Alpha Sickbay Deck Three - Medical Check in for the Chief Engineer
Posted by Lieutenant Than Osedi (Chief Engineer) in Alpha Sickbay Deck Three - Medical Check in for the Chief Engineer
Some time after he arrived on the ship, Than stepped through the doors to the ships primary Sickbay with a mind to get his medical clearance.Having stowed his gear bag and taken time to clean up Than paused and looked around the room checking activity levels in case they were busy, as well as a cursory visual scan of people and the systems working. Just in case something wasn’t working and he would need a mental note to check on it later, of course.
Stepping to the side out of the immediate entrance the tall Trill whistled a light tune quietly to himself, casually leaned on the edge of the nearest unoccupied Bio-bed and waited.
Lt Osedi, CE
“Ow ow ow,” a woman’s voice exclaimed loudly but also calmly as she was being led into sickbay, with a grimace on her face, by a human NE Nurse who had one hand on her back. The woman supported her left forearm with her right hand while her left hand hung limp bruised and swollen. “It’s like a throbbing pain that gets worse when I walk.” She said as she slowly walked to a biobed and blew out a long breath through her lips while she allowed the nurse to assist her in getting on it. The yellow engineering jumpsuit she wore was stylishly rolled up in neat even folds at the ankles showing off her perfectly polished black boots and the sleeves matched the folds of the pant legs, except they were rolled all the way up to her elbows.
The NE Nurse said, “Sorry this happened to you, Captain. I can give you something to ease the pain a bit, while I tend to it.”
Iphigenia nodded because she was now holding her breath and gritting her teeth to deal with the pain. The woman turned her back briefly, looked at Lieutenant Osedi, and said, “I will be right with you. “She placed her hands together in an apologetic motion as she continued, “I just need to get her fixed up right quick.” The nurse grabbed one of the neatly organized hyposprays from a nearby table and returned to inject it into Iphigenia’s thigh. She felt the immediate effect of whatever was in the hypospray tube because she began to smile as she said, “So, I guess we can say that I am not a gifted Engineer as I manage to injure myself on the first day I was supposed to observe and shadow my way through the department.”
“Uh-huh, that’s why I don’t venture far from sickbay.” The nurse joked as she examined, poked, and squeezed the injured hand. “I think it’s fine. Some injury to the distal inter-phalangeal joint on the index, middle, and ring fingers. looks like a small fracture or torn tendon but nothing a good old regenerator can’t fix I am sure. I will confirm with a scan then we can get you out of here.”
