The diverticulitis attack: fetal on the bunk on Gately's double shift

texture · 11 Nov YDAU (evening)

  • When: 11 Nov YDAU, evening into ~2300h.
  • What: On Gately's soul-sucking double shift, checking on Glynn is one of the night's tasks: Glynn, "who has recurrent diverticulitis and has to lie fetal on his bunk when he gets an attack," has to be brought Motrin and a SlimFast shake (made with 2% because the skim is out), then Food Bank crackers and a tonic from the basement machine when he can't get the shake down — after which Gately has to "Log Glynn's comments and condition, neither of which are good." Staff's earlier suspicion of malingering (event 6's job jeopardy) is functionally dead: they are treating now, not doubting.
