That is correct, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make other than that you know what Apothecaries do. But I'll tell you what happened anyway.
The last of the Apothecaries were killed in the Third War for Armageddon, with less than 96 lions left alive. At the war's end the chapter were given a cruiser by Black Templars and a force of black Templars to accompany them and assist in the rebuilding of their chapter, so I guess If I wanted to I could play a newly trained Apothecary however he certainly wouldn't be in the Deathwatch. I would just like to point out that this is not some home-brew chapter, the story is very much in the lore.
Alright, I didn't read what you posted before, but all I want to say is, yes, Jbcool is correct, I just wanted to know. You are correct, if all of their Apothicaries were killed, the last thing they would do is give them one of the only people capable of preserving the remains of their chapter. I love the almost-decimated chapters, it's always an interesting story to see what a desperate group will do to retain their honour and their chapter. May be an interesting story to see how low one lone apothecary will sink to assure his chapter remains.
Also, just because something is in lore, doesn't mean it makes sense. After all, the Blood Angels-Necrons BFFs story is still in canon, as is the Grey Knights in Hats incident.
That's not a "YOU ARE WRONG AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD!" Statement, it's more a "Oh Gee-dubs, you so crazy!"
