Speak with Shade Vendas in Taris, Central Plaza: Capital Tower and ask about Medical Sector.

Expected journal update — index 5: The rakghoul disease is rampant, and many people are ill and sick from other ailments. Shade would like me to head to Manaan and find a Selkath doctor named Jhalasha to seek their aid as Taris is restored.

QA console reference

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_TarisSectMedic. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
