my schedule on this problem, and now they want to do it
again?”
“I can do it. I don’t mind David, really. It won’t be difficult to re-use the
work we’ve already finished.
“Ok, fine. But we really need to have a protocol in place about hardware and
foreign languages.”
David went back to his cubicle while
Jim responded to them.
Jim liked their ‘good cop, bad cop’
relationship sometimes.
He smiled and hit send.
Up in the lab, Jeff had just sent a
message to Ryan Dane regarding an example of a simple treatment. As often
happened, the doctors in his lab had proven unresponsive to his request for the
written example. They would do what he asked, but never on time.
Jeff decided to send a student to the
lab across the hall.
He called in one of his better ones.
“Susan, I need an example of a prescribed medical treatment. It needs to have
data sufficient for entering into the system as though it was a real patient.”
“Ok, Dr. Sarin, but this could be quite
lengthy.”
He was pretty sure Ryan didn’t want
that.
“Please try for a simple procedure.
Maybe something like a broken leg?”
“Oh, alright. I’ll find something short
and simple.
He smiled, “Wonderful, thank you very
much, Susan.”
Pleased to help, she walked across the
hall into the neighboring lab suite to find it for him.
Jeff went back to work organizing some
results from Bender.
He thought, ‘Ah very good, another
problem solved again.’
While he was looking for something to
do, Ryan received a call from Theresa.
“Ryan, I show that an electronic tablet
has been returned to our office supplies. Typically, we all carry these for
meetings. Would you like to have it?”
“Sure, I’ll be right there.”
He made his way to her desk.
She smiled, “Hey there Ryan, follow me.”
She led him to a room near the back of the floor.
Waving her ID chip at the door, it
opened and she went inside. Together hey stood in what was clearly an office
supply room. It didn’t look very organized; the supplies seemed to be arranged
more by pile-size than functionality.
“Sorry about the mess, usually the room
is in better shape, but the lady responsible has been out on maternity leave.
She’s going to have a fit when she comes back.”
After a few moments, she produced a
tablet. It was silver and black with the IntelliHealth logo across the top.
“Ah here we go, this is it, if you want it.”
“Sure, thanks Theresa. So how do I
actually check it out.”
“First turn it on. Ok, now hold your ID chip over it.”
“Now when you pass through the door, watch the screen, it should read that
you've checked it out.”
As they walked out the door, Ryan read
the message and said, “Hey that was really easy, thanks Theresa.”
“Sure, if you need help to sync it to
your terminal, just call me.”
Like a kid with a new toy, he headed
back to his desk and sync’d the tablet to his terminal.
At the end of the day, Ryan gathered
his things and headed home.
While he was driving home, he started
going over what he would do tomorrow.
He had the test-bed interface from Jim,
hopefully tomorrow he would get the sample procedure from Jeff.
It had been kind of slow today, but
hopefully tomorrow would pick up.
That night after Alex went to bed, Jean
asked him about his phone call that morning.
“So did you get it all figured out?”
“Not really, that number still bothers
me.”
He sat down next to her on the couch. She was watching the news.
Suddenly he realized why he was
surprised at the number.
”Jean, why would they have the whole
number?”
”What?”
“How could IntelliHealth have
vaccination information for the whole city population? Wouldn’t some people go
to their own doctors, their own clinics, and schools?”
“Yeah, I guess so. The shot I got at
work was from some paramedics that work for the city.”
“So why
again?”
“I can do it. I don’t mind David, really. It won’t be difficult to re-use the
work we’ve already finished.
“Ok, fine. But we really need to have a protocol in place about hardware and
foreign languages.”
