I boarded the USS Shogun this morning at 1030 hours and after briefly meeting Captain Roffo and receiving my orders as Chief of Medical I headed down to Sickbay. I have also noted in my orders, sent by packet, that he has chosen me as his Executive Officer. Those duties I will perform alongside my department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon entering sickbay I met my colleague Dr. Joseph Taylor who will act as my assistant and run sickbay when I am needed to perform my XO function. Dr. Taylor introduced me to our two nurses Kim and Nayah as well as a young man who appears to be in training, Dougg. I took a tour with them and received a brief from each of them. They all appear quite competent and people I will be able to count on. I am quite impressed with how Dr. Taylor has set up sickbay, he has already had all inventory logged and accounted for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As we finished our tour two Civilians came in for treatment. My first patient presented with severe back pain. She says she bent the wrong way and experienced excruciating pain. Upon scanning I found pulled muscles and a herniated disk. I performed a lumbar realignment and prescribed 2cc’s Asinolyathin to reduce spasms, swelling and pain. I ordered to rest and only perform light duty over the next several days.<\/p>\n
My second patient presented with a concussion from contact with a wall. He was experiencing dizziness and mild pain. I again performed a scan to be sure of no hematomas and did not find any. I used a regenerator to heal the tissue, blood vessel and swelling within the brain and gave him 2 cc’s of Morphenolog. I ordered the young man to rest and to not return to duty until the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After my shift I took a self guided tour of the Shogun and I must say I am very impressed. She is definitely a new ship and huge!! It took me several hours to do a full tour. I am quite impressed with the design and layout though I would actually wish that my office was closer to sickbay but a transporter works nicely in an emergency to get me there quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
