What if Hiccup and Astrid worked at a hospital

(All credit to the artist)

It had been a few days since a woman by the name of Avery Sorenson had been brought in with an unknown illness. All of the staff at Berk Regional Hospital were trying to figure out what she had and how to cure it.

"Hey Astrid, can you pull up the file on Mrs. Avery Sorenson?" Dr. Hiccup Haddock asked.

"Sure thing Hiccup," Nurse Astrid Hofferson - soon to be Haddock - said, going to the computer to do so, "It appears Dr. Henderson has her in isolation, just to make sure whatever she has isn't contagious."

"Hmmm so no one knows what she has? No break throughs?" Hiccup asked, leaning over Astrid's shoulder.

"Not one....It appears to be some kind of older virus....Like a different form of the Chicken Pox."

As Astrid scrolled through the woman's files, Hiccup looked over each on before spotting something that made him gasp.

"Hold up. Astrid, go back to that chart," Hiccup said.

Astrid did so, though confused. Hiccup scanned over the chart before quickly grabbing his cell phone from his pocket. Astrid and the rest of the staff on the 3rd floor watched as Hiccup called a number and began to pace.

"It can't be this..." he mumbled.

"Hello?"

"Dad? I need your help."

"Oh really? With what?" Stoick Haddock asked.

"I've got a patient in isolation. No one knows what she has...But I have a hunch...Is Grandma Gothi there?"

"Yeah. What do you want to know?"

"What are the symptoms of Eel Pox? I know I had it when I was little...."

All the staff and patients stopped what they were doing and looked at the young doctor. Astrid went and pushed Hiccup into his office, and then said, "Go back to what you were doing!"

She walked in with a chart and closed the door. Hiccup was sitting on his desk as his dad was trying to get his friend to translate what Hiccup's grandma had said.

"Astrid as soon as I tell you what the symptoms are write them down," Hiccup said, looking her dead in the eye.

"Yes sir," Astrid said, pen ready.

"Okay.... It starts with chills, violent sneezing, coughing, and a slight paleness....next it's delusions and changes in characters..." Hiccup said, slowly as Astrid wrote it all down.

"Got it," She said.

"Is there a cure? Wait...that's a stupid question on my part...." Hiccup chuckled, "Okay..... 1 Buckthorn Root, lightly roasted, a handful of goat weed, 1 wild dagga plant, a dozen rock blossoms, and a bloodvein eel.......Thanks dad....See you later. Yup. Right. Bye."

"Got it all down. Should we go see our patient with Eel Pox?" Astrid asked.

"We shall m'lady," Hiccup said, grabbing his white coat and stethoscope.

Together they went up to the 5th floor where the isolation ward was. The nurse at the desk quickly stood and blocked them from going in.

"Nurse. Out of our way please," Hiccup said, eyes narrowing a bit.

"Sorry doctor. Dr. Henderson won't let anyone in there."

Hiccup and Astrid shared a look. Hiccup stepped forward and said, "Dr. Henderson doesn't make the rules on who I can and can't see. Mrs. Sorenson is my patient. I know what's wrong. Now step aside."
