Suk School
The Imperium's premier school of medicine, its graduates conditioned so they cannot kill a patient.
A diamond tattoo on the forehead marks a Suk doctor at a glance. The conditioning behind that mark runs so deep that even the most paranoid Great Houses let these physicians into their most private rooms without a second thought. Millennia built that trust, all resting on one promise that never broke. A genuine Suk doctor could not be turned into a weapon against the very patient under his care. That made them physicians first, confidants close behind, and often quiet political advisors inside noble households. Then Wellington Yueh broke the promise. His wife was taken and tortured until his conditioning gave way, and through that crack House Atreides fell from within. The failure was unprecedented. Every House that had ever staked its safety on a Suk tattoo was left wondering whether any safeguard could really hold forever, no matter how old or how absolute it looked on paper.
