{02} cardiovascular questions

[gotyourbones]

[Action, at Mayfield High; backdated to Friday]

[Yeah, Medic hadn't really known that school was back in session until he'd started receiving annoyed phone calls from the faculty. If anyone is enrolled in Mayfield High's biology class and lab, well, enjoy your couple of days off! When you arrive on Friday, though, you'll find a very annoyed teacher, dressed pretty much nothing like a teacher, leafing through the textbook in irritation.]

Vhell. It seems zhat it has fallen to me to teach you zhe finer points of zhe study of life; however, ve vhill not be relying on zhis textbook to do so. It is outdated und censored und I prefer my vork hands-on. It vhill be a tool, not our source.

[He leans back in his chair, putting his feet up on his desk and wishing sorely that he had a cigarette or his Kritz right about now.]

I expect you to read it anyvay, of courze. Now, I am certain zhat zhe school vhill provide zhe usual rats und frogs und pig fetuses, but I vhill be giving extra credit to anyvone who brings us anyzhing more interesting to take apart.

Vhell you vhill have to get over it or you vhill fail my class.

[Headache... forming...]

Do you vant to learn or not?

[Prepare for a year's worth of headaches, Mr. Medic.]

...oh no, do I get in trouble if I fail... [She doesn't knoooow.] But why can't we just look at pictures of what's inside things instead?!

If you are villing to settle for a C zhen you can vatch someone else dissect und zhen fill out your assignments. It is a shame zhat you do not appreciate zhe beauty of anatomy, however... zhe curve of zhe kidney, zhe tangle of zhe veins. You are missing out.

Watch... someone else? [Noooo, that's just as bad.] That sounds, um, sort of gross. Er. Sir.

Do not be sentimental. Zhese are my terms, zhis is my classroom. If you vant to pass, you vhill cooperate.

[He'd taken some vicodin from the pharmacy... perhaps he could keep it on him from now on.]

Ozhervise, ve may be doing a human dissection sooner in zhe year zhan I vas planning.

...I guess if I have to... [Waaaiit a second. It takes a moment for the rest of what he said to sink in and, well, she just doesn't quite grasp the personal threat to her well being here, just that it's bad.] Huh?! You can't dissect a person! Especially not at a school! There are kids here!

All zhe more reason to do vone. Zhe earlier you learn, zhe better.

[Fine, he can live with the threat having sailed on by. That'll only make them easier to make later.]

[appleknighted.livejournal.com]

[La la la, what are threats.]

But you'd be hurting someone!

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Nozhing hurts vhen you are dead.

[appleknighted.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but... where... would you get a dead...

[Noooo she doesn't want to think of these things.]
