You walk into the room, and see several little beds, a medicine cabinet the size of a 1000 year old oak tree, and a little room for full-body exams.
Sitting at a little desk at the very back is usually Candice, or one of her volunteers. They look up as you enter, and smile.
"Need some medical help?" they ask. "What seems to be the problem?"
Volunteers:
Jade
Okira(?)

Three boys sort of stagger into the infirmary. Well, two of them do, while supporting another that is hanging limply. The three were just sent off to a place called the Asylum, and now they're back here to wait out the repairs on the House. But something went wrong on the visit, and now Rasied hangs between them. Jerod has one of Rasi's arms around his shoulders, and Kenneth has the other.
"Hey! Can we get some help here?"
Kenneth rolled his eyes a bit, and sighed. He was WAITING to get to the receptionist's desk, but Jerod just had to go and open his big mouth. And again.
"Hello?!"

"Yes, yes, what's the matter?" Candice asked, and blinked. "Fatigue?!" She asked. She got up and ran over, touching th poor boys forehead to maybe get an idea of whats wrong. "Hunger? Fever? What's the matter?"
She crouched down and looked up into his eyes, seeing that they were closed, she shook her head, and sighed.
"Lay him down on that bed there..." She pointed to the nearest one.

Kenneth and Jerod pretty much drag him to the bed, and lay him down. Rasied lays there, unconscious. Jerod's the one who explains, while Kenneth just leans against the wall, a cigarette in his mouth - unlit, of course.
"He collapsed two days ago, and this morning he wouldn't wake up. We thought it might be something he ate, but when he came back from our visit to the House, he had a cut on his leg. We wrapped that, and the next day he was out cold. So it could be just about anything."
Rasi's skin is very hot to the touch, his breathing seems a bit labored, and he's very, very pale. Even Paler than Kenneth, and that's saying something. He also doesn't respond to touch - which is worrisome.
"Can you help him?"
Kenneth sighs, and shakes his head, not saying anything.

"Well, let me think... Jade!" Candice calls.
Jade walks out of the back room, where he had been napping.
"Yes, hun?" He asks.
"Get me all the fever medications from the cabinet." She says, puppy-dog eye-ing him.
"Sure thing..." He says, and goes to get the medications.
Candice thought for a moment, and then added "And as many of the potion ingrediants as will fit in the basket, too!"
Jade sighed, and grabbed those, too. He came back over, and handed the basket to Candice.
"Thanks, Jade." She gave him a kiss. "Now, lets start with this..." She placed all the bottles on the table next to the bed, and then took two, and combined two of the pills.
"He allergic to anything?" She asked, making sure she wasn't going to hurt him instead.

Kenneth spoke up this time.
"He's allergic to pennicilin. That's about all. The rest is food allergies. Seafood, mostly."
Jerod, steps back, and looks very very worried.
"Is he going to be ok, Neth?"
"Jerod - he stands a much better chance of getting better if you let the woman work on him."
"O...Okay."
Kenneth shakes his head, and rolls his eyes, reaching down to get something from his pocket. A lighter. He lights the cigarette, and takes a deep drag.

"Alright, my fever medications have no pennecilin in them, so he should be ok."
She gives Rasi the two pills she had in her hand, and took a glass of water that Jade handed her.
Carefully, she let the water slide down his throat, and stood back to see if there was any reaction.

Rasi whimpered, and swallowed the water and pills, starting to shiver a little. His eyes opened for a moment, then shut again. He was out cold once more. Jerod was bodily pulled away from the bed by Ken, to let the woman closer to Rasi.
"I hope you can help him. Else 'Odd here might have a nervous breakdown."

"That did more than I expected..." She said, and smirked. "Lets see..."
She begins reading the ingrediants on each bottle till she finds some that go good together.
"These should do!" She says, and once again repeats the pill-and-water treatment.

Rasied swallowed these as well, but didn't make much more movement than that. The first time had probably been instinctive. He wasn't looking good.
Ken continued to hold Jerod back from the bed, looking quite annoyed at the fact that they were even -here-. Though most of it was purely show [but he wouldn't tell anyone that].
"Think you can cure him from whatever the hell he's got?"

"That depends." She says. "Which leg is hurt?"
She signaled to Jade to get her medicine-making bowl and steamer. He went off to fetch them.

"It was his.... Left, I think. Yeah. Left. There should still be a bandage under there. Sorry I'm not a doctor."
Ken shrugged, and glared at Jerod, who was starting to tear up.
"Odd, you aren't gonna start bawling like a baby, are you?"
Jerod shook his head hard, swallowed, and closed his eyes. He then spoke to Candice.
"Is there a bathroom here, miss?"

"Yes, it should be at the back, near the examination room." Candice said. "Now, let's try and take a look at that leg."
She didn't know if she should take his pants right off, cut them, or simply attempt to roll them up.
"How high up is the cut?"

Jerod ran off that way, and slammed the door shut when he got there. Kenneth growled beneath his breath, and shook his head again.
"Wuss."
He then looked back to Rasied.
"You trying to get his pants off?"
Of course, he didn't mean it THAT way - but that's how it came out.

"I-I need to know how high up the cut is..." She replied. "Then I'll know if I have to or not..."
