Whoever the messenger turned out to be wouldn’t make much of a difference. “Which ever is less troublesome for you.” She sighed softly and closed her eyes for a moment before refocusing her gaze on Sharah. “Thank you again, doctor. I’d appreciate it if I could visit him whenever it would be okay. In the meantime I’ll wait for the psychological evaluation.” Her head hurt just thinking about it. “The faster it will be done, the better.”

“I’ll set it up right away.” Fayth left the room and called up to counseling and requested Lt Mika come down.
Mika responded quickly to Fayth’s page. It took her a few minutes to arrive to Sharah’s location from the psych wing. When she did, she asked, “I was paged?”

Sharah nodded. “Hi Mika.” She led her into a side office. “I have a patient, Retired Cpt. She has a pretty high clearance, did some work for Intel, you know the deal.”
“Anyway, she collapsed outside the hospital. She overdosed on sleep medication. Normally not deadly, but she took so much it dropped her heart rate, her BP sky rocketed and she crashed. I can’t release her without a psych eval. Since the medication is not addictive, I suspect that the problem is mental/emotional. There is no chemical/hormonal evidence of a reason she can’t sleep.”
Fayth, SFCMO
“Any idea if it was an intentional overdose?” Mika asked after listening to Sharah. “Enough to make her crash is a lot of medication for just not being able to sleep.” And if Sharah knew, it was better to go in more prepared for what she’d be dealing with.

“Well she did say the dose wasn’t working and so she took more. She also said she didn’t ‘need’ it and could stop any time she wanted. She just didn’t want to. I told her that was good because as of three hours ago she had stopped.” Sharah shook her head, “If she does need a sleep aid, we will have to prescribe something different, Tandra. There was so much of it in her system her body has built up a tollerance.”
“No doubt. As a doctor I know she will end up hurting herself, even unintentionally, at those doses of that med.” Mika said.
“Also, you should know, she has typical Captain’s syndrome by about 1000% worse. When I told her she had to have a psych review, she wasn’t very pleasant. She’s been through a lot lately. Both her uncle, who is basically her father, and her life partner were here for months after their shuttle was blown out of the sky. She’s been handling it aline for some time. Also she has recent severe injuries that weren’t treated properly. I asked General Harris, her partner. He said he knew but it was highly classified. No idea if they are connected, but..” Sharah blew out a breath. “She has a regular counselor she sees in San Fran. I will contact them directly about it. What I need from you is a basic evaluation to see if she is safe to release. Or if she is at risk of harming herself.”
Fayth, SFCMO
Mika nodded. “Thanks for the warning. I’ll go ahead and do a basic eval and get back to you right away.” All that other stuff was better handled by the patient’s regular counselor, though it was good to know because it may make getting a basic eval done more difficult.
