The worst part of this, he thinks dully, is that he can't even get a frakking drink or ten and blind himself the way he knows half the crew's doing right now. Not unless he wants to wake up dead; despite it all, he still doesn't want to die.

So Gaeta settles for wringing a shot of morpha out of Cottle under the insistence that his new pain meds aren't doing frak-all, and retreats to Milliways, and sits with an untouched mug of coffee as he turns his face toward the lakeshore windows.

It's so green out there. It's such a frakking crock.




[ooc: not plotlocked, but please PM me before tagging! Gaeta is not in the best mental state right now.]

He hesitates.

"There's the nerve block." Quiet. "If you'd be all right with another stay in the infirmary."
simon_doctor: (that's not good)

"You'll need to stay hydrated," he cautions him, "and I'm going to want to monitor your blood levels. There's an increased risk of alcohol poisoning."

A beat, as Simon regards him.

Quietly: "I could just sedate you, if you'd rather."

Gaeta may not notice it, but Simon does; he nods, and starts moving. "Let's get you to the infirmary first, either way."

There are a few private patient rooms in the infirmary; they're meant to prevent contagion, or for lengthy convalescence. Under the circumstances, he thinks one of those might be a better idea than the main room.

"This way," he tells Gaeta once they're inside, and shows him toward one of the side rooms.

Simon lowers the bed so that Gaeta can slide into it without having to be helped, shows him the controls to lower or raise different parts of it, leaves him to make his own adjustments while he gets the items he needs from the main room.

Knows that nothing he can do will help alleviate the source of this suffering.

He returns quickly, with the nerve block and a non-invasive monitor, with a clip that slides over the patient's index finger and an adhesive patch to apply to the base of his neck. If toxin levels in his blood get too high, or oxygen levels sink too low, the monitor will first page Simon and then send a general alarm to any doctors in the vicinity.

Once both have been applied: "Can you feel anything?"

In some dark corner of his mind, he wonders if he'd be doing anything different if it weren't for that jibe from the man whose name he still isn't sure of: willing to let a man lie in misery without taking action --

The hell with it.

"This isn't generally accepted medical practice," he says, quietly wry, "but if you let me know the kind of alcohol you prefer, I'll get you some."

Simon pauses, already shifting his weight to move. "Yes?"
simon_doctor: (that's not good)

[personal profile] simon_doctor 2012-09-25 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)



"Do you know how many hours?"
simon_doctor: (tired)

[personal profile] simon_doctor 2012-09-25 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
He considers for a moment.

"Let me get you that bottle in the meantime," he says slowly, "and check your blood levels when I get back. And ... if you want, I'll stay here and let you know as soon as it's safe."
simon_doctor: (pensive)

[personal profile] simon_doctor 2012-09-25 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're welcome," he murmurs, and slips out of the room again.
