sirens and silence

Welcome back– I was wondering where you disappeared to. You said almost tip top condition but like what does that meeeean? You okay?

Did you miss me? It means I’m still a little restricted in what I can do; no sports and limited physical activity for a few more weeks still.

Welcome back Dr. Meeks.  Glad to hear you’re on the mend.  Do you need any help while you’re getting back into the swing of working again?  Did they assign you breathing exercises?

New?  My twin sister Stacey is here now too.  She’s an RN so you’ll probably get to work with her lots.  I’m biased of course, but she’s cool.

Well, you’re a familiar face I’m happy to see. How are you Stevie? At this stage, I’m just supposed to make sure I watch my breathing and monitor for any additional or worsening pain.

I have to say you’re right about that, it is nice to have you back. Are you sure you want to worry about what happened while you were gone? I’m sure you could do plenty to make things interesting now. 

How do you anticipate my making things interesting?

In the words of Daveed Diggs, so what have I missed? Has anything interesting happened while I’ve been gone?

Hello, hello! And, a very wonderful afternoon to you all! The time has come for another *gasp* dreaded introduction post! 

My name is Lorelai Reilly, and I am now Dalton Sanctuary’s very own RN! I hear that I will be assisting one Dr. Kit Meeks ( @doctors-kit​ ) with the medical side of things here, both in the hospital wing and in the Sanctuary Clinic! So, any minor scrapes, bumps, bruises, lacerations, fevers, or acute illnesses, feel free to stop by or shoot me a text, I can be where I’m needed in a jif! 

In addition, I will also be teaching all sections of the Human Anatomy course! So, if you’re interested in the class, or if you’re already enrolled in what has previously been a webinar program, please feel free to respond to this post! I’m looking forward to getting to know each of you! I’ve been working hard on getting the remainder of our courses and lessons together, and will be posting more information on the course, as well as its requirements, in the coming days! 

A little more about me, on the more personal side of things! I’m 28-years-old, an avid reader and animal lover, and I’m passionate about helping others in any way I am able! I am also currently studying to receive my LPN degree and license, so that I am better able to serve each and every one of you! So, feel free to shoot me a text, reply here, stop by my classroom, or take a quick detour to the clinic if you’re interested in or in need of a chat! I’m so excited to meet, work with, and get to know each and every one of you!

You’re honestly the sweetest thing -- I’m looking forward to the energy you’re going to bring, never mind the knowledge and support.

Nothing but the white coat and maybe your stethoscope thing… Medical play… that’s a new kink I never expected to have.

I can definitely make that happen. Medical play -- how wonderfully interesting. What are you thinking pretty boy?

Does it come with any pay? No offense, kind of looking to make my way out of here.

Have we met before?

I don’t think we have any paid roles for residents as it stands, but it would keep you busy and give you some direction. What has you rushing out of here Sebastian?

@tdsstaff​

So, who do I talk to around here about getting a job? Preferably on the outside. Don’t wanna overstay any welcomes around here. 

Any volunteers or staff (or residents) with connections?

It wouldn’t be on the outside, but I could always use some help in the medical wing -- mostly taking calls, filing, booking appointments and general office upkeep type things. It would definitely keep you busy.

That moment when you sleep pretty much the whole day…Discombobulating, to say the least. Doesn’t seem like I’ve missed anything too important, anyway. I hope everyone is doing well. 

Oh, I hate that feeling -- when you wake up from a nap and you’re not quite sure how long you’ve been asleep at first.

I remember that, you’re right. It’s important to continue the education, for sure. I’ll bring my brother and Artie with me, if I do go. Now that I’ve said it out loud, I know the both of them will say that I should go too. I don’t know about that.

Absolutely, you should. The more the merrier. I’m really keen for as many people as possible to get involved -- especially when it seems people are exploring their designations so freely. Of course you should talk about it if you don’t mind -- aftercare is so personal so while I can supply and cover the basics, you could be a great example of personal or person specific things to include.

I mean, to me, you always are, Sir.

Maybe I should start wearing my scrubs more often -- or does just the white coat do it for you?

You’re so sexy when you get all… doctor-y and teacher-y.

So I’m always sexy then?

Look at youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Dr. Serious Pants, getting shit done up in here. Maybe I’ll come sit for that learning thing sometime. 

You know if you come along, you’re not allowed to sit on my lap -- if you can resist the temptation, I’d really encourage you to come along for the learning.

This is a really good idea, I’m sure there are people here that could really use that sort of thing– but I’m sure you already knew that. I might stop by some time to see what you’ve got for your kits, to make sure mine is up to snuff and doctor approved. 

There was a good response during the Summer festival and so I wanted to make sure the education continued. I certainly hope to see you in attendance. If you’ve got your own kit, you might even find you’ve got something to share with everyone else. 

Don’t think I did either but, it’s open to interpretation I suppose. Aren’t you just thoughtful as hell? Me? Little old me? Hanging out, making aftercare kits and singing Kumbaya? You never know, I guess. I have a habit of popping up here, there, and everywhere.

That is what the word quaint means. At least how I interpret it. I get the feeling you think it’s a bit of a joke, and that’s your prerogative but if you come along, it’s not the type of session you can afford to not take seriously.

Well, doesn’t that just sound stellar. Thrilling stuff, really. Aftercare kit making sessions, how quaint. Best of luck to you.

I don’t know that I’d describe them as old-fashioned, but sure, whatever you think fits. The point is to make sure everyone, especially those who might not be able to get it otherwise, has access to everything they might need -- both medically and otherwise. Will I be seeing you at a future session Mr. Anderson?
