Date: April 23rd
Patient: Virgil Grissom Tracy
Signs/Symptoms: Sudden onset of severe muscle and joint pain, extreme fatigue, flushed skin, headache, cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever.
Diagnosis: Type A Influenza virus.
Treatment: Rest, fluids and isolation.
Additional Notes: Since Virgil is ill, he has asked me to monitor the infirmary for the duration of his treatment and recovery. I have been in charge for a mere one hour and twenty three minutes, and already I sense that my greatest challenge may be that of explaining to Scott Tracy the meaning of the word "isolation."

Patient: Gordon Cooper Tracy
Signs/Symptoms: Severe pain in the anterior portion of his lower right leg. Bleeding from a jagged, contaminated wound. Some swelling is present.
Diagnosis: Puncture wound from the spine of a stingray.
Treatment: Irrigation and debridement of the wound. Tetanus prophylaxis given, and patient advised to elevate the injured limb.
Additional Notes: Will monitor patient for infection and supply antibiotics as necessary. **NOTE - Gordon also ignored my warning and visited his brother. Perhaps I should adhere a quarantine notification to the outside of Virgil's door.

Patient: John Glenn Tracy
Signs/Symptoms: Painful red mark on dorsal portion of patient's hand; some blistering is evident.
Diagnosis: Partial-thickness burn.
Treatment: Antibiotic cream and a sterile dressing, as well as acetaminophen to reduce pain.
Additional Notes: I would have expected John, of all his brothers, to be sensible, but no, I watched him read the quarantine notice on Virgil's door, and he still entered the room.

Patient: Scott Carpenter Tracy
Signs/Symptoms: Bleeding from medial portion of his upper left arm.
Diagnosis: A laceration.
Treatment: Cleaned and stitched the wound, applied antibiotic cream and a dressing.
Additional Notes: He claims that his injury is a direct result of the fact that Virgil was unable to attend the rescue and "babysit" him. I pointed out that he may want to learn to watch out for himself, as Virgil will likely be off duty for at least two weeks.

Date: April 26th
Patient: Scott
Signs/Symptoms: Pain in neck.
Diagnosis: Strain from uncomfortable sleeping position.
Treatment: Heat pack, acetaminophen.
Additional Notes: Speaking of a pain the neck, Scott blatantly disregarded my verbal and written warnings and slept in the chair by Virgil's bed last night.

Date: April 27th
Patient: Alan Shepard Tracy
Signs/Symptoms: Pain and bleeding on the anterior portion of both knees.
Diagnosis: Abrasions.
Treatment: Antibiotic cream and dressings.
Additional Notes: He says that he tripped and fell, and if Virgil had been around, he would have caught him. I pointed out that even had Virgil been well, the chances of him being near enough to catch Alan at the exact moment of his fall would be slim. (He visited Virgil as well. At least now I know how to collect all available Tracys – just put one of them in bed, and the others will soon show up!)

Date: May 2nd
Patient: Brains
Signs/Symptoms: Achy, tired, flushed skin, sore throat, cough, runny nose, fever.
Diagnosis: Flu.
Treatment: Rest, fluids, isolation.
Additional Notes: Poor Brains. He caught the same flu I had. Good thing I'm feeling better now so I can keep an eye on the infirmary. I'll have to make sure Brains gets plenty of visitors – I know that really helped me.
