➻ three | cardiovascular distress and it's many symptoms
[What is this? A video? A video in which Charles is neither screaming his head off nor waving his intellect around at all and sundry?
Bless.
Actually this appears to be accidental - there's the noise of a tea kettle being quickly removed from heat, that buildup of a whine abruptly cut off and sloshing of water in a metal container. Most of the frame is occupied by the kitchen counter, a deep blue ceramic teapot, a jar of loose leaf tea and half of Charles' upper body - button up shirt with rolled up sleeves pushed past his elbows - sort of puttering around in the immediate area.
Loose leaf tea goes into a small metal tea straining ball, ball goes into the teapot, kettle pours hot water into teapot, kettle is returned to stove out of frame. Charles reaches up into a cabinet to obtain a cup, takes it down -
and drops it, suddenly, where it rolls off the counter and quietly shatters on the floor. His fingers are turning blue and he turns his palms upwards.]
Ow?
[Charles uses his hands to push himself away from the counter (his face isn't visible at this point) though doesn't get too far, if the soft thud is any indicator. There's a sound rather like a door slamming and then opening simultaneously in the next second.
The feed ends there.]

[Charles sighs and then pokes himself with said barbed wire.]
Oh he's staying over today. We're going to read and listen to records and a teenager will come over to warn us away from hipster. It will so much fun.

[He's a helper.]
Embarrassment and distress are a couple of the city's favourite things. Don't worry about it. Have fun with the reading and the... is there a difference between a teenager and a hipster?
video
So I'm learning, and I don't actually know; Stiles hasn't come over to define what a hipster is just yet.

[Chase is also his doctor, of course, but somewhere as small as the city those lines tend to blur fast.
He turns to answer a question from a nurse who leans into shot, lifting a hand to pass her some paperwork. A cufflink comes into shot, glinting gold from his shirt sleeve. It's heart shaped, and it is, quite clearly, missing pieces.
A second later he's looking back at the camera.]
I take it you're a relatively recent arrival?
video
But yes, relatively recent.
And returning to the prior topic of friends in hospitals, do you, by chance, know who I could talk to about Stiles' treatment for his attention disorder?
video
[His expression shuts down a little at the question, just to the something professionally bland.]
You'd need his presence or permission before anyone would talk back. But I'm his primary physician.
permavideo
Yes, and I have a habit of that besides. [To put it lightly.]
Good to know; it's nothing for today, but for future reference. Thank you.

[ SENDING: The digital business card that comes through gives a collection of contact details, emergency and not, as well as listing his full city job description of head of surgery and ICU - and comes with a handy list of those hours.]
