Video. Medical power of attorney is important.

[theverymodel]

[Matters have calmed somewhat at the hospital now that the bone fiend infections have all run their unfortunate course.]

Certain issues recently apparent. Authority to make medical decisions often unclear.

[Yes, Shepards, he means the fact that no one is sure which of you gets to authorize autopsies on your crew actually]

Requesting clarification from all non-Verdana natives. Designation of authority in case of incapacitation.

[And because what is death.]

Also stance on post-mortem examination if circumstances unusual.

If you must, talk to my sister if you need someone to O.K. medical shit.

[He's not sticking either of the boys with that duty. They don't exactly have a track record of keeping their cool in emergencies. Granted, neither does Wanda, but at least she's blood. And this one seems level-headed enough to cope.]

That's Wanda. The Scarlet Witch. But I'm not going to go for anyone cutting up my corpse, thanks.

[Sandy doesn't know if this strange-looking person can see him, but that doesn't stop him from replying with a video. He's hanging out in the the woods right near town, from the looks of things.]

...?

[Usually he doesn't have trouble understanding people. But that was gibberish, to him.]

Appears to be simple reality.

Family. Customary. Will remember.

[He seems a little sad about the denial of corpse study, but what can do you do?]

[theverymodel]

Welcome to encrypt. Or deliver in person.

[unofficial_ambassador]

And you might try to . . . not be so direct about confronting people with mortality. Especially so soon after a tragedy.

[It's not like he actually listens to her advice ever but he does mean well]

[Why does everyone keep giving him that look?]

Post mortem examination for the advancement of medicine. Would never dream of [sniff] weird things.

[theverymodel]

Correct. Too many cases of unconcious patients without clear proxy.

Re: [Video]

[theverymodel]

[Well that's interesting]

Last time?

[theverymodel]

Noted. Will delay. Three to five day window between death and ship based activity.

[What to call it? Because resurrection sounds ridiculous]

Re: video;

[theverymodel]

Not unheard of. Extensive occurrences last week. Encourage all to avoid.

[Mordin studies the communicator intently. THe video function doesn't usually do this]

Malfunction?

Re: [video]

[hypospraying]

I guess. Though I shouldn't be surprised, with the time line altering events that happen here.

[horncrown]

[ He considers this for a moment before straightening himself out again ] What happened last week?

I don't want you to get hurt. Autopsy might have unforeseen difficulties.

[pepperspray]

Tony and I hold each other's power of medical attorney back home, I see no reason not to continue the trend here.

Do you need me to send over any paperwork? I'm assuming that Verdana has some version of HIPAA that protects patient confidentiality? We've traditionally had some... concerns about private information not remaining wholly private.

[Because SHIELD? Nosy pack of snoops.]

Re: [video]

[fillsnightswithgold]

[Sandy's going to assume that means the... person can't see him. He keeps to texting.]

! *two hands shaking* :D ??? *indecipherable string of symbols* ?

[Asking Mordin to explain what he meant is a bit beyond him, especially when he can't get anything across through gestures.]

Salvation appears to redefine physics paradigms.

Re: [video]

[theverymodel]

Would like more elaboration.

Also does not negate need for proxy.

Re: [video]

[heartofasun]

[smile]
My proxy isn't here yet.

[theverymodel]

Tragedy creates necessity. Defficiencies in current system became apparent. INferior patient care.

Re: video;

[theverymodel]

Attack in marketplace. Mass casualties. Local and ship originated.

Re: [video]

[theverymodel]

[Wait, what Akito said]

Difficulties with visibility?

[theverymodel]

Doctor patient confidentiality ancient trust. Signed statement useful for those not from ship. McCoy and I can take word for it.

Re: [video]

[theverymodel]

Suggest appointing temporary alternative. Many lack usual choice.
