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.

"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?

Re: @hicks;

[knifecollecting]

Yeah, there's a lot you don't know.

Sure. I can do most basic first aid too.

( he nods to himself, makin' a mental tally. he checks the directory so's he knows who it is, an' he's gratified to see it's someone he's already spoken with an' liked fair. )

Well, if you know anything more conventional, we'd be glad to learn it.

You mind if I put you in our emergency contact list? And if necessary would you be willing to accompany any sort of patrol in at least an auxiliary medical capacity?

[knifecollecting]

We could work that out.

I'll go out with groups when I find a better weapon.

[She didn't show up with one and she's not going out without one.]

[preseance]

What manner of weapons do you prefer? I'll keep an eye out for you.

[knifecollecting]

I'd prefer a shotgun.

[Though she's pretty sure getting one might be hard here.]

Knives would work too.

[preseance]

All right.

I've got a knife you can use in the meantime, so long's I get it back when you ain't got use of it any more.

[knifecollecting]

I'm not going to take a man's knife. You need that.

[And she'll feel kind of weird using someone else's knife.]

[preseance]

I've got two. Boot knife and a trench knife. Can't hardly use them both in a crisis.

It would make me feel better to know folks are armed and able to look after themselves. Think of it as a work reduction project from the local docs.

[knifecollecting]

If you look at it that way, I'll accept. I'll take your least favorite.

[She knows how attached one can be to a knife.]

[preseance]

( he just sees 'em as tools. but he's more familiar with the trench knife for reasons he'd rather not get into, so — )

I'll pass along the boot knife, then. You can come pick it up at the Church, I'll leave it out for you if'n I'm not there.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo is a little more attached to her knives.]

I appreciate that. Can I do anything for you?
