Code Blue Emergency

1987

When Cha Thrat came to Sector General Hospital, she was already unique; on the planet of Sommaradva she was a Warrior-Surgeon, respected if not liked. A female in a traditionally male role.

After the successful repair of an Earth-human's broken limbs the Sommaradvan authorities quietly suggest to the Monitor Corps that contact would go much smoother if Cha Thrat were accepted for training at Sector General. A grateful Monitor Corps agreed and Cha Thrat found herself bundled off to the great multi species hospital.

After a brief introductory interview with Chief Psychologist O'Mara where she is rather disgusted to find she has been demoted to servile status, Cha Thrat is sent to the wards as a nurse trainee. She thought she had been doing fairly well. Talking to the giant AUGLs on her ward, listening to the other-species and learning her way round the vast hospital. But when one of the patients on the ward goes berserk it takes O'Mara to talk it into a state of calm and the charge nurse refuses to let Cha Thrat back on the ward! Given a second chance, Cha Thrat is sent to the FROB geriatrics ward where she is invited to aid in an operation. Everyone is horrified to learn of Sommaradvan medical ethics and Cha Thrat is banned from all medical contact. She finds a job even lower than nurse in the maintenance tunnels.

In this lowly position it seems unlikely that Cha Thrat could cause any problems but there's an imp of the perverse trailing her...

It's not a case of whether Cha Thrat could survive Sector General, but whether Sector General could survive Cha Thrat!
