Although Snake could take care of himself perfectly fine, he was not stupid enough to skip out on doctor care. If something were to happen to his arm, he could only tinker around one-handed so much.

Besides, after all the time he'd spent in hospitals, he had a great appreciation for the medical profession. So that's why he sat in the waiting room of the clinic, going over some notes for class and waiting for his actual name -- Light Averly -- to be called.
