Where Are They Now!?! Part 2
"Where are they now?" Dr. Janet Fraizer thought as she tried to work at her desk deep within Cheyenne Mountain. As the Chief Medical Officer for the top secret Stargate Command, she was responsible for the health and welfare of all those in this command. That included all of the units that go off world. It was one particular unit she was worried about right now despite the fact there were 4 units currently in the field and 2 patients in her infirmary. The command's flagship unit SG-1 was overdue for a scheduled check-in.
She cared for all of the people in this command but SG-1 was special. Her best friend and confident, Major Samantha Carter, or Sam, as she preferred to be called, was a member of SG-1. She and Sam had become good friends from day one together. It was difficult being a woman in any of the armed forces, much less in a top-secret command in which you dealt with the unknown every day. This made it very difficult to have any kind of friendships... or relationships outside the mountain. Sam was the person who kept her sane and allowed her to vent her feelings and frustrations without worrying about top secret clearance.
Ahhh... relationships, Janet thought. The one thing she wanted and needed was a relationship. She wanted her adopted daughter Cassie to have a good " father figure." Unfortunately, the person she wanted to pursue a relationship with, was also a member of the very late SG-1, Dr. Daniel Jackson.
She sighed as she thought about the accident-prone Dr. Jackson. Trouble seemed to find him no matter where he was. During her first few months here, Daniel spent as much time in the infirmary as he did off world. The nursing staff joked about him having his "own" bed in the infirmary. It was sad but true, that he had his "favorite" bed. It was not quite in the corner but it was close. Dr. Jackson preferred an area in which he could read and work in bed without bothering the rest of the infirmary. The nursing staff would often "fight" over who would take care of him each shift. Dr. Fraizer would often solve this by caring for him herself. This was appropriate, wasn't it? A Chief Medical Officer was taking the responsibility for the patient instead of the staff. There wasn't anyone else that she trusted.
Unfortunately, she could never express these feelings for him, as he was first and fore most, her patient. She was his doctor and she could never cross that line. The medical board tended to frown on doctor/ patient relationships and there was no one on staff she trusted to care for her Daniel. She could never let Daniel know how much he meant to her and Cassandra.
Ahhh... Cassandra. Her thoughts drifted to her "adopted" daughter. Her daughter, who asked too many questions, and was just forceful enough to corner Dr. Jackson and ask him his "opinion" of her mom. Cassandra had a special spot in SG-1's heart thanks to the way they found and rescued her. She knew it and used it, especially as she the older she got. Cassie would use that relationship to push Daniel into areas that they shouldn't go. Dr. Fraizer could not let that happen. It would risk her position as Chief Medical Officer, a job she truly loved, as well as her career as a doctor. Unfortunately it seemed that was the reality of her life.
"I can't think about this right now," she said to herself. She had 2 critical patients she needed to concentrate on. Shaking her head, she got up from her desk and went to check on the other soldiers in her care.
"Report," She said testily to the nurse on duty as she entered the main ward of the infirmary.
"No change in either of the patients' status," Nurse Ratchet said, "Sergeant Smith is still on the vent, CMV. His respiratory rate is 20 and heart rate 86. O2 sats 98 %. Lieutenant Janas is also on CMV, but his heart rate is at 120 and O2 sats are at 86% on 10 liters O2."
Dr. Fraizer sighed. "Darn it!" she said as she realized that Lutentent Janas was not doing as well as she expected. She knew that she had to focus on Janas, but she was worried about SG-1. "Where are you now?" she muttered as she thought about SG-1.
"Excuse me Doctor?" Nurse Rachet asked in confusion.
"Never mind." Fraizer said as she calculated in her mind the correct medicine dosage to help the Lieutenant.
As she spoke, the speaker announced, " Unscheduled off world activation!"
"Finally." Fraizer said to no one in particular. " I hope it's them."
Then as she thought about it, she realized that the voice was shouting, "Medical team to the gate!"
Oh no, that was not good if it was SG-1!
