Eyebrows rising, Stephen reached for the cart he'd been using to restock the rooms and pulled out a box of Bandaids. "Well, I can help disinfect the scratches, at least, but if your ribs are bothering you that much, I actually will go ahead and call Doctor Voght so she can do an x-ray because bruised or cracked, you're gonna want some kind of medication so they won't hurt as bad."
Pulling off his shirt with another wince, Liam nodded, "Cat scratches," he clarified, moving to a table in an exam area, though he wasn't entirely sure he could get up to sit on it when he got there. Ugh. This was already annoying.
Stephen pulled his mobile from his pocket to dial Amelia as he swiped some chlorhexidine swabs. A brief conversation later and she'd assured him she was on her way down to the MedLab. Nudging a stool over toward Liam, Stephen laid out all his supplies. "Are any of the scratches bothering you more than the others?"
"Not really? They all hurt. But these look worse?" Liam indicated the ones on his right side. "But I'm breathing? It hurts, but it's not... difficult. Does that make sense?"
"It does," Stephen said, opening one of the swabs. "Do you have any allergies or a healing factor I should know about, before we get started?"
He shook his head. "No healing factor, " that was why Shatterstar had insisted on the medlab. "No allergies to medication. I'm sensitive to air particulates and I got pneumonia once that had to be treated with both human and cat medications."
"Excellent," Stephen said, nodding as he began disinfecting the cuts on Liam's side. "Thank you for that information. I'm sure it's all in your file, but I don't have access to that - not until I'm an actual MD, anyway. These cuts are shallow enough, I don't think they'll need stitches. But Doctor Voght will be able to give you a much better estimation once she gets down here. Seems like you've got a good friend there - would you like him to stay with you while you're here?"
"It's up to him," Liam was annoyed that his suitemate had carried him to the medlab instead of letting him walk. He would have gone. But he also kinda appreciated that Star cared.
"I'll stay," Shatterstar said with a resolute nod. "If that's okay with Liam." He was grateful that Liam's injuries didn't seem bad.
Liam nodded, he didn't mind and if Shatterstar felt better staying, then sure. He was taken a few minutes later to get xrays, but the wait wasn't long to get the results. Fortunately, no broken ribs. "Well, that's something good at least," he commented.
Having finished restocking the few bay rooms they had in the MedLab, Stephen looked up from where he was cutting tubing and smiled. "Great. You get the extra strong Tylenol, per Doctor Voght's instructions. I know she probably covered this with you already, but remember you can double up on Tylenol and Advil, if the pain's that bad. Alternating, of course." Stephen stood up and moved over to the medication dispenser. His login wasn't able to get more than the over the counter meds out and any overrides had to be approved by one of the MDs. Still, it was nice he could finish up and Amelia didn't have to stay to do more than charting.
Stephen handed the bottles to Liam a moment later. "Take care."
