Dr. Caledonia O'Caine

Doctor Caledonia Cadence O'Caine was an expert doctor of anatomy, medicine, physiology and toxicology from Halcyon.
Born in 1515 in the village of Shrikesroost in the western Danderillon, her parents were the noblewoman Lucille-Anne Farthington and Colin O'Caine, emeritus professor of Venomous Studies at the university in Halcyon. Her family moved to the city of then-Felonil. Caledonia earned three degrees - one in anatomy, one in toxicology, and a final in general medicine. She worked at the Florida Burns Memorial Hospital from its inception in 1553 - it was the largest medical surgery in the Danderillon, and she became Head Doctor of the practice in the 1560s. She held the post during the transition from Felonil to Halcyon in the 1560s, and through the advent of citywide electricity in the 1570s.
Also, in 1541, she married the notorious goblin gangster Warad Makotly, who she had been seeing for some years. 
Finally, Caledonia became quite famous in medical circles for several main achievements - she performed a septuple heart bypass during a 26-hour surgery unaided by technology, as well as something which had more sinister consequences - she performed the first artificial viable transfusion of silver blood from a mage to a non-mage. The procedure was seldom replicated by most physicians, but, it was her crowning achievement - artificially inducing magic-wielding in a person.
