She nodded. “Give him amiodarone 200mg TDS. rescan him and review after 3 days, all going well, that can come down to BID for a further 2 days. He’s a young fit chap, there should be no complications.”

Dural acknowledged also with a nod, and began preparing the medication confirmed by Bracken.

“Excellent. Now….” she paused briefly for thought and then picked up one of Stan’s hands, holding the palm in her left hand, then carefully examined the extremities of the fingers. THe contrast of his large, warm hands against her cool, delicate, though strong fingers. “No sign of circulatory loss, or cyanosis.” She pinched his fingertips. “Feel that?”
 
“ Aye ma’am.” Stan replied helpfully.
 
“Good. Computer, give me a neurological scan. Display when ready.”

A few seconds later the holodisplay changed to an exceptionally intricate display of the neurotransmitters in Stan’s arm and neck. Ailynn carefully manouvered the image, zooming in to the neural pathways, running her trained eyes over the scan. “I don’t see any damage, looks like you just gave yourself a hell of a kicking...However…”
 
“ Oh? “ he asked.
 
“Couple of mineral deficiencies, nothing major. Dural, can you give him a mineral shot? Na, K and Ca. Top up the B12 too if you’d be so kind.”

“I’ll have to replicate the electrolyte solution. We’ll infuse them over a couple hours to ensure we don’t over load his system,” the Cardassian said. 

“Excellent. Now, as you say, best keep him in under obs. He can be discharged at shift change if his obs are steady. Any change I’d like to be informed please. I’ll be in my office most likely for a while catching up.”

“Aye, Commander.” Dural said. He gave out a short shrill whistle, which grabbed the attention of two nearby orderlies, “You two, please move Mr. More to the observation area. I’ll be over in a moment with the medications he is to receive.” Dural pushed the “crash cart” back to it’s original position.

The pair both rushed off to another room and quickly and efficiently grabbed an antigrav gurney. They adjusted it’s height and position to be even with and touching the biobed that Ensign More found himself laying. They pushed a button on the side and the gurney maglocked itself to the biobed so as to be stable enough to hold several hundred kilos with out moving an atom’s breadth. 

“Sir, kindly scoot over to the gurney and we will be more than happy to move you to your next biobed.” The medic stated politely, but in such a way that implied none of the silly business of walking would be entertained.

After the young man moved over to the antigrav completely, and in a supine position,  the maglocks were released from the side and both orderlies flanked the long sides to prevent More from rolling off.  They guided the gurney over towards his new accommodations. Once they moved over to another biobed they re-locked the gurney in place, and again kindly asked the young Ensign to move over under his own power.

Dural then appeared holding two vials and two bags of a clear liquid. “Stan, may I call you Stan?” Dural asked.

“We are going to have to set up an intravenous infusion for the two medications that Doctor Bracken ordered. I want to be sure that we don’t have any adverse reactions, so we’ll give those medications slowly over a period of time rather than instantaneously with a blast of the hypospray. Do you understand?”

“Good.” Dural said, “to start we’ll have to set you up with our Starfleet issue medical infusion set. Your arm goes in this ring, which mounts to the biobed. The ring accesses the veins in your arm, you might feel a slight pinch when they do. The system will give you the medication at a slow rate so we can monitor your progress. It works best if you lay still. So once we start this up, my recommendation is to take a nap and by the time you wake up the infusion should be complete.”
