[Angela hesitates to press send. This is a commitment.]

As many of you know, I am the afternoon shift doctor at the medical bay, Doctor Angela Ziegler. I have recently acquired the ability to perform a physical scan with magic. It's non invasive - just a simple wave of the hand. Completely painless, no touching involved.

If you have the chance, please stop by the medical bay for a scan so that I can cross-check and update your charts. I will try to occupy as little of your time as possible.

Additionally, please heed Jetshard's warnings of heatstroke and exhaustion during the upcoming heatwave. Don't hesitate to come to the medical bay if you are suffering the effects of heat exhaustion. If you suspect you are suffering from heat stroke, come in immediately.

Thank you for your cooperation.
- Doctor Ziegler

i already talked to strange about this, is it really necessary to have two people with records of it?

[caduceusoncall]

This is strictly a physical scan and does not scan for magical signatures, if that is your concern. This is purely so that I can cross-reference and update your charts. If you would prefer not to come in, that is perfectly fine, but I may need to ask you for a scan in the future if you are injured.

[burninglight]

can you pick up anything they couldn't? physically speaking, that is.

Wait, hold up. You just acquired magic?

[caduceusoncall]

I did! It is a very basic biological scan to read back vital signs and outstanding injuries, courtesy of Strange.

Oh, I was meaning to stop by the medical bay soon anyway... I'll be sure to stop by as soon as I can manage.

[caduceusoncall]

Thank you! Your cooperation is appreciated. It should only take a few seconds.

[matchmakes]

I'll see if I can get my sister to stop by as well. She's a fair bit more stubborn than I am about these sorts of things.

[photoshooter]

What sorts of things will you be scanning for?

[caduceusoncall]

The scan covers basic vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature) and outstanding injuries or illness. It may pick up on scar tissue or old fractures/bone mending, if present. It is purely physical information - I haven't learned to scan for magical signatures yet.

It just involves a quick wave of the hand near the shoulder, no touching necessary.

Much of the information will be things Strange already knows, but this will give me a chance to test the ability and update your chart if anything has changed since your last visit.

[photoshooter]

Um

I was in pretty recently but I can come in again I guess. I don't want to get in trouble again.

Agreed. Heat stroke... Uncomfortable. And hard to deal with. Especially in an apocalypse. With little infrastructure.

[caduceusoncall]

Yes. Luckily, this world is more organized and prepared to handle such ailments.

[nojohnyouare]

Even if most things are cobbled together. At least we have ice and running water.

[have_hat_will_travel]

...Hmm. That does remind me that I wish I had a couple of the rulebooks from my world handy.

Yes, that sounds weird when it's a medical question, but it's because I might be immune to heatstroke? Maybe?

Not sure, though.

Anyways, I can come by soon enough.

[caduceusoncall]

Thank you, your cooperation is appreciated.

Just in case, make sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. If you start experiencing symptoms, do not wait to see what happens. Cool off and rest, or come into the medical bay if you feel faint or particularly ill.

Oh, wow! Congratulations on the new magic! I just got here, so I doubt I need any updating--but I don't mind stopping by if you need the practice.

[No way is he using text unless he has to. Do you have any idea how hard it is to text with paws?]

[caduceusoncall]

[Angela switches on the voice feature. Morgana may notice the fairly thick Swiss-German accent.]

Thank you! I would appreciate the practice if you're willing to stop by. It should only take a few seconds of your time.

[fantasykiller]

Is there any way you can perform a physical scan without using magic?

[caduceusoncall]

I can technically use conventional equipment to take your vital readings and do a brief manual examination for injuries, yes, but it would take longer and be more hands-on. Are you sensitive to or opposed to the use of magic?

o)+ I'LL stoP in a Little earLy tonight - I exPect you'LL want to test it out on non-humans as weLL?

[caduceusoncall]

Thank you, I would love the opportunity to do so! I may have to ask you some questions about the average vital statistics of your species to know whether or not you're in good shape. I'm afraid the scan does not grant me an understanding of foreign biology.

[dragonmouth]

...it's hardly that hot.

[ She's just staring at all these weenies like "bitch plz" ]

[caduceusoncall]

For those unfamiliar with this level of heat, these warnings are very important. I have no doubt that some of you come from worlds or areas much hotter or colder than this one.
