"You work at the hospital?" Korra asked, a bit surprised by that. While she probably shouldn't have been, there wasn't a real doctor in her hometown. Yes, there was one about a 30 minute drive away (at the hospital in the closest town), but she wasn't used to seeing them just hanging out on the street. There were still some very big culture shocks she was going through, coming to California.
"Are you a doctor, then?" she was curious. She'd never thought about medical school, really, but it had always been an option after her undergrad.
