bother to go through such natural things as sickness. They have medicine for that.

Glorfindel: ... See, my headcanon says the firstborn aren't terribly prone to getting sick. Other Tolkien-verse muns want to chime in? He's pretty good at dealing with it though, after chasing Elrond around for Ages.

Oswin: Maybe got sick a couple times as a kid, but she's been pretty good with her vaccinations as an adult, and it's the future, so. .... I could be evil and let some of those vaccinations start to wear off. >.> She's decent at dealing with sick people, due to training.

Clara: Caught last year's flu, it was horrid, she doesn't want to talk about it. She's one of those 'I shall soldier on until I really shouldn't've and now I'm going to hide in bed for a couple days with some tea and all my books go away' sort of people. Living with two slightly self-absorbed kiddos doesn't help.

Bones: Miri's planet, it was horrible, and Olga was mean afterwards. :D Seriously, it takes something like an alien disease to take him down a peg, because again, it's the future, there's medicine for these kinds of things. And he's a doctor, he's kind of expected to be good at treating the sick, it's a basic requirement.

Balthazar: Gets the local variant flu every now and again, had the usual run of illnesses as a child. He's the same as a patient as he is dealing with other people - rather impatient and ruthless about the whole process because it's wasting time on something he considers entirely stupid and dull.
