When it rains... it pours Medical Staff
-- a joint log
Doctors Felicity Roan and Sussanna Jameson
Half way down the corridor to the Dining Hall Sussanna stopped dead and
began swearing as she turned on her heals and headed to sick bay. Bloody
hell, she thought, you stupid, silly cow, you have to report there too! She
trudged down the halls and into sick bay, making a beeline for the CMO's
office.
Felicity, finally having her last PADD reviewed and signed-off on, stood and
exited her office to see if the last of the new staff had reported. There
was still one new Doctor and the physical rehabilitation specialist to
report in. Felicity just couldn't believe her good fortune to get all this
staff at once. Even if it forced her to be more social than usual.
A blonde, spectacled woman almost collided with Sussanna as she approached
the office. She assumed that this was her commanding officer so she stood to
attention, pulled out yet another PADD from her belt and said, "Ensign
Sussanna Jameson reporting for duty, sir."
Felicity smiled at the Ensign as she held out the PADD, "At ease Ensign, I'm
not so formal. Nice to meet you Doctor Jameson, I'm Felicity Roan." She
quickly reviewed the information and noted she'd had a physical prior to
coming aboard on Earth. "We'll skip your initial physical since you just
had one if that's okay with you?"
"Yes sir, um, that is Felicity or um Dr Roan, um." Sussanna slumped in a
kind of defeat. "That's fine with me."
"Doctor Roan will be fine. It looks like you've got some experience working
in diseases and infections? Nice to see I'm not the last of a dying breed.
I have a lab if you'd be interested in doing some of your own research.
You've come at a good time. We've had an influx of new staff. Besides
yourself we've welcomed Doctors El-Kainah Ngaio, Ral Dikkon, Varian Draal.
Lieutenant Georgia Lewis serves as our Head Nurse. Siobhan Finkelstein has
joined as our Yeoman/ Medical Technician and Camdell Loyen is our
Rehabilitation Specialist. If you'd like I can also give you the tour of
the area?
"That would be great, sir, thanks." 'Oh great, stepping on more toes, today
is shaping up well', she thought. "Lots of names to remember, and yeah it
would be nice to keep my research fresh, the lab is one of the main reasons
why I chose this position over others." Sussanna grinned, thinking of all
the research she could get done whilst here, she really loved her work.
"Wonderful. This shouldn't take long. I'm sure you need to unpack and
report to the Captain as well." Felicity noted the increased activity in
Medical and then saw Commander Skyler lying on a biobed. Trying not to draw
attention to it, she proceeded to point out the various areas of Medical to
Sussanna. "This is the Main Medical area, of course." Felicity laughed at
the obviousness of it. "Next is the Isolation area that we've used
infrequently. Continuing along here is the Stocking area." Felicity
continued along pointing out areas she thought would be of note for
Sussanna, whilst trying not to bore her to tears. She felt bad having to
torture the new crew like this. "I think these are the main areas for now.
You'll get to know these more in depth I'm sure as we work together. Any
questions or anything I can help you with? I know the ship gets to look
like a maze after a while and the faces all look the same?"
"Thanks, and yeah everything is blurring into one. Um, I need to report to
the Captain? Is that urgent or can it wait? I have training tonight and I
haven't eaten and... Everything seems to be getting on top of me at the
moment, what with my interview with Marksbury and now you and training and,
um I think I've mentioned the training, right?" Sussanna put a hand on top
of her head to try to stop it spinning so violently. A thought suddenly
came to her and she couldn't help but grinning smugly to herself.
Straightening her face, she turned back to Roan. "Um, when I was sitting in
Lieutenant Marksbury's office I couldn't help but notice how tired and ill
she looks. I was a little worried, I hope she's okay," she said as
innocently as she could.
Nodding thoughtfully Felicity responded, "I'm sure the report in to the
Bridge could wait until after you have had something to eat." Felicity
realized that if Marksbury had seen Skyler it would probably explain her
appearance and tried not to draw attention to it. "We're all just back from
shore leave, so I'm sure she's recuperating from that. I'll have a word
with her to ensure she's doing well though. Thank you for letting me know.
Again welcome aboard Doctor and I hope you enjoy the Avalon. "She's a fine
ship and a finer crew." She held out her hand to shake Sussanna's in
welcome.
Sussanna accepted Roan's hand and smiled. "I'm sure I'll fit right in.
Thanks." She turned to look around sick bay again. Yeah, she would feel
right at home.
