Isabella could certainly work as a doctor at the stables, but she wouldn't have the authority to write a prescription
Thanks, Joe, that's how I understand it. Although I believe that a FINO slave would retain their credentials, because the free person continues to exist as a legal entity while their slave-persona is under slave discipline. Also, I think that this means that true slaves can't drive because they cannot be issued a driver's license.

When I do Sandy's follow-on story, I plan to depict Isabelle visiting the HH Ranch as her free persona, Doctor Cohen. Harriette has secrets and she needs someone on the inside who can help her keep them. Spoiler - Hank's shins are a mess. What better way to smuggle in a doctor than bringing Isabelle in for the occasional pony weekend? This is the deep-plot reason behind Isabelle's recruitment and it's why Harriette is so eager to make Isabelle an Association insider. She enlisted Mary's help in recruiting Isabelle over a year earlier - the hospital has pictures of its physicians on its website and Harriette picked her out personally. "Mary, I want that one, get her for me. Bring her to me."

While she's on the ranch as Isabelle (for now), Harriette asks her to look at some ponies' feet. Harriette escorts Dr. Cohen to the ranch clinic and introduces her to the slave nurse, yet another woman who she has purchased for a fraction of her value as a degreed professional (I plan to make that a recurring theme because I like it so much). Nurse Callie is serving a 10-year criminal sentence for shooting her husband. She caught him balls deep in her sister... and her niece! Since Nurse Callie is a real slave and not a FINO slave, her nursing credentials have been revoked. Harriette gets around that by simply making her slave name "Nurse Callie." Dr. Cohen knew her as an eager young nursing student before her enslavement and finding her here is quite the shock. For both of them. Nurse Callie is wearing a nurse's uniform hat, a stethoscope, a white leather collar with red crosses on it, and... that's it. I do so love a clothed-female-naked-female moment! I have (fun-evil) plans for Nurse Callie. Also, because Carl reads my work, a happily-ever-after as well.

Thanks again for the clarification. I think it's very important to color within the lines, especially since I'm a latecomer.
