[Emily isn't wearing the ugly blue jumpsuit. She is instead wearing ugly blue scrubs, and judging by the background, she's in the Infirmary. And she's smiling. Emily is always. Smiling.]

Is there anyone out there with an injury or chronic medical condition that was untreatable in your home universe? I have robotics lab and medical access now. Come on by and we'll see about sorting that out! Or just come by for a checkup! I don't discriminate!

[She should probably set expectations properly, huh? Her good cheer goes from disconcerting to almost normal as she adds her caveat.]

The equipment is, hmm, vintage and I don't promise I can fix everything, especially if your biochemistry is out there compared to humans, but it seems like I'm from the future [she makes wiggly finger gestures, which are apparently supposed to signal...something] relative to quite a few of you, so that's an extra few centuries of medical knowledge. Might as well put it to good use!

[Mac very rarely sees the doctor, on account of being one of those chronically underinsured people who actually doesn't even realize how underinsured they are because they have no idea how the system works and are accustomed to a certain level of coping with calamity in their life by shoving duct tape and pepto bismol at it. Back when he was much more promiscuous he used to pop into the local clinic for whatever antibiotics the nurse practitioner prescribed for whatever infection he picked up through unprotected sex with any woman that had a pulse and was willing to give him attention, and there was that one time he got diabetes (he's pretty sure from an unwashed shot glass, but who knows how one contracts diabetes, really, it is a mystery), but it's been several years and as such, he hasn't even had many glancing blows with the healthcare system. He doesn't know enough about it to actually value it.

Free stuff, though. Free attention, even. Sure, it's coming from a woman, which means that she's probably just a nurse hopped up on the fact that there are no real doctors here and hoping no one will notice, but what it sounds like to Mac is that Emily is extending herself as an examiner of whether someone's fit and healthy. And Mac would love some kind of certificate or plaque that certifies that he's in excellent physical shape so he can hang it on his wall and inspire Ben to stop eating those mess hall burritos.]

Centuries like...medieval?
