007 ~ One hospital is like another [Action/Dictated]

[So, it's time for work!

And, after a long and complicated Métro ride into the centre of Paris, and a bus to the banks of the Seine, Dr. Carson Beckett finally finds Saint-Pierre Infirmerie, where he was supposed to be working as a locum A&E doctor. He flops in behind his desk, making sure his pager is easily viewable, should he be called to an emergency, and takes out his journal.]

So, who else is starting their first day in Paris without being able to read or speak a bloody word of French?

Aye, everyone here speaks English, but I swear they're bloody talking about me behind my back... And all the labels are in French, too.

((OOC: Feel free to come into A&E with some odd injuries, or to just bug him. Open for voice over journal, or action at the hospital. Also, happy to forward-date, if wanted. Carson is also on-call, so happy to accept random calls in the middle of the night, either by journal or phone!))

[He pulls himself up, then gets right to rolling his pantleg up and unwrapping the field dressing he'd put over it. He's also glancing around. It's not really his favorite setting.]

...how long is it since you were attacked?

[His tone is a bit serious. He leans in to examine it a bit more.]

This needs stitches.

A day.

[He growls at that. Oh no, no no no. Stitches mean needles.] No stitches.

I'm sorry, sir, but you're gonnae need them. [No arguing. :|]

When was the last time you had a tetanus shot?

[Oh, hell Maine is arguing. :| In fact he's pulling his pantleg down and pushing off the table.]

[He just glares at the doc. No fucking needles.] No. Fucking. Needles.

[Not impressed.]

Sir, if you don't let me do my job, there's a chance that wound can get much worse. [He keeps his professional tone, but there's an edge sneaking in there, one he usually reserves for stubborn military personnel.]

Now if you want to make sure you can continue using that leg, I suggest you sit back down and let me do my job.

I'll be sure to clean it. [Yeah, completely ignoring that edge.]

Cleaning it won't be enough. After a day, the tetanus, and whatever other diseases that dog may have had, could've already passed into your bloodstream.

[Not taking no for an answer, Maine]

[Maine pulls himself straight, using his height to intimidate.]

No. Needles.

[...Not scary. You haven't seen Ronon Dex.]

I can administer a sedative. Orally.

[OKAY WELL COULD RONON DEX GROWL.]

[BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAINE IS DOING NOW. GEEZ, HE'S SORRY HE EVER STOPPED AT THIS STUPID PLACE.]

[Ronon Dex is a lot more scary. Still not impressed]

Growl all you like, sir, but I'm not impressed by your attitude. Why even come here, if you don't want to be treated?

[He folds his arms] If you do not receive a tetanus shot to remove the bacterium, and it worsens, there will be a lot more than needles, when you're carted in here, unable to move some limbs and twitching like hell.

Ddin't think there'd be needles. [Right.]

[He narrows his eyes at Carson. The idea of more needles isn't pleasant. The idea of any needles isn't pleasant. Why even does it have to be needles in the first place. :| ]

Trust me, it'll be worse for you if I don't do the treatment now.

[Still arms-folded. Stoic Scotsman.] Oral sedatives can still knock you out. I'll even go as far as to prescribe morphine.

[Fold his arms too. :| Sedative smight be better then needles, but he doesn't like the idea of being muddled.]

Think I'll take my chances.

So, you'd rather risk muscular damage from tetanus than take one wee needle right now? You realise that tetanus can stop your heart if it's severe enough?

You'd risk death, than a wee prick of a needle.

[Dude, needles are scary.]

I'll be

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<fine.') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

[Dude, needles are scary.]

I'll be <fine. [A little more forceful assertion, because if he keeps saying it it'll be true, right?]

If you've never had a tetanus injection, you're more at risk. I'm sorry, but there's a high likelihood of a severe tetanus attack.

[Scarier than death? Carson doubts this]

[He just growls lowly. Needles are a deal-breaker, man. :| Can't he just have some gauze and maybe a couble large bandaids?]

If you don't want my help, leave. I don't have time to be messing about with you.

[He sounds a bit stressed, there]

[Fine, waving him off as he shoves out. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME ~~UNTIL HE'S BACK LATER WITH AN INFECTION LOLZ~~]

[Carson rolls his eyes and moves on to do his other stuff.]

[Carolina's glaring daggers at Maine as she's holding the door to the emergency area of the hospital. She thought this should have been drilled into his head already: get proper medical treatment or you could become a liability.]

[He just grumbles back, limping in a bit more worse for wear then the last time he passed this threshold. Yeah, Carolina had a point, but it's not like they were running ops or anything. All he had to do was drive around the city and not hit anything, and he could do that fine with one foot.]

[And it's another two hours for them to be seen again.

And, it's Carson who comes over, whose expression falls at the sight of Maine.]

Not you, again.
