Bonesaw- Video Call Medical Consulting

Riley’s voice came across the computer.  “Woww.  Look at you.  Case Fifty-three?  And… dinner?”

“No.  Transformation cocktail.  Two injured.  They’re getting patched up.”

“Lemme see.  Put them in front of the camera.”

I helped Byron stand, and brought him closer to the computer.

“I wish I’d seen you before you started bleeding.  I’d be able to judge better.  I think you’ll be okay, but don’t go running too fast or getting too excited.  You might pass out.”

“Any arterial bleeding?” I asked.  “Anything internal?  Muscle damage?  Nerve damage?”

“Nerve damage, maybe.  Worst case scenario… second worst case scenario, his right hand is only as good as his left, some therapy needed.  Worst case scenario is we all die before that’s even a question.”

“I just need bandages, then?” Byron asked.

“Medical attention if you want to avoid the nerve damage.”

“That takes time.  Bandages?”

“Yep, if you’re willing to take the risk.  Twenty-five percent chance your hand doesn’t fully recover.”

“That’s fine,” Byron said.
