"I can't believe the nerve of that man! He just marches into MY sickbay and takes over?! It's certainly no fault of my own that I was detained by the captain."
"It's an amazing thing," says Crusher. "Although the implant prevents me from perfoming standard treatment on Commander Douglas, the device will actually hold the wrist in place in such a way that the break should heal on its own."
The non-extensive implant is believed to be relatively harmless. "By the time the wound heals, in about six weeks' time, the arm should be strong enough that we can extract the implant safely," Crusher adds.
"It's a damn good thing Douglas didn't break his neck. He could very well have been totally assimilated by that madman Pandya's surgical hand!"
Crusher has prescribed a six-week rest period for the victim. "Absolutely no more skating on the holodeck! And that's an order, Lieutenant Commander!"
"Commander Douglas was always a bit of a daredevil," reports veteran Starfleet Captain Jean Luc Picard. "Imagine figure skating at his age!"
