Innocentata Medicalos: Same Old Same Old
Jenny was so excited when she woke up in the admiral's/ambassador's
quarters bedroom. Of course that wasn't why she was so excited. She
had gotten used to the special treatment since she started traveling
with Donny. Ironically it had nothing to do with Donny's rank after
all he's only an ensign. It had to do with hers. Still that was not
why she was excited today. She finally gets to be a medical intern just
like any medical school student does for the very first time. As an
eight year old who could never grow up the medical board decided it
would be ok on the condition she does it when she's at a minimum of 8
years old and doesn't go further than residency. It took a couple
connections to get even that much.
Jenny headed for the kitchen. Yeah they actually have there own
kitchen, a privilege only for admirals and ambassadors. The mess hall
is usually for everyone else. Unfortunately the kitchen is mostly where
to sit to eat. The machines took care of the cooking and even cleaning.
She ordered scrambled eggs and bacon for Donny and hard-boiled eggs and
plain yogurt for herself, and set up the table for breakfast.
Something's Jenny just won't give up to robots.
Donny came out of his room a few minutes later and joined Jenny at the
table. "Morning sweetheart," Donny said.
"Morning," Jenny said sitting down and starting to eat her food
real quickly.
"Slow down. You don't want to make yourself sick," Donny scolded.
"What time will you be home today?"
"My shift ends at 1pm but I might stop at the holosuit to practice
stitches," Jenny answered. "When's your shift end?"
"Bridge 3," Donny answered. "Engineering Five. I'll be home
around 6 and you young lady better be home by than."
"Yes Sir," Jenny saluted.
"You know you could play surgery on the holosuit," Donny mentioned
remembering the restrictions included no surgery.
"Maybe," Jenny said.
"Just promise me you'll behave," Donny lectured.
"When have I not?" Jenny asked innocently.
"Didn't you pull a prank on the principle two weeks before summer
break with the kidern."
"It was the oldest kiderns idea. Besides the principle was laughing
instead of punishing," Jenny explained.
"Just don't pull off another prank on your attending," Donny
replied.
"Yes sir," Jenny answered finishing up her breakfast and taking it
to the washer and starts grabbing Donny's plate.
"Hey. I'm not finished with that," Donny responded.
"Oops, sorry," Jenny responded giving it back to Donny.
"Just relax you still have half an hour before you have to be
there," Donny reminded.
"I better get my hair done," Jenny said heading for the bathroom.
"Jenny don't you think you should put your plate away first,"
Donny asked after her.
"Oops," Jenny says heading back to the washer.
"You look great. I promise," Donny said.
"I just want to look perfect," Jenny said getting agitated.
"You don't need to look any better. You're patients won't,"
Donny reminded. "I have to go." He finished he's plate and put it
in the washer.
"See you at six," Jenny said when he left. Just when he got out the
door Jenny went to the restroom to fix her hair.
------------------------------------------------------
Jenny got lucky with Donny's post, unless Starfleet did it on
purpose; she got the best infirmary in all of Starfleet to do her
internship.
Jenny whistles while taking a walk down to the infirmary, of course not
being the only one headed there but just the youngest she saw a few
adult males and adult females headed with her.
"Hi," Jenny said politely.
"Hello," One of the females replied but the others just ignored
Jenny.
"Are you an intern?" Jenny asked the woman.
"Yep we're all going on rounds. Where are you heading?" She
asked.
"Same as you, same reason," Jenny explained showing her beautiful
IM's.
"Oh I've heard of you. You lucky dog," She compliments.
"Thanks," Jenny said just as they arrive at the infirmary.
"The intern orientation is down the hall," The receptionist told
the adults. "The pediatrics doctors are down the other side."
"I'm here for the orientation too," Jenny explains.
"Ok," The receptionist said thinking she will be back when roll is
called.
Jenny and the other interns head for the orientation, which is just
before their first rounds. Jenny tried to control her excitement.
"Hello," The Attending said. "Today is your first day of Intern
Hell. You'll be working 8 hours a day on call 3 times a week and
doing anything I don't like. I had to do when I was an intern. Now
you will have to do it."
Jenny actually now realized why Donny insisted on controlling her hours
at the hospital.
"When I call your name say here and nothing else," The attending
says. "Emily Charser."
"Here," Jenny's new friend says.
"Arnold Matthew," The attending calls.
"I go by Arney," Arnold said but got a bad look from the attending.
"Here."
"Barney Matthew," The attending said.
"Here," Barney said.
"Carol Potter," The attending called.
"Here," Carol answered.
"John JingleHimmer, we'll just call you John," The attending
said.
No one answered.
"John," The attending repeated.
No one answered again.
"And finally Jenny Williams," the attending said.
"Here," Jenny says.
A big guy all of a sudden comes rushing in. "Sorry I'm late." He
said bumping into Jenny.
"Hey," Jenny said.
"Aren't you in the wrong department?" The guy said.
"She belongs here a lot more than a late intern," The attending
stated. "John JingleHimmer?"
"I go by Johnny," John said but got the evil look. "Here Sir."
"I expect everyone on time and ready to learn from now on. If you
can't make it on time don't come at all. You won't get credit
anyways," The attending lectured. "Now you may tell me what you
like to be called by."
No one spoke up.
"Ok, now for rounds," The attending said heading for the first
room. "Our first patient is a 20 week pregnant woman who was in a
hoovercar wreck and is in a coma. What do you recommend we do?"
"Rejuve her," Everyone but Jenny said.
Jenny was looking at the woman's chart.
"Ms Williams," the attending said. "What do you recommend?"
"I would reduce the scanners to once every day and maybe set up a new
machine that has been made where the patients pulse is checked old
fashioned and if anything is wrong the scanner is used. After all we
don't want her waking up 13 with accumulative scanner carditis,"
Jenny explained. "Also when doing rounds we can check to see how far
the baby is. See if we can c-section her than rejuve her as quickly as
possible."
"You are correct about the c-section. I'll have to look into the
scanners problem," The attending says surprised. "A rejuve would
kill the fetus," He explains.
The other interns looked down in shame for not knowing that.
Jenny was so proud.
"Let's head for the next patient so the scanners can go back on,"
The attending said.
Everyone headed for the next room, most of who did not understand the
joke. "Now we have a patient who's been here five days. We
haven't been able to figure out why she needed to see us. What do you
suggest?"
"What did the scanner say?" Carol asked and the other interns
nodded except for Jenny who was chatting away with the adult woman.
"Ms Williams," The attending said a bit annoyed. "We haven't
done a medical scan."
"She had an allergic reaction to the scanner," Jenny says to the
attending. "And anyways you should think about getting a medic alert
bracelet. They brought it back so that EMT's won't scan patients
that are allergic to scanners. I wear them all the time."
"You are right about her allergy," The attending says amazed.
"What type of scanner carditis is it?" He asked.
"Since she's been here for five days, She most likely has the
congenital form," Johnny says. The other interns nodded except Jenny.
"And you can play a trick on your husband by putting one of these on
him and sedate him and take him to the doctor. They will take his temp
the not so nice way," Jenny giggled.
"Jenny," The attending said getting this time a little more upset
than he should.
"I half agree with Johnny's conclusions," Jenny explains.
"Why half?" The attending asks still a little upset with Jenny.
"Well I agree that it's congenital but not how he came to the
conclusions. Her leg doesn't have the faint signs of redness
associated with accumulative five times scanned. She probably just had
a high fever seizure and was scanned by the EMTs by mistake."
"Correct again. Now let's go on," The attending said.
"I'll come back to check on you after rounds," Jenny says to her
patient. "And tell you a few other things you can get your husband
with."
"Thank you," The woman says.
"Ms Williams let's continue," The attending said.
Jenny headed with the other interns. She's been doing pretty well,
and didn't have to pull a prank.
"Our next patient is a kidney failure patient. Due to the fact that
he can live on dialysis the government won't pay for him to rejuve to
fix the problem. He has trouble finding a job to pay for the rejuve due
to the kidney failure," The attending says.
"Keep him on dialysis till the problem becomes deadly," Everyone
but Jenny said.
"Let me talk to the Medical board," Jenny says. "I still have a
few connections."
"Why should they pay for this rejuve?" Some of the interns asked.
"It's a matter of quality of life," Jenny explains. "Medical
rejuve's are not just about life saving, it's about making the life
worth saving. Not rejuving him because of political bureaucracy is
insane."
"I couldn't have put it better myself," The attending said.
"Why don't you go and make the calls in the nurses lounge. I'll
catch you up with the other patients later."
"Sure," Jenny says rushing to the nursing station.
Jenny spent most of the rest of the day working on getting the guy
rejuved and than making more suggestions to the woman about how to have
fun with her husband.
She started heading back to her quarters around 6 when she heard the
unmistakable signs of spankings. Yet there are no pennies on this side
of the starship. When Jenny got to the sound of the spanking she
recognized the face of the spankee. John JinnyHimmer!!!! Although Jenny
might be wrong since all she's seeing is his upside down face while
over his wife's lap bare bottom. Jenny recognized the wife as the
second in command Commander Beverly JinnyHimmer and she was using a
Spenser paddle. "How many times must I spank you for tardiness?"
She asked while smacking really hard and high his bare tush with
resolve. He was already wiggling and kicking but she had a pretty good
grip on him.
"OWWWW," He howled. "I'm sorry."
"Next time I will make sure your bottom has lots of blisters and no
nanolotion. It would have to heal on its own," She lectured while he
was already starting to cry. Another 15 minutes of spanking she finally
lets him up. "Now in the corner on the cornerstool while I eat
dinner."
Jenny almost fainted when she saw the adult sized cornerstool in the
corner. Jenny left before anyone can notice her and went to her place,
just as Donny shows up.
"How was your day?" He asked.
"Same old same old," Jenny answered.
