Stephen:
It isn't the students in the infirmary who concern me; I'd gladly take on help if my patients agree. It's the potential for oversight at a level I'm not comfortable with, by a woman who for all intents and purposes has never been qualified by an exam board, as far as I can tell.
The first case is that of an apparent psychic vampire; he does not require any particular ingestion to survive, and indeed eats food and drinks water like any man. But he has extraordinary powers, and those are powered by him draining a 'life force' from humans.
The condition being treated is this: as a result, he has an extraordinary power of attraction. I have enclosed a clinical journal he kept at my behest; you see how the nature and number of these encounters are absolutely extraordinary. This attraction is out of his control, and this is what we are hoping to manage.
My only concern with transfiguring organic materials would be the potential for rot -- I am certain that could also be managed through magical as well as mundane means. A graft is something easily done to living tissue in my time. I'm sure the techniques we employ could be adapted to magical uses quite easily.
No progress has been made on that case as yet. I will let you know when I work out why.
I am functional if not adept with sword in hand; fencing is required learning for a particular class on my home world, and my Father always insisted I go above and beyond the required.
If you do manage to work out who took the photographs, let me know. I'd like to have a discussion with them.
