Push and prode. Scan and examine. Shui manipulates the flesh, first, with her own bare hands. After that is finished, she runs a variety of devices over Yasmine's back, checking the area with her electronics to verify her physical findings, and to search for deeper problems.
Finally she is finished.
"You can put your shirt on again, Yasmine," she notes. "My apologies that this took so long." Moving away, she studies the holographic imagery on her dataglove's 'screen', runs a closeup or two, then moves to put on more tea.
The amount of scarring on the woman's body is horrific.
"First of all, put your concerns to rest," she says, pouring the steaming water into the pot. "I find no signs of any disease or neurological degeneration. In short, the problem is neither terminal nor impossible to ameliorate." Moving back to the table, she offers the former marine one cup. "Now that we have leapt that hurdle, let us move on to the problem."
"You have extensive scarring in the area, and my scans detected a piece of shrapnel - glass, by the look of it, which may explain why it was missed by earlier scans. It was, apparantly, lodged in the BONE, harmlessly. Recently though, it has come loose." She shakes her head. "I cannot speculate as to why. In any case, now it is causing discomfort. Painful discomfort, I imagine." Another raised eyebrow. "That, coupled with the scarring, is hindering mobility in the region. I would suggest a small, local anesthetic, and then removal with a quick operation." Her lips thin. "I do not know if we have the time now, and would rather not rush. If necessary, I can give you some mild - very mild - painkillers."
