Biography
This section needs a rewrite |
Early Life
Christime Palmer began working at Metro-General Hospital, where she developed a relationship with colleague Stephen Strange but later broke off the relationship due to his ego.
Despite this, she remained Strange's closest friend and continued to work alongside him, even helping him come up with new surgical techniques.[1]
The Strange Policy
- "I have a very strict rule against dating colleagues."
"Oh really?"
"I call it the strange policy." - ―Christine Palmer and Stephen Strange[src]
During her career working at the Metro-General Hospital, Palmer came up with a very strict policy which would be known as the "strange policy" named after her fellow colleague, Doctor Stephen Strange who she was in a relationship with previously. When Strange asked if she and Nicodemus West were sleeping together, Palmer informed Strange of her policy which he sarcastically stated that he was glad something's was named after him.[1]
Helping Strange Recover
- "There are other things that can give your life meaning."
"Like what? Like you?"
"And this is the part where you apologize." - ―Christine Palmer and Stephen Strange[src]
After the accident that's left Stephen Strange without the use of his hands, Palmer visited Strange in the hospital and tried to support him and get him to move on. Palmer came to Strange in his apartment and tried to convince him that there were other things that could give meaning to his life. However, Strange did not want to move on but instead find some way of healing his hands.[1]
Operating Room
- "Where have you been?"
"I went to a place called Kamar-Taj and I talked to someone called the Ancient One and..."
"Oh, so you joined a cult?"
"No, I didn't. No, well, not exactly. They did teach me to tap into powers I never even knew existed."
"Yeah, that sounds like a cult."
"It's not a cult."
"Well, that's what a cultist would say." - ―Christine Palmer and Stephen Strange[src]
Palmer was still working at the hospital after Strange left for the Kamar-Taj. He returned after being stabbed by Kaecilius and asked her to operate him alone. Palmer was shocked, bewildered and horrified when Strange's Astral appeared to assist with the operation on himself. While operating on Strange, Palmer was informed about all the Strange has been doing and how he went to Kamar-Taj and met the Ancient One which Palmer believed that Strange had joined a cult.
He managed to calm her down long enough for her to perform the operation but she became nervous after objects in the room began shaking (due to Strange's Astral fight with the Zealot which she could not see).
Treating The Ancient One
Later she was part of the operating team on the dying Ancient One after the sorceress was stabbed and thrown from a great height by Kaecilius. The operation was unsuccessful and she later comforted Strange over his mentor's death.[1]

Behind the Scenes
- Kevin Feige commented they used Christine Palmer over Strange's traditional love interest Clea because, "We wanted a grounded character. We wanted a character that was a connection to Strange's life in New York City, in the normal world. Somebody that could be his anchor to the real world, to his present in the beginning of the film, and by the time he re-encounters her, wearing that, someone who can comment on his transformation as a character."[2]
