Patient is blind. Scans reveal that the optic nerves and associated visual organs have atrophied due to non-use. According to the Klingons, during patient's first two and a half years, she was incarcerated in a cell with her mother; this cell was a hole carved in the floor of a cave, approx. 1.5m x 1.0m x 1.0m. No light was ever shown in the cells--a standard Klingon method of extracting information from prisoners. Since patient was never interrogated, she never left her cell. 2. Scans reveal patient has been abused. Numerous broken bones and scars in evidence. Klingons claim it was a result of normal child-raising and discipline, not interrogation or torture; they claim she was exceptionally fragile, even for a human. Carbon/ion dating of the broken bones confirm that most of the breaks did not start occurring until patient was approximately three years old; we'll have to take the Klingons' word on this issue. 3. Otherwise, patient is in relatively good health, physically. My only concern is her fragile bone and muscle structures, no doubt a result of malnutrition. 4. Patient is extremely timid and skittish. Any quick movement or loud noise scares patient--in which case she'll either shrink away in fear, cry or curl up into a fetal position. Much work with a counselor will be required here. Supplemental examinations of patient Lisa Powell at SF Medical Recorded by Susan Powell, M.D., attending physician Patient received MiST (Micro Sensory Translator Array). It is a miniature version of the unit first developed by Dr. Miranda Jones in the last century. This array was selected over a VISOR appliance due to the patient's age. Patients must usually receive their first VISOR before age two for the proper neural pathways to develop. Patient is now 10 years old, and is missing vital optical pathways; scans indicate those portions of the brain have already assumed other functions. Patient's hearing is extraordinary. Tests reveal that she can accurately discern 0.1 dB variations in frequencies up to 24.6 kHz. Above this frequency, the resolution drops exponentially. Patient received an ultrasonic transmitter to supplement the MiST. The transmitter is tuned to 23.1 kHz. This allows patient to "see" in much greater detail than with the MiST, through reflections of the sound pulses emitted by the transmitter. Patient hears the reflections, and like Terran bats, can determine distances and shapes from the return signal. Patient received OAT (Optical to Auditory Translator). This device is an optical scanner with the standard ODN output module replaced with a custom module that translates the data into audible signals. This allows the patient to see details unavailable through the MiST or the sonic transmitter, e.g., she can read from standard screens, instead of requiring textured output. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Star Fleet Academy graduating class of 30612, ranked 105 of 112 Honors: None Major: Biology Commendations: 0 Reprimands: 6 Notes: SD 990912 Reprimand - poor class attendance.

Robert J. Downing, M.D., presiding By a unanimous vote of this board, this candidate's application for a MD is denied. This board is concerned with her inability to articulate and communicate efficiently with this board. As communication between a doctor, her patients and her staff is a critical skill for a physician, this board must deny her application. Furthermore, we are concerned that the candidate is not emotionally prepared to accept the responsibility of MD, at least not in the environment of a Starfleet officer. To wit, candidate broke down into tears when asked to categorize victims during the standard triage exercise. When questioned about her behavior, she explained that she could not, "bear the thought of letting those people die." The board acknowledges the candidate's skills and knowledge of the medical profession are sufficient to earn a MD--much better, in fact, than her mediocre grades reflect. It extends an open invitation to the candidate to retake the oral examination once she has further developed her communications skills and developed the requisite emotional control and detachment required in the medical profession. This board recommends graduating the candidate with her SF Medical class. It further recommends an assignment in the medical field, at a subordinate, rather than supervisory, level, where she can continue her studies and retake this exam at a future date. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psychological notes: Confidential case history files available through Star Fleet Medical. Discharge summary, Jill Isanhart, Ph.D., SD 110801. The patient was placed in our charge upon discovery of extraordinarily invasive mental techniques used by her former counselor. In an effort to free the patient of the emotional scars left from her childhood, the Vulcan counselor fabricated childhood events and placed them into the patient's mind over the course of almost 20 years. This procedure began during an early, unauthorized mind meld the counselor used to communicate with the patient as a child. The counselor's tampering was approved and aided by the patient's foster mother, who was also her physician. Review of the confidential medical records indicate that the patient's blindness was a psychosomatic condition. The three appliances used by the patient to simulate "vision" were primarily to reinforce the memories provided by the counselor. The fact that they actually helped the patient to "see," was an unexpected, though fortuitous side effect. >From the records provided by the Klingons, the only thing we can verify is that the patient was raised by their people on Vekon II during the stated period. There were no accurate records kept at the facility regarding the child, and all the Klingon citizens that may have possessed additional information about the patient's background have passed on. Surprisingly, the long-term, invasive plan executed by the patient's former counselor appeared to be working. Two major traumas were responsible for destroying its success: 1) The patient was raped on 991112. Not surprisingly, she had no memory of this event. The sorority she was pledging enjoyed hazing her because of her timid nature. That evening, one of the pranks, involving members of a fraternity, ran out of control. The men were led to believe that the patient had accepted a challenge to seduce them. Several members accepted the challenge. Details are vague, as there was no investigation conducted 12 years ago, and there are several conflicting versions of events from the few participants that have been identified. 2) a BUPERS error assigned the patient to line duty against her jacket's explicit instructions prohibiting line duty. The patient was unable to cope with the stresses of line duty. Her eventual breakdown brought her under the care of the ship's counselor, who discovered the patient's problems and brought her to the attention of Star Fleet Medical. More details are unknown. The patient's former counselor was uncooperative in assisting us apply traditional treatment programs. She provided no information, and destroyed her own memories, via self-inflicted cranial infarctions, to prevent another telepath from retrieving her memories. During her treatment here, the patient has demonstrated extreme flexibility in discovering and accepting her true identity. Unfortunately, this flexibility was part of the problem that initially brought her here-- whether it was *the* underlying problem or the result of her former counselor's tampering is uncertain. Furthermore, she is still highly susceptible to input that might alter her self-image. Care must be taken to isolate her from potentially damaging situations. The patient has acknowledged and accepted all the facts regarding her past, to the best of our ability to reconstruct them. Obviously, there are still holes and probably still areas that are fabrications, but she has demonstrated the ability to accept those confusing blocks in stride. The patient has forgiven her former counselor and foster mother for the lies and trauma they inflicted upon her. Despite the breach of personal and professional ethics, she is grateful for their attempts to help her build a stable and productive life, to their own professional and personal peril. The patient has recovered well enough in the past four months to pass her board exams and receive her MD. It is her doctors' and counselors' collective judgment that the patient should be reinstated to limited duty and perform the duties she has trained for. We cannot emphasize enough that line duty is inappropriate for this patient, and transfer requests to a line unit *must* be denied. In the event that the patient is unable to function in a limited capacity as a medical professional, the only viable alternative is to recommend indefinite medical leave and continued rehabilitation at this or similar facility, or a Section 37 medical discharge. Progress Report, Jill Isanhart, Ph.D., SD 111031. The patient has made tremendous improvement in the past three months. Most of her duties have been in the pediatrics department at SF Medical--a position which suits her very well. The only area of concern is her Nasch OPQ Test, which has dropped to a score of -3.25 from -0.50. This was an unexpected turn, as it was assumed the marks would increase as the subject began performing duties outside the institute. Our staff hypothesizes that the subject has excessively internalized her role as a SFM resident, which is preventing her from processing and recognizing other elements affecting her development. In an effort to halt the N-OPQ deterioration before having to recall her back to the institute, I have arranged for the subject to serve as a part- time instructor at the ALB facility. We hope this will provide enough diversion from her emerged routine to knock the test scores to the positive side of the scale--or at least back to a very small negative value.
