"Vixen, if I may call you by first name, I will make sure that before you all leave that everyone gets at least a full check-up and whatever treatment that will be necessary," he re-assured. "We survive on donations out here and don't turn back anyone. It's worked rather well out here."
He then smiled as he tried making friends with Licentia. "It is children like you that got me into pediatrics. They are my life."
When Brettonias handed Doc his arm, he examined it for a moment while Dr. Richter examined the shoulder.
"John, I think you should take care of this part. I'll take the arm," stated Richter.
Doc examined the shoulder. For the most part, it was in good shape. A new Teflon coating would be in order as would some light tissue repair.
He started examining the area with a deep tissue scanner. As spoke as he looked, "the nice thing with light tissue repair is that I can do it while we speak. It's minimal but just in a place where it's annoying."
He then took out another device with a small tube on it. "This is a combination of a boroscope and surgical tool. You'll feel a prick as it enters but nothing more."
He entered just below the socket. As he worked, all could watch on a small monitor. He cut away a small piece of torn tissue, repaired it and auto-sutured it before removing the tube. The whole process took all of 10 minutes.
"Rest it for a few days," Doc ordered. "No combat, athletics or heavy lifting. It's a precaution more than anything."
"I have placed specs for a new arm," explained Richter, "our team is custom building it. For now, your old one will have to do. Just forward any special needs for it to the team and they'll include them."
Doc smiled, knowing he got his work done in a timely fashion. "So, shall we eat first or do Vixen and Licentia want to be looked over first?"
