I could drop you back off and let the robot get you.
[It wasn't really laughter. She and the Doctor are pretty well connected and in agreement these days. They've just been through too much to do otherwise. At the Doctor's suggestion, she does an annoyed beep, because she knows he would never do that.]
[The Doctor nods, accepting the apology. The TARDIS beeps and whirls a bit. He rolls his eyes at her.]
Yes, yes, I know. I was thinking that.
[He approaches Tsukki and kneels near him.]
The patch should have taken care of the pain too, unless something else is going on. This won't hurt, I'm just going to take a scan and see what else might wrong. Maybe you hit the ground harder than I thought.
[It looked like just really bad roadrash, but if he hit it just right and fractured something, well, the bandage wouldn't do much about that. He pulls out his sonic to take a reading. Then gets up to goto a monitor to read the results.]
Why is it that humans always forget that looks are deceiving? I'll have you know I have a medical degree from Earth: Glasgow University.
[It even goes with the accent, though he didn't have this accent at the time.]
But, I don't really blame you, like I said, whole limbs are easier. Bits and pieces within those limbs are another story. Do you have a hospital you use regularly? Best to use one where they know you.
For me? Billions of years ago. But that's just my Earth one. But it doesn't matter, because I am the Doctor. The original. The rest are all based on me.

Fine, fine.
Sorry.
It's been a little stressful, you know.
[He still doesn't trust himself to stand up.]
no subject
[Which is honestly what has him the most upset. Usually people are pretty glad to have their lives spared. The Doctor notices he's not standing.]
So, are you afraid to stand because you might fall over from the shock of everything, or is your knee still bothering you?
[See? He's still willing to help.]

He didn't have to come back.
Tsukki sighs.]
Yeah. I know.
Sorry.
[And he does mean it.]
Still hurts. Is there an ice pack here?
no subject
Yes, yes, I know. I was thinking that.

Smells weirdly like bubblegum.
It displays a 3D model of Tsukki's leg, then Tsukki, then the robot that threw Tsukki into a lineup of trashcans.
Tearing a ligament.]
no subject
Well, nothing's broken, but there's a torn ligament. Whole legs are easier. I can try to fix it, or I can drop you off at hospital.
Alien Hospital?
Whole...
Ah, I think I'd rather a hospital. You don't look like a medical doctor.
[He's not wrong?]

What year though?
