remember you're still playing a character
don't become a vendor
enjoy your character as you would any other, except that you also have a special job that you go to
took me too long to learn that when i first started
echoing this for the sake of driving it home
too many UM members over the years have turned into medrp vendors
always remember that every single medical procedure can be unique, remember your limitations as a human being; if 10 patients come in and start expecting you to rush the rp just so they can get out of there, that's their problem not yours. human limitation is one of the most important things in that style of rping and there's absolutely zero substance in rushing.
people grew to hate medrp because it was rushed and made a chore, if it was never rushed and made a chore and was rather seen as a unique experience to rp then the world would be a better place mark my words
my other recommendation is to actually start with a character that has less inherent medical knowledge; i recall making a UM character a long time ago who started with first aid knowledge and had to actually learn everything else, that alone makes the experience a lot better
welcome either way
