Fit for duty?

Mission: Debts to be settled......
Location: Sickbay
Timeline: Current.

Being a recent addition to the Victory crew, Kevin knew he had to make sure he could be passed fit for duty so he could officially take up his position as part of the Security team. With that in mind he headed to Sickbay to make sure he could try and get his medical as soon as possible. Walking through the doors he looked around for someone to ask if the knew where the CMO was, but there was no-one he could immediately see.

Raising his hand to his mouth he gave a sort of low 'harrumph' sound a said in a semi loud voice "Hello, can I ask if anyone's around?"

The EMH heard the comment as he materialized into being. "Please state the nature of the medical emergency." He stated promptly to the crewman."Ah! Ensign The CMO is currently is on an away mission. I am not sure when he will be returning. What can i do for you?" the EMH asked him.

EMH characters were still a fairly new thing to Kevin, there hadn't been one on the USS Frannery during his time there, so he hadn't managed to get used to someone just 'appearing out of thin air'.

It took a moment for him to gather his wits together as he stumbled for an answer to the question "I eh, that is...my..." he began falteringly "What I mean to say is...I've recently come onboard and require a medical to ascertain my fitness for assuming formal duties onboard the USS Victory" Kevin managed.

"Calm yourself Ensign Kevin I wont bite." The emh said with a calm voice. "A fitness exam for boarding it is then. PLease have a seat ensign on the biobed right there." We will have you in and out of here quickly as possible." The emh grabbed a medical tricorder walked over to the patient and started scanning from head to toe the emh did two passes. as he collected the data. "How are you liking the USS victory so far ensign?" the emh asked trying to make small talk.

"Actually it's eh... it's Ensign Kilbane" Kevin said haltingly as he sat on the bio-bed "I've not been here very long, but it seems to be a fairly good place to serve" he finished.

"My apologies Ensign Kilbane did not mean to offend." The emh said sincerely. The emh looked at the master display of the current scans and the record he provided. "Everything Looks good Ensign. Is there any problems or concerns i need to be aware about?" the emh asked the ensign. "If there is nothing else. Your cleared for duty Ensign Kilbane."

"No offense taken Doctor" Kevin replied "I do get the odd niggle in my shoulder sockets, most likely caused from those lovely "The Collective" fellows who would delight in reverse crucifying any USS Frannery prisoners if we caused them trouble. Needless to say I wasn't exactly the model prisoner, so I had a few run ins with them" he finished.

The Emh moved back to him and done a more intensive scan of his shoulder and socket regions on both arms. "I see I can use a regenerator to fix the issue. like new." The emh commented as an option. "What do you think?"

"That would be really appreciated, thank you Doctor" Kevin replied "I was beginning to wonder if there had been some kind of permanent damage done" he finished.

"NO! not at all you got to me in time or it would have been more time to repair but usually there is no limited time on repair just more degrees of pain." the emh said with a kind smile. "I am glad i could help"

Once the procedure had been finished, Kevin lifted his arms and made 'windmills', testing the movement both backwards and forwards. There was no pain or discomfort at all!

"That's wonderful Doctor, I can't thank you enough!!" Kevin exclaimed, grateful that he was now pain free in his arm sockets, something he wasn't sure would be a situation he'd encounter again.

He climbed off the bio-bed and said "If there's nothing else, and you've pronounced me fit for duty Doctor, I'd like to be able to take up my Security position officially now please?"

"By all means."Emh said calmly to the Ensign

"Thank you Doctor, see you again some time" Kevin smiled and nodded his thanks. Turning round he made his way out of sickbay and back towards Security to take up his posting.
