Medical anomalies, human conditions [Mira, McCoy; closed]

There was no excuse. For Mira, there was no explanation for what had just happened. One moment she was glancing over notes she'd been working on to help perfect the fuel for the rockets, and thinking about what a primitive technology it was (but a necessary primitive precaution), and then the next she was surrounded by a group of science division ( Read more... )

Standard procedure when someone contacted Medical was to first relay the message to the officer in charge and prepare the necessary scanners and bed. Then, if it was an emergency or involved any of the senior officers, instructions were to find the CMO and alert him of the situation. Technically, that wasn't standard Starfleet procedure, but it was on the Enterprise; McCoy had terrorized the nurses, telling them if they didn't find him immediately concerning any of the senior officers, he would have them using antique bedpans for all the patients.

Over time, he’d also added certain names to the list of “notify immediately if…” including Ensign Martine, Yeoman Rand, and Lieutenant Romaine. Which was how he knew she was coming to Medical; and how, when she entered, he was already standing there, hands folded across his chest, looking incredibly irritated.

“What have you done now?” he barked.

Mira released a long, exasperated sigh. So much for going in and out without being noticed. She raised her gaze from her hand, and set her eyes on the displeased doctor.

"Nice to see you, too, Dr. McCoy," she muttered as she walked toward him. With the tone of voice he used, it was difficult not to respond with pure sarcasm. "Oh, you know, I was thinking 'I haven't annoyed my favorite doctor lately,' so I intentionally spilled hydrofluoric acid on my arm." She flashed a cheeky smile before rolling her eyes.

Despite her calm demeanor, her forearm was really starting to burn, especially the area around her wrist bone. Holding a straight face was becoming a challenge as she bit back a grimace. She did not want this to turn into some serious; McCoy would never let her live it down, just as she made sure his wall-crashing incident was never long forgotten.

The minute she said the words "hydrofluoric acid," McCoy went from irritated comrade-in-arms to cool, detached professional. While the nurses and anyone who knew him had seen this transformation before, it still tended to shock the officers who knew him only as the grumpy sonofabitch from Medical ( ... )

Any other time Mira would have poked fun at how quick he turned his gruff attitude around, but the deep throbbing pain was enough to make her put the sass and sarcasm aside for the time being.

She took slow breaths as she listened to him, hoping it would help to keep her voice calm. "Let's see," she answered; her voice shook slightly. "I knocked over a beaker that contained water, but I don't know what its exact measurements were since I didn't put it there." She made sure to note that fact because it still boggled her mind as to how it appeared. “Based on the amount of hydrogen fluoride it mixed with, then I want to say that its concentration is no more than… 12 ( ... )
