As he walked to sickbay, the itching in his left hand got considerably worse, he tried to resist the urge to scratch it, but it was almost unbearable.

John-King walked through the doors of sickbay slowly, a lot of hard memories in places like this for him over the years - the regular visits to get the medication he needed for the left hand, then the full physical following his adventures in the mirror universe, then the constant review of his suitability for active service in the Federation. Then, when he eventually resigned his commission, his health was maintained by a private doctor, and so this was the first time he stepped inside a Federation sickbay in quite some time.

He saw a young Medical Officer and went to her, she was a Bajoran, a crewman.

“Nurse,” he said, “I’m John-King McKenzie, JK for short. I need my next round of medicatoin.”

Taw Yllek, the Nurse to which John-King spoke, looked up from her task when he addressed her, motioning to a biobed, she said, “please get up there. Mr McKenzie, I’m Taw Yllek one of the nurses.” She looked at her padd and said, “ok, this says that your left hand interferes with technology if it gets too close and you get both a shot and some medication. Dr Rajesh prescibed your current medication to you, and this tells me you should have been here last week. You can’t afford to get behind on this, Mr McKenzie, has anything on board been impacted negatively by your left hand over the past week?”

John-King sighed at her lecture, he didn’t need it, but there it was, “I’ve been very careful, Nurse Taw,” he replied, “I have been keeping it at a safe distance from technology and only use my right hand. I’ve also been frightfully busy in the lounge, it’s a big ship and without the drinks and food, others won’t be able to do their work. My hand is itching uncontrollably. Being late for the medication is not something I make a habit of, but this time has been the worse in terms of itching. I could happtily cut the hand off it is so uncomfortabe.”

“Nurse, can you give me my medication, or get someone over who can do so?” JK asked politely.

“I’ll get Doctor Summers, Mr McKenzie,” Nurse Taw told him. The Nurse found Dr Summers, handed her the padd with the information on JK’s medical history and said, “Doctor, Mr McKenzie wants to see you for his checkup and his medication, can you attend to him, please?”

Ashlynn came over “Mr. McKenzie, welcome aboard. How are you?” SHe asked glancing at the PaDD “How can I help you?” She asked leading the way to one of the biobeds “Have a seat, we’ll get your physical out of the way and I’ll get your medications refilled.” She said with a smile and a friendly gesture.

CMO

“Please Doctor,” John-King replied, “my name is John-King, friends call me JK, either is acceptable with me.”

He sat in the biobed, and said, “been fine mostly since the last check up, the main thing is this darned hand, a week late for the necessary medication to stop the itching.”

Any scans would in fact confirm that he is well, all numbers within normal range.

Ashlynn took a look at his hand and scanned it “How long have you been itching?” She asked as she looked at the rest of his scans “Everything else seems to be fine.” She said “Where you putting anything on your hand before you came aboard?” She asked.

CMO

“Just the authorised medication, Doctor,” John-King replied, “new ship meant new tasks, not just serving drinks, and I got behind in the boarding tasks as a result.”

“The worst it sometimes does is cause ship systems like replicators to go haywire, so I used my right things for everything,” John-King added, “why, on the USS Columbia when I was assigned as their new Counsellor, I had no idea why sometimes equipment went haywire when I used it, and worked properly on other occasions. My nephew was my responsibility and he was there with me at the time, he loved it when I tried to use a replicator as it always seemed to produce endless streams of ice cream no matter what was ordered. It was there Chief Engineer Dagen Thor worked out the issue was my left hand, the CMO worked out a medication for the hand, and I’ve had to take it monthly ever since. It is delivered by hypospray, here,” John-King pointed to his left arm just below the shoulder.
