Shakedown #111"

Carrying her water glass back to the replicator, Zoei shook her head. It has been a far busier day than she had anticipated when she got out of bed this morning. After two unscheduled appointments, she felt a vast amount of relief that today had been originally dedicated to paperwork only. At this rate, she was afraid to hear the door chime again. The good news was, at least the crew was beginning to trust her. If this wasn’t starting, neither of her two visitors would have appeared this morning. Zoei reached to put her glass on the replicator. It slipped from her hands, shattering on the tile flooring. Shards of glass glinted in the light, sparkling a million tiny rainbows around the counselor, and the sound reverberated in her ears. Zoei shook her head again, this time in disgust at her clumsiness. Once upon a time, her mother had talked of Patia’s Dropsies on a daily basis. Thankfully, minor accidents like this hadn’t happened in quite some time.
Zoei strode to the closet area behind her desk, grabbing a small dustpan and whisk broom. She squatted on her haunches, sweeping the glittering glass into the pan. Stretching slowly to her feet, Zoei emptied the dustpan into the receptacle below the replicator. She returned the dustpan and broom to the closet and gently closed the door. Zoei returned to her desk, ready to resume her report on the doctor’s visit from before.
“Computer, resume report Doctor Teilani Dane, Stardate 58203.02 1115.
After two consultations with Doctor Teilani Dane, the following findings were determined:
The doctor has survived a severe emotional trauma.
Although the doctor is willing to discuss the facts of the trauma, she is reluctant to discuss any emotional aspects of her experience
The doctor is suffering recurrent nightmares, increasing in intensity.
The doctor is having a minor personality conflict with one of the medics assigned to sick bay.
Recommendations:
The doctor is encouraged to continue individual counseling sessions as well as attending group sessions with other survivors to increase her willingness to discuss the emotional aspects of her traumas. During subsequent sessions, the doctor will be encouraged to keep a dream log of the nightmares, as she experiences. The doctor will be setting up a meeting with the medic to review the problems they are having. If this meeting is not successful, the doctor will request assistance from the counselor in setting up a mediation meeting to work through any and all underlying issues.
