"Affirmative."

Xeelia runs the patient through more optical assessments while tapering the dose of sedatives.

The patient is able to see again and very glad of it!

Xeelia is very satisfied at overcoming this particularly difficult challenge, and is sure to save a detailed file about her current state and recent experiences for further reference. 

Next patient got knocked around a bit in a crowd bottleneck and his mother brings him in to have his bruises seen to.

"Your options are return to your prior condition or installation of heavy duty armored plating."

"His prior condition please!" squeaks the mother, holding her son a bit more tightly.

Xeelia continues to wait for a response from the patient.

He's not talking, just sniffling.

Xeelia can wait.

"Can you un-bruise him or not," asks the mother.

"Ethical protocols negotiated by the Amaliens require me to determine the consent of the patient or a relevant delegate in the case of non-revertible in-competence. As I have not made a determination of non-revertible incompetence nor ruled it out I require the consent of the patient and the relevant delegate to precede unless a suitable determination can be made."

"...he's one and you're a spooky looking stranger, he's not going to talk to you!"

It is true, Xeelia is pretty spooky looking now.

"Sir, I require your consent to determine my medical procedure implementation." Xeelia says to the patient. 

He buries his face in his mom's shoulder and wails.

Xeelia is dissatisfied with her own performance here. She will re-ev-al-uate her tactics based on her prior experiences.

This is actually quite a difficult situation. She is compelled by the ethical protocols agreed upon by Borg and amaliens for her participation in this mission to treat patient consent as a primary concern. Even more than the average amalien doctor as her ethical injunctions are strictly defined to avoid even accidental minor departures from ethical norms. In this particular case she must either:

- Receive consent from the patient as well as the delegate (the mother) in order to avoid needing to determine the competence of the patient as the result would be the same regardless.

- Make a determination of competence of the patient. This is difficult and likely she would need to refer this to another individual for evaluation.

- Make a determination that the patient is only temporarily incompetent and can be returned to a competent to consent state with a procedure narrowly tailored to do that.

As the first two options seem unlikely to succeed, she will attempt the third. She scans the patient to check the physiological state and turns to the delegate.

"Can you evaluate whether this patient can be returned to a state of competence to consent?"

"Never mind," the mother snaps, "he'll probably be fine in the morning." She carries him away.

Xeelia has failed to help this patient.

A drop of saline fluid escapes Xeelia's eye before she returns to treating patients for the day.

This one stumbled on the way out of the transporter room and banged his jaw, needs a replacement tooth.

Xeelia hands him a little baggy with a replacement tooth, next.

Xeelia remembers that these life forms can't self-repair with provided parts, so she installs it for him.

He appreciates this!

The next one is an older red who is having some kind of heart problem.

Xeelia scans his heart and runs standards diagnostics.

He's progressing along the stages of congestive heart failure!

"You will lie down here so an oxygenation field can be established while I modify your heart for optimal performance."

He sure will!

Walls spring up from the sides of table that shine strange blue light on him.

They oxygenation established, Xeelia sets to work thinning and reinforcing and replacing various portions of his heart, sculpting it into better working condition.

"You may need further tuning in the future as the underlying cause is not addressable in the scope of this visit, but your heart has been reset to peak performance."
