[He doesn't know quite what to do with all that. He frowns, setting the clipboard away for a moment.]

How do you react to medical equipment? X-Rays, or Cat scans, things like that.

[ofthursday]

None of it is an issue.

[At least in any sort of physical way. There might be risk of Castiel shorting some electronics if he were feeling stronger, but otherwise nothing.

Of course, convincing Castiel to actually do the tests is another thing entirely.]

[surgicalshot]

I'd like to have you get a CT scan. We don't know a lot about what's going on, but there's a woman in the hospital that we're checking her brain, now. If we could check yours, that would help us out a lot.

[He looked at him expectantly.]

[ofthursday]

I'm not certain it will give you the results you are looking for. Without my consciousness, the brain of this vessel reads as inactive.

[When the angel had been unconscious for a time at home, the hospital had thought he was braindead. Which, incidentally, is part of the reason he hates hospitals; it hadn't been a fun experience.]

But the test itself is harmless, correct?

[surgicalshot]

Ah... well, yes, but we might as well try, right? [Smiles behind his mask.]

Absolutely harmless! If it hurts in any way, that means we're doing it wrong. And we don't do it wrong.

[ofthursday]

[Castiel seems to consider this for a few moments, but then finally nods.]

Alright. What do I have to do?

[surgicalshot]

All you have to do is lie under the scanner! Pretty simple, right? We'll have you drink some contrast fluid, which'll help us see what we need to, and that should be it. You can get a copy of the images, too, if you want.

[He sets the clipboard to the side.] We can get that started right now, if you want.

[ofthursday]

[He nods again, slightly, before falling into another coughing fit. It would definitely be best to do it now, while he can still move to do so.]

Yes.

[And he moves to stand up again, unsteadily.]

[surgicalshot]

If you want, I could get you a cane or something? Just so you don't have to worry about falling. [Because that would be very bad, and frankly, tiring to go through.]

[ofthursday]

I can walk.

[Sorry Tenma; he's both ridiculously stubborn and ridiculously prideful.]

[surgicalshot]

Okay. Well, I'm just going to leave this cane here, and I'll meet you in the lab next door. [And he does take a cane out of the side door, leaning it against the counter and then walking out.]
