As interesting a history lesson as that flood was, I could've done without turning into a chain smoker. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the smell out of stuff?

For any of you new people, I'm Doctor Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer of the starship Enterprise and head of the infirmary here. We're kinda short staffed at the moment, so if there's anyone who wants to lend a hand, let me know and we'll try to work something out. Inmates'll need to get permission from their warden before they're allowed on staff.

Any new arrivals should come down to the infirmary whenever they're able for a medical exam. It takes five minutes, is no touch and the results are confidential. We use them to create a medical baseline in case something happens while you're on board.

[Private to Spock]

You've been awful quiet lately.

[Private to T'Pol]

You alright? [Dat flood man. :|]

[Private to Arya]

How're you doing, kid?

Actually, lending a hand was something I wanted to talk to you about, Doctor.

Private

[imaythrowuponyou]

Yeah? Merlin, right?

Private

[takeyouapart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's me.

[Pause. Still kind of awkward getting into the whole 'lol so I'm a wizard' thing with strangers.]

Uh, when Martha was running the infirmary, I know Severus was working there to provide healing magic - spells, potions, that sort of thing. I've been helping in emergencies for a while now, but with Severus gone I thought it would be a good idea if I could...take over for him.

Private

[imaythrowuponyou]

That'd be great. I'm guessing your style of doing stuff's a little different from his?

Private

[takeyouapart.livejournal.com]

My bedside manner's much better, for one thing.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

[Sob dat flood :c] Well enough. [She does not want to think about it. :c]

[Private]

[imaythrowuponyou]

You need anything? [lol oh how he gets that. :|]

[Private]

[with_discipline]

[She was going to say no, but.] I would appreciate an analgesic.

[Private]

[imaythrowuponyou]

You want to come down or should I find you?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

So you're Dr. Jones's replacement, huh?

[He hasn't yet realized Bones is one of the guys he ran into as Sergeant Harris - which is kinda helped by how different he looks from his counterpart.]

[Video]

[imaythrowuponyou]

[You mean less scruffy and WWIIish?]

Guess so.

[Video]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

[lol, exactly. :c]

I wanna know if she got rid of my baseline when she left. I think she would, but I wanna be sure.

[Private - Video]

[imaythrowuponyou]

Pretty sure the files are exactly as she left them. Why?

[Private]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[WARY. NOT COMING IN FOR YOUR STUPID EXAMINE, OKAY.]

Fine.

[Private]

[imaythrowuponyou]

[SIGH.]

You get through that flood okay?

[Private]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[don't you sigh at me >|]

I wasn't changed.

...I think Viserys was his brother.

[Private]

[imaythrowuponyou]

[I will sigh at whoever I want to!]

He was?

Private

[aka-heisenberg.livejournal.com]

I need an exam. I feel fine, but that's been a false positive before. I've spent a lot of time with doctors lately and I have never heard of an exam that doesn't involve touching or takes five minutes. I'll need a more in depth visit than that.

Private

[imaythrowuponyou]

We've got advanced technology on board that doesn't require any invasive procedures or touch to get done, but if you'd really rather we do something more similar to what you're used to, we can work something out.

Private

[aka-heisenberg.livejournal.com]

Any chance I can get an overview of how it works before someone starts scanning me with it?

Private

[imaythrowuponyou]

[And we are going to handwave an accurate explanation of what a medical tricorder is capable of, because Star Trek never felt the need to actually you know. Explain the science. :V]

[surfaceshine]

So, normally I would avoid anything remotely resembling a hospital like it carries the plague, but this is pretty convenient. I'm new, and I need a bit of patching up. I'm headed in.

[He doesn't sound happy about this, but he's resigned.]

[ Voice ]

[imaythrowuponyou]

What happened?

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Apparently there are lions. You guys should think about a better pest control service.

[ Voice ]

[imaythrowuponyou]

I'm a doctor, it's not my job to go roaming around the halls looking for lions. You need help getting here?
