If not for [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]], '''Mad Dok Grotsnik''' would probably be dead by now (Vice versa is also true, however). The [[Ork]] equivalent of the [[Team Fortress 2]] Medic, this madman (or [[Ork Boy#Madboyz|madork]]) cares for nothing more than perfecting the art of 'serjery'. Due to constant [[Cyborks|bionic upgrades]] and such, he's now more demented than ever. In particular, his madness started after some [[Nob|Nobz]] saw that the new [[Warboss]] was a dead 'ard killing machine after this guy welded his skull back together with [[Adamantine#In W40K|adamantium]]. They decided they liked the idea, and all the Nobz in the settlement came to him for the same treatment.

Grotsnik decided he might want some insurance when the Nobz realized that a metal skull doesn't equate to being blessed by [[Gork]] and [[Mork]], and wanted leverage in case they got on his bad side. So Grotsnik hid a [[Grenades & Explosives|grenade]] under each new skull he fitted, and whenever a Nob crossed Grotsnik, he later came down with a case of exploding head. Pissed off when they found out, but unable to confront him directly for fear of literally losing their heads, the Nobz arranged for him to have an "accident" with a [[Deff Dred]] that they thought would kill him. The end result was an almost dead Grotsnik with his own head sliced open.

But he wasn't dead, and Grotsnik ended up on his own 'serjery' table to be worked upon by his [[Gretchin]] assistants. They somehow did manage to resuscitate him despite one of them puking onto his brain and another losing his pet [[spider]] in Grotsnik's skull. While an impressive feat for Gretchin, they were still Gretchin, so they didn't actually do that great of a job when working out how to reassemble his brain pan. Back from the dead, a little worse for wear but with his memory intact, Grotsnik celebrated [[Grimdark|with fireworks]] to show that ''you don't fuck with Grotsnik!''

== Currently ==

Just like with the Medic, any actual healing that this lunatic grants you is [[Grimdark|<i>simply a fortunate side-effect</i>]]. The only reason he's still allowed to keep doing his thing is because he's the one who patched Ghazghkull's skull with adamantium after it got blasted apart by a lucky [[Bolter]] round. In return, Ghazghkull was grateful not just for Grotsnik saving his life, but also because the surgery gave him the famous vision by [[Gork]] and [[Mork]] to conquer the galaxy.

Grotsnik actually has a seat on Ghaz's inner council and Ghaz still lets him operate on him. Every once in a while, Grotsnik is actually lucid and [[Sanity|sane]], and during these moments he's both a smart doctor and a good advisor that's actually saved Ghaz's life on several other occasions. That the mad doctor suspiciously becomes sane whenever Ghaz needs him for something really lends weight to Ghaz's claim that Gork and Mork are watching over him. Recently, he is experimenting on creating Franken-Ork, forming "Da Corpse Lootas" consisting of [[Deathskulls]], [[Painboy]]z, [[Freebooterz]], and his own "Stitchboyz" to steal dead bodies from the battlefield (and make them if there are none) for Grotsnik to use as spare parts. Even more recently he seems to have managed to perform the Frankenstein treatment on Ghazghkull himself. After [[Ragnar Blackmane]] went and chopped Ghaz’s head off (though not before Ghaz beat the wolf so badly he needed [[Primaris Marine|the Primaris treatment]] to survive) the Mad Ork was once more forced to save his boss’ life, this time by attaching his head onto a new even bigger body <s>conveniently giving [[GW]] an excuse to sell new models of both Ghaz and Ragnar</s>.

== On the Tabletop ==

On the tabletop, he can make any unit Fearless, and grants it Feel No Pain as well. He can even upgrade another squad with Cybork bodies, including [[Meganobz]]. The best bit stem from the fact that he's ''One Scalpel Short of a Medpack'' (no, like, that's the rule's actual name), which means he gives his squad ''Rampage'', and the rule that he's not allowed to leave units by default. Him upgrading a squad of regular Orks is a prohibitively expensive cost, so he's much better with Meganobs since they're more likely to be outnumbered in a scrap and thus take advantage of ''Rampage''.
