Posted by Cadet Emily James (Doctor) in Checking In with the CMO
If there was one thing Emily had learned from the Medical Academy, it was poise under pressure, the key to effective bedside manner. She was going to need as much as she could get. As a Cadet, she was barely qualified to put M.D. after her name and everything she did went through the Chief Medical Officer. Emily nervously pressed the door chime. Awaiting that first response was the most nerve racking moment.

OOC: Welcome aboard, Emily! That’s a great post, well done! On a different note, my character can be rather brisk and distant. It’s nothing personal, she just has some … issues ;)

Almost immediately after the chime rang, a voice from the other side of the door called, “Enter!”

As the doors swished open before her, Emily would be able to see a smallish office. Most of the wall opposite the door was taken up by windows. Against the left hand wall stood a comfortable looking couch with a oval-shaped glass coffee table in front of it and two matching overstuffed armchairs on each side. Slightly to the right of the stood a desk at angle, facing mostly towards the door. Behind the desk was small bookshelf filled with books and a few ornaments. In front of the desk stood two identical chairs, facing the desk. The only things on the desk were a personal computer and two neat stacks of PaDDs. Behind the desk sat a petite Bajoran woman. Her copper hair was tied back into a neat bun at the nape of her neck. Her face was covered in a number of pale brown, almost golden looking freckles and a gentle smile played across her lips and around her jade coloured eyes.

Rising to her feet, Tija Aizala gestured towards the chairs and said, “Welcome aboard, Cadet. You must be Emily James. Please have a seat.” Walking the three steps towards the replicator she continued, “Would you like something to eat or to drink?” And even though she smiled at the Cadet, there was a certain stiffness about the Chief Medical Officer.

“No, thank you.” Emily said in her light London accent. She sat down on the guest side of the CMO’s desk. She considered that some doctors were just cold and calculating by nature. Or by nurture.
