Nurse Rosaline Mayborn

Name and rank: Nurse Rosaline Mayborn

Occuptation: Former nurse of Royal Victoria Hospital/Former Cottage institute nurse

Status:  Incarceration in Bethlem Royal Hospital Unknown

Nurse Mayborn was committed to Bethlem Royal Hospital after the discovery she had been involved in the work of Surgeon Joseph White.

Mayborn suffers from acute masochistism, exhibiting great pleasures in both the infliction of painful proceedures on herself, and even in witnessing them being performed upon others (though not in the idea of an alternative recipient being in pain - rather she percieves their experiences to be pleasurable to them, as they are her).

During her time working with Dr. White, it is believed she allowed him to perform various unnecessary and medical exploratory surgeries upon herself, as well as having taken medical equipment to herself over a course of years, with increased frequency during her tenure in The Cottage Institute.

It is theorised that whilst working for Dr.White she encouraged patients to the practise and to agree more willingly to the surgeon's demands, through a warped method of seduction and implied "appreciation". Given the results of her and the surgeon's operations, it is however unlikely any patient/client was ever able to realise this desire.

Once incarcerated in Bethlem Royal, Mayborn demonstrated great frustration at not being able to work in the medical profession or to "help" mankind further. The former nurse was required to be constantly restrained and kept in safe enviroments away from any thing that may be used in the fashion of a weapon, for self surgery or harm.

On incarceration, a Bethlem Royal psychiatric report read:

"The "Nurse" Rosaline Mayborn is not to be trusted. She may seem as though she genuinely wishes to help people, and she may seem genuinely attracted to you or others. There is no such desire within her, other than to further her "medical" practises. She will use threats as equally and frequently as sexual inuendo. However, without knowing more of her past it is difficult to say whether she may be treated or cured. She certainly holds a firm and full knowledge of medicine, perhaps rivalling some doctors. She is to be considered a threat to herself more than others, but must be closely observed at all times for this reason."
