Viasse noticed the discomfort tainting Aizala’s aura. She thought to mention it, but the risk of worsening her troubles trumped Viasse’s urge to ease them. She instead opted for a calm front. “That’s music to my ears,” she hummed and lifted the tricorder. “I’m going to run a quick scan,” she went through the motions, “unless something pressing comes up, you’ll be out of here in no time.”

“Of course,” Aizala replied with a small smile and sat perfectly still as Viasse scanned her.

Running a quick scan, Viasse glanced past the tricorder to Tija. “If you don’t mind my meddling,” another lopsided grin, “what’s your speciality?” A comfortable silence consumed her as she waited both for Tija’s answer and scan results.

– NDr. Viasse, Internist

The tricorder would show that Aizala was generally in good health. There was slight tension in her neck, shoulders and upper back. But other than that all her vitals were well within the norm for a Bajoran woman her age; with her blood pressure being on the low end of that spectrum.

When Viasse asked about her speciality, Aizala involuntarily bowed her her head and closed her eyes for a short moment. Lifting her head again she said steadily and in an almost detached way, “You could say I’m in between specialities at the moment. My speciality used to be trauma surgery and emergency medicine and I have a lot of training in so called alternative medicine. I’m thinking about switching either to gynaecology or pharmacology.”

“Well.. there’s no shortage of opportunity to explore here,” Viasse smiled, softly. She took note of Aizala’s tension, opting to address it rather than entertain her idle curiosities. “I noticed your scans are revealing some tension around your neck and shoulders,” she smiled, “are you experiencing any fatigue or related symptoms?”

– NDr. Viasse, Internist

Reaching with one hand for her neck, Aizala nodded, “Yes, there is always some tension in my muscles in that area. I don’t even notice it anymore. And no, I don’t. If anything I’ve been feel restless lately. Being on leave did not agree with me. I don’t do well when sitting around doing nothing, especially when I know there is work to be done and I could help.”

Viasse gave a slow, thoughtful nod. She could imagine the frustration Aizala might have felt to be a physician without the ‘okay’ to practice — on a medical vessel, no less. That alone was enough to ruffle the calmest of feathers.

“It sounds like you’re incredibly dedicated to your work,” she spoke with subtle admiration in her smile. “You mentioned the psych department cleared you for light-duty…” Viasse reflected “…how do you feel about that?” Though she suspected Tija’s restless and tension might fade some by her duty, Viasse didn’t want to assume on the off-chance she was wrong.

“I am relieved and excited to be back on duty. Even if boarding evaluations and treating minor injuries are all I’m doing for the time being,” Aizala replied without hesitation as her expression and body language conveyed genuine happiness. “After everything that has happened during my last mission, or rather everything that mission has brought to the surface, I know that I still have a long way to go and that, at least for the time being, I should try to avoid high-stress situations or things that might be triggering. I’m not happy about that, but I understand that isn’t not only in my best interest, but most importantly in the best interest of every member of staff and every patient who walks through these doors,” she earnestly, the happiness from a moment ago, suddenly replaced by a sadness she was trying to hide behind a smile and her calm, professional demeanour.
