Syn explained the problem. All of the nurses had done rotations in OB/GYN and one had experience in teaching birthing classes. One of the physician’s assistants worked at a Veterans Administration Hospital with soldiers who had PTSD.
Ellen Macavoy, the psychiatrist said, “I should have known with the recent history of Sarran there would be PTSD; but they seemed so competent, and strong, I didn’t think that they would be susceptible. We forget that they are humanoids and made from the same star stuff from which we all are crafted. I’ll work with you TaSyn, but we are going to have to import more counselors from Earth; even if it is a temporary position.”
