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!))

Only if it is local. [He needed to keep a clear head for the situation.]

Right.

[He takes out a couple more bottles, and some cotton wool, dipping the first ball in and rubbing it over the affected area]

You'll feel it go a wee bit numb, and the affect should only last half an hour. It'll still hurt even with the local anesthesia.

I know. This is hardly the first time I've needed stitches.

[A smile]

That might well be, but I have to say it anyway.

[He takes out the sutre, and slowly, but deftly, starts to stitch up the cut]

[And Shinichi watches stoically.]

[The sutre is completed swiftly and expertly.]

I'd like to keep you in overnight. [He says, taking a needle and prepping it]

Just to make sure there are no adverse effects to the tetanus injections. Do you know if you're allergic to anything?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

[Shinichi makes an annoyed face.]

Is that really necessary?

And no. No allergies.

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it is. I would like to keep you in for observation, make sure there's no chance of blood poisoning or anything like that.
