Subject: Annual Medical Evaluation – Appointment Required

Counselor Slade,

I imagine we’re alike in at least one way: we both prefer conversations to diagnostics. But even counselors are not exempt from annual medical reviews, I’m afraid.

As I work to familiarize myself with this crew—and with the unique rhythms aboard the Genesis—I’d like to begin by inviting you to Sickbay for your physical. Nothing invasive, just a quick scan, perhaps a few questions, and you’re free to return to the deeper work of untangling hearts and minds.

Please let me know what time suits your schedule. And if you wish to bring a calming blend of tea to settle your own nerves (or mine), I won’t object.

With respect,

Dr. Edelu, M.D. ○●●
