Shore Leave: Fallout over Earth — 240005.07 - 240006.18

After successfully passing the final Academy exams, Josh is posted aboard the USS Oumuamua as an Engineering Officer, reporting for duty to Commodore Ossa V'Airu (1|2|3). the Chief Engineer, Kammus Corelli. On his first day, he and the Chief Engineer Kammus Corelli explore a strange reading that the ensign found in 11-Baker-4 (4). As the pair commenced scanning, a power surge erupted plasma from the conduit placing Herrick in Sickbay (5). Under the care of Doctor V'Len Kel and Nurse Rox, he made a successful physical recovery (6|7|8|9|10|11), but it dredged up memories of the past (12).

To aid in bonding with fellow lower deckers, Josh was invited to the JOPA where he met many of the junior officers he'd be working with in the future and was encouraged to pull a prank on one of the senior officers but wasn't quite sure what might be an appropriate one that wouldn't land him in too much hot water (13|[[1]]|15|16). After his recovery, there was an attempt by an officer from Humanoid Resources, Lieutenant Commander Klaaf, to put him on report for a Form B-74-Tango following the incident in the jefferies tube, but he was quickly dispatched by Commander Etan Iljor (17|18). He also had a brief run in with the Charles Tyber, a security officer onboard who seemed unable to wake up from a deep slumber, and luckily kept his life (19|20). The crew finished shore leave with an awards ceremony, where there many officers were decorated for the achievements on the mission previous to Josh coming aboard.

	PAST HOSPITALIZATIONS/SERIOUS ILLNESS 238610.20: Andorian flu — Requiring one week of hospitalization; full recovery PAST SURGICAL HISTORY None
	PSYCHIATRIC HISTORY 239411.12: Claustrophobia — Diagnosed during initial training simulations. Sedative provided upon initial panic attacks; now condition is self-managed. SUBSTANCE USE HISTORY Alcohol: Social drinker; 1-2 drinks per outing; noted potential substance abuse in the past. Recreation Drugs: None Other: None
	FAMILY MEDICAL HISTORY Parent 1 (Mother): No notable items. Parent 2 (Father): Mild hearing loss at age 35, corrected with implant. Siblings: No notable items.
	SOCIAL HISTORY Marital status: Single; not applicable. Children: None. Occupation/Assignment: Engineer Diet: Omnivore Exercise: Cardiovascular activity, moderate intensity 6 times a week
	PHYSICIANS' NOTES SD 240005.27 - Medical Officer: Lieutenant Elyse Norvik, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Filing on behalf of Doctor V'Len Kel; patient had been admitted unconscious with severe burns and smoke inhalation following a plasma explosion in a conduit. Most dermal regeneration had been successful but we were unable to return a small portion of his skin back to pre-incident condition. After several days, discharged and cleared for light duty. A notification has been sent to his commanding officer for not reporting to Sickbay prior to beginning duty. SD 239908.19 - Medical Officer: Lieutenant Linara Vek, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Routine annual physical; no items of note and cleared as fit for duty. SD 239808.19 - Medical Officer: Lieutenant JG Aeson Malor, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Routine annual physical; no items of note and cleared as fit for duty. SD 239708.19 - Medical Officer: Ensign Isla Toran, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Routine annual physical; no items of note and cleared as fit for duty. SD 239608.19 - Medical Officer: Lieutenant JG Aria D'ral, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Routine annual physical; no items of note and cleared as fit for duty. SD 239508.19 - Medical Officer: Ensign Aeson Malor, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Routine annual physical; scans have revealed cirrhosis of the liver with a high-likelihood of it stemming from alcohol abuse. During patient discussions, he indicated that he had been going to more social events and would moderate his drinking more carefully. Succesfully administered treatment protocol; if pattern continues, recommend counselling sessions. Cleared as fit for duty. SD 239411.12 - Medical Officer: Lt Cmdr T'pana, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Cadet Herrick recently experienced an acute claustrophobic attack during a confined space training simulation in the holodeck. It appears the highly realistic environment triggered an unexpected response. He was administered a mild sedative to alleviate his distress, which proved effective. It is recommended that Herrick participate in further counseling and controlled exposure therapy to help manage this newly discovered claustrophobia. His overall health remains stable, and this event should not impair his ability to perform regular duties, provided appropriate care and caution are observed during future training. SD 239409.19 - Medical Officer: Lt JG Tillo Hah, MD, Starfleet Academy Medical Assessment: Cadet Herrick has successfully passed all physical examinations required for admission to the Starfleet Academy. He maintains a healthy lifestyle and demonstrates a strong resilience to physical strain, likely a result of his regular exercise regimen and balanced diet. He has a noted shellfish allergy but has taken appropriate precautions to manage this. He shows no signs of any medical conditions that would prevent him from fulfilling his duties. SD 238610.20 - Medical Officer: Ensign Thorne Zylar, MD, San Francisco, Earth Medical Assessment: Josh Herrick had sought out treatment due to high fever and general body pain occurring for 48 hours; scans revealed he had been infected with a mutated and highly-treated resistant Andorran Flu. Hospitalized for 7 days while alternative treatment protocols were used and finally curing him of the virus. SD 238006.11 - Medical Officer: Lt Seran K'tal, MD, USS Reliance Medical Assessment: Josh Herrick was seen following a turbolift malfunction onboard; which resulted in the loss of safety mechanisms and the turbolift plummeting several decks before colliding into the bottom of the shaft. Due to the protection of the now deceased Lieutenant Commander Caden Voss, who had used his body to buffer the impacts, negligible scrapes and bruises had injured the patient. Treated with a dermal regenerator and recommended for psychiatric counselling.
	COUNSELORS' NOTES SD 239411.18 - Counselor: Ensign Zezena Sinaslo, Starfleet Academy Counseling Assessment: Following the incident in the holodeck, Cadet Herrick has engaged in counseling sessions to manage his newly discovered claustrophobia. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy, we have been working on developing self-management techniques, such as controlled breathing and visualization, to help alleviate feelings of panic in confined spaces. He is developing a good understanding of his triggers and how to effectively manage his response to them. He is encouraged to continue practicing these techniques.
