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

[atadiscoverer]

[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!))

No, I'm not.

[Carson's just going to be busying himself with some paperwork here. Quietly.]

[He wraps up the details and bullies the teenager on the other end into delivering the purchases. Then he calmly hangs up.]

Ordered Chinese. I think.

Mhm.

[Nope, just going to sit here quietly and work. :|]

[Go right ahead. House will set his chin on his clasped hands and just...watch.]

[Carson is fine with this. He's used to people gawking. And, then, his pager buzzes]

...There's a Msr Dogbite with a bad case of Maine Syndrome...

...What?

Mr. Maine suffered a dog bite.

[atadiscoverer]

Probably him, then. I've got to take this.

[He gathers up the paperwork he was doing, before moving out to the door]

[When you return, House will have an electric guitar. Which he's playing very well if very, very loudly.]

[That's fine. Carson's used to ignoring loud, obnoxious people. He just sits there at the desk, filling out more forms, occasionally digging out a French > English dictionary to help with the translation.

Not giving you the satisfaction, House]
