Main Room- Medical Issues
The University still stands huge and imposing, it's halted building work torn apart to help with fortifications.
Inside there is a large open space, where can foods clothing and medical supplies stand stacked not far away from a huge noisy generator.
Upstairs sits an old media centre from which the broadcast flows.
Some precious electricity is given over to an old CD player, playing constantly in an attempt to drown out the noise

Alex started slightly as India spoke, before finishing wrapping the wound and moved away. "The infection is only slight. As long as the wound's cleaned and redressed regularly and doesn't get any worse in a day or two then it should be fine." He muttered, putting the spare dressing back in his bag and zipping it up. "It'll still need closing with sutures though...do that when it's definite that the risk of infection has lessened."

	"Well, I..." Alex blinked and rubbed the back of his neck. He hadn't been planning to stay that long. He half rolled his eyes and blew out a breath. "Sure...fine..whatever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex rubbed his eyes behind his glasses, before turning back and holding out a small packet to India. "Ibuprofen...not got many left but you'll need them...I had stronger pain killers, but they were...taken..." He trailed with an offhand shrug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've managed this long without." India responded. "You might need them yourself...You look knackered." She said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's not so much for the pain, rather to keep the inflammation down so the infection doesn't get worse." Alex pointed out, still holding the packet out to her. "And I'm fine." He added, propping his glasses back up on the top of his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	India took the pills from him. "There's a doctors surgery somewhere on campus, we haven't cleared it yet, but it might be worth a look." She leaned up flinching slightly. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right...probably." Alex muttered, leaning back against the wall with a sigh. He shrugged. "Was nothing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've been in a lot of pain, not told them of course." India said softly. "They need someone to keep things rolling. I guess they picked me...So thank you" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alex_mcewan 2008-10-21 08:33 am UTC (link)
	"Umm...you're welcome..I guess." Alex murmured, giving another shrug. "Was still nothing though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know for that, I think I might take you out to dinner." India rose unsteadily to her feet. "Follow me to what we shall today christen 'DP's'," (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not really..." Alex began but trailed off with a sigh and rolled his eyes. "Fine." He muttered, removing his glasses from the top of his head and putting them back in his pocket. (Reply to this) (Parent)
