I don't have any sort of knowledge with healing in any form other than basic first aid and CPR; stuff everybody should know. To be honest, I just don't have the brains for medicine in any form. The fact that you can is already impressive. Right there is more than I could do. Helping somebody to live through something that years ago would have most likely killed them is something that earns more than congratulations. It earns admiration and respect.
