For all that Joly's knowledge of botany, and the medical procedures he learned at home has been useful to him in the arena, it's here that the Capitol's medical training can be put to some decent use. It strikes him as hilarious in some ways, that he's using some of the things he was taught against the Capitol, as he busies himself setting up medical supplies in between offering treatment.
It reminds him of the barricades a little, at least the most recent version of them and he swallows back the idea that he'll have to do things which have no guaranteed success. But this isn't Paris, and this isn't an Arena and he has the proper tools and access to all but the diagnostic machines he doesn't know or understand how to work anyway, though he'd wanted to learn very much.
At any rate, he's no longer an almost doctor, but a student, here with new things to learn ,and new things that he'll be able to use in the practical sense here. Who wants to be his first patient so he can try out his new expertise?
Joly| Trust him! He's a doctor! ...Kinda
