Given the nature of today's curse, if you injure yourself at all, I'd strongly advise you to go to the hospital. Even a minor scrape or bruise can be deadly if the blood doesn't clot, and in some cases serious damage can be done by an injury that isn't even apparent-- internal bruising and bleeding are more difficult to detect, and therefore all

Sutures. Half the waiting room are standing around because they've got a boo-boo on their finger.

I'm recommending keeping anyone in showing severe bruising or joint pain, keeping both ORs on alert for internal bleeds where cauterisation fails. Keeping up with the patient flow is harder, but sure, tell them their scratches could be fatal. That'll calm things down.

I'd rather spend the extra time checking people who are fine and maybe scare some of them into being careful for today than have someone's stiff upper lip cost them their heartbeat.

You're scaring people for no reason. Even without a clotting agent, someone dying from a scratch or minor haematoma in the space of a day is unlikely at best. Recommending spending the day at home wrapped in a big fluffy blanket would be more salient advice in most cases.

This is essentially a widespread outbreak of severe hemophilia, that seems worth worrying about. Especially considering that we cant be certain this is just a one-day situation.

Now I know how Sleeping Beauty must have felt.

[as_damaged]

Surrounded by thorns, you mean?

[miss_waldorf]

The prospect of bleeding to death.

[as_damaged]

As long as you're careful, you should be all right. I just don't want anyone to underestimate the severity of anything that does happen, and suffer for it.

[eiremagic]

I can'.

I can' handle all this, it's too much.

Eden...

If you can't stomach it, can you get home to wait it out?

[eiremagic]

I'm just waitin' in the morgue.

[as_damaged]

I'd offer to walk you, but I'm not sure if when I'll get a moment free...

I would recommend against using needles of any type. My own attempts at sutures only led to more bleeding... I've sent for some liquid skin adhesive to see if that would prove more successful.

I think it's a safer bet.

Definitely.

I hope that things are still manageable at the Hospital. Until my own condition improves, I'll be unable to help...

You were injured yourself?

It's busy, but the number of serious cases isn't unreasonable.

[walkofshamed]

Seems pointless. Why not just use magic?

[as_damaged]

Are you volunteering to do so?

[walkofshamed]

So along with no Ministry, no medi-witches in this City, then?

[as_damaged]

The existence of magical means to treat illnesses doesn't preclude the use of more conventional methods. Particularly during times of crisis.
