 I had to stare at the poor patient that was Lt. Day. What struck me most was despite the injuries, Lt. Days synaptic relays were operating , if not slightly above, within expected parameters, which means to say that Day was feeling all of this, all the severed limbs and crushed bones, all of the nerve endings on the skin that were either severed of burned, he was also probably drowning in his own blood too.

  Dr. Tal and Dr. Herel were starting on their assigned areas, as with Dr. Stewart. I  had the C-5 vertebra and up. While scanning the head for injuries, I decided to plce an alpha wave inducer on Day to help him relax. His synaptic functions would revert to REM state. After a few sections, I observed days neck muscles relax, as he was entering dream stage. Primary damage was to the eyes, severe corneal damage, traumatized optic nerve damage, Severed oculomotor damage was also present. That we could

fix later, the immediate danger now was the hemmorhage.

   First step was to remove the damaged corneal tissue. Deciding that they were not repairable while in the eye sockets, bilateral eye extraction was performed. The extraction was succesful, and the eyes were placed in stasis for possible repair, however it seemed unlikely.

    Next step was to stop the hemmorhaging and to salvage remaining nerve pathways for further use. Using cryoligation, blood vessels  were sealed before more plasma loss. Also, I used axon microstatic clips to stablize the damaged optic nerves. With the bussines of the oculomator nerves,I was able to salvage an undamaged strip, which I extracted and placed in a cloning solution so I may regrow some nerve cells to replace the ones destroyed.

    After rechecking the ligations and making sure that all of the nueral stabilizers were in place, I packed the empty sockets with sterile packing gel, with .05% Trilidocaine and 250 mg of Staphiloxin. I then proceeded to the superficial wound and burns with a dermal regenerator. I rechecked the damaged to the other sensory organs and decided that they were not as severly damaged as the eyes. The regenerator repaired the damaged mucous membranes in the nares, most likely the result of inhalation of

noxious gasses, and also the tympanic membrane, which was inflammed due to the trauma of the crash.

     As my fellow doctors work on the rest of Lt. Day, I have decided to search the indexes for possible ocular prosthesis.
