THIRTY TWO | VOICE

[McCoy sounds, understandably, pretty stressed out. The infirmary is constantly understaffed, and when some of the people who usually help out are the people who decided to get themselves killed/used as human(oid) punching bags this weekend, it means the issue's even more apparent.

That said, there's a professionalism to the bark, because McCoy does his best when he's stressed out and has ten million things he has to do. It's just also useful to have a staff of people on hand for when these things happen.]

I need anyone with an extra set of hands and basic first aid knowledge down here five minutes ago. We've got a lot of pretty banged up people and I can't be everywhere at once.

For anyone who isn't down here and needs help, don't keep quiet about it. I can send someone up with a stretcher or help you walk so long as you let us know where you are. And if anyone's seriously injured, call me down before you move 'em, you'll just make things worse if you don't know what you're doing.

[ooc: If anyone wants McCoy (or one of the other non injured, surviving medical staff) spam or in a log, let me/us know, and feel free to spam off this entry.]

Yeah, I have, and I've got people bleeding internally and at risk of going into septic shock, so I've kinda got my hands full right now. [It's maybe a little more of a snap than he meant it to be, but it's stressful, being the only doctor, and with most of the support staff injured or death tolling, he's sort of running the show single handedly.]

Get her down here and I'll do what I can, but my priorty's on the people who're dying right now. Once they're settled, you've got my undivided attention, alright?

No, I know-- I just-- [And he backs off a little, because he knows exactly what that port was like, and what kind of shit the people who actually survived have to be dealing with. He runs a hand back and forth over his hair.] It's just-- important. Like personally.

[Well, he definitely gets that. Not the addict part, but the they're important to me and therefore the only thing that matters right now part.] She a friend of yours?

[Private]

[yeahscience]

...Something like that. [It feels weird to hesitate over Jane; in life, she'd been the one to balk, not him. But it's also still pretty weird to have her on the Barge, where, like, every other person ever was friends with his previous girlfriend, so yeah, hedging for the moment.]
