After all the excitement of the last hour with the floating rocks etc., Dr Jolly continued with his normal routine. He was able to enter his office again and he set up monitoring the bridge communication on his computer, so that he was ready for any emergencies should they occur. The rock situation seemed to be under control, although no information was forth coming yet. He also noted that there were two ships involved in the current situation a Ferengi ship and a Nausicaan ship.
That doesn't look good.
Looking through the glass wall of the CMO's office he noted a patient had entered the sickbay and was currently being triaged by Senior Nurse Phyllis Crabkey. Phyllis was an excellent nurse from all observations and Jon had considered her for the position of Head Nurse, but there were several other candidates and he wanted more time to observe them all before making any decisions.
Dr Jolly headed out of the office into the main sickbay to lend a hand.
"Nurse Crabkey, can I be of assistance?" Jon asked with a smile.
"Oh! Dr Jolly, I did notice you. Yes. Engineering Officer Bradford has a dislocated shoulder which will need manipulation," Nurse Crabkey replied.
"Will that hurt, Doc?" Bradford asked
"Oh no." said Dr Jolly, "well maybe a little bit."
Nurse Crabkey, who had a little grin after Dr jolly's reply, prepared the patient for a closed reduction as Dr Jolly explained what he was going to do.
"The most important treatment for a dislocated shoulder is getting your arm back into its socket. This is called a closed reduction or manipulation. During this nonsurgical procedure, I will physically push and pull your body on the outside to set or align your shoulder. It is very simple; I've done these many times. Now I need you to relax your arm as much as you possibly can and let me do all the moving and adjustments."
Dr Jolly moved Bradford arm into the start position for the closed reduction and with a push and a shove, a might wack of the shoulder slipping back into its socket and an absolutely scream of excruciating pain from Bradford, it was done.
"YOU SAID IT WOULDN'T HURT!!"
"Did I?" Dr Jolly replied in all innocence, "Did I say that, Nurse Crabkey?"
"No, Doctor."
"No mate, these things hurt like buggery. But it will be okay in a little while, as good as new. Nurse Crabkey will put that in a sling for you. You'll need to keep it in the sling for maybe a week and it should be alright. If you have any problems, come back and I will take another look." Jon explained with a checky smile across his face. He turned and gave a wink to Nurse Crabkey as he headed to the CMO's office.

== Aussie Slang translations: ~ "mate" = Australian term for friend or acquaintance. "Bugger, buggery, buggered" = an Australian expression that can mean a lot of things depending on the context. eg "bugger" - a term of frustration when things go wrong, similar to 'OH SH*T' - "Hurts like buggery" - hurts like hell. - "Go to buggery!" - Get lost! Go away! stop telling me sh*t! You can go to hell for all I care. "you're or I'm buggered - Your dead - there is no hope - I'm exhausted - you've been court in the act of doing something wrong or arrested by the police ==
