It had been months since Leiddem had had to rush anyone to sickbay and not exactly who he wanted to be rushing - ships doctor. He had already done scans of the pair so it was just hands that were needed to help now as one person and two first aiders were no help. Quin had broken ribs crudely tape with duct tape, and unconscious from being down in a hot mine with limited air and no water overnight. He would recover but needed some fluids and painkiller.

Liha was still conscious but not happy about it in the slightest she had a broken collar bone and a marginally patched hole in her leg from where she was impaled by a broken strut. He was impressed that Quin had managed to pull that out and stop the bleeding before he had succumbed to the lack of oxygen.

"Chris I got them," Leiddem called as they were beamed directly into sickbay.

Cami, next to him, had an arm underneath Liha's good shoulder, though she sensed that it was possible the Romulan felt more pain about having the assistance to stand than from her injuries. She was very happy to let the medics take the other woman off her hands when they did get to the sickbay.

Following behind, Burnie was ready to catch both or either if Liha collapsed, but given the way she had angrily rejected being carried more than few steps beyond the uneven ground near the rockfall, he wasn't getting too close. Still, he could see a trickle of blood starting from under the crude bandage on her leg. "Over here - she's bleeding."

Liha glared at him, then at the approaching medic. "Fuss over him," she snapped with a short head jerk toward Quin. "He's the one who's unconscious."

"Oh, Shh you," Leiddem said focusing on her and allowing the other doctor to focus on the unconscious man. "I get the pleasure of helping you."

"Fvaidt," Liha hissed, grimacing at the pain of being shifted onto a biobed. "The most you can do is stop the bleeding. Quin said my shoulder needed surgery, and I'm not leaving that to your hands."

"And why not?" Lieddem wondered. He had a medical licence. it was not used often but he was trained. "You would rather Quin do it?" He snorted looking over at Christopher for help.

"Because you're not a doctor, certainly not a surgeon." Liha widened her eyes at him. "Being stuck with a human surgeon would be bad enough. I'm not having a security guard barely old enough shave operate on me!"

"Oh, hush. I am a field medic, not a surgeon. I would not dare on some Romulan." Lieddem muttered not wanting to rye her up any more than she already was.
