Just WHAT are these physicals consist of? I'm not going to be turn into some lab rat just for the sake of "health". GLaDOS did that enough recently.

[notlewis]

Ordinary physicals, governed by the Hippocratic Oath and common medical ethics. I'm not asking to dissect anyone-- it'll be no different than going to the doctor.

[is_the_ultimate]

Ordinary physicals after what just happened?

That's a load of bull.

[notlewis]

What are you expecting?

[starlight_ace]

That seems perfectly fair, actually.

[notlewis]

I'm glad you think so. I understand that some people might be uncomfortable with it, but it's really very standard procedure.

[starlight_ace]

As long as it can maybe save even one person's life, then I'm all for it.

[notlewis]

That's the priority, absolutely.

[governorkang]

You've got one Council member's vote.

[notlewis]

Happy to hear it, amigo.

[restoresbalance]

I'm going to agree with Nanoha--I think this is a good idea.

I'm not a doctor--is there a standard procedure you follow? Maybe making that procedure known to the crew so they know what to expect will help alleviate some of the discomfort.

[notlewis]

I'm not a (medical) doctor either, but I can promise it won't be anything out of the ordinary. Measurements of height, weight, a full-body scan, possibly a blood sample at the most, to check for type and if you need anything special in a transfusion. Quick and painless.

[restoresbalance]

It sure sounds routine. I'll back you up on this to the Council as well.

[notlewis]

Thanks for your support, amigo.

[morphitudinous]

Do you require any special preparations on our parts beforehand?

[notlewis]

Nothing in particular. Unless you are a species other than human, and then it would help if you could explain some things to the staff, but I don't think you personally have to worry.

[morphitudinous]

All right. I don't currently have injuries to make note of, so I should be prepared to report in.

[notlewis]

I'll let you know when we're ready to go.

And I have to do it too, in case anybody was wondering.
