“Crud” exclaimed Potts as he raced out of the turbo lift, due the fact he was late his physical. Now running down the corridor Fletch took two rights a left and then came to an abrupt halt in order to get his bearings and check he was on the right corridor. Looking at the bulk heads he determined he was almost there “Ahh yes second door on the left” he said walking down the corridor and through the entrance to sick bay.
Walking up to the reception desk Potts straightened his uniform and addressed the young female ensign in front of him. ” Lieutenant Commander Fletcher Potts to see Lieutenant Donnelly at 1400hrs” he said in professional manner in an attempt not to show how nervous he was.

Amber came out of her office with a smile. “Breathe Commander. Life won’t end cause you are a little late.” She nodded for him to follow her and pointed to one of the biobeds. “Hop up here and catch your breath. I don’t want to check you in with a high rate or your follow ups will be off the chart.” She smiled and grabbed the tricorder and PaDD she had left on the foot of the bed in anticipation.
Giving him a moment to get settled, she smiled and nodded. “So, you are here, you are alive, and you haven’t tried to kill anyone. So what else has occurred since you left your last station that I need to know about.” She ran the scanner over him and noticed he was still coming down from his job here.

Chief Medical OfficerFollowing the Chief Medical Officer Fletch popped himself upon the bed and listened as she spoke, letting out a small chuckle following comment regarding his tardiness and the world not coming to an end. Waiting for her to conclude her sentence he took a brief pause to refill his lungs before talking. “Hmm let me think all I can really think off is the trouble I have had with my shoulder the left one seems to crunch when I move it.” he spoke moving his shoulder in order to demonstrate what occurs when he move it. “I wouldnt say it causes pain when I use my left arm more discomfort than anything.” He concluded by saying.

Smiling she nodded. “Well, let’s see. Have you had an injury lately? Perhaps worked out a bit too hard, or falling in a holo program or anything else that may have jarred it?” She set the tricorder beside him and stepped closer on his left side. Putting her left hand on his shoulder, she said, “Relax,” and lifted his arm to move it in the range he had used a moment before. Feeling the crackle she then moved his arm in couple different directions to get the full range of the popping issue.
It was unusual, if he wasn’t used to it. Her hands on approach wasn’t one typically used by doctors.

CMO“I was on Risa a few months back and took a tumble climbing along the beach one evening, But I dont recall the pain been in my shoulder at that point” came the simple informative response from the ships new councillor.
Potts, CNS
Amber gently let the arm back down and smiled. “That popping feeling is called crepitus.” She picked up the tricorder and ran it over the shoulder. “It looks like there may have been a slight hairline fracture. It healed and has caused a ridge on the bone. That’s what’s ‘popping’ when you move. I’m going to give you a corticosteroid injection and recommend some yoga and light exercises. We’ll get together in about 30 days and see how it’s doing. I want you to ice it after your work outs, though. Whether you think you need it or not. I don’t want the swelling to go ignored and make things worse. All right?” She moved to the counter and retrieved a hypospray. Dialing in what she wanted, she tacked it to the woman’s arm near the shoulder and a quick hiss was all there was before she set the tool down beside Potts.
“Anything else I need to record so we are sure we don’t lose our new Counselor?” She smiled and put the tricorder back in her pocket.
