[Doc Holliday]

Patient Recovery Room 4, Med Force General and Research, Baffin

For two weeks the woman slept to allow her body time to recover. With nurse Michelle at his side, he entered the room to see his patient conscious. Still, she was weak and would be for some time. He stood next to her and put his hand on the rail of her bed. Looking at Niki, he shook his head a little. "That cat has been nothing but a pain but......." He nodded a little, "She has been a loyal friend. So long as she stays away from the equipment I will allow her to stay here."
He then turned to Michelle, "Would you mind getting a large pillow and some cat stuff."
"Yes, Doctor," she then turned to go get what was requested.

He then took her left wrist and checked her pulse. Gently putting it down after a minute, he then started listening to her heart being careful to not touch healing wounds on her chest. With a sigh, he took a seat beside her. "Welcome back. You arrived here two weeks ago. You are on Med Force General and Research in the Baffin system. No one will find you here, not unless you want them to."
He was examining her. The facial bruising had mostly cleared up except where her orbital bone had been fixed. It was still sore to the touch.
"Yes, you are healing slowly but nicely."

He leaned on the rail a little and smiled upon her. "My name is Dr. Holliday. My counterpart, Dr. Brandt, will visit you soon. "
He looked at the cat again and gave a snicker, "I wish I had a friend that loyal or even a woman that dedicated to me."
He then looked back at her, the smile running from his face. As Michelle re-entered the room, he began to touch the varying spots on her body that had been cut or smashed. He then motioned for Michelle to sit across from him.
"You kept on saying that you were free. Would you like to talk about that? That is, if you feel up to it.?"
