@Wade Wilson

Hospital?! What happened?

And don't worry about it.

@SgtEasy

Screaming my head off because of a pain in my stomach. Turns out, I might need to have my spleen and gallbladder removed in the near future.

[SgtEasy]

@Wade Wilson

Oh. That's... shit. You better now?

[Wade Wilson]

@Wade Wilson

Oh. That's... shit. You better now?

@SgtEasy

Yeah. My mum's going to a meeting in April to decide if/when to remove them.

[SgtEasy]

@Wade Wilson

Well, hope those organs get removed quickly if it hurts that much. And surgery is the next step? Never had some thing as serious as that. Sucks.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Wade Wilson Dude, no worries!!!! Catch up when you can! Jeez ~hugs~ hope you're feeling better hun.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Wade Wilson Oh ouch, I had mine removed years ago - the surgery isn't as bad as you would think and recovery is a lot quicker these days than it used to be. It will suck and your digestive track will never be the same but it is livable. ~hugs~ Hope they take care of it soon.

He’s trusting to a fault, a trait that has made him a great psychiatrist, where establishing trust between you and the patient is crucial. Despite the constant stress of his job, he loves helping people and is quite worried about how his paitients are faring while he is away.
Edric has a sharp wit and heartily enjoys a good laugh. He also finds reality to be a bit mundane, which has lead him to be an avid fan of fantasy novels, games, and films.

This has lead him to develop a crippling fear of failure.

History

A Memory: It was midnight when he got the call. He saw that it was from one of his patients, a man with clinical depression, and smiled wearily. Despite being exhausted, he never passed up an opportunity to help someone. He answered to the crying voice of the man’s wife telling him that the man had hung himself. He Stayed up all night, sometimes crying, sometimes screaming. When he woke in the morning after an hour of sleep, he realised he could dwell on it no longer, he had people to help, hopefully lives to save.
History: Edric was born to middle-class parents in Bathgate, England. He lived a fairly stable early life, picking up his mother’s sharp wit and his father’s intellect. He graduated Valedictorian from his school. He then moved out of the country to study at UC Berkeley in the United States.
He studied hard, earning his doctorate after seven years. He became a citizen of the United States and moved to Seattle. In Seattle, he became a semi-famous Psychiatrist. He also wrote under the pseudonym “Evan Tiesman”, releasing two short stories and a novel to moderate success. As he was beginning to think about quitting his psychiatry to focus on writing full time, one of his patients died. Blaming himself for not paying enough attention to his work as a psychiatrist, he took an indefinite hiatus from writing.
He heard of the drawing for tickets aboard the Orient Express while watching the news after a late night of work. He paid little attention at the time, but as work generated more and more stress, the idea of riding the Orient Express sounded more and more appealing. He received the package at the supermarket while shopping for groceries. He immediately got two friends in the psychiatry business to cover his patients for two weeks and left for Europe.
