TREK NOTES:

GARAK:   [ ... ]  But really, Doctor, there was no harm done. 
BASHIR:  They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle. 
GARAK:   Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious
                  damage to their egos. 
BASHIR:  Garak, this isn't funny. 
GARAK:   I'm serious, Doctor. Thanks to your ministrations, I am almost 
                  completely healed. But the damage I did to them will last a lifetime.
