Heisenberg - //open - for science! - Bakamono - 09-22-2012
In the back-water reaches of Rheinland, Heisenberg Research Station plays host to a relatively minimal scientific community of fringe theorists, shamed doctors, mad inventors and much more. In one particular office, leased by Cryer for the moment, Karl Kuerbis and his wife Linda were scheduled for a fertility consultation.
*******
Doctor Jung hated drawing the short-straw for Heisenberg shifts. 'Every trek out's the same! Get roughed up: pay some hessians; and when we actually get to the place we have to placate the heaving masses at the bay doors with shiny trinkets just to get to the offices!' Jung muttered to himself behind a phony fixed grin as he handed out microscopes whilst signing away a box of centrifuges and sliding a box of syringes over with his foot. 'Yes-Yes: the corporation ~knows~ you are grateful; thank you gents, now if I we can just get through...' Beside the doctor stood other medical staff with data-boards taking requests by exchanging shouts with the throng, like tic-tac men or market traders. Flanking these were guards toting stun rifles, though no-one took them too seriously.
'Doc Doc! Spare some 'prazaline for a poor clinic?'
'Cryer! I need hypnocil for my sick dog!'
'...analgesics for our burning orphanage...'
'...flux-capacitor for our distressed moose...'
The charity bonanza passed, the crowd thinned, both the genuinely needy and the addicts were satisfied for another day. Jung sighed in relief and signalled the small team to grab their own equipment and follow him to their rented space. 'Doc Doc! Spare some 'prazaline for a poor clinic?'
'Cryer! I need hypnocil for my sick dog!'
'...analgesics for our burning orphanage...'
'...flux-capacitor for our distressed moose...'

Karl Kuerbis and his Wife Linda sat opposite a white-coated doctor who was wearing tailored red trousers 'Your reply was very helpful Mister Kuerbis, thank you, danke. Two years without a pregnancy definitely points to a problem. Your bout with T.B, the Sprague plague, and the significant fever you ran all provide complications.
First of all we're going to have to ask you to cut out those Sauna sessions, recreational drug use, and irradiated areas for a while. Your alcohol consumption is within acceptable limits, just keep it at current levels and you should be fine."

"First of all we're going to have to ask you to cut out those Sauna sessions, recreational drug use, and irradiated areas for a while. Your alcohol consumption is within acceptable limits, just keep it at current levels and you should be fine," the doctor said to the couple.
"Oh, ja, I don't do those recreational drugs anymore anyway, ever since I got my job with the Landwi---err, mein current employer," Karl said. "But no saunas? Saunas are the best, ja?"
"Maybe you could spend more time with me instead?" Linda asked, poking Karl.
"Ach, ja, I guess I could do that. Or we could travel the sector more, maybe a romantic place?" Karl said.
Turning from Karl to the doctor, Linda asked, "Doctor, would that be ok? To visit other places, without radiation?"

'Yah, yes of course: just try to stay within a normal gravity environment with clean air.'
'Ja, that sounds good'
'Good, good, further testing should tell us more, if you will go with Sister Conceptiva here, she will show you to a cubicle." A friendly looking nurse in red scrubs waved.
*****
Nurse Conceptiva asked the patients to both disrobe and wear a simple medical smock: one of the more demeaning and exposing garments seen outside of the S&M scene in the last century.

"Oh, ja," Karl said, "That can work. I'll miss mein saunas though..."
"It'll be fine, Karl," Linda said, as she stood to walk toward the nurse.
"I'm not so sure about that medical robe though..." Karl said, looking nervously toward the nurse.

“It's standard procedure Mister Kuerbis, certain weaves of clothing can interfere with scans and create a false reading.” the nurse explained. “It's this: or naked if you like?”
RE: Heisenberg - farmerman - 10-02-2012
"Karl, quit whining und put on the robe!" Linda exclaimed while her husband looked around nervously.
"Ok, I guess that is ok," Karl said, nodding to the nurse and preparing to change. "Where do I go after that?"
RE: Heisenberg - Bakamono - 10-02-2012
“Back through that door to Doctor Jung” the nurse pointed and smiled “Your wife and I will be just through here.” and motioned toward another door. Linda left through the door with the nurse, whilst The doctor examined Karl, leaving nothing to imagination the examination was both thorough and uncomfortable. The doctors remained professionally neutral, uninhibited by the typical social embarrassment at naked anatomy. After the more tactile, rudimentary examinations Karl was asked to lie down and the doctor disappeared behind a screen. “Don't be alarmed, there will be some flashing but it's perfectly normal.” Moments passed as a humming grew louder, there was a sudden series of very quick flashes before the doctor re-emerged. He gestured above the lying karl as an image took form in the air above him, a skeleton filled with organs and laced with veins and arteries.
RE: Heisenberg - farmerman - 10-02-2012
"Oh, that wasn't so bad," Karl said as he squinted and tried to get his eyes used to regular light after the flashing.
"Ach, is that me!?" Karl said as he looked amazed at the image above him. "That is fancy! You Cryer people are much more advanced than Dr Freud. But, what is that part there?" he asked, pointed toward part of the image.

“That's your rectum mister Kuerbis...good news is: it looks healthy!
Alright, could you cough for me please Mister kuerbis? Excellent. Now could you take a deep breath and hold for three seconds please? Good, now could you touch your pelvis with your nose please?” the man laughed robotically as Karl shot him a quizzical look. “Haha, just kidding, one of our little jokes sorry. Just lay there for a bit longer, I need to record you for a minute. O.k: we're all done there. Now I just need to take some blood and we will of course need a sample.”
RE: Heisenberg - farmerman - 10-10-2012
"Oh, I am glad it is healthy! Mein wife Linda has been making me eat plenty of fiber, I guess it is helping, ja?" Karl said, while still staring in amazement at the scan.
Karl nodded to the doctor about the additional requirements and hoped that they would know the answer soon. Or, at the very least, that there would be sandwiches for lunch.
