 The cargo bay was teaming with activity.  In a way, Flip was proud of his team,  they were acting as well, if not better,  than he had expected.  This joy was quickly extinguished as a sharp cry of pain rang out from behind him.

 

 There lay a wounded yeoman, with noticeable severe burns from an exploded ontrol panel.  Already a medical technician was hooking up plasma expanders to stabilize his system.  Flip examined the crewmember, scanning him for internal inuries,  finding out that he was almost in hypovolemic shock,  well , the plasma expanders will take care of that.  Flip sealed a couple of exposed arteries he found ruptured,  called for a nurse to continue

with the skin regeneration treatments.  The yeoman will be fine.

 

 

 

 The next strecher had a crewmember with a large gash to the face,  and after scanning, several contusions to the head, along with massive internal hemmorhaging.  Flip looked closer and recognized her as one of the crew he usually sees in the lounge.  She would have smiled and nodded to him like she always did, if she wasn't unconscious. Flip sighed and thought for a minute, then ordered that she be placed in stasis for the time being.   She

will be needing extensive surgery,  I  cannot save her as of now.

 

    Flip moved on to the next patient, who was cradling an arm,  which; after a pass with a tricorder,  immobilized by a hairline fracture. Flip immediately seized a Calci- matrix injuctor, aimed at the fracture, and melded the two sides together. Flip then strapped on a portable oseoregenerator on the patients arm,  hypospayed a mild  analgesic, and sent the crewmember back to his station, cautioning him not to use much of his affected arm.  

You will be needed more at your post than  lying down  on a strecher.
