Medical Log, Doctor Jennifer Greene, USS Paladin.
Definition, Negradic: Extremely harmful stealth radiation that acts negative to any standard radiation treatment such as Hyronalyn.
STARFLEET DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE
- STARDATE: 238001.11
- SUBJECT: NEGRADIC
- SYSTEM: SECTOR 9881 AS PROBED BY THE USS VASCO DE GAMA
- FIRST REPORTED CASE: USS PALADIN
Symptoms:
STAGE ONE: Vertigo, nausea, headaches. Symptoms similar to the common cold.
STAGE TWO: Severe nausea and symptoms varying from temporary deafness, speech loss, migraine attacks, severe bone degradation, etc.
Negradic in its extremity can cause the patient to TERMINATE within 12 standard hours. If treated by the standard Starfleet issue radiation treatment, the cellular degradation accelerates to the point of complete tissue, muscular and cellular, breakdown.
Treatment:
With the aid of the USS Paladin science department, headed by Lieutenant Torin Jamar and assisted by Ensign J'Kal, the medical department was successful in creating a cure. Theta radiation altered on the sub-molecular level provided the counter-weight that could be successfully used to cancel out the negradic.
Note from the CMO:
What I initially thought was a rather harmless little bug, turned out to gain strength and verosity as time went by. Without the aid of all the departments on the Paladin, I would not have been able to eliminate the infection. With assiduous work - considering those involved were sick at the time - of the Paladin crew, Negradic was successfully destroyed.
