Leia smiled slightly when Ben glanced her way. She was glad to be able to do this for him, and would do so much more if she could. It was possible there would be something, once they figured out a course of treatment, but she would have to wait and see. As it was for Ben, doing so was hard, but doable.
"That's always a good thing to know," Doctor Kalonia said. She gave a respectful nod of thanks to General Organa for her help, which Leia returned. Not all of her patients had a family or other person they could turn to for things like this.
She seemed professionally pleased, though, by the knowledge of substance abuse not being tolerated by the First Order. "That's surprisingly sensible of them," she said. Though she did note down that he'd thought of it. "And it eliminates a lot of potential problems involving drug interactions, assuming you continue to avoid those things. Granted, the only thing you're likely to find on base is alcohol, but even that can cause serious reactions when mixed with certain medications."
Both Leia and Doctor Kalonia waited as Ben removed his coat. Leia took it for the time being, planning to return it to him when they left. Even though Leia knew somewhat what to expect, and even though the doctor hid it well behind a mask of professionalism, neither of them could truly pretend they weren't startled and concerned by his appearance. And by the fact that a reading of 98 pounds was an increase in weight.
"Everyone's body is a bit different," Doctor Kalonia said. "But for a human male of your age and height, a healthy body weight is between 148-200 pounds. Your ideal weight is likely somewhere in the middle of that range, given the records I have on you from prior to your joining the First Order." The calculations from there were easy to do, and they weren't encouraging.
