First Aid for Fandom | Thursday, period 1
"Good morning," Hannibal said, nodding to the students. "This is the class on first aid for Fandom; if you aren't in the right place, you may leave, but you might want to remain regardless." He waved to a table off to the side. "There are coffee, tea, and pastries."
He smiled. "Which might be considered their own sort of first aid, knowing the reliance people often place on mild stimulants such as caffeine and sugar."
He was drinking coffee himself, as it happened. "For those of you who may not know me, I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter. I generally teach cooking or food-related classes, but I thought I would take a slight detour this semester, since this is a subject many people sorely need."
Pun fully intended, naturally.
"If you are wondering, I am in fact a medical doctor as well as a PhD. I received my doctorate from Paris Descartes, and completed my internship and recertification at Johns Hopkins as a trauma surgeon." Because high school students here absolutely cared about his credentials.
"We will be covering any number of first aid procedures and practices, but as today is traditionally for introductions, please," he gestured to them, "introduce yourselves by name, let me know what sort of place you're coming from, and tell us all what sort of experience you have in healing or medicine and what you would hope to encounter in this class. And please, all of you, feel free to rearrange your chairs and desks in any way you like, sit on the floor, or walk about, as you please."
