Don't You Fret My Dear, It'll All Be Over Soon; I'll Be Waiting Here For You

WHO: Jax Teller, Neil Mackay, Peeta Mellark, and anyone who wants to visit them, doctor them, or look after them
WHERE: The hospital
WHEN: The days after the Obscurus rampage
OPEN TO: Anyone who wants to visit the patients, anyone who's hurt, or anyone who's got any reason to be in the hospital at all. Tag each other! Mingle! Commiserate!
WARNINGS: People got hurt, so injuries and wounds, presumably blood, at least one head injury, probably nightmares, and various medical things could all crop up here
STATUS: Open (please state who the tag is for and a general idea of a timeframe in the subject line of your comment!)




The doctors in this place were as quick as they could be with limited supplies or trained personnel. Within a very short time of the smoke monster smashing through one man and slamming a few others aside, they had the injured moved into the hospital, cleaned up, and attended to as best they could. The lack of supplies and technology across the entire village was felt more in the medical field than any other, but all the members of that little group were resourceful and determined, and at least while some of the injuries had been severe no one had been on the doorstep of death. It was easier to treat a person when you were sure they would keep breathing.

Still, a lot of it had been improvised, and no one could be healed in an instant; they'd all have to do it the old-fashioned way, letting time and rest mend their wounds. Neil, Jax, and Peeta had all been placed in the same room in the hospital just to make it easier to keep tabs on them and for companionship through the night. The beds were spaced far enough apart to give some sort of privacy if the conversations were kept quiet and spare blankets had been tacked up that could be pulled back or dropped like curtains to give at least a visual barrier around the patients, but no one was far away enough from each other to not be able to talk (or listen) if they wanted to. A few chairs were available for visitors' use, though slightly rickety and not up to much punishment. All three of them would be there for a good bit, so the goal was to make their stay as comfortable as was possible.

Pleased that his presence is so well received, Benedict smiles easily at the doctor when she starts to order him around, felling well-used to that sort of thing and more than happy to oblige.

If only he knew what she was talking about.

"I'm afraid I'm not sure," he hedges, frowning slightly, not quite wanting to admit to the fact that he doesn't know what 'tape' is. "I can certainly fetch wood for splints, but as for clips...I do not think we have those in abundance here either." They don't have anything in abundance, really, which is quite frustrating sometimes. More than sometimes. Most of the time. He's learned to compensate, but it's still frustrating.

It isn't that she really blames him for not knowing what tape is, she really can't blame him for anything that his universe might have left off getting to yet.

"We could really use a decent adhesive," she says, her own irritation at the situation slightly showing through. "But I'll take clips of any kind, if you happen to see them. The list of things we don't have is larger than what we do have."

Seriously, their supply list is tiny and it frustrates her daily. Compensating is great, but it doesn't diminish the frustration. One of these days her colleagues are going to hear her start to complain about the technology. Really complain about not having hyposprays or tricorders or a regenerator. What she wouldn't do for one of those.
