[There better not be murder in this ward, just saying. Law will object.]
[To Celty and Mikado before the other two come in:] There's no frostbite, thankfully, just exposure. Nothing life threatening or requiring anything extreme. When I looked, I could find no sign of tissue damage and the blood supply feeding both limbs is normal. There should be no problem with them themselves down the road. My immediate concern here is treating that exposure... and any dehydration and hypoglycemia brought on by hypothermia. Which means ensuring that you, Mister Mikado, continue to warm up, and perhaps running a warmed drip to restore your glucose and electrolyte balance once I do your bloodwork and that's called for. Otherwise hot chicken soup and a glass of orange juice will go a long way to curing any ills on that end.
[Picking up the thermometer and wiping the head with a disinfectant wipe...
...
Aa... hello... who may you two be?]
Aa, hello gentlemen... thank you, but just one moment please...
... [And we are back to addressing Celty and Mikado, though it's more of a group addressment now.]
One thing to be aware of, however, is that your immune system will be depressed thanks to the exposure and likely will be for a little while. If you go home after this, you're going to need to stay indoors and limit your contact to people less you fall ill, Mister Mikado. Ensure you get plenty of sleep... the faster your immune system gets back on its feet, the better.
As for the paralysis itself, I'll need to run an X-ray to be sure, but given that I saw no signs of surgery or trauma, my presumptive guess is that the spinal cord is intact and that the Malnosso are blocking the nerve impulses from reaching the brain. It's hard to say exactly how at the moment, though I very much doubt that drugs are involved at the least...
So Mister Mikado, I'm going to start by taking your vitals and some bloodwork and we'll go from there, alright?
[There's that thermometer - time to take your temperature. Then it's time to measure blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate... yes, the penlight of doom will be involved, shining in your eyes as he measures your responsiveness to stimuli.
Your finger will be pricked at one point so your blood glucose levels can be measured on a glucometer.
Everything charted down.
And then, of course, it'll be time for the needles.]
