Nathan is not the brightest bulb in the box and seems to have contracted a case of pneumonia as a result of his inadvertent swim through a Russian river. This is not surprising, given the cleanliness of most Russian rivers. Nor, in retrospect, is it at all surprising that he didn't think to connect the fact of his sudden dunking and the fact of his developing cold symptoms and come in and see me. And so he was forcibly brought in when his fever hit high enough to cause him to pass out. Thank you for that, Soorya.

I haven't been able to figure out how contagious a strand of pneumonia he's suffering from, so I need to beg that anyone who's been spending a protracted period of time with him (Elpis staff particularly and potentially those of you taking classes with him) come in for a check-up tomorrow. More than likely you'll all have a clean bill of health but if not, this will also give us a chance to get you started on antibiotics so you don't end up like Nate.

(Also, someone needs to reset his 'x days without passing out' counter. Yes, it's after midnight and he's just woken up, so I'm cranky and going to bed now.)

My goodness, you people really can't take him anywhere, can you?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

No, we can't.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

He did not burn out his brain again, did he?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Not this time.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

I suppose that should count for something.

Is this something I can wait to get checked on until I return home on Friday? I did not spend much time with Nathan after his extracurricular activity.

~What? No, you are an Elpis volunteer. You are not waiting until Friday to see a doctor, and you are not going to risk bringing a possibly contagious disease home.~

Medusa, please go to the Medlab. Now.

~Fine, fine. I went. Are you happy now?~

~As long as you were given a clean bill of health, yes, I am very happy.~

(OOC: I will delete this if you didn't mean the end of the ~~ to indicate the end of the Portuguese. Actually Rahne should have the gist anyway but she would assume there was an intent of semi-privacy.)

Sorry to intrude, but I would have to agree with Lady Crystal -- I think 'tis very likely the rest of us are fine, not having been dunked in contaminated water, but it would be reassuring to all concerned to have the possibility eliminated (or treated) as soon as we can.

(Further OOC: *sheepish* Sorry, sorry, please don't blame Rahne for my lousy timing. )

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

You did not intrude. Yes, it is a very good thing that no one else somehow ended up swimming in a filthy Russian river.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Thank you for coming down, Lady Medusa. My apologies for the hassle and I do hope it didn't interfere with your schedule too much, but it is for the best that we get everyone cleared as quickly as possible.

Maybe you should check him for suicidal thoughts? Since going without a medical check up after falling into a Russian river in January, when he's married to Moira, seems a bit like a deathwish to me. Oh to be a fly on the wall for that bollocking...

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

It's already happened. I caught most of it, if you want a recap. ;)

Also, to be fair, I think he was asleep for most of yesterday. Which doesn't mean he shouldn't have gone down to the medlab when he woke up, of course.

[xp_daytripper]

Recaps are fun. Too bad you aren't a 'path, or you could recap in living colour. *grins*

And I've given up trying to fathom Nate and any decisions to do with medlab or his health. If he's silly enough to incur the Wrath of the Redheads, well, that's up to him.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

It is very foolish of him, yes. You would think he would have learned better, but I'm beginning to expect that prolonged exposure makes him think he's developed a tolerance to our wrath. How wrong he is.
