Hi all. John Watson.

I'm with the original batch of refugees and there's a lot of you I haven't met - a lot I probably never will. [ at this point, with everything so permanently Wild, why not be blase about being Batch Number 1? ] As a doctor, I'd like to reassure and remind you that if the medical methods on offer here make you uncomfortable, there are alternatives. There are plenty of medical professionals from various backgrounds among us, so I encourage you to ask around if you need to. Don't feel like the Sanctuary's your only option - although from what I understand a lot of us do work there now, so it's also a safe place to go even if you are wary.

On that note, I'm putting together a list— yeah, I know we all hate the L word, don't panic —of people who are either medically trained or capable of healing magic. If you fit into that, anywhere from an ability to deliver first aid to, I don't know-- magical liposuction. [ this is a thing he regrets saying as soon as it's said, the immediate frown of "??? why the fuck" appears on his face literally immediately before being smoothed forcibly away ] Get in touch. I'll need to know a few basics. Skillset, medical background, level of expertise, whether or not you're comfortable to be contacted by fellow refugees, whether or not you're comfortable to be contacted to help in an emergency. You don't need to fire it all at me in one go unless you want to, we'll have a chat. Feel free to reply privately, that's fine. Replying doesn't immediately put you on a public database, I won't be handing out your name to anybody without your permission. Thanks.

[ aaaaand with a brief pause to consider if there's anything else to add, a small hand-lift of a wave to the camera when he decides there isn't, it's John out ]


( ooc: please input your medically trained/magical healer/therapist/etc character's info into this spreadsheet if you're interested in having your character contacted for medical shenanigans! It's fine to respond to the spreadsheet without replying to this post, but ICly your character will have needed to make themselves known to John somehow to end up on this list, so we can handwave it (default, no contact necessary) or you can get in touch to work out the details! )

No. Not really.

[ WHY MUST EVERYONE FOCUS ON MY MISTAKES ]

[Come on, John what else did you expect when you dangle something like that in everyone's faces?!

But focusing.]

Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about medical stuff here?

[enarms]

You can certainly try, and I'll do my best to answer. Though I'll say in advance that I won't be any help with questions about the Sanctuary.

[ just a preface... just in case... ]

A friend of mine. [And Alex actually does mean a friend.] Needs medications. What should he be doing about it?

Also hi, I'm Alex Reagan.

[enarms]

[ oh. that's something he can offer direction for. ]

Hi. —At the minute, we're still in the process of figuring out how to to put together new drugs from the things we find down here. I don't think we're going to be able to hit anyone's previous prescription, we just don't have the same ingredients.

The best thing for him to do is speak to the Orbiters. They might have a stockpile of what he needs, or have other ways of accessing his medication.

[Yep, Alex is actually making a physical note about that in the rather full notebook in front of her.]

Do they often wake up people who are sick and send them down here, do you know? I mean why send down someone in pain?

[enarms]

Not in my experience. It seemed like the idea was to keep people in those things for as long as they needed, otherwise the selection of who does and who doesn't wake up seems fairly random. But I suppose if something's not curable in stasis, there's no use keeping somebody in there forever.
