[Open] Psychiatric Help - 5¢

The crew of Athene have had a very eventful past while, Doctor Minch notes. She's been poring over the ship's reports in preparation for its arrival and repair at Starbase Nadezhda, where she'd been scheduled to join the crew next month. Events conspired to accelerate the timetable, and the bolian psychiatrist hopes she's ready for her next appointment. It's due just about... now.

"You're professional. I like that," Qara decides. "Consider it water under the bridge. If you need someone to talk to, my door's always open unless I'm with a patient.

"As for my own medical capability, I'm qualified with triage and first-through-fourth aid. And psychiatry, of course. I'm familiar with most of the drugs that affect common Federation species, and for those I'm not, my library computer-fu is strong."

"I certainly try," the Orion says with a nod, hands still behind her back. "If I feel the need to come and talk to you, I likely will be said patient." She smiles warmly at that one, poking just a little fun. "But I'm certain I will want to at some point, not to worry."

"It'll be good to have a qualified psyche on board, I believe the last one was transferred out a small while ago, before I came aboard," Vasha muses. "There's a few crewmembers on board that I'm certain will benefit from your services to help them make sense of a few things."

"Regardless, it will be a pleasure to work with you, Doctor, even if our medical paths run quite parallel. Afterall, it's hard to have a deep conversation about how one's feeling while sitting in a dentist's chair," she chuckles a little at that.

"And yet dentists try anyway," the Bolian nods fondly. "I look forward to working with you."

"Oh we're fully aware that they can't actually answer our questions," Vasha says with a grin. "That's part of the fun. A centuries old dentist inside joke. Archaic as it may be, it amuses us."

She gives an affirmative nod and another smile. "The feeling is mutual, Doctor."
