[002] VIDEO

[doc_pompous]

[Today's video post reveals Simon against the usual backdrop of Medbay--it's clear he's a little exhausted from the blackout and subsequent jump, but he does his best to appear put-together and professional, because that's what you should do when addressing large amounts of people.]

At this point I think the customary welcome would be…more than a little redundant, so I'll try to be brief.

[He coughs a little, more to fill the silence than anything, clearly a little unaccustomed to making these kinds of announcements.]

My name is Simon, I'm one of the doctors on board. My background is in trauma surgery, but we're all used to working outside our specialties here. Physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, you…get the idea.

I won't pretend we're not understaffed, or that the hours aren't long, but anything you can offer is appreciated. If you're interested in joining the medical team and have the knowledge or experience, let me know, and we can put you on staff.

[Simon's brow furrows. Even if he didn't know them very well, good medical personnel is something of a precious commodity in situations like this.]

We've lost a few good doctors recently, and we could use any willing volunteers.

Yes. Are you having trouble sleeping?

I always have trouble sleeping.

I'd like to volunteer. [Yes, she is totally serious. See this serious little face?]

I'm trained as a nurse, and want to learn everything I can.

[He looks a little surprised to see someone so young, but hey, space beggars can't be choosers.]

We can teach you. May I ask how old you are?

[littleduck]

Thirteen. I know I'm young, but I've been helping my mom fix people my entire life. And I've been working hard in a medical unit during war, so I know how to work fast and accurately under pressure.

I saw a Mr. Petrelli asking after joining medical recently.

[voice]

[doc_pompous]

I did see that post. Hopefully we can get him on board soon.

Is there anything non-medical personnel can do?

I used to-- intern, I guess, in what passed for Psych.


--full disclosure? I don't have my degree, so I really shouldn't be doing much of anything.

[doc_pompous]

No, that's good. Psychology, I mean. We could use that. I think we're beyond the point of degrees, if that...makes any sense.

Tell them the neurology department needs an assistant.

[Topher, you are the entire neurology department.]

[doc_pompous]

[Topher get your own juice boxes]

If someone comes forward with that kind of background, I'll refer them to you.

Anything you can do with a top of his class med school dropout with a steady hand?

[perma-video]

[doc_pompous]

Here? Plenty. What was your specialization?

I'd like to help, but I haven't seen any leech tanks that need cleaning.

[And he's not one bit disappointed.]

[There is a look on Simon's face that very clearly says oh my god.]

No, we don't...we don't do that any more.

My name is Mattie Ross. I spoke previously with Doctor Watson, though I understand he has gone away now. But he accepted my proposal in regards to volunteering, and though I have no medical training, I will clean and fetch supplies and bring food for the ill and injured.

[perma-video]

[doc_pompous]

It's perfectly all right if you don't have experience. We're more than willing to teach.

Umm... [ She stares at the camera a bit, visibly trying not to fidget. ] Hello, Doctor Simon. My name is Rico. I was told I should go to the Medical Bay. For, um, a check-up.

Re: video;

[doc_pompous]

I can give you a check-up. Is everything feeling normal?

[thaumaturgic]

[ doctors, hey-- ]

I- I'm a doctor, back where I'm from. [ technically. ] Well, I mean, I can- heal people. If I can be of any help, I'd like to?

[doc_pompous]

That's...what a doctor does. Have you been down to Medical yet?

[Anders clears his throat.] I ... left the medical staff, actually. For the gardens.

But I am a healer. If there's ever healing needed, I won't turn anyone away. I'll go anywhere in the ship -- anywhere I can get in, that is.

[Not the actual SCI area, since his nanites are now attuned to the gardens instead -- though Anders has zero idea how that works, he is aware that he can get into some places and not others. So, yes, have a completely unaccredited healer mage as a paramedic.]

[doc_pompous]

A healer, okay. [He is well aware that there are individuals on board who use that kind of archaic language, but this is a new term.] What do you mean, exactly?
