Headcanon - Injury Recovery MC

I did a little something for myself - warming up my writing skills

What if MC had an injury that she needs a treatment plan for. how would the guys react?

Sherlock Holmes

He’s no doctor but Sherlock seems to have extensive knowledge of the exercises and stretches you’ve been assigned.  While you may never see him doing it, after your injury Sherlock spent time going over additional research on your type of injury, enough that when the doctor would advise certain treatments Sherlock would interrupt to ask the doctor why they felt that one had more merit over other treatments Sherlock had read about.  Healing badly can have long term effects, and there is no way he will let that happen if he can help it.

John Watson

He respects what your doctor has suggested, It isn’t his field, and he is happy that you are following what they have recommended.  However, that doesn’t stop him from doing his own examinations when he has a moment alone with you, to see how you’re healing.  If any of the other guys try to talk you into other exercises or treatments he scolds them about possibly putting you in danger of exasperating your injury.  Even if he brings up the treatment idea later to explain in detail how something may help, and that you two should discuss it with your doctor.  

James Moriarty

James is happy to help you with every stretch.  Will insist on either watching the way you do it or getting hands on.  After you were injured you saw at least 3 doctors on how to proceed before James decided which doctor was best suited for the job of making sure his Robin was okay. 

Mycroft Holmes

He has reports sent back to him on your progress and has your sessions recorded for review.  If he can then he will sit in on your sessions, his eyes fixed on you, watching your every move, and correcting your form before your therapist has a chance to do so.  Or helping you at home with at home physical therapy.  

Jack Stillman

He is not a fan of other doctors helping out the person he cares about.  He will insist on being there with you when you talk to your doctor, he will look relaxed the entire time but neither you or your doctor see how tense he gets when the other doctor touches you.  Any examinations the doctor does is followed by a personal examination when you two are alone so he can confirm the doctor was not mistaken.

Sebastian Moran

Sebastian will take notes and make sure you do exactly what the doctor recommends you do.  It’s hard to say no to him, when he ushers you over to a chair to sit down to elevate and heat your injury, or when he picks you up carefully so he can bring you to an open space for physical therapy if you try to put it off.  There are only a few ways he can help, and ensuring you follow your doctor’s orders is one way he can show you how much he worries about you.

Jeremy Cassel

What the doctor advised is all well and good, but how about a massage?  Physical therapy or heating and chilling your injury are wonderful things that should be done if the doctor recommends it.  However, he’s sure that a massage would also help.  It also helps him gage your pain and the limitations of your movement.  He doesn’t want to hurt you accidentally later.

Hercule Poirot

Will have a list of what the doctor said to do, and a list of things that you shouldn’t do.  He will tease and chide you if you stray from your doctor’s orders.  While you may not notice yourself getting better, Hercule does, and will use that information to encourage you with how you’re doing better than yesterday.

Arthur Hastings

Constantly checking if you’re alright, asking how you’re feeling.  Either in person or sending you messages throughout the day.  The man seems to be tracking how you’re doing through the day so when you have a check up with the doctor he’ll have notes with questions prepared for you to bring.  Regarding the time it’s taking to heal or any pains you have felt.

George Lestrade

No matter the degree in which you’re hurting.  Sprain, fracture, whatever kind of injury.  He will believe that you’re severely hurt, and while he means well, he will be a detriment to your physical therapy or getting back to how life was before.  But as soon as it gets through to him that this is good for you he’ll back off and cheer you on throughout your recovery process. 

Mikah Hudson

He will come back to you with additional things to try that he found online.  He would listen to others for recommendations, and he would talk to you about everything the doctor recommends.  Showing how much he has paid attention and how much he cares about what’s happened to you.  

Henry Jekyll

This is not his field of expertise, but he is happy to listen to you talk about what your doctor has said. He will check in with you, asking how your healing is going, if you need to talk to your doctor if there are any additional pains or discomfort.  Otherwise, it’s just like every other day, but you will notice how he seems to go out of his way to make sure not to disturb your injury when you two are out, or just hanging together.  

Edward Hyde

Injuries SUCK.  He knows this very well.  He also knows what can happen if you do not follow the doctor’s orders and try to push it.  He’ll always continue to push his, but this is a case of do as he says not as he does.  He will ask questions and make some recommendations based off of things doctors have had him done in the past with similar injuries.  

Irene

She was very sour when you first got hurt, she tries to make sure that you understand that she was not upset with you.  After every doctor’s visit she will be outside waiting for you and is happy to escort you home, or to run errands together.  Whenever it comes to your injury she does run a little cold, and asks matter of fact questions, but the rest of the time she is very sweet as she helps take care of you

James: I am not a sweet and loving person. I am stone cold and nothing can break me.

Jack: You literally got all teary eyed when MC walked into the room wearing your sweatshirt and had bed head from just waking up. And when Sebastian asked if you were okay you responded with, "MC is so cute I might actually die"

James: Did I ask for your opinion?
