[usstempest] Doc Sawbones and Her First Paitent Capt Lindsey Craig & Lt PK Tomilson

 
"Doc Sawbones and Her First Patient"
Captain Lindsey Craig and Lt. PK Tomilson
 

Small, was the first thing that struck Lindsey when she poked her head around 
 the door to Sick Bay. Admittedly she was used to the facilities of a Galaxy  
Class so that was probably why it all felt so contained. "I could get  
claustrophobic working in here, if I were the CMO," she muttered. Laughing at  
herself, she headed to the back in search of Tomilson. 
PK was still sitting in her office going over the crew list to see who would  
need to have their physical first. Of course all crew member's would require 
a  physical and of course all crew members would balk at having to have one. 
It was  the bain of a physician's existence. Taking a much needed break she got 
up to  get herself a drink. She went to the replicator and asked for an Ice 
tea,  however what she got was a blast of cold water straight at her chest.  
"Damn machine! You would think that everything would be working on a new  
ship. Now I have to go and change." 
"You would, wouldn't you?" Lindsey smiled from the doorway. "I'll get Rosie  
on it when she's done with her long list of other ship-wide malfunctions."  
Shrugging, she added, "That's what you get for sending out a ship without a  
shake-down cruise, I guess." Lindsey offered her hand to the soaked doctor. 
"I'm  
Lindsey Craig, by the way." 
PK turned in her now soggy uniform to face the Captain of the ship. "Uh Hi, I 
 am PK Tomilson, but I'm assuming you already know that. Sorry for the 
disarray  of my uniform." PK took the offered hand. "I hope you are not here 
for 
your  physical, because if the replicator is any indication I wouldn't trust a 
pet  rock to these machines just yet. Now if you want one done the old 
fashioned 
way  I am sure I can accommodate you." 
"Well mostly I just came in to say hi and see how you're settling in, Doc  
Sawbones was it?" she said with a crooked grin. "But I'm all yours if you want  
to get your first official medical out of the way." 
"That's me, good 'ole Doc Sawbones. Trustiest person around with a saw, just  
in case you are ever in need of one. As for your physical if you really want 
to  get it over with I would be more than happy to take care of that for you.  
Although right now I'm not sure I trust these machines just yet as I haven't 
had  a chance to check them all out. If they are anything like the replicator 
I think  we better stick to my own personal tricorder and other equipment. 
Just give me a  minute to go find them all and I will be right back with you. 
Just have a seat,  hopefully the back won't fall off." 
Leaving the CO of the ship alone for a few minutes PK searched her office for 
 a dry uniform as well as her tricorder and other supplies. She wanted to see 
how  tough this CO was going to be so she also dragged out her antiquated 
equipment  as well. Things such as her reflex hammer, stethoscope, the thingy 
to 
check ear  drums and look in noses, blood pressure cuff and thermometer, 
although she  wasn't sure if it went in the mouth or the other end. They would 
both 
soon find  out. Hiding her tricorder in her pocket PK walked back into 
sickbay with her  "goodies" to see how well her captain was. 
Eying the equipment with a smirk, Lindsey pulled herself onto a biobed. "I'm  
all yours, Doc," she said with a chuckle. 
"You got more guts than I thought you had. Most people would take one look at 
 this antiquated stuff and take off running. I'll give you credit." PK pulled 
out  her own personal tricorder and began to scan the CO trying not to laugh 
to hard.  "Well, according to this, other than a case of nerves you appear to 
be in fine  health. I would imagine the nerves are from taking command of your 
first ship.  Take two shots of something in the morning and call me." 
Putting the tricorder away and taking some notes PK declared the Captain fit  
for duty. "Just stay away from stray replicators and you will be fine. Any  
questions?" 
"Only one: do I get a button and a lollipop for being a good girl?" Lindsey  
grinned. 
"I don't have any button's but I'm sure I can find a lollipop for you in my  
office stash." PK laughed. She was going to have fun with this CO. "Just one  
last question? Do I have to call you Captain all the time or can I call you  
Lindesy?" 
With a raised eyebrow, she said, "Since when has Doc Sawbones ever called a  
CO by their title? Call me Lindsey." 
"Well, in that case, here is your lollipop and feel free to drop by anytime  
Lindsey. It was a pleasure doing business with you and I will send you the 
bill  later."
