Journal of Dr. Logum, Ph.Dwarf, Chief Medical Officer of Ganadstot, “Specialsurprise”
As of the last journal entry, no new test subjects arrived, and we are sitting at 41 available subjects. The general moral of the camp is average, with Subject 9 seemingly the only unhappy one among them. The promise of easy work, free booze, and loads of free time is being kept and is keeping spirits up for the most part.
This fourth phase of testing will conclude, hopefully, the second phase of testing – we will be seeing the return of subjects 6, 7, 9, and 10 to the experiment. Every one of them, plus a fifth subject, will be dropped from three stories.
---------------------------------------------
Subject 6: Male, approx. 66 years, average
Medical Health: All previous wounds healed admirably, no lasting, visible scars.
Test: Three Story Drop
Results: Subject suffered instantaneous death upon landing. Unknown if it is due to landing technique or fluke. Subject did not survive.
Notes: A fairly uneventful test.. results did not even procure workable material to practice my skills on. Such a shame, such a waste of material.
--
Subject 7: Male, approx 55 years, corpulent (Boy did he let himself go)
Medical Health: All previous wounds except his shoulder have healed. His shoulder bone was unable to heal , probably due to the inability to immobilize it. (Bug?) Shoulder is infected.
Test: Three Story Drop
Results: Instantaneous death. Body is completely intact. Results indicate previous test was not a fluke. Further testing is needed. Subject did not survive.
Notes: Again, a waste of material to work with. At the least however, we may be able to salvage the cloth and thread from expired subjects. Recycling is important. If only we could recycle the bodies themselves to help feed the other subjects.
--
Subject 9: Female, approx 55 years, Thin
Medical Health: All previous wounds have healed, except the lower spine's nervous tissue. Injury is permanent, and results in permanent loss of lower limb function.
Test: Three Story Drop
Results: First toe on the right foot broken, smashed open, and bruised. Left Lower Leg bruised and broken. Right Upper Leg bruised and broken. Lower body bruised. Guts is bruised. (That's what it says)
Treatment: Upper Right Leg and Left Lower leg need suturing, setting, and immobilization. First toe, right food needs dressing, suturing, and surgery. Left Lower Leg also needs Traction.
Notes: Although Subject 9 was in very little pain from the impact, due to the absence of feeling in it's lower body and beyond, Nurse Emma gave it a generous amount of tranquilizer to put it out so I may work on it without it having to attempt a diagnosis of itself as well as it insulting my medical practices. Seeing Subject 9, of all the subjects, survive is both a boon and a curse. A boon because it is good to see that the three story drop experiment isn't completely fatal, and a curse because Subject 9 was the one that is the most troublesome, due mainly in part to its medical expertise.
Subject 9 is now resting in traction, which is preferable to it being anywhere near other test subjects, where it is able to spread its lies.
--
Subject 10: Female, approx 86 years, extremely muscular
Medical Health: All previous wounds have healed admirably
Test: Three Story Drop
Results: Subject is in critical condition. Lower Left Leg bruised and broken, Upper Right Leg bruised and broken, Lower Right Leg bruised and broken, Guts is bruised, Lower and Upper Body Bruised, Middle Spine broken. Subject cannot breathe.
Treatment: Not applicable. Subject suffocated before treatment could begin. Most likely due to the injury to the spine. Subject did not survive.
Notes: An interesting result.. the subject survived the landing, but due to the major injury to its middle spine, suffocated shortly afterward.
--
Subject 16: Female, approx 77 years, fat
Test: Three Story Drop
Results: Instantaneous death upon impact. Subject did not survive.
Notes: The results corresponded with the majority of the previous tests of this phase, so it was expected.
-------------------------------------------------
And thus concludes the fourth phase of testing. Sixty-Percent of the tests concluded that a three story drop is fatal upon impact. The fifth phase of testing will attempt to confirm this. Fifteen test subjects will be chosen at random, five of which will be dropped simultaneously in three mass tests. Due to the arrival of two more waves of test subjects during the fourth phase of testing, space at the testing facilities is running low, thus it is imperative that we make room for more test subjects. Confirming this experiment by using large volumes of subjects will be the key to this.
Subject 9 still evades expiration. It has survived three tests so far, more than any other subject to date. It has survived a one story, two story, and three story fall. I will give it a few months recuperation before more testing on the subject will resume. For now, Subject 9 will remain in traction, kept constantly sedated as to not disturb me with its insufferable ramblings.

As of this phase of testing, Dr. Logum is currently at Adequate Diagnostician, Wound Dresser, Suturer, and Bone Doctor. Surgeon remains at Dabbling, but is nearing Novice.
