Episode: Miri

Summary: McCoy wakes up after injecting himself with the serum, and he is surprised at who is there.

The first thing that passes through his mind is complete and utter relief - he's alive. The antidote must have worked and he isn't going to die. None of them are going to die.

Then he feels a hand at his throat. It isn't a threatening hand, though it's definitely cold enough to be damned annoying.

"Leave that to a real Doctor, will ya Spock?" he grunts once he's mustered his strength enough to open his eyes and see just who it is taking his pulse. Despite his weak protest Spock's hand stays where it is and McCoy's eyes slide shut again.

He's a little surprised how glad he is that someone else is there, and even more surprised that it's Spock and not the Captain making sure he's alright.
