He smiled. "<strong>Good day, Nurse Croyle. I'm glad to hear it. And if I haven't told you before, I am relieved to have you with me on this journey.</strong>" He had only briefly met the woman who was to be his Chief Nurse, but he had of course already reviewed her file. Her experience and her medical specialties would be worth a great deal to the ship and her crew, and would go a long way in shoring up some of his own weak spots as a medical doctor.<br/><br/>In truth, he'd never known why nurses and doctors were treated as separate careers by the humans. He considered both diagnosis and treatment<em>and</em>nursing and comfort to be core parts of the same profession, himself. The very idea that a doctor could be rushed, cold, or detached from his or her patients was incredibly surprising to Deltans.<br/><br/>Of course, the very idea that<em>anyone</em>could be "cold" or "detached" emotionally astonished any Deltan new to the stars. So maybe that was the difference.<br/><br/>Either way, he was pleased for the help, and glad to see that she was as diligent as he was. That was something you couldn't learn from someone's records. How hardworking they were. "<strong>It sounds as though we'll be getting underway soon. I trust your quarters and office are suitable? Anything we need changed before we set off?</strong>" The Chief Nurse's Office was only a few rooms down, separated from his own office only by the operating theater. Which reminded him that he still needed to check his office, and his quarters!
