The young woman winced slightly as Doctor Lee slowly peeled the fabric off of her arm. He didn't want to give her any more anesthetic and she didn't seem to be in pain; but she was watching as he prepared to set the break.

"Okay, here goes," he said, turning to watch the monitor. He carefully lined up the broken bones and held them in place as the medic began to wrap her arm. She didn't move; the anesthesia was still sufficient.

"There is a wait for the bone regenerators but it shouldn't be longer than...." the doctor was stopped as a tremor rocked the shelter. It lasted several seconds, then suddenly was over.

"Maybe an hour," the doctor finished, recovering his composure. The woman nodded and yawned.

"Can I go back and help the cooks until then?" she asked, watching the bandage get thicker on her arm.

"Well, I only gave you a local, but as long as you don't move the arm you should be fine," Lee said with a smile. He nodded to the medic and moved to the next patient, hoping fervently that the earthshakes were over.
