Glad to see a patient doing well after his work, Doctor Holliday approached Bret with a smile and a handshake.
"It's good to see you again, Bret. I hear you need some minor attention." He then motioned down a corridor, "Please, follow me."
They made a walk to a robotics lab where Bret was then instructed to release his arm. At this point, the nub of his arm was examined, "No infection of any kind so we're good there." He held the arm up, examining it more closely with one of the robotics techs who commented, "Looks like some chaffing, Sir. We can have that addressed in about an hour or so."
"Make it so," replied Doc to the tech.
The tech then took some measurements of the outer circumference of the nub of his arm and even made sure the sensor implants weren't causing any chaffing or infection, which they weren't. The then took a measurement of the inner circumference of the socket of the robotic. Once done, they took it to an area of the lab where it was milled with a laser.
As the work on the robotic was being done, Doc himself treated the reddened skin of the nub.
"I don't know what your daily routines are but I would advise that until this heals on it's own completely, probably a couple of days, take it off while it's not being used, probably while you sleep I would imagine."
After a good cleaning and treatment, there was still time so Doc decided to treat his patient right.
"While we wait, Bret, shall we do lunch?" he asked. He then looked at his arm, "Don't worry, no one will say anything. They know better than that." He then added, "Of course, your lady is welcome to join us."
