Fifth Gate [Text]

Who: Jennifer Keller and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: August 20th

Since it seems like the Iskaulit is going to be staying with us for a while, I'm kicking around the idea of converting a room or two into a medical clinic of sorts. Since not every ship has a medbay, it'd be useful for people on those ships to have another option, or for people who want a bit more privacy if they need a checkup or to get an injury looked at.

I know our medics are stretched pretty thin, though. Would this idea be feasible? I'm not sure, but I though it was worth bringing up anyway.

If you say so! ;)

What is kolto gel? We don't have that in my world.

It's this healing stuff that comes from a planet called Manaan... not that there'd be any here. But whatever you call the equivalent.

It depends specifically on what kolto gel can heal, but we have antibiotics- gels or creams that can kill harmful bacteria to speed up the body's natural healing processes and prevent infection.

Pretty much anything that's not instantly fatal, though you might have to float around in a tank for a while. We've got those kind of more common first aid supplies in my Galaxy too, but it doesn't have as big a punch.

Really, now? Makes me wish we had some of that here- it would be awesome to just stick someone in a tank and let the gel do its work.

Yeah it's handy, but I bet it's pretty boring to be the tank-ee once you're done being grateful for it not hurting anymore.

True. If they're still conscious through the whole process... I'd be a little creeped out by that myself.

I hope neither of us have to take a dip in one and find out. What do you use for big healing jobs here?

Mostly good old fashioned medical know-how, though there are some that have magical healing gifts as well. We have yet to have a large-scale crisis or any injuries we can't handle with what we have, and I hope it never gets to that point.
