Posted by Lieutenant Commander Joe Milligan (XO) in Sick bay Joe getting prodded for physical
Now walking down the corridor to sickbay Joe was once again cursing under his breath. Doctors always felt the need to know every little thing about you. It was one of his pet peeves. Joe had a few scars, remnants of more than a few broken bones and he was told all sorts of signposts showing a rough life. All this aside he knew he had to endure this. Not only endure it but try to be friendly with the medical personnel. You never knew when you might need them.

Joe walked into sickbay with a confident stride as if he owned the place. He stopped in the middle of the floor with a scowl on his face. No one seemed to be readily visible at the moment. His first instinct was to turn and leave but he halted himself. Instead, he called out, “Hello! Anyone around? You have a perfect specimen here for a physical!”

The XO probably heard Hunter before seeing him ‘’I don’t care that your nose is broken ,you’re needed at at the dept come back when the shift ends,the analgesic will help’’ the male doctor said as he took a few paces backwards, that’s when Hunter felt someone was behind him and turned round to excuse himself .It was the uniform that caught his eyes first ‘’Lt Cmdr’’ and was quick to give the XO a quick salute.

Hunter Dr.

Joe stood looking at the young medical officer and watched with amusement as he snapped to attention. Joe tried his best to stare at the Doctor with an angry glare. He was really trying not to laugh. He found to his chagrin however he couldn’t keep it up for long. A smile was soon tugging at the corner of his lips.

Joe, still looking the young man straight in the eye, told him,” There’s no need to salute me like that Doctor. I’m just a working man like everyone else. I just happen to have more pretties on my sleeve. What you might want to do is answer a few questions that I have. Number one being the name of the department head who is demanding that this man get back to work with a broken nose. Second I want to know if you are certain that both bone and cartilage have been realigned and joined so that they can heal properly. And third … well, a broken nose is painful doc. It literally hurts every time you breathe. “Pointing then, at the little bump in his own nose Joe finished by saying, “Take it from someone who knows. I want that man to be offered some pain meds. And then I want you to call his DH and tell him he won’t be back on duty until his next duty shift tomorrow. Remember in future that when it comes to medical issues you can give the captain himself orders. Now take care of that and I’ll be waiting for my physical on bed four over there.” Pausing then he turned to the doctor and said,” Oh my name is Joe Milligan by the way. I’m the new XO.”
