Ask The Doctor

No wonder she’s angry. She probably has an upset stomach.

Do you need to see @plain-drcorvus-account ?

Does your tummy hurt?? :(

Hitting y'all with @ask-dr-xeno being the "Scary Evil" leader he is(* >ω<) very scary-

I have been informed that you are seriously ill and need to rest. As there is no current medical emergency that needs your attention, I think it’d be best if you focused on improving your health. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that you will recover faster if you rest rather than forcing yourself to work.

Luna, myself, and a few others can manage the medical bay during your absence.

If you refuse to rest, then I’m afraid I will need to use force (and neither of us wants that).

If you find it hard to sleep, I can come down and give you a lecture on why birds are reptiles (I’m sure that will help you fall asleep).

Best regards,

Your Boss (Xeno)

oh... god...

ok. who told him that!?

I took a nap, for the love of...

and I fell much, much, much more better

my fever now is 100,04 F°

something that I can deal with

and I know what force you want to use against me, keep your dog on a leash away from me!

I am fine. I am. i'm fine. really. "Cough cough"

...

Also, why is it when you’re healthy you find excuses to go sleep, but now that you are genuinely sick and I am ordering you to rest you refuse? Since you hate Stan with a passion, I can always ask Maya to force you to rest.

dare I remind you that I always was there when there was some kind of an emergency? what will happen when I won't be there? when you all gonna start dying because I took a day off?

But, again, I promise to violently shake you from your slumber if something were to perchance happen.

what if it's something serious disguised as something minor? what if there cancer, or stroke, or allergic reaction? what if there's something that requires my good observation?

you don't understand me, boss! there's so many possibilities of how you can die that I won't be able to sleep properly!

maybe

maybe I should check my fever again?? maybe it's gone! maybe i've got healthy already? maybe... oh, god why can't I just let go?

Doctor-again, it simply AMAZES me the amount of anxiety you have for your job when you’re ILL compared to your lax attitude when you’re WELL.

CLEARLY you are still ill, and I can base that on your extreme 180 of character. Since you refuse to go quietly, I will simply MAKE you go to bed.

*remembers Stan is on the other the other side of the base* Tell you what, since I’m feeling GENEROUS today, I won’t call Stan all the way here just to throw you into your room.

*grabs the phone on the wall*

Dr. Percival, you are needed IMMEDIATELY in my office. I’m afraid our good doctor needs to be BABYSAT and nursed back to health. I’m aware you may be busy with a project, but this is of greater importance.

*hangs up phone and frowns* now go sit in the chair like a good boy until your care taker comes

I bet you'd be embarrassed if someone had to call commander to aid you!

...I mean. it's not like i'm embarrassed, that onyx eyes will see me humiliating myself like that... no.

Forgive me, I didn’t realize you two were at the stage of developing cute Nick names for each other.

Also, getting sick isn’t ‘humiliating’, doctor. Humiliating would be calling Dr. Percival to come get you if you were passed out drunk in the hallways with no pants on.

Ignore the fact that I am also sick he is more important right now

@dawnlighthours

*sigh* yes, I heard he was ill but refusing to rest. I’ll go speak to him.

Please feel free to carry her like a sack of potatoes if she resists.

Aurora, I’ll ask Luna to check up on you later and bring some tea. If I determine you are well enough tomorrow, then you can go back to work.

These tests get used for all kinds of stuff, and they get used by a lot of people who don't actually know what they're doing, how to interpret the data, or whether there's any real link between what they're measuring and what they're claiming. It's why you see shit going around like "men think of women as objects because when they look at a woman, the same part of their brain is active as when they look at a tool!" and "if you play Mozart for your baby for twenty minutes then their imagination improves, we imaged the brain to prove it!" and "we found where God is in the brain! Christians have more brain activity in this region than atheists!"

There are numerous problems with this kind of science, but the most pressing issue is the validity of the scans themselves. As I said, there's a fair bit of stats to turn an MRI image into 'brain activity', and then you do even more stats on that to get your results. Bennett et. al.'s work ran one of these sorts of experiments, with one difference -- they used a dead salmon instead of living human subjects. And they got positive results. The same sort of experiment, the same methodology, the same results that people were bandying about as positive results. According to the methodology in common use, dead salmon can distinguish human facial expressions. Meaning one of two things:

Dead salmon can recognise human facial expressions. OR

Everyone else's results are garbage also, none of you have data for any of this junk.
