Hey everyone, thanks for the follows and favourites. Hope everyone is enjoying the stories. Just a reminder that I have zero medical knowledge so this may well be totally incorrect procedure speaking.

D is for Dislocation

Shore leave was meant to be fun, a time for the crew to unwind, breath some fresh unfiltered oxygen and generally reconnect with ground. The enterprise had been on shore leave on Earth for the last 4 days, most of the crew enjoying their downtime whilst the Enterprise was given its routine maintenance checks and restocked.

However, it wasn't quite going to plan for one member of the crew.

Captain Kirk winced as he walked into the Starfleet Medbay at headquarters, he wasn't entirely surprised to see his good friend McCoy there assisting. McCoy never was one for extended periods of inactivity and since his passion was medicine (especially when it was on solid ground) he would always seek out some shifts at HQ.

McCoy looked up and sighed, why wasn't he surprised to see Kirk walking into the room with a dumb grin on his face whilst he held his obviously dislocated left arm across his body.

"Hey Bones" Kirk called out. Truth be told he was trying to act like the pain was minimal but in reality it hurt like a bitch but the Captain of the Enterprise surely can't show any weakness.

"Jim, what did you do this time" McCoy placed a hand behind Kirks back and led him to one of the bio beds.

As Kirk sat down he worked hard to keep the pained expression off his face "Oh, tried my hand at a bit of white water rafting. It was awesome!"

"Ah-huh" McCoy replied whilst he scanned his tricorder over Kirks shoulder. "Well luckily you haven't done any significant damage. You've just popped your shoulder joint out of its socket. " McCoy signalled to one of the nurses to come over as he got Kirk to lay back on the bio bed.

"So Bones, what magical treatment have you got up your sleeve for this one" Kirk teased, that glint of cheek in his eye that drove MCoy to distraction.

"Oh, nothing magical Jim" McCoy responded as the nurse came over with a blanket in her arms.

"I'm dislocated not cold" Kirk pointed out.

"Just shut up and let me fix you up so you can get the hell out of here and leave me to treat some real patients"

McCoy took the sheet and opened it up then scrunching it up he threaded one end under Kirks dislocated upper arm, folding it over. The nurse took hold of Kirk from the other side of the bed, reaching over to place her hands on Kirks far hip.

"I usually like to buy a pretty lady a drink before she gets to feel me up you know" Kirk winked

"Oh for gods sake man, your arm is hanging off how about you leave the flirting" McCoy wrapped the ends of the sheet around his hands "Now take a deep breath"

"Wait, what ...OOOOOWWWWWWWW" with a clunk McCoy had used the sheet as traction and popped Kirks shoulder back in to place with a satisfying clunk "a bit more of a warning would have been nice"

"Don't be such an infant" McCoy had to try hard to suppress a smile, his friend was a wonderful man but considering the scrapes he got himself into could be such a baby when it came to medical treatment. "Hold still"

"Mother fucker !" Kirk cursed as McCoy stabbed a hypo into his neck. "What was that for?"

"Pain relief you big baby. Now watch your language around my nurses will you" McCoy couldn't help but have a lopsided smile spread across his face. "You're all set Captain Kirk, now bugger off"

Kirk sat up and hopped off the bio bed, he stood straight and rotated his shoulder around testing the doctors handiwork. Noticing a group of nurses watching him he gave his biceps a little bit of a flex, McCoy sighed next to him "What" Kirk grinned "just giving the ladies what they want"

With a final wink back to the nurses Kirk strode past McCoy "see you later Bones' he said giving the doctors shoulder a friendly slap "have a great day!"
