Diva in the spotlight

Chocolates from the Captain, flowers from the Hotel Director, ice in a ziplock from the butler and concerned enquiries from many. Diva is wishing the attention is about something more positive.

She went to see the ship's doctor and it did not start well. She was asked to sign a full consent form which covered drugs, procedures and anaesthesia. Not to mention permission to transfer her personal data to pretty much anywhere around the world.  Absolutely no way!! So she crossed everything out and wrote 'Consultation Only' in large letters across the forms. In the event, the doctor was not too formidable. Diva managed to pass all the tests which indicated that life is still present. None of the places he pressed or the positions he asked her to assume caused any pain, so she is left with a dull ache in her upper back and a few general aches and pains which do not seem to be getting any worse and are controlled by her own ibuprofen gel. The ziplock ice is the doctor's suggestion. He also offered stronger pain killers, but so far no need.
