LtJg. Quiocho was finished treating Oriana and Petrel. She decided to
continue on in Astrometrics, as instructed, to treat the injured since there
hasn't been a medic through here in a while. MaiKai started her way over
debris to woman. By the uniform, it looked as though she was from engineering, but
Mai could be wrong. She continued to walk towards the woman. Mai felt an
earthquake and fell into a jagged piece of metal on the wall.
MaiKai took out a dermaplast from her medkit. This device allowed
small or large cuts to seal up so there wasn't that much pain or blood she would
have to look at. Yes, LtJg. Quiocho was tremendous doctor and she did her
schooling, but when it came to sharp objects like: knives or needles and an
add-on of blood, she didn't do so well. Looking at her own scrapes didn't bother
her, but when it came to other people she became a little queasy. Odd for a
doctor to feel this way, but ever since she was a small child she had felt this
way.
She got up and continued to walk to the woman who was mumbling to
herself. "Ma'am, I'm a medical officer. I need your name and how you are hurt or
in pain," Mai politely demanded as the woman winced from hearing a human
voice. The woman spoke softly and hoarse, "Lois Seguin. I'm not share what's
wrong. My body feels numb and I can feel an awkward sensation in my back, but I
really have no idea." MaiKai took off her jacket so the only thing left of
her uniform was her shoes, pants, and white tank top.
Mai covered the patient with her jacket and rubbed the patients arms
wit hers. "Miss Seguin, I'm going to roll you over I think what the odd
sensation in your back is tremendous blood loss. I need you to keep your arms going
like this, as I am, while I see what's going on so I can treat you." Miss
Seguin nodded while Mai in return gave her a weak smile. MaiKai gently had
moved the woman to tilt to one side as she pulled out her medical tricorder just
to make sure she was correct with assumptions.
She was right. Something happened to Miss Seguin to dislocate a
vertebrae. She wasn't bleed out her back, as Mai braced for, but that single
vertebra must have messed up a few nerves in the patients back. Soon Lois would be
unconscious and the Lieutenant surely didn't want that. MaiKai opened her
medkit, that was off to the side, to reveal her options instruments and
medicines. She pulled out the Neural Stimulator and her handy-dandy hypospray.
Mai used the Neural Stimulator to keep Lois awake and have her nerves
working a bit harder until she could get Lois to Sickbay to see what
instruments were left so MaiKai could construct new nerves in the patient's back. Mai
thought her plan would work if Miss Seguin would stay awake. In her
politeness, Mai gave Miss Seguin a hypospray to her neck to relieve any pain she now
felt as the numbness went away.
Miss Seguin stating that the numbness was now going away and she could
feel everything around her let Mai know that the young doctor had done the
right thing. "I'm glad your better, however I must go to other patients.
Please stay right here, don't move, and try and relax. But do not fall asleep. I
will be back to check up on you in ten. Please keep yourself occupied so you
don't fall asleep."
MaiKai made a real smile this time at Miss Lois Seguin as she left her
to treat other patients. {I'm glad I'm needed here. If only my parents
could see me now}. Mai smiled to herself feeling more confident. She hurried
away to more patients in Astrometrics.
