Sterile Water kanda leaves and salve for numbing {1 tin} green antiseptic healing powders sterile bandages and dressings tying silk strips to secure large bandages bosk gut for stitching Masters silk for stitching Mistresses pilers and tweezers to remove foreign objects from wounds antidote for poison herbal emetics to induce vomiting. (1 bottle) green paga for cleansing hands agrimony salve(anitbotic salve) bone needles for stitching paga (1 bottle) willow bark (1 tin) healing salve (1 jar) anitiseptic ointment (1 jar) poison antidote (1 bottle) tubing and a bota for the IV or chest tube or tracheotomy knife pair of tweezers pliars trocar like ice pick...to open punctured lung pre-threaded needles: curved and straight with dissolvable gut (3 each S/M/L) cauterizing iron assorted butterfly clamps(holding open wounds or clamping an artery) folded clean rep-cloths rolled bandages rep cloth and silk (6 rolls each) physicians tape syringe (4) clamp (4) stetascope(2) scalples (4) Medical supplies are kept in medkits throughout the Camp and in the Medical Wagon next to supply wagon. They are to be checked and restocked the beginning of each day and after every spar and raid. Goreans are rarely sick. Many toxins are found though and a Gorean may be poisoned or injured, though they do heal amazingly fast. A severed limb can be reattached and fully functional in three days. The same with broken bones. A wound unless needing stitching only needs to be cleaned and lightly coated with antiseptic salve. Wounds that require cauterizing for blood loss and suturing or just suturing will take only a couple of days to heal. Bruises take merely a day, sprains a couple of days. They are treated with herbal liniments and ice or soaks in the hot springs. Poisons work fast. Usually noted by the third heartbeat of the slave testing the food and she will be dead by the 10th heartbeat but full recovery if given milk and honey and the antidote is swift. It only takes a couple of hours and the slave is back to work. Some of the herbs available are kanda leaf, a poisonous narcotic if ingested but when chewed, numbs the body thus relieving pain. Too much chewed will also poison. This can be ground fine and added to salve of boiled lards, steamed to purify and is used as kanda leaf salve which numbs the skin its applied to. A green herbal powder of antiseptic properties is available to add to paga for a sterilizing anti-infective purpose. It can be used to bathe wounds and it may also be sprinkled on dressing wound. Also, it is a good idea to wash hands with this before treating injuries to prevent possibility of infection. Infections are almost unheard of. Valerian (sleeping aid) is used in the herbal tea with small amounts of kanda. This tea aids in prevention of infection, pain relief and making One sleepy. Willow bark may be added to teas for bruises, strains or head injury or used alone for headaches. As well as chewed for mild pain. Peppermint is used in teas along with ginger to relieve indigestion. Very rare lemon and honey and ginger in tea is a restorative for sore throats which is very rare, almost unheard of, in a Gorean. There is also a kettle of boiling water and restorative broth constantly simmering. keep checking this throughout the day too. The cauterizing irons are left in the coals to be ever ready and there is a verr skin bota of paga there as well, to be kept warm. For bathing wounds, add green powder right before using the paga. ~again this beast thanks Mistress for allowing her to post this ahn~ |
