OOC: So I gave you a nick name of Dr. Doolittle, but please change it to whatever alias you would like to use.

Upon arrival at the orphanage Mecona kept tugging on McHarrie’s sleeve. “Come on, Vedi’s this way. He has to stay with Jensen. I’ll show you. Come on.” Mecona led him down between two houses and to the back door of a house. She didn’t knock but walked right in. “Jensen Jensen Jensen!” The little girl bounced. A middle aged man walked through a door from the front of the house. “Mecona! Does Karra know you are here?” Her little eyes got wide. “I forgot to tell her. Zanya brought him” She points to McHarrie. “She said his name is Dr Doolittle. He’s going to help Vedi! He’s going to make him all better.” It doesn’t really matter that McHarrie didn’t guarantee her anything; she has the belief of a four year old child that everything is going to be okay because there is an adult there to take care of it.Jensen’s eyes widen with a smile. “Zanya always knows what we need.” He holds out his hand to shake ‘Dolittle’s.’ Come on, this way.” He leads McHarrie down a short hallway and into a room. There in the bed is a 8 year old Cardassian boy. His leg is in a full splint and he struggles to sit up and drag the leg as he scoots into sitting. “Vedi, this is Dr Doolittle. He came with Zanya.” Vedi smiles and relaxes. Everyone knows Zanya. Jensen turns to Doolittle. “I had training as a medic, but we just don’t have the equipment here. I don’t have anything to knit the bone with. All I could do was set it and splint it. The bone broke through. I cleaned and stitched it, but it’s not healing right after all this time. It’s been weeks.”
Story Teller EvilJen“Given the circumstances, you’ve done a fantastic job,” McHarrie replied. He turned his attention to the Vedi, “So how did you manage to do this?”

Vedi looked so dejected. “The little kids were playing with a ball and it got away from them. I was running to go get it, and then I just remember hearing a loud snap and then my leg just hurt so bad. I woke up here with Jensen later. But it still REALLY hurts.” Jensen looked at Doolittle. “He’s been here around a month. It’s not getting worse, but it’s healing far too slowly. It should be better now. Karra also checked the yard for rocks or holes he might have slipped in but didn’t find anything.”
McHarrie smiled encouragingly at the child.
Mecona had climbed up into the bed with her big brother and Vedi bit his lip very hard and sweat formed on his forehead as his leg got jostled. He didn’t say anything to Mecona though because he knew she was already very worried. “Everyone keeps asking me if Carlin pushed me, but he wasn’t even outside with me.” Vedi looks ashamed. “We got in a fight the day before.”
Story Teller, EvilJen“We’ve all gotten into fights when we were boys,” McHarrie said warmly as he began to scan, “And always make up with our real friends.”
-McHarrie
“Carlin comes by every day after school. I really feel bad about it. And everyone thinks he did it, but he didn’t.” McHarrie would know from the briefing that the report that Casela received recounting this event was over a month old. The scans revealed that the break still appeared fresh as if it had happened that day. It wasn’t worse and it wasn’t better. The same for the stitching where the bone had come through. The rest of his body appeared healthy. Around the incisions white blood cells and platelets were appearing to help the body heal but then seemed to disappear and then begin forming again. The splint was very tight keeping the bone in place but it appeared that it kept trying to pop out of the splint and then would reset to where Jensen had set it and then put the splint on. No infection could be found despite the wound still being open.
