Who: Katherine and open
Where: The cottage
What: Trying to get some help...
When: Just after this
Rating: Low
Open: Yupp

The once light blue shirt had gone dark with blood that was seeping from her shoulder wound. Her whole body did not feel right. Pain seeped through her body. The teleportation had almost knocked the last bit of energy out of her. The pain was close to doing the rest. She had never cursed a teleportation ban so much. She almost dropped to the ground from exhaustion, her own stubbornness and will were the only things that kept her going.

She ripped open the door and almost fell inside. "Hey, could use some help here," she called out and leaned against the wall.

	"What's the other part?" Cuddy asked. She'd treated various patients since her arrival on the island, with luck Katherine was one of the non-humans she had experience with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Jötun," she muttered and realised that only a few would know what it stood for. "Frost giant." The kept quiet about the changes her body had gone through. That was no one else's business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Frost giant was not one the races Cuddy had experience with. "What does that mean in terms of your health? Do you have a lower body temperature? Do you have a human blood type?" Cuddy asked. "What about your veins? Have you had an iv before?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Those were a lot of questions. Too many for Katherine's exhausted brain to cope with. "Uhm... health... uhm, I heal quickly and I hardly ever get sick. My tissue is a lot denser. Uhm, sorry, what were the other que... oh yeah, lower body temperature, yeah, got that, uhm..." She trailed off not really remembering anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cuddy nodded and decided to try the iv of saline until she could determine a blood type. "Okay. Try to stay awake." She instructed Katherine as she took her arm and gently wiped away any blood and dirt to clean it and find a vein. "You're going to feel a slight prick." Cuddy told her as she inserted the needle, hoping the dense tissues wouldn't interfere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't even notice the needle as it went through her thick skin. "Imma gonna be okay. Dontcha worry," she said drowsily as the adrenaline slowly left her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You will definitely be okay." Cuddy agreed; one always had to show confidence around a patient. She started the iv with saline. "One more prick." She told her, starting another iv drip of morphine and then putting a lead apron on herself so she could take x-rays of Katherine. She found herself again missing the hospital mri machines.

"Hmm..." Katherine said in agreement. She knew that. Her father would be there otherwise. As long as he wasn't worried, neither was she.

(Ooc: I am trying to figure out what an x-ray of her would look like but my knowledge about x-rays is limited. I work with MRI at times so I know that you will have a lot of problems getting decent images of her from that because it works with different magnetic properties of the different kind of tissues and as hers differs from humans you won't really know which sequence to use to get the images you want. Do you know anything about x-rays?)

Cuddy watched her patient carefully, wondering if her calm demeanour was a cause for concern. There was no giving up for her patients. "Focus on staying awake and not moving." She ordered and began setting up the portable x-ray machine. She missed having a full staff too.

(ooc: The densest areas like bone show up as white, air is black. Muscles and everything else are shades of grey on a x-ray, depending on how much radiation they absorb. Maybe everything on the x-ray is lighter than it normally would be?)
