[It's immediately obvious that this video is being shot outside--in the garden, likely. The setting is somewhat incongruous with Chekov's tendency to post about technology he has been working on, but there he is. Judging from the seventeen year-old's expression, he is prepared to explain something. At length.]
I am not sure if this is of interest to the medical staff of the City's hospital, but I believe I have a device that may be of use to you. I will require the aid of City Solutions to replicate this, but...
[He trails off and pulls a small, boxy item into view. It doesn't look that impressive; honestly, it could pass for an early cell phone if it weren't for the screen.]
This was, originally, a medical tricorder, which I assume has been introduced to the City, since Doctor McCoy had one. Usually they are used only in the field, but a full-sized medical diagnostic array is far beyond me. But I was saying... at home, where I am from, we also have instruments called psychotricorders--specifically programed to display brain activity--that are not typically attached to other devices. Unless I have made a mistake, this is capable of performing all activities that a psychotricorder can, in addition to those of a medical tricorder.
[reluctantly] The data chips may, perhaps, need to be reprogrammed by doctors, the psychotricorder chip especially. I am not a specialist in the field of biochemistry, but it is simple enough to alter the program. I can show a medical professional how.
But how it works is like this. The detachable scanner is used [he removes a smaller device from the back of the modified medical tricorder] to gather readings. The information it gathers is sent to the central processing unit [the midsection of the device is indicated], and the information is displayed on the screen, here. Very simple. Not that the information itself is useful without a doctor or someone sufficiently schooled in interpreting medical readouts to analyze it... make a diagnosis.
Ah, and I have perfected--to the best of my abilities--my early modifications that allow this tricorder to serve also as a dermal and osteogenic regenerator. Only good for small breaks and relatively minor injuries, but useful, I hope. So, with this, physical and psychological diagnoses may be made without intrusive procedures, and some wounds may be fixed in minutes.
[Chekov looks rather pleased with himself. Understandably so, perhaps.]
Please, if you are associated with the hospital and would like to make use of this technology, contact me. I would like to be of help.
Saya, if I may--there was a curse the last time you offered to show me how the Impala works. Would you still be willing to teach me about it?
[And with that, he ends the feed. Chekov will be loitering in Xanadu, should anyone wish to come across him.]
[ooc: Edited on 8/19 to correct factual errors and inexact terms that Chekov would not have made or used.]

voice
Ah-- I'm Doctor Wilson. I work at the hospital, and... well, I considered Doctor McCoy a friend.
voice
[Chekov has largely given up on formality, but Wilson is clearly to be treated with the same respect as McCoy. Obviously.]
Some level of interest, you said?
voice
It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Ensign - and really, I can't imagine many doctors who would turn down a device that might help us treat our patients more effectively.
Actually, I'm personally grateful that you brought this up. You see, Doctor McCoy, he ah-- he left a few of his tools with me, when he left.
voice
Not all doctors are so open-minded, sir. Doctor McCoy himself distrusts machines.
Tools? [Seriousness is threatening to give way to eagerness. What Chekov wouldn't give for a phaser...] May I ask--are all of these tools medical, and have you learned to use them?
voice
[He can't be 100% on the kit because things don't look much like they did on TV. It's pretty clear that's not quite an accurate representation for whatever universe these actual people from the Enterprise inhabit.]
His med kit. I'm not sure what everything is, but... I'd be happy to bring it to you?
voice
I would be happier to retrieve it, sir. You are at the hospital?
voice
[Because he'd personally like to see a time when his specialization is obsolete.]
I am; if you ask at the main desk, they'll point you towards my office. You're more than welcome to come right up when you get here.
voice
[Come check out the future, James.]
Thank you, sir. I will be there shortly.
["Shortly" is roughly twenty minutes. Chekov halts outside of Wilson's office, hands clasped behind his back.]
Permission to enter, Doctor?
action
He glances up from his desk, where he's been keeping himself busy with paperwork. He almost wants to spout off a "permission granted" because it will make him feel all cool and official. But instead he just smiles, offering a sweeping gesture to welcome Chekov through the open door.]
Of course, come on in.
