Hello. I've met quite a few of you over the past month, but to those who haven't had a proper introduction yet, my name is Claire Fraser.

I thought I'd make it public knowledge that, as the resident doctor on board, if anyone has any medical concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. This applies to wardens and inmates alike and discretion will be upheld at all times.

Mind you, this is not an invitation to bloody any noses, get into brawls, or try and get a peek at the locked cabinets in the infirmary.

No brawls? Jeez louise, Dr. Fraser, are you trying to suck all the fun out of life?

[nineteenfortyfive]

You didn't seem to be having fun in the aftermath.

[rank1]

Guess I'll just have to make sure the first part is more fun next time to make it worth it.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I sincerely suggest you do not.

[helenite]

what kind of concerns do u expect ? if its not goin 2 out any1

[nineteenfortyfive]

[God, that is hard to read.]

Just the usual. I'm sure toothaches and UTIs still happen in space.

[helenite]

dont u need dental school 4 that

no offense

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Valid question. Let's not scare off the patients!]

Typically. I have some experience in extraction.

I've had military field medic training besides having been a Genetic Engineer. Honestly, helping out "the doctor" would be the most interesting thing here. For now.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I started as a field nurse. I hope I don't need your help, Alex, but I'd be grateful to you if the time comes.

Or, if someone is uncomfortable with me, and if it's something you can assist with.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

My training is current as of 2008. What about yours?

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Yikes.]

Yeah, hi. Joshua Volkhov, New Alatyr Times, I live in your room -

What do people do for medical care if they don't want to disclose their problems to someone they have to talk to every day?

Also, can we do something about the people in chemical withdrawal? I'm not saying give the kid a pack of Pall Malls every two days and tell him to go apeshit in our windowless fucking hallways, but if we could at least taper off of this instead of going cold turkey I'd be way less likely to want to lobotomize myself with an ice pick.

Why, hello Joshua Volkhov. That's a strong name and no wonder you seem so familiar, but I think I'd prefer to call you Volk, if that's all well and good with you.

[She can play sometimes, too. But then, more seriously:]

That's the problem with one doctor on board. I suppose that's what the Auto Doc is best for, then.

I agree. I don't have the most experience with chemical withdrawal, but there has to be something in a place as advanced as this to help.

[saklas]

I can't get to the Auto Doc without a warden there.

Can we go up and ask about a patch or something?

[nineteenfortyfive]

A warden needs to supervise, but that doesn't mean a warden needs to be aware of whatever medical issues the Auto Doc is helping with, I imagine. Don't let that frighten you away from seeking medical help, Volk.

hello Claire :)

so when i was a teenager i was in a car accident and had to have surgery on my spine/pelvis
standing/walking/sitting up straight for long periods of time can get kind of sore because of the way it healed
i'm only bringing it up in case anything comes up that ibuprofen can't handle
occasional swelling or anything
i don't trust the autodoc thing i'd rather talk to a person (no offense, robots !)

[ Trustfall time. Let's see how much Claire can be trusted to catch. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Hello, Grace.

That sounds awful. Spinal surgery is no laughing matter. If the pain is ever too much or even just the discomfort, I can see what I can do.

[expectaspectre]

thank you

it shouldn't be a problem
i've been doing a lot more walking around since i've been here tho so i thought i'd mention it just in case
also i haven't been sleeping great but you know that already

i think it's just a little homesickness :)
thank you for all your help though !

[ Again not entirely true, but close enough. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

It can be an adjustment, this place. Please let me know if there's anything I can do, even if it's just talking about home, if you think that will help you.

What areas do you specialize in?

[nineteenfortyfive]

Internal medicine. Surgery. But I've been a combat nurse and field medic, so I've done a little bit of everything when it comes to injuries.

[n0ught]

What kind of surgery?

[nineteenfortyfive]

I've cut into most parts of the human body at one point or another in my career. Why do you ask?

[spanning]

Good to know.

What do you think of the Auto-Doc? Do you think it's reliable?
