Doctor's Log
September 12, 2004
I was right, everyone was back to normal today. General Hawk came in with two broken fingers on his right hand. I guess he'd better learn how to write with his left one. He wouldn't say how he did it. I have the feeling that our fearless leader probably did something incredibly stupid.
Duke knows what happened, but he won't say. Hawk probably swore him to secrecy.
Dusty also made his appearance today into this asylum for the criminally insane. Seriously, I think I'm going to rename my infirmary Lifeline's Asylum for the Insane. I seem to get all of the crazy people in here. Granted, Dusty isn't as bad as many of the Joes, but paired with Beach Head and Gung Ho, well… Let's just say that they may not be the best influence on him.
I don't think he'll cause any problems for a few days. (Hopefully.) He's in really bad shape. Dusty has a mild concussion and second and third degree burns on his body. Gung Ho's first comment to him was that he looked like shit.
Dusty's slept most of the day, I know he's in a lot of pain. He did wake up enough for him to have a conversation with the other two. They were debating on the best way to kill a snake. (Not COBRA, just snakes in general.) I'm not sure how that conversation came about.
Beach Head's trying to pretend that the concert yesterday didn't happen. He doesn't want to admit to actually having sung on stage with Wild Bill. I guess it doesn't really fit with his self made image of the bad ass Ranger. Speaking of the concert, Gung Ho secretly sent a copy of it to Beach Head's sister.
Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, they watched The Matrix today. After that, they had a long debate on whether life really was an illusion. They really must be bored.
I let them go outside today in their wheelchairs. Snake Eyes and Spirit escorted them to make sure an escape attempt wasn't made. They tried to run down Shipwreck. He took refuge in a tree and yelled bloody murder at them. Gung Ho also had to go check on his Chevy to make sure it was still okay.
I'd better go, Dusty just woke up and seems a bit out of it.
Author's Note: Does anyone know how long people stay in the hospital for broken bones? I've actually never had one. I'm just wondering how much longer Beach Head and Gung Ho should stay in the infirmary. I know that casts are usually on for a long time, and that there's therapy after they come off.
