Jack Abbot headcanons that are so important to me.
Major Jack Christopher Abbot, MD, 75th Ranger Regiment, Medical Officer. 46 years old.
Grew up in Oklahoma. Rode bulls in his teens. 3 brothers, all military as well. Mom is a saint, dad was a racist alcoholic asshole that never really left Vietnam.
Joined the Army straight out of high school.
Met Maggie Johnson in med school, where she was a nursing student. Married at 23, one month before deploying to Afghanistan in 2002. His dad never forgave him for marrying a black woman.
Met Robby in New Orleans in 2005 after Katrina. Stayed in touch over the years.
Did 5 tours. 3 in Afghanistan, 2 in Iraq. Lost his leg in 2015 when his Humvee rolled over an IED. He was the only survivor.
Started therapy after he woke up with his hands around Maggie’s throat, lost in a PTSD spiral. Made his first serious attempt that same night.
Maggie died in a car accident in 2017. Drunk driver. Second, and last, serious attempt the day after her funeral.
Takes sertraline for his PTSD, prazosin for nightmares, trazodone for sleep, and propranolol as needed for occasional hyperarousal. Gabapentin for phantom limb pain.
Joined PTMC in 2019 when Robby called and offered the job.
Met Samira Mohan in 2021. Fell in lust with her somewhere between 2023 and 2025. Most likely fell head over ass at Robby’s cookout the summer of 2026. Her hair was down and he’d made her laugh so hard she cried. He can’t remember what it was he said.
Went to Maggie’s grave the next day. Told her all about Samira. Let her know he’d never stop loving her, even when he loved someone new. Took his ring off that night. It stays in a keepsake box with all his most precious possessions.
