The District 12 doctor is a doctor who worked at a clinic on the Peacekeepers' base in District 12 around the time of the 10th Hunger Games.
Biography[]
When Coriolanus Snow returned from the woods with a snake bite he believed was deadly, he told this doctor that he received it when he stopped to tie his shoes on his way to the gym, and a snake came out of nowhere to attack him. The doctor remarked that the rain brings them out and asked Snow if he got a good look at it. When Snow answered in the negative and asked if he was going to die, she informed him that the snake was not venomous, and did not even have fangs. When he expressed confusion and said he'd vomited, she attributed his reaction to panic.[1]
The doctor then said the bite would be sore for several days, and it would probably scar. She cleaned it, gave him several shots and a bottle of pills, and told him to come back the following day to check on it. When Snow replied that he was leaving for District 2, she advised him to visit the clinic there, and she wished him luck on his reassignment.[1]
Trivia[]
- In The Hunger Games, Katniss said there was a district doctor who took care of injured coal miners.[2] It is unclear whether this doctor at the Peacekeepers' clinic had the same function.
