[chaotica]

[ Cambridge lounges, as usual, in his Starfleet uniform and communicator, in his quarters. ]

To all those who, as children, took refuge in my quarters: You're welcome, and if you took any toys, you can keep them.

As Morgana has announced, the Infirmary is once again under the care of one warden doctor (myself), one boy who adamantly denies he is a god of any kind (Dillon), and a quite talented sorceress (Morgana). I'll remind everyone that there is a second actually qualified doctor, the Emperor, who Morgana seems to like quite a bit but who I know nothing about.

For immediate, mortal and life-threatening wounds, as well as minor wounds if you don't mind magic, Morgana or Dylan are best. For diseases, poisons and other damages, the Emperor or myself would be best.

For your counseling needs, please ask Miss Jean Grey if you feel you are in need of gentle treatment or someone very knowledgeable of the Barge, and myself if you would like someone with more than thirty years experience counseling humans and aliens.

To the Infirmary staff: after discussion, we'll be retaining the schedule set by the vanished Dr. Cox with only a few minor modifications, because no one can be bothered to rewrite something that works.

[ Dear Admiral.... ]

Mason: A few pamphlets on drug addiction to emphasize the point that his feelings are not new ones.
Arkin: Something of his daughter’s.
Iris: Some creative new (possibly Risan) oils and lotions and things.
Abigail: A career aptitude test, with the note: This is for you to take, consider, and then utterly disregard. This is not given because of its guidance, but because of the possibilities it may open for you.
Jean: A few higher-level texts along the lines that he’s been tutoring her.
Anya: The recipe for Klingon raktajino, in case she’s interested in a coffee/caffeine alternative. Good, lightweight gloves and boots, a set of tools of further-along technology and a pamphlet on how to use them.
Loki: A three-dimensional chess set, holographic, and a book on rules and basic strategy.
Facilier: A few beautiful original-edition books, science fiction classics published after Facilier’s time.
Mewtwo: One of Cambridge’s personal and somewhat limited databases about non-humans in the Star Trek universe. It contains mostly a study of quite a few obscure aliens, their deep mythology and the beginnings of their reach for technology. Some that may be intriguing for a curious mind. - Cambridge
Ian & Mickey: Anonymously, a pamphlet on bipolar disorder and caring for it. This includes basic medical information as well as treatment options and side effects. No misinformation.
Dillon: An old, lovely rosary.
T’pol: Every major Vulcan philosophy and scientific text of the 22nd century, starting around the time Cambridge thinks that Earth might have conquered Vulcan. More where that came from. - Cambridge
Morgana: Basic medical texts.

Comments

[notdreaming]

Dr. Cox was teaching me about diagnostics. I don't know if you want me to stick around, or...?

[routemistress]

There's also - I never stuck in one place long enough to get officially qualified for anything, you understand, but I'm a very capable massage therapist. Among other things. I can pass for a decent physiotherapist and all, I 'elped Captain Bush get used to 'is new leg.

Just putting meself out there for if anyone wants to explore alternative therapies. I specialise in unusual problems where you get no choice but outside the box.

[maced_eggs]

An' who do we go to for our daily routine pain medications, Doctor?

[youwillgotohell]

Was there any purpose in pointing that out?

[mercurialize]

We haven't had a chance to speak yet. Dr. Cox hired me, if you can call it that. I was doing the pharmacy work. Just wondering if I still have my job.

[irishrotter]

I understand that the previous doctor had an arrangement with Kieren Walker, one of the wardens. It won't be needed any longer.

[private]

[exnihilo]

I'd like to make an appointment.

Medical, not psychological.

[She is nervous about this. Bone-deep wariness she is barely overcoming, though it's not fear of him or doctors particularly. She's afraid that she doesn't really want to know the answers to her questions.]

[punched_hitler]

If it works, I definitely say we keep it. I'm happy to stick around if I'm useful. [He still doesn't have much in the way of formal medical training, but that doesn't mean he won't use what he knows. Or provide some muscle if it's needed.]

And thanks for taking care of me, last week.

[warisart]

Sir. Dr. Cox attempted to contact me during my absence and disappeared before I was able to get into touch with him. Do you still require my presence on the on call staff?

[changeitroundsome]

Was the actually qualified comment really necessary?

[persecutioncomplex]

She isn't gentle. [That's never a good adjective in this place, in connotations at least. Softness means an inability to survive here, and Jean has a strong enough grip on her own mind that she's anything but.]
