[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

You're not going to get very far. They've become way too dependent on those scanners to tell them everything that they've forgotten some of us have gotten along just fine without them before.

And I've forgotten what I've told you, I'm sorry. Is there a reason to ask or just general inquiry?

Private drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 19:41:27 UTC

They're brilliant little pieces of technology, those scanners, I can't really blame them. I just don't like relying too heavily on any piece of equipment.

I'm just asking out of curiosity. We all have different backgrounds and specialities, and sometimes it's good to know these things. You saw patients in your home or at clinics, if I've remembered correctly.

Private greatlightother August 4 2011, 19:49:01 UTC

I don't, either. I sometimes feel like I've lost the human aspect of being a doctor with them. They're so easy to read, I have to ask myself...what's the point of going through school? And what if they malfunction?

But I'm glad that you're trying something new. Even if that new is something I would trust more than these things.

And...I did! Good memory.

Private drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 20:55:46 UTC

That's exactly what worries me. If they ever malfunctioned, we'd never know. There's probably someone that could fix them, but I don't want to be left helpless if that does ever happen.

Trying something old, actually, if you want to go there. I...yeah, I didn't really want to cause a fuss with all of this.

You can call me Black Jack and I've only been on the Barge for about a month. I'm a surgeon and have been doing it for about 7-8 years.

[Added Warden Filter]

Are x-ray machines still used? With all the technology I've seed, I'd have thought they might be obsolete by now.

[Infirmary Filter] drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 20:58:13 UTC

Nice to meet you, Black Jack. I'm Dr. John Watson, and it's good to see we have a surgeon working with us.

[Infirmary Wardens]

The infirmary has one, but I don't think it's been used in a while.

[Infirmary Warden Filter] championoftime August 4 2011, 20:54:18 UTC

X-Rays tend to have negative side-effects. The scanners don't. Though it might come in useful one day and it's good to know it's there.

I'm Dr. John Smith, by the way. I'm a Time Lord. I didn't train anywhere on Earth and I only studied medicine and alien biology 80 years or so, but I'm glad to help out.

[Infirmary Warden Filter] drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 21:02:23 UTC

True, but then so do some treatments as well. Anyway, good to meet you, Dr. Smith.

Re: [Infirmary Warden Filter] championoftime August 4 2011, 21:47:49 UTC

Yes, but if there was a treatment with no negative side-effects and a treatment with them for the same malady, wouldn't you prefer to use the one that had none? Or are you unfamiliar with the scanner technology so you're worried it'll affect your diagnoses?

[Infirmary Warden Filter] drdaytimetelly August 4 2011, 22:04:08 UTC

Neither, actually. It's an interesting little machine, but I don't think it could hurt to be less reliant on it.

My name's Will Parry. I've only been working in the infirmary for a few weeks, and I'm not formally trained, although I would like to be a doctor once I'm done with university.

[Infirmary Wardens]

And I don't know. I don't need one, usually.

[Infirmary Filter] drdaytimetelly August 5 2011, 01:10:04 UTC

Really? Which university? Are you set to move on to the foundation programme and all that when you're done?

[Infirmary Filter] becauseheswill August 5 2011, 01:59:57 UTC

I actually still need to finish my A-levels, but I'm hoping to go to Oxford once they're all taken care of.

[Infirmary Filter] drdaytimetelly August 5 2011, 02:32:31 UTC

Oxford! Oxford's good.

I'm sorry, I didn't give my name, did I? I got a little excited...yes, anyway, Dr. John Watson. Pleased to meet you.

[Infirmary] sirius_is_a_dog August 5 2011, 00:12:01 UTC

I've been working in the infirmary since just before you arrived. I'm not a doctor and I certainly don't 'practice medicine.' I started working there so Martha could tell me about Harry. Wichita also thought it would keep me busy.

[Private]

It was certainly an interesting time.

No, wizards don't watch television. Half-bloods and muggleborns might. Pure-bloods probably wouldn't know what the hell it is. I am familiar with it.

[Infirmary] drdaytimetelly August 5 2011, 01:11:36 UTC

How do you like working in the infirmary?

[Private]

You did well, you know, and I really appreciated all the help.

So does that mean you've never watched a film either?

Re: [Infirmary] sirius_is_a_dog August 5 2011, 01:44:04 UTC

Why? Are you trying to get rid of me?

[Private]

I went to a cinema once with James, but we were pissed at the time. I think we saw a 'horror' film. I laughed the entire time. We were thrown out.

[Private] drdaytimetelly August 5 2011, 02:04:22 UTC

No, no, of course not. Anyway, if anything I thought you'd want to get rid of me. I was just thinking that there's a lot of support staff in the infirmary now - it's getting a little crowded. Do you want to work somewhere else?
