Some of us at the hospital have been thinking that it would be good to get a general medical background from people, so we're better prepared in case of...well anything, really. Things like blood type, allergies, any known conditions or family history. But also, given we come from so many different places, there could be anatomical differences that may be important to know.

If you want to answer here you're welcome to, or myself and/or Lauri-Ell would be happy to meet with you in person.

I promise, we'll do our best to ensure this information stays private and is only used in case of emergency, but of course it's entirely voluntary. We understand if anyone would prefer not to.

And if anyone needs help with anything please don't hesitate to ask or drop by.

How's your head today, any better?
I hope you've been taking care of yourself out there. Sometimes I wish you weren't so stubborn.
I might have some news to cheer you up. Are you busy?

Ah, you work with the medical needs. I would like to extend an offer to you.

I have been, amid my other cloth work, making bandages spelled against illness and with a bit of healing spelled into them as well. I have been trying to come up with a way to store them in a safe way that would keep their magic potent and them from being tainted by illness.

Normally back home we have warded rooms to put them in, or spelled cases of spell-fast wood and metals.

Perhaps you can assist me?

[wearingthestars]

You can do that??

I mean, yeah, I can definitely do that I think. That would be super convenient actually. I'd love to help!

[stitch_witch]

Of course I can do that. Did your magic teachers not teach you a skill of spelling mundane things? I know it's not as common in academic magic in my world, but it's rather basic.

I would be happy to teach you if you wish. And any ideas on storage is glad for me. I've been working on them for months.

[wearingthestars]

I didn't really have magic teachers. Until more recently, and he was more focused on teaching me to stop this whole inter dimensional magic parasite that he actually set after me, so um- yeah, no, I'm lacking in a lot of the basics.

I'd like that. Do you have time? I don't want to impose or anything.
And definitely- we could add some to the first aid kits we've been making up. Which...I never even thought about enchanting to be fireproof or...any of that, but that's an amazing idea. And I can make up one of the storage rooms to be spelled to. Hell, maybe even the whole Hospital? I don't know if I'm strong enough for that, but I could try?

[stitch_witch]

I have time enough for this. I always find time when I need it, and with magic users, it is a duty. I would be a bad member of our magical governance body if I did not make time if you wished it.

It is possible my methods will not suit you, but there is no reason we cannot try. Imbuing things with spells isn't that hard, once you understand the pattern of it. And I could do with someone new to hep watch when I work pattern magic if you wish an exchange.

We work very hard to keep our emergency kits secure. The boxes we often use for storing supplies for studying new illnesses. We gather samples and we don't want those getting out or getting contaminated.

I am not too busy for you.

[Not immediately addressing the initial concerns? Yup.]

[Of course.]

Ooh, 7 words. I think I'm making progress ;) On my way then. Prepare to be pestered, I'm not giving up that easy.

etc., etc.

[sinistral]

Ha ha. Try to find me.

[Six words...]

[wearingthestars]

No magic? I'm getting better. You might have to start actually trying soon. :)

Ready or not~

[sinistral]

We'll see about that. Come get me.

So the only thing to watch out for with me is that I can't have anything with grapes or made from grapes. I've got a serious allergy and will go into anaphylactic shock. But maybe grapes don't exist here anyway.

My blood type is AB positive, which is pretty rare back home. I don't know about here.

Text

[wearingthestars]

Oh wow, that's probably good to know. I don't think I've seen grapes like I know them, but it's possible something here could affect you the same way. Maybe I can figure out how to do an allergy test with the fruits you might be exposed to here? And I should see if they have anything like an epi-pen or if I should magic those up.

Would made from grapes include wine? What about things with grape flavoring, like medicine or candy?

We'll have a better sense once we get more answers. Hopefully we might have some universal donors.

Re: Text

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, I was wondering if there was something similar. It'd be good to know. It absolutely includes wine. Grape flavoring is okay, if it's artificial.

... Wait, you can just make things by magic?!

Text

[wearingthestars]

I'll note that. And I'll start researching to see what we need to do an allergy test safely.

Haha, uh, yeah, kinda? Not everything, but...yeah. Especially here, it kind of messes with my powers.

Is this a huge earth shattering level thing, or a slight surprise, I am super bad at the whole just casually dropping the magic thing on people. Sorry.

Re: Text

[crystalmaster]

Great. Thanks.

It sounds pretty useful either way. Do you actually make them, or is it a thing where you just teleport existing ones from somewhere else?

Ah, really just closer to slight surprise. Using magic isn't really widespread back home, that I'm aware of, anyway, but it's not the most shocking thing I've encountered here.

[The most shocking is being there at all.]

For any further information, please contact me.

[wearingthestars]

Thank you! Are any of your home allergies serious? It's possible something here might make you react the same way, I can make sure you have an epi-pen or medication on hand if you think it could be a risk?

[alwayssomethingtolearn]

No, I would only break out in hives. The odds of it happening here are remote as well, so I would not worry. 

[wearingthestars]

All right! If you ever need anything, let me know.

[alwayssomethingtolearn]

Thank you, I shall keep your generosity in mind!

Though, I should ask for an introduction as well. Do you work at the hospital?

Patient confidentiality is still in play here? In Temba? That's good to know.

[Text]

[wearingthestars]

I mean, I'll definitely try my best. I'm not really a doctor and we don't really have any kind of laws here, but I wouldn't want to go sharing anyone's person information.

[Text]

[notsuitedforthis]

Well those are good points too, but I feel like I can trust you on that. Not sharing information, that is. And trying your best counts towards it, right?

[Text]

[wearingthestars]

I appreciate the show of trust :) Would you feel comfortable sharing then?

[Text]

[notsuitedforthis]

I think so. In person. Generally I can say I'm doing alright for myself.
