Video: Some Medical Administration

[dnaofahalfa]

Hello everyone! [A friendly wave.] My name is Razzy for those who I haven't met. Been here a little more than two weeks.

[Video pans to some papers hanging just inside the triage door] Anyway, I just wanted to inform everyone I've put up some sign up sheets in the triage and medical carriages. I know, its a lot to keep track of people going in and out of places like this, but you know what's always important?

Knowing who can help medically.

I figure having physical lists will make it easier to keep track of medical people who are here and get new medical people signed up. I'll do my best to update the lists of departures too.

Anyway, anyone who has experience with medical treatment, knows someone who does, or meets anyone new on the platform who does, please direct them to sign up.

I've also included a page for therapy because honestly, I'm sure some people here need therapy.

There is a section for Quarantine Aid because you can't be too careful in a closed system.

There is also an 'Other' category for anything I didn't think of specifically, or for strange abilities. Do you have dream walking abilities? Are you an empath? Can you help heal the soul? Can you take care of magical taint? Sign up there please!

This way people looking for help can easily find it instead of suffering in lost silence.

Thank you, have a good day.

There are also white armbands at Dressing to consider, though that stock will be limited now; they were made by Kumoko.

Still, they're useful in identifying medical support on the field immediately.

[dnaofahalfa]

I should get one of those.

But I figured this was a good way to specify what people can do.

Just because someone can do first aid doesn't mean they're ready to do heart surgery, you know?

It is good to see an announcement about this. It is good to know who has what abilities so that we can act more efficiently.

I am Lan WangJi, one of the leaders of the blue team. I do not have medical training, but I can assist with basic injuries if needed.

My sect also has the ability to use music to our advantages. One of the songs I know is the Song of Clarity. It can be used to help the mind.

[gundamofthedesert]

I... will have to fill that out. I have an ability that I call my space heart. I can sense other people's emotions.

[dnaofahalfa]

Ooooh, that sounds cool.

Yeah, that sort of thing can help a lot. At least for Other section, sometimes people have a real hard time understanding their own emotions. And maybe therapy if you're up to it, that can be intense.

That's what I was thinking. Like vaguely knowing it for missions is one thing, but sometimes you have a specific problem and going to everyone whose a field medic can be a lot. Especially if people have problems asking for help.

That sounds like first aid to me. I pretty much learned on the job myself.

That sounds really cool. That could be the other. At least until I get enough of a pattern to break that down into things, but then I just have to move names around when I consolidate in a couple of weeks. But its amazing how just some mental clarity can change a lot.

[bakegarasu]

This is a good idea. I've been trying to track down all the medics so red team knows where to go.

I can help out a little - I know some first aid. Not really trained, but I've had to bandage up my own wounds often enough to know how to do it on other people.

[dnaofahalfa]

That's what I figured. The last place I was in, my team was known for being the medics for most things. We got a lot of visitors, but they knew where to go.

On the job is valid. That's how I learned, helping my older teammates. Got pretty good at it.

[bakegarasu]

Can't do CPR or anything like that but I can tend to wounds. I always carry bandages with me, too. Can't feel pain, so I always have to check for cuts.

[wewillwewill]

Pray inform me if the stock depletes. I will take one and make sure it is replenished when needed.

[dnaofahalfa]

Always having bandages on hand is a good policy. Probably make a note about the CPR thing. Though I could teach you if you want.

Though, oof, not feeling pain. Not feeling things always makes it harder.

[wewillwewill]

I am versed enough in healing magicks and physical techniques to be of assistance, though I'm not what you call a professional chirurgeon. You may also call on me for Quarantine Aid in most circumstances. I'll stop by to fill out your forms when I can.

Though I would like to caution anyone to understand the risks of exposure to the unknown. Even if your world's diseases do not affect you, we are constantly faced with the standards of different worlds.

Approach any ailment with caution until we are certain of its nature.

[dnaofahalfa]

Whatever things you can help with works. I'll add more pages if I miss things too. I'm pretty much running on what experienced in a close system.

That's why I have the note of be aware of the nature of the disease.

Like I know I was immune to a sickness that was going around because I could change my molecular structure, but I also know there's work arounds where I could still be poisoned.

[bakegarasu]

It does. But it's how my body's built. Can't exactly change it now.

... Also I don't think I'd want to. It sounds awful.

[dnaofahalfa]

It can be awful, but it can also help. Its a pretty powerful motivator to keep yourself alive.

[wewillwewill]

If you're aware and taking precaution, that is admirable.

Given the variety of healing spells and methods I've observed on this voyage, it help your records to have a form for that specific category rather than grouped with a miscellany.

Let the 'Others' refer to skills that belong to no specific category, such as supply carriers or transport.

[bakegarasu]

I guess. I'm probably not the best person to ask on that last part, but.

[He shrugs.]

I've got other reasons to want to keep going.

[dnaofahalfa]

I guess I'm used to healing magic being first aid. It usually only could be, but without a limit to healing spells here...I can add another page for magical healing. Maybe Disease and Poison too.

Though I'm not sure if supply carriers or transport are really relevant for this. This is more looking for the medical aid over supply of stuff.

I figure if there's a pattern amongst a lot of others, I can make new categories and consolidate that info in a couple of weeks. Other is more for the really weird stuff.

Like I know dream walking can help. And the thing I can do, a Heart Game, is such an intense, weird thing that I can't really put it anywhere else. Sometimes people have creative ability usage. That sort of thing.

[dnaofahalfa]

Maybe its because I've felt both.

Being able to feel is....a lot less scary.

But reasons are good.

[bakegarasu]

Why's it less scary to feel?

... I'm not trying to be an ass [right now] I just literally don't know.

[dnaofahalfa]

Because when you don't feel, you could be missing a whole leg and not even know it. You don't know what's wrong, so anything and everything could be wrong. And when you look, and you see its wrong, but can't feel...

Its like suddenly nothing is real.

So pain, even when its terrible, even when its the worst thing imaginable tearing you apart, feeling it means you're still there. Its still real, you're still alive, and you know what's wrong, and you can still try to fix it.

[wewillwewill]

Ah, when I speak of supply, I don't mean procurement or crafting, but of actual transport to those who need it in the field. There are many people who do not have the medical skills but can be trained or have training in handling and transport of supplies or the injured. Having people who can do these tasks will free the healers to focus on the actual patients and needs.

My skills can be used on the battlefield, but not all healers have that luxury. Having knowledge of people who can transport the gravely injured to a treatment center will also help this efficiency. There are those who cannot fight but have the strength of heart or body to face the terrors of the war and bring supplies.

May I ask what a Heart Game is?

[bakegarasu]

I guess... I can't relate. I've only ever felt emotional pain and I hate it. I can still feel things, just not pain. I've got other factors that let me know I'm alive.

Adrenaline's a big one with that.

[dnaofahalfa]

Oooh.

I think there is an actual job for that. Its the people in Ambulances, but I don't know what they're called. Honestly, that seems like it should be its own category itself? Emergency Transport, maybe? Teleporters and people who can keep bodies in place and stuff like that.

Its a manifestation of a person's soul into a space that people can interact with. Everything is a person's self makes up this space. It was necessary for dealing with a being who liked to use magic to corrupt a person's self. Therapy couldn't help, there wasn't enough power to just fix it, so people had to go in and fix it more manually. And we've used it to also help with magical contracts, magical taint, weird soul stuff, high trauma when time was too short to let therapy due its thing. Its highly risky, but highly effective, but it also requires a number of people close to the person whose Heart it is. Understanding the person is pretty key in safely navigating it for the runners and the person whose heart it is.

But when you need a thing nothing else works for, its very good to have.

[dnaofahalfa]

Adrenaline is pretty good.

It may just be the contrast. I've seen people who wished they could be numb before without really...knowing.
