Maybe the head nurse looks and acts like Medusa....

Gorgon for brain, snakes for hair?

PennyLane, RN · May 19, 2003

Was Gorgon the name of Medusa's brain, and is she a patient of Kenshi's?

I'm confused.

Kensi - you will have ot clear this upp for us we are a little confused about what you said. Don't worry - even for those of us born and bred in English speaking countries - English is a really tricky language.

Japan was 6:49. It is a morning. I can come back. By the way, can't you understand English which I wrote? I am really sorry.

P_RN, ADN, RN · May 19, 2003

Yes you may come back.

We know the words but not the way you use them.

Friend's hair looks like snakes?

Medusa was a Gorgon.
The Gorgons are three sisters, daughters of ancient, pre-titan gods, Phorkys and Keto. The sisters Sthenno and Euryale were immortal but the third, Medusa, was mortal. All three were so hideous, the shock of seeing them would turn anyone to stone. Medusa is called The Gorgon or simply, Gorgon.
When Perseus (a son of Zeus) killed Medusa by cutting off her head (Theogony 280), from the drops of her blood sprang Pegasus and Khrysaor. In The Shield of Herakles by Hesiod, we are given a glimpse of Perseus' reckless escape from the angry sisters after he had beheaded Medusa. He was wearing winged sandals and the Helm of Hades but the Gorgons were at his heels, the serpents on their heads and at their waists were snapping at Perseus as he sped away (Sword 220).
Athene carried the aegis of Zeus at Troy. The gigantic head of Gorgon, a thing of fear and horror, was the centerpiece of a series of warcraft icons: Terror, Hatred and Onslaught
