Patient: "Nina"
Condition: Serious and Guarded
Dr. Holliday had much on his mind as he finished his check of Nina. While she was healing nicely and on the road to recovery, the thoughts and threats of Lynn weighted heavily upon him. Never before had he dealt with someone such as herself nor did he have a clear idea of what to do. Curing Lynn of Cardamine seemed to only make things worse.
Thoughts raced through his mind of what might happen if he stalled much longer. His ship, his crew and most of all, his credibility. It was the first time he could remember that he wanted to just go home and forget.....but he knew he couldn't. He kept in mind the oath he took to save lives whenever and wherever possible and not to discriminate who he treated.
He pulled up a chair and sat to Nina's right, folding his arms next to her as he quietly spoke to her. He knew she could hear him and hoped she would reply.
"You're doing very well," he began, "I'll have you on some soft foods probably tomorrow. I hope you can wake long enough to get a mold made of your mouth so that I can build the partials for your teeth."
He have a chuckle, "No one will know the difference...trust me on that."
"I have someone on ship that is looking for you," he continued, "A Lynn or Lydia. She knows you're here and I'm afraid there is little I can do to stop her from seeing you. I'd rather bring her here myself so that I can supervise rather than have her find you on her own."
He sighed, "I want to help her but I don't know how. I feel so......." He just sighed, feeling as if he had failed. He sat quietly, hoping she would give him some direction. He never thought a patient in her condition would be giving HIM advice but he hoped she would.
