Kane walked up to the doors of the CMO’s office and stopped. Taking a breath, he placed his hand on the reader and the doors slid open. Stepping through, he fought the feeling that he was wrong for being here without her. Looking around at her… now his… office was surreal. And Kane hated the surreal.

He walked over to the desk and pressed the comms. =/\= Sickbay to Ops. Send somebody up here to pack up some personal effects. Make it quick, if you don’t mind. =/\= and he sat down. Taking a minute, he exhaled for a long moment and then reached up and pulled the wild mane of hair out of his face and deftly tied it back into a somewhat presentable ponytail and jabbed a finger at the desk interface.

=/\= I need the Charge Nurse and Senior Medic in my office. Now. =/\= and he pulled the files on all the current patients in sickbay.

Kane, CMO

The charge nurse was doing inventory when she heard the call. “Great. He’s in charge now.” She muttered as she went to the office. “You wanted to see me sir?”

NE Charge Nurse Betsy Buyers.

“I did. Sit.” and he waited for the nurse to be seated.

She sat but didn’t like the way he said it.

“So Lieutenant T’Aria has been transferred. Or something, hell if I know. Skipper put me in the office. So you know what that means… taco Tuesdays are back on. That, and I need you to tell me where in each patient’s treatment plan we are, any concerns you have, and give me a recommendation for Second and Third Watch Nursing Supervisors.” he said matter-of-factly.

Kane, CMO

“Well I am fond of tacos. Once we are done here I’ll get you the charts. I would say you for first shift, NE Doctor Juan Williams for second shift with myself assisting and NE Doctor Ben Carson for third. But you’re in charge so.”

NE Nurse Betsy Buyers

Kane leaned forward and looked her straight in the eye. “I have the charts. I want to know that you know where our patients are with regards to their treatment.” Without looking at the display screen, Kane continued. “Right now, we have nine patients in Sickbay. You are the Charge Nurse, so I expect you to know what is happening with all of them, at least generally, all the time. If I wanted someone to show me charts instead of knowing what is going on, I’d ask the damn doctors.” and he leaned back.

She leaned back when he leaned in.

“And I’m glad you like tacos. That’d be a straight up firing offense if you didn’t. But so help me, anyone tries to feed anyone on this staff a tofu or vegetarian taco will get thrown out an airlock.”

Kane, CMO

She let out a loud sigh. “Fine. Bed one is recovering from a hysterectomy. He will be discharged in one day. Vitals are good and no signs of infection. Bed 2 has a laceration to his wrist, length ways. Guess something happened he couldn’t cope with. He is stitched up and sedated. A counselor will be here when he wakes up.”

“Bed 3 has an upset tummy. That’s her mom next to her and we are waiting to see how the antibiotics work before we release her. Bed 4 I have no clue. She arrived when I was on break and before I could check the chart, you called me over here.”

“Bed 5 had appendix surgery. He will be fine. No fever and is sedated and resting. Bed 6 is that damn hypochondriac. She comes in 3 times a week with made up symptoms. I don’t know if she has a condition that makes her think something’s wrong or if she’s just lazy.”

“Bed 7 and 8 are a squash team that ran into each other at the gym. Hairline fractures in the legs of both of them. And a broken right upper arm for bed 7 and a broken nose and missing teeth for bed 8. Both have been treated and are resting.”

“Bed 9. I don’t know. NE Gilbert checked him in while I was restocking the cabinets and was again about to check until your highness called me to his new office.”

NE Betsy Buyers, nurse

Kane listened and when she finished said “Wait… Bed one. Hysterectomy? He? You wanna try that one again, or at least explain it so that my blood pressure goes down a bit? And get tossed with that ‘your highness’ crap. You know damn well who I am. Just cause I have an office and crap ton of reports to do now doesn’t mean I’m getting airs. Oh, and I’ll deal with Bed 5 and we can both go look at 9 when we are done.”

Kane, CMO

“Fine. Bed one has gone under the knife. He used to be a she but is now having some lady problems. Does that clarify it?”

“Let’s go to bed 9 sir.”

NE Nurse Betsy Buyers

Kane looked at her and blinked twice. “No. No it doesn’t. Hysterectomy is standard practice in female to male sexual reassignment. And the fact that it wasn’t done leads me to believe that we need to do a full work up. Full body scans, hormone profiles, toxicology. All of it. And find out where he had the surgery done, and get me in contact with the quack who missed that. I don’t care when it was done, no one screws up my crew and gets away with it. Bed nine. Lead on.” and he stood and started towards the door.

Kane, CMO

“As you wish. ” She then got up and followed him.

NE Nurse Betsy Buyers

Making his way through the Sickbay, Kane looked at NE Gilbert and said “Ensign. Get me the chart for Bed 4.” and then made his way to Bed 9 and looked first at the patient and then at the scanners.

Kane, CMO

Dr. Blaze entered sickbay his elbow was in bad shape “ can you help me I was using an bow and it snapped on me” he said clearly holding back the pain “ before I came here I had the Replicator to give me some mild aspirins to help with the pain I took 2 pills about 20 mins ago”

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

Kane looked at the Engineer and just shook his head. “A bow. And it snapped.” and he looked at the Charge Nurse. “But of course it did.” and looked around the Sick bay. “Bed ten. Full scans and make sure his aspirins haven’t lowered his blood pressure too far.” and then he looked at the Engineer. “Follow the nurse. I’ll be with you in a moment.” and he then made his way to Biobed nine. He looked at the scanners and then pulled up the chart on his PaDD. “I’m PA Kane, the Chief Medical Officer. What brings you in today?” and he looked at the patient.

Kane, CMO

The patient looked up at Kane and had embarrassed written all over his face. He blushed a bit and said in a low whisper. “I was with this chick in Engineering and we met up at 10 forward. Had a few drinks and went back to her quarters. You can guess what happened next, but it’s been a week now and every day since then the itching has gotten worse and it hurts when I pee. The itching is where my…my… groin is and I’ve rubbed it raw with the itching. What’s wrong?”

NE Brantly Small, Engineering

Blaze was setting on one of the bio beds “Son it sounds like you got something called a STD” he said out loud “they were around in the past they can be taken care of with proper medication and he might want to ask her to come in also to get tested” Blaze looked up at the doctor hoping he was not over stepping his Authority in sickbay
