Dr Jon Jolly sat at the desk in the CMO's office in sickbay. He was a little worried. He contemplated the symptoms of his patient in the main sickbay ward. The symptoms where for the common cold. The older looking Australian born doctor knew that these symptoms where as common as the common cold. He chuckled to himself as the thought ran through his head.
If treating the common cold didn't work then it means that she has something else. Then I'll investigate further.
The Jolly by name and jolly by nature doctor returned to the main sickbay ward.
"Ens Constance, I think you have the common cold, which in this century is not all that common. The best treatment is to go to your quarters and drink plenty lemon and honey, with this little mixture I've replicated , I call it 'Lemsip'. It's my father's recipe it contains Phenylephrine and Paracetamol, which will help with the congestion and your slight temperature. I'll let your DH know I've given you two days to recover. If this doesn't work come and see me again."
Jon's mind wondered for a second, remembering his dad, Frank Jolly a doctor at the Base Hospital in the provincial city of Bathurst, Australian where he grew up. Sadness drifted across Jon's smile for a moment, how he wished he could be back down under, how he wish his dad could see him now, Chief Medical Officer of the good ship Titania. But that was not to be and Jon with all the medical science of the day, couldn't change that.
"Oh? Ensign why did the orange stop rolling down the hill?" Dr jolly asked as his patient stepped of the bio bed, and sneezed. "Because it ran out of juice!" Jon chuckled again, "Thought that may brighten your day."
Ens Constance just rolled her eyes at the Jolly doctor and continued out the main sickbay door.
