The Sound Below Sound

by Dorinda (@adnirod)

When the Grey Company escapes from the Paths of the Dead with an army of ghosts at their heels, Legolas believes that everyone who entered the Dark Door has emerged again unharmed. He's wrong. Some wounds cannot be seen.

subtle intimacy is so soft. knowing someone’s routine and slowly becoming a part of it. memorising favourite teas and soups and drink orders. good morning and good night texts and messy paragraphs of love written half asleep. nicknames only you know. just small things that say “look how dear you are to me.”

McCoy by thrvrnd

[thingummies-and-whatsits]

So as CMO he's gotta have a grasp of the specifics of care delivery living in a working ship. Like, the nurses and other doctors can get away with expert medical knowledge but McCoy has to understand the rest of the ship in some detail. Holistically

Like, he needs to understand when an engineering emergency fix is risky because it might fry the cables, or if it's risky cos it might maim the technician. And it's better for everyone if he's already mobilising an onsite medical crew before Kirk thinks to prompt him

He also needs to have some idea of how physically demanding different jobs are. Like, if Sulu has a broken hand can he operate the control? Probably not. But he could do it with a broken foot. But yeoman Rand runs around all day, she can't get the same 'light duties' medical clearance to do her job with a broken foot. He understands what light duties are for every role on the ship, because these crew can't be trusted to self report accurately. They all wanna work

This results in McCoy hanging out wherever there's something interesting going on - like heading to the Bridge when medbay's quiet - to learn what the different alerts and codes mean in terms of medical impact. He also spends time down in the engine room, getting an idea of what the work is like there. To onlookers he appears to be shooting the shit with Scotty, but he's there learning. And while he couldn't do the work, he knows exactly what the work requires

He doesn't closely track every crewman's wellbeing, that would be excessive. Theres other doctors and nurses to keep an eye on them, and he trusts them. But he tracks the overall arcs. Three more infectious illnesses then last week, nothing the computer would notice but they're all in botany so we're vaccinating the botany staff and investigating cause there. This month we're down on accidental bumps and cuts in shuttles, but had one significant injury so medical is advising the captain to maintain increased mandatory training. Spock and Kirk are still overdue for their physicals, so McCoy needs two days of light duties to focus on wrangling them

He's also their best trauma surgeon, so sometimes he's inaccessible for six hours cos an ensign mangled their elbow in a Jeffries tube

Fun fact: Poirot uses a letter opener shaped like a tiny sword, which was a birthday gift from Hastings!

- We all want to keep our jobs.

- We’re not all engaged in a high-minded pursuit of truth.

- Well, not high-minded, perhaps. But we want to know, don’t we?

- Yes, Lewis, we have that in common, police and academics. We want to know. The difference is that we’d be sacked for withholding informations.

sorry if i’m being a party pooper but because rabies is apparently the new joke on here ??? please remember that rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate after symptoms develop so if you’re bitten or scratched by an animal that you aren’t 100% sure is vaccinated then GO TO A DOCTOR. it’s not a joke. really.
