Entry tags:
general clinic log
Who: Drs. Solus or Strider, various patients.
What: Echo checkups
When: Whenever
Where: LSR clinic
The LSR clinic, despite its run-down, beat-up appearance, is actually fairly clean on the inside. Lit by white fluorescent lights, it's generally pretty empty, with the occasional non-network patient coming in to get something looked at. A volunteer is usually found running the front desk, organizing papers and responding to phone calls, while Dr. Solus and Dr. Strider take care of the actual medical business.
The waiting room is barebones compared to other clinics and medical practices - LSR doesn't have the money to get entertainments for the waiting patients, so all that's available are a few chairs.
When it's your turn for an appointment, whoever's at the desk will direct you down a hallway to the left, and you will meet one of the doctors.
[ooc: general clinic log! all checkups for crazy echoes can take place here. specify dr. solus or dr. strider in the subject line.]

no subject
[he's not sure how to respond to being thanked for still being her friend. it sounds like an odd thing to thank someone for, but he understands the sentiment, he thinks, because he has had moments where he is just overwhelmingly grateful to his friends for not abandoning him.]
I don't make friends easily. So I do my best to keep the ones I have. [it's an attempt to reassure her that she doesn't need to worry about it]
no subject
I have work friends, I guess, but I don't have people I really hang out with outside of work. Not that this is hanging out. [or that it's outside of work. she's still terrified of what could happen next, but she has this sense of relief slowly building inside her, too. she smiles down at Ravi, and this time it's not at all forced or hard-fought.] Once this blows over, we should, like, see a movie or something. And criticize all the medical procedures in it. Crap. What do people with normal jobs do for fun?
no subject
[So he is going to shove it out of mind for the moment.]
[he cocks his head and gives her a wry smile] If I have to give up picking apart terrible movies for fun to be normal, I'll pass.
no subject
[he really is doing a lot, even just by being here, to lift her spirits. if he's the only friend she makes around here? well, she'll consider her time very well spent.]
Do you drink? We could hit a bar instead. [this time, she's aware how much it might seem like she's asking him on a date, but... you know what, she feels confident enough that her intention is clear. she's starting to get comfortable with these happy, in-peace feelings.] Just, you know, celebrating normality. As normal as it gets, anyway.
no subject
[it doesn't even occur to him that it might sound like she's asking him on a date. or that it sounds like he's accepting one. GOOD BECAUSE OTHERWISE THIS WOULD BE MEGA-AWKWARD RIGHT]
no subject
So... okay, I guess the next question is, once I get the cast on, how long should it stay on? Since it's just for show and everything. I broke my wrist when I was a lot younger, but, well, bones don't heal as fast at this age. [jeez, girl, you're 24, chill with the melodrama.]
no subject
Normally a cast stays on four to eight weeks, depending on the injury and patient. Since this is only for show, it can be as long as you like.
no subject
I can tell you right now, though, leaving the field isn't exactly the most appealing option. I like helping people.
no subject
[the mention of her needing to find new work drags his mood straight back down to that anxiety he was trying to avoid thinking about, though. being forced to find a new career is a huge life change and he doesn't even know what he'd do if that happened to him.]
There are a lot of ways to help people.
[he would like to be more encouraging than that, but he just CAN'T DEAL atm, so he's going to cut this short instead] Are you ready for me to get the doctor, then?
no subject
[she takes a couple steps back, her body almost instinctively trying to make itself look as small as possible. if she were in a better mood, she'd probably be able to tell that his reaction here is deliberate. now, she just feels like whatever it is that's rushing them along is her fault.]
Yeah, I'll... just wait here until the doctor's ready. Thanks for talking to me for this long. [nope, not really feeling the eye contact thing right now.] I'll, um, talk to you more later.
no subject
[he steps back, precursor to leaving] You can call or text me anytime you want to talk, alright? [that offer's actually a pretty big deal coming from him.]
[but he is just going to leave it at that and go off to fetch Dr. Solus now. bc CAN'T DEAL]
