It started out fine...

She was fourteen when the area karate regionals came around. Never mind the fact that it was early December, and her mid-terms were coming up, and she was still trying to come to terms with her new breast size. Like an idiot she said she'd be there, layered on sports bras, and trotted to the gym.
The fights were simple exhibitions, points awarded on execution and touches rather than beating an opponent into the ground. In her third bout Aya was getting tired, and her opponent, a human from two towns over she'd met in the ring before, was as well. That was probably why things went wrong.
Three points in he flubbed a spin kick and his ankle buckled, making the attacking foot lash in an unexpected direction. She didn't get a block up in time and he tagged her hard on the ribs, taking them both to the floor. The referee blew his whistle, hard, halting all conversation as paramedics came forward to access injuries.
One cracked ankle on his side.
Two cracked ribs on hers.
They both managed to facepalm at the same time when it was announced they were unfit to continue. "Next year," they mouthed at each other around the pained wincing as they were bandaged.

An insane immune system response, and with luck, he hypothesized that she'd start getting better now. Another week or ten days of recovery, but the main infection was hopefully being broken up now.
Oi.
Theories.

Date: 2012-11-03 05:07 am (UTC)Dilan could stalk the doctor! He was good with dealing with Dilan! "I'd like her to keep seeing me, Dilan. I'll need a list of everything she's had allergic reactions to, then notes on any other significant medical moments you may have observed." Why yes he'd gladly offer Dilan an internship if he wasn't already hi doctor!
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 05:10 am (UTC)Dilan blinked, nodded, and went back into the bedroom...then returned with a giant folder of medical information on Aya...everything he'd tested her on since meeting her. "Here you go."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 05:25 am (UTC)Dr. Somna blinked and accepted the folder. "That took a lot less time than I expected." What now? "High protein meal for Aya, she'll need it if she's conscious when they get out of the shower."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 05:27 am (UTC)"Okay. I can do that. Can I have the file back when you're done with it?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 05:54 am (UTC)"I'd like to make a copy of it if you don't mind" he asked finally. Wow. How was Dilan authorized to do half of this? "They let you in the hospital labs don't they?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 05:56 am (UTC)"That's fine." Dilan said, "Uh huh. And I can also use the labs at work."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:10 am (UTC)"I see." That did explain the sheer detail of things in the folder. "What's your hypothesis about her then? And do you agree she may have reached a turn around point in the pneumonia?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:12 am (UTC)"I'm not sure." Dilan said, shaking his head, "She's definitely human...but some of her reactions...I don't want to offer a theory until I have more to work on. I do think she'll be getting better, though."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:30 am (UTC)"Then sit down, Dilan, and tell me speculation. I'm curious now. Physiologically she is human, yes, but the internal is matching up a little closer to katzu in my experience here. Not perfect, granted, but it's definitely odd." He eyed the file thoughtfully. "Wait, get her meal started, then sit with me when it starts to simmer."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:32 am (UTC)"Okay." Dilan said, heading into the kitchen...to find Elcy already working on a meal. "Lots of protein, mom." "I heard, dear."
He then went back out to the doctor and started explaining what he'd figured out, and what he thought.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:44 am (UTC)"Thank you Elcy," Dr. Somna called. "I'm going to pick your son's brains then check on Aya alright?" Only polite to inform her since they were in a home not at the hospital!
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:46 am (UTC)"Of course!" Elcy called back, happy to have something to do. Yinsi, meanwhile, was taking the opportunity to change the sheets and blankets from the ones that Aya had sweated all over.
Dilan was more than happy to talk until he was out of things to say.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:54 am (UTC)The doctor paid very close attention to Dilan as he spoke but...yeah, not enough information, despite the wealth of it, to draw a full conclusion. Damn. "She's interesting Dilan, if you have medical question later don't hesitate to ask. Shall we go listen to her chest now, see if things are continuing to break up?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 06:55 am (UTC)"Yes, please." Dilan said, "I'd like that."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:03 am (UTC)"Alright, can you use a stethoscope properly? Maybe he could steer Dilan towards medical doctor? It might be good for him!
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:05 am (UTC)"Of course I can." Dilan said, giving the doctor a weird look, "I'm taking medical classes too." Nope. Biologist. His interest was too wide.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:16 am (UTC)"I'm not privy to your college courses," he pointed out mildly. "And most don't pursue medical classes so it's a valid question. You can listen first if you like."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:18 am (UTC)"Oh...right." Dilan listed his classes, "Thank you for letting me listen."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:23 am (UTC)"You two take incredibly good care of her, and you'll fret if I don't let you listen, so." he passed his tool to Dilan and waved for the boy to precede him up the stairs.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:24 am (UTC)"Well, yeah." Dilan said, a little blankly, "She's my monkey." he headed up the stairs, "Hey! Time to listen to monkey lungs!"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:28 am (UTC)...oh, Dilan. "You're my doctor? Cool."
"I'll listen next," Dr. Somna chuckled.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:31 am (UTC)"I get to listen first, but I'm not the doctor. More like a glorified EMT."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-03 07:33 am (UTC)Also? Her chest? Less congested! Not amazingly clear, but certainly less filled with crud!
