There was soon a number of reactions coming from the crowd of survivors.
"To prove your a doctor you will need to prove yourself. Apply first aid for me, those who claimed to be a doctor yet can't do it can scram now for if I believe your not a doctor after trying to apply first aid I will personally Stab you in the leg with this knife so you don't have to bother leaving the hospital.
Soon a bunch of people who pretended to be a doctor dropped their hands and what remained where 13.
13... that's quite a nice amount of doctors. These 13 people remaining should all be true doctors or they truly believe that they can apply first aid proficient enough to fool me.
I have been in the Apocalypse for quite a while so naturally I know how to apply first aid to a wound like this. But for one to know how to apply first aid proficiently in the age before the apocalypse you would either have to be a doctor or someone who is highly knowledgeable about first aid. Both of which I will accept. For people who generally know how to apply first aid proficiently will definitely be of use to the doctors.
"All right line up. All of you who remain here means that your highly confident in applying first aid for me so I'm expecting nothing less than perfect. If I find out that your completely new to this I will stay true to my words and have you stay here to be food for the zombies."
I can hear the sound of gulping. It might be because of the tense situation they are in or it's because the knife which I stabbed myself with is still stuck in my hand and blood is dripping everywhere.
My regeneration skill is at an extremely high state meaning my wound might just close itself without them doing anything if I was to pull it out, so I just leave it in there, I don't feel any pain so there is no problem on my side.
But because of this bloody scene a lot of the people are gulping due to fear. Most people haven;t seen much blood expect for scenes out of a horror story or blood being extracted from a needle.
I am probably one of the first people who would stab them self with a knife just to test them to see whether or not they are doctors.
A humans natural instinct is to fear pain, but seeing me who did something so absurd in their eyes while being so calm about it really scared them.

Humans fear pain so they try to avoid getting injured, I who just stabbed my hand with a knife to test them seemed to be someone who is psycho. Naturally they fear me. I mean who wouldn't fear someone who would stab themselves with a knife just to get their point across.
"Whos first?"
All the people stare at my wound. The doctor that will come forward first must definitely be confident about it.
But I didn't really want to test them. I for I've wasted enough time already. The knife stabbing wound I did just now was to scare away any people who weren't confident in applying first aid. It is what is commonly known as a scare tactic. As long as a majority of the people applying to be doctors are actually doctors I won't need to screen anymore people out for the remaining ones should be confident in themselves to treat this wound.
I suddenly grab the pocket knife and started to pull it out.
"Wait you shouldn't pull the knife out. You should leave it there for…"
After pulling the knife out in one quick motion I cover the wound with my hand and started counting.
10... 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0.
After taking my hand off the wound, the wound on my hand mysteriously disappeared and after wiping my bloody hand on my shirt it became all clean again.
"Those that remain are who I believe should be doctors. So if I find out your not a doctor later I'll feed you to the Zombies. Since I don't have much time on my hands to waste it on testing you one by one I'm just gonna take your word for it that your doctors. Give me a name and what you did in the hospital and then get ready to move out. I also believe that since your doctors at this hospital you should know where everything is so make sure to bring me to the dispensary and pharmacy to pick up all the medication. The hospital is going to be burned down later so don't forget anything important for you won't be able to come back for it."
I walk up to the door which they came from. In front of the door was a variety of things from chairs, tables, trash cans and mops. Apparently when the Zombie apocalypse came the people surviving just grabbed whatever they could get there hands on and when they got to the roof they simply blocked the door with them. I tear away the random furniture and when I got to the door I can hear the sounds of scratching.
There apparently doesn't seem to be all that many zombies here. The reason might be because of how full the Hospital was at the time of the apocalypse that they were too busy devouring the pieces of meat around them.
This roof in fact is quite a safe space in this hospital right now as there aren't many zombies lurking nearby. The team of survivors here could've probably lived safely for a couple of days. But since there aren't any supplies such as food here I believe that they would starve quickly.
But nonetheless this is so far much better of a hiding spot then the team of survivors who barricaded themselves inside the Day room. Although there might be some food in there they would most likely be unable to survive past today If I hadn't come.
