Doctor Bernice Pierce looked around at her class She was a practicing Doctor of Osteopathy in addition to teaching part time. She felt that she had to do more than just treat the sick and injured, she also wanted to teach others to do the same. Her eyes focused on a heavyset redhead. The young woman was twenty-five making her a couple years older than her classmates but she seemed to be much more mature and acted like she had seen a lot more than she let on. She did not know a lot of her but she's heard that Wendy had married her childhood sweetheart and had a son. But Wendy had an incredible amount of knowledge about anatomy far more than other non-doctors indeed it seems she knew more than a lot of doctors. But right now it looked like her mind was not on the class but was someplace else. Doctor pierce had the tendency to respond to a student who was not paying attention to with out warning ask her a question related to the lesson at hand. This was the case now.
"Mrs. Cummings do you think you could set this fracture with out surgery." She asked.
Wendy had let her mind wander a bit because this was all stuff she had self-taught herself a long time ago and when she answered the question that is what she was thinking.
"Not any more." She answered.
Doctor pierce was surprised by Wendy's strange response.
"Could you explain your answer please?" Doctor pierce replied, "It seems a little strange."
Now Wendy had her mind fully on the class, as she blushed a bit.
"I used to be a witch I aged out about five years ago before that I was a healing witch back then I could pull the arm out using my magic to relieve the pain as I pulled it out I could feel the bones when they were in the right place then I used my magic to heal the break. I started to study anatomy when I was five so I could set the bones properly." Wendy told them
Doctor Pierce was more than a little surprised by Wendy's answer. She looked at the heavy-set woman; she did not look like a witch.
""Where were you a witch?" she asked
"I was a witch with the 555th Joint Fighter Wing I was one of the founding witches I was the second girl to join." Wendy told her. "I was also their senior healing witch."
"I know a bit about the 555th." Doctor Pierce responded. "I don't remember a witch named Cummings."
Wendy rolled her eyes a bit.
"Well at the time there was not." Wendy replied "I'm married now, my maiden name is O' Brian."
Doctor Pierce face palmed she had forgotten that and realized that the 555th started out with two healing witches both with last names of O' Brian and that they were cousins. The press had made a big deal about that because of the fact they were cousins and also because of their extreme youth. She blushed deeply.
"Sorry I forgot you are married now." She apologized. "But you don't look like a strike witch"
"Yeah,' Wendy said with a chuckle. "Mary and I both get a lot of that because everybody thinks of strike witches as being slim and we are chubby and always have been."
By this time Doctor Pierce was blushing beet red.
"So to clarify my answer. I can't set that bone with-out surgery anymore because I don't have magic anymore." Wendy said. "I used to be one of the best healing witches out there…now I'm going to learn to be the best Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine I can be."
"Thank you Wendy." Doctor Pierce said before returning to her lesson.
