A surgeon with a near-flawless track record 🧠

There aren't many respectable neurosurgeons born where Isabella Hebert grew up, in rural Hazard, KY. Especially not any quite as visually captivating as her. She spent the majority of her life dedicating herself to the intricacies of the most delicate type of surgery, that of the brain. Four years of undergraduate studies, four years of medical school, and seven years of fellowship training, all at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University. A mound of debt and 15 years of training was all for nothing when Dr. Hebert made the worst mistake of her life.

It was supposed to be a simple neuroma removal operation, it had been scheduled for months. Her patient was Jimmy Jerksworth, she didn't know much about him besides the fact that he had a brain tumor that needed to be removed. Everything was going smoothly, up until the part where Mr. Jerksworth decided to speak mid-surgery. In case you are not aware, most neurosurgeons do awake craniotomy, which means the patient is not put to sleep during the procedure.

Jimmy was slightly sedated and a bit out of it, but that is no excuse for what happened next. Less than an hour into a surgery that was to last 6-12 hours total, Jerksworth's mouth was said to have uttered something unforgivable. He may or may not have slammed Isabella with the nastiest racial slur one could voice. This immediately enraged her and brought her back to her high school years when she had been mistreated by her abundantly racist classmates back home in Kentucky. This is the part where things went south for both Isabella and Jimmy.

Isabella's immediate reaction was to nip an integral nerve, right in front of everyone else in the OR. This caused Jimmy Jerksworth to be stricken with a severe case of agnosia. He would forever be absent of the ability to recognize the form and nature of persons and things. Now the man-child constantly drools and tries to deep throat every single straw that he comes in contact with. His family claims that he is mentally retarded in order to draw financial aid checks from the government while they waste away. Nobody really knows exactly what is wrong with Jimmy, but as his family puts it "He just ain't right no more".

As for Isabella Hebert (formerly Dr. Hebert), she lost her license and was sentenced to 10 years at a heavily guarded correctional facility. It took some adjusting, but she eventually found her way. She was released early thanks to the "Good Time" program and her flawless behavior. Jimmy's family died off and he didn't even understand what prison was anymore, so nobody was there to argue when she was back on the streets only a couple of years after the terrible incident at the hospital.

Truthfully, Isabella got out early due to the fact that she developed a love triangle with the warden and a correctional officer, who just so happened to be the warden's stud wife. While in prison, Isabella garnered the nickname Lady Zorro. It was long rumored that she would stealthfully slice up any female in her hall that refused to eat her kitty anytime that she demanded. Eventually, the warden's sadistic mind was intrigued and it was all said and done after that.

You may wonder what Isabella Hebert is up to now that she is out of the pen and no longer working as a neurosurgeon at the hospital. She has discovered a revolutionary way to use her skills in the underground circuit. She has become one of the most sought-after biohackers in the world and can do pretty much anything. She is one of the few people who are capable of installing the top-secret brain chip rumored to be manufactured by Elon Musk's own Neuralink team. She may not officially be Dr. Isabella Hebert anymore, but the streets know her quite well as Doc Zorro. She hasn't made one operational mistake since the incident with Jimmy Jerksworth. Thankfully, she hasn't been called the forbidden N-word again either and hopes that it never happens again since she still hasn't learned how to control her rage.

I have written backstories for 10 of my other Hive Punks. I think that these characters deserve to live a life, rather than just be a pixelated .JPG file.
