Phoebe turned his face, saw the Doctor steadying Reese Harris's arm to treat the wound, and grabbed the Doctor's hand. "Did you give her anesthetic?"
The Doctor turned his head. "She's running a very high fever. We can't use anesthetic."
"What kind of logic is that?" Phoebe frowned and asked.
"Fever is one of the contraindications for anesthetic. Her temperature is so high right now that if we use anesthetic, it could affect her internal organs and brain cells, so… we can't use it." The Doctor explained earnestly.
Phoebe's hand that was gripping the Doctor's arm loosened weakly.
He wasn't an expert in medicine; if the Doctor said so, there had to be a reason.
"You don't need to worry too much, I'll be as quick as possible." The Doctor glanced at Reese Harris's wound. "Get someone to hold her down a bit, don't let her struggle."
"I'll do it!"
