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!))

[He's staring at that nurse and tensing. He's not fine Carolina there are still needles and sharp things. Growling lowly.]

[Carson is the one to insert the actual IV, doing it carefully, before turning to the nurse and listing off some chemical names and measurements

He then turns to Carolina] He needs to sit still, not touch the IV, and get better. It's going to take a while to actually heal the wound, and I'll need to give it regular check-ups when we're back in the castle. I'll prescribe some oral antibiotics, too, when the bulk of the sepsis is gone.

[Carolina nods, looking back over at Maine. She'll stay as long as she can, really. So, she pulls up a chair and sits down in it as she finally pulls off her coat.]

How long are we talking about?

[agent-maine.livejournal.com]

[He's twitching, he really really wants to just rip that IV out. If Carolina weren't there he probably would have already.]

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

I'm recommending for the duration of the time it takes to get the bloodwork back. Once I know what I'm dealing with, I can adjust the medication as necessary.

[Carolina notices that twitching and places her hand on Maine's shoulder, gripping tightly.]

Got it.

[agent-maine.livejournal.com]

[Okay, okay he can do this. The longer the IV is in there, the less likely he is to rip it out. For now. He looks from Carolina to Carson.]

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

[Carson finally looks to Maine.] If the tests come back good enough, I'll see about switching you to oral antibiotics. For the meanwhile, you need to keep that IV in. Got it?

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

He'll keep it in. [In her most no-nonsense tone.]

[agent-maine.livejournal.com]

[THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID]

[Maine hefts a sigh and a grumble. Yeah, sure fine. Boss said, so he's really got no choice.]

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, I can throw Carson back in. Or we can just Timeskip. You choos

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd better go and supervise the blood analysis myself, it might make it go a wee bit quicker.

[That, and he wants to get away from Maine glaring at him]

Excuse me.

I don't have a preference. <3

[That Maine is fierce, yo. Carolina glances back over at Maine when Carson leaves.] Don't touch the IV, Maine.
