Friend Event - The Dense Doctor

screen shot

Walk into the Garden Grill and you'll see the Brad is yelling about how tone-deaf Ford is. Wayne is telling Ford how rare it is to see him so thick-headed, and Ford follows up with claiming that he was in no way being insensitive. Brad asks Ford to explain again what happend with a girl who recently came to Ford's clinic. The doctor explained it was nothing special; she had an injury that took some time to heal. After she was better the girl refused to stop visting the clinic. The girl would say she wanted to stay close to Ford.

Au, that's so sweet! Ford doesn't understand why she would keep stopping by, as it wasn't necessary once her injury was healed. He finally told her that healthy people don't need medical care. She said she understood but left crying. Ford figures the girl was probably interested in medicine and wanted to absorb as much knowledge from him as she could. His clinic is not a place for healthy people to come to chit chat.

Brad and Wayne are amazed at Ford's cluelessness. Ford says he's not interested in having a girlfriend, as his life is dedicated to helping sick people. Brad asks if you think Ford's response was too cold.

Choice 1: I guess he's just not interested in romance

Ford explains that in a relationship between a doctor and patient, less is more when it comes to talking of love. The doctor feels he made a mistake talking to all of you and leaves.

Result: -1000 FP with Ford

Choice 2: I think it was a logical response for a doctor

Brad is shocked that you are in support of Ford's actions. The doctor is glad that you came to support the fact that he wasn't being unreasonable and insensitive. He's not being impolite, but he has an appointment coming up that he has to get to. After Ford leaves, Brad is suprised at your response. Wayne figures you spoke up out of simpathy for the doctor.

Result: +2000 FP

The two of them ponder why the girls all seem to like Ford. Brad says that Carrie heard he was called the Crystal King by girls. Wayne thinks Ford attracts the ladies because he hardly ever smiles, and if he happens to smile at a girl that's bound to make the girl feel that they're special. Brad figures that it doesn't matter so much, since Ford will probably never get a girlfriend anyway unless she's just as block-headed or if she understands Ford's strange kindness.
