=========================================================================

 CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: enters the room and heads for the refreshments ::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Doors appear in the middle of Sickbay and Yates walks through:: Woo: Welcome Captain.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Yates: Commander.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Woo: You are a little early. Please make yourself at home. ::She smiles::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Yates: Thanks. I look forward to your seminar. :;winks::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Woo: It should be very electrifying. ::Smiles::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She looks around::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
:: stands up after checking his padd :: Yates: Commander, I'm really sorry, but I had forgotten that I have a previous engagement to make <mission>. Have yourself a good one. ::winks::

CO_Capt_Woo says:
I will try to attend your next seminar, however, which is when?

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Understood Captain. Tomorrow at 1900 I believe is my next one.

CO_Capt_Woo says:
Very good. See you then. ::smiles::

 CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::sits back waiting to see what his CMO has up her sleeve::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She looks around as everyone enters:: All: Welcome! Welcome! Please take a seat! ::smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::takes a seat in the furthest chair::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
All: Well take a seat and we will get started! ::Looks around at the small crowd::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::takes a seat in the front::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::Takes a seat near the front.::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She jumps on a counter area in the Sickbay and takes a seat:: ALL: First off I would like to say welcome!

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: This seminar is one that is going to be slightly different. Most seminars you are discussing various issues. Of course we will do that here but I want some of you involved! So after a few minutes of discussion I would like to go into some medical scenarios, where I will need a volunteer. ::Smiles evilly::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: So if I stop you during the conversation please do not be offended! I want time to do at least a few holo-programs. ::She looks around at the audience::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: So lets get this show on the road shall we? This will be an open floor. I want to know what you have witnessed or experienced about the medical staff in Sickbay? When does the Doctor overstep his/her boundaries?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::grins evilly::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: So who would like to go first? ::Looks around at the group::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
I've heard of a CMO transporting to sickbay a crewmember that refuses to come voluntarily

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Turin: Was there an important reason for that?

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::thinks:: Yates: Oh! I know of one...

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Looks at Kimura:: Kimura: Go ahead and share! ::Smiles::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
LtCmdr Yates:  Yes, this crewman needed to be looked over because he was exhibiting some unusual behaviors and his refusal was getting to the point where he was defying a direct order.  The CMO beamed him in his birthday suit.

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
Yates: You've beamed down to a planet and encountered a crewmember in critical condition. This crewmember is a Klingon female...

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
You do your best to revive her. Internal bleeding, slashed organs, spinal injury...seems to have been mauled by an animal.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Turin: Ah yes a very good reason then. A Chief Medical Officer is NOT overstepping his/her boundaries if someone is refusing a direct order and that person may be able to harm some member of the crew or themselves from the illness.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura: We will be going into scenarios in five minutes Ensign. ::Smiles:: Kimura: Then you will see some things that can occur that you would or would not expect.

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
You manage to stabilize her, but its fleeting. A crewmember akin to the woman wants to perform ritual killing to preserve her honor. But you refuse. Is it right for you to refuse when she is near death anyway?

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Looks at Kimura:: Kimura: What do you think?

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
Well, I said no, not until you have done all you could for her and she dies on her own.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura: What if it is the person's and the families will?

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Nods to the Captain who just entered::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
No. It goes against the Hippocratic Oath.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Nods:: Kimura: Yes that is very true. ::Looks around:: All: Any other comments about this scenario? If not we will move to my holo-programs.

CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles back at the doctor and takes his seat in the back::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She pauses:: ALL: Well then please be prepared for some interesting scenarios. I will need one volunteer for this first holo-program. ::Looks around::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::me::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::raises her hand::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Turin: Please come on up Lieutenant.

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::walks up to LtCmdr Yates::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: Now for everyone's safety I have a barrier that will appear when this holo-program begins. If we have time we may go through four scenarios. If not then we will get through as many as possible.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: Scenario One: An Engineer’s console explodes at the top of the Engineering Deck. This causes him to fall from the top of the deck to the bottom of the floor. The Chief Engineering Officer contacts Sickbay and requests an Medical Officer there. This officer is only equipped with a standard medkit.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Turin: Are you ready Lieutenant?

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
Lt Cmdr Yates:  Yes.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Computer: Computer, begin holo-program Yates One.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The scene of Sickbay changes to Main Engineering. The Engineering Officer is on the floor face down, with many cuts and bruises.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She moves off to the side:: All: Now lets see what she does. This will be like real life, however things will not go the way you have planned it. This program is desinged to be tricky.

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::moves to the Engineering Officer with med kit in hand::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::kneels down next to him and opens the kit::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
:pulls out the medical tricorder and begins a scan of the EO::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
CEO:  What happened to him.  ::gestures to the EO::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
<EO>::Moves slightly and then slumps again::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
<CEO>MO: How should I know? Something blew up and he fell down! He is your problem now. ::Walks off::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::scans show that he has broken ribs, second and third degree burns on his arms and face.::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
EO:  Hold still.

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
EO:  Don't try to move.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
<EO>::Tries to move and then stops when the pain is to much. He screams::

MO_LTJG_Turin thinks:  ::what's his problem::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Turin: You better act fast Lieutenant. If not his problems will increase.

Admiral_Kelley says:
::slips in quietly and takes a seat in the back::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::pulls out a hypo and fills it with a small amount of pain medication to help a little before he can be taken to sickbay.  Puts it to his neck and releases it into his system.::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
EO: Hold on, I'm going to turn you over.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The EO begins to convulse after the Hypospray is injected into him.

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::rescans for an allergic reaction to the medication.::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The EO begins to go into shock.

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::reloads the hypo with a counter agent to the pain medication and injects him.::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::gripes the EO by the outer hip and shoulder and turns him to his back.::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Computer: Computer pause simulation.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She watches as the scene turns back into a Sickbay:: Turin: Well Lieutenant? ::She walks to the center of the room::

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
Yates:  I guess I didn't do him any good.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Nods:: ALL: Many different things can occur in the medical world. You do what you can to save a patient, but like what you have just witnessed some people may not react well to certain forms of treatment. Remember it only takes one simple mistake and someone dies.

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
Lt Cmdr Yates : May I return to my seat?

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: Does anyone here believe Lieutenant Turin could have done something else which could have caused a different result? ::Nods to the Lt::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::raises hand::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura: Ensign if you please. ::Motions for her to speak::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
Treatment of burns requires Dermaline Gel. Never turn over the patient until you are SURE they do not have spinal injuries.

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
If you are equiped with it, fracture medication also helps for broken bones.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Nods:: Kimura: A very good point. Turning an officer who may have a spinal injury could harm them even more. But what happens if this person is about to die and you do not have time to check? What do you do? ::She looks around the room:: All: I would like some guesses from everyone around here. ::smiles::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She points to Captain Knight:: Knight: What would you suggest doing?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::looks at his CMO::  Depends on the situation; but I'd try and stabilize them with a rigid piece of material on their back...or, if it's a no win situation, and I had to make a decision right then .... I'd move on to the next person

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Knight: A very good choice Captain. ::Smiles a bit:: ALL: It does not look like you are all interested in talking. Would anyone like to try another short scenario?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
but I'm looking at it from a command point of view I guess

MO_LTJG_Turin says:
::nods::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: I would like two volunteers this time. Any takers? ::Looks around the room::

MO_LTJG_Turin thinks:  ::not that quick to volunteer this time::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Knight: Captain would you be so kind? ::Looks around:: Kimura: Would you like a go Ensign?

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::smiles:: Yates: Sure.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::stands up::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura/Knight: Please come up you two. ::Smiles::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::whispers:: Don't forget who I am ::Grins::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::waits patiently::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::walks up::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Knight/Kimura: Now one of you will play the victim, the other the Doctor. Of course the Captain will play the victim.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
Self: Of course

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: Scenario Two: Your ship is under heavy fire from an enemy vessel. The Bridge takes a direct hit and a metal rod lodges itself through the Commanding Officer. You are equipped with whatever you can find on the Bridge. There is no medkit and Turbo Lifts as well as transporters are down.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Smiles:: Kimura/Knight: Are you two ready?

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
Yates: Sounds like a blast...

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::deep breath:: Yates: Yes.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
You're enjoying this aren't you.....I'm ready

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Computer: Begin Program.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The scene changes to a Bridge of a vessel. It has damage everywhere. Captain Knight has a rod stuck through him and can feel some of the pain.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::Steps back:: Kimura: Now please remember you can use whatever you can find on the Bridge. This is an emergency scenario so you have five minutes to stabilize the Captain. ::Smiles::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::hurts but not bad:: Can't breathe right

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
SO: Gimme that tricorder, now! ::gets the tricorder and scans the CO::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
how far is it in?

Admiral_Kelley says:
::chuckles quietly to herself and thinks to herself that if this was a real situation the Captain would be telling the doctor that he was fine, despite the rod sticking out of him::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::looks down at the blood running out of the hole:: Not again

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::having real trouble getting his breath, one lung is on fire::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::rips off her pants leg:: CO: Here, Captain, you're going to be fine, Bite down on this. ::stuffs the wad in his mouth::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::bites down reflexively and tries to talk too::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::takes a deep breath and pulls on the metal::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura: Lets go Ensign! You are wasting valuable time! ::grins to herself::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::feels a wall of pain smash into him::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
CO: Breath... it'll be out soon.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The metal rod is pulled out which causes the CO to slump over! His heart begins to beat very very fast.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::feels like his heart is going to explode:: What's happening to me?

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::takes off jacket and wraps it around the CO::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::sighs as she watches what is happening::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::things getting very dark ...where is everyone?::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The Captain begins to cough up blood.

Admiral_Kelley says:
::raises an eyebrow at how far the simulation is going::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
CO: Stay with me!  EO: Get those turbolifts going!

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::darker now...and so tired::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
CO: Last will and testament, sir?

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::can't answer cause he's too tired::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ACTION: The Captain's heart stops. The simulation comes to an end and the room changes back into Sickbay.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She walks to the center of the room and looks down at Thorne and then Kimura:: Knight/Kimura: Great try you two. ::Smiles:: ALL: Now what did she do wrong?

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::sighs::

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
::gets up and grins at his CMO::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: I will give you a hint. She pulled out the rod.

MO_LTJG_Turin thinks:  ::I was thinking that::

CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::seeing what time it is, he gets up slowly and quietly slips out the door::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: The rod could have been attached to organs or lodged inside of them. When it was pulled out more damage was done. It needed to be surgically removed. Stabilization would have been your best bet for this scenario.

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
Yates: But how without any sort of medication?

Admiral_Kelley says:
::stands up quietly and nods a 'well done' to Cmdr Yates.  Slips quietly out of the room::

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
Yates: Well, I guess I could have cut off the ends of the rod, but I wasn't thinking...

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
::She looks at the time:: ALL: Well it looks like our time is up. Please remember that being a Medical Officer is a difficult job, not anyone can do it. You need to be a fast thinker and know what to do.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
ALL: So enjoy the rest of the conference!

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura: Yes that would have been a good thing to try.

CMO_Ens_Kimura says:
::grins sheepishly::

MO_Ens_Turok says:
Yates: Thank you for the informative lecture sir.

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Kimura: Also remember these scenarios were created to be very difficult. I have yet to have someone save their patient. ::smiles::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
Turok: Your welcome Ensign.

CO_Capt_TKnight says:
Well

Admiral_Royce says:
:: quietly slips out the back::

Host LtCmdr_Ashley_Yates says:
All: Do any of you have any questions?
