New ultrasound cuff can stop internal bleeding on the battlefieldI am SO using this idea in Kismet. Of course, they'll probably be so far beyond that in 2752 that it'll be like applying magnets for "internal troubles", but I've conveniently ignored this fact of technological evolution in every other aspect of their technology, so why stop with

Awesome! Kinda eliminates the need for nanomachine technology.
Which for the record has lots of cool possibilities too.

Nanites are almost *too* powerful, really, especially after 700+ years of technological development. That's one of those things that I kinda just don't deal with, because the changes that nanite technology would likely wreak on society would be so vast that it would render the Kismetverse more alien than I really want to write. (Not that I would rule out the possibility of dealing with it in other stories, but Kismet just isn't meant to be that unrecognizable.)
