“Dr. C’tain is an excellent doctor, level headed, and mostly works well with others. However she has no administrative experience at all and has never worked in a hospital before coming to Oed.” Sharah had. She’d spent most of her childhood in and out of the hospital and doctor offices. As well as all her early classes and the doctors who tutored her in them. “I have no objection to Dr C’tain, but I think it would benefit her to be assigned to stay with the Centurion for awhile, to get used to the duties. Taking my place at Sacred Heart is a lot more massive a work load to toss her into.” It did not go past Sharah’s notice the irony that C’Tain was Vulcan. “Otherwise I would like someone who already has some experience working the medical facilities on a colony or outpost, or even some administrative background. I don’t mind training someone, but know they could quite suddenly be on their own, it would be ideal if they had some prior experience.”

“Okay,” Jonathan said. “I will look into it. If I come up with some good candidates other than C’tain, I’ll send the files over and you can give me your recommendation.”

“How are we doing supply-wise? I know the colony is well stocked as a rule, but Starfleet has a large contingent and we use up resources and I don’t want our crew taking away from anything unnecessarily. Anything we need to restock more frequently or that you foresee might be an issue in the next few months?” he asked.

Captain McBride, Starfleet CO

“Terekaine and Innaprovaline. They are basic first line medications for a lot of situations. The hospital as a rule goes through a lot for both sides of the equation. Having extra of that on hand would be beneficial.”

Fayth, SFCMO

McBride nodded. “We can make that happen. Now how are supplies being generated? I know we’ve been relying on external shipments, but have you heard anything about an industrial medical replicator? If not, that might be something we should push Supply for.”

Captain McBride, Starfleet CO

Fayth shook her head. “The hospital has a larger replicator that fit the needs but the population is exploding and it’s not big enough now. A lot is also developed in the labs. The Centurion has a small one to provide for the sickbay facilities, but considering there are 10,000 fleet officers stationed here, a dedicated industrial medical replicator on the facility would make a huge difference.”

Fayth, SFCMO

“I’ll see what I can do. It makes no sense to go without one considering the continued growth of the colony. If we get any pushback I can talk to Dasca. This is one of those areas where she can advocate for us on a vastly different level.” Jon flashed her a smile. “It’s nice to have someone else to pass the buck to on occasion.”

Captain McBride, Starfleet CO

“And it is only supposed to keep growing.” She smiled, “I have met Lt Gov Dasca. I would not want to be the one to tell her ‘no.’”

McBride leaned in. “Lieutenant? Me neither… me neither.” His eyes glimmered with all the odd bits and pieces of stories he had collected doing the usual inquiries one did when in his position. The best part was that he was certain that what he had learned about Eela Dasca was only the tip of the iceberg and it only made him like and admire her more.

“Dr. Helaky, the civilian assistant chief of staff, and I have been talking. We want to start providing clinics at the different facility locations. Send a doctor or two and some nurses to do the standard physicals, walk-in sick clinics, and the like. The fact is that Sacred Jeart just isn’t big enough. But expanding or building more facilities is the purview of the DMSS when they arrive. So in the mean time, we thought that might help alleviate some of the strain. It wouldn’t be a bad idea either way going forward.”

Fayth, SFCMO

The captain nodded. “We have the first aid room here, but there’s plenty of space to make a larger infirmary. I agree that a basic check in should strain a civilian hospital. Anything other than a 10 min basic check-in physical for someone without a complicated medical history can be done here and everyone else goes to Sacred heart.”
