Doc made his rounds on this particular morning. He was sort of withdrawn but held his professional composure.
Visiting Nina first, he took the time to chat with her, taking her hand in his in comfort.
"I don't consider the liking of ceramic teeth over partials vain at all," he said with a chuckle, "I think you would be surprised how many people take them over partials. A few days of discomfort is worth it to them."
He then thought for a moment, "Yes, I can give you a therapist if you wish. I was going to anyway once you healed up a bit more but it seems you have your senses. Of course, I'll do my best to help you when I'm here. I do hope the physical therapist is helping you out. If you can get your strength up, I can have you start light physical activities and build up from there. We have a great zero gravity handball court on board but you'll need your legs for that!"
"One last thing to consider, which I can do at anytime," he continued, "I will be removing all scars from injury or burn as soon as your ready. I have a machine that I use especially for it. You will be put to sleep during the procedure and remain so for 24 hours afterward. I will explain why later. I can set it up for later today if you like. Think it over and I'll be back shortly."
With that, he let her hand go and went to Lynn's room.
"Good morning, Miss Lynn," he said, trying to put on his best face. He then took a seat next to her.
"I understand that you wish to have those scars all removed sooner then later." He then nodded, "I'd like to make that happen and can do it."
Having her pull her shirt up enough to examine one, he measured it. Then, he measure the others as she allowed. He took a few notes and pictures with his datapad and scanner. He then sat up and spoke kindly to her, "I can fix those as if they never existed. It will require that I put you under for a 24 hour period as any movement or touch can ruin the process. If you are fine with that, I will arrange it."
He sat long enough for an answer.
