Riani’s eyes went wide and the colour seemed to drain from her face as she listened to the doctor. She never thought bruises could actually be dangerous. How could she not have known that? Spelled out like that it seemed so obvious and it made her feel like a fool. She knew that that hadn’t been his intention, of course. Yet she couldn’t seem to help feeling the way she did.

“Now don’t get too worried,” Brad said, noticing her change in expression. ” There’s very little danger of that if you seek treatment in time. Obviously, we’d rather you not be injured at all, but if you do bump into something and think you might have bruised something, just drop by and we can take care of it, alright? “

Chewing on her lower lip, Riani nodded, trying to push her worries and feelings of stupidity to the back of her mind. After a couple of moments she looked up again and asked hesitantly, “Do you want me to come here for every single bruise, no matter how small?” Turning scarlet she added in a barely audible whisper, “I bump into things a lot…” Her voice trailed off and she dropped her gaze to her lap once again.

~Ensign Iyun, Scientist

The osteogenerator beeped to indicate its work was done and Riani’s toe was repaired.

“Hm,” Brad said. “Maybe at first,” he started, “but we can also train you in first aid so you can take care of it yourself. I understand most of the science labs have a medkit?”

“Yes, there is,” Riani replied with a nod. “Also, … I had some basic first aid training at the Academy,” she continued and then added hastily, “But of course brushing up my knowledge and deepening it, would be good, Sir.”

“Like learning more about bruises,” Brad teased gently. “I am curious as to why you bruise so easily, though. I bump into my fair share of things, but rarely with enough force to cause a bruise.”

At his gentle joke, Riani’s cheeks turned crimson again and and she looked back down at her lap.

“Your foot’s all better, by the way, if you want to put your boot back on.”

While putting first her sock and then her boot back on, she said in a low voice, “I suppose so. No one has ever seemed concerned about it so far and I got my fair share of medical check-ups over the years…” Her voice trailed off once again as concern, confusion and even a hint of annoyance (with herself? previous medical professions? …?) flooded her.

~Ensign Iyun, Scientist

“Hm,” Brad said, disapproving clearly of her prior medics. “You’d think someone would have, but even in these days I guess you can still be surprised. Would you mind laying back, Ensign? I want to run a couple more detailed scans.”

Checking specifically for hemophilia or any other related affliction.
