It was the end of the work day and Dr. Holliday decided to make some rounds before ending his day. He first stopped in the ICU where Nina lay recovering, still in her coma, under the watchful eye of a nurse who was watching an old movie on the comm system.
"How is she, Michelle?" he asked her.
"She is resting comfortably, Doctor," she answered.
"Good! Good!" answered he responded.
He pulled back the sheets that covered her to inspect the many wounds and burns that still remained. He softly shook his head in disgust as he placed his stethoscope upon her chest, moving it from place to place.
Once finished, he checked the arm that he had pieced back together a few days before and her right shin. Yes, she was slowly healing but she was doing so surely.
He stood up and went to her I.V. He closed a small valve on the line to the bag of heavy sedatives and gave instructions to the nurse, "It will be awhile yet but when she wakes up, call me....no matter what. She won't feel anything and she's still to far out of it to get upset but I want to talk to her."
"Yes, Doctor," she said. With that, he left the room and made his way to Lydia's room.
He entered the room with his bag, greeting her as he entered. With him was Doreen. He didn't examine her the way he had last time but as they sat, he discussed his next plan.
"You have trace amounts of cardamine in your system," he explained, "I suspect it is why you are having such stomach problems. I am going to give you something that will rid your system of it entirely and will repair any and all damage to your body done by the drug."
He held up an injection gun that contained a measured dose, "It will tingle once it's in as it is doing it's job. They are called Nanites and they are similar to the nanos that we use on ships. The difference is, these are living organisms that fix the damage by assimilating themselves as part of whatever they fix. They are also 100% successful and may well help you with some of that memory loss."
With that, he gave her the shot which didn't hurt at all from a quick shot of air. It tingled through her body as it did it's work.
"Lydia, I will check back with you shortly on this," he said, "it won't take long to do their work but I will give it a short time nonetheless."
