General notes

Not even sure if anyone's checking this, but I need to go on record as having said all this:

Visiting's allowed 24 hours a day for those who are still under ob, but we're kicking people out of rooms if they're disruptive and preventing rest.

Antidepressants and prescription drugs are under lock and key. Be judicious with painkillers - standard medical procedure, take note of any past addiction issues.

Chart carefully.

I'll take care of re-supplying the Blackbird with medical supplies, and I'll check to see if anyone at the brownstone-associated clinic can provide some relief for a few hours.

And, finally, because I need to say it: I can't stop thinking about Moira.

So, Wade's fine. Because he has a healing factor. I made him stay in the medlab for an extra hour to prove a point.

But maybe someone should go talk to Molly? I'll talk to Haller or something. In between all my shouting at Wade, I did not think to make sure she wasn't totally traumatized by yet another terrible thing happening near her.

(At the risk of sounding crude in this professional setting: What the fuck?)

Well. Looks like I got back just in time.

Let me know if you guys need help with Hope or Laurie, otherwise I'll stick to my self-imposed, probably-not-Ebola quarantine.

SITREP

Hoo boy - finally found time for a little break. This is probably pointless, since we've all spent the last few hours together, but it never hurts to write things down.

As I said earlier, limited visitors in the medlab, at least until tomorrow. There's too much going on, and if we start to let one person too many in, we've got the whole school in our space pretty soon. Let's just keep an eye on numbers, and don't be afraid to gently-yet-firmly send people away when we need them to clear out. (I'm more than happy to do this.)

Clarice needs some time to recover, despite what she says. Nobody let her get up and help patients until either Amelia or I clear them. And let's leave Dr. Grey-Summers alone too. There's enough medical expertise without them.

I'm not going to go into the list of situations, because my brain won't function that way. But let's just keep an especially close eye on vitals for all of our patients - especially Fred. Now's not the time to be lapsing in our protocol. (If I had to place bets, I'd say Yvette will be the first out, but you know how these things go.)

And Laurie? Take more frequent breaks, okay? You're doing a great job, and I couldn't do any of this without you, but you've got plenty of time to become a medicine zombie - Dr. Voght and I are both well-practiced enough.

Re: Adrienne Frost

All,

Adrienne had a bit of a nasty spill on her motorcycle, and she's got a tibial shaft fracture. It's nothing too severe - nothing surgical - but pain management might be an issue, and I haven't ruled out a possible concussion, so I wanted everyone to be aware.

(And yes, I've given her a lecture about how motorcycles are death traps to be avoided at all costs. My guess is she'll pretend to have forgotten my lecture because the aftermath of the trauma was too damn great.)

Two things

1. Thanks to whoever watered my plant while I was taking a much-needed medlab break. Guillermo the Fern appreciates you.

2. After Avalon, it looks like we need more than the usual supply order to replenish our stores. At some point, we got low on B+ blood, and unless it's hiding somewhere I can't find it, we're almost out of adhesive tape.

Amelia has graciously agreed to handle surveying our inventory, but if there's anything special you need, best to let her know.

Help.

Almost a decade later, and I still can't manage the intricacies of Dr. McCoy's filing and case numbering system. Or Moira's equally complicated guide. Or Maddie's mnemonic device.

Can someone get me Wade Wilson's charts and scans? Told him I'd take a look.

(And Dr. Grey, let me know when would be a good time for you to update me on the goings on in the lab.)

Medlab

What's the plan? I know I've heard of Layla and Jean-Phillipe being hurt. Are they going to be staying in med lab or are they going to be allowed to stay in their rooms?

Is there anything I can do to help?

Matt

Just wanted you all to know I'm giving the new kid some Advil Migraine. Did I miss reading a memo? I didn't know we were getting someone new. I've been sort of behind this last few weeks.

New Developments

A few things happened early this afternoon regarding our new guest. Jared came to visit with Derek and after touching him he seemed to wind up getting his abilities back from the contact.

Hank, can you set up a mouth swab for Jared to test his DNA for confirmation? Since his powers seem to be back a blood sample is obviously difficult.

As for Derek, a blood sample or even a mouth swab is completely out of the question as everything he touches now seems to explode.

Precautions are advised.

Regarding our new visitor

A brief rundown on the boy down in the Medlab: Derek is a 16 year old who claims to be carrying multiple mutations in his body.

Whether or not this is true is currently unable to be determined, as it has proved nearly impossible to draw a blood sample.

His skin is either unbreakable, or something else is blocking the needle from penetrating the skin. At this moment I'm not sure which is the case.

Patient Admittance: Kevin Ford

Kevin Ford has been admitted to the medlab with a pulmonary contusion and fractured ribs after an accident last night. I will be keeping him for observation for a couple of days. Visitors are allowed but please keep chatter brief.

I have filed a intake report in the medlab. Feel free to contact me if there are any questions.

Information regarding Haven and the "Untouchables"

I am not sure where to begin. I suppose before I start, I will go ahead and let you know that I am still in possession of my mutant abilities. Perhaps that is not quite the right way to tell you the details of my meeting with the woman known as Haven, but I believe that I should go ahead and say it so you do not wonder if yet another unpleasant statement is waiting at the end of my post. A day has passed since the meeting, so I feel safe in saying that I remain unchanged.

Haven openly admits to being the one responsible for the alteration of "Yvette and her friends," as she described them. She claims that the changes are permanent, that these four will remain human, that the changes cannot be reversed. She appears to believe that she is entirely in the right for what she has done, even though she does acknowledge the fact that she did not take the time to ask each person present whether or not he or she truly wished to lose his or her mutation.

I do not believe that Haven intended any harm. She stated that she wished to "ease their lives" and that they will not suffer from any complications as a result of what she has done to them. If all that she has told me is true, at least there is one less thing to worry about from a medical standpoint, even if the rest of the information is entirely unsettling.

Once again, welcome back, Dr. Grey-Summers.

Cases 20100627a-d

Case Ref Num: 20100627a, 20100627b, 20100627c, 20100627d
Patient(s): Petrovic, Y.; Black, C.; Ford, K.; Corbo, J.
Entry by: Dr. McCoy
Regarding: Test Results

Dear Colleagues,

The test results for our four guests have returned and to say the least they are shocking. All four register on all spectrum as baseline human. It is as if their x-gene has simply been plucked from their being! While it's not unheard of for another mutant to be able to suppress another's gift for a short time and within proximity, I've never encountered a case like this before (though that doesn't say much because half the cases we get are unusual here at Xavier's).

We will continue to run tests, however I believe our best course of action may be to attempt tracking down this woman Y. Petrovic has identified as "Haven." Discussion of possible treatment options will occur at 10:00am tomorrow morning in my office, until then, get some rest, I'll be on call.

Sincerest Regards,
Dr. Henry McCoy

Do we know why?

Yvette is suddenly looking like she's wearing an image inducer without the image inducer? She's not using some kind of power suppressor again, is she? Because that sort of thing can be incredibly dangerous and we still don't know all the long term medical issues.

Current Mood: cranky

Rounds

Dr. McCoy? Is there anyone you want me to visit when I go up to feed my suitemate? I thought I could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I thought I might check on Jean-Paul tomorrow as well.

-sigh-

Well, it may be only noon but I can already tell we've got an overnighter on our hands. Our newest student, one Noriko Kikuchi, will be staying in the medlab at least for tonight while Amelia and I are running some tests. Standard in-patient rules apply, guys.

Notice

To all medlab volunteers and assistants,

Every weekend this month starting tomorrow afternoon, Dr. Voght and I will be holding an hour long discussion group on the basics of medical ethics, touching on medical responsibility, doctor-patient confidentiality, the patients' bill of rights and other topics. We are making it a requirement of all medlab workers that you attend at least one of these discussion groups. You are all welcome to come to more than one, because we do intend for these to be discussions not lectures, and if there are scheduling issues which prohibit you from attending any of them we ask that you contact one of us to schedule a personal meeting. Additionally, if you have any friends who are thinking about volunteering down here, or any who would be interested in the discussion whether or not they want to volunteer, you are more than free to invite them to join us. There will, of course, be tea, cocoa and cookies.

We know that, for many of you, this may seem to be fairly basic material as you all received some training in medical ethics before you began working down here but we ask that you consider this, not as a review of the basics but a reinforcement of the foundations of medical work. Something happened recently that has caused Amelia and myself to doubt how thorough the training we have been giving has been and so we've decided to start this group. If the discussions go well, we are considering continuing next month and beyond and opening the topics to include other matters of theoretical interest in the medical field.

Finally, if any of you no longer wish to be medical volunteers or consider the requirement of coming to one of these discussions too onerous a task we understand and will remove you from the volunteer rotation effective immediately.

-Dr. Jean Grey-Summers

Ah...

I couldn't help but notice the, er, exodus. Should I be heading in to help prepare for when they come back?

(no subject)

There was an incident with Marius a little earlier this evening and we're currently in emergancy shift mode. It was...a teleportation accident, to be honest, and we're in the middle of figuring out where that came from.

He's in critical condition, and unconscious, but Kyle and Jay reacted quickly and managed to stabilize him while Amelia was on her way up to them.

Amelia is working with him now and anyone who needs more information, please send them to the waiting room and I'll come out as soon as possible.
