Oh boy…ageplay and medical play combined! Two of my favorite themes, and the book did not disappoint. As the description implies, the story here centers around a clinic specifically catering to the ageplay community. Run by Dr. Cora and her two nurses and receptionist, it is fully qualified to handle actual medical issues, but the staff are also well versed in the ageplay dynamic and relationships. As such, as much as medical prescriptions and procedures, Dr. Cora and her nurses also have to deal with helping overcome relationship issues.Dr. Cora’s Clinic is rather unique in that it’s almost like a collection of short stories – while there is a narrative (mainly centered around Cora’s introduction to the lifestyle and gradual development as a Mommy and search for a little) a good deal of it consists of self-contained vignettes, each centered around a procedure or patient (flu shots, spanking therapy, a gyn appointment, etc.). Actually on that topic of vignettes, I liked that only one of them involved a gynecology visit – while that’s certainly my favorite medical play area, there’s of course nothing wrong with branching out to give it a more unique feel. I also was glad that for once this showed a little who saw herself as a teenager – that is definitely a rarity among ageplay books and I was very glad to see that make an appearance here.Dr. Cora’s Clinic wasn’t entirely flawless; for one, I feel it could have been longer and some of the characterization drawn out deeper. And while this isn’t a critique, I will just point out for those who have strong feelings one way or another that there is some light m/m stuff here, involving a Daddy, his ‘son,’ and the male nurse (but there is nothing overtly sexual in here, of any orientation). But regardless, I thought this was a very worthy work of both medical and age play, and I hope we see more works covering both of those areas.
