Quote:
Ironically, Batman would need something akin to a mob doctor, with his own private medical facilities, to help mask his numerous injuries from the public. Still, if Bruce Wayne were to be injured while traveling, for example, a doctor who wasn't under his thumb might find some very interesting things which would be detrimental if released to the public, lest some sort of compensation or persuasion were in order.

Some funny and thought-provoking stuff, like this: Patient has denied being the victim of domestic abuse by Mr. Grayson following indirect and direct questioning on numerous occasions. |

Mr. Wayne should come clean and explain that one of his girlfriends is into whips, and their nightly liaisons typically involve their dressing up in animal costumes.

I've never really read the comics, but on Batman: TAS he seemed to receive any medical treatment almost exclusively from Dr. Leslie Thompkins, an old friend of his parents.|

As far as a doctor blackmailing Bruce Wayne when they find out that he's Batman? You don't blackmail Batman.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Thanks for reminding me about Dr. Thompkins, and why I need to finally buy TAS off of Amazon with my birthday gift card
Doesn't Alfred have some sort of emergency medical treatment skills from his time in Her Majesty's military?
Well yes, but there's a difference between having EMT / Paramedic skills and having a full-fledged doctor to set bones, write prescriptions, provide long-term treatments, etc.
