JOBS: Diagnosis, Treat Injury
Dan staggers back to the entrance of Cloisteredtombs, and after the drawbridge is lowered Tulon and Rodicurst hustle him down to the hospital area. Sitting him down in the corner, Rodicurst examines his wounds.
Dan's left forearm has a long, deep gash that runs straight to the bone- there is a small piece of chipped bone that needs to be removed before the wound can be cleaned, sutured, and bandaged.
[2]+3 After a bit of testing Rodicurst finds that Dan has a mild concussion- this will result in bouts of dizziness for the next week or so, but there is little that Rodicurst can do about it other than monitor the patient closely and confine him to bedrest if the symptoms get worse. The concussion should heal on its own eventually- future concussions will likely be worse and have an increased risk of brain damage or other permanent effects.
Dan's chest is one large bruise, and 2 ribs are broken. [1]+3 Rodicurst determines that Dan will have some difficulty breathing and will tire more easily until they heal, but there is little that can be done other than tightly wrapping the chest with bandages and avoiding strenuous activity.
Rodicurst takes off Dan's left shoe to examine the injured toes. The third toe is fractured and swollen, and needs bandaging. The second toe is completely mangled, with 2 pieces of bone jamming through the toe, and after some searching the missing toenail is found inside the shoe. This wound is easily the most serious, because it cannot be easily closed and therefore presents a serious and continued risk of infection. [1]+3 Rodicurst would dearly like to immobilize the foot in a cast, but lacking those materials he elects to amputate the toe and close that cleaner wound.
Tulon brings down a newly crafted bed, and after Rodicurst cleans his hands he takes off to refill the bucket. After helping Dan into bed, Rodicurst [5]+3 decides that the arm injury is the most pressing, and
begins the operation! Rodicurst pins the arm to the table near the bed [4]+2 and fishes the bone chip out of the flesh quickly and competently. Tulon returns with another bucket of water from the murky pool [1]+2-1(nasty water) Rodicurst cleans out the wound as best he can, but rolling around in the mud fighting zombies is not the best way to avoid an infection. [3]+2 Rodicurst sutures up the wound, and then [2]+2 bandages it up.
After Tulon returns with yet another bucket of water, Rodicurst washes up in preparation for the amputation.
That's about all the time Rodicurst has- the rest of the treatments will be completed next phase. There will also be rolls to dodge infection for the arm and toe, although if the toe DOES get infected it won't really matter since it is going to be amputated.
