This is Wade. Doc Hicks and I wanted to put the word out that anyone who needs medical attention now or in the future can find one of us - I'm in Room 310 and Gene's camped out by the bonfire. We're in the process of establishing a clinic in the chapel vestry for the sick and injured. If you have any information on new medical developments from your time or have any medications from the future, please share them.

And lastly: if you go out into the woods, bring one of us along. That's what we're here for.

Comments

@hicks, an addendum; (voice)

[preseance]

An' furthermore, if anyone thinks they might have an aptitude for mendin' the way we do, let us know. We're both plenty qualified to teach.

@Nightshade

[primordialerebus]

I'm certified in basic first aid so if y'all are ever busy, I can help with the smaller stuff.

@oracle (text)

[spitefullight]

I'm a healer, so, I can lend a hand at this clinic you're going to make. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing to be honest.

[preseance]

What manner of healing?

( kyna gave him somethin' of a run-down, but. color him curious. )

@priestess ⟪ voice ⟫

[voktys]

⟪ her voice an accent are distinct enough for her to see no need to identify herself in any other way, really. ⟫

Simply confirming I intend to keep the word I gave to both of you and aid in whichever way I can. If anyone else knows the ways of herbalism or wishes to learn, I can be found by the church most days.

[preseance]

( he reaches to doff his service cap before he cottons on to the fact it's a voice communique. miss him with that informality shit ig. melisandre just has that effect on him. )

Reckon I could stand to pick up a thing or two myself, ma'am. If'n you don't mind the teaching.

[sulfa]

[ wade smiles when he hears the familiar voice - melisandre is a strange woman, one who was likely shunned during her time, but she seems to have a genuinely kind soul, and her knowledge may prove to be very useful here given that traditional medicines are in limited supply. ] I'd be glad to learn too. Thank you.

Wade is super nice! He'll kiss your owies and make them all better!

[She's helping; this is a very persuasive technique!]

@fuckthis

[evocation]

i know super basic stuff, like how to give stitches or whatever, but i don't know any healing magic
but if you guys need any other help just let me know

voice;

[preseance]

Don't suppose you could learn it?

( he likes kyna well enough, an' wade seems to as well. gene's always come easy to trust. she seems like she'd be a level head in a crisis, which is near always a boon. )

An' yeah, stitchin's plenty useful. We'll need as many hands on deck as we can scramble if there's a need.

@five

[fogey]

You've both been busy.

[ idly, really; not a criticism. it's certainly not a bad idea, to have a clinic. ]

@hicks

[preseance]

Y'ever hear that sayin' about idle hands and the devil?

( his voice is fond, edged in that sorta warmth you get when you carry a high opinion of someone. he likes five, an' it shows. )

@raylan

[ultimatums]

Open question: either of you got any Tylenol?
If no: is 'hair of the dog' an urban myth or worth a shot?

[preseance]

( hangovers. lord. he's tempted to let raylan suffer, but. ain't no point to it, an' he ain't cruel. with a faint, long-suffering sigh — )

I've got enough acetaminophen tabs to take the edge off. How hard'ya go?

[kungfuey]

[ Yeah she was out of there at the crack of dawn which probably just adds salt to the wounds. ]

Here I thought Cowboys could hold their liquor.

[taintedone]

Tell the Doctor I'm going out into the woods.

[sulfa]

Doc Hicks?

And you shouldn't go alone. Wait until there are enough people to send out a proper group. One soldier and a noncombatant aren't a match for some of the stuff that might be out there.

[sulfa]

[ in reference to this-- ]

Gene. [ wade holds up his tablet, the sequence of vaguely sexually-charged messages. ] Do you know him? [ he keeps the question deliberately vague, figuring the subsequent 'are you comfortable with this? is implied, and if gene is, he'll either talk about it or not talk about it. it's not irwin's business or his right to probe. ]

[preseance]

( he glances up from where he's sorting german bandages outta his kit, an when he sees what wade's referencing there's a sort of. resigned twitch to his brow. )

I do, yeah. Met that fella on my first day in. He's, ah. Forward.

( his tone's neutral on the matter, but he ain't troubled by it. he can manage himself. )

@javert

[policier]

How irritating that we should even need doctors after we are dead.

( Don't mind him, he's just griping. He's still got some rope burns on his wrists and neck that are bothering him, but it's nothing he can't suffer through. )

You two are the only medics here?

@hicks;

[preseance]

So far as we know, sir.

( javert just gives off that 'sir me' energy, okay. )

@d.grayson

[identifier]

I'm qualified in basic first aid, and I have steady hands.

[ he'd already passed some of what he had to wade. and would be happy to supply gene with some, too. ]

@hicks;

[preseance]

( gene's smilin' a bit, at hearin' dick's voice. )

Well, could be you know somethin' we don't, too. You should drop by the clinic an' we can discuss it.

@washington

[hardwearing]

[ Wash wasn't going to respond, just file the information away, but after seeing Gene's addendum... ]

I'm out of meds and biofoam but I can do first aid. And even if I'm not great at it yet, I did learn a healing spell from a friend in the last place I was trapped. It's probably better for small stuff until I get more practice in.

[ Let's be real, there are going to be injuries to practice on. ]

@hicks;

[preseance]

If you think 'biofoam' would be useful to have, we can consider asking Rastus for it.

( he can sort of... infer what manner of medicine it's meant to be, but wash is military an' gene trusts to that. wound stabilization in the future is bound to be better than what they've got. )

Does your healing spell work on internal injuries (such as soft tissue injuries) or is it better suited to external injuries such as cuts and scrapes?

[tribridfreakshow]

i'm in the room next to yours, 309. can i knock on your door and talk to you about this?

@hicks;

[preseance]

Doc Wade's busy right now. We're at the Church, but can come to you if there's an urgent need.

@darkness

[evulsed]

if you're a doctor you have to help everyone. right?

@hicks;

[preseance]

That's right. What's your difficulty?

@cuttingedge; text

[knifecollecting]

"From the future"?

I can stitch cuts and bullet wounds. Usually can get a bullet out too.

@hicks;

[preseance]

We're from the '40s. Seems like most everyone else is from some point after that, and we're aware there's a lot of knowledge we're behind on so far as drugs and injury treatment goes.

That'd be plenty helpful. Can we reach you over the tablets in the event of an emergency?

@witch (backdated to post date)

[hext]

i can mend organic material at the molecular level.

[ wanda, pls speak layman to these poor boys. ]

wounds, i can mend them. i can do nothing for fevers, but i can stitch without stitching.
i will help you both, if you need me.

[sulfa]

That would be helpful. How fast are you able to do this?
