50 Cases from Doc Grizzle's Files
A/N: This '50 moments' focuses on my OC Dr. Nicholas "Nick" Grizzle, M.D., joining the faculty of the Xavier Institute as a physician and surgeon. There has been an increase of students and Dr. Hank McCoy (AKA Beast) is having a hard time keeping up with all of their medical needs. So he and Professor Xavier called upon Dr. Grizzle to join the team. Dr. Grizzle is a mutual friend to both Prof. Xavier and Hank, having went to school (with Hank) and served together (with Prof. X). A little background on the character: he served in the US Army in the first and second Gulf Wars as a surgeon to the 4077th MASH unit and for another ten years worked at Stark Industries Medical Research Division. He is a non-mutant, and a staunch supporter of Prof. Xavier's dream.
The estate has grown since the last time I was here. Charles has certainly found success in his plans. Let's hope I can do my part. After all, a mere mortal such as myself couldn't compare to these extraordinary kids.
Scott and Jean have grown so much! Not to mention they are engaged now. It's incredible how time flies. They are a nice couple and I am very happy for them. I saw this coming from a mile away. Looks like I owe Hank and Logan on the bet we made on this.
Despite the flu shots, a case of it has infected Kurt. Unfortunately for him, he keeps teleporting into Kitty's room. She gonna to have his furry hide before the day is out. It's funny though, how the subconscious makes one drift toward something they like.
Luckily for me, I don't need my left foot for surgery. Training the kids in advance first aid and triage was fun and all, but Bobby needs to learn that ice does not make for a good stretcher. Especially when the instructor steps on it and slips.
Remy's doing fine now. Jean and Rogue managed to stabilize him and got him to surgery. I scrubbed up and performed the treatment. Had to remove some shrapnel from his right side. There was a couple of fragments close to his aorta, but I managed to clear it out nicely. Rogue's been by his bedside for the past few days. Though she would deny it, it's tragic that it takes someone nearly dying before you accept that you care for him or her.
The wedding is tomorrow, and we're going to surprise Scott with a bachelor's party. Better get the ibuprofen, we're going to get hangovers from this, except for ol' Metal Bones. Lucky bastard.
I decided to join Poitr in painting the garden today. Too bad Ororo decided to water the plants today. A waste of two perfectly good canvases.
My first run in with the Brotherhood came today. That jumpy slimeball thought he get the slip on me. He didn't know Charles lets me keep a magnum in my desk. For a guy with superpowers, he still puts his hands up like anyone else.
Jean is doing her residency at Salem Center Hospital. She's going to do well as a psychiatrist. Of course, I've agreed to help her get more practical experience in the medical field.
Dear god! What a terrible night it has been. I honestly did everything I could to save his wings. They were so mangled and torn to pieces. I had no choice but to amputate them in order to save his life. This whole ordeal reminds me of the times back in Baghdad. Warren was a brave soul trying to protect the Morlock children from those monsters. Though I known I did everything humanly possible to save them, I still failed that young man. He's lost more than his wings… he's lost a part of who he is. I hope he is willing to forgive me, because I'm sure not going to forgive myself.
