All in a {Days} work, -open- continued from Don't run.

[Dr. Eva Thompson]

"I've never heard that one before." she said commenting about his exclamation. "Sorry bout that, the hard parts over." Eva said tossing another blood soaked cotton ball into the hazardous waste bucket. "Well for this wound at least. The wound on your head shouldn't be as sensitive though."

"I'd say chicks dig scars, especially if you told them you got it doing something really impressive like wrestling a bear. I wouldn't worry I don't think this is going to leave too bad of a scar though." Eva said in a perfectly serious tone.

Eva turned and gave a concerned look towards the female detective, laughter was decidedly not the best medicine when it came to broken ribs. "We should tone down on the jokes till she can leave. I'm afraid that means no field work or funny movies for the next week or two." she said with a assuring smile. As luck would have it that was when the nurse came in to summon her away.

"Alright, you will just feel a little pinch." she said injecting Detective Beck "We will give it a minute or so to kick in so you won't feel the stitches." she said gathering up new supplies "So, how you holding up so far?"

[Edward Beck]

"I'd say chicks dig scars, especially if you told them you got it doing something really impressive like wrestling a bear. I wouldn't worry I don't think this is going to leave too bad of a scar though."

“Yeah well, you should have seen this guy. He probably had more hair than your average picnic basket thief.” God, greasy dreads… Eddie suddenly realized just how much he needed a fucking shower. That and a good round of shots just to make sure he didn’t get the wrong end of the subway. For all he knew he was going to break out in a spontaneous case of the nasties in the privates. If that was true the subway better be prepared to buy him a nice dinner….

Eddie wasn’t going to pretend that he like needles. It wasn’t that he was afraid of them, really… that’s not the term that really made the most sense. His eyes closed and he took a long breath to relax. Sticking sharp objects into his skin was always unnatural, he had enough people trying to stick sharp things where they shouldn’t go that he couldn’t quite be comfortable when it was actually the right thing to do.

A smile spread itself across his features as Natalie decided to get the hell out of the room, ”Don’t leave without me, Detective, otherwise I swear to God I’m going to be sleeping in a backless hospital gown on your couch when you get home.” If only she knew that wasn’t a completely baseless threat. Natalie really had no idea what kind of things that Eddie did when he was drinking, much less pumped up with painkillers.

"So, how you holding up so far?"

”Just fine, Doc.” His head turned towards her and he offered a smile, ”Just waiting to get me along before you pump me full of the good stuff huh?” In truth he hated most painkillers. Funny how that didn’t keep him from drinking…

Eva chuckled at his last comments to detective Rocca.

"She should be back in no time. If her ribs are really broken pretty much all we can do is x-ray them and confirm that it happened in the first place, give her a note for work and a few pain killers." she said "Which reminds me, absolutely no strenuous activity for the next week or so. You don't want to rip your stitches."

Detective Back was a good patient he was far from a hypochondriac, had a good sense of humor, and didn't whine during all of the less pleasant parts of his treatment. All the same the jokes he was making were hard to respond to without worrying about a sexual harassment lawsuit. Eva was certain that the man would be quite attractive if it weren't for the injuries.

"No, actually your almost done. Just two more stitches and I can start on your head wound." she replied.

She gave him instruction on changing bandages and proper care for his wound. He had probably heard it all before, but none the less it was better to be safe then sorry. She finished off the stitches and tied them neatly, before putting an salve over them and covering it up with a large bandage.

"Ok the good news is that there are no more stitches needed, the bad news is that I still have to clean out the wound you got on your noggin." she said stifling the urge to giggle at the word noggin.
