Yes, that is a nice way to say prostitute! In mining towns, there was usually a 9:1 male-female ratio, and so the prostitutes actually played an extremely important role. They were comfort givers and psychiatrists. They were kind faces, and they were often substitute mothers. They were never just ladies of the night. You would have filled this role perfectly!

You don't mind the sight of blood or broken and disfigured bones. You just want to help. You find the human body interesting, and you are also someone who doesn't mind taking care of people when they are sick. You would have been a good doctor to have around in a mining town.
