[Infirmary Filter]I realise that I don't know many of you very well, which is my own fault, I know, but I'd like to fix that. Maybe you can tell me a little about yourselves - how long you've been practising medicine, or how long you've been working in the infirmary, or maybe even what your favourite topical ointment is (just kidding, don't ( Read more... )

a very good doctor, infirmary bros, a life outside of sherlock, sirius business nyuck nyuck

Why? [It's an x-ray machine, in an infirmary where we have scanners.]

Infirmary Warden drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 16:26:39 UTC

They're useful, that's why.

Infirmary Warden rass_bestie August 4 2011, 16:33:24 UTC

Not in an infirmary where you have scanners that can show you the broken bones without having to expose the entire body to radiation. Now, Rontgen radiation doesn't effect Time Lords, but I understand it has a cumulative deleterious effect on the tissues of humans which given the fact that people here get hurt with great frequency, might begin to effect them.

Infirmary Warden drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 16:46:11 UTC

There are more benefits to implementing the occasional use of an x-ray generator than just diagnosing the odd broken bone - it makes surgeries run smoother, makes deciding treatment easier, and provides documented evidence of the injury that can be used by support staff and people not trained to use the scanners. Like with all medicine, you just don't use it excessively.

It's a shame that this machine's just gathering dust in the corner. I'm not a trained technician, but I know how to use it, and more importantly, I'll know immediately when it breaks down or malfunctions.

Blogging, John? Must you?

I needed them.

hate you, sherlock. :| drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 17:17:26 UTC

Wait, but how did you - Stop stealing my laptop, Sherlock.

And needed them for what? You have your own pillows.

xP byronicsherlock August 4 2011, 17:46:27 UTC

I suppose I should be thankful it's not public at least.

For the experiment. Yours were closer.

drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 17:53:18 UTC

It was password-protected too...

What experiment?

I've been practicing medicine for... five or six years, wibbly wobbly timey whimey. I've been practicing medicine here for two years.

[Infirmary wardens.]
I'm going to need to agree with Omega here, I don't know why we need it. I mean I guess it'll be good practice for when I go home, but... It seems counterproductive here with the scanners.

[Infirmary Filter] drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 17:24:57 UTC

Do you have a speciality, or anything you really like treating or dislike treating? You're bound to have an opinion, practising for that long.

[Infirmary Wardens]

It's not counter-productive - it can only help. It's a tool, Doctor Snape-Jones. Let's use it with the scanners, not in place of them. Let's use it because we know how it works, and because we were trained to use them in emergency medicine and diagnosing patients.

[Infirmary Filter] thegooddrjones August 4 2011, 23:26:29 UTC

Emergency medicine, I suppose would be it now, that and xenobiology. I had intended to go into neurosurgery.

[Wardens]
Martha. And I suppose it's my unorthodox training, but I'm comfortable with them. However, if you would rather use the x-ray machine, that's fine with me.

[Private]
Sorry about Omega... he can be a bit ...protective at times.

[Infirmary Filter] drdaytimetelly August 5 2011, 00:56:19 UTC

I like emergency medicine myself. Neurosurgery though - disciplined field, that one.

[Private]

Sorry, Martha. I'll remember next time.

You don't have to apologise for him. We had a disagreement, that's all. I might have been a little short on patience with him with all that death ray talk, but that's my fault.

I've only been in the infirmary for about two months. This time, at any rate. I got my start in the army.

[Pause. Maybe names are important.] Dr. Rex Lewis, by the way.

Infirrrrrmary Filter drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 17:32:49 UTC

It's good to meet you, Dr. Lewis. I'm Dr. John Watson, and I was in the army myself. ...Afghanistan, actually.

Can I ask if you were a combat medic, or were you providing first aid?

Infirrrrrmary Filter - trying to reconcile his canon with his uniform's awards, MAY BE TOTES WRONG stopthat_destro August 4 2011, 18:30:58 UTC

A pleasure, Dr. Watson.

I served as a medic in Iraq, but I never grew accustomed to combat. I was a Science Officer after that, so most of my time was spent in a lab.

Infirrrrrmary Filter - IT IS ALL GOOD. drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 19:11:04 UTC

It's hard to believe that anybody really grows accustomed to combat. I always wondered if medics make for poor soldiers, or if it's the other way around.

Was the lab on base, or did they bring you home for that?

Absolutely. I'm going to be down here all day, so just come whenever you're free.

Private - would you like to spam or log or assume this encounter? drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 17:54:53 UTC

Fantastic. I'll be there after lunch.

Private - Spam would be good for me! hopeless_hacker August 4 2011, 18:05:25 UTC

I'll leave the door unlocked.

Spam! drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 18:21:13 UTC

[John was a little later than he said he'd be, but he hadn't taken into account that he might get lost trying to find the door to the engine room. Eventually he arrived though, knocking on the door as he stepped inside, looking apologetic for his tardiness.]

Toshiko? It's John...John Watson. [In case she'd forgotten. ...it's happened before.]
