"Ear Infection .. or is it?"

Ens. Elaine Delgado, Ens. Zack Chen

JL Log

Location: Excalibur, Sickbay

Time: some 10 minutes after Simulations

 

 

Zack laid on a Biobed still coming to terms with his memory of what happened in the holodeck, his hearing was bothering him, residual effects were playing havoc on his concentration of thoughts. He groaned.

 

Elaine walked over to him, tricorder in hand. "I really haven't had a chance to look over your file... could you tell me of any sicknesses or injuries you had as a child... anything connected with your ears." She waited for his response as she began scanning him.

 

Zack heard that screeching noise again no doubt some of the feedback was still present in his ear drums, he covered his ears ineffectively as he tried to block out the noise. A minute later he nodded. He had yet another flash back of his hometown when he was around 16. He snapped out of it a moment later.

 

"My 16th birthday ... " He managed to get out before needing to concentrate on his memory.

 

"At that small party, " He paused and tried to remember. "A candle, a cake, my paren - family, my friends. My sister ... She blew a whistle." He winced. "Then i went to the doctor's, they told me that the sound wave from the wistle at close range made a fluxuation. High frequency waves ... vibrated the ear bones very fast ... this is the result."

 

Elaine looked down at her tricorder's readings. "Well, there is some minor damage... nothing a dermal regenerator can't fix." She closed her tricorder and walked over to where the tools were. "However, I think you should stay away from high frequencies from now on." She walked back to him. "What I can't understand is if you knew about this that you didn't try to avoid things that would cause injury."

 

Zack's expression became blank, he opened his mouth to say something but he closed. A thoughtful moment he opens his mouth again. "I don't know. I'm really illogical." He managed a grin.

 

Elaine smiled at his response. "Doctor's orders then... avoid them, all right?" She finished using the dermal regenerator on his left ear, and moved to the next. "Of coures, I could try to find some way to keep this from happening again..."

 

Zack's eyes widdened. "Keep this from ever happening again? Is that possible?" He stopped glanced at her ears without realizing it. "I would like to be present for the testings."

 

Elaine nodded. "That's understandable... wanting to be present. I would have to look over the scans I took of your ears, but there might be a possibility that I could work something out." She finished with his right ear. "I'll also look into your history. I can't understand why a thing like this would not have been taken care of before now." She smiled and stepped back. "You're free to go now...unless there's anything else."

 

Zack looked at the floor and got off the bed. He thought for a moment then shook his head and bowed. "Thank you Doctor, I'll see later and ... thank you." Zack said then made for the door.

 

Elaine smiled at his formality. "No problem." She went back to looking over scans... Zack's ear scans now being added to the pile.
