un: strange

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Doctor Stephen Strange. Back in my home universe, I once practiced as a neurosurgeon; here, I’m offering my experience as a doctor in ADI’s medical department. With that comes a variety of responsibilities, but also the obligation to make the occasional PSA. So, here goes:

I understand that not everyone is completely trusting of ADI, or agrees with their handling of any given situation. And I’m not here to convince you otherwise. Instead, I’m here to make sure everyone knows that the medical department always has its doors open to any who need it, regardless of your feelings on the organization. So please take advantage of that fact.

If you’re injured, or sick, or feel affected by anything odd or supernatural in this world, don’t hesitate to get yourself checked in. Your health is always of the utmost importance, and we’ll do what we can to take care of you. Remember: you can’t continue to investigate if you’re ill or otherwise incapacitated.

If you need to contact me personally, that’s always an option, too. Doctor Dyer is also available for the same services, and is just as competent — if not more so.

-Dr. Strange


un: emilydyer

Dr. Strange is being kindly flattering in regards to myself, but in regards to your health, he is absolutely correct. My name is Emily Dyer, and I'm operating as another physician in ADI's medical department, with my background best classified under general practice and community medicine.

Our allegiance, in the end, is not to those who've agreed to help ADI, but to anyone who is in need of a doctor's care. Wherever you come from, whatever your take on this entire predicament we find ourselves in, we wish only to aid and to be deserving of your trust.

This sentiment isn't limited to just us, but rather all of our colleagues as well. If you aren't able to come into the department, or an emergency has arisen, send us a message, and we'll come to you instead.

Additionally, I'd like to put forth a small secondary announcement. I've been working on a medicine to aid sleep and reduce nightmares, and at this stage, it's ready to be given to a larger group. I'd like to offer this out to those who'd wish to try it, with a request that you let me know how it works for you so that I can accurately calculate its efficacy as a remedy.

If you're concerned about what it's comprised of, it's based in herbology and natural sources instead of harsher synthetic chemicals, and I have been taking it myself, so you needn't feel there is a risk associated. At worst, it simply has a bitter taste, which can be improved on with time. Regardless, I realize that this will raise questions, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

-E.D.

I’m interested in the remedy, but I’m on a range of heavy mental health medications and my sleep problems involve a parasomnia. Is this going to present complications you’re not prepared to deal with yet?
medicative: (tireless.)

If you would be willing to meet with me and give me a list of your medications, I can check against them all for adverse interactions and let you know whether or not we can move forward. As far as the parasomnia goes, I would have to ask you a few questions to make an exact judgement.

[and naturally, she's not going to have discussions like that not in private.]

[setting the device down, Emily lets out a breath, and smiles.]

I hope this will be able to bring some comfort to someone, at least. People want to know someone's there for them - they just have so much pride, sometimes.

[but this might ease some fears, and allow them to open their hands and ask for what they needed instead of silently suffering.]

– well, it wouldn’t be the first time he was part of an experiment. ]


How long have you tested this sleep aid on yourself?
I may be interested in trying it myself but first, can you detail what it’s made of exactly?
abrightboy: (not convinced)

[personal profile] abrightboy 2021-12-04 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Where can I meet you?
medicative: (conference.)

[personal profile] medicative 2021-12-04 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Most of the time I can be found in ADI's medical facilities, but I can also come meet you outside the building, if you'd prefer.
medicative: (042.)

[personal profile] medicative 2021-12-04 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
To answer your first question, I've been at the stage of testing and revising the formula on myself for five weeks now, enough to take into account lasting effects.

To answer your second, would you like the ingredient list be sent to you electronically, or would you prefer to see my actual notes? ADI has also been overseeing the project, so they are as well in possession of copies.
abrightboy: (displeased with this)

I’ll come to you.

[Malcolm gathers up his pill bottles and stuffs them in his pockets, so there’s a muffled rattling to his walk when he reaches ADI medical. He stops the first person he sees with a name badge.]

I’m looking for Dr Dyer.

Thank you for being so caring and understanding, doctors!

I've spent most of my time working in Research so far, but I have helped out in Medical when first aid was direly needed. I would love to learn more about nurse work, so if you need assistance for anything do not hesitate to call on me.


[ Romelle is definitely somebody who is put at ease by the reassurance that loyalty to ADI has nothing to do with the practice of tending to patience - but she wouldn't necessarily like to say so over the network. ]

[ yeah, about that informing bit... ]

there's not a whole lot i can inform you about
this whole probably part alien thing is something i only reasoned out recently
didn't exactly have family to tell me about anything

except apparently i have a purple freckle somewhere

I would be delighted to see a rush of cold patients.

...Not literally, of course, but it would be better than wild boar maulings, rusty traps, sleepwalking injuries, sleep deprivation, and all the lovely other things that walk through our door.

[at least a cold goes away in a few days and requires little more than common sense and maybe a decongestant.]

[they nod at his request, directing him to the proper section, where a woman with brown hair is fussing in one of the labs. she's carefully studying and measuring amounts of a blue tinged liquid into smaller vials, but looks up to hear footsteps actually coming into the room - sure, on the devices she knew people were coming, but the names alone didn't tell her who was who.]

May I help you?

[hopefully, he'll introduce himself.]
abrightboy: (scrutiny)

I’m Malcolm Bright. …I have the meds and the parasomnia?

[He takes four pill bottles out of his pockets - alprazolam, sertraline, trazodone and risperidone - and sets them on her table.]

This is everything I’m on.

[It’s a lot at once. The doses aren’t entry level. He’s been on his medication journey for a long time.]
medicative: (order.)

[personal profile] medicative 2021-12-06 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mr. Bright, it's a pleasure.

[before she goes to look at the medications, she looks over to make sure the lab door is shut - whether in a treatment room or not, the idea of patient privacy is something she takes seriously. only then does she let herself look over the bottles and their doses. it certainly is quite a bit to be taking, but it helps to know.]

I see...

[studying them for a moment, she nods.]

Since I don't want to hand you anything based off my best guess alone, what I can do is cross check my ingredient list for side effects and let you know in a day or two how is best to proceed. If anything would be cause for concern and it can be removed or altered from my formula, I'm willing to do that and create a second version for you to try.
