Dr. William! Thank goodness, a friendly face!

I feel a bit lightheaded, but... I believe I shall be alright.

Have you been the victim of threats? Or harassment? Henry, if you need me I'm here for you.

You're feeling light headed? any other symptoms?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I have! Ever since I woke up here!

I have a strange bite on my neck, but for the life of me, I cannot remember how I came about it.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Henry, I don't wish to alarm you, but a strange bite combined with light headedness could be any number of terrible illnesses.

Take your pulse, tell me how your heartbeat is? Are you having hot flushes? Any strange cravings?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Egads! My pulse and heartbeat are both quickening! As for cravings, no. I do not believe I've any strange cravings.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Mysterious bite marks, feeling light headed, elevated heartbeat and pulse combined with a loss of appetite...

Dear god man, it sounds like you've contracted rabies!

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Rabies? Do I have hydrophobia? Dash it all! What do I do?

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

I have a line of treatment available in my surgery, just come down when you're able and I'll take a look at you. Wouldn't want to misdiagnose would I?

Not that I ever would.

I'm a professional.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I shall endeavour to do so as quickly as possible!

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

My door is open Henry.

Henry does not have rabies. He is perfectly fine, I can guarantee.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

The symptoms say otherwise. I've lost too many good men to rabies to just take your word for it.

Private

[notinfected.livejournal.com]

What if I could show tell you where he got the bite from?

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Sir, if you can pinpoint the source of the infection then that would be a great help to me. It could save countless lives.

Private

[notinfected.livejournal.com]

Infection? Hardly. I could pinpoint exactly. But its not the source of a disease.

How far are you willing to go for your patients, Doctor?

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

A virus? How do you know this? Are you a health care professional?

I would do anything for my patients.

Private

[notinfected.livejournal.com]

I don't need to be.

Careful what you promise.

Would you like to join me for wine?

Re: Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

It's not a promise. It's a code of existence.

Wine? While there could be a dangerous virus spreading as we speak? You think I'll simply drink with you while my dear friend may be ill?

What kind of man are you?

Private

[notinfected.livejournal.com]

Forgive me, my apologies. You are all business; I understand that. I respect that. By offering you wine, I was inviting you to my quarters where I would then relay important information regarding this... virus.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Ahh. I understand how hard it can be to address these matters in a forthright way, but we owe it to those who need us to do so. I'll be right there.
