The doctor stood still, a steaming mug of hazelnut flavored blend of coffee in one hand and a PADD in the other as she looked over Mojo's status. The dark skinned man looked gaunt, his smile was gone and parts of his skin were an unusual shade of color. The spider that had bit him had filled most of his body with venom of some sorts. It also appeared to decompose skin around the spot the spider had bit the man at. It had left his hand almost skeletal in nature and yet it still looked like it had blisters that festered and blacked burned skin around the spot where he had been bitten. Dr. Frost shook her head as she took a sip of her coffee.
Ilse had to do the best that she could it had appeared that after time the man had actually lanced the bite and had literally bit it and sucked the poison out the best he could or had simply let it drip and drain.
He still ran a fever, and he didn't look like he was going to get any better any time soon. "If only..." she said "If only, someone had been there to deal with this at the time the bite had occurred. Ilse set down her coffee and pulled on a pair of gloves. She then gently pushed and probed around the spider bite.
Mojo groaned in his sleep, his dark eyes opened as he searched for the reason of the agony he felt. "Stop, please." His voice was a broken whisper
Ilse stopped and then applied a old fashioned warmed compress too the spot.
Mojo sighed softly, the heat made the bite feel wonderful.
"Hey Mon, Is it better yet?" The dark skinned man asked
Dr. Frost looked at Mojo "I am doing what I can. How do you feel?"
"Thirsty" was Mojo's reply.
"Good" Ilse replied with a grin and helped him sit up slightly so that he could take a few sips of water.
“Leave that compress on there, change when it cools. Give, him pain reliever every few hours as he needs and for maybe try some soup, start with a broth, then add vegetables and see what happens.” Frost said as the Nurse came up beside her.
“Yes Doctor.” The Nurse said
“If you need me late I’ll be at the Commodore’s party. I suspect that if I do not attend that… well… it simply won’t do for me to miss all the fun that I could be having.”
Ilse grinned, there would have to be a medical emergency for her to miss the party but she wasn’t going to just run away from her patient either. “Also do not hesitate to contact me if her worsens.”
Dr. Frost patted Mojo’s leg “now don’t have any worries ok, it actually looks better then what it has been. Your fever has lessened which tells me that your body has begun to remove the poison form it and that you’ll be up in no time.”
With that Dr. Ilse Frost headed out to go prepare for the party.
