Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus has had a few people at the shelter come down with a mysterious cough, even after antibotics they seem to still get sicker and the purplish flem has the local clinics confused. He loaded up the shelter van with the sick and drove them to Mount Sinai Hospital, he chose the place perhaps because of it's reputation or perhaps something else.

    He help the three out of the van and into the Emergency Room.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
It's been a long day at Mount Sinai already and it appears that it's going to be an even longer night. Pathology had been called down to the emergency area of the hospital for another reason and that meant that Morrigan was having to stay over to see what was going on. She could have left someone else in charge, but when you're the head of a department you can't really hand it over.

The woman has been looking at the charts for other patients, but her violet gaze lands on the people coming in the door, "Oh no." she murmurs to one of the nurses as she stands. "This way, sir." she motions to Lucius.

Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus nods a bit as he helps one of the particular lady whose hacking up a lung. The other two are able to head towards the doctor who waves them over.

    Lucius makes his way to Morrigan, "I do hope you can figure out what's wrong with them. The local clinic was left puzzled, I've made my guesses at to what it is but, I'm no expert."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan steps from around the counter where the nurses are seated, "Do you need a wheelchair?" she asks the two of them. Then she looks to Lucius, "I hope I can figure out what's going on. I've not seen this happen before." she admits. "And you look familiar. I think I ran into you months ago." she mentions to him.

The nurses bring a few wheel chairs to those that are sick. Offering to lead them back to check in and to rooms. "You aren't feeling ill, are you sir?" one of them asks Lucius.

Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus shakes his head, "No, I'm fine, perhaps I was lucky compared to these folks." He nods to Morrigan as well, "I run a charity and I imagine it's either from helping some people out or collecting donations... Job is never done I'm afraid."

    The three he helped in all pretty much opt for wheelchairs, the one Lucius helped in practically falls into one.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
The nurses usher them into wheelchairs and there's a bit of a moment taken to make sure the one that falls into theirs is still going to be concious in a few moments. "We'll go ahead and take them back." the nurses say.

"Are you going to stay to see how they do or just dropping them off Mister..." Morrigan asks as she looks to him. "I'm going to go collect some blood for tests and things of that nature. See if there is anything else we can glean from that at this time." she tells him. "Do you have their names and things?" she asks him as she starts to head back around the counter.

Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus rubs the shoulder of one of those that are ushered away, he looks back over to Morrigan, "I'll stay for a bit, keep them company, even if here in the in ER." He reaches into his pockets and he pulls out a massive looking wallet, which he flips through and starts to pull out insurance cards. "Just give me a second here, I keep their stuff safe, it's a hard life for alot of them and just having them in their pockets could have them not last very long."

    He places three cards onto the counter in front of Morrigan, "I imagine someone with your skill will figure out what is wrong, you have a great reputation."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"I don't think the other doctors or nurses will have any issue with you keeping them company. Just helps to have names and all of that so we can pull histories." Morrigan admits. An admittance nurse takes the cards when they are provided and goes to work on that. There's a bit of a smile when he says she has a great reputation, "That's very kind." she tells him.

Then she's moving to head back to the rooms, "Did you want to follow me?" she asks him.

Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus nods, as he awaits his guide, he's doing his best to not be look overwhelmed, being this close to so many people who are hurt, feeling hopeless or angry has him a bit depressed as well. He mentions, "This is probably just another normal day for you. All this sickness must get to you occassionally.."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan stops at the door to one of the rooms and there's a look to Lucius, "I get called to the ER for a lot of stuff. It's usually just a mutated strain of the flu." she tells him. But the paleness of her face and the darkening circles under her eyes lend a tired look to the woman. "It does get my spirits down sometimes. But don't tell anyone else I said that." she murmurs to him as she picks up the chart from beside the door.

Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus nods, "Not a soul." He looks down the hallway a bit, Morrigan isn't the only one whose quite tired, he can sense that most of the nursing staff are pretty tired along with the interns. It's still a great mystery at times why they seem to torture the newbies with 24 hour shifts and the like. He idlely chatters, "I've taken my share of emergency training courses but nothing really helps with trying to diagnose some of these diseases. It seems diseases find ways to infect even those who may be considered to be 'mutants'. I guess nature adapts to nature."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a soft smile to that, "Thank you." she tells him. "I didn't catch your name. I'm Morrigan." she offers. "Emergency courses are much needed things these days." she admits to that. "And even if it doesn't help, it's alright to seek out others. We're all supposed to help each other out." she smiles to that. When he mentions mutants there's a quirk of an eyebrow, "Do you have many run ins with mutants at your place? I have only came across a couple. But I'd like to help out more with them." she admits as she heads into the room.

Zeitgeist (Julius) has posed:
Lucius Primus says, "Lucius. I don't discriminate, all people need help at times." he shrugs, as he follows her into the room, "I'm pretty certain that there is more 'mutants' in the world then they want to admit. We're all unique individuals, whose to say we aren't all mutants.. just with less flashy abilities." he grins. This, of course, coming from the telepath who can read the thoughts of the city block around him and whose survived nearly two thousand years."
